Commenting on the change, Patrick Gouverneur, the Company's president said: "Delays in the development of our business made it difficult to justify the cost of using a large auditing firm like BDO Visura when our needs could be well-served by a smaller firm. In light of the recent burglary at our Pringy facility, the board has concluded that minimizing our cash expenditures is a critical task, rather than a desirable goal. Accordingly, we have elected to dismiss BDO Visura and appoint a new auditor for our year ended December 31, 2002. There were no reportable disagreements with BDO Visura on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. We will request a 15 day extension on our annual report on Form 10-KSB and are confident that we can file the required report within the extension period. Commenting on the recent burglary at the Company's Pringy facility, Mr. Gouverneur said, "We are happy to announce that the burglary is not expected to materially interfere with our existing customer contracts. We have located an unrelated French company that can meet our requirements and negotiated an outsourced manufacturing relationship. Our Thai distributor is satisfied with these new arrangements and has already confirmed that it will pay for its first shipment of filtration powder next week, and expect delivery within 30 days."
