ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

(i)   On November 13, 2002, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ('PwC") resigned as the
      Company's independent accountants.

(ii)  PwC's reports on our financial statements for the past two fiscal years
      did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion nor were
      qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
      principle except that PwC's opinion on our 2001 financial statements
      included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt regarding
      our ability to continue as a going concern.

(iii) In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and
      through November 13, 2002, there have been no disagreements with PwC on
      any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
      disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not
      resolved to the satisfaction of PwC would have caused them to make
      reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such
      years.

(iv)  During the two most recent fiscal years and through November 13, 2002, PwC
      has advised management and the audit committee that it had identified one
      material control weakness and two reportable conditions regarding the
      Company's internal accounting controls.

      We have authorized PwC to respond fully to the inquiries of any successor
      independent accountants concerning this matter.

(v)   The Registrant has requested that PwC furnish it with a letter addressed
      to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
