ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

(a)  The  auditing  firm  of  Bederson  and  Company  LLP  was  informed  by the
     management  of JD American  Workwear,  Inc. on July 13, 2000 that they were
     dismissed  effective  immediately.  This  action  was taken by the Board of
     Directors  after  disagreements  over  internal  control  issues  plus  the
     documentation  required,  the timing for  completion of the current  fiscal
     year audit and the current lack of  independence  of the auditors  that was
     raised by Bederson  and Company LLP. On July14,  2000  Bederson and Company
     LLP informed the Company that it was  withdrawing  its report dated June 7,
     1999 on the Company's February 28, 1999 financial statements because of the
     accounting errors for fiscal 1999 and the current lack of independence.

     The treatment of the accounting  errors related to the  presentation of the
     Series B Preferred Stock and its detached warrant and accrued interest, the
     lack of any presentation of a beneficial conversion feature of the Series A
     Preferred  Stock and the accounting  policy and  accounting  related to the
     presentation  of  consignment  or  contingent  sales for the period  ending
     February 28, 1999 have not been  resolved  with Bederson and Company LLP. A
     formal  presentation  will be made to  Bederson  and  Company LLP for their
     approval and the  reissuance  of their  opinion for the period  immediately
     upon conclusion of the current periods audit.

     It is unknown at this time what the effects of the presentation of Series B
     Preferred  Stock should have been as no  agreement  between the Company and
     the auditor has been  reached.  The Company in fact raised the issue on the
     presentation  of the Series A and B Preferred  with the  auditors  after an
     exhaustive  internal review of the rules regarding such  presentation and a
     pre-filing  conference with Securities and Exchange  Commission  staff. The
     Company  believes  that the prior  period  should be adjusted to indicate a
     value  of the  detached  warrants  to be $.75  per  warrant  not  $4.00  as
     previously  reported and that this amount should be presented as additional
     paid in capital not as a line item unto itself. The $2,500,000  received in
     the transaction  should be carried as debt and placed between the liability
     and  equity  section  of the  balance  sheet  and  presented  with a proper
     description because of the mandatory  redemption  provision included in the
     transaction. Further, that a charge of $91,552 for fiscal 1999, should have
     been taken to  amortize  the debt  discount  created to conform  with GAAP.
     Additionally,  an accrual of  $193,151  for  interest  due should have been
     recorded in fiscal 1999. The beneficial  conversion feature of the Series A
     stock should have required a one-time  expense entry of $223,560 for fiscal
     1999.

     Bederson and Company LLP in response to a comment  raised by the Securities
     and Exchange  Commission and based upon  additional  received  during their
     fiscal 2000 audit,  suggested  that the  presentation  of certain  sales in
     fiscal 1999 should not have been  recorded as current  period sales because
     of their  consignment or contingent  nature.  The Company believes that the
     sales  for  fiscal  1999  should  have been  reduced  by  $272,697  and the
     associated cost of goods reduced by $171,584 causing the reduction of gross
     profit of $101,115 and increasing the loss for the year by the same amount.
     The assets would have been increased by the cost of goods sold amount being
     presented as consignment  inventory.  No other  disagreements  are known at
     this time.

(b)  the auditing firm of Bella, Hermida,  Gilman, Hancock and Mueller, P.A. has
     been engaged  effective July 14, 2000 to audit the Fiscal 2000  accounting.
     They  have  not  expressed  any  opinion  to  date on the  accuracy  of the
     Company's  positions as stated  above.  These items have been  discussed at
     length and will be the focus of attention  between Bederson and Company LLP
     and Bella, Hermida, Gilman, Hancock and Mueller, P.A. immediately.

                                   SIGNATURES

Pursuant  to the  requirements  of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934,  the
Registrant  has duly  caused  this  report  to be  signed  on its  behalf by the
undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
