Section 4 – Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements
Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
a) On May 2, 2005, LaPorte, Sehrt, Romig Hand (“LaPorte”) replaced Coulter & Justus, P.C. (“Coulter”) as the Registrant’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The Registrant’s Board of Directors approved and ratified the change of accountants from Coulter to LaPorte effective that same date.
b) Coulter, the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm previously engaged to audit the Registrant’s financial statements, was replaced as auditor for the Registrant on May 2, 2005. Coulter’s report on the Registrant’s financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified as to audit scope or accounting principles.
c) During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 and the subsequent interim period through May 2, 2005, there were no disagreements with Coulter on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Coulter’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
d) During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 and the subsequent interim period through May 2, 2005, the Registrant did not consult LaPorte with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-B.
e) The Registrant provided Coulter with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of Coulter’s letter, dated May 2, 2005, stating their agreement with such statements.
