In addition, there were no "reportable events" as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B)1 through 3 of Regulation S-B that occurred within the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding the former accountants' dismissal.

The decision to retain this accountant was approved by the Board of Directors.
