Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On September 28, 2000, the Registrant dismissed the firm of Margolis &
Company P. C. ("Margolis") as the Registrant's principal independent accountant.
Also on September 28, 2000, the Registrant engaged the firm of Deloitte & Touche
LLP to serve as its principal independent accountant. Such actions were
recommended by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors of the
Registrant.
The report of Margolis on the Registrant's consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal years 1999 and 1998 did not contain an adverse opinion
or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended December
31, 1999 and 1998, and during subsequent interim periods, there were no
disagreements on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to
the satisfaction of Margolis, would have caused Margolis to make reference to
the matter in its report.
The Registrant has provided Margolis with a copy of the disclosures
contained herein and has requested that Margolis furnish it with a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it
agrees with the statements made by the Registrant herein. A copy of the Margolis
letter, dated September 29, 2000, is filed as Exhibit 16.1.
