On May 16, 2006, we dismissed Clifton D. Bodiford, CPA as our independent registered public accounting firm and engaged Elliott Davis, LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm.
The reports of Clifton D. Bodiford, CPA on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 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, nor was there any event of the type requiring disclosure under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. In connection with its audits for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and during the subsequent interim period preceding our dismissal of Clifton D. Bodiford, CPA , there were no disagreements with Clifton D. Bodiford, CPA on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure that, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Clifton D. Bodiford, CPA, would have caused Clifton D. Bodiford, CPA to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.
We have provided Clifton D. Bodiford, CPA with a copy of the disclosures contained in this report, and have requested Clifton D. Bodiford, CPA to furnish us a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter, dated May 18, 2006 is filed as Exhibit 16.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the subsequent interim period preceding the engagement of Elliott Davis, LLC, we did not consult with Elliott Davis, LLC regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction or any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event. We also did not consult with Elliott Davis, LLC regarding the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements.
Our audit committee participated and approved the decisions to change our independent auditors.
