ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
As of March 27, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company has elected to
dismiss Evers & Company Ltd. as its certifying accountant and replace Evers &
Company with KPMG Peat Marwick, pending completion of the necessary client
approval process. The client approval was complete as of April 11, 1997.
This change has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors, and is a
result of the Company's desire to utilize the services of a national accounting
firm. There is no time in the past two years that the former accountant's
report on the financial statements contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer
of opinion, or was modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles.
During the two most recent fiscal years and through March 27, 1997, preceding
the dismissal of Evers & Company, there were no disagreements with said
former accountants 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 said former accountants,
would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreements in connection with their reports.
During the two most recent fiscal years, and any subsequent interim period
prior to engaging KPMG Peat Marwick, neither the Company nor someone on its
behalf consulted with KPMG Peat Marwick regarding (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 Company's financial
statements, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or
a reportable event.
