New Independent Accountants

On November 2, 2005, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors engaged
Plante & Moran, PLLC as the Company's independent registered public accounting
firm.

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, and
during the subsequent interim periods preceding the resignation of the prior
registered public accounting firm, the Company has not consulted with Plante &
Moran, PLLC regarding (i) 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 or (ii)
any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as that term is
defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as that
term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
