For conservatism, the Company recorded liabilities 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 as of July 2, 1997. Consequently, liabilities in foreign currency increased by approximately Baht 218 million (net of the related income tax approximately Baht 65 million), which is presented separately as extraordinary item in the statements of income. The accompanying interim financial statements for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998, include the effects of the economic crisis on the Company and subsidiaries to the extent they are known and can be estimated.
