Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
         ---------------------------------------------
         (a) On September 3, 1999, Entertainment Technologies & Programs, Inc.
             (the "Company") was notified by Brian S. Nathanson, CPA ("Brian S.
             Nathanson") that he would not be continuing as the Company's
             independent accountant. The Company has engaged Ham, Langston &
             Brezina, L. L. P. ("Ham, Langston & Brezina") as its new
             independent accountants effective immediately. The decision to
             change the Company's independent accountants was recommended and
             approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
         (b) Brian S. Nathanson's reports on the Company's consolidated
             financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
             and the year ended December 31, 1997, respectively, did not contain
             an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports
             qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit cope, or accounting
             principles.
         (c) During the Company's two fiscal years ended September 30, 1998 and
             the subsequent interim period preceding the decision to change
             independent accountants, there were no disagreements with Brian S.
             Nathanson on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
             financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
             which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Brian
             S. Nathanson, would have caused it to make a reference to the
             subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its
             reports covering such periods.
         (d) During the Company's two fiscal years ended September 30, 1998 and
             the subsequent interim period preceding the decision to change
             independent accountants, there were no "reportable events"
             (hereinafter defined) requiring disclosure pursuant to Section
             229.304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. As used herein, the term
             "reportable event" means any of the items listed in paragraphs
             (a)(1)(v)(A)-(D) of Section 304 of Regulation S-K.
         (e) Effective September 28, 1999, the Company engaged Ham, Langston &
             Brezina as its independent accountants. During the two fiscal years
             ended September 30, 1998 and the subsequent interim period
             preceding the decision to change independent accountants, neither
             the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Ham, Langston &
             Brezina regarding either the application of accounting principles
             to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the
             type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's
             consolidated financial statements, nor has Ham, Langston, & Brezina
             provided to the Company a written report or oral advice regarding
             such principles or audit opinion.
