ITEM 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On November 3, 1998, Genta Incorporated (the "Registrant") filed a Form
8-K announcing that Ernst & Young LLP had resigned as the Registrant's principal
independent accountant on October 28, 1998.
On February 10, 1999, Genta Incorporated (the "Registrant") engaged
Deloitte & Touche LLP ("D&T") as the principal accountant to audit the
Registrant's financial statements.
During the Registrant's fiscal years ending December 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1997 and the subsequent interim period preceding the engagement of
D&T, neither the Registrant nor anyone on its behalf consulted D&T regarding the
application of accounting principles to a specific completed or proposed
transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the
Registrant's financial statements, which consultation resulted in the providing
of a written report or oral advice concerning the same to the Registrant that
D&T concluded was an important factor considered by the Registrant in reaching a
decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.
