Exhibit 15 - ---------- Independent Accountants' Report - ------------------------------- Ranger Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries St. Petersburg, Florida We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Ranger Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2002, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and for the period from inception through September 30, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Aidman, Piser & Company, P.A.
