Changes
in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
|
On
July
16, 2008, the Registrant engaged Singer Lewak Greenbaum & Goldstein LLP
(“SLGG”) as the Registrant’s new independent registered public accounting firm
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. During the Registrant’s past
two fiscal years, neither the Registrant nor any significant subsidiary has
consulted with SLGG regarding any of the matters referenced in Item 304(a)(2)
of
Regulation S-K.
On
July
15, 2008, the Registrant dismissed Raich Ende Malter & Co. LLP (“REM”) as
its independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to change
accountants was approved by the Registrant’s board of directors.
No
report
on the financial statements prepared by REM contained any adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope, or accounting principles.
During
the time REM served as the Registrant’s principal accountant, there were no
disagreements with REM on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of REM, would have caused
REM to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection
with its reports on the Registrant during such periods. None of the events
as
specified in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred during the period
that
REM served as the Registrant’s principal accountant.
Annexed
hereto as an exhibit is REM’s letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission agreeing with the disclosures contained herein pursuant to Item
304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K.
