Item 1 through Item 3. Not applicable.
Item 4.
Ernst & Young LLP was dismissed from the audit of FKF, Inc. as of April 3,
1997, due to the merger of the Registrant's Parent Company, Boatmen's
Bancshares, Inc., with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of NationsBank
Corporation on January 7, 1997. The change in accountant occurred because
Price Waterhouse LLP is the primary independent auditing firm of NationsBank
Corporation and its subsidiaries. Ernst & Young LLP has not issued an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of an opinion or a qualified or modified opinion as to
an uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle of the Registrant. The
decision to change accountants was approved by the Registrant's board of
directors on April 3, 1997.
There have been no disagreements with the former accountant on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or
auditing scope or procedures that, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the
former accountant, would have caused them to make reference to the subject
matter of the disagreement in connection with their report in connection with
the audits of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, or any subsequent
period preceding the dismissal.
