ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS.

     (a) On November 12,  2003,  Alternative  Technology  Resources,  Inc.  (the
"Registrant") and Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young"),  mutually agreed to cease
their  existing  professional  relationship.  The decision to cease the existing
relationship  with Ernst & Young was  recommended  by the audit  committee.  The
Registrant  is currently  involved in the process of engaging a new  independent
accountant.

     During the  Registrant's  two most recent  fiscal years ended June 30, 2003
and 2002, and the subsequent  interim period through November 12, 2003, the date
of this report,  there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young on any matter of
accounting principles or practices,  financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or  procedures,  which  disagreements  if not resolved to Ernst & Young 's
satisfaction  would have caused it to make a reference to the subject  matter of
the  disagreements in connection with its reports.  During these periods,  there
were no "reportable events" described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-B.

     The  audit  report  of Ernst & Young  on the  financial  statements  of the
Registrant as of and for the past two fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
did not contain  any adverse  opinion or  disclaimer  of opinion,  nor were they
qualified or modified as to uncertainty,  audit scope, or accounting principles,
except  that the  audit  reports  for the past two  fiscal  years  contained  an
explanatory  paragraph  indicating  that there is  substantial  doubt  about the
Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern.

     In response to the  Registrant's  request,  Ernst & Young has furnished the
Registrant  with a letter  addressed to the Securities  and Exchange  Commission
stating  whether  or not it  agrees  with the above  statements.  A copy of such
letter dated November 13, 2003, is attached  hereto as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form
8-K.

     (b)  The  Registrant  is in the  process  of  selecting  a new  independent
accountant for its current fiscal year.
