Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On March 22, 2000, URT Industries, Inc. (the "Registrant") elected not to
renew the appointment of KPMG LLP ("KPMG") as the Registrant's independent
public accountants.
On March 22, 2000, the Registrant selected Rachlin Cohen & Holtz LLP
("Rachlin Cohen") to replace KPMG as the Registrant's independent public
accountants. The decision to change auditors was approved by resolution of the
full board of directors.
KPMG's report on the financial statements of the Registrant for each of the
past two fiscal years did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles.
During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years, and the subsequent
interim period through March 22, 2000, there were no disagreements with KPMG on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved
to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its audit report with
respect to financial statements of the Registrant.
During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years, and the subsequent
interim period through March 22, 2000, there was no disagreement or difference
of opinion with KPMG regarding any "reportable event," as that term is defined
in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Registrant has provided KPMG with a copy of this Report, and has
requested that KPMG furnish the Registrant with a letter addressed to the
Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Registrant.
Such letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.
During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period
through March 22, 2000, neither the Registrant nor anyone on behalf of the
Registrant consulted Rachlin Cohen regarding either the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed,
or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the financial statements
of the Registrant or any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement,
within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or any reportable
event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
