ITEM 4.   CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS

      The accounting firm of Millward & Co. CPAs represented  Universal Heights,
Inc. (the "Company") as its independent accountants during the transition period
from May 1, 1997 to December  31, 1997 and each of the two fiscal  years  ending
April 30, 1997 and April 27, 1996.  The Board of Directors of the Company,  upon
recommendation  of its Audit  Committee,  has unanimously  determined to dismiss
Millward  & Co.  CPAs and to appoint  Deloitte  & Touche  LLP as the  Company's
independent  accountants  to audit the Company's  financial  statements for 1998
effective as of February 8, 1999.

   
      For the  transition  period from May 1, 1997 to December  31, 1997 and the
two most recent fiscal years and subsequent  interim periods through February 8,
1999,  during  which time  Millward  & Co.  CPAs was the  Company's  independent
auditor, there were no disagreements between the Company and Millward & Co. CPAs
on any  matter  of  accounting  principles  or  practices,  financial  statement
disclosure,  or  auditing  scope  or  procedures,  which  disagreements,  if not
resolved to the satisfaction of Millward & Co. CPAs would have caused it to make
reference  to the subject  matter of the  disagreement  in  connection  with its
reports.  Millward  & Co.  CPAs  report  dated  March 6,  1998 on the  financial
statements of the Company for the transition period from May 1, 1997 to December
31, 1997 and the two most recent fiscal years, for which Millward & Co. CPAs was
the  Company's  independent  auditors,  did not  contain an  adverse  opinion or
disclaimer  of opinion,  and were not  qualified or modified as to  uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principles.

      Millward & Co. CPAs did not report to the Company any material weakness in
connection  with their  audits of the  Company's  financial  statements  for the
transition  period from May 1, 1997 to December 31, 1997 and the two most recent
fiscal years  ending April 30, 1997 and April 27, 1996,  and Millward & Co. CPAs
audit reports concerning the Company's  financial  statements for the transition
period  from May 1, 1997 to December  31,  1997 and the two most  recent  fiscal
years ending April 30, 1997 and April 27, 1996 contained an unqualified opinion.
The Company has authorized Millward & Co. CPAs to respond fully to the inquiries
of Deloitte & Touche LLP concerning all such matters.
    

      During the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period,
there  have been no  "reportable  events"  as  defined  in  Regulation  S-B Item
304(a)(1)(iv) for Universal Heights, Inc.

   
      The Company  requested  and  received  from  Millward & Co. CPAs a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange  Commission stating that it agrees with
