         Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.


                  Pursuant to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, the Company makes the
following representations:

                    Item 304 (a) (1)

                      (i)  On March 17, 1998, the Company finalized its decision
                           not to retain Votta & Company ("Votta"), Certified
                           Public Accountants, 19 Chestnut Street, Haddonfield,
                           NJ 08033, to audit the Company's financial statements
                           for the year ended March 31, 1998.  The reason for
                           this decision was the Company's desire to retain a
                           larger firm due to its recent acquisition of The Word
                           House Companies and its planned future acquisitions.

                      (ii) Votta's reports on the Company's financial statements
                           for either of the past two years has not contained
                           either an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion,
                           nor was qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
                           audit scope or accounting principles.

                      (iii)The change in accountants was recommended by the
                           Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the
                           Company and was approved by the Board of Directors of
                           the Company.

                      (iv) During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and
                           subsequent interim period up to the date of the
                           change of accountants, there were no disagreements
                           with the former accountants on any matter of
                           accounting principle or practices, financial
                           statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure,
                           which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the
                           satisfaction of Votta, would have caused Votta to
                           make a reference to the subject matter of the
                           disagreement(s) in connection with his report.

                           On March 17, 1998, the Company reached an agreement
                           with Richard A. Eisner & Company, LLP, 575 Madison
                           Avenue, New York, NY 10022-2597 to act as the
                           Company's auditors commencing with the Company's
                           audit for the year ending March 31, 1998.



           Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and 
Exhibits.


                  1.     Letter by the dismissed independent accountants in
                         connection with the disclosure under Item 4. of this
                         Report.
