      Not Applicable.

ITEM 3.   BANKRUPTCY OR RECEIVERSHIP

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.  CPA's 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.

      During the  Company's  transition  period from May 1, 1997 to December 31,
1997 and the two most recent fiscal years and subsequent  interim  periods,  for
which Millward & Co. CPA's were the Company's independent  auditors,  there were
no  disagreements  between the Company and Millward & Co. CPA's 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.  CPA's  would have  caused it to make  reference  to the  subject
matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.  Millward & Co. CPA's
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.  CPA's 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. CPA's 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. CPA's
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.  CPA's  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. CPA's a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange  Commission stating that it agrees with


                                       2
