<P>ITEM 4. CHANGE OF REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT </P></B>
<P>(a) On May 21, 2004, the accounting firm of Chavez and Koch. was dismissed by
the Registrant's Board of Directors as the Registrant's independent auditors.
During the two most recent fiscal years and interim periods, there were no
disagreements on matters of accounting principles and practices, financial
disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure between the Registrant and Chavez and
Koch; Chavez and Koch were dismissed because the Company determined that it was
in its best interests for purposes of expediency and convenience to retain a
different auditor, Malone and Bailey, PLLC.</P>
<P>(b) The Report of Chavez and Koch on the Registrant's financial statements as
of and for the year ended June 30, 2003 and from inception did not contain an
adverse, qualified or disclaimer of opinion. However, the Report did contain an
explanatory paragraph wherein Chavez and Koch expressed substantial doubt about
the Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern.</P>
<P>(c) The Registrant has requested Chavez and Koch to furnish it with a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it
agrees with the statements made by the Registrant in response to this Item 4
and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. The Registrant
delivered a copy of this Form 8-K report to Chavez and Koch on May 25, 2004 via
facsimile.&nbsp;Chavez and Koch&nbsp;have&nbsp;not yet replied to the facsimile;
when they do so we will promptly amend this form 8-K and file it.</P>
<P>(d) At its board meeting on May 21, 2004, the Board of Directors of the
Registrant engaged Malone and Bailey, PLLC, 2925 Briarpark,&nbsp;Houston, Texas,
as its independent auditor for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2004. Malone and
Bailey accepted such appointment on May 25, 2004. Prior to their appointment,
the Registrant did not consult with Malone and Bailey on any matters related to
accounting or the type of opinion they may issue.</P>
