Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On August 17, 1999, the Registrant selected Arthur Andersen LLP to
serve as the Registrant's independent auditors for the 1999 fiscal year and
ceased its client-auditor relationship with McGlradrey & Pullen, LLP, the
independent accountant which had been engaged by the Registrant for prior fiscal
years.
There were not, in connection with the audits of the two most recent
fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding the selection of Arthur
Andersen LLP any disagreements with McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, the independent
accountant engaged by the Registrant for prior years, on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure which, if not resolved to McGladrey & Pullen, LLP's
satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of
the disagreement in connection with its report, nor has McGladrey & Pullen LLP's
report on the financial statements of the Registrant for the past two years
contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion or been qualified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
The decision to change accountants was recommended by the Registrant's
Audit Committee and approved by the Registrant's Board of Directors effective
August 17, 1999.
