Item 4 of the registrant's Form 8-K dated June 5, 2000 and filed June 12,
2000 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Item 4. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
Effective June 5, 2000, the Company's independent public accountant for
fiscal years 1998 and 1999, Arthur Andersen LLP, was disengaged. The
Company's Board of Directors and Audit Committee is currently in the process of
interviewing independent public accountants to serve as auditor for the Company
for fiscal year 2000. The Board of Directors will base its decision with respect
to the independent public accountants to be appointed for fiscal year 2000 upon
the recommendation of the Board's Audit Committee. Pursuant to the disclosure
requirements of Item 304(a)(iii) of Regulation S-K, the decision to change
accountants was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors.
During the two (2) most recent fiscal years and the period of January 1,
2000 through June 5, 2000, there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen LLP
on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope of procedure, 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. Arthur Andersen
LLP's report on the Company's financial statements for the past two (2) years
contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
The letter from Arthur Andersen LLP to the office of the Chief Accountant
of the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that Arthur Andersen LLP is in
agreement with the statements contained in the Form 8-K, as amended, filed June
26, 2000 is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1. The letter from Arthur Andersen
------------
LLP to the Company confirming the disengagement of Arthur Andersen LLP dated
June 5, 2000 is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.2.
------------
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant has duly caused this Report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
