Item 4.01  Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
 
Hogan & Slovacek, P.C., the firm that has served as our independent registered public accounting firm, announced that it is combining with the firm of Tullius Taylor Sartain & Sartain LLP, on January 7, 2009.  As a result, Hogan & Slovacek has resigned as our accounting firm as of January 7, 2009, and our audit committee engaged the successor firm, which is named HoganTaylor LLP, on January 7, 2009, to serve as the principal accountant to audit our financial statements for the current fiscal year.  The respective employees, partners and shareholders of the merged firms have become employees and partners of HoganTaylor which will continue the practices of each of the merged firms.  Hogan & Slovacek will remain in existence solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs but will not engage in any public accounting practice.
 
While HoganTaylor is technically a new firm, because it is a successor firm to our prior accountants, we do not consider this a substantive change of accounting firms.  Also, as this is a newly created firm, there have been no pre-engagement consultations or contacts with HoganTaylor.
 
The reports of Hogan & Slovacek regarding our financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2007 and 2008 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.  During the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, and during the period from October 1, 2008 through January 7, 2009, the date of resignation, there were no disagreements with Hogan & Slovacek on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Hogan & Slovacek would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in connection with its report.
 
We provided Hogan & Slovacek with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested that Hogan & Slovacek furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree.  A copy of the letter, dated January 14, 2009, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 (which is incorporated by reference herein) to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
