(Formerly Peripheral Systems, Inc.) WASHINGTON 1-10069 93-0845837 Commission File Number IRS Employer Identification No. 7500 Perimeter Road South Seattle, Washington 98108 Registrant's telephone number, including area code: (206) 763-1919 Item 4 - Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant Effective August 15, 1997, BDO Seidman, LLP ("BDO"), the auditors of Environmental Testing Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), has resigned. BDO's reports on the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended May 31, 1994 and 1995 contained an explanatory para- graph as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The audits of the financial statements for the fiscal years ended May 31, 1996 and 1997 were not completed. On August 15, 1997, BDO informed the Company that information re- garding the filing of certain tax forms had recently come to BDO's attention. This information (although it would not cause a material adjustment to the financial statements) has led BDO to believe that it no longer can rely on management's representations. The Company is not aware of any disagreements with BDO during the two fiscal years ended May 31, 1995, on any matter of accounting prin- ciples or practices, financial statements disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. On August 18, 1997, the Board of Directors of Environmental Testing Technologies, Inc. engaged the accounting firm of Terrence J. Dunne as independent accountants for the Registrant to perform an audit for the fiscal years 1996 and 1997. Audited financial statements prepared pursuant to the requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act were not filed for the past two fiscal years. The Registrant is working toward preparing a filing to cover the period in which no filings were made. The Registrant has requested that BDO Seidman furnish it with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter [will be filed by amendment] as an Exhibit to the Form 8-K. Item 7 - Financial Statements and Exhibits (a) Financial statements - not applicable (b) Pro forma financial information - not applicable (c) Exhibit: BDO Seidman letter dated ____________________. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized. Dated: August 20, 1997 ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING TECHNOLOGIES, INC. By _________________________________________ George B. Maitland, President -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
