CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT KPMG LLP was previously the principal accountants for Kestrel Energy, Inc. On August 22, 2002, that firm's appointment as principal accountants was terminated and we have engaged Wheeler Wasoff P.C. as principal accountants. The decision to change accountants was recommended and approved by the audit committee of the board of directors and the board of directors. In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended June 30, 2001 and the subsequent period through August 22, 2002, there were no disagreements with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement. During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent period through August 22, 2002, we have not consulted with Wheeler Wasoff P.C. regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements. The audit reports of KPMG LLP on the financial statements of Kestrel Energy, Inc. as of and for the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
