Associates, P.S. ("Hatfield") resigned as the Company's
independent auditors as a result of disagreements on matters of
accounting principles and practices, financial disclosure, and
reportable events.
At its board meeting on October 14, 1996, the Board of Directors
of the Registrant engaged Terrence J. Dunne, Certified Public
