(a). The Former Accountant's report did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles during the past two years. The decision to change accountants was recommended and approved by the Company's independent audit committee. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim periods preceding such dismissal, there were no disagreements with the Former Accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which would have caused the Former Accountant to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. Subsequent to the dismissal of Former Accountant, the Company engaged a new accounting firm, Levi, Cahlin & Co., Certified Public Accountants, which was reported on Form 8-K, dated December 23, 2004. The Company has provided its Former Accountant with a copy of this Form 8-K simultaneously with the filing of this Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"). The Company has requested the Former Accountant to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to this item 304(A) and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. The Company shall file the Former Accountant's letter as an exhibit to a report on Form 8-K when received. Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits. (c ) Exhibits.
