ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Effective July 27, 1998, the Audit Committee recommended and the
Board of Directors of NPC International, Inc. (the "Company")
appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent accountants of
the Company for the fiscal year ending March 30, 1999. On July 28,
1998, Company management informed Ernst & Young LLP that the firm
would no longer be engaged as independent accountants for the
Company and its subsidiaries for accounting periods subsequent to
the quarter ended June 30, 1998.
Ernst & Young LLP's report on the Company's financial statements
for the two most recent fiscal years ended March 25, 1997 and
March 31, 1998, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended March 25, 1997, and
March 31, 1998, and during subsequent interim periods through June
30, 1998, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedures, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst &
Young LLP, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject
matter of the disagreements in connection with its audit reports.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended March 25, 1997, and
March 31, 1998, and during subsequent interim periods through June
30, 1998, there were no reportable events (as defined in
Securities and Exchange Commission Regulations S-K Item
304(a)(1)(v)).
The Company requested Ernst & Young LLP to furnish a letter
addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the
above statements. Ernst & Young LLP's letter dated July 30, 1998,
is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.
