for the past two years did not  contain an adverse  opinion or a  disclaimer  of

accounting  principles.  There were no other reportable  events or disagreements
with Grant to report in  response  to Item  304(a) of  Regulation  S-B.

         On July 26,  1999,  Holtz  Rubinstein  & Co.,  LLP was  engaged  as new
independent  accounts on the  Registrant  with  respect to the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999.
