Item 4.01               Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

Effective on July 5, 2005, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers, L.L.P. (“PwC”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.  The reports issued by PwC on the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004, and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.  During the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004, and through July 5, 2005:  (i) there were no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to PwC’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report of the Company’s financial statements for such years; and (ii) there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company has requested that PwC provide the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not PwC agrees with the foregoing disclosures.  A copy of that letter, dated July 8, 2005, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.

 

Effective as of July 5, 2005 the Company engaged Carlin, Charron & Rosen LLP (“CCR”) to serve as the Company’s independent public accountants for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.  During the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004, and through July 5, 2005, the Company did not consult with CCR 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 the Company’s consolidated financial statements, or any other matters, including disagreements or reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
