ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
The registrant has dismissed its former principal accountants, Kelly &
Company of Newport Beach, California and engaged Cacciamatta Accountancy
Corporation of Irvine, California, as its principal accountants. The engagement
was made effective as of March 8, 2000.
During the fiscal years of 1997 and 1998 of the registrant, there were
no disagreements with the former accountants 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 the
former accountants would have caused them to make reference in connection with
their report to the subject matter of the disagreements.
The reports of the former principal accountants on the financial
statements of the registrant for either of the past two years contained no
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was either qualified or modified
as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
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 hereunto duly authorized.
