ITEM 4: Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
(a) Hirsch Silberstein & Subelsky, P.C. resigned as the independent accountants
for CompuSonics Video Corporation (the "Registrant") effective August 27, 1999.
In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended July 31, 1998 and
1997 and the subsequent interim period through August 27, 1999, there were no
disagreements with Hirsch Silberstein & Subelsky, P.C. on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction
would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to
the subject matter of the disagreement.
The audit reports of Hirsch Silberstein & Subelsky, P.C. on the financial
statements of the Registrant for the years ended July 31, 1998 and 1997, did
not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified
or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. The Independent
Auditor's Report stated that the Registrant's financial statements raised
substantial doubt about any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty. Please refer to the Registrant's Form 10-K for year ending
July 31, 1998.
The decision by Hirsch Silberstein & Subelsky, P.C. to resign was a result of
one of its members, Ronald N. Silberstein, leaving the firm to become Ajay
Sports, Inc.'s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer.
Following Mr. Silberstein's departure, the Registrant has been advised that the
firm will concentrate its practice of providing accounting related services to
individuals and privately held businesses.
(b) On August 27, 1999, the Registrant engaged the accounting firm of J.L.
Stephan Co., P.C. to act as its independent accounting firm, as successor to
Hirsch Silberstein & Subelsky, P.C. The Registrant has not consulted J.L.
Stephan Co., P.C. regarding any accounting principles or disagreements with its
former independent accountants.
