FORM 8-K ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP ("Former Accountant") was previously Registrant's independent accountant. On March 16, 1998, that firm's appointment as principal accountant was terminated. The decision to change accountants was approved by Registrant's Board of Directors. The Former Accountant's reports on financial statements of ErgoBilt, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 1996, and for the period from June 12, 1995 to December 31, 1995, and BodyBilt Seating, Inc. for each of the past two years contained no adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was any report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the periods described above and the interim period preceding the Former Accountant's termination, there have been no disagreements between Registrant and the Former Accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement. Registrant has provided the Former Accountant with a copy of the disclosures being reported in this report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Commission. A copy of the Former Accountant's letter response to this item is attached as an exhibit to this report.
