Item 5. Other Events
On April 4, 2000 Compost America Holding Company, Inc. (the "Company")
filed a report on Form 8-K in which it disclosed that on March 28, 2000 the
Company had been advised by Arthur Andersen LLP, the Company's auditors for its
fiscal year ended April 30, 1998, that Arthur Andersen LLP had withdrawn its
Auditor's Report dated January 12, 1999 on the Company's financial statements
for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1998. This withdrawal had been based upon
the information set forth on pages 17, 19, F-12 and in the Auditor's Report
included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for its fiscal year ended April 30, 1999,
filed on March 20, 2000 (the "Withdrawal Issues").
After further discussions, the Company and Arthur Andersen LLP now have
resolved the Withdrawal Issues and Arthur Andersen LLP has informed the Company
that it is prepared to reissue its Auditor's Report on the Company's financial
statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1998. The Company intends to
include this Auditor's Report in the Company's First Amendment to its Form
10-KSB for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999, which the Company plans to file
later this month. This amendment will include revised information with respect
to the Withdrawal Issues.
