UHY LLP is the independent registered public accounting firm with which UHY
Mann Frankfort Stein &amp; Lipp CPAs, LLP has an affiliation.&nbsp; UHY LLP is
a legal entity that is separate from UHY Mann Frankfort Stein &amp; Lipp CPAs,

ITEM 4.01
CHANGES 
IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
(a)  (1)    (i)     On
June 1, 2006, the partners of UHY Mann Frankfort Stein & Lipp CPAs, LLP
announced that they were joining UHY LLP, a New York limited liability partnership. 
UHY LLP is the independent registered public accounting firm with which UHY
Mann Frankfort Stein & Lipp CPAs, LLP has an affiliation.  UHY LLP is
a legal entity that is separate from UHY Mann Frankfort Stein & Lipp CPAs,
LLP.  On June 14, 2006, UHY Mann Frankfort Stein & Lipp CPAs, LLP
notified Tor Minerals International, Inc. (the "Company") that it
has ceased to provide audit services to the Company, and accordingly, resigned
as the independent registered public accountants of the Company on that date.
(ii)        None of the reports
of UHY Mann Frankfort Stein & Lipp CPAs, LLP on the Company's
financial statements for either of the past two years or subsequent interim
periods contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
(iii)       The decision to
change principal accountants was approved by the audit committee of the Board
of Directors of the Company.
(iv)       During the two most
recent fiscal years of the Company and any subsequent interim periods, there
were no disagreements between the Company and UHY Mann Frankfort Stein & Lipp CPAs, LLP 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 UHY Mann Frankfort Stein & Lipp CPAs,
LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreements in connection with its report.
The Company has provided UHY Mann Frankfort Stein
& Lipp CPAs, LLP with a copy of the above disclosures in response to Item
304(a) of Regulation S-K in conjunction with the filing of this Form 8-K. 
The Company requested that UHY Mann Frankfort Stein & Lipp CPAs, LLP
deliver to the Company a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange
Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company in
response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K, and if not, stating the respects in
which it does not agree.   A copy of the letter of UHY Mann Frankfort
Stein & Lipp CPAs, LLP is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K Current
Report.
(a)(2)   On June 14,
2006, the Company engaged UHY LLP as the Company's independent registered
public accountant for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2006
and the interim periods prior to such year-end.  During the
Company's two most recent fiscal years or subsequent interim period, the
Company has not consulted with UHY LLP regarding the application of accounting
principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type
of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial
statements, nor did the limited liability partnership of UHY LLP provide advice
to the Company, either written or oral, that was an important factor considered
by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or
financial reporting issue.  Further, during the Company's two most
recent fiscal years or subsequent interim periods, the Company has not
consulted with the limited liability partnership of UHY LLP on any matter that
was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.
