Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
In the beginning of July, 2000, the Registrant's current accountants,
Andersen, Andersen & Strong, L.C. ("AAS"), notified the Registrant that it
would be unable to audit the Registrant's financial statements for the year
ended March 31, 2000. The Registrant has engaged Richard A. Eisner & Company,
LLP ("Eisner"), as Registrant's auditor for the year ending March 31, 2000.
The firm of AAS, served as the Company's auditors for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999. AAS has indicated that they are unable to complete the audit
for the year because one of the two partners of the firm, who would be the
concurring partner, has taken a leave of absence from the firm for health
reasons, and will not return for a lengthy period. Prior to the engagement of
Eisner, neither the Registrant, nor anyone on its behalf, has not consulted
with Eisner on any financial issue.
During the years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, and up to and including
the present, there have been no disagreements between the Company and AAS on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope or procedures. Furthermore, AAS's report on the
financial statements for the years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, did not
contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles. AAS's report on the financial statements of the Company for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, indicated that the Company was able
to continue as a going concern.
The Company intends to have the appointment of Eisner ratified at the
next meeting of the Registrant's shareholders.
Attached hereto is the letter from AAS, as required by Item 304(a)(3) of
Regulation S-K.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Registrant has caused this report to be
signed on its behalf by the undersigned, hereunto duly authorized.
