ITEM 4.     CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

     In conjunction with a pending acquisition,  the independent accountants who
previously audited the Registrant's financial statements,  Mengel, Metzger, Barr
& Co.  LLP have  been  dismissed  by vote of the Board of  Directors,  effective
September 18, 1996.  The prior  accountants  report on financial  statements for
either of the past two years did not contain an adverse  opinion or a disclaimer
of opinion;  nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty,  audit scope or
accounting principles.  During the registrant's two most recent fiscal years and
the subsequent interim periods preceding the dismissal of Mengel,  Metzger, Barr
& Co. LLP.,  there were no  disagreements  between the Registrant and the former
accountant  on any  matters of  accounting  principals  or  practice,  financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope of procedure, which disagreement,  if not
resolved to the  satisfaction of the former  accountant  would have caused it to
make reference to the subject matter of the  disagreement in connection with its
report. Furthermore there are no unresolved issues with the prior accountants.

     The Board of Directors of the  Registrant  appointed  H.J. Swart & Company,
P.A., of  Kissimmee,  Florida as the  Registrant's  new  certifying  accountants
effective  September  18, 1996.  H.J.  Swart was not  consulted  concerning  the
application  of  accounting  principals  to  any  specific  transaction,  either
completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the
registrant's  financial  statements,  nor was a written  report  provided to the
Registrant  nor oral  advise  given by the new  accountant  regarding  important
factors  considered  by  the  Registrant  in  reaching  its  decision  as to any
accounting,  auditing or financial  reporting issue.  Furthermore  there were no
matters that were the subject of any disagreement.

Gentlemen:

We were previously  principal  accountants  for Captain Tony's Pizza,  Inc. and,
under the date of July 18,  1996,  we  reported  on the  consolidated  financial
statements of Captain Tony's Pizza,  Inc. and  Subsidiary  (except for Note J to
those financial statements,  as to which the date was August 2, 1996) as of June
30, 1996 and 1995 and for each of the three  years in the period  ended June 30,
1996. It is our understanding that Captain Tony's Pizza, Inc. merged into Am-Pac
International,  Inc.,  effective  September 18, 1996. On September 18, 1996, our
appointment  as  principal  accountants  was  terminated.  We have  read  Am-Pac
International,  Inc.'s  statements  included  under Item 4 of its Form 8-K dated
January 15, 1997,  and agree with such  statements,  except that we are not in a
position to agree or disagree with Am-Pac International,  Inc.'s statements that
the decision to change accountants was approved by the Board of Directors,  that
H. J. Swart & Company,  P. A. was retained as its now certifying  accountants or
that during the last three fiscal years and the subsequent interim period to the
date hereof, Am-Pac  International,  Inc. did not consult H. J. Swart & Company,
P. A.  regarding  any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304 (s) (2) (i)
and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

                                       Very truly yours,

                                       MENGEL, METZGER, BARR & CO. LLP


                                       /s/ Thomas L. Wolf
