Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On April 2, 2004, the company dismissed Kraft, Miles and Tatum, LLC ("KMT") as its independent accountant. The reports of KMT on the financial statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The audit committee of the board of directors made the decision to change independent accountants. In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through April 2, 2004, there were no disagreements with KMT 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 KMT would have caused KMT to make reference thereto in its report on the company's financial statements. During the two most recent fiscal years and through April 2, 2004, there were no reportable events (as set forth in Regulation S-B Item 304 (a)(1)(iv)(B)) with KMT. KMT has furnished the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating that it agrees with the above statements. A copy of this letter is included as an exhibit to this report.
On April 2, 2004, the Company engaged Baird, Kurtz, and Dobson ("BKD") as its independent accountant for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004. During the two most recent fiscal years and through April 2, 2004, the company has engaged BKD for consulting services. The Company did not consult with BKD regarding (1) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or proposed transaction, (2) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the company's financial statements or (3) the subject matter of a disagreement or reportable event with the former auditor (as set forth in Regulation S-B Item 304 (a)(1)(iv)(B)).
