Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On July 13, 2001, the Company was informed by Ernst & Young LLP that they
were resigning as the Company's independent auditors. The Company has not as yet
filed its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended May 31, 2001 or
engaged a successor independent auditor.
The reports of Ernst & Young LLP on the Company's financial statements for
the years ended May 31, 1999 and 2000 did not contain an adverse opinion or a
disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for
each of the two years in the period ended May 31, 2000, and in the subsequent
interim period, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any
matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure,
or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Ernst & Young LLP would have caused Ernst & Young LLP to make reference to the
matter in their report. The Company has requested Ernst & Young LLP to furnish
it a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above
statements. A copy of that letter, dated July 19, 2001 is filed as Exhibit 16.1
to this Form 8-K.
Item 6. Resignations of Registrant's Executive Officers and Directors.
On June 22, 2001, William J. Hancock resigned from the Company's Board of
Directors. On July 12, 2001, C. Kenneth Morrelly resigned from the Company's
Board of Directors and as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. On July 13,
2001, Elizabeth Burke, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, separated her
employment with the Company.
Following the resignation of Mr. Morrelly, Irwin Balaban, Chairman of the
Board of the Company, was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr.
