CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT On May 3, 2002, the Company received notice by letter dated May 2, 2002 that Ernst & Young LLP resigned as auditors of the Company. The reports of Ernst & Young LLP on the Company's financial statements for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. The report of Ernst & Young LLP for only the most recent year of the past two fiscal years was modified as to uncertainty regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP would have caused Ernst & Young LLP to make reference to the matter in their report. The Company has requested Ernst & Young LLP to furnish it a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter, dated May 10, 2002 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K. The Company is currently in the process of selecting a new independent public accounting firm. ITEM 7.
