ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
By letter dated April 11, 2003, KPMG LLP notified Synergy Technologies
Corporation (the "Company") that it discontinued serving as the Company's
independent accountant, effective immediately, because the Company no longer
conducts any operations in Canada.
On April 8, 2003, Geoffrey Albers, an individual seeking to acquire a
controlling interest in the Company upon confirmation of a Plan of
Reorganization by the United States Bankruptcy Court hearing the Company's
petition under the federal Bankruptcy Code, engaged Demetrius & Company, L.L.C.
as the independent accountant to audit the Company's financial statements for
the period ended December 31, 2002 and to review the quarters ended March 31,
2003 and ending June 30, 2003.
The KPMG LLP reports on the Company's financial statements for years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, being the last two fiscal years during which
it served as the Company's independent accountant, contained no adverse opinion
or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles; however, KPMG LLP did modify its opinion
due to going concern uncertainties.
During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
subsequent interim period through April 11, 2003, there were no disagreements
with KPMG LLP 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 KPMG LLP, would have caused KPMG LLP to make
reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such years.
During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the
subsequent interim period through April 11, 2003, there were no reportable
events [as defined in Regulation S-B Item 304(a)(1)(iv)].
During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the
subsequent interim period through April 11, 2003, neither Mr. Albers, the
Company nor anyone acting on their behalf, have consulted with Demetrius &
Company, L.L.C. regarding (i) either the application of accounting principles to
a specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit
opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, or (ii)
any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is
defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B and the related instructions to
Item 304 of Regulation S-B, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in
Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
The Company has asked KPMG LLP to furnish the Company with a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether KPMG LLP
agrees with the above statements.
