Item 3. Bankruptcy or Receivership
On February 12, 1998, Sun City Industries, Inc. (the "Company"), announced that
because the SeaSpecialties, Inc. merger between the companies has been
terminated, the Company and eight of its subsidiaries filed for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with the United States
Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Florida on February 2, 1998.
Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On February 6, 1998, Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte"), who had been engaged
by Sun City Industries (the "Company") as its principal independent
accountant, notified the Company that it has resigned from such engagement.
Deloitte's report in connection with Company's financial statements
for the fiscal year ended February 1, 1997, included an explanatory paragraph
concerning the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. During the
Company's two fiscal years ended February 1, 1997, and the subsequent
interim periods preceding Deloitte's resignation, there were no
disagreements with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would
have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements
in connection with its report.
