Item

Changes in Registrant's Certifying
      Accountant.
(a)
(i)  On
      January 2, 2008, Jaco
      Electronics, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed Grant Thornton LLP ("Grant
      Thornton") as independent registered public accounting firm for the
      Company.
(ii)  Grant
      Thornton's
      reports on the Company's financial statements for the past two years did not
      contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified
      or
      modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
(iii)  The
      Audit Committee of
      the Company's Board of Directors recommended and approved the decision to change
      independent accountants.
(iv)  During
      the Company's
      two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding the
      dismissal of Grant Thornton, there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton
      on
      any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
      disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved
      to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton, would have caused it to make reference
      to
      the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its
      reports.
(v)  During
      the Company's two
      most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding the
      dismissal of Grant Thornton, there have been no reportable events as set forth
      in paragraphs (a)(1)(v)(A) through (D) of Item 304 of Regulation
      S-K.
The
      Company requested that Grant Thornton furnish it with a letter addressed to
      the
      Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above
      statements.  A copy of such letter is filed as an Exhibit to this Form
      8-K.
(b)
The
      Company engaged Eisner
      LLP
("Eisner") as its new independent accountants as of
      January 2, 2008.  Prior to such date, the Company, did not consult
      with Eisner regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a
      specified transaction, either completed or proposed, (ii) the type of audit
      opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, or (iii)
      any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph
      (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described
      in
      paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
