ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

(a)(1)   Previous independent accountants

         (i)     On May 8, 1996, the Registrant dismissed Ernst & Young LLP
                 ("Ernst & Young") as its independent accountants.

         (ii)    The reports of Ernst & Young on the Registrant's financial
                 statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse
                 opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or
                 modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
                 principle, except that the 1995 Report of Ernst & Young
                 contains an explanatory paragraph with respect to a going
                 concern uncertainty.

         (iii)   The Registrant's Board of Directors participated in and
                 approved the decision to change independent accountants.

         (iv)    In connection with its audits of the Registrant's financial
                 statements for each of the two years ended December 31, 1995,
                 and the subsequent interim period through May 8, 1996, except
                 as stated in the remainder of this paragraph, there were no
                 disagreements with Ernst & Young on any matter of accounting
                 principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
                 auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the
                 satisfaction of Ernst & Young would have caused Ernst & Young
                 to make reference thereto in its report.  Ernst & Young has
                 advised the Registrant that (a) on December 19, 1995, the
                 Registrant indicated to Ernst & Young that it desired to
                 reflect the operating results of an acquired business as of
                 January 1, 1996, even though the business combination would
                 likely be completed subsequent to that date and would be
                 contingent upon the consummation of a public offering of the
                 Registrant's equity securities and other conditions, and (b)
                 Ernst & Young orally advised the Registrant at that time that
                 generally the operations of an entity acquired in a purchase
                 business combination would be reflected from the date that the
                 transaction was completed.  On April 29, 1996, the Registrant
                 consummated the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of The Village
                 at Breckenridge Resort (the "Resort"), effective as of January
                 1, 1996 (the "Effective Date").  The Registrant's Form 10-QSB
                 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 (the "Form 10-QSB")
                 includes the operating results of the Resort from the
                 Effective Date of the Acquisition.  Ernst & Young was not
                 engaged to and did not assist the Registrant in preparing the
                 Form 10-QSB.

(a)(2)   New independent accountants

         (i)     On January 11, 1996, the Registrant engaged Ehrhardt Keefe
                 Steiner & Hottman P.C. ("EKS&H") to audit the financial
                 statements for the two most recent fiscal years of the Resort
                 for inclusion in the Registrant's registration statement on
                 Form SB-2.  On April 29, 1996, the Registrant consummated the
                 Acquisition.  On





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3
                 May 8, 1996, the Registrant engaged EKS&H as its new
                 independent accountants.  In connection with such engagement,
                 the Registrant engaged EKS&H to, and EKS&H assisted the
                 Registrant in, preparing the Form 10-QSB and orally advised
                 the Registrant that the Form 10-QSB could include the
                 operating results of the Resort from the Effective Date of the
                 Acquisition pursuant to Paragraph 93 of APB Opinion No. 16.
                 As described above, Ernst & Young has advised the Registrant
                 that (a) on December 19, 1995, the Registrant indicated to
                 Ernst & Young that it desired to reflect the operating results
                 of an acquired business as of January 1, 1996, even though the
                 business combination would likely be completed subsequent to
                 that date and would be contingent upon the consummation of a
                 public offering of the Registrant's equity securities and
                 other conditions, and (b) Ernst & Young orally advised the
                 Registrant at that time that generally the operations of an
                 entity acquired in a purchase business combination would be
                 reflected from the date that the transaction was completed.

         (ii)    The Registrant has requested that EKS&H review the disclosure
                 required by this Item and has provided EKS&H with an
                 opportunity to furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC
                 containing any new information, clarification of the
                 Registrant's views or the respects in which it does not agree
                 with the statements made in response to this Item.  Pursuant
                 to Item 304(a)(2)(ii)(D) of Regulation S-B, a copy of such
                 letter is filed as Exhibit 16.2 to the Form 8-K/A.

(a)(3)   Former accountant's letter

         The Registrant has requested that Ernst & Young furnish it with a
         letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the
         statements made by the Registrant.  Pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of
         Regulation S-B, a copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the
         Form 8-K/A.
