ITEM 4.01
Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On January 18, 2005, the audit committee of the Company recommended and approved the engagement of Carlin, Charron & Rosen LLP of Westborough, Massachusetts as the principal accountant to audit the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Such engagement is subject to the successful completion of customary background checks that have not yet been finalized. The Company has not consulted with Carlin, Charron & Rosen LLP on any matter prior to this proposed engagement. A Current Report on Form 8-K will be filed in accordance with Item 4.01 following the consummation of the engagement. As a result, Mahoney Cohen & Company, CPA, P.C. ("Mahoney Cohen") was notified on January 18, 2005 that its services would not be required in connection with the audit of the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2 004.
Except as described in the following sentence, the reports of Mahoney Cohen on the financial statements of the Company for either of the past two fiscal years did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The report of Mahoney Cohen on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 expressed substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition, during the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through January 19, 2005, there was no disagreement with Mahoney Cohen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Mahoney Cohen, would have caused Mahoney Cohen to make reference to the subject of that disagreement in its reports on the Company's financial statements for those fiscal periods.
Pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company has provided Mahoney Cohen with a copy of this disclosure and requested a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether or not Mahoney Cohen agrees with the statements of the Company set forth herein. Such letter is filed herewith as Exhibit 16.1
