On the same date, PwC was notified of its dismissal.

In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through October 9, 2001, there have been no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for such years.
