Item 4. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On May 10, 2002, due to the closure of the Portland, Oregon office of Arthur Andersen LLP, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors approved the dismissal of our independent public accountants, Arthur Andersen LLP. Arthur Andersen LLP’s reports on our financial statements for each of the last two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During our two most recent fiscal years and during the subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal, May 10, 2002, there have not been any disagreements between us and Arthur Andersen LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, or any reportable events as defined under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A copy of a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission from Arthur Andersen LLP stating that it agrees with the above statements is attached as Exhibit 16.

Also on May 10, 2002, based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, we engaged the firm of KPMG LLP to be our independent public accountants. We did not consult KPMG LLP at any time since March 31, 2000 with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or concerning any disagreement or reportable event with Arthur Andersen LLP.
