ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
---------------------------------------------
(a) On November 8, 1995, the Registrant dismissed BDO Seidman, LLP ("BDO
Seidman") as the Registrant's independent public accountants and auditors, a
capacity in which that firm had served for several years, and selected Arthur
Andersen LLP ("Arthur Andersen") to replace BDO Seidman in this role. The
decision to change the Registrant's accountants and auditors was approved by the
full Board of Directors.
During the most recent two fiscal years and the subsequent period through
November 8, 1995, the date on which BDO Seidman was dismissed as the
Registrant's independent public accountants and auditors, there were no
disagreements between the Registrant and BDO Seidman on any matter relating to
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to BDO Seidman's
satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference in connection with their
reports to the subject matter of the disagreement. In addition, BDO Seidman's
reports on the Registrant's financial statements for the most recent two fiscal
years contained no adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion, nor were such
reports qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
The Registrant has authorized BDO Seidman to respond fully to the inquiries
of Arthur Andersen. The Registrant has provided BDO Seidman with a copy of the
disclosures contained in this Form 8-K, and has requested that BDO Seidman
furnish the Registrant with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Registrant
herein.
(b) On November 10, 1995, the Registrant appointed the accounting firm of
Arthur Andersen as the Registrant's independent public accountants and auditors,
effective immediately.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

accountant.
