(the "Company") announced the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company to audit the Company's books and records for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. The firm McGladrey & Pullen, LLP had served as the Company's auditors during fiscal 1992, and since then they have continued as the Company's accountant of record but did not provide any substantive services, due to cost considerations only. On October 1, 1997, the Company made the decision, effective on that date, to not reappoint McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, and to appoint Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman & Company as the Company's accountant. The appointment will be submitted for ratification to the Company's Shareholders at their next annual meeting. The decision of the Board of Directors of the Company was based on the recommendation of its Audit Committee and was prompted by cost considerations only. In its announcement, the Company emphasized that there have been no disagreements between the Company and McGladrey and Pullen, LLP. Their accountant's report on the 1992 financial statements, the last statements actually audited, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, although the report contained an emphasis paragraph related to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, with which the Company was in agreement.
