Item 4. Changes in registrant's certifying accountant.

     Effective June 28, 2002 we dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent
auditor, which dismissal we reported on a Form 8-K filed on June 28, 2002.
Subject to ratification by our shareholders at the annual meeting, we have
engaged Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young") as our new independent auditor,
effective July 9, 2002. The decision to engage Ernst & Young was recommended by
the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and was approved by our Board of
Directors.

     During our two most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 and March 30,
2002, and the subsequent interim period commencing March 31, 2002, we did not
consult with Ernst & Young regarding any of the matters or events set forth in
Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
