Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

On January 3, 2005, Aidman, Piser & Company, P.A. ("Aidman Piser") was dismissed as the Company's independent public accountants. The decision to dismiss Aidman Piser was recommended and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Aidman Piser's reports on the Company's financial statements for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle, except that the report on the Company’s 2002 and 2003 financial statements included the following modification as to uncertainty: "As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses, has a substantial working capital deficiency and has been unable to comply with the terms of its debt agreements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty."

In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for each of the last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and through January 3, 2005, there were no disagreements between the Company and Aidman Piser on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Aidman Piser, would have caused them to make a reference thereto in connection with their report on the financial statements. During the most recent fiscal year audited by Aidman Piser and through January 3, 2005, there have been no reportable events as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(v).

On January 6, 2005, the Company engaged Bagell, Josephs & Company, LLC ("Bagell, Josephs"), as its new independent public accountants to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The decision to engage Bagell Josephs was recommended and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company has authorized Aidman Piser to respond fully to inquiries by the Company’s new auditors.

During the last two fiscal years audited by Aidman Piser and through January 3, 2005, the Company did not consult with Bagell, Josephs regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, whether completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, or any matter which was the subject of any disagreement, or any reportable event that would be required to be reported in this Form 8-K.

The Company has requested Bagell Josephs to review the disclosure in this Report on Form 8K before filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has provided Bagell Josephs the opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission containing any new information, clarification of the Company’s statements, or the respects in which it does not agree with the statements made in this Report on Form 8K. Bagell Josephs has informed the Company that it has reviewed these disclosures and does not intend to furnish the Company with such a letter.

The Company has also provided Aidman Piser a copy of the disclosures set forth above and have requested Aidman Piser to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether Aidman Piser agrees with the statements made by the Company in this report. Aidman Piser 's letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

16. Letter of Aidman Piser dated January 5, 2005.
