Item 4. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
Effective May 22, 1998, Singer Lewak Greenbaum & Goldstein LLP, the
Registrant's Certifying Accountant for the past two fiscal years, were
replaced. Hein & Associates LLP, Certified Public Accountants, were engaged to
serve as the Registrant's new auditors. The selection of Hein & Associates
LLP, was approved by the Audit Committee of the Registrant's Board of
Directors.
Singer Lewak Greenbaum & Goldstein LLP's report on the financial
statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and 1997 contained an
explanatory paragraph regarding the Registrant's ability to continue as a going
concern. Singer Lewak Greenbaum & Goldstein LLP's reports have not contained
an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or were qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. Nor has there been any
disagreement with Singer Lewak Greenbaum & Goldstein LLP on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing
scope or procedure. Singer Lewak Greenbaum & Goldstein LLP has not advised the
Registrant that the internal controls necessary for the Registrant to develop
reliable financial statements do not exist. Nor has Singer Lewak Greenbaum &
Goldstein LLP advised the Registrant that information has come to their
attention that has led them to no longer be able to rely on management's
representations, or that has made them unwilling to be associated with the
financial statements prepared by management. Singer Lewak Greenbaum &
Goldstein LLP has not advised the Registrant of the need to expand
significantly the scope of their audit, or that information has come to their
attention that if further investigated may materially impact the fairness or
reliability of either: a previously issued audit report or the underlying
financial statements; or the financial statements issued or to be issued
covering the fiscal period(s) subsequent to the date of the most recent
financial statements covered by an audit report (including information that may
prevent them from rendering an unqualified audit report on those financial
statements), or cause them to be unwilling to rely on management's
representations or be associated with the Registrant's financial statements.
Nor has Singer Lewak Greenbaum & Goldstein LLP advised the Registrant that
information has come to their attention that they have concluded materially
impacts the fairness or reliability of either (i) a previously issued audit
report or the underlying financial statements, or (ii) the financial statements
issued or to be issued covering the fiscal period(s) subsequent to the date of
the most recent financial statements covered by an audit report (including
information that, unless resolved to the accountant's satisfaction, would
prevent it from rendering an unqualified audit report on those financial
statements). Nor has Singer Lewak Greenbaum & Goldstein LLP advised the
Registrant of any other reportable event.
The Registrant has provided Singer Lewak Greenbaum & Goldstein LLP with a
copy of the disclosure contained herein and has requested that Singer Lewak
Greenbaum & Goldstein LLP provide the Registrant with a letter addressed to the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether they agree with the
disclosure. Singer Lewak Greenbaum & Goldstein LLP has provided such a letter,
which is attached hereto as an Exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
