Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
(a) On August 13, 1999, Moore Stephens, P.C. ("Moore Stephens") was
dismissed as auditors of the Registrant. The Cronos Group, a
Luxembourg holding company (the "Parent Company") is the indirect
corporate parent of Cronos Capital Corp. (the "Managing General
Partner"), the Managing General Partner of the Registrant. The
decision to change auditors was made by the Parent Company,
acting through its Board of Directors and Cronos Capital Corp.
Moore Stephens' report on the Registrant's financial statements
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 contained an
unqualified opinion.
During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years, December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the subsequent interim period preceding
such dismissal, there were no disagreements between Moore
Stephens and the Registrant regarding any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedures which would have caused Moore
Stephens to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with its report on the Registrant's
financial statements.
During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years, December
31, 1998 and 1997, internal controls existed to the extent that
Moore Stephens was not required to advise the Registrant that the
internal controls necessary for the Registrant to develop
reliable financial statements did not exist. No information came
to Moore Stephens' attention that led it to no longer be able to
rely on management's representations, or unwilling to associate
with the Registrant's financial statements.
During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years, December
31, 1998 and 1997, and any subsequent interim period preceding
such dismissal, Moore Stephens has not advised the Registrant
that there has been a need to expand the scope of its audit, or
that information has come to its attention that if further
investigated, would materially impact the fairness or reliability
of a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial
statements; or cause Moore Stephens to be unwilling to rely on
the representations of the Registrant's management or be
associated with the Registrant's financial statements.

(b) On August 16, 1999, the Managing General Partner, on behalf of the
Registrant, engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte & Touche") as
the Registrant's independent auditors. During the Registrant's two
most recent fiscal years, December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the
subsequent period prior to engaging Deloitte & Touche, the
Registrant had no consultations with Deloitte & Touche regarding the
application of accounting principles to a specified transaction,
either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on the Registrant's financial statements. No
written reports were provided to the Registrant or oral advice
provided that Deloitte & Touche concluded was an important factor
considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to an
accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue. In addition,
there were no matters that were either the subject of disagreement
or a reportable event.
The engagement of Deloitte & Touche by the Parent Company is subject
to the approval of the shareholders of the Parent Company at the
next annual meeting of shareholders to be held later this year.
