Deloitte & Touche LLP had served as the Company’s principal independent accountants for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. The decision not to retain Deloitte & Touche LLP was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company and, upon recommendation by that committee, was approved by the full Board of Directors on October 11, 2002.

In connection with the audits of the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company had no disagreement with Deloitte & Touche LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP, would have caused them to make reference to such disagreement in their report for such periods.

The audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. Deloitte & Touche LLP was provided a copy of the above disclosures and was requested to furnish us with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.
