ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On September 4, 1998, the Board of Directors of Registrant
approved the appointment of Keiter, Stephens, Hurst, Gary & Shreaves, P.C.
("Principal Accountant") as the Registrant's independent auditors. For the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, the Principal Accountants had served as
independent auditors for Star Tobacco and Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the accounting
acquirer in the reverse acquisition of the Registrant. Registrant had not,
prior to such engagement, consulted the Principal Accountant regarding any
financial statement matters, or otherwise, of Registrant.
Registrant has provided the Principal Accountant with a copy of
the disclosures being reported in this report on Form 8-K prior to its filing
with the Commission. The Principal Accountant had no additional information or
comments to address to the Commission in response to this item.
Prior to the engagement of the Principal Accountants, on March 5,
1998, the Company had engaged Olsen, Thielen & Co., Ltd. ("Former Auditors") as
its independent auditors to audit its financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1997. There have been no disagreements
between the Company and the Former Auditors on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to their satisfaction, would
have caused such firm to make reference in connection with its opinions to the
subject matter of the disagreement.
Registrant has provided the Former Auditors with a copy of the
disclosures being reported in this report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with
the Commission. A copy of the Former Auditors' letter response to this item is
attached as an exhibit to this report.
ITEM 7. (c) Exhibits.
The exhibits filed as a part of this report are listed on the
