Item 4.01.   Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
             ---------------------------------------------

         Effective September 1, 2005, the Company has dismissed BDO Seidman, LLP
("BDO") as its accountant. BDO's report on the Company's financial statements
for the last two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion, contained no
disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles. The decision to change accountants was
approved by the Company's audit committee. During the last two fiscal years and
thereafter through the date of this report there were no disagreements with BDO
on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.

         The Company is in the process of finalizing its selection of a new
independent registered public accounting firm. Effective with the engagement of
the new independent registered public accounting firm, the Company will file any
amendments to this report on Form 8-K as required concerning the matters set
forth in Item 304 (a)(2) of Regulation S-K.

Item 9.01    Financial Statements and Exhibits.
             ---------------------------------

         The Company provided BDO a copy of the foregoing disclosures. As
required by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K (Reg. ss.229.304(a)(3)), the
Company has requested BDO to furnish it with a letter addressed to the
Commission stating whether BDO agrees with the aforementioned statements. The
Company will file BDO's letter as an exhibit by amendment to this report on Form
8-K.
