Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with Squar Milner during the period from January 1, 2005 through the date of Squar Milnars engagement as the Companys new independent accountants (April 9, 2007) regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Companys financial statements, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except that, subsequent to the date of Grant Thorntons resignation (March 27, 2007), in connection with the possible engagement of Squar Milner, the Company did discuss with Squar Milner the circumstances of Grant Thorntons resignation, including Grant Thorntons informing the Company of the need to significantly expand the scope of its audit of the Companys financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, considered a reportable event under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
