Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
---------------------------------------------
(a)(i) On July 23, 1997, IGI, Inc. (the "Company") was informed by the
accounting firm of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P, who have acted as
certifying accountants for the Company for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995, that it was resigning as the Company's auditors
effective as of that date.
(a)(ii) None of the prior certifying accountants' reports on the Company's
financial statements for the past two years contained an adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
(a)(iii) The decision to terminate the client-auditor relationship between the
Company and Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. was initiated by Coopers & Lybrand
L.L.P. and accordingly neither the Company's Board of Directors nor its
Audit Committee participated in a decision to change the Company's
independent accountants.
(a)(iv) For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, and through the
date of this Form 8-K, the Company is unaware of any disagreement with
Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure which would have caused said accountants to make reference to
the subject matter in connection with any report issued by same.
(b)(2) As of the date of this report, the Company has not engaged a new
accounting firm to act as certifying accountants for the year ending
December 31, 1997.
