ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
At a meeting held on July 10, 1998, the Board of Directors of PH Group Inc. (the
"Company") agreed to dismiss, effective July 21, 1998, the accounting firm of
Greene & Wallace, Inc., which had served as independent public accountants for
the Company prior to and until July 21, 1998. At the same meeting, the Company
agreed to appoint the accounting firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as
independent public accountants for the Company effective July 21, 1998. The
decision to change accountants was recommended by the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors, and approved by the Board.
The reports of Greene & Wallace, Inc. on the financial statements for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 1996, and December 31, 1997 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 Greene & Wallace, Inc.
on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, during the fiscal years ended
December 31, 1996, and December 31, 1997, or in the interim period of January
1,1998 through July 21, 1998, which disagreements, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of Greene & Wallace, Inc., would have caused it to make a reference
to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report.
