ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
As previously reported by registrant, on December 10, 2003, registrant
entered into a Stock Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement"),
providing for a number of transactions that will result in a change in the
control of registrant. It is expected that the transactions contemplated by the
Exchange Agreement will be consummated on January 13, 2004, following approval
of certain amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation of registrant by the
stockholders thereof at a special meeting to be held on January 12, 2004.
On January 7, 2004, in connection with the pending change in control, the
registrant selected a new independent certified public accountant, Kevin G.
Breard, CPA, An Accountancy Corporation, to replace the Company's previous
accountants, McGladrey & Pullen, LLP. The decision to change accountants was
made by the Board of Directors of registrant, in order for registrant to retain
the accountant who certified the financial statements of Arrowhead Research
Corporation, which will be deemed the "acquirer" of registrant pursuant to the
transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement. The reports of McGladrey &
Pullen, LLP on registrant's financial statements as of September 30, 2002 and
2003, and for each of the fiscal years in the 2-year period then ended,
contained an explanatory paragraph concerning substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to remain a going concern"". However, during this 2-year
period, there were no disagreements with the former accountants on any matter of
accounting principles and practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS.
