ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of Owens Financial Group, Inc.,
the General Partner of the registrant, held on April 28, 2000, the accounting
firm of Grant Thornton LLP was engaged by the General Partner to perform future
independent audits of the registrant. Grant Thornton LLP thereby replaced KPMG
LLP as the registrant's independent accountants.
In connection with the audits of the two years ended December 31, 1999,
and the subsequent interim period through April 28, 2000, there were no
disagreements with KPMG 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.
KPMG LLP's reports on the registrant's financial statements for the
past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion,
nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.
