Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
- -----------------------------------------------------
At a meeting held on December 15, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company
approved the engagement of Ernst & Young L.L.P. as its independent auditors for
the fiscal year ending March 31, 1998 to replace Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., who
were dismissed as auditors of the Company. The audit committee of the Board of
Directors approved the change in auditors on December 15, 1997.
The reports of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. on the Company's financial statements
for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer
of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for each of
the two fiscal years ended March 31, 1997, and in the subsequent interim period,
there were no disagreements with Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. on any matters of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Coopers &
Lybrand L.L.P. would have caused Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. to make reference to
the matter in their report. The Company has requested Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P.
to furnish it a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees
with the above statements. The text of that letter dated December 22, 1997 is
filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.
