TA is a kind of ritual that some people practice to ward off financial evil. As such, it is a form of compulsive disorder: "Compulsions are repetitive and seemingly purposeful behaviors that are performed according to certain rules or in a stereotyped fashion. The behaviors are not ends in themselves but are designed to produce or prevent some future event or situation. However, the activities either are not connected in a realistic way with the events, or they may be clearly excessive. The behaviors are performed with a sense of subjective compulsion coupled with a desire to resist, at least initially.The acts do not produce a sense of pleasure, but rather a release of tension. The behaviors are a significant source of distress to the person or interfere with their social or role functioning."

Employer of Incorporation) File Number) Identification No.) 1700 Lincoln Street Denver, Colorado 80203 (Address of Principal Executive Offices) 303-863-7414 (Registrant's Telephone Number, Including Area Code) ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT The Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, approved the dismissal of Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as the Company's independent auditors effective May 23, 2002. Andersen served as the Company's independent auditor for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000. Andersen's reports on the Company's financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 (the "Reports") did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the two most recent fiscal years of the Company ended December 31, 2001, and the subsequent interim period through March 31, 2002, there were no disagreements with Andersen within the meaning of Instruction 4 of Item 304 of Regulation S-K on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to Andersen's satisfaction would have caused Andersen to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its Report. During the term of Andersen's engagement, there were no "reportable events" (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). A letter from Andersen addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission is included as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Such letter states that Andersen agrees with the statements made by the Company in this Item 4. The Board of Directors has appointed the firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as the Company's independent auditor for fiscal year 2002. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's engagement commenced effective May 23, 2002. During the two most recent fiscal years of the Company ended December 31, 2001, and the subsequent interim period through March 31, 2002, the Company did not consult with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
