Section 4 — Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

(a)
  As previously reported by Eden Bioscience Corporation (the “Company”) on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 2, 2007 (the “Form 8-K”), KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, notified the Company that the auditor-client relationship between the Company and KPMG would cease upon the completion of the audit of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, and the issuance of KPMG’s report thereon. This Amendment No. 1 to the Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K/A”) is being filed to report that KPMG has completed the audit of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 and issued their report thereon dated March 28, 2007, which report is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed on March 30, 2007. Accordingly, the auditor-client relationship between the Company and KPMG effectively ceased on March 30, 2007 as KPMG declined to stand for re-election.

(b)
  KPMG’s decision to decline to stand for re-election as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was not recommended or approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

(c)
  The audit reports of KPMG on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years December 31, 2006 and 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles except as follows:

KPMG’s report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006, and for the year ended December 31, 2006 contained a separate paragraph stating that “As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, Eden Bioscience Corporation and subsidiaries adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, effective January 1, 2006.”

KPMG’s report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 contained a separate paragraph stating that “As discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for asset retirement obligations effective January 1, 2003.”

(d)
  During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the subsequent interim period through March 30, 2007, there have been no disagreements 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 KPMG, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports.

(e)
  During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the subsequent interim period through March 30, 2007, there have been no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

(f)
  The Company has provided a copy of this Form 8-K/A to KPMG and requested KPMG to furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by Company in this Form 8-K/A, and, if not, identifying the statements with which it does not agree. KPMG’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K/A.

(g)
  The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is conducting a search for KPMG’s replacement with the expectation of retaining a new independent registered public accounting firm prior to filing the Company’s Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007. The Company will report the engagement of a successor independent registered public accounting firm in a subsequent Current Report on Form 8-K.
