Item 4.   Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

         The Board of Directors of FiberCore,  Inc. (the "Company") approved the
replacement of Mottle McGrath Braney & Flynn, P.C. (the "Former Accountants") as
the Company's  independent  outside  accountants and the selection of Deloitte &
Touche LLP as the Company's new independent outside accountants.

         The report of the Former Accountants on the financial statements of the
Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 contained no adverse opinion
or disclaimer  of opinion and was not  qualified or modified as to  uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles.

         The report of the Former Accountants on the financial statements of the
Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 contained no adverse opinion
or  disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to audit scope or
accounting  principles.  The report was qualified as to the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.

         During the Company's  fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and
through the date of this  report,  there were no  disagreements  with the Former
Accountants  on any matter of  accounting  principles  or  practices,  financial
statement disclosure,  or auditing scope or procedure,  which disagreements,  if
not resolved to the  satisfaction of the Former  Accountants,  would have caused
them to make reference  thereto in their report on the financial  statements for
such years.

         During the fiscal  years ended  December  31, 1995 and 1994 and through
the date of this report,  the Former Accountants did not advise the Company with
respect to the matters described in paragraphs  (a)(1)(v)(A) through (D) of Item
304 of Regulation S-K.

         The  Company  engaged  Deloitte  &  Touche  LLP as its new  independent
accountants  effective  January 16, 1997.  During the two fiscal years preceding
its appointment and through the date hereof,  the Company had not consulted with
Deloitte & Touche LLP on items regarding:

          (i) The application of accounting  principles to a specific  completed
or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered
on the  Company's  financial  statements;  there was no written  or oral  advice
provided  that  was  an  important  factor  in  reaching  a  decision  as to any
accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or

                                        2

          (ii) Any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable
event required to be identified  pursuant to paragraph  (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of

         The  Company has  provided  the Former  Accountants  with a copy of the
foregoing  disclosures and has requested in writing that the Former  Accountants
furnish it with a letter  addressed to the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission
(the "SEC") stating  whether or not it agrees with such  disclosures.  A copy of
