ITEM 4.    CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

        Andersen Andersen & Strong L.C. has audited the Company's financial
statements annually since the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996. Subsequent to
the completion of the audit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, the
Company retained a partner of Andersen Andersen & Strong L.C. to serve as its
Chief Financial Officer. Because it could no longer serve the Company in an
independent capacity for the 1999 fiscal year, the former accounting firm
declined to stand for re-election at the 1998 Annual Meeting of shareholders on
November 24, 1998.

        As of January 15, 1999, the Company engaged the firm of Moss Adams
L.L.P. as its independent accountants for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999.
The Company's Board of Directors approved the change in accountants.

        The reports of Andersen Andersen & Strong L.C. for prior fiscal years
have not contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. There were no
disagreements with the former accountant on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.


        Andersen Andersen & Strong L.C. has furnished the Company with a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that it agrees with
the above statements. A copy of this letter is filed as an exhibit to this Form
8-K.
