Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
In a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 1,
2004, we disclosed that Ernst & Young, LLP, our independent registered public
accounting firm, resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm,
effective as of September 1, 2004. We have engaged Grant Thornton LLP as our new
independent accountants to audit our financial statements. The audit committee
of our board of directors approved the engagement of Grant Thornton LLP on
September 9, 2004.
During fiscal years 2003 and 2004 and the subsequent interim period through
September 9, 2004, neither us nor someone on our behalf engaged Grant Thornton
LLP regarding either 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 any matter that was either the
subject of a "disagreement" or a "reportable event," both as such terms are
defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
