ITEM 4.
Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On May 7, 1999, Vianet Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") with the approval
of the Company's Board of Directors appointed the firm of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP
("KPMG") as the new auditors for the Company effective immediately and
discharged the Company's current auditors, Smith and Company.
The replacement of Smith & Company was not as a result of any disagreement
with the Registrant but simply as a result of the recent change of control of
the Registrant. None of the principal accountant's report on the financial
statements of the Registrant has contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of
opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles.
During the preceding two years and any subsequent interim period preceding
their dismissal, the Registrant had no disagreements with the principal
accountants 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 the principal accountants, would have caused
it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection
with its report.
ITEM 7.
Exhibits:
Letter from Smith and Company dated May 10, 1999 regarding the change in
certified accountants.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on
its behalf by the Undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
