Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On January 19, 2000, the Registrant was informed by J.D. Kish, CPA, the
engagement partner responsible for Quiksilver International Holdings, Inc.'s
audit, that Kish, Leake & Associates, P.C. was resigning. On January 21, 2000,
the registrant retained the firm of Cordovano & Harvey, P.C. as its new
auditors.
Kish, Leake & Associates, P.C. had been the Registrant's principal
accountants for the purpose of auditing its financial statements for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1999. The report of Kish, Leake & Associates, P.C. on
the financial statements of the Registrant did not contain an adverse opinion or
a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles. The Registrant has had no disagreements
with its former principal accountants 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 the former principal
accountants, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreements in connection with its report relating to its audit for the
Registrant.
