Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

     (a)(i) On December 23, 1998, Prime Cellular, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed
Marcum & Kliegman, LLP ("M&K") as its principal independent accountant.

     (ii) M&K's report on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal
year ended May 31, 1997 (the only such  report  given to the Company by M&K) did
not contain an adverse  opinion or  disclaimer  of opinion,  nor was such report
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

     (iii) The  decision to change  accountants  was  approved by the  Company's
Board of Directors.

     (iv)-(v) There were no  disagreements  with M&K on any matter of accounting
principles or practices,  financial  statement  disclosure or auditing  scope or
procedure,  which, if not resolved to M&K's satisfaction,  would have caused M&K
to make reference to the subject matter of the  disagreement  in connection with
its report.

     (b) On December 23, 1998,  the Company  engaged  Raich Ende Malter Lerner &
Co. ("Raich Ende") as its principal  independent  accountants who will audit and
report on the  financial  statements  of the  Company for the fiscal year ending
December 31,  1998.  (As reported in the  Company's  Current  Report on Form 8-K
related to the merger (the  "Merger") of a subsidiary of the Company into Cell &
Molecular Technologies, Inc. ("CMT"), in connection with the Merger, the Company
adopted the fiscal  year of CMT,  which is a calendar  year).  Prior to engaging
Raich Ende, neither the Company,  nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with
Raich Ende regarding the  application  of accounting  principles to any specific
transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's
financial statements.

Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

     (c). Exhibits.

     16.  Letter from  Marcum & Kliegman,  LLP  regarding  change in  certifying
accountant (to be filed by amendment).
