ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS
On November 6, 1998, the General Partner, on behalf of
American Republic Realty Fund I, approved the recommendation
to (i) engage Farmer, Fuqua, Hunt & Munselle, P.C. as the
independent accountants for American Republic Realty Fund I
and (ii) dismiss Deloitte & Touche LLP as such independent
accountants.
During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1997 and the
subsequent interim period through November 6, 1998, (i)
there were no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche LLP on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which
disagreements if not resolved to its satisfaction would have
caused it to make reference in connection with its report to
the subject matter of the disagreement, and (ii) Deloitte &
Touche LLP has not advised the registrant of any reportable
events as defined in paragraph (A) through (D) of Regulation
S-K Item 304 (a) (1) (v).
The accountants' report of Deloitte & Touche LLP on the
financial statements of American Republic Realty Fund I as
of and for the year ended December 31, 1997 did not contain
any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles. The accountants' report of Deloitte &
Touche LLP on the financial statements of American Republic
Realty Fund I as of and for the year ended December 31,
1996 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, however it was qualified as to the partnership's
ability to continue as a going concern.
A letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP is attached as Exhibit
A.
