Change of Accountants. The firm of Fishbein & Company, P.C. ("Fishbein") audited the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1990 through June 30, 1996. On July 2, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company determined not to appoint Fishbein to audit the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997. On July 3, 1997, pursuant to a vote of the Board of Directors, the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP was selected to audit the financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 1997. The report of Fishbein on the Company's financial statements for the previous years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the entire period of the engagement of Fishbein, through July 2, 1997, there had been no disagreement on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to Fishbein's satisfaction, would have caused Fishbein to make reference in connection with its reports to the subject matter of the disagreement.
