Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On October 27, 2000 the Registrant's President approved the
engagement of Hoffman, Fitzgerald & Snyder, P.C. and the
dismissal of Scrudato & Co. as the principal accountants to audit
the Registrant's financial statements. The decision to change
auditors was made in connection with the recently completed share
exchange, previously reported, and was not the result of any, and
there have been no, disagreements, during the two most recent
fiscal years on any matter of accounting principles or practice,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
None of the former auditor's reports on the Registrant's financial
statements for either of the two most recent fiscal years
contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion or was
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles. As the composition of the Board of Directors resulting
from the recently completed share exchange, above referenced, is
currently in transition, pending compliance with Rule 14f-1,
engagement of the new auditors will be submitted to the new Board
for ratification.
Item 5. Other Events

Meeting of the Board of Directors and Stockholders, the sole
director of The Viola Group, Inc. and shareholders holding in
excess of a majority of the total voting power of The Viola Group,
Inc.'s capital stock determined to change the corporation's name
to DataMEG Corp.
Attached as an exhibit is the Certificate of Amendment to the
Certificate of Incorporation of The Viola Group, Inc., as filed
with the New York Department of State on September 7, 2000,
effectuating the name change to DataMEG Corp.
