The Cerplex Group, Inc. hereby amends the following Current Report on Form 8-K,
originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 1, 2000
(the "Form 8-K") as set forth in the pages attached hereto:
ITEM 4. AMENDMENT OF CHANGES IN REGISTRANTS' CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On July 21, 2000, the Company, with the approval of the Company's Board of
Directors, engaged Squar, Milner, Reehl & Williamson, LLP as its new independent
auditors, and replaced KPMG LLP, whose appointment as principal accountants was
terminated on July 21, 2000. The report of KPMG LLP, dated December 20, 1999, on
the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 25, 1999
and September 30, 1998 and for the fiscal years then ended was qualified as to
uncertainty relating to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Except as noted in the preceding sentence, the report of KPMG LLP on the
Company's financial statements for either of the two years ended September 25,
1999 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the two fiscal years ended September 25, 1999 and during the period
between September 25, 1999 and the date on which KPMG LLP was terminated, there
were no disagreements between the Company and KPMG LLP 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
KPMG LLP, would have caused KPMG LLP to make reference to the subject matter of
such disagreement in connection with its opinion to the subject matter of the
disagreement.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
