Item 4.01   Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

      On May 3, 2005 the Company retained BDO Seidman, LLP to act as the
Company's independent certified public accountants.

      The change in the Company's auditors was recommended and approved by the
Company's board of directors and audit committee.

      During the two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim period
ending May 3, 2005 the Company did not consult with BDO Seidman, LLP regarding
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 Company's financial statements, or any matter that was the subject of a
disagreement or a reportable event as defined in the regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

      BDO Seidman, LLP has reviewed the disclosures contained in this 8-K
report. The Company has advised BDO Seidman, LLP that it has the opportunity to
furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission concerning any new information, clarifying the Company's disclosures
herein, or stating any reason why BDO Seidman, LLP does not agree with any
statements made by the Company in this report. BDO Seidman, LLP has advised the
Company that nothing has come to its attention which would cause it to believe
that any such letter was necessary.
