                        Thomas & Associates, PLLC as its independent
                        accountants.

                (ii)    The reports of Swalm, Thomas & Associates, PLLC on the
                        Registrant's financial statements for the past two
                        fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer
                        of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to
                        uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle, except
                        for explanatory paragraphs with respect to a going
                        concern uncertainty.

                (iii)   The Registrant's Board of Directors participated in and
                        approved the decision to change independent accountants.

                (iv)    In connection with its audits for the Registrant's two
                        most recent fiscal years and through December 15, 2000,
                        there have been no disagreements with Swalm, Thomas &
                        Associates, PLLC on any matter of accounting principles
                        or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
                        auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to
                        the satisfaction of Swalm, Thomas & Associates, PLLC
                        would have caused Swalm, Thomas & Associates, PLLC to
                        make reference thereto in their reports on the
                        Registrant's financial statements for such years and/or
                        interim periods.

                        Associates, PLLC furnish it with a letter addressed to
                        the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether
                        or not it agrees with the above statement. A copy of
                        such letter, dated January 5, 2001, is filed as Exhibit
                        16.1 herewith.

                        independent accountants as of December 15, 2000. During
                        the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and
                        through December 15, 2000, no consultations have
                        occurred between the Registrant and Grant Thornton LLP
                        which concerned the subject matter of a disagreement
                        with Swalm, Thomas & Associates, PLLC. As of December
                        15, 2000, Grant Thornton LLP has not rendered any oral
                        advice or written report to the Registrant on the
                        application of accounting principals to a specific
                        transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be
                        rendered on the Registrant's financial statements.
