Firm

On March 20, 2017, we dismissed Marcum LLP (Marcum) as Interlink
Electronics, Inc.s independent registered public accounting
firm.The decision to dismiss Marcum was approved by the audit
committee of our board of directors.

The audit reports of Marcum on our financial statements as of and
for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 did not
contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles.

In connection with the audit of our financial statements for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and for the
subsequent period through the date of dismissal, there were: (i)
no disagreements between us and Marcum on any matters of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements,
if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused
Marcum to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreements in its report on our financial statements for such
fiscal years; and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning
set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

We provided Marcum with a copy of the disclosures in this Current
Report on Form 8-K and requested that Marcum furnish us with a
letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission
stating whether or not Marcum agrees with our statements in this
Item 4.01.A copy of the letter dated March 21, 2017, furnished by
Marcum in response to that request is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to
this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The audit committee of our board of directors approved the
appointment of RBSM LLP (RBSM) as our new independent registered
public accounting firm, and we formally engaged RBSM as our
independent registered public accounting firm on March 20, 2017.

During our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2016
and 2015 and through March 20, 2017, neither we nor anyone on our
behalf consulted with RBSM with respect to (i) the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction, either
completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be
rendered on our financial statements, and RBSM did not provide
either a written report or oral advice to us that RBSM concluded
was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision
as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or
(ii) any matter that was the subject of any disagreement, as
defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related
instructions, or a reportable event within the meaning set forth
in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
