Item 4.   Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants.
- ------                                                    

          (a)  Effective as of February 6, 1998, Registrant retained the
          services of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. ("Coopers") as Registrant's
          certifying accountant for the performance of accounting and financial
          reporting services. Coopers replaces Thompson Dugan, PC ("Thompson"),
          the accountant that served as the principal independent accountant for
          purposes of auditing Registrant's financial statements and preparing
          financial reports during 1995 and 1996.  Registrant's decision to
          dismiss Thompson was a result of Registrant's decision to engage an
          accounting firm with a national reputation.

          (b)  The reports of Registrant's principal independent accountant on
          Registrant's financial statements for the past two fiscal years
          contain no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not
          qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principals.

          (c)  In connection with Thompson's audits for the years ended December
          31, 1995 and December 31,1996 and the interim period through its date
          of dismissal on February 6, 1998, there have been no disagreements on
          any matter of accounting principals or practices, financial statement
          disclosure orauditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not
          resolved to the satisfaction of Thompson, would have caused it to make
          reference thereto in its reports on the Registrant's financial
          statements for such years.

          (d)  Attached as Exhibit 16 to this Report is a copy of the letter
          from Thompson concurring with the statements in paragraphs (a)-(c),
          above.

          (e)  A decision to change the principal independent accountant was
          approved by Registrant's Board of Directors.
