ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On June 22, 1998, the Company engaged the firm of Haskell & White LLP, as
its independent certifying accountants.
Prior to the engagement of Haskell & White LLP, management of the Company
discussed with representatives of Haskell & White LLP issues relating to the
Company's disagreement with its former auditors. Such issues principally
involved the procedures taken by the Company in response to the Company's
discovery of possible inaccuracies in previously reported financial results, and
accounting principles relating to the proper recognition of income for
transactions occurring in prior fiscal periods, including the year ended March
31, 1997 and subsequent fiscal quarters. However, Haskell & White LLP was not
requested to, and did not, provide advice with respect to any accounting and
reporting matters including resolutions to the issues discussed above.
SIGNATURES
