Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On June 7, 2000, [the audit committee/board of directors of] Paris
Corporation (the "Company") approved the dismissal of Parente Randolph, LLC (the
"Former Auditor"), the principal accountant previously engaged to audit the
Company's financial statements. During the Company's two most recent fiscal
years and the subsequent period, the principal accountant's report on the
Company's financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion, disclaimer or
qualification with respect to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent period,
there were no disagreements with the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedures, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the
Former Auditor, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of
the disagreement in connection with its report.
On June 7, 2000, the board of directors of the Company approved the
engagement of Goldenberg Rosenthal, LLP as the principal accountant to audit the
Company's financial statements. During the Company's two most recent fiscal
years and the subsequent period prior to such appointment, the Company has not
consulted the newly engaged accountant regarding either the application of
accounting principles to a specified transaction or the type of audit opinion
that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, nor on any matter
that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.
Goldenberg Rosenthal, LLP reviewed the disclosure provided in this Current
Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
