Item 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS
The audit committee of the Company's Board of Directors held a meeting on March
29, 1999 for the purpose of approving the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP as the
Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1999.
Ernst and Young LLP will replace the Company's previous independent auditors,
Zerbo, McKiernan & Zambito LLC. The engagement of Ernst & Young LLP as
successors for Zerbo, McKiernan & Zambito LLC is effective March 30, 1999.
The prior auditors' reports on the Company's financial statements for the past
two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion
and are neither qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for each of
the two fiscal years ended February 28, 1997 and February 28, 1998, and in the
subsequent interim period, there were no disagreements with Zerbo, McKiernan &
Zambito LLC on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to
the satisfaction of Zerbo, McKiernan & Zambito LLC would have caused Zerbo,
McKiernan & Zambito LLC to make reference to the matter in their report.
There have been no reportable events as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304
(a)(1)(v).
Item 7. EXHIBIT
The Company has received the letter attached to this form 8-K as Exhibit 1 from
