ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

         The Registrant has engaged the accounting firm of KPMG
LLP to serve as the Registrant's new principal independent
accountant. KPMG LLP replaces Merdinger, Fruchter, Rosen & Corso,
P.C. as the Registrant's principal auditor.

         The dismissal of the firm of Merdinger, Fruchter, Rosen
& Corso, P.C., was approved by the Board of Directors of the
Registrant on February 21, 2002.

         The former accountant's report on the financial
statements for each of the past two fiscal years did not contain
an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles.

         During the two most recent fiscal years and the
subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal of Merdinger,
Fruchter, Rosen & Corso, P.C. there were no disagreements with
the former accountant on any matters of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreement(s), if any, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of the former accountant would have caused it to
make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s), if
any, in connection with its reports.

         The firm of KPMG LLP was engaged by the Board of
Directors as the new certifying accountants on March 4, 2002.

         A letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission from the former accountant stating its agreement with
the disclosures made in this filing is filed as an exhibit
hereto.
