Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

         a. Effective November 10, 2000, The Classica Group, Inc.(the "Company")
dismissed its  prior certifying  accountants, Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte")
and retained as its new certifying accountants, Ehrenkrantz, Sterling & Company,
Certified Public Accountants and Consultants ("Ehrenkrantz").  Deloitte's report
on the Company's  financial  statements for the fiscal years ended  December 31,
1999 and 1998 contained no adverse  opinions  or  disclaimer of opinions,and was
not qualified as to  audit  scope, accounting principles, or uncertainties.  The
decision to change accountants was approved by the Audit Committee and the Board
of Directors of the Company. As required by applicable rules  of the  Securities
and Exchange Commission, the Company notified Deloitte that during  the two most
recent  fiscal  years and the  interim  period from December  31,  1999  through
November 9, 2000 the Company was unaware of any disputes between the Company and
Deloitte  as  to  matters  of  accounting  principles  or  practices,  financial
statement disclosure,  or audit scope of procedure,  which disagreements, if not
resolved  to  the  satisfaction  of  Deloitte, would have caused it  to  make  a
reference to the subject  matter of  the  disagreements  in  connection with its
reports  and   requested  Deloitte  to confirm this, a copy of which is attached
hereto.

         b. Effective  November 10, 2000, the Company engaged Ehrenkrantz as its
principle accountants. During the most recent fiscal year end and the subsequent
interim  periods  to  the  date  hereof, the Company did not consult Ehrenkrantz
regarding any of the matters or events  set forth in item 304 (a)(2) and (i) and
(ii) of  Regulation S-B.
