Item 4.   Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

       As noted in our Form 8-K filed on June 28, 2002, our Board of Directors,
upon a recommendation made by our Audit Committee, approved the engagement of
KPMG LLP ("KPMG") as our independent auditor for our fiscal year ending December
28, 2002. KPMG LLP has accepted the engagement. During our 2001 and 2000 fiscal
years and through the date of this Form 8-K, we did not, nor did anyone acting
on our behalf, consult with KPMG regarding the application of accounting
principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, the type of
audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or any
reportable events described under Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
