On July 11, 1996, London Financial Corporation (the "Corporation"), with
the approval of the Board of Directors, decided to change the Corporation's
independent public auditors from KPMG Peat Marwick LLP to Grant Thornton LLP.
KPMG Peat Marwick LLP served as the Corporation's independent public auditors
from 1987 through the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995. The Board of
Directors' decision to engage Grant Thornton LLP is based on that firm's
commitment toward serving mid-sized community-based financial institutions.
The KPMG Peat Marwick LLP reports on the consolidated financial statements of
the Corporation for the past two years did not contain any adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles. There have not been any disagreements
between the Corporation and KPMG Peat Marwick LLP on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, consolidated financial statement disclosure or audit
scope or procedure.
Grant Thornton LLP has been engaged as the Corporation's independent
public auditors effective July 11, 1996. The Corporation has not requested or
obtained any advice from Grant Thornton LLP concerning any material
accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue regarding the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction or the type of audit opinion
that might be rendered on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.
Item 5. Other Events.
