ITEM 4   CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

         (a)      Previous Independent Accountant

                  (i)      On December 31, 1999, the Company determined not to
                           continue to engage Wiss & Company, LLP, as the
                           Company's independent accountant.

                  (ii)     The reports of Wiss & Company, LLP, on the financial
                           statements of the Company for each of the past two
                           fiscal years ending 12/31/97 and 12/31/98,
                           respectively, contained no adverse opinion or
                           disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or
                           modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
                           accounting principles.

                  (iii)    The decision to change accountants was recommended by
                           the Company's President and was approved by the
                           Company's Board of Directors and shareholders.

                  (iv)     During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and
                           through the date of this report, the Company has had
                           no disagreements with Wiss & Company, LLP, on any
                           matter of accounting principles or practices,
                           financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or
                           procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to
                           the satisfaction of Wiss & Company, LLP, would have
                           caused Wiss & Company, LLP, to make a reference
                           thereto in its report on the financial statements of
                           the Company for such periods, except as follows: In
                           conjunction with the audit for 1998, Wiss & Company,
                           LLP, insisted on the writedown of the stadium and
                           land by $11,545,000 to $900,000 for which there had
                           been extensive disagreement.

                  (v)      The Company has requested that Wiss & Company, LLP,
                           furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities
                           and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it
                           agrees with the above statements. A copy of such
                           letter, dated January 31, 2000, is filed as Exhibit
                           16.1 to this Form 8-K.

         (b)      Engagement of New Independent Accountant.

                  (i)      Murphy & Townsend, LLC, has been engaged by the
                           Company as its new independent accountant to audit
                           the Company's financial statements, effective as of
                           January 1, 2000.

                  (ii)     Prior to the engagement of Murphy & Townsend, LLC,
                           the Company had not consulted with Murphy & Townsend,

                           decision as to the accounting, auditing, or financial
                           reporting issue, or (B) the subject of either a
                           disagreement or a reportable event described in
