Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
a) Wooden & Benson Chartered was previously the principal accountants for Wyman
Park Bancorporation, Inc. (the "Company"). On March 11, 1998, that firm's
appointment as principal accountants was terminated by the Company. The decision
to change accountants was approved by the board of directors.
In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended June 30,
1997 and the subsequent interim period through March 11, 1998, there were no
disagreements with Wooden & Benson Chartered on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have
caused them to make reference to the subject matters of the disagreements in
connection with their opinion.
The Company requested that Wooden & Benson Chartered furnish the
Company with a letter, as promptly as possible, addressed to the Securities and
Exchange Commission, stating whether it agrees with the statements made in this
Item 4, and if not, stating the respects in which they do not agree. A copy of
such letter, dated March 17, 1998, which the Company received on March 19, 1998,
is filed as Exhibit 16 to this 8-K.
b) On March 11, 1998, the Company engaged Anderson Associates LLP as the
Company's principal accountants.
