ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFIYING ACCOUNTANT

        Effective February 22, 2001, Docucon, Incorporated ("Registrant"), acting on the direction of its Board of Directors, approved the dismissal of Arthur Andersen LLP as the Company’s independent accountants. The reports of Arthur Andersen LLP on the Registrant’s financial statements for the past two fiscal years ending December 31, 1999 and 1998 were modified to discuss matters which raise substantial doubt about the Registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern. Those reports did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. In connection with the audits of the Registrant’s financial statements for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, and through February 22, 2001, there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Arthur Andersen LLP, would have caused Arthur Andersen LLP to make reference to the matter in their reports on the financial statements for such years nor were there any reportable events. Arthur Andersen LLP has furnished the Registrant with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating Arthur Andersen LLP’s agreement with the above statements. A copy of that letter is attached as an exhibit herein.

        Effective on February 22, 2001, Registrant retained the accounting firm of Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. to serve as its independent accountants to audit its financial statements beginning with the year ended December 31, 2000. This engagement was effective February 22, 2001. Prior to its engagement as Registrant’s independent auditors, Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. had not been consulted by Registrant either with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Registrant’s financial statements or on any other matter that was the subject of any prior disagreement between Registrant and Registrant’s previous certifying accountants.
