ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On December 15, 2000, the Registrant engaged the firm of Grant Thornton
L.L.P. ("Grant Thornton") as the Registrant's independent certified public
accountants to audit the Registrant's financial statements on an ongoing basis.
At the same time, the Registrant terminated the engagement of Andersen Andersen
& Strong ("Andersen"), previously the Registrant's independent public
accountant. This change in independent certified public accountants was approved
by the Audit Committee of the Registrant's Board of Directors.
Andersen's reports on the Registrant's financial statements during the
two most recent fiscal years did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer
of opinion and were not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles. During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and all
subsequent interim periods preceding the termination of the engagement of
Andersen, there were no disagreements with Andersen on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedure.
The Registrant has provided Andersen with a copy of the disclosures it
is making herein and has requested Andersen to furnish it with a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees
with the statements made by the Registrant herein and, if not, stating the
respects in which it does not agree. A copy of Andersen's letter responsive to
such request is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
Prior to the engagement of Grant Thornton as its independent certified
public accountant, the Registrant did not consult with Grant Thornton or receive
any written or oral advice from Grant Thornton regarding any matter, including
without limitation the application of accounting principles to any transaction,
the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant's financial
statements or any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or reportable
event.
