Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant During the first calendar quarter of 1996, proposals were requested from qualified firms of certified public accountants to perform audit services beginning in 1996 for Government Technology Services, Inc. (the "Company"). The Company's former independent accountant - Coopers & Lybrand LLP - submitted a letter in response to the Company's request for proposals, stating an interest in continuing to serve as the Company's independent accountant, but declining to participate in the Company's proposal process, as defined in the request for proposals. On June 6, 1996, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors met to interview the finalist firms selected by management as a result of the above-mentioned process. On June 17, 1996, such Audit Committee approved the engagement of Arthur Andersen LLP as the independent accountants for the Company. During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, (i) there were no disagreements with Coopers & Lybrand LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to its satisfaction would have caused it to make reference in connection with its report to the subject matter of the disagreement; and (ii) Coopers & Lybrand LLP has not advised the registrant of any reportable events as defined in paragraph (A) through (D) of Regulation S-K Item 304 (a)(1)(v). The accountants' report of Coopers & Lybrand LLP on the consolidated financial statements of Government Technology Services, Inc. and Subsidiary as of and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
