Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
Effective October 6, 2003, Deloitte and Touche, LLP ("D&T") and the Company
agreed that D & T would not continue as its principal accountants.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2002 and for the year ended March 31,
2002, D&T `s opinion on its audited report expressed doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's agreement to not continue D&T 's engagement as its principal
accountants was approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
In connection with the audits as of and for the nine month's ended December 31,
2002 and as of and for the year ended March 31,2002 and through June 30, 2003,
there were no disagreements with D&T on any matters of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreement, if not resolved to D&T 's satisfaction, would have caused D&T to
make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its
reports.
During the two most recent fiscal periods and through June 30,2003 there have
been no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).
The Registrant has requested that D&T furnish it with a letter addressed to the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it
agrees with the above statements. A copy of D & T's letter, dated October 10,
2003 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
On October 7, 2003, the Company appointed Marcum & Kliegman, LLP as the
Corporation's new principal accountants for the fiscal year 2003 subject to
their normal new client acceptance procedures. Prior to its appointment, the
Registrant did not consult with Marcum & Kliegman, LLP regarding matters or
events set forth in Items (a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-B of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.
