Item 4.  Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
         --------------------------------------------
                  Heffler,  Radetich  &  Saitta  was  previously  the  principal
accountant for Moyco Technologies,  Inc. (the  "Registrant").  On June 23, 1997,
the Company determined to terminate Heffler,  Radetich & Saitta's appointment as
principal accountants of the Registrant and to engage Arthur Andersen LLP as the
Registrant's  independent  accountants.  The Registrant's  anticipated worldwide
expansion  and growth  initiated  the  change.  The  decision  to engage  Arthur
Andersen  LLP and to  terminate  Heffler,  Radetich  & Saitta  was  subsequently
recommended  to  and  approved  by the  members  of the  Registrant's  Board  of
Directors.

                  In  connection  with the audits of the three (3) fiscal  years
ended June 30, 1996, there were no disagreements with Heffler, Radetich & Saitta
on any  matter  of  accounting  principles  or  practices,  financial  statement
disclosures,  or  auditing  scope  or  procedures,  which  disagreements  if not
resolved  to their  satisfaction  would have caused  them to make  reference  in
connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreements.

                  The  audit  reports  of  Heffler,  Radetich  &  Saitta  on the
consolidated  financial  statements  of the  Registrant  as of June 30, 1996 and
1995,  and for each of the  years in the three (3) year  period  ended  June 30,
1996,  did not contain any adverse  opinion or disclaimer  of opinion,  nor were
they  qualified  or  modified  as to  uncertainty,  audit  scope  or  accounting
principles.

                  The Registrant  has requested that Heffler,  Radetich & Saitta
furnish it with a letter  addressed to the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission
stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.

Item 5.  Other Matters
         -------------
                  On June 23, 1997, the Registrant appointed Arthur Andersen LLP
its  independent  public  accountants.  There  were no  disagreements  with  the
Registrant's  prior  independent  accountant.  The  Registrant has also retained
Brown Brothers, Harriman & Co. to review its capital structure and other various
strategic opportunities.

                  The  foregoing  is a  summary  of the press  release  which is
attached as Exhibit A to this report and is  incorporated  herein by  reference.
The  foregoing  description  does not purport to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to Exhibit A.


Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits
         ------------------------------------------------------------------

                Exhibit No.                             Description
