Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
Effective April 7, 2000, Peppermill Capital Corporation (the "Registrant")
engaged Kaufman, Rossin & Company as the Registrant's principal accountants to
audit the Registrant's financial statements for the year ending December 31,
1999. Kaufman Rossin & Company replaces Andersen, Andersen & Strong, L.C. who
had previously been engaged for the same purpose, and whose dismissal was
effective April 7, 2000. The decisions to change the Registrant's principal
accountants was approved by the Registrant's Board of Directors on March 23,
2000.
Andersen Andersen & Strong, L.C. was the Registrant's principal accountant
since the Registrant's date of incorporation on April 9, 1998. The reports of
Andersen, Andersen & Strong, L.C. on the Registrant's financial statements for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principles. The report of Andersen Andersen & Strong,
L.C. covering the period ended December 31, 1998 and February 28, 1999, contains
an explanatory paragraph that states that the developmental state of the
Registrant, and the need for additional working capital for its planned
activities, raise substantial doubt about the Registrant's ability to continue
as a going concern.
During the Registrant's fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, and in the
subsequent interim periods through April 7, 2000, there were no disagreements
with Andersen Andersen & Strong, L.C. 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 Andersen Andersen &
Strong, L.C., would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of
the disagreements in connection with its reports on the financial statements for
such periods.
Andersen Andersen & Strong, L.C. has not informed the Registrant of any
reportable events during the Registrant's fiscal year ended December 31, 1998
and in subsequent interim periods through April 7, 2000.
Andersen Andersen & Strong, L.C. has provided the Registrant with a copy of
a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that it
agrees with the above statements. An executed copy of this letter is filed as
Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-KSB/A.
