Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
Previous independent accountants.
On November 10, 1998, Deloitte & Touche LLP resigned as the Registrant's
independent accountants. In connection with its audits of the Registrant's
financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years and through November
10, 1998, the Registrant has not had any disagreements with Deloitte & Touche
LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved
to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP, would have caused them to make
reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such years.
The independent auditors' report included in the Registrant's financial
statements for the year ended March 31, 1998 expressed an unqualified opinion
and included an explanatory paragraph concerning certain factors which raise
substantial doubt about the Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern.
The independent auditor's report dated May 9, 1997 (June 2, 1997 as to the last
paragraph of Note 5) included in the Registrant's financial statements for the
year ended March 31, 1997 expressed an unqualified opinion. During the two most
recent fiscal years and through November 10, 1998, there have been no reportable
events, as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v). The Registrant shall
provide Deloitte & Touche LLP with a copy of this Form 8-K no later than the day
that this Form is filed with the SEC. Deloitte & Touche LLP has furnished the
Registrant with a letter addressed to the SEC stating that it agrees with the
above statements. A copy of the letter is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.
