ITEM 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Effective October 5, 1998, the Company engaged McKean, Paul, Chrycy,
Fletcher & Co. ("McKean") as the independent accountants to audit the financial
statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1998, replacing PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (formerly Coopers &
Lybrand LLP), who was dismissed as of October 5, 1998. The selection of McKean
was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP served as the Company's independent auditors for
the fiscal years ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Their report on the
Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997
included a going concern qualification related to the uncertainty surrounding
the repayment of $3.75 million of the Company's bonds scheduled to mature during
fiscal 1998. Such bonds were repaid in August 1998. Their report on the
financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996 did not
contain an adverse opinion nor a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for
each of the two fiscal years ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively,
and in the subsequent interim period preceding PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's
dismissal, there were no disagreements on any matters of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure
which if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make
references to the matter in their report.
During the most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period,
there have been no "reportable events" as defined in Regulation S-K Item
304(a)(1)(v) with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
There were no consultations on matters between McKean and the Company as
defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(2) prior to McKean's acceptance of the new
engagement.
The Company has requested from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") stating that it
agrees with the statements as set forth above, in connection with this filing.
A copy of that letter, dated October 5, 1998, was attached as Exhibit 16(a) to
the initial filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
