ITEM 4.01. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT (a) Dismissal of independent registered public accounting firm On August 7, 2009, Board of Directors of the Registrant dismissed Moore & Associates Chartered ("Moore"), its independent registered public account firm. On the same date, August 7, 2009, the accounting firm of Seale and Beers, CPAs ("Seale") was engaged as the Registrant's new independent registered public account firm. The Board of Directors of the Registrant and the Registrant's Audit Committee approved of the dismissal of Moore and the engagement of Seale as its independent auditor. None of the reports of Moore on the Company's financial statements for either of the past two years or subsequent interim period contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the Registrant's audited financial statements contained in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 a going concern qualification in the registrant's audited financial statements. During the registrant's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods thereto, there were no disagreements with Moore whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Moore's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the registrant's financial statements, nor were there any up to and including the time of dismissal on August 7, 2009. On August 27, 2009, the Company received a letter from SEC stating that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB") revoked the registration of Moore, because of violations of PCAOB rules and auditing standards in auditing the financial statements, PCAOB rules and quality control standards, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and noncooperation with a PCAOB investigation. The SEC's letter also stated that as Moore is no longer registered with the PCAOB and that the Company may no longer include Moore's audit reports or consents in filings with the SEC. The Company has requested that Moore furnish it with an Exhibit 16 letter addressed to the Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. The Company was unable to obtain an amended Exhibit 16 letter from Moore. (b) New independent registered public accounting firm On August 7, 2009, the registrant engaged Seale as its independent accountant. During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim periods preceding the engagement, the registrant has not consulted Seale regarding any of the matters set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
