Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

On October 8, 2004, we and Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”), our independent public accountants, terminated our relationship. The reports of Ernst & Young on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003 did not contain an adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003 and during the subsequent interim periods through the date of termination, we had no disagreements with Ernst & Young on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures. In addition, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) during these periods.

 

We provided Ernst & Young with a copy of the disclosures we are making in this Current Report prior to filing this Current Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We requested that Ernst & Young furnish us a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether Ernst & Young agreed with such disclosures and, if not, stating the respects in which it did not agree. Ernst & Young’s letter, dated November 3, 2004, confirming its agreement with such statements is attached as Exhibit 16.1 and is incorporated in this Current Report by reference.

 

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors considered, approved and recommended to our Board of Directors the termination of our engagement of Ernst & Young as our independent auditors. These actions were ratified and approved by our Board of Directors.
