ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS

(a) On December 10, 2001, the audit committee recommended and the Board of
Directors approved the engagement of Moss Adams LLP as its independent auditors
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001 to replace the firm of Deloitte &
Touche, LLP who was dismissed as auditors of the Company.

The reports of Deloitte & Touche, LLP 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 years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, and for the subsequent interim
period from April 1, 2001 through December 10, 2001, there were no disagreements
with Deloitte & Touche, LLP on any matters of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures
which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche, LLP would have
caused Deloitte & Touche, LLP to make reference to the matter in their report.
The Company has requested Deloitte & Touche, LLP to furnish it a letter
addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements.
A copy of that letter, dated December 27, 2001 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this
Form 8-K/A.

(b) The Company engaged Moss Adams LLP as its new independent accountants as of
December 10, 2001. Prior to this date, the Company did not consult with Moss
Adams LLP regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction, either completed or proposed, (ii) the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, or (iii) any other
matter that was the subject of a disagreement between the Company and its former
auditor as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.
