                      INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT



         The Registrant Good Ideas Enterprises, Inc. is referred to herein as
"Good Ideas." U.S. Alcohol Testing of America, Inc. ("USAT"), the majority
stockholder of Good Ideas, with 60.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock
as of July 31, 1996, has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to register shares of the common stock of
USAT to be issued to the minority stockholders of Good Ideas upon the
consummation of a merger of a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of USAT with
and in to Good Ideas.


ITEM 4.           CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

         (a) On November 3, 1995, Good Ideas named Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") as
its new independent auditors for fiscal 1996 instead of Wolinetz, Gottlieb &
Lafazan, P.C. ("Wolinetz"), which firm had served as Good Ideas' independent
auditors since Good Ideas was acquired by USAT. The USAT Board of Directors,
which authorized the change on November 1, 1995, indicated that, in making the
similar replacement for USAT, the directors were not acting because of any
criticism of, or dispute with, Wolinetz, but because they concluded that, at
this stage of development for USAT and its subsidiaries, including Good Ideas,
the selection of a national firm like E&Y was in everyone's best interests.
Because of USAT's stock ownership, the Good Ideas Board on the same dates
concluded that it was not advisable for Good Ideas to have separate auditors
from USAT.

         The reports of Wolinetz on the financial statements of Good Ideas for
fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1995 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer
of opinion, nor was either report qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles. There had been no disagreements between Good Ideas and
Wolinetz in fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1995 and any subsequent interim period
preceding the engagement of E&Y as the principal auditors on any matter of
accounting principles or practice, financial statement disclosure, auditing
scope or procedures.

         Wolinetz is filing a letter to the Commission stating that it agrees
with the above statements.

         Good Ideas did not consult E&Y, prior to its engagement, regarding the
application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either
completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on
Good Ideas's financial statements. Nor was a written report or oral advice
provided to Good Ideas that E&Y concluded was an important factor considered

by Good Ideas in reaching a decision to an accounting, auditing or financial 
reporting issue.
