Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On April 5, 1999, the Registrant selected Boulay, Heutmaker, Zibell &
Co. PLLP to serve as the Registrant's independent auditors for the 1999 fiscal
year and ceased its client-auditor relationship with Deloitte & Touche LLP, the
independent accountant which had been engaged by the Registrant for prior fiscal
years.
There were not, in connection with the audits of the two most recent
fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding the selection of
Boulay, Heutmaker, Zibell & Co. PLLP, any disagreements with Deloitte & Touche
LLP, the independent accountant engaged by the Registrant for prior years, on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Deloitte &
Touche LLP's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject
matter of the disagreement in connection with its report, nor has Deloitte &
Touche LLP's report on the financial statements of the Registrant for the past
two years contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion or been
qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, nor are there
any events requiring disclosure under Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-B.
The decision to change accountants was recommended by the Registrant's
Audit Committee and approved by the Registrant's Board of Directors effective
April 5, 1999.
