ITEM 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS

a) The following sets forth the information required by Item 304(a)(1) of
Regulation S-K:

         (i) On May 13, 2002, Arthur Andersen LLP was dismissed as the
Registrant's independent public accountant.

         (ii) The reports of Arthur Andersen LLP on the Registrant's financial
         statements for the years ended October 31, 2001 and October 31, 2000
         did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were
         not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
         principles.

         (iii) The decision to change accountants was recommended by the
         Registrant's Audit Committee and approved by the Registrant's Board of
         Directors.

         (iv) During the years ended October 31, 2001 and October 31, 2000 and
         through May 13, 2002, there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen
         LLP 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 Arthur Andersen
         LLP, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on
         the financial statements for such periods.

         (v) During the years ended October 31, 2001 and October 31, 2000 and
         through May 13, 2002, there have occurred none of the "reportable
         events" listed in Item 304(a)(1) (v) of Regulation S-K.

(b) The Registrant has requested that Arthur Andersen LLP furnish a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it
agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated May 20, 2002, is
filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
