On November 13, 2002, Registrant filed its report on Form 8-K as follows: Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Auditors The Registrant on November 6, 2002 gave notice of dismissal to its former independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP ("PwC") effective upon completion of PwC's services related to the filing of the registrants form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through November 13, 2002, there have been no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements and there have been no reportable events as defined in item 304 of Regulation S-K. PwC's reports on the financial statements for the Registrant's past two fiscal years did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. The Registrant is currently in the process of selecting new independent auditors. The decision to change auditors was made with the knowledge and approval of the Registrant's audit committee and Board of Directors. By this amendment, Registrant is filing a letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP dated November 20, 2002. Item 7. Exhibits The following is filed with the Commission as an exhibit to this report. 16 Letter dated November 20, 2002 from the Registrant's former independent auditors.
