(iv) There have been no disagreements with DMCL 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 DMCL would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the consolidated financial statements for any years for which an audit was undertaken.
