On August 30, 1996, BDO Seidman, LLP informed the Company that it was
resigning from its position as the Company's accounting firm effective
immediately.
Since the term of BDO Seidman, LLP's engagement, which became
effective July 28, 1995, the reports of BDO Seidman, LLP on the
financial statements for the past fiscal year ended December 31, 1995
contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principle except that they were modified as to uncertainty as
follows, "As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company has a significant interest in Baltic
International Airlines which has incurred losses from operations that
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty."
In connection with its audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995
and through August 30, 1996, there have been no disagreements with
BDO Seidman, LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO Seidman, LLP
would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on
the financial statements for such years.
The Registrant has requested BDO Seidman, LLP to furnish it with a
letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the
above statements. A copy of such letter, dated September 9, 1996, is
