Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
(a) On April 15, 2011 the Company Board of Directors, acting through
the Chief Financial Officer, Igor Dmitrowsky, accepted the resignation
of Mr. Ronald Chadwick, P.C. from his engagement to be the independent
certifying accountant for the Company.
(b) On April 15, 2011, the Company re-engaged Mr. Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA
who had acted as its independent certifying accountant for fiscal year 2008,
to act as the Company's independent registered public accountant beginning
immediately and, specifically, to complete the year-end audit for fiscal
year 2009 and 2010. Since his release on March 10, 2010 to his re-engagement
on this date, neither the Company nor anyone acting on the Company's behalf
hired Mr. Patrick Rodgers, CPA, PA, in any capacity, nor consulted with him
as to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction,
either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be
rendered as to the financial statements, nor was a written report or oral
advice rendered that was an important factor considered by the Company or
any of its employees in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing
or financial reporting issue, or any matter that was either the subject of
a disagreement or reportable event under 304(a)2) of Regulation S-K.
(c) The engagement of a new accountant, and the acceptance of the
resignation of the prior accountant was done by the Chief
Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company,
Mr. Igor Dmitrowsky, with the knowledge and approval of the other
members of the Board of Directors. The Company does not have
an audit committee or any other committee charged with oversight
of financial matters, and has entrusted this responsibility in
its Chief Financial Officer.
(d) Since his engagement and to the date of his resignation, there
have not been, nor are there now, any disagreements between the Company
and Mr. Ronald Chadwick, P.C. with respect to any matter of accounting
principles, practices, financial statement disclosure, auditing scope
or procedure for the reporting and filing completed prior to this
date, nor have there been any "reportable events" as defined
by Regulation S-K section 304(a)(1)(v) during that same period, other
than has been reported and disclosed as required.
(e) Due to this change of certifying accountants, the Company intends to
file its 10-K annual report with unaudited financial statements, and to
file an amended report when the audit is completed.
(f) The Company's prior certifying accountant, Mr. Ronald Chadwick, P.C.
and the newly engaged certifying accountant, Mr. Patrick Rogers, CPA, PA
have each reviewed this disclosure and consented as set forth in exhibit
EX-16.1 submitted herewith.
