Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On January 9, 2002, MISONIX, INC. (the "Registrant") notified KPMG LLP ("KPMG"),
the principal accountant engaged to audit the Registrant's financial statements,
that the Registrant would not retain KPMG to audit the Registrant's financial
statements for the current fiscal year.
KPMG's report on the Registrant's financial statements for the last fiscal year
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 most recent fiscal year and the subsequent interim
period preceding dismissal there was no disagreement with KPMG 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
KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make a reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with its report.
On January 14, 2002, the Registrant engaged the accounting firm of Ernst & Young
LLP as the principal accountant to audit the Registrant's financial statements
for the current fiscal year.
Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
