Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant On November 6, 2002, Circle Group Internet Inc. (the "Company") dismissed its certifying accountant firm McGladrey & Pullen LLP, as recommended by the audit committee of the Company's Board of Directors. The accountants' report on the financial statements for the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. During such fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods prior to November 6, 2002, , there were no disagreements with the former accounting firm on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial disclosure or auditing scope of procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to McGladrey & Pullen's satisfaction, would have caused McGladrey & Pullen to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with McGladrey & Pullen's reports. The Company engaged Spector & Wong, LLP as of such date. The Company will authorize the former accounting firm to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor accounting firm, if any. ITEM 7.
