Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(b)
On June 2, 2005, the Company’s Audit Committee engaged Kaufman, Rossin & Co. (“KR&Co.”), the largest independent certified public accounting firm in Florida, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005 and the interim periods prior to such year-end.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and through June 2, 2005, the Company has not consulted with KR&Co. regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, nor did KR&Co. provide advice to the Company, either written or oral, that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, except that KR&Co. audited the financial statements for the Company’s 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and through June 2, 2005, the Company has not consulted with KR&Co. about any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a “reportable event” (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
