Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant. On May 14, 2002 the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of EMCOR Group, Inc. (the "Company") decided, with the approval of the Company's Board of Directors, that effective May 15, 2002 the Company would no longer engage Arthur Andersen LLP ("Arthur Andersen") as the Company's independent public accountants and that as of May 15, 2002 Ernst & Young LLP, certified public accountants, would be appointed as the Company's independent public accountants for 2002, subject to ratification by stockholders. The reports of Arthur Andersen on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through May 15, 2002, there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference thereto in connection with its report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events as such term is used in Item 304(a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K. The Company provided Arthur Andersen with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached as Exhibit 16 is a copy of Arthur Andersen's letter, dated May 15, 2002, stating its agreement with such statements. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through May 15, 2002, the Company did not consult Ernst & Young LLP with respect to 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 consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Items 304 (a) (2) (i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
