ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Effective February 11, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the
engagement of Squar, Milner, Reehl & Williamson, LLP Public Accountants ("Squar
Milner") as its independent auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001
to replace Stonefield Josephson, Inc. (Stonefield Josephson"). The Company did
not consult with Squar Milner on any matters prior to their retention.
The report of Stonefield Josephson on the Company's financial statements for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations,
stockholder's equity and cash flows for the two years then ended 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.
During the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period, there
were no disagreements with Stonefield Josephson on any matters of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and
procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Stonefield Josephson
would have caused Stonefield Josephson to make reference to the matter in their
report.
The Registrant has provided a copy of this disclosure to its former accountants,
and the Registrant requested that the former accountants furnish the Registrant
with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating
whether they agree with the statements made by the Registrant, and, if not,
stating the respects in which they do not agree. A copy of the former
accountants' responses indicating agreement is included as an exhibit to this
report.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
(c) Exhibits
16.1 Letter dated February 26, 2002 from Stonefield Josephson regarding its
concurrence with the statements made by the Registrant in this Current Report.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
Dated: February 21, 2002 PROTEO, INC.
