The auditing firm of Gelfond Hochstadt Pangburn, P.C., the independent auditors who reported on the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31st, 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31st, 2003 was dismissed effective as of September 1, 2004. Their report was qualified in that the financial statements were prepared assuming that the Company would continue as a going concern. The report stated that the Company’s net loss, stockholders deficit and working capital deficiency as of December 31st, 2003 raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has no audit committee; accordingly, the decision to dismiss accountants was approved by the board of directors. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period there were no disagreements with Gelfond Hochstadt Pangburn, P.C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to their satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with their report.

On September 1st, 2004, the Company appointed Schwartz Levitsky Feldman llp to audit the registrant’s financial statements for th fiscal year ended December 31st, 2004.
