Item 4. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on
Accounting and Financial Disclosure
The Company's accountants, Arthur Andersen LLP, resigned
their position as the Company's auditors effective August 14,
1997. Arthur Andersen LLP, issued a qualified opinion on the
Company's financial statements for the year ending September 30,
1996. The opinion was qualified based on the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered
recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency
that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern.
The Company or its board of directors did not recommend a
change in accountants. The Company did not have any
disagreements with Arthur Andersen LLP during the prior two
fiscal years or any interim period since the fiscal year ending
September 30, 1996.
The Company does not have any replacement for Arthur
Andersen LLP as of this filing.
