Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

     (a) On April 12, 2002, KPMG LLP ("KPMG") resigned as the independent
auditors for Delcath Systems, Inc. (the "Company").

     The reports of KPMG on the balance sheets of the Company as of December 31,
2001 and 2000 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2001
and for the period from August 5, 1988 (inception) to December 31, 2001 and for
the period from August 5, 1988 (inception) to December 31, 2000 did not contain
any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

     In connection with the audits of the periods described above, and the
subsequent interim period through April 12, 2002, there were no disagreements
between the Company and KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to KPMG's satisfaction, would have caused KPMG to
make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with
its reports.

     The Company has requested KPMG to furnish a letter addressed to the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") stating whether it agrees
with the statements made by the Company in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation
S-K. The Company has requested that KPMG provide the letter as promptly as
possible so that the Company can file it with the Commission.

     (b) The Company has not yet retained a new independent auditor.
