Yes X No ___ INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant. On June 6, 2002, Intelli-Check, Inc. (the "Company") determined, for itself, to dismiss its independent auditors, Arthur Andersen LLP ("Arthur Andersen"), and to engage the services of Grant Thornton LLP ("Grant Thornton") as its new independent auditors. The change in auditors became effective immediately. This determination followed the Company's decision to seek proposals from independent accountants to audit the financial statements of the Company, and was approved by the Company's Board of Directors upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee. Grant Thornton will review the financial statements of the Company beginning with fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002. During the two most recent fiscal years of the Company ended December 31, 2001, and the subsequent interim period through June 6, 2002, there were no disagreements between the Company and Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen's satisfaction, would have caused Arthur Andersen to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports. None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred within the two most recent fiscal years of the Company ended December 31, 2001. The audit reports of Arthur Andersen on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. A letter from Arthur Andersen is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1. During the two most recent fiscal years of the Company ended December 31, 2001, and the subsequent interim period through June 6, 2002, the Company did not consult with Grant Thornton regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
