ITEM 4.01  CHANGES IN REGISTRANTS CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT


On April 3, 2018, the Company dismissed Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, PC (PSH) as its independent registered accounting firm and engaged Heaton & Company, PLLC, dba Pinnacle Accountancy Group of Utah (Pinnacle), as its new independent registered accounting firm.


Since PSHs appointment as our independent registered accounting firm on June 1, 1998 and through February 23, 2018, which included its audits of our financial statements and reviews of Forms 10-K for the years ended December 31, 1998 through 2016, and reviews of the quarterly Forms 10Q for the three months ended June 30 and September 30, 1998, and the first three quarters of the years ended December 31, 1999 through 2017, there were (i) no disagreements between the Company and PSH on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PSH, would have caused PSH to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years, and (ii) no reportable events as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.


The Company provided PSH with a copy of this Form 8-K and requested that PSH furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not PSH agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated April 3, 2018 is attached as Exhibit 16.1.


During years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and in the subsequent interim period through April 3, 2018, the Company has not consulted with Pinnacle regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Companys financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Pinnacle concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
