edgar filing as of April 6,1998 ITEM 9. CHANGE IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On December 9, 1997, the Company dismissed Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") as its
independent accounting firm. E&Y's report on the financial statements for the
past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion,
however, the report was modified to include an explanatory paragraph with
respect to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. During the
Company's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period
preceding such dismissal, there were no disagreements with E&Y on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure. The decision to change accountants was recommended and
approved by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

On December 10, 1997, the Company engaged Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. ("C&L")
as the new independent accountant to audit the Company's financial statements.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim
period prior to engaging C&L, the Company had not consulted C&L
16


regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and no written report
was provided to the Company and no oral advice was provided that C&L concluded
was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to
the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that
was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv)
of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v)
of Regulation S-K).
