Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants.
On November 14, 1997, Aero Services International, Inc. (the
"Company") dismissed KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as independent accountants
for the Company. The decision to change accountants was recommended by
the board of directors.
The reports of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP on the Company's financial
statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 did not
contain an adverse opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except as follows:
The reports of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP with respect to the Company's
financial statements and related financial statement schedules included in its
Reports on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1995 and
1996 contained a separate paragraph stating that "the Company has suffered
recurring losses from operations and has net working capital deficiencies and
a stockholders' deficit. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the
entity's ability to continue as a going concern." Because of substantial doubt
KPMG Peat Marwick LLP was unable to express, and did not express, an
opinion on the financial statements and related financial statement schedules
for the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1996.
During the two most recent fiscal years of the Company and the
subsequent interim period through November 14, 1997 there were no
disagreements with KPMG Peat Marwick LLP on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, 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 disagreement.
Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits
(a) Not applicable.
(b) Not applicable.
(c) Exhibit 16- Letter re: change in certifying accountant.
