CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT. On August 14, 2001, we dismissed the firm of Arthur Andersen, LLP as our independent auditors. The decision to dismiss Arthur Andersen was authorized by the board of directors. We are in the process of engaging new independent accountants. The reports of Arthur Andersen on the Company's financial statements for the past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, and during any subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal of Arthur Andersen, there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Arthur Andersen, would have caused Arthur Andersen to make reference to the matter in their report. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, and during any subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal of Arthur Andersen, there were no "reportable events" to describe as specified in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-B. We have requested Arthur Andersen to furnish a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter, dated August 16, 2001, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS.
