This change in independent accountants was approved by the Board of Directors of the Registrant. Through the date of termination of Kerber, Eck & Braechel LLP (January 27, 1999), there were no disagreements within the last two fiscal years and subsequent periods with Kerber, Eck & Braeckel LLP, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of said firm would have caused that firm to make reference in connection with its reports to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) or any reportable events.
