In recognition of this pending transaction and anticipated audit efficiencies that could not be achieved in transitioning to Ernst & Young, the President/Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President/Chief Financial Officer recommended to the Board of Directors that Ernst & Young be dismissed and the Registrant's prior auditors (Asher & Company, Ltd.("Asher")) be engaged to complete the 1997 audit. The Board approved these recommendations. (b) On January 6, 1998 management notified Ernst & Young of their dismissal as the Company's independent accountants. During the eight months of its engagement, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures which disagreement(s) would have caused Ernst & Young to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with this report.
