Item 4.   Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

         Effective June 12, 2002 the Company has dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP (“Arthur Andersen”) as its accountant. Arthur Andersen’s report on the Company’s financial statements for the last two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion, contained no disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The decision to change accountants was recommended by the Company’s audit committee and approved by its board of directors. During the last two fiscal years and thereafter through the date of this report there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.

         Effective June 19, 2002 the Company has retained PricewaterhouseCoopers (“PWC”) as its accountants to audit the financial statements of the Company for fiscal year 2003. The Company has not consulted with PWC with respect to any of its financial statements during the last two fiscal years or thereafter through the date of this report.

As required by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K (Reg. §229.304(a)(3)), attached as Exhibit 16 is a copy of Arthur Andersen’s letter dated June 19, 2002 stating that it has found no basis for disagreement with such statements.
