ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
         ---------------------------------------------

          On July 17, 2001, Paladyne Corp. (the Company) received the letter of
resignation of BDO Seidman, LLP announcing that they were resigning as the
independent accountants for Paladyne Corp.

          The independent accountants' report on the financial statements for
either of the past two years did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer
of opinion, and was not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles.

          The resignation was not recommended or approved by either the Audit
Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company.

          There were no disagreements with the former accountant on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the former accountant's
satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of
the disagreement in connection with its report.

          The Company has commenced a search to retain a new independent
accountant. Upon this new retention, the Company will file a Form 8-K to report
upon the retention.
