ITEM 4. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
(a) Previous independent public accountants.
(i) On March 3, 1999, the Registrant dismissed Deloitte &
Touche LLP, which served as the Registrant's
independent public accountants since 1994.
(ii) The reports issued by Deloitte & Touche LLP on the
financial statements for the past two fiscal years of
the Registrant did not contain an adverse opinion nor
a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.
(iii) The Audit Committee of the Registrant's Board of
Directors approved the decision to change independent
public accountants.
(iv) In connection with its audits for the two most recent
fiscal years and through March 3, 1999, there were no
disagreement with Deloitte & Touche 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 Deloitte & Touche LLP, would have
caused Deloitte & Touche LLP to make reference thereto
in their report on the financial statements for such
years.
(v) The Registrant has requested that Deloitte & Touche
LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the
Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the
above statements. A copy of such letter, dated March

approved this on March 3, 1999. During the two most recent
fiscal years and through March 3, 1999, the Registrant has
not consulted with Ernst & Young LLP regarding either:
(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 Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of
Regulation S-K and the related instructions to this
Item) or a reportable event identified (as described
