ITEM 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On June 1, 2004, the Registrant's former independent accountants,
Ehrenkrantz Sterling & Co. LLC ("Ehrenkrantz"), merged with the firm of Friedman
Alpren & Green LLP. The new entity, Friedman LLP ("Friedman"), has been retained
by the Registrant and its Board of Directors approved this decision on June 7,
2004.
For the period since Ehrenkrantz's appointment through June 7, 2004, there
have been no disagreements with Ehrenkrantz on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Ehrenkrantz would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report.
For the period since Ehrenkrantz's appointment through June 7, 2004, there
have been no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).
The Registrant has requested that Friedman, as successor-in-interest to
Ehrenkrantz, furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or
not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of Friedman's letter, dated June
7, 2004, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.
For the period since Ehrenkrantz's appointment through June 7, 2004, the
Company did not consult with Friedman Alpren & Green LLP regarding any matter
that was the subject of a "disagreement" with Ehrenkrantz, as that term is
defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to
Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or with regard to any "reportable event," as that
term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except as such
consultations as may have been made with former employees of Ehrenkrantz who are
now employees of Friedman.
The Registrant has provided Friedman with a copy of these statements.
