D&T's audit reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.  During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 and during the subsequent period through the date of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there were no disagreements with D&T on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope of procedures.  During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 and during the subsequent period through the date of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company has provided a copy of the disclosures above to D&T and requested D&T to furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") stating whether or not D&T agrees with the foregoing statements and, if not, the respects in which it disagrees.

During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 and during the subsequent period through the date of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company has not consulted with KPMG regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements; or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
