Item 4. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On June 28, 1999, the registrant dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP as its
independent auditors and appointed Ernst & Young LLP as its independent auditors
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999. The decision to dismiss Arthur
Andersen LLP and to retain Ernst & Young LLP was recommended by the registrant's
audit committee and approved by the registrant's Board of Directors.
The reports of Arthur Andersen LLP as of and for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
application of accounting principles. During the registrant's fiscal years ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, and during the subsequent interim periods prior to June
28, 1999, there were no (i) disagreements between the registrant and Arthur
Andersen LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which disagreements, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of Arthur Andersen LLP, would have caused it to
make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its
reports on the registrant's financial statements, or (ii) "reportable events"
within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
