Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

      On March 5, 1998, Consolidated Eco-Systems, Inc. was notified that Moore
Stephens Frost would no longer continue to serve as its independent auditors for
the year ended December 31, 1997. Moore Stephens Frost has declined to provide
future services due to an outstanding statement for services arising from a
billing dispute with Consolidated Eco-Systems, Inc.

      Consolidated Eco-Systems, Inc. was provided with total billings from Moore
Stephens Frost for the year ended December 31, 1997 of approximately $440,000. A
billing dispute existed with Moore Stephens Frost regarding the bill.
Consolidated Eco-Systems, Inc. believed that the reasonable value of services
provided by Moore Stephens Frost for the year ended December 31, 1997 was
substantially less than this amount.

      The billing dispute necessitated a change in auditors, as identified
below. The billing dispute has now been resolved. Consolidated Eco-Systems, Inc.
has agreed to pay the total sum of $275,000 for services provided by Moore
Stephens Frost in 1997 and $15,000 for services provided in 1998, according to
terms arranged with Moore Stephens Frost.

      Through March 5, 1998, no dispute exists with Moore Stephens Frost
regarding accounting principles or practices, auditing scope or procedure, or
which would have caused Moore Stephens Frost to make references to the
disagreement in its report, except for the matter of the billing dispute and
unpaid bill pending resolution of the dispute.

      The report of Moore Stephens Frost, and its predecessor Cooper, Shuffield
& Company, for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and was not modified as to uncertainty.

      On March 6, 1998, Consolidated Eco-Systems, Inc. retained Leek &
Associates of 10411 West Markham, Suite 110, Little Rock, Arkansas 72205 as its
independent auditor for the year ended December 31, 1997. The change was
recommended by the board of directors of Consolidated EcoSystems, Inc.
