Item 4.   CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

     Effective June 5, 2000, the Company's independent public accountants for
fiscal years 1999 and 1998, Arthur Andersen LLP, was disengaged. The Company's
Board of Directors and Audit Committee is currently in the process of
interviewing independent public accountants to serve as auditor for the Company
for fiscal year 2000. The Board of Directors will base its decision with respect
to the independent public accountants to be appointed for fiscal year 2000 upon
the recommendation of the Board's Audit Committee.

     During the two (2) most recent fiscal years and the period of January 1,
2000 through June 5, 2000, there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen LLP
on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved
to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection
with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.  Arthur Andersen
LLP's report on the Company's financial statements for the past two (2) years
contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
