ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On September 4, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors, upon recommendation
from the Company's Audit Committee, approved a change in the Company's
independent accountants to Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte & Touche"), for
the fiscal year ending September 30, 2001, and the dismissal of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The report of PricwaterhouseCoopers LLP for the
fiscal years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, contained no adverse
opinion, disclaimer of opinion or qualification or modification as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, and the interim period from October 1,
2000 through September 4, 2001, there were no disagreements between the
Company and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the
financial statements for such years. No event as described in paragraph
(a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K has occurred within the Company's
fiscal years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, or the period from October
1, 2000 through September 4, 2001.
The Company did not consult with Deloitte & Touche during the fiscal years
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, or during the interim period from October
1, 2000 through September 4, 2001, on any matter which was the subject of
any disagreement or any reportable event as defined in Regulation S-K Item
304(a)(1)(iv) and Regulations S-K Item 304 (a)(1)(v), respectively, or on
the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either
completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered
on the Company's financial statements, relating to which either a written
report was provided to the Company or oral advise was provided that Deloitte
& Touche concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in
reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing, or financial reporting
issue.
The Company has provided PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP with a copy of the
disclosures contained herein and has filed as an exhibit hereto the response
of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to the disclosures set forth in the section.
