Item 4.02 Non-Reliance On Previously Issued Financial Statements Or A Related Audit Report Or Completed Interim Report

On January 13, 2004, the Registrant notified the SEC of its election to be treated as a business development company.  All subsequent quarterly and annual reports were prepared using accounting principals applicable to a business development company.  On September 21, 2006, the Registrant withdrew its election to be treated as a business development company.  On October 12, 2007, Registrant filed its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2007.  The SEC has informed Registrant that it feels its financial statements contained in its Form 10-KSB filed on October 12, 2007, were not prepared using accounting principals suitable for a company transitioning from a business development company to an operating company, and therefore should not be relied upon.  Registrant has commenced preparation of restated financials for the year ended June 30, 2007, which would be audited according to appropriate accounting principals and upon which the public could rely.  Registrant and its auditors also discussed the preparation and filing of this Form 8-K.
