Item 4. Changes in the Company's Certifying Accountants
(a) Reg. SB 304 a(1) Previous Independent Accountants
(i) On November 23, 1999, ARXA International Energy Inc. (the "Company")
contacted representatives of Hein + Associates LLP to inform them that their
firm would no longer be engaged as the principal accountant to audit the
Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ending October 31, 1999 and
terminated the relationship effective November 23, 1999.
(ii) Hein + Associates reports on the financial statements for the fiscal
year 1998 contained the following modification as to the uncertainty of the
Companies ability to continue as a going concern.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had
a net loss of $1,748,299 and negative cash flow from operations of $742,455 for
the year ended October 31, 1998 and had an accumulated deficit of $3,195,016 at
that date, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. The Company is currently seeking outside sources of financing to
fund its development efforts. Should the Company be unable to access such
financing, it will have to materially curtail its development and operating
activities. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
(iii) The decision to change accountants was recommended by the Company's
management and approved by the Company's Audit Committee and the Company's Board
of Directors.
(iv) In connection with its audits for the most recent fiscal year ended
October 31, 1998 and 1997 and during the subsequent interim periods through
November 23, 1999 there have been no disagreements with Hein + Associates LLP on
any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
(vi) The Company has requested Hein + Associates LLP to furnish a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") stating whether or
not it agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to Item 304 of
Regulation S-B. (See "Exhibit 16" attached below)
(b) Reg. SB 304(a)(2) New Independent Accountants
(i) The Company engaged Gibbons, Gibbons, & Buck, P.C., 4328 Boulevard Park
S., Mobile, AL 36609 as its new independent accountants effective November 23,
1999. During the most recent fiscal year and through October 31, 1999, the
Company has not consulted with Gibbons, Gibbons, & Buck concerning their
financial statements, including the following items: an audit of the Company's
financial statements as the principal accountant, an audit of a significant
subsidiary as an independent accountant, the application of accounting
principles to a specified transaction or the type of audit opinion that might by
rendered on the Company's financial statements or any matter which concerned a
disagreement or "reportable event" with the previous independent accountants.
