Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants.
(a) Previous Independent Public Accountants.
Effective October 1, 2000, Synthonics Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Registrant") dismissed Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") as its
independent public accountants. The Board of Directors of the Registrant
approved this action.
During the past fiscal year and through April 10, 2000, there were no
disagreements with E&Y 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 E&Y, would have caused E&Y
to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in its reports.
E&Y audited the consolidated balance sheets of the Registrant at December
31, 1999, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 (collectively, the
"Financial Statements"). E&Y's reports on the Financial Statements did not
contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and with the exception of a
"Going Concern" qualification because of the lack of material operations of the
Registrant on the dates of the above referenced Financial Statements, were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
The Registrant provided E&Y with a copy of the above statements, and
requested that E&Y furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") stating whether E&Y agrees with such statements. A
copy of the letter of E&Y to the Commission, dated October 10, 2000, is filed as
an exhibit to this current report on Form 8-K.
(b) New Independent Public Accountants.
Effective May 12, 2000, the Registrant engaged the accounting firm of HJ &
Associates, LLC, as independent public accountants of the Registrant.
