Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants
----------------------------------------------
The Registrant announced that it will replace Radics & Co., LLC,
its current independent auditors. The Registrant has retained Arthur Andersen,
LLP to serve as its independent auditors. The decision to change auditors was
recommended by the Audit Committee. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000
and 1999 and up to the date of this report, there have been no disagreements
with Radics on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to
the satisfaction of Radics, would have caused it to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports. The
independent auditor's report on the consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 expressed an unqualified opinion.
The Registrant issued a press release on January 19, 2001 announcing results for
the year ended December 31, 2000.
