                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Board of Directors
Vertech Systems, LLC

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Vertech Systems, LLC as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of operations, members'
deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the period from
inception, August 29, 1997, to December 31, 1997. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Vertech Systems, LLC as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the period from inception, August 29,
1997, to December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company had a net loss
of $215,606 for the period from inception, August 29, 1997, to December 31,
1997, and a net loss of $1,027,945 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and had
a working capital deficit of $231,048 and $122,252 at December 31, 1997 and
1998, respectively. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company was sold subsequent to year
end, as discussed in Note 13.

    1.  GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
        -------------------------------------------------------

        GENERAL - Vertech Systems, LLC (the "Company") was formed in August 1997
        as a Delaware corporation and designs, manufactures and markets vertical
        injection molding equipment. Vertical molding machinery is a niche
        market targeted at customers needing to mold plastic around some other
        object.

        On January 6, 1998, the Company merged with Vertech Systems, LLC (the
        "LLC"). All assets, rights, liabilities and obligations of the Company
        were transferred to Vertech Systems, LLC. The stockholders of the
        Company became members of the LLC, and their stockholdings were
        converted into common units of the LLC on a one-for-one basis. All of
        the common stock grants of the corporation become common unit grants of
        the LLC under the same terms. Vertech Systems, LLC has authority to
        issue up to 500,000 units designated as preferred units, with such
        designation, rights and preferences as it may determine.

        INVENTORY - Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market, with
        cost determined on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.

        PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment is recorded at cost and
        depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
        lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to
        expense as incurred.

        OTHER ASSETS - Other assets consist primarily of a patent and
        organization costs. The patent is recorded at cost and is being
        amortized on the straight-line method over 15 years. Organization costs
        are being amortized over five years.

        RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT - Research and development costs are expensed
        as incurred. Research and development costs expensed for the year ended
        December 31, 1998 amounted to $58,221 and for the period from inception
        to December 31, 1997, amounted to $34,554.

        ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
        generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
        estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
        liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
        date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
        and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
        from those estimates.

  1.    GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:  (continued)
        ------------------------------------------------------

        FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - The Company was treated as an S Corporation in
        accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 1362 from inception until
        January 6, 1998. On January 6, 1998, the Company merged with Vertech
        Systems, LLC, a limited liability company. Accordingly, no provision for
        Federal income taxes has been recorded by the Company.

        CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - The Company periodically maintains
        deposits in banks which exceed the amount of federal deposit insurance
        available. Management believes the possibility of loss on these deposits
        is minimal.


    2.  GOING CONCERN:
        --------------

        As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net
        loss of $1,027,945 and $215,606 for the periods ended December 31, 1998
        and 1997, respectively. The Company had a working deficit of $122,252
        and $231,048 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. These

                                      -6-

<PAGE>   9


        matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
        as a going concern. As discussed in Note 13, the Company was purchased
        by a third party in 1999.


    3.  INVENTORY:
        ----------

        Inventory consisted of the following as of the dates indicated:

        advances under the line is payable monthly at the bank's prime rate plus
        .5% (8.25% at December 31, 1998). The line of credit is collateralized
        by substantially all of the assets of the Company and is guaranteed by
        the Company's president. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, $35,428 and

        the time of each advance, the Company may choose between two interest
        rate/loan repayment options: a fixed option or a variable option. At

        its advances. Under this option, interest due under the line is fixed at
        the Treasury Rate, as defined, plus 2.25% at the time of an advance.
        Principal and interest on each advance is payable monthly in equal
        monthly installments sufficient to amortize the principal between 36

        proceeds from this line of credit and is guaranteed by the president of
        the Company. At December 31, 1998, amounts outstanding under this line
        of credit totaled $532,588. At December 31, 1997, amounts outstanding
        under this line of credit totaled $451,196. At December 31, 1998, the

    10. STOCK GRANTS:
        -------------

        In February 1998, the Company created the 1998 Unit Option Plan (the
        "Plan"). The Plan provides for grants of nonqualified or incentive stock
        options. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of the
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting
        for Stock-Based Compensation. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
        recognized for the Plan as the exercise price of the options exceeded
        management's estimate of the fair value of the underlying member units.
        Had compensation cost of the Company's stock option plan been determined
        based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in 1998 consistent
        with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's pre-tax income in
        1998 would have been reduced by an amount not material to the financial
        statements.

        Under the Plan, 100,000 is the total number of units of common units
        that may be granted. Each option vests over a period determined by the
        Company's Compensation Committee. The maximum term of the options is ten
        years, and the vested options may be exercised any time during the
        option period.

