PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 30, 1997
ERGOBILT CHANGES FISCAL YEAR TO BETTER
REFLECT BUSINESS CYCLES OF ACQUIRED COMPANIES
DALLAS, DECEMBER 30, 1997. ERGOBILT, INC. (NASDAQ: ERGB) today announced its
board of directors approved changing the company's fiscal year end to February
28th.
"The change in our fiscal year was made for several reasons", said Mr. Gerard
Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of ErgoBilt. "The two most
compelling were our company's acquisitions of CTSS, Inc. and Cheetah Systems
Inc., both of which have been completed since mid-October. The February fiscal
year will be more in line with the business cycles of our new acquisitions. We
would like to complete our first year as a public company on a fiscal year
reporting basis that reflects how we intend to manage the business long-term.
Also, BodyBilt's business skews to the third and fourth calendar quarter's due
to the purchasing patterns of our government and corporate customers. The new
fiscal year will better apportion BodyBilt's financial results from quarter to
quarter."
ErgoBilt, with headquarters in Dallas, is a rapidly growing developer and
marketer of Ergonomic products and technology that improve workplace
productivity. The company has two operating units - BodyBilt, Inc and
ErgoFon'iks, Inc. The company's common shares are traded on the Nasdaq National
Market System under the symbol "ERGB".
