Item 2.       Inapplicable.

Item 3.       Inapplicable.

Item 4.       Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

              On July 17, 1998 the Registrant engaged KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as
its principal independent accountant to audit its financial statements and
terminated its engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP. This change was recommended
by the audit committee, and approved by the Board of Directors, of the
Registrant.

              The Registrant's Board of Directors concluded that the retention
of KPMG Peat Marwick, which is the principal accounting firm for the controlling
beneficial owner of the Registrant's common stock, Singapore Technologies Pte
Ltd ("STPL"), would be the most prudent course of action. Although the
Registrant's relationship with Deloitte & Touche has been extremely
satisfactory, the Board believes that this step will enable the Registrant to
share in the advantages of scale inherent in its status as a member of the STPL
group.

              Deloitte & Touche's reports on the Registrant's financial
statements for the past two fiscal years have contained neither an adverse
opinion, a disclaimer of opinion nor a qualification or modification as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. There has been no
disagreement, during or subsequent to the Registrant's past two fiscal years,
between the Registrant and Deloitte & Touche on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to their satisfaction, would have
caused Deloitte & Touche to make reference to the subject matter of such
disagreement in connection with its report.

Item 5.       Inapplicable.

Item 6.       Inapplicable.

Item 7.       Inapplicable.

Item 8.       Inapplicable.

Item 9.       Inapplicable.
