ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Company Reorganization
On October 6, 2000, Orbital Imaging Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("ORBIMAGE") reorganized its operations in order to facilitate greater
coordination and delegate more accountability and profit and loss
responsibilities within the company. ORBIMAGE believes that the reorganization
will enable ORBIMAGE to align its headcount with its current funding levels
and the anticipated launch dates of its OrbView-4 and -3 high-resolution
imaging satellites in 2001. The reorganization resulted in a headcount
reduction of 20 employees.
