between the Registrant and S.W. Hatfield has ceased.

disagreements between the Registrant and S.W. Hatfield on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure. In addition, there were no disagreements between the
Registrant and S.W. Hatfield on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures for
the December 31, 1999 financial statements. Further, there have been no
