ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
As of October 20, 1998, Reznick Fedder & Silverman, the independent accountant
previously engaged as the principal accountant to audit the financial statements
of Riverside Park Associates Limited Partnership (the "Registrant" or the
"Partnership") was dismissed. As of the same date, the firm of KPMG Peat
Marwick LLP was engaged to provide that service for the Registrant.
The audit reports of Reznick Fedder & Silverman on the financial statements of
the Partnership as of and for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, did
not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
The decision to change accountants was approved by the board of directors of the
general partner of the Partnership on September 23, 1998.
During the Partnership's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim
period preceding the change, there were no disagreements with the former
accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if
not resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountant, would have caused it
to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with
its report.
The Registrant has provided a copy of this disclosure to the former accountant,
and the Registrant requested that the former accountant furnish the Registrant
with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating
whether it agrees with the statements made by the Registrant, and, if not,
stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the former
accountant's response indicating agreement is included as an exhibit to this
report.
