Stocks  |  Regulatory News  |  Global Markets

June 26 (Reuters) - Heelys Inc (HLYS.O) said on Friday that it has dismissed Deloitte & Touche LLP as its public accounting firm effective June 22, chiefly on cost considerations.

The company, which had recently been exploring strategic options including a possible sale, said the decision was put forward by its audit committee, and that there were no disagreements between the company and Deloitte on the move.

The accounting firm declined to comment.

On June 11, Heelys said the resignation of a board member had left its audit committee with only two members, and in violation of a Nasdaq Rule.

Shares of the company had closed at $2.20 Friday on Nasdaq. (Reporting by Nivedita Bhattacharjee in Bangalore; Editing by Anthony Kurian)
