Item 4 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS.
On September 1, 1998, the company dismissed its independent
accountants, Arthur Andersen, LLP and engaged a new independent accountant,
Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company, to audit the financial statements for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. The decision to change accountants was
approved by the company's board directors.
The reports on the financial statements of the company for the past two
years and the subsequent interim period through September 1, 1998, the date of
dismissal, do not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimers of opinion, nor
were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles and there were no disagreements or reportable events with the former
accountant.
This change in the company's accountants was due to the registrant's
desire to reduce cost. There were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen, LLP on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
