Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On January 20, 2012, Daszkal Bolton LLP, the independent accounting firm previously engaged as the principal accountants to audit the Company’s financial statements (the “Former Accountant”), notified us that it was resigning as the Company’s independent auditors. The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors will be interviewing new independent accounting firms, and we anticipate they will engage a new principal independent auditor promptly.

The Former Accountant’s report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except as follows: The Former Accountant’s reports on the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 contained the following statement: “The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and had negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.”

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the interim period through the effective date of the Former Accountant’s resignation, there have been no disagreements with the Former Accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Former Accountant, would have caused the Former Accountant to make reference to the subject matter thereof in its reports. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the interim period through the effective date of the Former Accountant’s resignation, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Company has provided the Former Accountant with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and requested that the Former Accountant furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with such disclosures. A copy of such letter, dated January 23, 2012, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
