Item 4. Changes in the Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
(a) By letter to Ridgewood Hotels, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), dated May 1, 2003, Deloitte & Touche LLP confirmed that the
auditor-client relationship between the Company and Deloitte & Touche LLP has
ceased. Deloitte & Touche LLP has served as the Company's independent auditor
since June 2002.
The report of Deloitte & Touche LLP on the Company's financial statements
for the most recent fiscal year contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles; however, such report did contain an explanatory paragraph
regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In connection
with Deloitte & Touche LLP's audit for the most recent fiscal year and through
May 1, 2003, there have been no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche LLP on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP, would have caused it to make reference
thereto in its report on the Company's financial statements for such periods.
During the most recent fiscal year and through May 1, 2003, there have been no
events of the kind listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has sent a copy of this Report to Deloitte & Touche LLP. The
Company has requested that Deloitte & Touche LLP furnish the Company with a
letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") stating
whether Deloitte & Touche LLP agrees with the statements set forth in Item 4 of
this Report and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. The
Company has requested that Deloitte & Touche LLP furnish this letter to the
Company as promptly as possible and, in any event, no later than ten (10)
business days after the filing of this Report. If the Company receives this
letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP, then the Company shall file this letter with
the SEC by amendment to this Report no later than two days after its receipt.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
