ITEM 4.   Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
          ----------------------------------------------

          (a)   Previous independent accountants

                (i)   On July 21, 2003, after giving consideration to
proposals for auditing services from selected national accounting firms, the
Registrant replaced Ernst & Young LLP as the independent accountants of
Reunion Industries, Inc.

                (ii)  The reports of Ernst & Young LLP on the financial
statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or
accounting principle.  The reports of Ernst & Young LLP on the financial
statements for the past two fiscal years were modified as to uncertainty
surrounding the Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern.

                (iii) In connection with its audits for the two most recent
fiscal years and through July 21, 2003, there have been no disagreements with
Ernst & Young 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 Ernst & Young LLP would
have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial
statements for such years.

                (iv)  During the two most recent fiscal years and through July
21, 2003, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K
Item 304 (a)(1)(v)).

                (v)   The Registrant provided Ernst & Young LLP with a copy of
this Current Report on Form 8-K no later that the date this report was filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has requested that Ernst &
Young LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not
it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of such letter is filed herein as
Exhibit 16 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

          (b)   New independent accountants

                Effective on July 21, 2003, the Registrant engaged Wiss &
Company LLP as its new independent accountants.  Prior to their appointment as
independent accountants, Wiss & Company LLP had not been consulted by the
