Item 4. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On June 20, 2000, the Registrant engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP ("D&T") as the
Registrant's independent accountants for fiscal year 2000, replacing BDO
Seidman, LLP (the "Former Accountants") as the Registrant's independent
auditors. The change was approved by the Registrant's board of directors.
The Former Accountants' report on the Registrant's consolidated financial
statements for each of the past two years did not contain any adverse opinion
or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope
or accounting principles.
During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim
period, there were no disagreements between the Registrant and the former
Accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosures or auditing scope or procedures, nor were there any
"Reportable Events" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.
The Former Accountants' letter to the Commission is filed herewith as Exhibit
1.
Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits

Commission.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
