CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT On April 9, 1999, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Thomas Group, Inc.

On April 8, 1999, BDO Seidman, LLP ("BDO"), who previously audited the Company's financial statements, was dismissed by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors as the Company's independent accountants. 2 ITEM 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT (CONTINUED) The reports of BDO on the Company's financial statements for the past two fiscal years 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. In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and in the subsequent interim period through April 8, 1999, there were no disagreements with BDO on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would have caused BDO to make reference to the matter in their report on the financial statements for such years. The Company requested that BDO furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated April 9, 1999, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS. (c) Exhibits.
