ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On February 6, 1998, Bayhawk Ales, Inc., (the "Company") dismissed Price
Waterhouse LLP as its principal accountants and engaged Cacciamatta Accountancy
Corporation as its new principal accountants. The decision to dismiss this
accounting firm was approved by the Company's Board of Directors. There were no
adverse opinions, disclaimers of opinion or qualifications as to uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principles in the reports of Price Waterhouse LLP on
the Company's financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years
preceding their dismissal. Through the date of the change in accountants, there
were no disagreements with Price Waterhouse LLP on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or audit scope or
procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of such
accountants, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of
the disagreement in connection with their reports.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Security and Exchange Commission, the
Registrant has duly caused this statement to be signed on behalf by the
undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
