Item 4.

(a) The Registrant had engaged Ernst & Young, LLP., Atlanta ("Ernst & Young") as
its new independent public accountants on April 25, 1997. Ernst & Young had not 
to date begun an audit of the Registrant. On December 23, 1997, the Registrant
announced the signing of a letter of intent to be acquired by NewCare, Inc.
(NASDAQ: NWCA) of Atlanta, Georgia. In recognition of this pending transaction
and anticipated audit efficiencies that could not be achieved in transitioning
to Ernst & Young, the President/Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice
President/Chief Financial Officer recommended to the Board of Directors that
Ernst & Young be dismissed and the Registrant's prior auditors (Asher & Company,
Ltd.("Asher")) be engaged to complete the 1997 audit. The Board approved these
recommendations.

(b) On January 6, 1998 management notified Ernst & Young of their dismissal as
the Company's independent accountants. During the eight months of its
engagement, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing
scope or procedures which disagreement(s) would have caused Ernst & Young to
make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with
this report.

(c) The Registrant engaged Asher as its new independent accountants on 
January 9, 1998.

(d) The Registrant previously filed a Form 8-K dated May 1,1997 reporting the
dismissal of Asher & Company, Ltd. and the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP on
April 25, 1997 as its independent auditors. That Form 8-K is incorporated by
reference.
