ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
In December, 1999, Zydeco Energy, Inc. ("Zydeco") determined to replace
Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as its independent accountants to audit its
financial statements for economic reasons.
Andersen's reports on Zydeco's financial statements for the two most recent
fiscal years did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion;
however, the report included in the 1998 Form 10-K was modified to disclose
uncertainties regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The decision to change accountants was approved by Zydeco's Board of
Directors on December 31, 1999.
During Zydeco's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim
period preceding the change in accountants, there were no disagreements with
Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. The decision to change
accountants was based on the comparative cost of the audit services provided by
both firms.
Zydeco has engaged the firm of Hein + Associates LLP ("Hein") as of January
21, 2000. Hein was not consulted during the two most recent fiscal years or any
subsequent interim period on any matters relating to accounting principles or a
specific transaction, either completed or proposed.
