ITEM 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On December 16, 1999, Exten Industries, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed
J.H. Cohn, LLP (the "Former Auditor") as its independent auditor. The Former
Auditor's audit reports on the Company's financial statements for the years
ended November 30, 1998 and 1997 were included in the Company's Form 10-KSB,
which was filed on April 1, 1999. Neither of the audit reports contained an
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principals.
The decision to dismiss the Former Auditor was approved by the Company's
Board of Directors. Consequently, following the approval of its Board of
Directors, the Company informed the Former Auditor that the Company was
dismissing the Former Auditor. On January 14, 2000, the Company engaged as its
new independent auditor Logan Throop & Co. (the "New Auditor") to audit the
Company's financial statements for the years ended November 30, 1999 and 1998.
There were no disagreements between the Company and the Former Auditor on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or auditing, scope, or procedure. Prior to the engagement of the New
Auditor, there were no consultations between the Company and the New Auditor
relating to disclosable disagreements with the Former Auditor, how accounting
principles would be applied by the New Auditor to a specific transaction, or
the type of an opinion the New Auditor might render.
