(a) they are independent accountants with respect to the Company within the meaning of the Act and the Rules and Regulations;
(b) in their opinion, the financial statements audited by them and included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus comply in form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the related published rules and regulations;

(i) the unaudited financial statements of the Company included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus do not comply in form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the related published rules and regulations thereunder or are not in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited financial statements included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; and

In the event that the letters referred to above set forth any such changes, decreases or increases, it shall be a further condition to the obligations of the Underwriters that such letters shall be accompanied by a written explanation of the Company as to the significance thereof, unless the Representative deems such explanation unnecessary, and such changes, decreases or increases do not, in the sole judgment of the Representative, make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the purchase and delivery of the Shares as contemplated by the Registration Statement, as amended as of the date hereof. References to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus in this Section 7.4 with respect to either letter referred to above shall include any amendment or supplement thereto at the date of such letter.
