Item 4.  CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

     On April  6,  2000,  the  Registrant  selected  Grant  Thornton  LLP as its
principal  independent  accountants,  to  replace  Deloitte  & Touche,  LLP (its
"Former Auditor").

     Registrant  had no  disagreements  with the  Former  Auditor  that,  if not
resolved would have caused the Former Auditor to report the disagreement.

     There has been no adverse  opinion,  disclaimer  of opinion,  or  qualified
opinion in the Former Auditor's report for any of the preceding two years.

     A  letter  from  the  Former   Auditor   stating  its  agreement  with  the
Registrant's  disclosures was filed as Exhibit  2000-2,  with  Registrant's  8-K
filed on March 24, 2000.

     The  decision to select  Grant  Thornton  LLP as  Registrant's  independent
accountants  was  recommended by the Audit  Committee of the Board of Directors,
and approved by the Board.

     On March 30, 2000, Dr. Dinah Corbaci was appointed by Registrant's Board of
Directors as a Class I director,  to fill the vacancy created by the resignation
of Norbert  Teufelberger on September 30, 1999. Dr. Corbaci will serve until her
