Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

     On  October  17,  2002,   DiSanto  Bertoline  &  Company,   P.C.  ("DiSanto
Bertoline")  resigned as the  Company's  independent  public  accountants.  This
resignation results from DiSanto Bertoline's merger with Carlin, Charron & Rosen
LLP effective October 16, 2002.

     DiSanto Bertoline's  reports on the Company's financial  statements for the
year ended July 31, 2002 did not  contain an adverse  opinion or  disclaimer  of
opinion,  nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty,  audit scope or
accounting principles.

     During the year ended July 31, 2002 and through the date hereof, there were
no disagreements with DiSanto Bertoline on any matter of accounting principle or
practice,  financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which,
if not resolved to DiSanto Bertoline's  satisfaction,  would have caused them to
make  reference  to the subject  matter in  connection  with their report on the
Company's  financial  statements  for such year;  and there  were no  reportable
events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

     The  Company  provided  DiSanto  Bertoline  with  a copy  of the  foregoing
disclosures.  Attached  as  Exhibit A is a copy of DiSanto  Bertoline's  letter,
dated October 17, 2002, stating its agreement with such statements.

     Effective  October  17,  2002,  the  Board  of  Directors,   based  upon  a
recommendation  of its Audit  Committee,  retained  Carlin,  Charron & Rosen LLP
("CCR") as its independent  auditors to audit the Company's financial statements
for the year ending July 31, 2003.  During the year ended July 31, 2002 and 2001
and through the date hereof, the Company did not consult CCR with respect to the
application  of  accounting  principles  to  a  specified  transaction,   either
completed  or proposed,  or the type of audit  opinion that might be rendered on
the Company's financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as
set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
