ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

a) In a Unanimous Written Consent of the Board of Directors dated as of April
1, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Registrant approved the engagement of
the accounting firm of Mengel, Metzger, Barr &  Co. LLP as independent auditors
for the Registrant and its subsidiaries. The audit relationship between the
Registrant and its past auditors was terminated as of April 22, 1997.

b) During the two most recent fiscal years there have been no disagreements
with Deloitte & Touche LLP on any matter of accounting principals or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure or any
reportable events.

c) Deloitte & Touche LLP's report on the financial statements for the fiscal
year ended January 28, 1996 noted substantial doubt as to the Registrant's
ability to continue as a going concern. The Registrant has advised Deloitte &
Touche LLP that this is not the reason for the termination of the audit
relationship.

d) The Registrant has requested and Deloitte & Touche LLP has furnished the
Registrant with the letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission
stating that it agrees with the statements made by the Registrant in response
to this Item 4. The letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP is attached hereto as
Exhibit 16. The Registrant delivered a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K
to Deloitte & Touche LLP on April 28, 1997
