Item 4. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On August 6, 2004, Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst &Young”) submitted its resignation as independent registered public accountants for NexPrise, Inc. (the “Company”).

That resignation was accepted by the Company’s Audit Committee.

The reports of Ernst & Young on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 did not contain any adverse opinion, or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

In connection with its audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, and in the subsequent interim period, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young 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 Ernst & Young, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its report.

The Company has provided Ernst & Young with a copy of this Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has received a letter from Ernst & Young addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission. A copy of that letter, dated as of August 13, 2004, is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
