Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On January 31, 2001, the Company notified its certifying accountants, Robinson
Burdette Martin Seright & Burrows, L.L.P. ("RBMSB"), that the client-auditor
relationship between the Company and RBMSB will be terminated effective with the
completion of the 2000 financial audit. Additionally, the Company announced its
new certifying accountants, KPMG LLP ("KPMG"), to serve as independent
accountants for fiscal year 2001, subject to KPMG's client approval process. The
decision to change accountants was recommended by the Audit Committee and
approved by the Board of Directors on January 25, 2001, and will be submitted
for ratification at the Company's annual stockholders' meeting on April 26,
2001.
RBMSB's report on the Company's financial statements during the two most recent
fiscal years and all subsequent interim periods preceding the date hereof
contained no adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinions, and was not qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles except that
RBMSB made reference in its opinion for the years ending 1998 and 1999 to Note 1
to the consolidated financial statements, that the Company changed its method of
accounting for earnings per share in 1997.
During the last two fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods preceding
the date hereof, there were no disagreements between the Company and RBMSB on
any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved
to the satisfaction of RBMSB, would have caused RBMSB to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports.
During the last two fiscal years and the subsequent interim periods preceding
the date hereof, the Company did not consult KPMG regarding any of the matters
or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-B.
ITEM 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits
The letter required by Regulation S-B, Item 304(a)(3) is unavailable at this
time and will be filed subsequently.
