Item 4. Changes in Company's Certifying Accountant.
------------------------------------------
On April 25, 2000, Navtech, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed Grant Thornton
LLP as its independent certified public accountants. Such determination was made
by the Company's Board of Directors.
The reports of Grant Thornton LLP on the Company's financial statements as
of October 31, 1998 and 1999 and for the years then ended neither contain an
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion nor is modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles, except that the opinions included an
explanatory paragraph that there were conditions that raised substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
During the fiscal years ended October 31, 1998 and 1999 and the period from
November 1, 1999 to April 25, 2000, there were no disagreements with Grant
Thornton 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 such firm, would have caused it to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.
Effective April 27, 2000, the Company engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP as its
independent certified public accountants with respect to the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2000. The engagement of Deloitte & Touche was approved by the Board
of Directors of the Company.
