Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
The Corporation advises that James Slayton, C.P.A. has resigned as the company
auditors, which resignation was accepted by the Company on January 1, 2000
effective from December 31, 1999. The reason for the resignation was at the
request of the Registrant due to the fact that Mr. Slayton is not a member of
the SEC Practice Section of the AICPA which the Company deemed to be of extreme
importance for purposes of its relationships with the stock market community and
with the Securities & Exchange Commission.
The decision to change accountants was recommended and approved by the Board of
Directors.
During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim
period preceding the date of the dismissal, there were no disagreements with the
former accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.
The accountant's report on the financial statements for the past two years did
not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles other than
as stated in the Registration Statement, Amendment No. 4, wherein the
Accountant's Report states as follows:
"The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial
statements, the Company has had limited operations and has not generated
significant revenues from planned principal operations. This raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in
regard to these matters is also described in Note 3. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty."
The Accountant in Note 3 makes the following statement:
"The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. However, the Company has not generated significant revenues from its
planned principal operations. Without realization of additional capital, it
would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern."
John Spurgeon, CPA, JD whose address is PO Box 1171, Glendora, CA 91740,
telephone number (626) 914-9449 has agreed to replace James Slayton as auditor.
Mr. Spurgeon is a member of the SEC Practice Section of the AICPA as is his
reviewing auditors, Corbin & Wertz of Irvine, California.
