ITEM 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On August 9, 1998, Ambient Corporation (the "Issuer") retained
as its independent accountants the firm of Brightman, Bar-levav, Friedman & Co.,
the Israeli affiliate of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu to replace Luboshitz, Kasierer
& Co., a member firm of Andersen Worldwide. Luboshitz, Kasierer & Co. was
dismissed by the Issuer effective August 9, 1998. The decision to change
accountants was recommended and approved by the Issuer's Board of Directors.
During the Issuer's last two fiscal years and the subsequent interim
period prior to the dismissal, there were no disagreements between the Issuer
and the accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
The report of the Issuer's independent accountants with respect to the
Issuer's financial statements as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for the years
then ended contains an opinion from the accountants that certain factors
regarding the Issuer's operations raise substantial doubt about the Issuer's
ability to continue as a going concern.
ITEM 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(c) The following documents are filed herewith as exhibits to this Form
8-K:
*16.1 Letter from Luboshitz, Kasierer & Co. regarding change in
certifying accountant.
----------
*To be filed by amendment within 10 business days after the filing of
this report.
