ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On August 24, 1998, the Registrant's Board of Directors voted to engage
Weinbaum & Yalamanchi to act as the Registrant's independent certified public
accountants. In view of the stock transaction dated June 30, 1998 which in
effect represented a change in control of the Registrant, its management
determined it best to conform its accountants to its own accountants with whom
it has an ongoing relationship. As a result, the Registrant dismissed and
replaced Atkinson & Co. Ltd., the former independent certified public
accountant.
The former accountant's reports for the Registrant's last two fiscal years did
not contain any adverse opinion, nor disclaimer of opinion, nor were any such
reports modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
There have been no disagreements between the Registrant and the former
accountants with regard to any matters which would have caused such
accountants to make reference to the subject matter thereof with their report.
