Explanation of Amendment

Critical Home Care, Inc. (the “Company”) amends Form 8-K filed on June 29, 2004 (which Form 8-K was amended by Form 8-K/A filed on June 30, 2004 and was further amended by Form 8-K/A filed on July 1, 2004 and Form 8-K/A filed on July 16, 2004) as follows:

  1. The last sentence of Item 4(a) is amended to read as follows:

“None of the events described in Regulation S-K 304(a)(1)(v) occurred during the most recent two fiscal years and the subsequent period through and including June 22, 2004.” 

  1. Exhibit 99.2 of Item 7 is amended so that the text of the form of letter addressed to the Commission which the Company requests that its former accounts, Marcum & Kliegman LLP, provide it reads as follows:


“We have read the statements made by Critical Home Care, Inc. under Item 4(a), which was filed with the Commission on July 28, 2004, as part of the Company’s Form 8-K/A dated July 28, 2004.  Such Form 8-K/A amends and restates Item 4(a) of Form 8-K dated June 29, 2004.  We agree with the statements concerning our Firm in such Form 8-K/A, except we are not in a position to agree or disagree with the statements concerning the actions of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of Critical Home Care, Inc.”

  1. Item 4(b) is amended to clarify the description of the fiscal periods referenced therein.  No change in substantive meaning is intended by such amendment.

Exhibit 99.2 of Item 7 of this Form 8-K/A incorporates the amendment described above Paragraph 2 and is the unsigned form of letter which the Company requests that its former accountants, Marcum & Kliegman LLP, execute and mail to the Commission. 

This Form 8-K/A restates below in its entirety Items 4(a), 4(b) and Exhibit 99.2 of Item 7 as amended herein, together with all other Items contained in Form 8-K filed on June 29, 2004, as amended by Forms 8-K/A filed on June 30, 2004, July 1, 2004, and July 16, 2004, which other Items are restated without change. 

The Items restated herein without change include the amendment made by Form 8-K/A filed on July 1, 2004.  Form 8-K/A filed on July 1, 2004 corrected an omission in Form 8-K/A filed on June 30, 2004 which amended Form 8-K filed by the Company on June 29, 2004.  The sole amendment made by Form 8-K/A filed June 30, 2004 was the withdrawal, replacement and restatement of Item 4(a) as it appeared in Form 8-K filed on June 29, 2004.  In addition, Form 8-K/A filed on June 30, 2004 was intended to restate, without change, all other Items contained in Form 8-K filed by the Company on June 29, 2004, including Item 4(b).  Form 8-K/A filed on June 30, 2004 omitted the restatement of Item 4(b) contained in Form 8-K filed by the Company on June 29, 2004. 

Item 4.            Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

       (a)     Previous Independent Accountants

The Board of Directors and Audit Committee of Critical Home Care, Inc. adopted resolutions on June 22, 2004 dismissing Critical Home Care, Inc.’s independent accountant, Marcum & Kliegman LLP.  Marcum & Kliegman LLP was notified of its dismissal on June 30, 2004.  The reports of Marcum & Kliegman LLP on the consolidated financial statements of Critical Home Care, Inc. as of September 30, 2003 and the year then ended contained a qualified

-2-


opinion as to substantial doubt about the ability of Critical Home Care, Inc. to continue as a going concern.  The reports of Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C. on the consolidated financial statements of Critical Home Care, Inc., as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 for the nine months and year then ended contain no adverse opinions or disclaimer of opinion and were not otherwise qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle (as stated in the SEC Form 8-K filed by Critical Home Care, Inc. and dated May 7, 2003, which Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by this reference and attached as Exhibit 99.1).

In connection with Marcum & Kliegman LLP’s audit of the consolidated financial statements of Critical Home Care, Inc. as of September 30, 2003 and the year ended, there has been no disagreement with Marcum & Kliegman LLP on matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum & Kliegman LLP, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its report on consolidated financial statements for such period.  Critical Home Care, Inc. has requested that Marcum & Kliegman LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements.  Such letter is attached as Exhibit 99.2 (note that the SEC Form 8-K dated June 29, 2004 was incorrect insofar as it represented that a signed letter had been obtained from Marcum & Kliegman LLP). 

In connection with Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C.’s audit of the consolidated financial statements of Critical Health Care as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 for the nine months and year then ended, and during the interim period between October 1, 2002 and May 2, 2003, there has been no disagreements with Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C. on matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C., would have caused it to make reference thereto in its report on consolidated financial statements for such period.  See SEC Form 8-K filed by Critical Home Care, Inc. and dated May 7, 2003 (attached as Exhibit 99.1).

None of the events described in Regulation S-K 304(a)(1)(v) occurred during the most recent two fiscal years and the subsequent period through and including June 22, 2004.

       (b)     New Independent Accountants

The Board of Directors of Critical Home Care, Inc., with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, engaged BDO Seidman, LLP as the Company’s new independent accountants as of June 22, 2004.  During the fiscal year ended on September 30, 2003, the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and year ended on December 31, 2001, and during the subsequent period through and ended on June 22, 2004, Critical Home Care, Inc. did not consult with BDO Seidman, LLP regarding the application of accounting principles to any specific transaction, whether completed or proposed, on the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Critical Home Care, Inc.'s consolidated financial statements, or on any other matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.
