Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
---------------------------------------------
At a meeting held on September 23, 1999, the Board of Directors of China
Container Holdings Limited (the "Company") approved the engagement of Horwath
Gelfond Hochstadt Pangburn & Co. as independent auditors of the Company for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, to replace Ernst & Young ("E&Y"), who were
dismissed as the Company's auditors effective on September 23, 1999.
The reports of independent auditors of E&Y on the Company's financial
statements for the two years ended December 31, 1997 did not contain an adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1997, there were no
disagreements with E&Y on any matters of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures which, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y would have caused E&Y to make reference to
the subject matter in their report. The Company has requested E&Y to furnish it
a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above
statements. A copy of E&Y's letter dated October 29, 1999, is filed as an
exhibit to this Report.
