Item 4. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On August 17, 1995, Registrant's Board of Directors approved the
dismissal of Deloitte & Touche LLP as its independent public accountants, which
dismissal would take effect simultaneously with the Registrant's entering into
an engagement letter with a new independent public accountant. There was no
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or modification as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles contained in the reports of Deloitte &
Touche LLP for either of the past two fiscal years ended December 31, 1994.
During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years ended December
31, 1994 and the subsequent interim period preceding Deloitte & Touche LLP's
dismissal on August 17, 1995, there were no disagreements with Deloitte &
Touche LLP 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 Deloitte & Touche LLP, would have caused
Deloitte & Touche LLP to make reference in connection with its report
concerning the Registrant's financial statements to the subject matter of the
disagreements.
On, August 17, 1995, Registrant's Board of Directors approved the
proposal to engage Margolin, Winer & Evans, LLP to be the Registrant's
independent public accountants for its fiscal year ending December 31, 1995,
which engagement would take effect as of the date the Registrant entered into a
formal engagement letter. On August 17, 1995 the Registrant executed an
engagement letter with Margolin, Winer & Evans, LLP formalizing the terms of
the engagement.
