ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Effective July 10, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the
engagement of Corbin & Wertz Certified Public Accountants as its independent
auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2000 to replace Ernst & Young
Deutsche Allgemeine Treuhand AG Wirtschaftsprufungsgesellschaft (Ernst & Young)
who declined to stand for reelection.
The report of Ernst & Young on the Company's financial statements for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 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.
In connection with the audit of the Company's financial statements for the six
months ending June 30, 1999, and in the subsequent interim period, there were no
disagreements with Ernst & Young on any matters of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures
which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young would have caused
Ernst & Young to make reference to the matter in their report. The Company has
requested Ernst & Young to furnish it a letter addressed to the Commission
stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter,
dated July 14, 2000 is filed as Exhibit 1 to this Form 8-K.
EXHIBITS

CONCURRENCE WITH THE STATEMENTS MADE BY THE REGISTRANT IN THIS CURRENT
REPORT.
