Changes in Certifying Accountant
ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS
On January 25, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved the dismissal of
its principal accountant, Epstein Weber Conover, CPA, P.C. of Scottsdale,
Arizona. The former accountant's reports for the previous last two years
reflected an uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. For the previous two years and any subsequent interim period preceding
the dismissal, there were no disagreements with Epstein Weber Conover on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Epstein Weber Conover would have caused Epstein Weber Conover to make reference
to the matter in their reports.
On January 25, 2005, the Company engaged Sallman Yang & Alameda, CPA, Certified
Public Accountants of Pleasanton, California as its new Certifying Accountant.
The Company did not have any consulting arrangements with Sallman, Yang &
Alameda, Certified Public Accountants during the previous two fiscal years prior
to their appointment.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
