ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

     On December 10, 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the engagement of 
Andersen Andersen & Strong, Certified Public Accountants, as independent 
auditors of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1998.  The decision to 
retain Andersen Andersen & Strong, and not to re-engage Marvin B. Seidman, the 
former independent auditor, was made by the Board of Directors on such date 
and was approved by written consent of shareholders owning in excess of 51% of 
the outstanding common shares of the Company on December 15, 1998.  The 
decision not to re-engage Mr. Seidman did not involve a dispute with the 
Company over accounting policies or practices.  The report of Mr. Seidman  on 
the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997, did 
not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it modified 
as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principals.  In connection with 
the audit of the Company's financial statements for such year ended December 
31, 1997, there were no disagreements with Mr. Seidman on any matters of 
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or 
auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Mr. 
Seidman, would have caused such firm to make reference to the matter in its 
report.

     Neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, has consulted Andersen 
Andersen & Strong regarding the application of accounting principles to a 
specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion 
that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither 
written nor oral advice was provided by Andersen Andersen & Strong that was an 
important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any 
accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue.
