ITEM 4. CHANGES IN THE REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT

On March 12, 2004, the President and Chief Financial Officer of Registrant was notified by Spicer Jeffries LLP, Certified Public Accountants, ("Spicer") that Spicer would be unable to provide an audit opinion on the Registrant's December 31, 2003 financial statements due to Spicer's loss of its insurance coverage. Spicer had served as the independent auditor of the Registrant from August 15, 2003 through March 3, 2004.

On April 6, 2004, the Registrant's Board of Directors, voted to replace its independent accountant, Spicer. Effective as of April 6, 2004, the Registrant's new independent accountant is BDO Seidman, LLP ("BDO"). The Registrant authorized Spicer to respond fully to any inquiries from BDO and to make its work papers available to BDO.

The reports of Spicer from August 15, 2003 through March 3, 2004, did not contain any adverse opinion, disclaimer or opinion, or qualification or modification as to the certainty, audit scope or accounting principles. From August 15, 2003 through March 12, 2004, there were no disagreements between the Registrant and Spicer on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. In addition, from August 15, 2003 through March 12, 2004, there were no "reportable events" within the meaning of Item 304 of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation S-K.
