continue as a going concern and management's plans

financial statements as of and for the years ended

for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse

(iii) The Registrant's Audit Committee and Board of
Directors participated in and approved the decision
to change independent accountant.

fiscal years and through July 7, 1997, there have
been no disagreements with McGladrey & Pullen, LLP on
any matter of accounting principles or practices,

procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the
satisfaction of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP would have
caused it to make reference thereto in its report on
