CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT Effective February 11, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the engagement of Squar, Milner, Reehl & Williamson, LLP, Certified Public Accountants ("Squar Milner") as its independent auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 to replace Stonefield Josephson, Inc. ("Stonefield Josephson"). The Company did not consult with Squar Milner on any matters prior to their retention. The report of Stonefield Josephson on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations, stockholder's equity and cash flows for the two years then ended did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In connection with the audit of the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000 and for the subsequent interim periods, there were no disagreements with Stonefield Josephson on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Stonefield Josephson would have caused Stonefield Josephson to make reference to the matter in their report. The Company has requested Stonefield Josephson to furnish it a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter will be filed as an amendment to this 8-K when received pursuant to the requirements of Item 304 of Regulation S-B. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
