Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On May 30, 2006, we engaged Deloitte & Touche, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as our principal independent accountant with the approval of our company’s board of directors. Accordingly, we dismissed Ernst & Young, LLP on May 30, 2006.
The report of Ernst & Young, LLP on our financial statements for the last two fiscal years, ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, did not contain an adverse opinion, a disclaimer of opinion or any qualifications or modifications related to uncertainty, limitation of audit scope or application of accounting principles. During the last two years there were no disagreements (within the meaning of Instruction 4 of item 304 of Regulation 8-K) with Ernst & Young, LLP as to any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure and there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304 of Regulation 8-K).
2
We provided Ernst & Young, LLP with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the SEC, and requested that they furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether they agree with the statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and if not, stating the aspects with which they do not agree. The letter from Ernst & Young, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
We have not consulted with Deloitte & Touche, LLP regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our company’s financial statements during the two most recent fiscal years through the present.
The change of auditors was approved by our Board of Directors as of May 1, 2006, and ratified by the shareholder at the Company’s Annual General Meeting held May 30, 2006.
