ITEM 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
--------------------------------------------
On December 5, 1996, Cayer Prescott Clune & Chatellier ("Cayer
Prescott") declined to stand for reelection as the independant auditor of Orbis,
Inc., the predecessor of Industrial Imaging Corporation (the "Company").
There were no disagreements between the Company and Cayer Prescott
regarding any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope or procedures in connection with the audit of each
of the Company's fiscal years ending March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, or at
any time through December 5, 1996, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Cayer Prescott, would have caused Cayer Prescott to make reference to the
subject matter of such disagreement in connection with its report. There have
been no reportable events (as defined by Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v))
during the fiscal years ending March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, or at any time
through December 5, 1996. In addition, the Company has not engaged another
accountant to consult concerning the application of accounting principles to a
specified transaction.
The report of Cayer Prescott upon the Company's financial statements
for each of the Company's fiscal years ending March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996,
contained neither an adverse opinion nor a disclaimer of opinion nor was such a
report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.
At a special meeting of shareholders, dated December 5, 1996, the
Company's shareholders ratified the appointment of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. as
the independent auditors for the Company.
The Company has requested that Cayer Prescott furnish it with a letter
addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statement.
A copy of such letter, dated December 10, 1996 is filed as an Exhibit to this
form 8-K.
