Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

         Effective  January 22, 1999,  the Registrant  severed its  relationship
with its certifying accountants, KPMG Peat Marwick, LLP ("KPMG"). The action was
recommended and approved by the audit committee of the Registrant.

         KPMG's reports on the  Registrant's  financial  statements for the past
two years  contained no adverse  opinion or disclaimer  of opinion,  and was not
qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

         During  the most  recent  two  fiscal  years and any of the  subsequent
interim periods preceding January 22, 1999, there were no disagreements  between
the  Registrant  and KPMG on any matters of accounting  principles or practices,
financial  statement   disclosure,   or  auditing  scope  or  procedure,   which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused it
to make a reference to the subject  matter of the  disagreements  in  connection
with its reports on the financial statements for such years, except as follows:

         There  was a  disagreement  with  KPMG  concerning  the  amount  of the
         valuation  allowance  for deferred  tax assets at  September  30, 1998.
         Discussions  took place  between  KPMG and the audit  committee  of the
         Registrant.  The dispute  was  resolved  to KPMG's  satisfaction  and a
         valuation allowance of one hundred percent was recorded on the books of
         the Registrant. KPMG has stated that if the valuation allowance had not
         been  recorded,  its  report  on  the  Registrant's  1998  consolidated
         financial  statements would have been modified.  The Registrant has not
         restricted KPMG from responding fully to the inquiries of any successor
         accountant  concerning the subject matter of the disagreement. 

         None of the "reportable  events" described in Item  304(a)(1)(ii) of
Regulation S-K occurred with respect to the  Registrant during the most recent  
two fiscal years and any of the subsequent interim periods preceding January 
22, 1999.

         The  Registrant  provided KPMG with a copy of this report no later than
the date this report was filed with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission and
has requested  that KPMG furnish it with the letter  described in Item 304(a)(3)
of Regulation S-K.

Item 5.  Other Events

         Not Applicable
