Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
Acrodyne's Board of Directors unanimously resolved to appoint Arthur Andersen
LLP as the company's independent accountant for the fiscal year ending December
31, 1999, and to discontinue the services of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, which
had served as the company's independent accountant since May 1991. On April 30,
1999, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was dismissed as the Company's auditors and
Arthur Andersen LLP was engaged on April 30, 1999, to audit the financial
statements of Acrodyne for fiscal year ending December 31, 1999.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's reports of the company's financial statements for
the past two fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 did not contain an
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
There were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP whether or not
resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.
Letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, File Exhibit 16.1, to be reflected in a
further amendment.
