ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

     Dynatec International, Inc. (The Company) has appointed KPMG Peat 
     Marwick, LLP as the Company's new certifying, independent accountant 
     effective for the audit for the year ending December 31, 1997.  
     Management believes that the Company has reached a level of financial 
     complexity which demands the resources of a major public accounting 
     firm.  The Salt Lake City office of KPMG Peat Marwick is highly 
     regarded, and the Company feels the engagement of KPMG will better poise 
     the Company to achieve the financial results it can deliver.

     As a result of this action approved by the Company's board of directors, 
     the former independent accountants, Jones, Jensen, & Company, have been 
     dismissed as of December 16, 1997.  The Company has no disagreements 
     with its former accountants on the accounting and financial disclosures 
     in this filing.

     The report of Jones, Jensen & Company on the Company's financial 
     statements for the year ended December 31, 1996, and the report of 
     Kartchner & Purser, P.C. on the financial statements for the period 
     ending December 31, 1995, contained no adverse or disclaimer of opinion.

     Further, there were no disagreements with the former accountants on any 
     matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statements 
     disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which were not resolved to 
     the satisfaction of the former accountants during the two most recent 
     fiscal years and for any subsequent periods preceding the dismissal of 
     the former accountants.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN SECURITIES

COMMON STOCK

     On December 30, 1996, at a regularly scheduled meeting, the Board of 
     Directors approved Regulation S offerings of its common stock.  Several 
     such stock offerings took place earlier this year as illustrated in the 
     table below.  Regulation S stock is routinely offered at a discount from 
     the bid price.  The subscription agreements were executed in reliance 
     upon the transaction exemption afforded by Regulation S based upon the 
     following facts:

(a)  The Regulation S stock purchasers were not U.S. persons as defined under 
     Regulation S;
(b)  At the time the buy order was originated, the purchasers were outside 
     the U.S. as of the date of execution and delivery of the subscription 
     agreements;
(c)  Shares were purchased for purchasers own accounts and not on behalf of 
     any U.S. person, sales had not been pre-arranged with a purchaser in the 
     U.S., and all offers and resales of securities have been made in compliance
     with Regulation S provisions;

<PAGE>

(d)  The purchasers were not entities organized under foreign law by a U.S. 
     person (as defined in Regulation S Rule 902 (o)) for the purpose of 
     investing in unregistered securities, unless the purchasers were 
     organized and owned by accredited investors (as defined in Regulation D,
     Rule 501 (a)) who are not natural persons, estates, or trusts;

(e)  Purchase transactions were not pursuant to a fiduciary account where a 
     U.S. person had discretion to make investment decisions for the account;

(f)  To the knowledge of the registrant, all offers and sales of the 
     Regulation S shares by purchasers prior to the expiration of a 40-day 
     restricted period were only to be made in compliance with the safe 
     harbor contained in Regulation S, pursuant to registration of 
     securities under the 1933 Act, or pursuant to an exemption from 
     registration. Offers and sales made after the expiration of the 
     restricted period were to be made only after shares had been registered 
     or became subject to exemption from registration. The restricted period 
     began on the closing of the offering or upon the completion of the 
     distribution of the offering as announced by the registrant;

(g)  All offering documents received by purchasers included statements to 
     the effect that the shares had not been registered under the 1933 Act 
     and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. or to U.S. persons unless 
     the shares become registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or an 
     exemption from the registration requirements are available;

(h)  The purchasers acknowledged that the purchase of the shares involved a 
     high degree of risk, and that the purchasers could bear the economic 
     risk of the purchase of the shares, including the total loss of their 
     investment; and
     
(i)  The purchasers understood that the shares were being offered and sold 
     to them in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration 
     requirements of the United States Federal and State securities laws, 
     and that the registrant was relying upon the truth and accuracy of the 
     representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and 
     understandings of purchasers set forth in the subscription agreements 
     in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the 
     suitability of the purchasers to acquire shares.
     
     The following table shows sales of Regulation S securities of the 
     company during 1997:
     
                                                            Offering
  Date of Sale       Title of Security     # of Shares       Price
  ------------       -----------------     -----------      -------

* These four transactions were approved at a December 30, 1996 meeting of 
  the board of directors (please refer to the first paragraph of this section),
  but were funded at the dates indicated in the table above.

     **Please note that the December sale was made to four purchasers, each 
       for $250,000.

P.T. Dolok Permai, purchaser in the first two transactions referenced in the 
above table, may have acted as an underwriter with regard to portions of the 
shares sold in such transactions.
