CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT On October 23, 2001, Distinctive Devices, Inc. (the "Company) gave notice to Goldstein Lewin & Co., CPAs ("Goldstein"), which had served as the Company's independent accountants for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, that the Company decided not to continue the services of Goldstein. On October 23, 2001, the Company engaged Rosen Seymour Shapps Martin & Company LLP ("Rosen"), whose business address is 757 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10017-2049, to act as the Company's independent accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001. On October 22, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors had decided to effect the change in the Company's accountants based upon the desire to reduce operating costs and to have accountants located in the New York metropolitan area as the Company's executive offices had been moved to Fort Lee, New Jersey. Goldstein had been the independent accountants of the Company from February 5, 1998 (inception) through December 31, 2000. The reports by Goldstein to the Company's audited financial statements for the two years ended December 31, 2000 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion nor were they modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except for a modification relating to a "going concern" uncertainty. The Company had no disagreements with Goldstein on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the Goldstein's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this report is a letter from Goldstein confirming that there were no disagreements with the Company. The Company had not consulted with Rosen prior to Rosen's retention on either application of accounting principles or type of opinion Rosen might render on the Company's financial statements. ITEM 7.
