Effective as of November 4, 2008 (the Effective Date), Raich, Ende, Malter & Co. LLP

Systems, Inc. hereinafter, the Registrant.
REMs report on the Registrants financial statements for the past two (2) fiscal years, as well as the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
The dismissal of the independent registered public accountants was approved by the Registrants Board of Directors effective as of the Effective Date.
During the Registrants most recent two (2) fiscal years, as well as the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, there were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.
During the Registrants most recent two (2) fiscal years, as well as the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, REM did not advise the Registrant of any of the matters identified in Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A) - (D) of Regulation S-K.
The Registrant has requested REM to furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Registrant and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
Appointment of New Independent Accountants
Effective as of the Effective Date, the Board of Directors of the Registrant approved the engagement of Weaver & Martin, LLC (W&M) as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Registrants financial statements.
