Item 4.   Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
          ----------------------------------------------

(a)  On May 22, 1997, with the approval of the Registrant's Board of
     Directors and Audit Committee,  the Registrant dismissed Grant Thornton LLP
     as its independent accountants for the year ending December 31, 1997.

(b)  Grant Thornton LLP's reports on the financial statements for the
     past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer
     of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
     audit scope or accounting principles, other than to include in
     their report for the Company's financial statements as of and for
     the year ended December 31, 1996, the following statement: "The
     accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
     assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As
     shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company
     continued to sustain significant losses and use substantial
     amounts of cash in operations during the year ended December 31,
     1996.  These factors, among others, as discussed in note 1 to the
     consolidated financial statements, raise substantial doubt about
     the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
     Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described
     in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any
     adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
     uncertainty."

(c)  During the two most recent fiscal (calendar) years and through the
     date of dismissal (May 22, 1997), there were no disagreements with
     Grant Thornton LLP on any matter of accounting principle or
     practice, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
     procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to Grant
     Thornton LLP's satisfaction, would have caused Grant Thornton LLP
     to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in
     connection with its reports on the Registrant's financial
     statements.

(d)  The  response  letter  from  Grant  Thornton  LLP  required  by Item 304 of
     Regulation S-K is filed as an exhibit to this report.
