During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and the subsequent interim period through December 12, 2002, (i) the financial statements of RBC Centura did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, and (ii) there were 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 its satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference in connection with its report to the subject matter of the disagreement.
