ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
a) | On June 27, 2002, Hemet Bancorp (the Company) terminated Arthur Andersen LLP as principal accountants and is currently evaluating alternatives for its principal accountants for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. The decision to terminate Arthur Andersen LLP was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. | |
In connection with the audits of the Company’s financial statements for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and the interim period through June 27, 2002, there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedures, which, if not resolved to their satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to such matters in connection with their opinion; and there were no reportable events as described in Item 304 (a) (1) (v) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-K. | ||
The audit report of Arthur Andersen LLP on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. | ||
The Company requested that Arthur Andersen LLP furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission, stating whether they agree with the above statements. This letter is filed as an Exhibit to this Report. |
