ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

On July 10, 2002, Ernst & Young LLP (the “Auditor”) notified the Registrant that the client-auditor relationship between the Registrant and the Auditor will cease upon the Auditor’s completion of its interim review of the Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2002.

In accordance with Item 304(a)(1) of Regulation S-K, the Registrant hereby provides the following additional information:

	1.		The Auditor voluntarily has resigned effective on the date its interim review of the Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2002 is completed;

	2.		Neither of the Auditor’s reports on the financial statements of the Registrant for the most recent two fiscal years contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion by the Auditor, nor were such opinions qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the Auditor’s opinion for the 2001 fiscal year contained an explanatory paragraph that related to the Registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern; and

	3.		During the Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding the Auditor’s resignation, there were no disagreements between the Registrant and the Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.

In connection the preparation of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Registrant has complied with the provisions of Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. A copy of the Auditor’s acknowledgement letter to the Registrant is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
