Item 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
At a meeting held on July 12, 2000, the Board of Directors of Health &
Nutrition Systems International, Inc. (the "Company") approved the engagement of
Daszkal Bolton Manela Devlin & Co. as independent auditors of the Company for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, to replace the firm of Butner & Kahle,
CPAs, P.A. ("B&K"), who were dismissed as the Company's auditors, effective July
12, 2000.
The reports of B&K on the Company's financial statements for the past
two years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles.
In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for
each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, and in the subsequent
unaudited interim period ended March 31, 2000, there were no disagreements with
B&K on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of B&K would have caused B&K to make reference to the subject
matter in their report. The Company has requested B&K to furnish it a letter
addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements.
A copy of B&K's letter dated September 6, 2000, is filed as an exhibit to this
Report.
Item 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS
