INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

Effective January 1, 2008, Edwards Sauer & Owens (“ESO”) merged with Beard Miller Company LLP (“Beard Miller”).  As a result of the merger, ESO ceased to be the independent auditors of the Registrant.  Effective January 1, 2008, the Registrant engaged Beard Miller as its successor independent audit firm.  The Registrant’s engagement of Beard Miller was approved by the Registrant’s Audit Committee. During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period to the date hereof, the Registrant did not consult with Beard Miller regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

ESO's reports on the Registrant's consolidated financial statements for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

In connection with their audits of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and any subsequent interim period preceding the date hereof, there were no disagreements between the Registrant and ESO on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of ESO, would have caused them to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their reports.

The Registrant has provided ESO with a copy of the above disclosures and requested that ESO deliver to the Registrant a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Registrant and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. ESO’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits

(d) Exhibits:

No. Description

16.1      Letter of concurrence from Edwards Sauer & Owens regarding change in certifying accountant.
