Employer incorporation or organization) Identification No.) 38 rue Anatole France, 92594 011-3314-757-9843 N/A Levallois Perret Cedex France (Address of Issuer's principal (Issuer's telephone number, (Zip Code) executive offices) including area code) Not Applicable (Former Name or Former Address, if Changed Since Last Report) Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant. Marcum & Kliegman LLP ("Marcum") has advised the Company that it has resigned as the Company's independent auditors. The Company engaged Marcum on February 16, 2004. As provided in the Engagement Letter, Marcum's Engagement Acceptance Committee declined the engagement because it determined that the engagement failed to meet certain of Marcum's internal acceptance criteria. Marcum never issued a report on the financial statements of the Company nor did it perform any auditing or other services for the Company. There was no disagreement with Marcum 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 Marcum, would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject of that disagreement in any reports on the Company's financial statements had it issued such reports, and none of the events described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred during such period with respect to the Company and Marcum. The Company requested that Marcum furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements in this Item 4. A copy of the response received by the Company to that request is filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K. On March 19, 2004, the Company engaged Weinberg & Company, P.A. ("Weinberg") as its new independent accountants. During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim period preceding the engagement of Weinberg, the Company has not consulted with Weinberg regarding any of the matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-B. The Company's board of directors accepted the resignation of Marcum and the engagement of Weinberg by unanimous written consent dated as of March 19, 2004. Item 7.
