ITEM 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

Peterson & Co., LLP (“Peterson”) resigned as the Company’s independent accountants effective January 18, 2005. Peterson’s written resignation to the Company states that such resignation was due to their inability to maintain their independence with the Company in accordance with the rules promulgated by the Public Companies Accounting Oversight Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Company engaged Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. as its independent accountants effective January 24, 2005.

The report of Peterson on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004 was modified for an uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The report of Peterson on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2003 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principle.

In connection with its audits of the Company for the two most recent fiscal years and through January 18, 2005, there were no disagreements with Peterson on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Peterson, would have caused Peterson to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such years.

The Company has furnished to Peterson the statements made in this Item 4.01. Peterson’s letter to the Commission dated January 24, 2005 regarding these statements is attached as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through January 24, 2005, the Company has not consulted with Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. on any matter.
