(iv)

During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and through March 14, 2002 there were no disagreements with Clark, Schaefer, Hackett & Co. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Clark, Schaefer, Hackett & Co., would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years.
