Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants
On June 22, 2005, the Registrant engaged Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") as its independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to engage E&Y was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
We have not consulted E&Y during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, or through June 22, 2005, with regard to either (a) 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 (b) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K.
We have provided a copy of the disclosures in this report to E&Y and offered them the opportunity to furnish a letter to the Commission contemplated by Item 304(a)(2)(ii)(D) of Regulation S-K. E&Y has advised that it does not intend to furnish such a letter to the Commission.
