ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Effective March 1, 2001, our board of directors
approved a change in the company's independent auditors.
Previously, the independent auditing firm of G. Brad
Beckstead, CPA had issued reports covering the year ended
1999 on American IR Technologies, Inc. None of the reports
of G. Brad Beckstead, CPA on the financial statements of
American IR Technologies, Inc. contained any adverse opinion
or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, nor have
there been at any time, disagreements between American IR
Technologies, Inc. and G. Brad Beckstead, CPA on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.
We retained the accounting firm of Stark, Tinter &
Associates, LLC to serve as our independent accountants to
audit our financial statements beginning with the year ended
December 31, 2000. This engagement was effective March 7,
2001. Prior to its engagement as our independent auditors,
Stark, Tinter & Associates, LLC had not been consulted by us
either with respect to the application of accounting
principles to a specific transaction or the type of audit
opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements
or on any other matter that was the subject of any prior
disagreement between us and our previous certifying
accountants.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I was previously principal accountant for American IR
Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") and reported on the
financial statements of the Company for the year ended
December 31, 1999. Effective March 1, 2001, my appointment
as principal accountant was terminated. I have read the
Company's statements included under Item 4 of its Form 8-K
dated March 13, 2001, and I agree with such statements,
except that I am not in a position to agree or disagree with
the Company's statement that the change was approved by the
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors or that Stark
Tinter & Associates, LLC was not engaged regarding any
matter requiring disclosure under Regulation S-K, Item
304(a)(2).
Very truly yours,
/s/ G. Brad Beckstead
