Item 4 - Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

       (a)  The General Partner of NTS-Properties Plus Ltd., annually considers the selection of the registrant's independent public accountants. On May 23, 2002, the General Partner decided to dismiss Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as the registrant's independent public accountants and engaged Ernst & Young LLP to serve as the registrant's independent public accountants for 2002.

       (b)  Andersen's reports on NTS-Properties Plus' financial statements for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, however, the reports did contain a modification relating to the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Andersen's report on NTS-Properties Plus' financial statements for 2001 was issued on April 1, 2002, containing a modified opinion relating to NTS-Properties Plus' ability to continue as a going concern in conjunction with the publication of NTS-Properties Plus' Annual Report to Shareholders and the filing of NTS-Properties Plus' Annual Report on Form 10-K.

       (c)  During NTS-Properties Plus' two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this Form 8-K, there were no disagreements with Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Andersen's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on NTS-Properties Plus' financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events, as listed in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

       (d)  NTS-Properties Plus provided Andersen with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of Andersen's letter, dated May 24, 2002, stating its agreement with such statements.

       (e)  During NTS-Properties Plus' two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this Form 8-K, NTS-Properties Plus did not consult Ernst & Young LLP with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on NTS-Properties Plus' financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events listed in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
