How to write an unformatted binary file in MATLAB that will be read in FORTRAN

I have tried the following code, but I keep getting the following error:

I/O past end of record on unformatted file

The code I used to write the file in MATLAB is as follows:

a = [1 2; 3 4];
fid = fopen('K,'wb');
fwrite(fid,a,'*double');
fclose(fid);

The code I used to read the matrix in FORTAN is the following:

C  =============================================================================
      INTEGER          N
      PARAMETER        N = 2
      INTEGER          LDA
      PARAMETER         LDA = N
      CHARACTER K
      DOUBLE PRECISION A( LDA, N )
      OPEN ( UNIT = 1, FILE = "K", FORM = "unformatted",
     $       STATUS = "old" )
      READ (1) A
      CLOSE (1)
C Check whether it produced the correct matrix
      WRITE (*,*) A(1,1)
      WRITE (*,*) A(1,2)
      WRITE (*,*) A(2,1)
      WRITE (*,*) A(2,2) 
      END

I would like the code to have the same effect as me just manually putting the matrix in FORTRAN as shown in the following:

      DATA  A/
       $1, 2,
       $3, 4,
       $ /
