ITEM 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
We are filing this Current Report on 8-K/A to report the merger of our
former auditors into a successor entity, which entity will continue as our
independent auditors.
Our independent auditors, Chisholm & Associates, Certified Public
Accountants, informed us that on February 10, 2004, that firm had merged
its operations into Chisholm, Bierwolf & Nilson, LLC and was therefore
effectively resigning as our auditors. Chisholm & Associates had audited
our financials statements for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2002
and 2001 and its reports for each of the two fiscal years did not contain
an adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. There
were no disagreements with Chisholm & Associates on any matter regarding
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure during the past two fiscal years or any
subsequent interim period preceding the date of resignation. Our board of
directors approved the change in auditors.
On February 10, 2004, our board of directors met as a group and determined
to engage Chisholm, Bierwolf & Nilson LLC as our independent auditors to
audit our year ended December 31, 2003 . During the two most recent fiscal
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and through February 10, 2004, we
did not consult with Chisholm, Bierwolf & Nilson, LLC regarding either: (i)
the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either
completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered
on our financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to
us nor oral advice was provided that Chisholm, Bierwolf & Nilson, LLC
concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision
as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any
matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.
