Information to be included in the report
As a result, on March 29, 2006, the Plan engaged Plante & Moran, PLLC ("Plante & Moran") as independent accountants to audit the financial statements of the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2005. As of March 29, 2006, Deloitte & Touche, LLP ("Deloitte") was dismissed as independent accountants of the Plan. The reports of Deloitte regarding the Plan's financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion or any qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through March 29, 2006, there have been no disagreements with Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would have caused it to make reference to the matter in its reports on the financial statements for such years, and there were no "reportable events" as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. The Plan furnished Deloitte with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to filing it with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Plan also requested that Deloitte furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made in this Current Report. Attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of Deloitte's letter dated March 29, 2006, stating its agreement with such statements.
The Plan engaged Plante & Moran as its independent accountants to audit the Plan's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and through the filing date of this Current Report, neither the Plan nor anyone acting on the Plan's behalf consulted Plante & Moran regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Plan's financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a "reportable event" described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The change in accounting firm described above pertains only to the financial statements of the Plan and does not affect Deloitte's engagement as the independent registered public accounting firm of Valassis.
