(ii) The reports of HRR on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. (iii) The decision to change our independent accountant was approved by our Board of Directors. (iv) In connection with the audits of the our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, and for the subsequent interim periods preceding this dismissal, there were no disagreements with HRR 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 HRR, would have caused HRR to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on our financial statements for such years or interim periods. We have provided a copy of this report to HRR and requested that it furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by us in response to this item. A copy of that letter, dated August 2, 2005 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 of this Form 8-K.

Prior to August 1, 2005, there were no consultations between Sentry and SF regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements.
