  Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
  
       On June 19, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
  recommendation from the  Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors
  (the "Audit Committee") that the Company's independent public accounting firm,
  Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte & Touche"), be dismissed and that the
  independent public accounting firm of Altschuler, Melvoin and Glasser LLP be
  engaged, effective as of June 26, 2001, to audit the Company's consolidated
  financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2001. The Audit Committee
  was formed in August 1985 and is responsible for recommending selection of the
  Company's independent public accountants. The Audit Committee solicited
  proposals to render accounting and tax services to the Company from several
  independent public accounting firms.
  
      During the two most recent fiscal years, there were no disagreements between
  the Company and Deloitte & Touche on any matter of accounting principles or
  practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
  which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP, would have
  caused them to make reference thereto in connection with their reports.
  
      No report of Deloitte & Touche on the financial statements for either of the
  past two years contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion or was
  modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
