Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
(a) On September 27, 1995, the Registrant terminated Deloitte
and Touche LLP as its independent accountant. Deloitte
and Touche LLP's report on the Company's financial
statements did not contain, for either of the past two
years, an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor
was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, auditing
scope or accounting principles.
The decision to change accountants was recommended by the
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and approved by
the entire Board based upon such recommendation.
During the years 1993 and 1994 and the portion of the
year 1995 up to the date of termination, there were no
disagreements with Deloitte and Touche LLP on any matter
of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction
of Deloitte and Touche LLP, would have caused it to make
reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in
connection with its report.
(b) On September 27, 1995, Arthur Anderson was engaged
as the new independent accountant for the Company to be
the principal accountant to audit the Registrant's
financial statements.
Pursuant to the requirement of the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on
its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
