PART III - Narrative
The Company is in the process of appointing new auditors to audit the
financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2000. The Company's previous
auditors, Andersen, Andersen & Strong ("AAS"), have indicated that they are
unable to complete the audit for the year because one of the two partners of
the firm, who would be the concurring partner, has taken a leave of absence
from the firm for health reasons, and will not return for a lengthy period.
The Company has selected a new auditing firm, sent the necessary financial
information to the new firm and the Company believes this accounting firm is
in the process of completing the audit. It is anticipated all required
information will be obtained, and the financial statements completed, on or
about July 14, 2000. The Company expects that the audited financial
statements and Form 10-KSB will be completed shortly thereafter for a filing
on or before July 14, 2000. The change in auditors described above has not
been a result of any disagreements between the Company and AAS on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or
auditing scope or procedures.

Dear Mr. Lewis:
We have acted as the auditors for Auric Metals Corporation (the
"Company"), for the past several years, and were in the process of preparing
the audit for the year ended March 31, 2000. However, we have recently
informed the Company that our firm will be unable to complete the audit for
the year because one of the two partners in our firm, who would be the
concurring partner, has taken a leave of absence from the firm for health
reasons, and will not return for a lengthy period. It is my understanding
that, as a result of the Company being informed of this firm's situation, the
Company has selected a new auditing firm and is in the process of having the
audit prepared. This firm's decision was not a result of any disagreements
between the Company and our firm on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures.
Because Auric Metals Corporation is required to file a Form 10-KSB with
the SEC by the end of June 2000, we are requesting that you file the necessary
forms to extend the filing due date for an additional 15 days. Please call us
if there are any problems in getting the extension. We appreciate your
attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
ANDERSEN, ANDERSEN & STRONG, LC
