ITEM 4.01 CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
(A) RESIGNATION OF LARRY O'DONNELL, C.P.A., P.C.
On October 20, 2010, we were notified of the upcoming retirement of our
principal independent accountant, Larry O'Donnell, C.P.A., P.C., however,
despite numerous attempts via telephone and e-mail, we were unable to contact
Mr. O'Donnell to confirm this with him. On December 15, 2010 Mr. O'Donnell
contacted the company and an amendment to the Form 8-K was filed on December 29,
2010.
On December 30, 2010 we were advised by the Securities and Exchange Commission
that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) had revoked the
registration of Larry O'Donnell, C.P.A., P.C., on December 14, 2010.
As Larry O'Donnell, C.P.A., P.C. is no longer registered with the PCAOB; we may
no longer include his audit reports in our filings with the Commission. If Larry
O'Donnell C.P.A., P.C. audited a year that we are required to include in our
filings with the Commission, we will be required to have a firm that is
registered with the PCAOB re-audit that year.
LARRY O'DONNELL, C.P.A., P.C. has served as our principal independent accountant
from May 6, 2009 through November 8, 2010.
The principal independent accountant's report issued by Larry O'Donnell, C.P.A.,
P.C. for the year ended March 31, 2010 did not contain any adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and it was not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles, other than their opinion, based on our lack of operations
and our net losses, there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as
a going concern. The financial statements did not include any adjustments that
might have resulted from the outcome of that uncertainty.
We are able to report that during the year ended March 31, 2010 through November
8, 2010 there were no disagreements with Larry O'Donnell, C.P.A., P.C., our
former principal independent accountant, on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which, if not resolved to Larry O'Donnell, C.P.A., P.C.'s satisfaction, would
have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in
connection with its reports on our consolidated financial statements for such
periods. We have requested that he furnish us with a letter addressed to the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not he disagrees with
the above statements and he has provided us with a letter that is attached as
Exhibit 16.

(B) ENGAGEMENT OF MALCOLM L. POLLARD, INC.
On November 8, 2010, upon authorization and approval of the Company's Board of
Directors, the Company engaged the services of Malcolm L. Pollard, Inc. as its
independent registered public accounting firm.
No consultations occurred between the Company and Malcolm L. Pollard, Inc.
during the year ended March 31, 2010 and through November 8, 2010 regarding
either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or
contemplated transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on
the Company's financial statements, or other information provided that was an
important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an
accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was
the subject of disagreement or a reportable event requiring disclosure under
Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.
