Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants
Deloitte & Touche, LLP was previously the principal accountants for
Mountain States Guaranty Mortgage Company (the "Company"). On February 23,
1999, that firm's appointment as principal accountants was terminated and Hein
& Associates, LLP was engaged as principal accountants to audit the accounts of
the Company for the year ending December 31, 1998. The decision to change
accountants was recommended by the Board of Directors of the Company.
In connection with the audits of the fiscal years ended December 31,
1996 and December 31, 1997, there were no disagreements through February 23,
1999 with Deloitte & Touche, LLP on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures,
which disagreements, if not resolved to their satisfaction, would have caused
them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter
of the disagreement.
The audit reports of Deloitte & Touche, LLP on the consolidated
financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31,
1997 and December 31, 1996 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of
accounting principles.
