Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On February 9, 2000, the Registrant replaced Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y")
as its principal independent accountants and engaged Edward Isaacs & Company LLP
("Isaacs") as its new principal independent accountants to audit the
Registrant's financial statements. The decision to change accountants was
recommended and unanimously approved by the audit committee of the board of
directors of the Registrant.
The reports of E&Y on the Registrant's financial statement for the past
two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and
neither statement was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles. During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the subsequent interim period preceding
the replacement of E&Y, there were no disagreements with E&Y on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
E&Y, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreements in their report. There were no "reportable events" as that term is
described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K with respect to the Registrant
during the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim
period preceding the replacement of E&Y.
