Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants
- ------------------------------------------------------
(a) Previous Independent Accountants
(i) On August 26, 1999, TRM Corporation ("TRM") dismissed its previous
certifying accountant, KPMG LLP ("KPMG").
(ii) The audit reports of KPMG on the consolidated financial
statements of TRM and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and June
30, 1998 and 1997, and for the six months ended December 31, 1998 and
for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 1998, did
not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were
they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles.
(iii) The decision to change accountants was approved by the Audit
Committee of TRM's Board of Directors.
(iv) In connection with the audits of the six-month period ending
December 31, 1998 and the two fiscal years ending June 30, 1998, and
the subsequent interim period through August 26, 1999, there were no
disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction
would have caused them to make reference in connection with their
opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.
(v) TRM requested that KPMG furnish it with a letter addressed to the
Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees
with the statements above and, if not, stating the respects in which
it does not agree. A copy of such letter is attached hereto as Exhibit
16 and is incorporated herein by reference.
(b) New Independent Accountants
TRM engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PWC") as its new
certifying accountant as of August 27, 1999. During the two most
recent fiscal years and through the date hereof, TRM has not consulted
with PWC regarding any matters specified in Items 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii)
of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
