ITEM 4. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
Effective December 21, 1998, the Company appointed the accounting firm of Arthur
Andersen LLP as the Company's independent public accountants for fiscal 1998 to
replace KPMG Peat Marwick LLP which resigned on that same date. The Company's
Board of Directors approved the selection of Arthur Andersen LLP as independent
public accountants upon the recommendation of the Board's Audit Committee.
During the two most recent fiscal years and the period of January 1, 1998
through December 21, 1998, there were no disagreements with KPMG Peat Marwick
LLP on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved
to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection
with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement. KMPG Peat Marwick
LLP's report on the Company's financial statements for the past two years
contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
