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. A copy of Tanner + Co.'s letter is
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Although such letter
refers to October 27, 2000, Registrant did not receive the letter and learn of
the resignation until November 2, 2000. See Item 7. Exhibit.
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.
Registrant is interviewing for new independent certified public accountants and
will file a subsequent Form 8-K to report their engagement.
