ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On June 26, 1998, Escalon Medical Corp. (the "Company") and Ernst & Young
LLP, the Company's independent auditors, mutually agreed to terminate their
relationship. In connection with its audits for each of the two years in the
period ended June 30, 1997 and in the subsequent interim periods, there were no
disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matters of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope procedures which,
if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP, would have caused
Ernst & Young LLP to make reference to the matter in their report. Ernst &
Young's report on the Company's financial statements for each of the two years
in the period ended June 30, 1997 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion and was not modified or qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles.
The decision to change accountants was approved by the Audit Committee of
the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company has requested Ernst & Young
to furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission
stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter,
dated June 29, 1998, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.
