Item 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
Effective December 27, 1999, the registrant and KPMG Accountants, N.V.
("KPMG"), the independent accounting firm engaged as the principal accountant to
audit the registrant's financial statements, ceased their relationship. Such
decision resulted from the registrant's desire to reduce its costs. In addition,
and in response to KPMG's suggestion, in an effort to expedite its SEC reporting
process thereby allowing the registrant's auditors additional time to complete
their reports, the registrant plans to retain an accounting firm based in the
U.S. KPMG's report on the registrant's financial statements for each of the past
two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles. During the registrant's two most recent fiscal years and any
subsequent interim period preceding December 27, 1999 there were no
disagreements with the former accountant on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former
accountant, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreements in connection with its report.
Currently, the registrant is in the process of selecting a new
independent accountant, as the principal accountant to audit the registrant's
financial statements.
