ITEM 4.      CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

             On December 19, 1996, Price Waterhouse LLP ("Former Auditors")
resigned as Registrant's independent accountant.  In its reports for
Registrant's 1995 and 1994 fiscal years, the Former Auditors expressed
"substantial doubt about the Registrant's ability to continue as a going
concern."  During the 1995 and 1994 fiscal years and the interim period through
December 19, 1996, there were no disagreements between Registrant and the
Former Accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreement, 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.

             Registrant has provided the Former Auditors with a copy of the
disclosures being reported in this report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with
the Commission.  A copy of the Former Auditors' letter response to this item is
attached as an exhibit to this report.

             On March 5, 1998, the Board of Directors of Registrant engaged
Olsen, Thielen & Co., Ltd. ("Principal Accountant") as Registrant's new
independent auditors to audit Registrant's financial statements for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1997.  Registrant had not, prior to
such engagement, consulted the Principal Accountant regarding any financial
statement matters, or otherwise, of Registrant.

             Registrant has provided the Principal Accountant with a copy of
the disclosures being reported in this report on Form 8-K prior to its filing
with the Commission.  The Principal Accountant had no additional information or
comments to address to the Commission in response to this item.

ITEM 7.      (c) Exhibits.

             The exhibits filed as a part of this report are listed on the
Index to Exhibits on page 4 of this report, which index is incorporated in this
Item 7(c) by reference.
