ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors annually considers and recommends to the Board of Directors the selection of our independent public accountants. As recommended by our Audit Committee after an evaluation of services provided by a number of independent accounting firms as well as their knowledge of the industry, effective July 9, 2002, our Board of Directors has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent auditors.

At no time during the last two fiscal years or any subsequent period leading up to July 9, 2002 did Gadzoox or any of its representatives consult with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the company’s financial statements, nor did Gadzoox or any of its representatives consult with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP regarding any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
