Item 4.    Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountants.

 

(a)                                   Previous Independent Accountants

 

On May 23, 2003, the Company’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s independent public accountants and replaced  Ernst & Young, LLP (“E&Y”) with KPMG, LLP (“KPMG’).

 

The reports of E&Y for the past two fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.  E&Y’s report dated February 7, 2003, makes reference to the restatement of the Company’s previously issued financial statements for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2001.

 

In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and through May 23, 2003, there have been no disagreements with E&Y 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 E&Y, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report on the financial statements for such period.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, and through May 23, 2003, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(v)).

 

E&Y has furnished the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) stating that it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter dated May 30, 2003 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

 

(b)                                  New Independent Accountants

 

The Company has engaged KPMG as its principal independent accountants effective as of May 23, 2003, subject to completion of KPMG’s normal client acceptance procedures.  During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, and through May 23, 2003, the Company has not consulted with KPMG regarding either:  (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related in instructions to that Item) or a reportable event (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
