Item 4.01.
Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
 
On January 6, 2010, the board of directors of the Company approved the dismissal of Demetrius & Company, L.L.C. (“Demetrius”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Demetrius’ dismissal was effective immediately.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, Demetrius’ reports on the Company's financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles except, Demetrius’ audit report for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 stated that several factors raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and that the financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the subsequent period through January 6, 2010, (i) there were no disagreements between the Company and Demetrius on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Demetrius, would have caused Demetrius to make reference to the matter in its reports on the Company's financial statements; and (ii) there were no reportable events as the term described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.

On February 26, 2010, the Company provided Demetrius with a copy of the disclosures it is making in response to Item 4.01 on this Form 8-K, and has requested that Demetrius furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of the letter, dated February 26, 2010, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 (which is incorporated by reference herein) to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

On January 6, 2010, the Company engaged Acquavella, Chiarella, Shuster, Berkower & Co., LLP (“Acquavella”) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The change in the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 6, 2010.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the subsequent interim period through January 6, 2010, the Company did not consult with Acquavella regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or an event identified in response to (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
