Dismissal of Registrant's Former Accountants The registrant's former independent accountants, Deloitte & Touche LLP, with principal offices located at 100 Peachtree Street, Suite 1700, Atlanta, Georgia 30303, were dismissed on July 22, 1997 as approved by the registrant's Board of Directors. Their Independent Auditors' Report (the "Report") issued by Deloitte & Touche LLP on December 16, 1996 auditing the registrant's Consolidated Balance Sheets and related Financial Statements for the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 expressed an uncertainty regarding the registrant's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters were expressed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the Report was prepared on a going concern basis.

Specifically, the former accountants had not advised the registrant that: a. internal controls were unreliable, b. the former accountants could not rely on management's representations, c. the former accountants needed to expand the scope of its audit, and that any information had come to the former accountants' attention that it had concluded materially impacts the fairness or reliability of either (i) a previously issued Audit Report on the underlying financial statements or (ii) subsequent reports to be issued had not the former accountants been dismissed. The registrant's decision to replace its former accountants was based solely on considerations of cost containment and logistics. -2- Engagement of New Independent Accountants Plante & Moran, LLP, with principal offices located at 350 South Main Street, Suite 200, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104, were engaged on July 22, 1997.
