ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS
Effective March 8, 2002, the Audit Committee of Chromatics Color
Sciences International, Inc. (the "Company") appointed Richard A. Eisner &
Company, LLP as its independent auditors to replace BDO Seidman, LLP, as BDO
Seidman, LLP declined to be reappointed as the Company's independent auditors
because the Company does not currently meet its client profile.
BDO Seidman, LLP's reports on the Company's financial statements for
the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion, or
qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles, except the report contained a going concern explanatory paragraph.
During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim
period preceding March 8, 2002, there have been no disagreements with BDO
Seidman, LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to
the satisfaction of BDO Seidman, LLP, would have caused it to make reference to
the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.
The Company has requested BDO Seidman, LLP to furnish a letter
addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements.
BDO Seidman, LLP has furnished such letter attached hereto as Exhibit 16.
The Company (or someone on its behalf) has not consulted Richard A.
Eisner & Company, LLP during the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent
interim period preceding March 8, 2002 regarding the application of accounting
principles to a specified transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be
rendered on the Company's financial statements.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf
