Item 4.  Change of Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

         On February 28, 2000, Ernst & Young, LLP, which acted as the
independent accountants to Rollerball International, Inc. (the "Company") with
respect to the fiscal years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, notified the
Company that it was resigning as the Company's independent accountants. The
resignation of Ernst & Young was not recommended and approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company or the audit committee of the Board of Directors. Ernst
& Young's resignation is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on
any matter of accounting principles or practice, financial statement disclosure
or auditing scope or procedure. Management of the Company has accepted the
resignation of Ernst & Young in order to significantly reduce the Company's
audit and income tax preparation costs. Management intends to recommend a new
accounting firm within the next several days.

         The reports of Ernst & Young on the Company's financial statements for
the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 did not contain an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In connection with the
audits of the Company's financial statements for each of the two fiscal years
and in the subsequent interim periods, there were no disagreements with Ernst &
Young on any matters of accounting principles, or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of Ernst & Young would have caused Ernst & Young to make reference
to the matter in their report.
