Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
(a) Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
(i) On October 28, 2011, our Board of Directors voted to dismiss our independent registered public accounting firm, Cordovano and Honeck, LLP., of Denver, Colorado and to replace them with MaloneBailey, LLP, of Houston, Texas . As of that date, MaloneBailey, LLP. formally accepted us as a client for the fiscal 2011 audit and will also re-audit fiscal 2010 because of the revocation of the registration of Cordovano and Honeck, LLP as discussed below. Cordovano and Honeck, LLP. had rendered an opinion on our consolidated financial statements for 2010 and 2009.
(ii) The dismissal of Cordovano and Honeck, LLP. was approved by our Board of Directors.
(iii) During the year ended December 31, 2010 and through October 28, 2011, there were no disagreements between us and Cordovano and Honeck, LLP. with respect to our accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or audit scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Cordovano and Honeck, LLP. would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report. Further, the reports of Cordovano and Honeck, LLP. for the past year did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except as noted above.
(iv) During the years ended December 31, 2010 and through October 28, 2011 there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company furnished Cordovano and Honeck, LLP. with a copy of this Report on Form 8-K prior to filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company also requested that Cordovano and Honeck, LLP. furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of the letter furnished by Cordovano and Honeck, LLP. in response to that request dated October 28, 2011 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report on Form 8-K.
We have authorized Cordovano and Honeck, LLP. to respond fully to inquiries of MaloneBailey, LLP concerning our financial statements.

(b)
|
New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
|
We engaged MaloneBailey, LLP as our new independent registered public accounting firm as of October 28, 2011. During the two most recent fiscal years and through October 28, 2011, the Company has not consulted with MaloneBailey, LLP regarding any of the following:
|
(1)
|
The application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company by MaloneBailey, LLP that MaloneBailey, LLP concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue;
|
|
(2)
|
Any matter that was the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K; or
|
|
(3)
|
Any matter that was a reportable event, as that item is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
|
|
(c)
|
Event Affecting Cordovano and Honeck, LLP
|
On October 13, 2011, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) revoked the registration of Cordovano and Honeck, LLP. because of the firm’s audit partner’s participation in audits while subject to a previous bar.
We have attached an Exhibit 16 letter from Cordovano and Honeck, LLP.
