Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On April 6, 2000, THCG, Inc. ("THCG") dismissed Richard A. Eisner &
Company, LLP ("Eisner & Company") as its independent auditors.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors recommended and the
Executive Committee of the Board of Directors approved a change in independent
auditors and selected Arthur Andersen LLP as independent auditors to audit the
financial statements of THCG for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000,
subject to ratification by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting.
Eisner & Company served as independent auditors of THCG for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 1999. Eisner & Company's report on THCG's financial
statements for the last fiscal year did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, nor were any such reports qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there have been no
disagreements with Eisner & Company on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which
disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of such auditors, would have
caused such auditors to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement(s) in connection with their report thereon during THCG's most
recent fiscal year.
