ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

    (a)  By letter dated December 12, 1997, the Company terminated Singer Lewak
Greenbaum & Goldstein LLP as independent certified accountants for the Company.

    The Company's former independent certified accountants' annual report
covering the two (2) fiscal years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 did not
include an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.  In connection with the
audits of the two (2) most recent fiscal years and during any subsequent interim
periods preceding such termination, there has not developed any disagreement
between such former independent certified accountants and management of the
Company or other reportable events which have not been resolved to the Company's
former independent certified accountants' satisfaction.  Singer Lewak Greenbaum
& Goldstein LLP had been the Company's independent certified accountants since
approximately August 15, 1996.

    (b)  As of December 12, 1997, the Company engaged KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, as
the Company's independent auditors to replace Singer Lewak Greenbaum & Goldstein
LLP, whose report with respect to the Company's financial statements for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, has been included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

    (C)  EXHIBITS.

    16.1 Letter RE Change in Certifying Accountant of Singer Lewak Greenbaum &
Goldstein LLP, dated December 15, 1997.
