Item 4.01  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

     On April 1, 2005,  Radics & Co. LLC,  ("Radics")  merged with Beard  Miller
Company LLP ("Beard  Miller")  to become the Pine  Brook,  New Jersey  office of
Beard Miller.  As a result,  on April 1, 2005,  Radics  resigned as  independent
auditors of the Company.  On April 1, 2005, the Company  engaged Beard Miller as
its successor  independent audit firm. The Company's  engagement of Beard Miller
has been approved by the Company's Audit Committee.

     The  reports  of Radics on the  consolidated  financial  statements  of the
Company as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, and December 31,
2003,  contained  no adverse  opinion  or  disclaimer  of  opinion  and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

     During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,  and in connection  with
the audit of the Company's  financial  statements for such periods there were no
disagreements  between  the  Company  and  Radics on any  matter  of  accounting
principles or practices,  financial statement  disclosure,  or auditing scope or
procedure,  which,  if not resolved to the  satisfaction  of Radics,  would have
caused  Radics to make  reference  to such matter in  connection  with its audit
reports on the Company's financial statements.

     The Company has  provided  Radics with a copy of the above  disclosures  in
response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K in conjunction with the filing of this
Form 8-K.  The Company  requested  that  Radics  deliver to the Company a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange  Commission  stating  whether it agrees
with the statements made by the Company in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation
S-K,  and if not,  stating the  respects  in which it does not agree.  A copy of
Radics letter is filed as Exhibit 16 hereto.

Item 9.01  Financial Statements and Exhibits

(a)  Financial Statements of businesses acquired. Not Applicable.

(b)  Pro forma financial information. Not Applicable.

(c)  Exhibits.
