The Registrant is in the process of selecting and retaining new independent accountants. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Board of Directors of the Registrant. During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and the interim period preceding dismissal, there were no disagreements between the Registrant and Arthur Andersen LLP 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 Arthur Andersen LLP would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.
