Effective January 17, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the change of accountants.

The Company is completely satisfied with the work performed by Travis Wolff; this change is being made solely to contain the Company's costs associated with accounting services. During the period of engagement of Travis Wolff, there were no disagreements between the Company and Travis Wolff on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements (if not resolved to the satisfaction of Travis Wolff) would have caused Travis Wolff to make reference in connection with their report to the subject matter of the disagreements. The accountants' report on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty or audit scope or accounting principles, except to express doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
