ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On August 22, 1996, Registrant notified its independent auditors, Grant
Thornton, LLP, of its intention to change independent auditors for the year
ending December 31, 1996. The Registrant's decision to change its independent
auditors was approved by the Board of Directors on August 15, 1996.
The independent auditor's report for the fiscal years ending December
31, 1994 and 1995 contain no adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion, or
qualifications as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During
the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim periods
there were no disagreements between the Registrant and Grant Thornton, LLP on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
The Registrant believes that the change of independent auditors, in
view of new current management and relocation of the Corporation's executive
offices from California to Colorado, will ultimately result in lower
expenditures for their auditing and accounting needs.
