ITEM 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") notified Applied Voice Recognition, Inc. dba
e-DOCS.net (the "Company") that they are declining to stand for re-election as
the Company's independent certifying accountant.
The report of E&Y on the Company's financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1998, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer
of opinion, nor was the opinion qualified or modified as to audit scope or
accounting principles. The opinion on the financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 1998 included an explanatory paragraph describing the
Company's financial condition and issues related to the uncertainty as to the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company and E&Y had no
disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has instructed management to begin
interviewing independent public accounts for the purpose of assisting the Audit
Committee in identifying a replacement accountant. The Audit Committee intends
to complete this process within the next several weeks.
