SECTION 4 - MATTERS RELATED TO ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ITEM 4.01: CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
(a) On September 2, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Registrant dismissed Moore & Associates Chartered ("Moore"), its independent registered public accounting firm. On the same date, September 2, 2009, the independent registered public accounting firm of Seale and Beers, CPAs was engaged by our Board of Directors as our new independent registered public accountants. None of the reports of Moore on the Company's financial statements for either of the past two years or subsequent interim period contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that our audited financial statements contained it our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009 contained a going concern qualification in our audited financial statements.
During the registrant's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period thereto, there were no disagreements with Moore, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Moore's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the registrant's financial statements.
On September 2, 2009, we were advised that on August 27, 2009 the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") revoked the registration of Moore because of violations of PCAOB rules and quality control standards, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and noncooperation with a Board investigation.
We have requested that Moore furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. Moore informed the registrant that, upon the advice of counsel, Moore would not be providing a letter in connection with this Current Report.
(b) On September 2, 2009, the registrant engaged Seale and Beers, CPAs as its independent accountant. We have not, during the two most recent fiscal years and the interim periods preceding the engagement, consulted Seale and Bears, CPAs regarding any of the matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.
