Item 4. Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
On March 15, 2004, the Company dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PWC) as its independent public accountants and appointed Grant Thornton (Grant Thornton) as its new independent public accountants. The decision to dismiss PWC and to retain Grant Thornton was made by the Companys Audit Committee. The decision to dismiss PWC did not involve a dispute with the Company over accounting policies or practices.
The reports of PWC on the Companys financial statements for each of the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Companys two most recent fiscal years and through March 15, 2004, there were no disagreements with PWC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to PWCs satisfaction, would have caused PWC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years.
During the Companys two most recent fiscal years and through March 15, 2004, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company has provided PWC with a copy of this Item 4 disclosure and has requested that PWC review such disclosures and provide a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission as specified by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. Such letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the subsequent interim period up to March 15, 2004, the Company did not consult with Grant Thornton regarding (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 registrants financial statements, and either a written report was provided to the registrant or oral advice was provided that the new accountant concluded was an important factor considered by the registrant in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event, as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
