Item 4.    Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On May 28, 2003, Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) and Neoforma, Inc. (the “Company”) ceased their client-auditor relationship. On that date, Deloitte notified the Chairman of the Audit Committee that Deloitte resigned its audit relationship with the Company.

 

Deloitte has not included, in any report on the Company’s financial statements, an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or a qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, with respect to the Company’s financial statements.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years of the Company ended December 31, 2002, and the subsequent interim period through May 28, 2003, there were no disagreements between the Company and Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Deloitte’s satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years of the Company ended December 31, 2002, and the subsequent interim period through May 28, 2003, there were no “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except that Deloitte advised the Audit Committee and management that Deloitte noted a certain matter involving internal control that it considered to be a material weakness. Deloitte advised the Company that, in Deloitte’s judgment, the material weakness was the result of the Company’s lack of review for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or that such an asset may be obsolete.

 

As a result of the notification of the material weakness discussed above, the Company expanded the scope of periodic communications between the finance department and other operational departments, and expanded the formal reporting procedures, to improve the controls over the evaluation of long-lived assets for impairment.

 

The Company is in the process of engaging a new independent auditor to replace Deloitte. The Company has authorized Deloitte to respond fully to the inquiries of this successor independent auditor concerning the foregoing material weakness or any other matters.

 

The Company provided Deloitte with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of Deloitte’s letter, dated June 2, 2003, stating whether it agrees with such statements.
