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.
