Item 5. Other Events
Resignation of Officer
Effective May 19, 2000, Jan A. King, resigned his position as Registrant's Vice
President of Space Engineering. Mr. King will be taking a Chief Technical
Officer position with one of Registrant's customers. In that position, among
other duties, we are advised that Mr. King will monitor new contracts between
the two companies, and that he plans to be present in SpaceDev headquarters
facility up to two days per week. Mr. King will retain his office space at
SpaceDev. As a result of the recent addition of Stanley W. Dubyn, President and
Chief Operating Officer, to Registrant's management team, Mr. King's resignation
is not expected to have a material adverse impact on Registrant's operations.
