ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On January 13, 2004, the Registrant engaged Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP ("GGK")
as its independent auditors and accepted the resignation dated December 4, 2003,
of Stark Winter Schenkein & Co., LLP from such position. The decision to change
accountants was recommended and approved by the Registrant's Board of Directors.
No reports on the financial statements prepared by Stark Winter Schenkein & Co.,
LLP since they were retained as registrant's primary accountant on December 31,
1999, contained any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except
that the reports on the financial statements for the years ended December 31,
2000, 2001 and 2002 contained going concern qualifications. The decision to
change accountants was approved by the Registrant's Board of Directors. The
Registrant did not consult with GGK, its new independent accountants, regarding
any matter prior to its engagement.
During the registrant's two most recent fiscal years, and any subsequent interim
period preceding the resignation on December 4, 2003, there were no
disagreements with the former accountant, Stark Winter Schenkein & Co., LLP, or
any other former accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Stark Winter Schenkein &
Co., LLP, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement(s) in connection with their reports, except that Stark Winter
Schenkein orally stated that they were unable to complete their review of the
September 30, 2003 financial statements. This subject matter was discussed with
the Registrant. The Registrant has authorized the former accountants to fully
respond to the inquiries of the successor accountant concerning the
above-referenced subject matter.
The Registrant has provided to Stark Winter Schenkein & Co., its former
accountants, a copy of the disclosures contained in this Item 4, and the
Registrant has requested a letter from Stark Schenkein & Co., LLP addressed to
the Commission, stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the
Registrant in this Item 4 and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not
agree. A copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS
(a) Not applicable.
(b) Not applicable.
(c) Exhibits
(16.1) Letter from Stark Winter Schenkein & Co., LLP pursuant to Item
304(a)(3) of Regulation S-B.
