Item 4.  CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

         On March 4,  1999,  the  Registrant  ended  its  relationship  with its
independent auditors, Lane, Gorman, Trubitt, LLP, effective as of that date.

         There have been no disagreements with Lane, Gorman, Trubitt, LLP on any
matter of accounting principles,  practices,  financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure or any reportable event. The change is being made to
maximize economies of scale relative to acquisitions in process and anticipated.

         The  registrant's  audit  committee  has now engaged Ernst & Young LLP,
effective  March 5, 1999.  The  registrant  has not consulted  Ernst & Young LLP
prior to such appointment with respect to any matter of accounting principles or
practices,  financial statement disclosure,  auditing scope or procedure, or any
disagreement with Lane, Gorman, Trubitt, LLP.

         The registrant has authorized  Lane,  Gorman,  Trubitt,  LLP to respond
fully to the  inquires of Ernst & Young LLP.  Attached  as an exhibit  with this
filing report is the Lane, Gorman,  Trubitt, LLP letter addressed to the SEC, as
required by Item 304 (a) (3) of Regulation S-K.
