ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS
On December 29, 1998, MPM Technologies, Inc. (the "Registrant" or the
"Company") was notified by the Registrant's independent accountant, Terrence J.
Dunne, CPA, ("Mr. Dunne") that he was resigning his position as the
Registrant's independent accountant effectively immediately and would no longer
provide audit or other accounting services for the Company.
Mr. Dunne's decision to resign from the position of the Registrant's acting
independent auditor was a mutually agreeable decision between the Registrant
and Mr. Dunne to discontinue their relationship, which resulted in Mr. Dunne
submitting a resignation letter to the Company, that was received on December
29, 1998. The Company proceeded to solicit a formal proposal from BDO Seidman,
LLP due to BDO's reputation and expertise in the environmental industry.
During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period prior
to December 29, 1998, there have been no disagreements with Mr. Dunne on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure,
or auditing scope or procedure or any reportable events. Mr. Dunne's report on
the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the past two years was
that of an unqualified opinion.
The Registrant provided the above disclosure to Mr. Dunne and requested that he
furnish the Company with a letter stating whether he agreed with the above
statements. A copy of Mr. Dunne's letter in response to this request is
attached as an exhibit to this report.
The Company engaged the firm BDO effective December 31, 1998. During the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company did not consult with BDO
regarding: (i). The application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction; (ii) the type of opinion that might be rendered on the Company's
financial statements; or (iii) any matter that was the subject of a
disagreement with the Company's former accountant or a reportable event (as
contemplated by Item 304 of Regulation S-B).

Dear Charlie:
During this year, I have decided to discontinue all auditing work. Therefore,
I am writing to inform you of my resignation as the independent certified
public accountant of MPM Technologies, Inc. effective immediately. There were
no disagreements between MPM Technologies and me in regard to auditing
procedures or standares, or accounting principles. I have enjoyed working with
you and the other individuals involved with your company, and I wish you
continued future success.
Sincerely,
/s/Terry Dunne
