Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
Effective March 31, 1999, NumereX Corp. (the "Company") dismissed
Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's independent accountants. The decision to
dismiss Deloitte & Touche LLP was recommended by the Audit Committee and
approved by the Board of Directors. No report on the financial statements of the
Company by Deloitte & Touche LLP contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles during either of the past two fiscal years or any
subsequent period through March 31, 1999.
In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and
through March 31, 1999, there have been no disagreements between the Company and
Deloitte & Touche LLP 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 Deloitte & Touche LLP would
have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial
statements for those years.
Also effective March 31, 1999, the Board of Directors selected the
accounting firm of Grant Thornton LLP as independent public accountants for the
Company based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee.
