Item 4.  Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountants

(a)  Previous independent accountants

    (i)   On March  4, 1999, Safe Technologies International, Inc. (the
          "Company") decided that it was in its best interest to retain an
          accounting firm that was based in South Florida.  On March 4, 1999,
          the Company dismissed Scott & Guilfoyle, P.A., its independent
          accountants, who are based in Lake Success, New York.  The 
          Company's decision to change accountants was based solely on
          the decision to have a local accounting firm and was not at all
          related to the quality of Scott & Guilfoyle's work or any
          disagreements with such firm. 

    (ii)  The reports of Scott & Guilfoyle on the financial statements for
          the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or
          disclaimer of opinion.

    (iii) The Company's Board of Directors participated in and approved
          the decision to change independent accountants at a Board meeting
          held on March 3, 1999.

    (iv)  In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal
          years ending November 30 1997 and November 30 1998 and 
          through March 4, 1999, there have been no disagreements with
          Scott & Guilfoyle 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 Scott & Guilfoyle would have caused them to
          make reference thereto in their report on the financial statement
          for such years.  

    (v)   The Company has requested that Scott & Guilfoyle furnish it
          with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it
          agrees with the above statements.  A copy of such letter dated
          March 5, 1999 is filed as Exhibit 1 to the Form 8-K.


(b)  New independent accountants

    (i)   The Company engaged Sewell and Company, P.A. ("Sewell") as its
          new independent accountants as of March  4, 1999.  Sewell has
          offices in Hollywood, Florida and Pembroke Pines, Florida.
          Prior to the engagement, the Company did not consult with Sewell
          about the application of accounting principles to a specific
          completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit
          opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial
          statements or ask Sewell to provide any written or oral advice
          that was an important factor that the Company considered in
          reaching decisions as to the accounting, auditing or financial
          reporting issues.
