ITEM 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
This Form 8-K/A is filed to amend the Form 8-K filed by CinemaStar
Luxury Theatres, Inc. (the "Registrant") on January 19, 2001. Items 4(a)(iv) and
(v) have been amended to include the interim period through January 3, 2001.
(a) Previous independent accountants.
(i) On January 3, 2001, the independent accountants for the
Registrant, Arthur Andersen LLP, were dismissed.
(ii) The reports of Arthur Andersen LLP on the financial statements
for the past two fiscal years contain no adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles, with the exception of the auditors' report
covering the Registrant's financial statements included in the
Registrant's Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2000,
which contained a modification regarding the Registrant's
ability to continue as a going concern.
(iii) The Registrant's Audit Committee participated in and approved
the decision to change independent accountants.
(iv) In connection with the audits for the two most recent fiscal
years and through January 3, 2001, there have been no
disagreements with Arthur Andersen 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 Arthur
Andersen LLP would have caused them to make reference thereto
in their report on the financial statements for such years.
(v) During the two most recent fiscal years and through January 3,
2001, there have been no reportable events as defined in
Regulation S-B Item 304(a)(1)(iv).
(vi) The Registrant has requested that Arthur Andersen LLP furnish
it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not
it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter,
dated January 30, 2001, is filed as Exhibit 16 of this Form
8-K/A.
