Item  4.  Changes  In and  Disagreements  With  Accountants  on  Accounting  and
Financial Disclosure

     (a)                   Arthur   Andersen   LLP  ("Arthur   Andersen"),   the
         independent public accountants  retained by Sundog  Technologies,  Inc.
         ("the  Company")  effective  August 3, 2000 for the  fiscal  year ended
         March 31, 2001,  were  dismissed as of September 26, 2000. The decision
         to change the Company's  independent public accountants was recommended
         by  management  and  approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.
         Because Arthur  Andersen had only recently been engaged by the Company,
         Arthur  Anderson did not complete an audit of the  Company's  financial
         statements for any period and did not issue any opinion with respect to
         any  financial  statements  of the  Company.  In  connection  with  the
         services  provided  by Arthur  Andersen to the  Company,  there were no
         disagreements   with  Arthur  Andersen  on  any  matter  of  accounting
         principles or practices,  financial statement  disclosure,  or auditing
         scope or  procedures,  which  disagreement  if not  resolved  to Arthur
         Andersen's  satisfaction  would have caused them to make  reference  in
         connection   with  their   opinion  to  the   subject   matter  of  the
         disagreement.

     (b)                   Pursuant to the  recommendation of management and the
         approval  of the  Board  of  Directors,  the  Company  has  decided  to
         re-appoint Mantyla  McReynolds,  a Professional  Corporation  ("Mantyla
         McReynolds") as the Company's  independent  public  accountants for the
         fiscal  year  ending  March  31,  2001.  The  Company  engaged  Mantyla
         McReynolds  effective  September 27, 2000.  Because Mantyla  McReynolds
         were the Company  independent  public  accountants for the fiscal years
         ended March 31, 2000 and March 31,  1999 and the interim  period  ended
         August  2,  2000,   the  Company   routinely   consulted  with  Mantyla
         McReynolds, as its then-current independent public accountants,  during
         such period  regarding the  application of accounting  principles,  the
         type of audit  opinion  that might be  rendered  and other  accounting,
         auditing or financial reporting issue during such periods.
