ITEM 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On March 2, 2000, the board of directors of the Registrant authorized the
Registrant's executive officers to engage the independent auditing firm of BDO
Seidman, LLP as its auditors to audit its financial statements for the year
ended March 31, 2000 and dismiss the firm of Haskell & White LLP upon acceptance
by BDO Seidman LLP.
The Registrant did not request that Haskell & White LLP stand for re-election
and the firm was dismissed as of March 14, 2000. The Registrant's decision to
change auditors was due to the expansion of its business operations and the
board of directors determination that the Registrant required an auditing firm
that has operations nationally and internationally.
Haskell & White LLP had audited the Registrant's financial statements for the
years ended March 31, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999. Their reports on such financial
statements did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were
the reports subsequently modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.
The change in auditors was not due to any discrepancies or disagreements between
the Registrant and Haskell & White LLP on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
As required by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-B promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, Haskell & White LLP has furnished to the Registrant a
letter addresses to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that such
firm agrees with the statements made by the Registrant herein. A copy of such
letter is attached to this form as Exhibit 16.01.
