ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On August 17, 1998, KPMG Peat Marwick LLP was appointed by the
Registrant's Audit Committee of the Board of Directors as the Registrant's new
independent certified public accountants, replacing Arthur Andersen LLP who was
dismissed by the Audit Committee on August 11, 1998.
During the Registrant's fiscal years ended January 31, 1997 and 1998
and the subsequent interim period, there were no disagreements between the
Registrant and Arthur Andersen LLP 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 Arthur Andersen LLP, would
have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in
connection with their reports. Further, Arthur Andersen LLP's reports on the
financial statements of the Registrant for the fiscal years ended January 31,
1997 and 1998 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and
were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles.
In connection with their audit of the Registrant's financial statements
for the year ended January 31, 1997, Arthur Andersen LLP advised the Registrant
of certain matters that in their opinion evidenced "material weaknesses" in the
Registrant's internal controls necessary to develop reliable financial
statements. These matters were considered by Arthur Andersen LLP during their
audit and did not modify the opinion expressed in Arthur Andersen LLP's audit
report concerning the Registrant's fiscal 1997 financial statements. The
Registrant's Audit Committee discussed these matters with Arthur Andersen LLP
and corrective actions were taken by the Registrant. No such "material
weaknesses" were reported to the Registrant by Arthur Andersen LLP in connection
with their audit of the Registrant's financial statements for the year ended
January 31, 1998. The Registrant has authorized Arthur Andersen LLP to respond
fully to the inquiries of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP concerning all such matters.
The Registrant has requested that Arthur Andersen LLP furnish the
Registrant with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission
stating whether it agrees with the foregoing statements. Arthur Andersen LLP's
letter is filed as Exhibit 1 to this Report.
