ITEM 4. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.


         KPMG LLP was previously the principal accountants for Geographics, Inc.
(the "Company"). On July 26, 2001, KPMG LLP resigned. The decision to change
accountants was not requested or approved by the Company's Board of Directors or
Audit Committee.

         In connection with the audits of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001
and March 31, 2000, KPMG LLP's auditors' reports did not contain any adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that KPMG LLP's
auditors' report on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and
for the year ended March 31, 2001 was modified to reflect uncertainty about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

         In connection with the audits of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001
and March 31, 2000, and the subsequent unaudited period through July 26, 2001,
there were no disagreements with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures,
which disagreements if not resolved to its satisfaction would have caused them
to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the
disagreement.

         In accordance with Regulation S-K, Item 304 (a)(i)(v), in connection
with the audits of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000, and
the subsequent unaudited period through July 26, 2001, KPMG LLP has advised the
Company that the internal controls in the areas of inventories, account
reconciliations, accounts receivable, allowance for sales returns, customer
credits and rebates, revenue recognition and check disbursements, which, in the
aggregate, are necessary for the Company to develop reliable financial
statements, do not exist.

         A letter from KPMG LLP to the Securities and Exchange Commission is
attached as Exhibit 16.1


ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

(c)      Exhibits.