        Options to acquire 6,000 member units with an exercise price of $5.25
        have been issued under the Plan. As of December 31, 1998, all of these
        options were outstanding and were vested. These options were terminated
        as a result of the subsequent sale of the Company (see Note 13).


    11. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS:
        --------------------

        UNIT SPLIT - On January 27, 1998, the Board of Vertech Systems, LLC
        declared a 10-to-1 common unit split. This increased the number of units
        outstanding from 63,000 to 630,000. All references in the financial
        statements to number of units of the Company's common units have been
        retroactively restated to reflect the unit split.

        PREFERRED UNIT OFFERING - During the year ended December 31, 1998, the
        Company sold $1,250,000 of Series A convertible preferred units. The
        Company had 500,000 shares of preferred units authorized; 416,667 were
        issued and outstanding at December 31, 1998. These units (all or a
        portion thereof) are convertible at the holders' option anytime into
        common units. The conversion is computed by multiplying the number of
        preferred units by $3.00.

    11. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS:  (continued)
        --------------------

        During 1998, the Company granted to one employee 20,000 member units
        that vested immediately. As of December 31, 1998, 28,000 shares were
        fully vested. No compensation expense was recorded upon issuance of
        these units because the fair value of such units was considered to be
        immaterial.


    12. YEAR 2000:
        ----------

        The Company has begun to address possible remedial efforts in connection
        with computer software that could be affected by the Year 2000 problem.
        The Year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs being written
        using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any
        programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using
        "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a
        major system failure or miscalculations. The Year 2000 problem may
        impact or be impacted by other entities with whom the Company transacts
        business.

    13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
        ------------------

        On April 1, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with PH Group,
        Inc., a publicly-traded manufacturer based in Columbus, Ohio, to sell
        all of its assets. Under the agreement, PH Group, Inc. will receive
        title to all assets including property, equipment, patents, trademarks,
        accounts receivable, and sales contracts in return for a cash payment of
        $400,000 and the assumption of up to $650,000 in debt. PH Group, Inc.
        will assume all open accounts payable on the books as of April 1, 1999
        and for any subsequent payables for a period of 30 calendar days. The
        Company will receive a total of 50,000 shares of PH Group, Inc. common
        stock. All Vertech Unit Holders, common and preferred, will receive
        future royalties from the sale of any machine that is manufactured by PH
        Group, Inc. with Vertech-designed technology equal to 5% of the gross
        selling price of any such machine for a period of ten years. In
        addition, Vertech Unit Holders will receive a "Net Profits Interest"
        equal to 5% of the net profit from the sale of said machines for a
        period of ten years. Upon closing of this agreement, Vertech Systems,
        LLC will discontinue ongoing operations and will permanently close its
        manufacturing facility.


         (b) Pro Forma Financial Information. The following pro forma financial
information is being filed in order to satisfy the pro forma financial
information requirement for the Form 8-K filed on April 15, 1999.

Effective April 1, 1999 (the "Closing Date"), the Registrant, PH Group Inc.
("PHHH"), purchased substantially all of the assets of Vertech Systems, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company with operations based at 6125 West Sam
Houston Parkway, North, Suite 406, Houston, Texas ("Seller"), pursuant to an
Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement between the Seller and PHHH dated
April 1, 1999 (the "Agreement"). Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller was
engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of small insert injection molding
machines (the "Business").

         PHHH purchased, among other things, all of the Seller's licenses and
permits, deposits, inventory, equipment, accounts receivable and purchase orders
including all work in progress. Under the Agreement, Seller licensed to PHHH
certain intangible assets relating to the Business including all of Seller's
trademarks, trade names, trade secrets, corporate names, designs, patents and
other intellectual property related to the Business. Upon payment in full of the
promissory notes described below, title to the intangible assets transfers to
PHHH.

         As consideration for the sale and purchase of the assets and the
license of the intangible assets, PHHH:

                (i)     delivered a promissory note in the principal amount of
                        $650,000 payable over approximately four years,

                (ii)    assumed certain contractual obligations of the Seller
                        including certain trade payables not exceeding $100,000
                        in the aggregate,

                (iii)   delivered a promissory note in the principal amount of
                        $350,000 payable over two years,

                (iv)    paid the Seller $25,000 at closing in addition to the
                        $25,000 already paid the Seller,

                (v)     issued 50,000 shares of common stock of PHHH to the
                        members of the Seller,
