Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
---------------------------------------------
BDO Seidman, LLP, the independent public accountants that were
previously engaged as the principal accountant to audit the Company's financial
statements resigned as the Company's principal accountant on November 13, 2000.
During the past five years, BDO Seidman's report on the financial statements has
never (i) contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion; nor (ii) been
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the past five fiscal years, there were no disagreements between the
Company and BDO Seidman, LLP on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which,
if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO Seidman, LLP, would have cause BDO
Seidman, LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement or
disagreements.
The Company has hired KPMG to perform certain accounting services for
the Company, and subject to stockholder approval, to perform an audit of the
Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2001. The
hiring of KPMG was approved by the Board of Directors. During the Company's two
most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim periods prior to the engagement
of KPMG, the Company did not, nor did anyone on the Company's behalf, consult
KPMG regarding either (A) the application of accounting principles to a
specified completed or proposed transaction, or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on the Company's financial statements as to which a written
report or oral advice was provided to the Company that was an important factor
considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing
or financial report issue, or (B) any matter that was the subject of a
disagreement between the Company and BDO Seidman, LLP, or an event described in
paragraph 304(a)(1)(v) of the SEC's Regulation S-K. The Board of Directors has
appointed KPMG as principal accountants for the fiscal year ending April 30,
2001, subject to the ratification of the appointment by stockholders at the
annual meeting.
