ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

         On June 25, 1997, Grant Thornton LLP ("Grant") resigned as the
independent public accountant for KnowledgeBroker, Inc. (the "Company"). In its
letter giving notice of its resignation, Grant stated that the Company lacked
an adequate control environment, rendering Grant unable to complete an audit of
the Company's financial statements. Grant did not disclose in its letter of
resignation the specific controls which it found lacking. The Company requested
additional information from Grant regarding this statement.

         Through subsequent communication, Grant has noted the following
concerns:

         (a) Grant noted that sales in amounts material to the financial
             statements were recorded at or near year end when those 
             amounts should have been deferred to future years. Grant 
             also noted that management of the Company stated that the 
             Company has followed the same revenue recognition policy in 
             previous years.
         
         (b) Grant noted that certain liabilities related to settlement
             of litigation and other matters were not recorded in the 
             financial statements.
         
         (c) Grant noted that reconciliations of certain general ledger
             accounts often resulted in recording material adjustments to
             the Company's financial records.
         
         The foregoing issues raised by Grant have been discussed by the Board
of Directors of the Company, and the Company has authorized Grant to respond
fully to inquiries from any successor accountant for the Company concerning the
concerns raised by Grant.

         Grant never prepared a report for the Company; therefore, no report of
Grant for the Company has contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of
opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles. There have been no disagreements between Grant and the
Company as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or events of the
kind set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, other than that
described above.

         The Company provided Grant with the above disclosures prior to filing
this Form 8-K/A with the Commission. Grant's response to those disclosures is
attached hereto.
