BASEA, which has discounted converts, has fired its public accountant. Here's the 8k announcing this: Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant. On March 3, 1998, Base Ten Systems, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte & Touche") as the principal accountant to audit the Registrant's financial statements. The reports of Deloitte & Touche on the Company's financial statements for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The decision to dismiss Deloitte & Touche was approved by the Company's Board of Directors. During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding March 3, 1998, there were no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Deloitte & Touche's satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte & Touche to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding March 3, 1998 Deloitte & Touche did not advise the Company of any matters set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. The Company has provided Deloitte & Touche with a copy of this disclosure and requested that Deloitte & Touche furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") stating whether it agrees with this disclosure. A copy of the letter from Deloitte & Touche to the Commission is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.
