ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On November 16, 1998, the Registrant notified PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
that it was dismissing such firm as its independent accountants effective upon
the completion of the audit of the January 31, 1999 financial statements of the
Registrant. On November 17, 1998, the Registrant notified Deloitte & Touche LLP
that it will engage such firm as its new independent accountants upon completion
of the audit of the January 31, 1999 financial statements. The decision to
change accountants was approved by the Audit Committee of the Registrant's Board
of Directors.
The audit of the Registrant's financial statements for the year ended
January 31, 1999 has been completed, and on April 29, 1999, the Registrant filed
its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC. Accordingly, the dismissal of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Registrant's independent accountants is now
effective.
During the fiscal years ended January 31, 1999 and January 31, 1998 and
through April 29, 1999, there were no disagreements with
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure or audit scope or procedure which disagreements,
if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have
caused them to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreement in
their reports on the financial statements for such years. The reports of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the financial statements for the fiscal years
ended January 31, 1999 and January 31, 1998 did not contain an adverse opinion
or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended January 31, 1999 and January 31, 1998 and
through April 29, 1999, Deloitte & Touche LLP has not been engaged as
an independent accountant to audit either the Registrant's financial statements
or the financial statements of any of its subsidiaries, nor has it been
consulted regarding the application of the Registrant's accounting principles to
a specified transaction other than those transactions occurring after February
1, 1999, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant's
financial statements.
The Registrant has requested that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP furnish it
with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the
above statement. A copy of such letter, dated May 3, 1999, is filed as Exhibit
16 to this Form 8-K/A.
