ITEM 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

(a)      On December 5, 1996, the Board of Directors of Rose International Ltd.
         (the "Company") approved the appointment of Guest & Company, as the
         independent auditors of the Company for the year ending December 31,
         1996 and also approved the dismissal of BDO Seidman, LLP ("BDO") as the
         Company's independent auditors.

(b)      During the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the subsequent interim
         periods preceding the dismissal of BDO, there were no disagreements
         between the Company and BDO 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
         BDO, would have caused it to make reference in its report to the
         subject matter of the disagreement.

(c)      BDO's report on the financial statements of the Company for the year
         ended December 31, 1995 did not contain an adverse opinion or
         disclaimer of opinion nor was it qualified or modified as to
         uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

(d)      The Company has requested BDO to furnish it with a letter addressed to
         the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether BDO agreed with
         the statements made by the Company herein and, if not, stating the
         respects in which it does not agree. Said letter is filed as Exhibit 16
         to this Form 8-K.
