Clancy and Co., P.L.L.C. were dismissed by the Company after the audit for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998. The dismissal was approved by the Board of Directors. Clancy and Co., P.L.L.C. issued an unqualified audit opinion on the 1998 year-end financial statements and modified their audit opinion on the 1997 year-end financial statements to reflect the development stage status of the Company at that time. During the course of their work, the Company and Clancy and Co., P.L.L.C. have not had any disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. The Company has engaged Arthur Andersen LLP as its new independent public accountants effective as of the date of the dismissal of its former accountants. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years prior to the engagement, there have been no consultations with the newly engaged accountants with regard to either the application of accounting principle as to any specific transaction, the type of audit opinion that would be rendered on the Company's financial statements; or any matter of disagreements with the former accountants.
