ITEM 4(a). CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On August 13, 2001 the Company notified its accountants, George Stewart,
CPA that they were being dismissed as the Company's independent auditors. The
stated reasons were that the Registrant wanted to try to save audit costs and
limit expenses. The Company's Board of Directors made the decision to change
accountants.
Audited statements prepared by George Stewart, CPA contained a going
concern qualification but such financial statements did not contain any
adjustment for uncertainties stated therein. The Company has had no
disagreements with George Stewart, CPA on any matter of accounting principle or
practice, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.
During the Registrant's most recent fiscal year and during any subsequent
interim period preceding the date of resignation, the Company has had no
disagreements with George Stewart, CPA on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.
No accountant's report on the financial statements for the past year
contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion or was qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
On August 16, 2001 the Company provided George Stewart, CPA with a copy of
this disclosure and requested that it furnish a letter to the Company, addressed
to the SEC, stating that it agreed with the statements made herein or the
reasons why it disagreed. On August 16 , 2001, the Company received a letter
from George Stewart, CPA that it agreed with the statements contained herein.
Item 4(b). Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On August 13, 2001, the Company engaged the firm of Melton & Co., P.C. 615
Griswold, Suite 320, Detroit, MI 48226 as the Company's independent auditors.
Such appointment was accepted by Andrew I. Melton, President of the firm. Prior
to such engagement, the Registrant had not consulted Melton & Co., P.C. on any
prior matters, including any matters relative to the application of accounting
principles or any subject of disagreement with George Stewart, CPA.
