ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Tanner + Co., Certified Public Accountants of Salt Lake City, Utah audited the
financial statements of the Registrant for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1999
and 2000. On November 2, 2000 the Registrant was informed by Tanner + Co. that
they had informed the Securities and Exchange Commission that the client/auditor
relationship with the Registrant had ceased. Subsequent to that date Tanner +
Co. agreed to review the 10-QSB for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and
the Registrant reappointed them as certifying independent accountants on
November 15, 2000.
There were no disagreements between the Registrant and Tanner + Co., whether
resolved or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure or auditing scope of procedure, which if not
resolved, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with their reports.
The reports of Tanner + Co. did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, and with the exception of a "going concern" qualification because of
the lack of material operations of the Development Stage Registrant during the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, were not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
The Registrant has provide Tanner + Co. with a copy of the disclosures it is
making in response to this Item and has requested Tanner + Co. to furnish a
letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it
agrees with the statements made by the Registrant and, if not, stating the
respects in which it does not agree. A copy of Tanner + Co.'s response is
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. See Item 7. Exhibit.
