INTERIM FINANCE STATEMENT Q2/1998

CENTRAL PATTANA PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE-MONTH AND SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997 AND AUDITORS' REPORT EXPRESSED IN Thai Baht The Board of Directors Central Pattana Public Company Limited We have made a review of the balance sheet of Central Pattana Public Company Limited and the consolidated balance sheet of Central Pattana Public Company Limited and subsidiaries as at June 30, 1998, and the related statement of income of Central Pattana Public Company Limited and the related consolidated statement of income of Central Pattana Public Company Limited and subsidiaries for the three-month and six-month periods then ended. The interim financial statements of Central Pattana Public Company Limited and the consolidated interim financial statements of Central Pattana Public Company Limited and subsidiaries for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997, which are presented for comparative purpose, were reviewed by Mr. Paitoon Taveebhol, the auditor of our firm. Our reviews were made in accordance with standards established by the Institute of Certified Accountants and Auditors of Thailand. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of obtaining an understanding of the system for the preparation of financial statements, applying analytical review procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an examination made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. We were informed by the management that, for conservatism, the Company recorded liabilities denominated in foreign currency, which are not covered by forward contracts as of June 30, 1997, based on the referenced exchange rates announced by the Bank of Thailand on July 2, 1997, which the Ministry of Finance had announced a change in the foreign currency exchange system to be a new managed float system. Consequently, foreign currency liabilities increased by approximately Baht 218 million , which is presented separately as extraordinary item in the statements of income at the amount net of income tax approximately Baht 65 million. However, on October 22, 1997, The Stock Exchange of Thailand sent a notice informing the Company to comply with the announcement of Institute of the Certified Accountants and Auditors of Thailand (dated September 19, 1997) in reporting losses resulting from floatingcurrency exchange system in the statement of income in the third quarter of 1997, which the Company for conservatism and in compliance with the accounting standards, had already recorded the loss in the consolidated statements of income and the statements of income for the second quarter and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997, before the notification. - 2 - Based on our review, with the exception of the matter discussed in the third paragraph, we are not aware of any other material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements and consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
