Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the "Plan") and dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PricewaterhouseCoopers"). Crowe Chizek will audit the financial statements of the Plan for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. During the two years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and through February 9, 2005, there were no disagreements between the Plan and PricewaterhouseCoopers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to PricewaterhouseCoopers' satisfaction would have caused PricewaterhouseCoopers to make reference thereto in connection with its audit reports on the Plan's financial statements for such periods. None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred during the Plan's years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, or through February 9, 2005. The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers on the financial statements of the Plan as of and for the two years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. The Plan provided PricewaterhouseCoopers with a copy of the foregoing disclosures, and a letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers confirming whether or not PricwaterhouseCoopers agrees with these disclosures is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this report. During the two years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and through February 9, 2005, the Plan did not consult with Crowe Chizek with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction or regarding any of the other matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
