Item 4.
Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
On July 6, 2004, the Board of Directors of Health Enhancement Products, Inc. (HEPI) dismissed Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, P.C. (Pritchett) as its independent auditors, and engaged Wolinetz, Lafazan & Company, P.C. to serve as its new independent auditors for fiscal 2004. The change in auditors became effective as of July 6, 2004.
The report of Pritchett on HEPIs consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that such report was qualified as to the uncertainty relating to HEPIs ability to continue as a going concern.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and through the date hereof, there were no disagreements with Pritchett on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Pritchett, would have caused Pritchett to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report on the financial statements for such years. In addition, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and through the date hereof, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
HEPI provided Pritchett with a copy of the foregoing disclosures prior to the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested Pritchett to furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether Pritchett agrees with the statements made by HEPI herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. Attached hereto as Exhibit 16 is a copy of Pritchetts letter, dated July 9, 2004, stating its agreement with such statements.
As mentioned above, simultaneously with the dismissal of its former auditors, HEPI engaged Wolinetz, Lafazan & Company, P.C. to act as its independent auditors as successor to Pritchett for fiscal 2004 effective as of July 6, 2004. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 through the date hereof, HEPI did not consult with Wolinetz, Lafazan & Company, P.C. regarding any matters or events set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
