Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On March 31, 2000, the management of booktech.com, inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company") dismissed Barry L. Friedman, P.C. ("Barry Friedman")
as its independent auditors. On March 31, 2000, the management of the Company
engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP as its independent auditors to audit its financial
statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000. The decision to dismiss
Barry Friedman and to retain Deloitte & Touche LLP was approved by the Company's
Board of Directors.
The Company's change in independent auditors is a result of the merger
(the "Merger") of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company into booktech.com,
inc, a Massachusetts corporation ("booktech Massachusetts"). Deloitte & Touche
LLP was formerly the independent auditor for booktech Massachusetts. Subsequent
to the Merger the Company has been carrying on the business formerly carried on
by booktech Massachusetts and accordingly appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as its
independent auditor.
The report of Barry Friedman on the Company's financial statements for
the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1999 and subsequent
interim periods 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 except that the report for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998 contained doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern. From January 1, 1998 through May 10, 2000, there were no
disagreements between Barry Friedman and the Company 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 Barry
Friedman, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company's financial
statements.
The Company has furnished Barry Friedman with a copy of this report and
has requested it to furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission stating whether Barry Friedman agrees with the above statements. A
copy of this letter is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
Prior to the Merger, booktech Massachusetts consulted with Deloitte &
Touche LLP regarding the application of accounting principles involved in the
Merger. Deloitte & Touche LLP also consulted with the Company regarding the
Company's 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission April 4,
2000.
