Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On December 4, 1997, Union Pacific Resources Group Inc. (the
"Company"), with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors, dismissed Deloitte & Touche LLP ("D&T") as its independent
accountants, effective upon D&T's completion of its audit of the Company's
financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 and filing on
March 26, 1998 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1997. The reports of D&T on the financial statements of the Company
for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 did not contain an adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During such years and the date
on which D&T was dismissed, there was no disagreement between the Company and
D&T on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved
to the satisfaction of D&T, would have caused D&T to make reference to the
subject matter of such disagreement in connection with its report on the
Company's financial statements.
