ITEM 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

         (a) The audit report of Gulian & Company for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, filed as part of the Registrant's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, was filed by the
Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission without obtaining the
signature of Gulian & Company. The Registrant filed an Amendment to its Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 to remove the
audit report of Gulian & Company, to identify the financial statements filed as
part of the Annual Report as unaudited, and to clarify that they are the
responsibility of management and contain all necessary adjustments.

         Article 2 of Regulation S-X requires a company's financial statements
to be audited by an accountant who is duly registered and in good standing as a
certified public accountant under the laws of his place of residence or
principal office. On May 20, 1996, the Securities and Exchange Commission
advised the Registrant that its auditor, Charles J. Davitian, was no longer a
certified public accountant duly registered and in good standing as such under
the laws of the State of New York. Mr. Davitian recommended that the Registrant
engage Gulian & Company to audit its financial statements for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996. In August, 1996, the Company believed that it engaged
Gulian & Company, a certified public accountant licensed by the State of New
York, to audit its financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1996,
although no written engagement letter was executed.

         In August and September, 1996, Yervant Gulain of Gulian & Company
spent several days at the Registrant's offices working with Mr. Davitian and
the Registrant's internal accounting personnel for the purpose of completing
the audit. On or about September 27, 1996, Mr. Gulian verbally authorized the
Registrant to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission the financial
statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 audited by Gulian & Company,
although he stated that he had some questions with respect to Berwyn Holdings,
Inc., a subsidiary of the Registrant. Mr. Gulian agreed to the filing of the
Registrant's financial statements with his conformed signature and advised the
Registrant that when he received certain information concerning Berwyn
Holdings, Inc., he would provide the Registrant with a signed original opinion
letter for its files. Mr. Gulian and the Registrant agreed that if the
information he requested concerning Berwyn Holdings, Inc. required, the
Registrant would file an Amendment to the financial statements filed with its
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.

         Notwithstanding numerous attempts to meet with Mr. Gulian following
the filing of the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996, in an attempt to resolve any questions he may have had,
Mr. Gulian refused to meet with the Registrant and has refused to sign the
original audit opinion.


         The Securities and Exchange Commission has recently advised the
Registrant that the State of New York has no record that Gulian & Company is
licensed to practice as a certified public accountant in the State of New York
and therefore was not qualified to audit the Registrant's financial statements
under Rule 2-01(a) of Regulation S-X. Until so informed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the Registrant was not aware that Gulian & Company was not
a licensed certified public accountant in the State of New York, and the
Registrant would not have engaged Gulian & Company to audit the Registrant's
financial statements if the Registrant was aware of this fact. The New York
State Education Department has advised the Registrant that Yervant Gulian has
been licensed as a certified public accountant since May 9, 1996. The
Registrant does not know why Gulian & Company refused to issue an audit report,
however, it now appears that the reason may have been because Gulian & Company
was not licensed as a certified public accountant by the State of New York.
Gulian & Company denies that it audited the Registrant's financial statements
or that it was engaged to do so.

         Except as previously disclosed herein, during the Registrant's fiscal
years ending June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1996, and any subsequent interim period
through the date of resignation of Gulian & Company, there were no
disagreements with Gulian & Company 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 Gulian & Company
would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with its report.

         Charles J. Davitian, CPA resigned as the principal accountant to audit
the Registrant's financial statements in May, 1996 as soon as the Registrant
became aware that Mr. Davitian was no longer licensed as a certified public
accountant in compliance with Article 2 of Regulation S-X. The report of
Charles J. Davitian, CPA on the Registrant's financial statements for the
fiscal years ending June 30, 1994 and June 30, 1995, did not contain an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. The decision to change
accountants was approved of by the Board of Directors of the Registrant.

         During the Registrant's fiscal years ending June 30, 1994 and June 30,
1995, and any subsequent interim period proceeding such resignation, there were
no disagreements with Charles J. Davitian, CPA 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 Charles
J. Davitian, CPA, would have caused him to make a reference to the subject
matter of the disagreements in connection with his report.

         (b) On June 9, 1997, the Registrant engaged Israeloff, Trattner & Co.,
certified public accountants, 11 Sunrise Plaza, Valley Stream, New York 11580,
to audit its financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997 and
June 30, 1996. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996,
or during any subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of Israeloff,

Trattner & Co., the Registrant did not (nor did someone on its behalf) consult
with Israeloff, Trattner & Co. regarding either: (i) the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed,
or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant's
financial statements, and neither written nor oral advice was provided to the
Registrant that was an important factor considered by the Registrant in
reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting
issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or event
identified in paragraphs (a)(1)(iv) or (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
