Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
- ------ ----------------------------------------------
Due to the acquisition of the Company by TCI Communications,
Inc. ("TCIC"), effective November 1, 1996, the Company
dismissed Price Waterhouse LLP ("Price Waterhouse") as its
independent accountants. Simultaneously, the Company
engaged KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, the independent accountants
of TCIC, to be its new independent accountants. Such change
in independent accountants was not specifically approved by
the Company's Board of Directors.
The reports of Price Waterhouse on the financial statements
of the Company for the seven months ended July 31, 1996 and
for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994
contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and
were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope or accounting principle. In connection with its
audits for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994
and through November 1, 1996 there were no disagreements
with Price Waterhouse on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to
the satisfaction of Price Waterhouse would have caused them
to make reference thereto in their report on the financial
statements for such periods.
