(B) DT's reports on the Trust's consolidated financial statements for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 2000, respectively, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. (C) The Trustee recommended and approved DT's dismissal, as the Trust does not have a Board of Directors. (D) During the Trust's two fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and through July 12, 2001, there were no disagreements with DT on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of DT, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports covering such periods. (E) During the Trust's two fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and through July 12, 2001, there were no "Reportable Events" (hereinafter defined) requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The decision to engage W&T was made by the Trustee, as the Trust does not have a Board of Directors. During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and through July 12, 2001, neither the Trust nor anyone on its behalf consulted W&T regarding either (1) 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 Trust's financial statements, nor did W&T provide to the Trust a written report or oral advice regarding such principles or audit opinion; or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a "disagreement," as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv), or a Reportable Event.
