Item 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
---------------------------------------------
On July 16, 2002, CareScience, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the
"Company"), dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP ("Arthur Andersen") as the Company's
independent public accountants and engaged KPMG LLP to serve as the Company's
independent public accountants for fiscal 2002. The decision to change
independent public accountants was recommended by the Audit Committee and
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Arthur Andersen's reports on the Company's consolidated financial
statements for each of the fiscal years ended 2001 and 2000 did not contain an
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended 2001 and 2000 and through July 16, 2002,
there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting
principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure which, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen's satisfaction, would have
caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their
report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for such years; and
there were no reportable events as defined in item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation
S-K.
The Company provided Arthur Andersen with a copy of the foregoing
disclosures. While the Company has received no information from Arthur Andersen
that Arthur Andersen has a basis for disagreement with such statements, the
Company has been informed that, in light of the developments at Arthur Andersen,
Arthur Andersen has ceased providing written representations for use in Form
8-Ks concerning changes in registrants' certifying accountant.
During the fiscal years ended 2001 and 2000 and through the date of the
Company's decision, the Company did not consult KPMG LLP with respect to the
application of accounting principles to a specified transaction either completed
or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the
Company's consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable
events as set forth in Items 304 (a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company regarding its change in
accountants is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
