Item 4.             Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

 

On April 24, 2003, La Quinta Corporation and La Quinta Properties, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”) notified Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”) that the Company intends to engage Ernst & Young as the Company’s independent principal accountants effective on the date of and immediately following the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003.  The decision to change accountants was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company upon the recommendation of the Company’s Audit Committee.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the subsequent interim period through April 24, 2003, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted Ernst & Young on either (i) the application of accounting principles to any transaction  (completed or proposed) or (ii) the type of audit report that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or (iii) any matters or reportable events as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

Once the change in accountants is effective, the Company will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 8-K/A under Item 4 “ ;Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant” to amend this Form 8-K.
