ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
As of September 23, 1998, Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent accountant
previously engaged as the principal accountant to audit the financial statements
of United Investors Growth Properties (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 Deloitte and Touche LLP 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.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS
(a) Financial statements of businesses acquired. - Not Applicable
(b) Pro forma financial information. - Not Applicable
(C) Letter dated October 1, 1998 from the registrant's former independent
accountant regarding its concurrence with the statements made by the
registrant in this current report.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
