Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

          On September 27, 2000, the registrant engaged Killman, Murrell, &
Company, P.C. as its independent auditors to replace Merdinger, Frutcher, Rosen,
& Corso, P.C. (the "Accountant"). The Company has asked that the Accountant
submit a letter to the Securities & Exchange Commission to the effect that it
has no material disagreements with the statements made in this Item 4,
confirming that the Accountant had no disagreements with management of the
Company related to matters that are material to the Company's 1999 financial
statements.

         Management represents as follows:

                  (a) There have been no disputes between management and the
auditors and the auditors' reports contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles other than the Account qualified its opinion for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1999, based on the assumption that the
registrant would continue as a going concer.

                  (b) The Company's Board of Directors has approved the
appointment of Killman, Murrell, & Company, P.C.

                  (c) During the registrant's two most recent fiscal years and
any subsequent interim period there were no disagreements with the Accountant on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. The registrant has authorized the
Accountant to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor accountant, which
as of the date hereof has not been appointed.

                  (d) The Accountant expressed no disagreement or difference of
opinion regarding any "reportable" event as that term is defined in Item
304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, including but not limited to:

                           (i) the Accountant has not advised the registrant
                  that the internal controls necessary for the registrant to
                  develop reliable financial statements do not exist;

                           (ii) the Accountant has not advised the registrant
                  that information has come to the Accountant's attention that
                  has led it to no longer be able to rely on management's
                  representations, or that has made it unwilling to be
                  associated with the financial statements prepared by
                  management;

                           (iii) the Accountant has not advised the registrant
                  of the need to expand significantly the scope of its audit, or
                  notified the registrant that information has come to the
                  Accountant's attention that if further investigated may (A)
                  materially impact the fairness or reliability of either: a
                  previously issued audit report or the underlying financial
                  statements, or the financial statements issued or to be issued
                  covering the fiscal period(s) subsequent to the date of the
                  most recent financial statements covered by an audit report
                  (including information that may prevent it from rendering an
                  unqualified audit report on those financial statements), or
                  (B) cause it to be unwilling to rely on management's
                  representations or be associated with the registrant's
                  financial statements, and due to the Accountant's resignation
                  (due to audit scope limitations or otherwise) or dismissal, or
                  for any other reason, the Accountant did not so expand the
                  scope of its audit or conduct such further investigation;

                           (iv) the Accountant has not advised the registrant
                  that information has come to the Accountant's attention that
                  it has concluded materially impacts the fairness or
                  reliability of either (A) a previously issued audit report or
                  the underlying financial statements, or (B) the financial
                  statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal
                  period(s) subsequent to the date of the most recent financial
                  statements covered by an audit report (including information
                  that, unless resolved to the Accountant's satisfaction, would
                  prevent it from rendering an unqualified audit report on those
                  financial statements), and due to the Accountant's
                  resignation, or for any other reason, the issue has not been
                  resolved to the Accountant's satisfaction prior to its
                  resignation.

                  (e) The registrant has provided the Accountant with a copy of
the disclosures it is making in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K. The
registrant has requested that the Accountant furnish the registrant with a
letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements
made by the registrant. The Company has appended such letter hereto as Exhibit
16.
