Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants
----------------------------------------------
The Registrant announced that it has dimissed Radics & Co., LLC, its
current independent auditors. The Registrant has retained Arthur Andersen, LLP
to serve as its independent auditors. The decision to change auditors was
recommended by the Audit Committee. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000
and 1999 and up to the date of this report, there have been no disagreements
with Radics on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to
the satisfaction of Radics, would have caused it to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports. The
independent auditor's report on the consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 did not contain an adverse opinion
or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or auditing principles.
