         On April 25,1997, Robinson Nugent, Inc. (the "Company") advised
Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. ("Coopers") that the Company was discontinuing Coopers'
services as the Company's independent accountants at the completion of Coopers'
report for the year ending June 30, 1997.  The Company has engaged Deloitte &
Touche L.L.P. ("Deloitte") as the Company's independent accountants for the
subsequent year.  The decision to discontinue the services of Coopers and to
engage Deloitte was recommended by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board
of Directors.

         Coopers' reports on the financial statements of the Company for the
year-ended June 30, 1997 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, nor were the reports qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles.  There were no disagreements between the Company and
Coopers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or audit scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved
to the satisfaction of Coopers, would have caused it to make a reference to the
subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports.
