Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certified Accountant.
- ------- ---------------------------------------------
(a)(1)(i) On September 14, 1998, LEC Technologies, Inc. (the
"Registrant") terminated its relationship with KPMG Peat Marwick
LLP (the "Former Accountant"), its principal accountants.
(ii) The Former Accountant's reports on the
consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1997 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of
opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope or accounting principles.
(iii) The decision to change accountants was approved
by the Board of Directors.
(iv)(A) During the Registrant's last two fiscal years
and the subsequent interim periods through the date of the
termination of the Former Accountant, there were no disagreements
with the Former Accountant, whether or not resolved, 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 the Former Accountant, would
have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreements in connection with its report.
(iv)(B) In connection with the Former Accountant's
audit of the Registrant's 1997 consolidated financial statements,
the Former Accountant advised the registrant of the following
reportable conditions in connection with the Registrant's system of
internal controls; reconciliation of intercompany accounts,
controls over shipping and receiving logs, controls over inventory
on trial, and segregation of duties. The Registrant believes that
the first three items and certain of the matters in the fourth item
have been corrected.
(iv)(E) The Registrant has authorized the Former
Accountant to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor
accountant concerning the subject matter of the reportable
conditions relative to the Registrant's system of internal
controls.
