ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Effective November 15, 2000, NxGen Networks, Inc. ("NxGen") engaged Ernst &
Young, LLP as NxGen's principal accountants to audit NxGen's financial
statements for the years ending December 31, 1999 and 2000. Ernst & Young, LLP
replaces Andersen, Andersen & Strong, L.C. who had previously been engaged for
the same purpose, and whose dismissal was effective November 15, 2000. The
decision to change NxGen's principal accountants was approved by NxGen's Board
of Directors on September 6, 2000.
<PAGE>
Andersen Andersen & Strong, L.C. was NxGen's principal accountant since October
1998. The reports of Andersen, Andersen & Strong, L.C. on NxGen'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 contains an
explanatory paragraph that states that NxGen has been in the development stage
since its inception and has suffered recurring losses from operations and will
need additional working capital for any future activity, which raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
During NxGen's fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, and in the subsequent
interim periods through June 30, 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 NxGen of any reportable events
during NxGen's fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 and in subsequent interim
periods through June 30, 2000.
NxGen has provided Andersen Andersen & Strong, L.C. with a copy of the
disclosures made herein and has requested Andersen Andersen & Strong, L.C. to
furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission within the
next 10 days stating whether it agrees with the above statements. An unexecuted,
form copy of this letter is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.
