Item 4.
By letter dated January 13, 1997, the registrant advised the company's
independent accountants, Zeller Weiss & Kahn, Mountainside, New Jersey, that
such firm would not be engaged to conduct an audit of the registrant's
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996. On January 14,
1997, the registrant signed an engagement letter with the firm BDO Seidman LLP,
Spokane, Washington, engaging such firm as the registrant's independent
accountants with respect to the audit of its financial statements for such
year.
The selection of BDO Seidman to succeed Zeller Weiss & Kahn as the registrant's
independent accountants was approved by the board of directors of the
registrant in June of 1996, with the recommendation of the audit committee of
the board. The selection was also approved by the shareholders of the
registrant at a special meeting of shareholders held on July 31, 1996.
The change in independent accountants was precipitated by the relocation of the
registrant's executive offices to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, which neighbors
Spokane, in early 1996. During the registrant's two preceding fiscal years,
there were no disagreements with Zeller Weiss & Kahn on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure. During either of the past two years, Zeller Weiss & Kahn's
reports on the financial statements of the registrant did not contain an
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
