ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On August 14, 2001, we dismissed the firm of Arthur Andersen, LLP as
our independent auditors. The decision to dismiss Arthur Andersen was authorized
by the board of directors. We are in the process of engaging new independent
accountants.
The reports of Arthur Andersen on the Company's financial statements
for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer
of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, and during any subsequent
interim period preceding the dismissal of Arthur Andersen, there were no
disagreements with Arthur Andersen on any matters of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures
which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Arthur Andersen, would have caused
Arthur Andersen to make reference to the matter in their report.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, and
during any subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal of Arthur Andersen,
there were no "reportable events" to describe as specified in Item
304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-B.
We have requested Arthur Andersen to furnish a letter addressed to the
Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that
letter, dated August 16, 2001, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report
on Form 8-K.
