Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
         ---------------------------------------------

         (a)(i) Advanced Medical Products Inc. ("ADVA") engaged McGladrey &
Pullen, LLP as its independent accountants and to audit its financial statements
for the years ended June 30, 1998, 1999 and 2000. On March 2, 2001, effective as
of such date, the Board of Directors of ADVA appointed BDO Seidman, LLP as
ADVA's independent accountants to succeed McGladrey & Pullen, LLP.

         The accountants report by McGladrey & Pullen, LLP on the financial
statements for either of the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the conduct of the
audits of the two most recent fiscal years of ADVA, and all subsequent interim
periods preceding the engagement of BDO Seidman, LLP, there was no disagreement
on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement if not resolved
to the satisfaction of the former accountant, would have caused it to make
reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its
report.

         The letter from McGladrey & Pullen, LLP required by Item 304(a)(3) of
Regulation S-K, concerning its agreement or disagreement with the disclosures
made in this Report on Form 8-K is filed as Exhibit 16.2 hereto.


Item 7.  Exhibits.
         --------

         (a)  Not applicable.

         (b)  Not applicable.

         (c)  Exhibit 16.1:  Letter from ADVA to McGladrey & Pullen, LLP

                             addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission
                             stating whether they agree with the statements made
                             by ADVA in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

              Exhibit 16.2:  Letter from McGladrey & Pullen, LLP with respect to
                             the statements made by ADVA in this Current Report

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
