ITEM 1            Not applicable

ITEM 2            Not applicable

Item 3            Not applicable.

Item 4         On January  5, 2000,  Harper,  Van Scoik &  Company,  LLP,  the
               independent   accountant  who  was  previously   engaged  as  the
               principal   accountant  to  audit  the   registrant's   financial
               statements,  resigned.  The principal accountant's reports on the
               financial  statements  for the past two years did not  contain an
               adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified
               or  modified  as  to  uncertainty,   audit  scope  or  accounting
               principles.  The decision to accept the accountant's  resignation
               was approved by the registrant's  board of directors.  During the
               registrant's  two most  recent  fiscal  years and the  subsequent
               interim   period   preceding   such   resignation,   there   were
               disagreements  with the former  accountant  on (a) the amount and
               method of valuing certain  unregistered and restricted  shares of
               stock of the  registrant  that were  issued to attract and retain
               key employees,  to acquire various license agreements and to make
               acquisitions   and   for   development    needs   and   (b)   the
               appropriateness  of the  method of revenue  recognition  employed
               with respect to a  transaction  involving  related  parties.  The
               board of directors of the registrant discussed the subject matter
               of these  disagreements  with  the  former  accountant,  and both
               matters were  subsequently  resolved to the  satisfaction  of the
               former  accountant  in  connection  with the former  accountant's
               audit of the  registrant's  financial  statements  for the fiscal
               year ended  December 31, 1998.  The registrant has authorized the
               former  accountant  to  respond  fully  to any  inquiries  of the
               registrant's  successor accountant  concerning the subject matter
               of these  disagreements.  There were no other  disagreements with
               the former  accountant on any matter of accounting  principles or
               practices,  financial  statement  disclosure or auditing scope or
               procedure,   which  disagreement(s),   if  not  resolved  to  the
               satisfaction  of the former  accountant,  would have caused it to
               make  reference to the subject matter of the  disagreement(s)  in
               connection  with its report.  The  registrant  has  provided  the
               former  accountant  with a copy of the  disclosures  it is making
               herein no later than the day that the  disclosures are filed with
               the Commission and has requested the former accountant to furnish
               it with a letter  addressed to the Commission  stating whether it
               agrees with the statements made by the registrant  herein and, if
               not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.

Item 5            Not applicable

Item 6            Not applicable.

Item 7            Not applicable.

Item 8            Not applicable.

                                   Signatures

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