ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

(a)   Previous independent accountants.

      (i) On August 30, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Registrant
determined not to engage Ernst & Young LLP ("EY") to audit the Registrant's
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31,
1999. EY did not audit the Registrant's consolidated financial statements as of
and for the year ended December 30, 1997. The Registrant's consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 1997 were audited
by Hein + Associates.

      (ii) The reports of EY on the consolidated financial statements of the
Registrant as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998, contained no adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

      (iii) The management of the Registrant has requested that EY furnish it
with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating
whether or not it agrees with the above statements. Such letter is filed with
this Report as Exhibit 16.

      (iv) During the Registrant's year ended December 31, 1998, and the
subsequent interim period through August 30, 1999, there have been no
disagreements with EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of EY would have caused them
to make reference thereto in their reports on the Registrant's consolidated
financial statements.

(b)   New Independent Accountants.

      On August 30, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Registrant formally
approved the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as its independent accountant
to audit the Registrant's consolidated financial statements as of and for the
year ending December 31, 1999. The decision to change independent accountants
was approved by the Board of Directors of the Registrant.
