The appointment of Ernst & Young was made after careful consideration by the Board of Directors, its Audit Committee and management of the Company, and concludes an extensive evaluation process. The decision to change auditors was not the result of any disagreement between the Company and Arthur Andersen on any matter, including accounting principles or practices, financial disclosures, or auditing scopes or procedures. During the 12 years Arthur Andersen served as Cal Dive's independent auditors, the firm provided exceptional service and their people demonstrated a high degree of professionalism.
