Item
4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On December 28, 2010, an engagement
letter was executed by us and BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) pursuant to which the audit
committee of our board of trustees engaged BDO as our independent registered
public accountants, as of and for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011 and
the interim periods prior to such year-end. During our two most
recent fiscal years and through December 28, 2010, we did not consult with BDO
regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction,
either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be
rendered on our financial statements, nor did BDO provide advice to us, either
written or oral, that was an important factor considered by us in reaching a
decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting
issue. Further, during our two most recent fiscal years and through
December 28, 2010, we did not consult with BDO on any matter described in Item
304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
