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.
