ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Since May 25, 1999, Merilus, Inc.'s (the "Company") principal accountant has been Andersen Andersen & Strong, L.C. of Salt Lake City, Utah. Effective February 28, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the change of accountants. On February 28, 2001, management of the Company dismissed Andersen Andersen & Strong, L.C. and engaged KPMG, LLC of Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada, as its independent public accountants to audit its financial statements formerly audited by Andersen Andersen & Strong, L.C.
The Company believes, and has been advised by Andersen Andersen & Strong, L.C. that it concurs with such belief, that, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, and in the subsequent periods through the date of dismissal, the Company and Andersen Andersen & Strong, L.C. did not have any disagreement 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 Andersen Andersen & Strong, L.C. would have caused it to make reference in connection with its report on the Company's financial statements to the subject matter of the disagreement. The report of Andersen Andersen & Strong, L.C. on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, but did contain a qualification that the financial statements were prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern.
The Company has requested that Andersen Andersen & Strong, L.C. furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether Andersen Andersen & Strong, L.C. agrees with the above statements.
