The decision to resign is based upon the fact that I have been named the Chief Operating Officer of the fourth largest medical service firm in Argentina. These duties will require that I leave for Buenos Aires effective April 27, 1997, and will require that I reside there permanently for a minimum of two years. As such, our firm will not be technically qualified in my absence to carry out the duties and performance of the necessary audit procedures and technical requirements with which the Securities and Exchange Commission (S.E.C.) requires and we feel obligated to offer to your firm. We will communicate with any potential successor firms in order to assist you in a rapid transition and to cause as little inefficiency as possible. We are aware that there are approximately forty days from the required filing date, and I have already begun communication with two potential successor firms, information which I have communicated to Ms. Ida Ovies, your Chief Financial Officer. We will make ourselves available to ensure a smooth transition in order to allow you to comply with all S.E.C. regulations and filings. I wish to emphasize that this decision is not based on any actions or information which we have obtained during the audit planning procedures and analytical tests that we have performed in order to prepare for this year s audit. In fact, we have received all information and have found satisfactory explanations for all matters which have come up during the course of our term of service. We wish to make it expressly known that there have been no technical disagreements or differences of opinion which in any way have caused us to resign. Ms. Ida Ovies has been informed of this decision and will prepare the necessary forms 8-K Disclosure for the S.E.C. of which this letter will become an attachment thereof. I again wish to emphasize it is with great deep regret which we are forced to take this action, and if we felt that there where any other alternative in order to make this transition a smoother one, we would certainly propose it. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience for ways in which we may assist this process along and aid in your procurement of a new auditing firm for Value Holdings, Inc. Sincerely, CHADDERTON GULISANO AND COMPANY, P.A. Certified Public Accountants By/s/ George A. Gulisano C.P.A.
