Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
(a) On April 19, 2000, Sobieski Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company")
terminated the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as
the Company's principal accountants. The decision to change
accountants was approved by the audit committee of the
Company's Board of Directors.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended June
30, 1999 and any subsequent interim period through April 19,
2000, there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to their
satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their
report.
The audit report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the
Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the
years ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, did not contain an adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles.
The Company requested that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP furnish
the Company with a letter, as promptly as possible, addressed
to the Securities and Exchange Commission, stating whether
they agree with the statements in this Item 4, and if not,
stating the respects in which they do not agree. This letter
is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Current Report.
(b) On April 19, 2000, the Company engaged Crowe, Chizek and
Company LLP as the Company's principal accountants.
