ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

           On May 6, 1997, Lancit Media  Entertainment,  Ltd. (the "Registrant")
dismissed the accounting  firm of Feldman Radin & Co., P.C.  ("F&R").  On May 7,
1997, the Registrant engaged the accounting firm of Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") to
be the  Registrant's  auditors for the current fiscal year,  which ends June 30,
1997.  The  Registrant's  Board of  Directors  approved  the  decision to change
accountants upon the recommendation of the Registrant's  Audit Committee.  Prior
to engaging E&Y, the  Registrant  has not consulted with E&Y with respect to any
accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.

           During  the  period  of   engagement   of  F&R  there  have  been  no
"disagreements"  between  the  Registrant  and F&R on any  matter of  accounting
principles or practices,  financial statement  disclosure,  or auditing scope or
procedure or any "reportable  events", as those terms are defined in Item 304 of
Regulation S-K.

           F&R's  reports on the financial  statements  for each of the past two
years did not contain an adverse  opinion or  disclaimer of opinion and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
