Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On January 27, 2000, Arthur Treacher's, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed

principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or

The Company has engaged Daris Monk & Company to replace the Former

Directors on March 19, 2000.
