14 November 2000
HAAD THIP PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND REVIEW REPORT OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT EXPRESSED IN Thai Baht REVIEW REPORT OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT To The Board of Directors of Haad Thip Public Company Limited I have reviewed the balance sheet as at September 30, 2000, and the related statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, the statements of changes in shareholders' quity, retained earnings and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 of Haad Thip Public Company Limited. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management as to their correctness and completeness of the presentation. My responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on my review. The interim financial statements of Haad Thip Public Company Limited for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999, which are presented for comparative purposes, were reviewed by Mr.Prasit Musikabhantu, who at that time was an auditor in my firm. I conducted my review in accordance with the auditing standard applicable to review engagements. This standard requires that I plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Accordingly, I do not express an audit opinion. Based on my review, nothing has come to my attention that causes me to believe that the interim financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. I have previously audited the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1999 of Haad Thip Public Company Limited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and issued my report dated February 10, 2000, expressing an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. The balance sheet as at December 31, 1999, presented herein for comparative purposes, is a part of such audited financial statements. I have not performed any auditing procedures subsequent to my report date. As discussed in Note 4 to the interim financial statements, the Company changed the method of recording of land from cost method to appraisal method in the second quarter of 2000.
