ITEM 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On December 2, 1999, the Registrant engaged Cayer Prescott Clune &
Chatellier, LLP as its new independent auditors for the Registrant's fiscal year
ending March 31, 1999 and terminated its auditor relationship with BDO Seidman,
LLP ("BDO").
BDO served as the independent auditors for the Registrant for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1998. In its report on the financial statements for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, which was included with the Registrant's
Form 10-KSB, BDO included an explanatory paragraph regarding the uncertainty as
to the Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern because of recurring
losses from operations and the non-payment of debt obligations as they became
due. The decision to change independent auditors was approved by the Board of
Directors, because of the Registrant's deteriorating financial condition and its
inability to pay BDO for the work it had performed. During fiscal 1998 and any
subsequent periods, there were no disagreements on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would
have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in
connection with its report. In addition, BDO did not advise the Registrant of
any events set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-K during fiscal
1998 and any subsequent interim periods.
