Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On September 13, 1999, the Board of Directors of Environmental Products
& Technologies Corporation (the "Registrant") voted to dismiss the Registrant's
auditors, Clumeck, Stern, Phillips & Schenkelberg ("Clumeck Stern"), and on
September 14, 1999, retained the services of Singer, Lewak, Greenbaum &
Goldstein, LLP ("Singer Lewak") of Los Angeles, California to audit the
Registrant's financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1999.
Clumeck Stern's report on the Registrant's financial statements for either of
the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of
opinion, nor was any such report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope, or accounting principles. During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal
years and any subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal of Clumeck
Stern, there were no "disagreements" (as such term is defined in Item 304 of
Regulation S-K) with Clumeck Stern on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.
There are no "reportable events" (as such term is defined in Item 304
of Regulation S-K) that occurred within the Registrant's two most recent fiscal
years or any subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal of Clumeck Stern.
During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent
interim period prior to engaging Singer Lewak, neither the Registrant nor anyone
on the Registrant's behalf consulted Singer Lewak regarding either: (i) 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 Registrant's financial statements or (ii) any matter that was either the
subject of a "disagreement" or a "reportable event."
