<P align=justify>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<FONT face="TimesNewRomanPSMT,Times New Roman,Times,serif">Effective August 1, 2008, we engaged Gordon, Hughes &amp; Banks, LLP as our independent registered firm of Certified Public Accountants, with the approval of our board of directors. Accordingly, we dismissed Hein&amp; Associates LLP, the previous auditor, effective August 1, 2008. Hein&amp; Associates LLP&#146; report on the financial statements as of and for the year ended February 29, 2008 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles save and except for a &#147;going concern&#148; qualification provided with the overall audit opinion. The decision to change independent auditors was based on an economic need to reduce our audit fees which we believe will be possible by engaging a firm that has a client base similar to our Company. Gordon, Hughes &amp; Banks was not consulted on any matter relating accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, the type of an audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements or a reportable event. From May 1, 2007 through the subsequent year ended February 29, 2008, and since that year end, there were no disagreements with Hein&amp; Associates LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Hein&amp; Associates LLP, would have caused Hein&amp; Associates LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on our consolidated financial statements for such periods. We provided Hein&amp; Associates LLP with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the SEC, and requested that they furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether they agree with the statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and if not, stating the aspects with which they do not agree. A copy of the letter provided from Hein&amp; Associates LLP is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K and no disagreement was reported.</FONT></P>
