Item 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS
On April 7, 1999, the Board of Director's Audit Committee approved to (i) engage
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent accountants for Applied Imaging
Corp. and (ii) dismiss KPMG LLP as such independent accountants.
During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1998 and
the subsequent interim period through April 7, 1999, (i) there were no
disagreements with KPMG LLP on any matter on accounting principles, which
disagreements if not resolved to its satisfaction would have caused it to make
reference in connection with its report to the subject matter of the
disagreement, and (ii) KPMG LLP has not advised the registrant of any event
specified in paragraphs (A) through (D) of Regulation S-K Item 304 (a) (1) (V).
The accountants' report of KPMG LLP on the consolidated financial statements of
Applied Imaging Corp. and subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December
31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer
of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
