Item 4.    Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On April 28, 2003, McKennon Wilson & Morgan LLP, the independent accountant previously engaged as the principal accountant to audit the financial statements of Southern States Power Co., Inc., (the "Company") resigned as auditors for the Company. As McKennon Wilson & Morgan LLP resigned, the decision to change accountants was not approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or by any audit or similar committee thereof.

During its engagement by the Company, McKennon Wilson & Morgan LLP did not issue an audit opinion with respect to any financial statements of the Company. During the period of their engagement, there were no disagreements with the former accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, except McKennon Wilson & Morgan LLP has expressed its belief to the Company that the Company did not provide information necessary to McKennon Wilson & Morgan LLP with respect to certain personal or corporate guarantees on certain bank indebtedness relating to its generator equipment financing, to enable McKennon Wilson & Morgan LLP to properly determine the adequacy of the Company’s disclosure regarding those transactions in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended January 31, 2003. The Company’s Board of Directors discussed with McKennon Wilson & Morgan LLP, the concerns expressed by McKennon Wilson & Morgan LLP and will authorize McKennon Wilson & Morgan LLP to respond fully to any and all inquiries of the successor accountant regarding these concerns. The Company has provided a copy of this disclosure to its former accountants, and requested that the former accountants furnish them with letters addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether they agree with the statements made by the Registrant, and, if not, stating the respects in which they do not agree. A copy of the former accountants' responses indicating agreement is included as exhibits to this report. 

The Company’s management is in the process of interviewing new auditors and hope to have a new auditor retained in the near future. Once a new auditor is retained the Company will file a Form 8-K with information regarding the new auditor, as required.
