INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
Item 4. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On March 15, 1995, the Board of Directors of
Registrant approved the engagement of Crowe Chizek and
Company as independent auditors of the Registrant for the
fiscal year ending November 30, 1995. Crowe Chizek and
Company will succeed KPMG Peat Marwick ("KPMG") as
auditors of Registrant.
KPMG's report on the financial statements of
Registrant for the two prior fiscal years did not contain
an adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion, or a
qualification or modification as to audit scope. During
Registrant's last two fiscal years and during the period
from November 30, 1994 through March 15, 1995, (the
"Accounting Period"), there have been no disagreements
between the Registrant and KPMG on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosures or auditing scope or procedure which, if they
were not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have
caused KPMG to make reference to the matter in their
report, and there have been no "reportable events" during
such periods as such term is defined in Item 304(a) of
Regulation S-K.
During the Accounting Period, neither the
Registrant nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted
Crowe Chizek and Company regarding either (i) the
application of accounting principles to any transaction or
the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the
Registrant's financial statements; or (ii) any matter that
was either the subject of a disagreement on an accounting
matter or an event specified in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K.
Registrant has furnished KPMG with a copy of
this report and has requested KPMG to furnish the
Registrant with a letter addressed to the Commission
stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the
Registrant in this report and, if not, stating the
respects in which it does not agree. The Registrant will
file a copy of such letter as an exhibit to this report by
amendment promptly after it is received.
