Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

On March 26, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the appointment of Dohan and Company, CPA's, P.A. ("Dohan") of Miami, Florida, as our new independent auditors effective March 27, 2003, and the termination of Davidson & Company ("Davidson") as the principal accountant engaged to audit the Company's financial statements. The change in the Company's certifying accountant was due to the Company requiring a United States registered accountant is needed to audit our financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2001, and from the date of appointment of Davidson as the Company's independent accountant on August 7, 2001, and through the date of this report, (i) there were no "reportable events," as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, and (ii) we did not, and nobody on our behalf has, consulted Dohan regarding any of the accounting and auditing matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.

The report of Davidson on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report contained an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The change of Davidson was effective as of March 27, 2003, and was approved by our directors, and was not due to any disagreement between us and Davidson.

Page 60



During the year ended December 31, 2001, and from the date of appointment of Davidson as the Company's independent accountant on August 7, 2001, and the subsequent interim periods preceding Davidson's dismissal, there were no disagreements with Davidson on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Davidson's, would have caused Davidson to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. We have authorized Davidson to respond fully to any subject matter with respect to our financial statements.

We have not been advised by Davidson of any of the following:

a) lack of internal controls necessary for us to develop reliable financial statements;

b) any information that has come to the attention of our independent accountants that has lead them to no longer rely on management's representations or that has made them unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management;

c) any need to expand significantly the scope of their audit or information that has come to their attention during the fiscal years prior to and preceding the change in independent accountants that, if further investigated, would:

(i) materially impact the fairness or reliability of the previously issued independent accountants' report or the financial statements issued or covering such period; or

(ii) cause Davidson to become unwilling to rely on management's representations or that has made them unwilling to be associated with our financial statements, or due to the dismissal of Davidson or any other reason, Davidson did not so expand the scope of the audit or conduct such further investigation; or

d) any information that has come to the attention of Davidson that has lead them to conclude that such information materially impacts the fairness or reliability of the audit reports or the financial statements issued covering the two fiscal years prior to and preceding the change in the independent accountants (including information that, unless resolved, to the satisfaction of such independent accountant, would prevent it from rendering an unqualified audit report on those financial statements ) and due to the dismissal of Davidson or any other reason, any issue has not been resolved to such independent accountants satisfaction prior to the dismissal of Davidson.

The Company provided Davidson with a copy of the letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") prior to filing it with the Commission. The Company requested that Davidson furnish the Company with a letter to the Commission stating whether Davidson agrees with the foregoing disclosure.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Under Florida Law, indemnification of officers and directors is permissible when a director performs his or her duties in good faith, in a manner the director believes to be in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders and has met the requisite standard of care.

Article 10 of our Articles of Incorporation states that to the fullest extent permitted by law, no director or officer of the corporation shall be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the corporation or its shareholders.

Article 9.01 of our Bylaws provides that our corporation shall indemnify all directors and officers of our corporation for such expenses and liabilities, in such manner, under the circumstances and to such extent as permitted by the Florida Business Corporation Act, section 607.0850 as now enacted or hereafter amended. Unless otherwise approved by the board of directors of our company, our company shall not indemnify any employee of our corporation who is not otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to section 9.01 of our bylaws.

Page 62



Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
