Item IV - Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
--------------------------------------------------------------
Management of Environmental Solutions and Technology Corp. (MEST or the
"Company") previously engaged Arenthals en Partners Registered Accountants who
are located at Reimersbeek 2, Post Bus 87081, 1080 JB Amsterdam, The Netherlands
in order to do audits for the Company for the stub period 1997, 1998 and 1999.
The financial statements were provided by Arenthals en Partners through the
Securities and Exchange Commission when the Company filed its 10-SB on December
28, 1999.
Due to the Commission's presumption that a U.S. based corporation would be
audited by a U.S. auditing firm familiar with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principals and generally accepted auditing standards together with the
Securities and Exchange Act rules and regulations, Management deemed it in the
best interest of the Company to retain a U.S. based auditing firm and certified
public accountant who could perform auditing functions for and on behalf of
the Company.
Consequently the Company engaged Williams & Webster, certified public
accountants and business consultants who are located at Bank of America
Financial Center, 601 West Riverside, Suite 1940, Spokane, Washington, USA
99201-0611 as its auditor. Williams & Webster P.S. revised the Company's audits
in response to the Commission's comments issued on February 11, 2000. The
Company utilized audits performed by Williams & Webster and submitted this
accounting on October 15, 2001 as its amended 10-SB in response to the
Commission's comments.
Arenthals en Partners which has now become affiliated with Grant Thornton
continues to serve as the Company's accountants in The Netherlands and provides
accounting for the Company's periodic accounting requirements under Section 13
and 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Arenthals Grant Thornton
accounting is provided to Williams & Webster P.S. who performs the annual audits
and quarterly reviews. The Company cites no other reason other than the need to
retain a U.S. based certified public accountant qualified to practice before the
Securities and Exchange Commission as a reason for its change of auditor.
