Section 4 – Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements

Item 4.01 – Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On November 6, 2007, the audit committee of Littlefield Corporation approved a mutual agreement with the company’s independent auditor, Sprouse & Anderson, LLP, to terminate Sprouse & Anderson’s engagement as the company’s independent auditor and to engage Padgett, Stratemann & Co., LLP as the Company’ s new auditor. Sprouse & Anderson has merged with the firm of Padgett, Stratemann & Co., L.L.P. and thus has agreed to resign as the Company’s auditor. At the same time, the Company’s audit committee has approved the engagement of Padgett, Stratemann & Co., LLP as the new auditor and expects to maintain a continuity of auditing experience and personnel.

At the time of terminating the audit engagement, there were no disagreements between the company and Sprouse & Anderson on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Sprouse & Anderson’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. Sprouse & Anderson reported on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years from 1999 through 2006.

The auditor’s reports on the financial statements of the Company during the two most recent fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
