Item 4. Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
On May 14, 2002, Grant Thornton LLP (Grant Thornton) notified the Company that it had resigned as the Companys certifying accountant. Since Grant Thornton was engaged on April 18, 2002, it did not prepare a report on the Companys financial statements for either of the last two years. Therefore, no report was issued by Grant Thornton that could contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or a qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. Between April 18, 2002 and May 14, 2002, there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. Grant Thornton advised the Company that its decision to resign was caused by its resignation as auditor for the Companys majority shareholder, Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (ADS), as described in any Form 8-K filed by ADS on this matter.
