ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
Effective November 29, 2000, the Board of Directors of PH Group Inc. (the
"Company") agreed to dismiss the accounting firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, which
had served as independent public accountants for the Company prior to and until
November 29, 2000. The Company appointed the accounting firm of GBQ Partners LLP
to serve as independent public accountants for the Company effective December 1,
2000.
The reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP on the financial statements for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998 contained no adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion and neither of such reports was qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
There have been no disagreements between the Company and Deloitte & Touche LLP
on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, during the fiscal years ended
December 31, 1998, and December 31, 1999, or in the interim period of January
1,2000 through November 29, 2000, which disagreements, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP, would have caused it to make a reference
to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report.
