Item 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On February 11, 2000, Cordovano & Harvey, P.C., the Registrant's
independent accountant for the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years,
resigned. The Registrant's financial statements for the last two years prepared
by Cordovano & Harvey, P.C. contained a "going concern" opinion. Also on
February 11, 2000, the Registrant engaged the accounting firm of Arthur Andersen
& Co. as the Registrant's independent public accountants to audit the
Registrant's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999,
as well as future financial statements, to replace the firm of Cordovano &
Harvey, P.C., which was the principal independent public accountant as reported
in the Registrant's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998 as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This change of independent
accountants was approved by the Board of Directors of the Registrant.
There were no disagreements within the last two fiscal years and subsequent
period with Cordovano & Harvey, P.C. on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Cordovano & Harvey, P.C.,
would have caused that firm to make reference in connection with its reports to
the subject matter of the disagreement or any reportable event.
The Registrant has requested that Cordovano & Harvey, P.C. furnish it with
a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above
statements. A copy of such letter, dated February 11, 2000, is filed as Exhibit
16 to this Form 8-K. The Registrant has also provided Arthur Andersen & Co. with
a copy of this report prior to its filing with the Commission. Arthur Andersen &
Co. had no additional information or comments to address to the Commission in
response to this item.
Item 5. OTHER EVENTS
On February 7, 2000, Mr. Ahmad Fauzi Zahari resigned as a Director,
Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of the Registrant. On February 7, 2000,
Mr. Charles W. Pollard was elected as a Director to fill the vacancy created by
Mr. Ahmad's resignation. On February 7, 2000, Mr. Chee Hong Leong was appointed
