Item 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Effective August 24, 1998, Infodata Systems Inc. (the "Company")
dismissed its prior certifying accountants, Arthur Andersen LLP ("AA") and
retained as its new certifying accountants, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The
decision to change accountants was approved by the Company's Board of
Directors.
During the last two fiscal years and the subsequent interim period to
the date hereof, there were no disagreements between the Company and AA on any
matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure,
or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of AA, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject
matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports.
The reports of AA on the Company's financial statements for 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.
During the last two fiscal years and through the subsequent interim
period to the date hereof, there have been no reportable events as defined by
Item 304 of Regulation S-B with AA.
During the last two fiscal years and through the subsequent interim
period to the date hereof, the Company did not consult PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and
(ii) of Regulation S-B.
