(c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit
required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if

PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K,
11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion
thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time
period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
The Form 10-K cannot be completed within the requested time
period due to the additional time required to complete the
financial statements on account of the change in independent
accountants by registrant. Effective February 21, 1999,
Ernst & Young, LLP was engaged as independent accountants
for the Company to replace KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, the
Company's previous accountants. This change in accountants
was disclosed in a Form 8-K, which registrant filed on
February 26, 1999.
