Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
----------------------------------------------
On July 17, 1996, the Registrant engaged Arthur Andersen LLP
as its independent accountants after dismissing its former
independent auditors, BDO Seidman, LLP. The reports of the
Registrant's former independent auditors on the Registrant's
financial statements for the past two fiscal years did not contain
any adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinions and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles. There were no disagreements with the Registrant's prior
independent auditors during the two most recent fiscal years or any
subsequent interim period prior to July 17, 1996 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 the prior independent auditors,
would have caused them to make reference in connection with their
report to the subject matter of their disagreement. The
Registrant's decision to change independent auditors was
recommended by the audit committee of its Board of Directors and
approved by its Board of Directors.
