Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
(a) On October 25, 2002, Wentworth III, Inc. (the "Company") ended the
engagement of Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP ("GGK") as its independent certified
public accountants. The decision was approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
There was no disagreement with GGK on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of GGK, would have caused GGK
to make reference to the subject of that disagreement in its reports on the
Company's financial statements.
The Company requested that GGK furnish it with a letter addressed to the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") stating whether or not it agrees
with the Company's statements in this Item 4 (a). A copy of the letter
furnished by GGK in response to that request, dated October 31, 2002, is filed
as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
(b) On October 30, 2002, Hein & Associates, LLP ("Hein") was engaged as the
Company's new independent accountants. During the two most recent fiscal years
and the interim period preceding the engagement of Hein, the Company has not
consulted with Hein regarding either: (1) the application of accounting
principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type
of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements;
or (11) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or event
identified in paragraph (a) (1) (iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-B.
