Item 4. Changes in the Registrant's Certifying Accountant
-------------------------------------------------
On September 28, 1995, the Company dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP as
its independent accountants. The reports of Arthur Andersen LLP on the
financial statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as
to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. The Company's
Audit Committee participated in and approved the decision to change
independent accountants.
In connection with its audit for the two most recent fiscal years and
through September 28, 1995, there have been no disagreements with Arthur
Andersen LLP on any matter of accounting principle or practice,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Arthur Andersen
LLP, would have caused them to make reference in their report on the
financial statements for such years.
The Company has requested that Arthur Andersen LLP furnish it with a
letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the
above statements. A copy of such letter, dated September 29, 1995, is
filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.
The Company engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP as its new independent
accountants and tax advisors as of September 28, 1995. During the two
most recent years and through September 28, 1995, the Company has not
consulted with Deloitte & Touche LLP on items which (1) were or should
have been subject to SAS 50 or (2) concerned the subject matter of a
disagreement or reportable event with the former auditor (as
described in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(2)).
