Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant. As stated in the original 8-K filing, on December 16, 1999, the new board of directors of Torque Engineering (formerly Quintessence Oil Co.) engaged Weinberg & Co., P.A., as Torque Engineering's independent accountants to audit its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1999. Torque Engineering's current management now believes that no audits have ever been performed on the Quintessence Oil Co. financial statements and therefore we will not be receiving a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission from any prior auditor as required by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-B. Weinberg & Co., P.A. will be auditing prior periods as part of their engagement.
