ITEM 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
At a meeting held on October 5, 1995, the Board of Directors
of the Company approved the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP
as its independent auditors for the fiscal year ending May 31, 1996 to
replace the firm of Ernst & Young LLP, who declined to stand for
reelection as auditors of the Company on October 5, 1995 effective
October 6, 1995. The audit committee of the Board of Directors
approved the change in auditors on October 5, 1995. The Company's
decision was necessitated by certain contractual obligations
undertaken by Ernst & Young LLP in relation to the closure of its
Cedar Rapids, Iowa office.
Ernst & Young LLP's reports on the financial statements of the
Company for the past two years did not contain any adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified as to audit
scope, or accounting principles. Ernst & Young LLP's report on the
financial statements as of and for the year ended May 31, 1995 was
modified as to uncertainty with regard to the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years, and in the
subsequent interim period through October 5, 1995, there were no
disagreements between Ernst & Young LLP and the Company regarding
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures, which if not resolved to
the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP would have caused Ernst & Young
LLP to make reference to the matter in their report. There were no
"reportable events" as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 16 is a letter addressed to the
Commission from Ernst & Young LLP, stating that it agrees with
the above statements.
