ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On May 25, 2001, the board of directors of the Company dismissed the
Company's current accountants, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP served as the Company's auditor for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2000. The board of directors has appointed Grant Thornton LLP as
the Company's auditor for the year ended March 31, 2001, because of Grant
Thornton's familiarity with governmental contracting and business issues of and
accounting for satellite operations. Grant Thornton's office is located at 701
Pike Street Suite 1500 Seattle, Washington 98101.
The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the financial statements for the
past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and
were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principle except for the inclusion in both reports of an explanatory paragraph
regarding the Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern.
In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through
May 25, 2001, there have been no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved
to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused them to make
reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such years.
During the two most recent fiscal years and through May 25, 2001, there have
been no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)).
The Registrant has requested that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP furnish it with a
letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above
statements. A copy of such letter, dated May 25, 2001, is filed as Exhibit 16.2
to this Form 8-K.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
