Item
        4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On
        July 13, 2005,
Measurement Specialties, Inc. ("MSI" or the "Company")
notified
        Grant Thornton of its decision to dismiss Grant Thornton LLP as the Company's
        independent auditors.
Concurrently,
        the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors approved the engagement of
        KPMG
        LLP as MSI's independent auditors, effective upon completion of KPMG's customary
        client acceptance procedures, notification to Grant Thornton of dismissal,
        and
        execution of an engagement letter. KPMG will serve as the Company's auditors
        beginning with the current fiscal year.
During
        the period beginning April 1, 2003 through July 13, 2005 (the date KPMG was
        appointed), neither MSI nor anyone acting on MSI's behalf consulted with KPMG
        regarding (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified
        transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's
        financial statements or (2) any of the matters or events set forth in Item
        304(a) (2) (ii) of Regulation S-K.
The
        reports of Grant Thornton on MSI's financial statements for the past two fiscal
        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.
        During the period from April 1, 2003 through March 31, 2005,
        there
        were no disagreements with Grant Thornton on any matters of accounting
        principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope
        and
        procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton,
        would
        have caused Grant Thornton to make reference to the matter in its report.
MSI
        has
        requested Grant Thornton to furnish it a letter addressed to the SEC stating
        whether Grant Thornton agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter,
        dated July 14, 2005, is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form
        8-K.
Item 9.01.
        Financial Statements and Exhibits.
