ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Upon the recommendation of its board of directors, on April 5, 2000,
Registrant appointed Grant Thornton LLP as Registrant's independent accountants
to replace Ernst & Young, LLP who was dismissed. Ernst & Young LLP's report on
the financial statements for the past two years did not contain an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During Registrant's two
most recent fiscal years, and any subsequent interim period preceding such
dismissal, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction
of Ernst & Young LLP, would have caused Ernst & Young LLP to make reference to
the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.
ITEM 7 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS
(c) Exhibits
16 Letter re Change in Certifying Accountant, will be filed
subsequently when available by amendment to this Form 8-K.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
