ITEM 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
At its Board of Directors meeting on July 27, 1999, the Board of Directors of
the Registrant, upon the recommendation of its aduit committee, engaged the
accounting firm of S.R. Snodgrass, A.C. as independent accountants for
Registrant's fiscal year 1999.
During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim period subsequent to
June 30, 1999, there have been no disagreements with Parente, Randolf,
Orlando, Carey & Associates (PROCA) on any matter of accounting principles or
practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure or

PROCA's report on the financial statements for the past two years contained no

is received.
