ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
----------------------------------------------
(a)(1) Bristol Retail Solutions, Inc. ("Bristol") has dismissed
its former principal accountants, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and
appointed the accounting firm of BDO Seidman, LLP as its
principal accountants. The change was made effective September
1, 2000. Bristol's Board of Directors approved the dismissal
of Deloitte & Touche LLP and the selection of BDO Seidman, LLP
as the new principal accountants.
(a)(2) During the period from September 30, 1997 to December 31,
1999 and each subsequent interim period preceding September 1,
2000, there were no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche LLP
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 Deloitte
& Touche LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its
report.
The Deloitte & Touche LLP reports on the financial statements
of Bristol for the periods from December 31, 1997 to December
31, 1999 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, nor were either qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
