Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
(a) At a meeting held on March 11, 2009, the Board of Directors of the
Company, at the recommendation of its Audit Committee, approved the engagement
of Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. as its independent auditors for the fiscal
year ending May 31, 2009, subject to their approval. Rothstein, Kass & Company,
P.C. accepted this engagement on March 18, 2009, at which time the Company's
prior independent auditors, Rosen Seymour Shapss Martin & Company LLP (formerly
Miller Ellin & Company, LLP), were dismissed.
The reports of Rosen Seymour Shapss Martin & Company LLP on the Company's
financial statements for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for
each of the two fiscal years ended May 31, 2007 and 2008, and in the subsequent
interim periods, there were no disagreements with Rosen Seymour Shapss Martin &
Company LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to
the satisfaction of Rosen Seymour Shapss Martin & Company LLP, would have caused
Rosen Seymour Shapss Martin & Company LLP to make reference to the matter in
their report.
The Company has requested Rosen Seymour Shapss Martin & Company LLP to
furnish it with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees
with the above statements which the Company will file as an exhibit in this form
upon its receipt.
(b) The Company has not had any discussions nor received any written
opinion or oral advice from Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. during the two most
recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period with respect to either the
application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either
completed or proposed, or as to the type of audit opinion that might be rendered
on the Company's financial statements.
