ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
NOTE: The purpose of Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K filed June 28, 2000, is to
include information as it relates to KPMG Hartkopf + Rentrop Treuhand
KG, auditor of the January 31, 2000 balance sheet for the Company's
European subsidiary, Computer 2000 Aktiengesellschaft.
(a) Effective June 21, 2000, the Board of Directors of Tech Data Corporation
("Tech Data" or the "Registrant") engaged the accounting firm of Ernst &
Young LLP as independent public accountants for the Registrant for the
year ending January 31, 2001. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC"),
principal auditor, and KPMG Hartkopf + Rentrop Treuhand KG ("KPMG"),
auditor of the January 31, 2000 balance sheet of Computer 2000
Aktiengesellschaft ("Computer 2000") Tech Data's European subsidiary, were
dismissed effective June 21, 2000. The change was recommended by
management and approved by Tech Data's Audit Committee and Board of
Directors in order to consolidate the audit of Tech Data's worldwide
business with one accounting firm.
(b) During the two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim period
preceding the date of this report there were no disagreements with PwC or
KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, auditing scope or procedure, or any reportable
events.
(c) The report of PwC on the financial statements of the Registrant for the
past two years and the report of KPMG on the January 31, 2000 balance
sheet of Computer 2000 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope
or accounting principles.
(d) The Registrant has not consulted with Ernst & Young LLP during the last
two years or subsequent interim period on either the application of
accounting principles or type of opinion Ernst & Young LLP might issue on
the Registrant's financial statements.
(e) The Registrant requested PwC and KPMG furnish a letter addressed to the
SEC stating whether PwC and KPMG agree with the above statements. A copy
of the PwC and KPMG letters to the SEC, dated June 28, 2000 and July 12,
2000, respectively, are filed as Exhibits 1 and 2 herein.
