Items to be Included in this Report
PWC's reports on our consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were those reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the year s ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 and through June 8, 2005, we did not have any disagreements with PWC on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure that, if not resolved to PWC's satisfaction, would have caused PWC to make references to the subject matter in connection with PWC's reports on our consolidated financial statements for those years.
In addition, we believe there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S K, for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004 and the subsequent interim period ended March 31, 2005.
We have provided PWC with a copy of the foregoing statements and requested that PWC provide us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether PWC agrees with the foregoing statements. A copy of PWC's letter, dated as of June 8, 2005, is filed as an exhibit to this current report on Form 8-K.
