Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants

On February 8, 2002, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Mikron
Instrument Company, Inc. (the "Company") approved the engagement of BDO Seidman,
LLP, with effect from February 11, 2002, as the Company's independent accountant
for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2002 to replace the firm of Arthur
Andersen LLP who were dismissed by the Company as its independent accountant
with effect from February 11, 2002.

The reports issued by Arthur Andersen LLP with respect to its audits of the
Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2000 and
2001 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the Company's fiscal years ended October 31, 2000 and 2001, the three
month interim period which ended on January 31, 2002, and the interim period
which commenced on February 1, 2002 and which ended on the date when Arthur
Andersen LLP was replaced as the Company's auditors, there were no disagreements
with Arthur Andersen LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures which, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of Arthur Andersen LLP would have caused Arthur
Andersen LLP to make reference thereto in any report issued or to be issued by
it in connection with its audit of the Company's financial statements.
