Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
        ---------------------------------------------

     (a) On April 14, 2000,  the Company was informed by Mazars & Guerard,  LLP,
its independent  public accountants that they were resigning as auditors for the
Company.  Mazars & Guerard,  LLP has informed the Company that in its opinion it
could not rely on management's representations,  specifically related to alleged
conflicting  information and difficulty in obtaining  information on an accounts
receivable  due to the Company under a contract  with the Norwegian  Peoples Aid
and The Concorde Trust.  Mazars and Guerard also stated that the resignation was
predicated in part upon their  conclusion that their  independence may have been
impaired  by  management's  threats to initiate  litigation  against  them.  The
Company is in  disagreement  with the  position of Mazars & Guerard,  LLP,  U.S.
since it fully  cooperated  with  Mazars  and  Guerard  in  obtaining  necessary
information.  Further,  it denies having ever threatened Mazars and Guerard with
litigation.

     (b) Except for the  foregoing  alleged  disagreement  regarding the account
receivable which was ultimately  resolved to Mazars and Guerard's  satisfaction,
in connection  with the audit for the Company's  fiscal years ended December 31,
1999 and 1998 and through the date of this report,  there were no  disagreements
with Mazars & Guerard, LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which agreements,
if not resolved to their satisfaction,  would have caused it to make a reference
to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.

     (c) The report of Mazars & Guerard,  LLP for the year  ended  December  31,
1998 does not  contain  an adverse  opinion or a  disclaimer  of  opinion,  or a
qualification  or  modification  as to  uncertainty,  audit scope or  accounting
principles.

     Pursuant to the  requirements  of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant has caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the  undersigned
thereunto duly authorized.
