EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Company is filing this Amendment No. 2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 1, 2009 (“Original Report”) to include the letter from Davis Accounting Group P.C. to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that they agreed with the disclosures made herein as Exhibit 16.1.

Item 4.01        Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
 
The Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2009 were audited and the audit report, dated March 19, 2009, were issued by Davis Accounting Group P.C.(a.k.a, Ethania Audit Group P.C. ). ("Davis") The licenses of Mr. Edwin Reese Davis Jr. and Davis lapsed on September 30, 2008 and were formally revoked as of November 4, 2010 by the Utah Division of Occupational & Professional Licensing.

Accordingly, the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Annual Report for the fiscal year 2009 are not considered to be audited. The Company intends to have the financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm that is duly licensed and in good standing and is registered with PCAOB and to amend the Form 10-K to include the auditor report from this independent registered public accounting firm.
 
The Company had no knowledge that Davis 's license in Utah lapsed until 2011.During the time when Davis was retained by the Company, Davis represented that it was in good standing;
 
The Company is not aware of any other information at this time which leads it to believe that its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 are materially incorrect in any way;
 
The Company is in the process of engaging its current auditor, BDO Limited, to perform a re-audit of the Company's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 to confirm the accuracy of those financial statements.
 
Previous Independent Accountants

On December 1, 2009, Davis resigned as our registered independent public accounting firm.

The audit reports of Davis on our financial statements for each of the past two fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, and 2008, contained no adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
 
During our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, and 2008, and through the date of this report, we have had no disagreements with Davis 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 Davis, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in its report on our financial statements for such periods.
 
During our two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, and 2008, and through the date of this report on Form 8-K, there have been no reportable events as defined under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC.
 
We provided Davis with a copy of this disclosure before its filing with the SEC. We requested that Davis provide us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements, and we received a letter from Davis stating that it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of this letter is filed as an exhibit to this report.
  
New Independent Accountants
 
On December 1, 2009, our Audit Committee of the Board of Directors approved the appointment of BDO Limited, the Hong Kong member firm of the BDO International network (“BDO”), as our new registered independent public accounting firm, effective as of December 1, 2009, for the year ending December 31, 2009, and to conduct review engagements on the Company’s non-annual quarterly financial statements on an ongoing basis thereafter.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of our engagement of BDO, we did not consult with BDO regarding either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)), during the two most recent fiscal years.

Prior to engaging BDO, BDO did not provide our Company with either written or oral advice that was an important factor considered by our Company in reaching a decision to continue the appointment of BDO as our new registered independent public accounting firm.
