FORM 10-K FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
We have had no changes in or disagreements with our independent accountants
since our Board of Directors’ June 12, 2002 appointment, based upon the
recommendation of our Audit Committee, of Ernst & Young LLP as Swift’s
independent auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, replacing
Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent auditors. That change was reported by
Swift in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 12, 2002, filed with the SEC
on June 18, 2002. A copy of the previously issued report dated February 18, 2002 of Arthur
Andersen LLP on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000 and for each of the three years ended December 31,
2001 is included in this Form 10-K Report for the year ended December 31,
2003, but such previously issued report has not been reissued.
The Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial
officer have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by the report.
Based on that evaluation, they have concluded that such disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material
information relating to the Company required under the Exchange Act to be
disclosed in this report.
The information required under Item 10 which will be set forth
in our definitive proxy statement to be filed within 120 days after the close of
