ITEM 4: CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On April 7, 1999, the client-auditor relationship between Scoop, Inc.
and Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") ceased.
Other than qualifications relating to our continued operation as a
going concern, Deloitte's reports on our financial statements for each of the
past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and
were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.
During our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim
period preceding Deloitte's resignation, there were no disagreements between
Scoop, Inc. and Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures.
We provided Deloitte with a copy of this report and requested Deloitte
to furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission
stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein.
Attached as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K is a copy of Deloitte's letter.
