ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS

(i)      On May 30, 2001, the Board of Directors of IPI, Inc. (the "Company")
         approved the dismissal of the Company's independent public accountant,
         Arthur Andersen LLP.

(ii)     No reports by Arthur Andersen LLP within the last two years have
         contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or have been
         qualified or modified. During the Company's two most recent fiscal
         years, all interim periods preceeding the dismissal, there were no
         disagreements between the Company and Arthur Andersen LLP on any matter
         of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure,
         or auditing scope or procedure. Within the last two most recent fiscal
         years and all subsequent interim periods and to the date of dismissal,
         there have been no reportable events with respect to Arthur Andersen
         LLP as that term is described in Item 304 of Regulations S-K.

(iii)    On May 30, 2001, the Company selected and engaged
         Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP as its independent public accountant.

ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

On May 30, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Richard Zona
and Daniel Rohr to serve as members of the Board of Directors. Messrs. Zona and
Rohr will also serve on the Company's Audit Committee as "independent directors"
as that term is defined by Amex Listing Standards. Directors Zona, Rohr and
Mathisen now comprise the Company's Audit Committee.
