ANNUAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1999 - CPN

Central Pattana Public Company Limited FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 1999 AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Shareholders of Central Pattana Public Company Limited I have audited the accompanying consolidated and company balance sheet of Central Pattana Public Company Limited as at 31 December 1999, and the related consolidated and company statement of income, of changes in shareholders' equity, of retained earnings, and of cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. The consolidated and company financial statements for the year ended 31 December 1998 of Central Pattana Public Company Limited, presented herewith for comparative purpose, were audited by another independent auditor whose report dated 12 February 1999, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. As explained in Note 25 to the financial statements, the Company has restated the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 1998 for comparative purpose to reflect the result of cumulative effects from the change in its accounting policy on pre-operating expenses to comply with the new accounting framework and prior year adjustment. I have examined the adjustments described in Note 25 to the financial statements, and in my opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied to restate the 1998 consolidated and company financial statements. I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Thailand. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Central Pattana Public Company Limited as at 31 December 1999, and the results of its operations, changes in shareholders' equity and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Thailand. I draw attention to Note 32 to the financial statements which is marked "unaudited". Information regarding the Year 2000 issues as presented in this note has not been subjected to auditing procedures, and, accordingly, I express no opinion on it.

The address of its registered office is as follows: 1693 Phaholyothin Road, Lardyao, Chatuchak, Bangkok 10900. The Company is listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. The principal business operations of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) are summarised as follows: (1) Construction of shopping center building, condominium and shophouse for rent (2) Provision of utility services in shopping center. (3) Produce, sales of food and beverage and import of food, biscuits and beverage 2 Significant Accounting Policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated and company financial statements are set out below: 2.1 Basis for preparation The consolidated and company financial statements are prepared in accordance with and comply with generally accepted accounting principles in Thailand. The consolidated and company financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain marketable securities. 2.2 Consolidation Subsidiary undertakings, which are those companies in which the Group, directly or indirectly, has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies, have been consolidated. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which effective control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date of disposal. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised surpluses and deficits on transactions between group companies have been eliminated. Where necessary, accounting policies for subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Separate disclosure is made for minority interests in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated income statement. A listing of the Group's principal subsidiaries is set out in Note 10 to the financial statements. 2.3 Investments in subsidiaries Investments in subsidiary undertakings are accounted for in the non-consolidated financial statements by the equity method of accounting. These are undertakings over which the Company has over 50% of the voting rights, and over which the Company exercises control. Provisions are recorded for impairment in value. Equity accounting involves recognising in the income statement the Company's share of the subsidiaries' profit or loss for the year. The Company's interest in the subsidiary is carried in the balance sheet at an amount that reflects its share of the net assets of the subsidiary and includes goodwill on the acquisition. 2.4 Negative goodwill Negative goodwill represents the excess of the fair value in land over the cost of an acquisition of the Group's share of the net assets of the acquired subsidiary undertaking at the date of acquisition. Negative goodwill on acquisition is reported in the balance sheet under shareholders' equity. 2.5 Foreign currencies Foreign currency transactions in Group companies are accounted for at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are recognised in the income statement. Such balances are translated at year-end exchange rates unless hedged by forward foreign exchange contracts, in which case the rates specified in such forward contracts are used. Exchange gains and losses and hedging costs arising on contracts entered into as hedges of specific revenue or expense transactions and of anticipated future transactions are deferred until the date of such transactions at which time they are included in the determination of such revenue and expenses. All other exchange gains and losses relating to hedge transactions are recognised in the income statement in the same period as the exchange differences on the items covered by the hedge transactions. Costs on such contracts are amortised over the life of the hedge contract. Gains and losses on contracts which are no longer designated as hedges are included in the income statement. 2.6 Trade receivables Trade receivables are carried at anticipated realisable value. The Group's management estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts from the ending balance of accounts receivable. The estimate encompasses consideration of past collection experiences, customers' deposit and other factors such as, changes in the composition and volume of the receivable, the relationship of the allowance to the receivable and the local economic conditions. Bad debts are written off during the year in which they are identified. 2.7 Short-term investments (more)
