Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants
On June 30, 1998, the Board of Directors selected Richard A. Eisner &
Company, LLP to serve as the Company's independent public accountant for the
year ending December 31, 1998. The selection of such firm will be presented to
stockholders for their approval at the 1998 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In
the event stockholder approval of the selection of such firm is not obtained,

Directors.

the independent public accountant for CSM. Since June 1994, except for
incidental services relating to CSM's financial statements for periods prior to
June 1994, Richard A. Eisner & Company, LLP did not perform any services for the
Company or CSM. At no time since its engagement has Richard A. Eisner &
Company, LLP had any direct or indirect financial interest in or any connection
with the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than as independent
accountant.
The decision to change accountants was made by the Board of Directors.
The Company's independent accountant since its organization in 1992 was Moore
