                       Exhibit 1-Attachment to Form 12b-25
                          Tapistron International, Inc.

As independent auditors for Tapistron International, Inc., we are preparing this
exhibit to be attached to Form 12b-25 for Tapistron International, Inc. Our firm
has been engaged by Tapistron  International,  Inc. to perform an audit of their
financial statements and to assist them in preparation of Form 10-K for the year
ending July 31, 1996.

Because  Tapistron  has filed a petition in  bankruptcy  under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy  Code,  we  were  unable  to  start  any of our  audit  work  or 10-K
preparation  work until the  bankruptcy  court  approved  our  employment.  I am
attaching  a copy of  Judge  Massey's  order  which  is dated  October  4,  1996
authorizing  Tapistron  to employ us for these  services.  Due to the tight time
constraints  that we are working under,  we are unable to complete the audit and
the 10-K without unreasonable effort.

Baring any unforeseen  complications,  the 10-K along with our audit report will
be filed no later than the 15th calendar day following the  prescribed  due date
of October 29, 1996.

                                      Sincerely,

                                      Dudley, Hopton-Jones, Sims & Freeman PLLP
