ITEM 4. Changes In Registrant's Certifying Accountants.
On July 1, 1997 the Registrant changed independent accountants from
Ernst & Young LLP to KPMG Peat Marwick LLP. The reports of Ernst & Young LLP on
the financial statements for the past two fiscal years did not contain an
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion nor were either qualified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. The decision to change
accountants was approved by the audit committee of the board of directors and by
the board of directors. During the registrant's two most recent fiscal years and
during the two most recent interim periods preceding such change, there were no
disagreements with Ernst & Young 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 the former accountant,
would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the
disagreements in connection with its report.
