  Item 4.    Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountants
  ---------------------------------------------------------
  
  On May 14, 1999 PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP resigned as the independent
  accountants of Silicon Valley Research, Inc. (the "Registrant").
  
  The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the Registrant's consolidated
  financial statements for the past two fiscal years ended March 31, 1998
  contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or
  modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that
  such reports included an explanatory paragraph as to the uncertainty of the
  Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern.
  
  In connection with its audits of the Registrant's consolidated financial
  statements for the two fiscal years ended March 31, 1998 and through May 14,
  1999, there have been no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any
  matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
  auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the
  satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have caused them to make
  reference thereto in their report on the consolidated financial statements for
  such years.
  
  The Registrant has requested that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP furnish it with a
  letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or
  not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated May 21,
  1999, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.
  
  The Registrant engaged Moss Adams LLP as its new independent accountants as of
  May 17, 1999. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 1998 and through May 21,
  1999, the Registrant has not consulted with Moss Adams LLP regarding either (i)
  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 Registrant's financial statements for the two fiscal years ended March 31,
  1998, and either a written report was provided to the Registrant or oral advice
  was provided that Moss Adams LLP concluded was an important factor considered by
  the Registrant in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or
  financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a
  disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304 (a) (1) (iv) of Regulation S-K
  and the related instructions of Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable
  event, as that term is defined in Item 304 (a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K.
