Parente, Randolph, Orlando & Associates $($Parente$)$ is an accounting firm that had done auditing work for Sparkomatic for nearly $20$ years. On June $14,1993,$ Sparkomatic entered into a Memorandum of Intent with Williams Controls to sell Williams assets from Sparkomatic Kenco division. The sale price was to be the $$audited book value$$ of the assets, and the book value would be based on the June $30,1993,$ balance sheet $($which Parente did not prepare$).$ Sparkomatic then engaged Parente to audit the financial statements for December $31,1990,1991,$ and $1992$ and to prepare an interim balance sheet for $1993.$ On August $1,1993,$ Sparkomatic and Williams Controls entered into an asset purchase agreement, which required that Williams be furnished financials through June $1993$ as prepared by $$Sparkomatic independent public accountant.$$ Parente was not identified by name in the agreement. Parente did review the asset purchase agreement with Williams prior to commencing its work and knew that Williams would be using the information Parente prepared. Following the closing, additional information came to light indicating that Williams had overpaid for the assets of Kenco, and Williams filed suit against Parente for negligence, negligent misrepre$-$ sentation$,$ and breach of contract. Parente moved for summary judgment. What should the decision be and why? Discuss several possible theories. $[$Williams Controls v$.$ Parente, Randolph, Orlando, & Associates, $39$ F$.$ Supp. $2$d $517($M$.$D$.$ Pa$.)]$
