ITEM 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants
By unanimous written consent, effective May 30, 2000, the Board of Directors of
EDO Corporation (the "Company"), upon recommendation of the Audit Committee of
the Board of Directors, approved (i) the dismissal of KPMG LLP as independent
auditors for the Company for 2000, and (ii) the appointment of Ernst & Young
LLP, certified public accountants, as independent auditors for the Company for
2000.
The reports of KPMG LLP on the Company's financial statements for either of the
past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of
opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles.
In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for each of
the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, and in the subsequent interim
period, there were no disagreements with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG LLP would have
caused KPMG LLP to make reference to the subject matter in their report.
The Company has requested that KPMG LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to
the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above
statements. A copy of that letter, dated June 2, 2000, is filed as Exhibit 16
to this Form 8-K.
