INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
Item 4. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On July 7, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Registrant approved the
retention of the firm of Ernst & Young LLP as principal independent accountant
to perform the examination of its financial statements as of December 31, 1999,
and for the year then ended, effective with the resignation of Dale Matheson,
Carr-Hilton, the former independent accountant, which occurred on July 8, 1999.
Dale Matheson, Carr-Hilton had been principal independent accountant for Stock
Research Group, Inc., which was acquired by the Corporation on March 11, 1999.
Dale Matheson, Carr-Hilton had performed audit services for the three most
recent fiscal years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, and had expressed
unqualified opinions on such financial statements. In connection with those
audits and through July 8, 1999, there were no disagreements between the
Registrant and Dale Matheson, Carr-Hilton on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Dale Matheson,
Carr-Hilton would have caused them to make reference in their reports to the
subject matter of the disagreements.
The Registrant requested Dale Matheson, Carr-Hilton to furnish it with a
letter addressed to the Commission stating whether such firm agrees with the
statements made above and, if not, stating the respects in which they do not
agree. Such letter is attached as an exhibit hereto.
