The Company engaged Parente on February 19, 2009 and to date there has been no services proved by Parente to the Company and Parente did not render any audit opinions to the Company during the period of its engagement.  During the period of its engagement, there were no disagreements, as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, nor was there any reportable event within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
