ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT. This amendment is being filed to substitute a corrected accountant's letter as an Exhibit. On January 6, 2004, upon recommendation and approval of the Company's Board of Directors, the Company dismissed Travis, Wolff & Company, LLP ("Travis Wolff") and engaged Holtz Rubenstein & Co., LLP ("Holtz") as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. Travis Wolff's reports on the Company's financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and through the date of this 8-K, there were no disagreements with Travis Wolff on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which if not resolved to Travis Wolff's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on the Company's financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. The Company has provided Travis Wolff with a copy of the foregoing statements. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of Travis Wolff's letter dated January 7, 2004, stating its agreement with such statements. During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and through the date of this 8-K, the Company did not consult Holtz with respect to the application of accounting principles as to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS. (c) Exhibits 16.1 Letter from Travis, Wolff & Company, LLP to the Securities and Exchange Commission dated as of January 7, 2004.
