Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
The Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved a
change in the Company's independent accountants for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2000, from Arthur Andersen LLP ("Arthur Andersen") to Deloitte &
Touche LLP ("Deloitte & Touche"). Arthur Andersen was dismissed on April 21,
2000 and Deloitte & Touche was engaged on April 27, 2000. The report of Arthur
Andersen for teach of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999
contained no adverse opinions, disclaimer of opinion or qualification or
modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During
each of the three years ended December 31, 1999, there were no disagreements
between the Company and Arthur Andersen on any accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which,
if not resolved to the satisfaction of Arthur Andersen would have caused it to
make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its
report. No event described in paragraph (a) (1) (v) of Item 304 of Regulation
S-K has occurred within the Company for each of the three years ended December
31, 1999.
The Company has provided Arthur Anderson with a copy of the disclosures
contained herein.
The Company did not consult with Deloitte & Touche during each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 on any matter which was the
subject of any disagreement or any reportable event or on the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed.
