Item 4. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On March 23, 2002, the audit committee of the board of directors of 3333 Holding Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Holding”), approved, for itself and on behalf of its subsidiary, 3333 Development Corporation, a Nevada corporation and general partner of Centex Development, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”) as the independent auditors for Holding and the Partnership (together, the “Companies”) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002, to replace Arthur Andersen LLP (“Arthur Andersen”), whose engagement as the Companies’ auditors ended immediately. This action followed the audit committee’s decision to seek proposals from independent accountants to audit the Companies’ financial statements.
Arthur Andersen’s audit reports on the Companies’ financial statements as of and for the two most recent fiscal years, which ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Companies’ two most recent fiscal years, which ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively, and the subsequent interim period through March 23, 2002:
| (i) | there were no disagreements between the Companies and Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen’s satisfaction, would have caused Arthur Andersen to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports; | ||
| (ii) | none of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred; and | ||
| (iii) | the Companies did not consult with Ernst & Young regarding any of the matters or events described in item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K. |
The Companies provided Arthur Andersen with a copy of the foregoing statements. A letter from Arthur Andersen, dated March 27, 2002, stating its agreement with such statements is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.
