  Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
  
           On April 8, 2002, the Board of Directors of Tvia, Inc. (the "Company"),
  upon recommendation of the Company's Audit Committee, made a determination to no
  longer engage Arthur Andersen LLP ("Arthur Andersen") as the Company's
  independent public accountants and engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PWC") on
  April 10, 2002 to serve as the Company's independent public accountants for the
  fiscal year ended March 31, 2002.
  
           Arthur Andersen's reports on the Company's consolidated financial
  statements for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 did not
  contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or
  modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
  
           During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 and the
  subsequent interim period through the date hereof, there were no disagreements
  with Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principle or practices,
  financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not
  resolved to Arthur Andersen's satisfaction, would have caused them to make
  reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on the Company's
  consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable
  events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
  
           The Company provided Arthur Andersen with a copy of the foregoing
  disclosures. Attached as Exhibit 16 is a copy of Arthur Andersen's letter, dated
  April 10, 2002, stating its agreement with such statements.
  
           During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 and through the
  date hereof, the Company did not consult PWC with respect to the application of
  accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed,
  or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's
  consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as
  set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
