Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant On or about January 14, 2004, the Company elected to dismiss Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell ("HBM") as its independent auditors. The decision to change auditors was recommended by the Company's Board of Directors. Subsequently, the Company's Board of Directors elected to retain HJ & Associates, LLC ("HJ") as its independent auditors. The report of HBM on the financial statements of the Company for the two fiscal years prior to the dismissal did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that reports contained an explanatory paragraph that expressed that substantial doubt existed regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. During the Company's two fiscal years preceding the change in auditors and all subsequent interim periods preceding such change in auditors, there was no disagreement with HBM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountant, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report; nor has HBM ever presented a written report, or otherwise communicated in writing to the Company or its board of directors the existence of any "disagreement" or "reportable event" within the meaning of Item 304 of Regulation S-B. The Company has authorized HBM to respond fully to the inquiries of the Company's successor accountant. The Company provided HBM with a copy of this disclosure before it was filed and HBM has provided the Company with the letter required by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulations S-B which is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1. Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits a. Financial statements of businesses acquired Not applicable. b. Pro forma financial information Not applicable. c.
