     This Current Report on Form 8-K/A No. 2 amends the Current Report on Form
8-K filed on September 14, 1998, as amended by the Current Report on Form 8-K/A
filed on September 16, 1998, and is filed to include the letter of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP dated September 23, 1998 as Exhibit 99.2.
  

Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a)(1):
         (i)      On September 9, 1998, the Registrant dismissed
                  PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PWC") as independent public
                  accountants.

         (ii)     PWC's reports on the financial statements of the Registrant
                  for the two fiscal years ended January 1, 1998 contain 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 approved by the Audit
                  Committee of the Board of Directors of the Registrant.

         (iv)     For the two most recent fiscal years ended January 1, 1998 and
                  through September 9, 1998, there has been no disagreement
                  between the Registrant and PWC on any matter of accounting
                  principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
                  auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not
                  resolved to the satisfaction of PWC, would have caused PWC to
                  make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in
                  connection with its reports.

         (v)      During the two most recent fiscal years ended January 1, 1998
                  and through September 9, 1998, the Registrant has not been
                  advised of any matters described in Regulation S-K, Item
                  304(a)(1)(v)(A)-(D).

                  The Registrant has requested that PWC furnish it with a letter
                  addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating
                  whether or not PWC agrees with the above statements. Copies of
                  two letters provided by PWC are filed as Exhibits 99.1 and
                  99.2 to this Form 8-K.

(b)      New Independent Accountants:

         (i)      The Registrant engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte &
                  Touche") as its new independent accountants as of September 9,
                  1998. Prior to such date, the Registrant did not consult with
                  Deloitte & Touche regarding (i) the application of accounting
                  principles to a specified transaction, either completed or
                  proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered
                  on the Registrant's financial statements or (ii) any matter
                  that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in
                  paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions to Item
                  304) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph
                  304(a)(1)(v)).
