Item 4. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
Effective October 4, 1996, Inland Resources Inc. (the "Company") dismissed
its former independent accountant, Coopers & Lybrand LLP, and engaged Arthur
Andersen LLP as its new independent accountant to audit the Company's financial
statements.
There were no disagreements with Coopers & Lybrand LLP on any matters of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to its satisfaction, would have
caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its report. A copy of a
letter from Coopers & Lybrand LLP, addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission, concurring with the Company's statements herein is filed as an
Exhibit to this Form 8-K.
Neither of the reports of Coopers & Lybrand LLP on the Company's financial
statements for the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994
contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
The decision to change the Company's principal independent accountant was
approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.
