INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On May 8, 2000, the Company dismissed Levine, Hughes & Mithuen, Inc. as
the Company's principal accountant. The decision to change accountants was
recommended by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company and
approved by the Board.
The Report of Levine, Hughes & Mithuen, Inc. on the financial
statements of the Company for either of the past two fiscal years ended April
30, 1998 and 1999 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion
nor was it modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The
Company does not believe that there were any disagreements with Levine, Hughes &
Mithuen, Inc. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, during the past two fiscal
years ended April 30, 1998 and 1999 and during the subsequent interim period
through January 31, 2000, which, if not resolved to Levine, Hughes & Mithuen,
Inc.'s satisfaction, would have caused Levine, Hughes & Mithuen, Inc. to make
reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its
Reports.
The Company has requested Levine, Hughes & Mithuen, Inc. to furnish a
letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements
made by the Company, and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not
agree. A letter from Levine, Hughes & Mithuen, Inc. is included as Exhibit 16 to
this Report, stating its agreement with the statements made by the Company in
this Report.
