Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants.

On April 22, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon the
recommendation of the Audit Committee, directed management to designate Coopers
& Lybrand, LLP for appointment as the Company's principal accountants to audit
the Company's financial statements, pursuant to the Company's Proxy Statement to
its shareholders, dated April 25, 1997 and relating to the Company's annual
meeting to be held May 29, 1997. This designation followed the solicitation of
proposals for accounting services by the Company from several accounting firms,
and the review of those proposals and the accompanying presentations. In
connection with this designation, the Company's existing accountants, Bonadio &
Co., LLP, were dismissed.

(a)(1)(i) The Company's former accountants, Bonadio & Co., LLP, were dismissed
          effective April 22, 1997.

          (ii)      Bonadio & Co., LLP's reports on the Company's financial
                    statements for the past two years did not contain an adverse
                    opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was either such
                    opinion modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
                    accounting principles.

          (iii)     The decision to change accounts was adopted by the Audit
                    Committee of the Board of Directors and by the full Board.

          (iv)      There were no disagreements with Bonadio & Co., LLP on any
                    matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
                    statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

(a)(2)    It is anticipated that Coopers & Lybrand, LLP will be engaged to serve
          as the Company's principal accountants to audit its financial
          statements at the Company's annual meeting, to be held on May 29,
          1997. In connection with its solicitation for proposals the Company
          did not consult with the new accountants regarding either (1) the
          application of accounting principles to a specific completed or
          contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be
          rendered on the Company's financial statements, or (2) any
          disagreements with the Company's prior accountants.

(a)(3)    Attached hereto as Exhibit 16 is a letter from Bonadio & Co., LLP
          regarding the change in the Company's certifying accountants.
