Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
Sweeney, Gates & Co. ("Sweeney Gates") was terminated as independent
accountant for the registrant, 1st Internet Group, Inc. ("1st Internet"), on
January 20, 2000. Sweeney Gates' reports on the financial statements of 1st
Internet for 1998 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 the period that Sweeney Gates was engaged by 1st Internet
there were no disagreements between 1st Internet and Sweeney Gates on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Sweeney
Gates' satisfaction, would have caused Sweeney Gates to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreements in connection with any such report. Richard
A. Eisner & Company, LLP was engaged on January 31, 2000 as the principal
accountant to audit the 1st Internet statements.
Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.
1. Letter re change in certifying accountant.
