ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
(a) On April 27, 1998, with the approval of the audit committee, Nord
Pacific Limited (the "Company") terminated its relationship with
Deloitte & Touche ("D&T"), independent certified public accountants.
The reports of D&T for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
contained no adverse opinions, disclaimers of opinion or qualified or
modified opinions as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principals.
During the two year period ended December 31, 1997, and the interim
period from that date to April 27, 1998, there were no disagreements
with D&T on any matter of accounting principals or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement,
if not resolved to the satisfaction of D&T, would have caused it to make
reference in connection with its report to the subject matter of the
disagreement.
The Company requested D&T furnish it with a letter addressed to the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") stating whether D&T agrees
with the above statements. A copy of the letter of D&T to the SEC dated
April 28, 1998, is filed as Exhibit 10.47 hereto.
(b) The Company has commenced discussions with potential auditors and
anticipates the appointment of new auditors in the near future.
