The reports of PWC on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and through October 23, 2007, there were no disagreements with PWC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(A) of Regulation S-B), if not resolved to the satisfaction of PWC, would have caused PWC to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company's financial statements for such years. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and through October 23, 2007, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-B. The Company has provided PWC with a copy of the above disclosures and has requested that PWC furnish a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made by the Company and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. The letter from PWC is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
