Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Account
a. On May 2, 1996, notice was received that effective April 30, 1996, Jay
J. Shapiro, CPA ("Shapiro"), resigned as certifying accountant for Pacific Rim
Entertainment, Inc. ("PRE"). Shapiro's report on PRE's financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 1994, which was the only fiscal year during which
Shapiro was the certifying accountant for PRE, and all subsequent interim
periods preceding the date hereof contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, and was not qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.
During the most recent fiscal year, which was the only fiscal year
during which Shapiro was the certifying accountant for PRE, and all subsequent
interim periods preceding the date hereof, there were no disagreements between
PRE and Shapiro on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure, which disagreements, if
not resolved to the satisfaction of Shapiro, would have caused it to make a
reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its
reports.
None of the "reportable events" described in Item 304(a)(1)(ii)
occurred with respect to PRE within the most recent fiscal year end and the
subsequent interim periods to the date hereof.
b. As of the date of this filing, due to the lack of sufficient funds, PRE
has not engaged an independent auditor to replace Shapiro.
