Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On January 3, 2001 MISONIX, INC. (the "Registrant") notified Ernst & Young LLP
("E&Y"), the principal accountant engaged to audit the Registrant's financial
statements, that the Registrant would not retain E&Y to audit the Registrant's
financial statements for the current fiscal year.
E&Y's reports on the Registrant's financial statements for each of the past two
fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and
were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.
The Registrant's decision to change accountants was consented to by the
Registrant's Audit Committee.
During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim
period preceding dismissal there was no disagreement with E&Y on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
E&Y, would have caused E&Y to make a reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with its report.
On January 3, 2001, the Registrant engaged the accounting firm of KPMG, LLP as
the principal accountant to audit the Registrant's financial statements for the
current fiscal year.
Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(c)(1) Letter dated January 5, 2001 from Ernst & Young LLP to the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
