Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
KPMG LLP was previously the principal accountants for Information
Resource Engineering, Inc. (the "Company"). On June 19, 2000 KPMG LLP's
appointment as principal accountants was terminated. At a meeting held on June
19, 2000, the Audit Committee of the Board recommended and the Board of
Directors of the Company approved the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP as its
independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000 to replace the
firm of KPMG LLP as auditors of the Company effective June19, 2000. The audit
reports of KPMG LLP on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the
past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of
opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for
each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, and in the subsequent
interim period through June 19, 2000, there were no disagreements with KPMG LLP
on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statements
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of KPMG LLP would have caused KPMG LLP to make reference to the
matter in their report. The Company has requested KPMG LLP to furnish it a
letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above
statement. A copy of that letter dated June 20, 2000 is filed as Exhibit 1 to
this Form 8-K.
