FINANCIAL STATEMENT Q1/2001-CENTRAL PATTANA PCL.
AUDITOR'S REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Central Pattana Public Company Limited
I have reviewed the accompanying consolidated and company balance sheets as at 31 March
2001 of Central Pattana Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries and of Central Pattana
Public Company Limited, respectively, and the related consolidated and company statements of
income, changes in shareholders' equity, retained earnings and cash flows for the three-month
periods ended 31 March 2001 and 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. My responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements
based on my reviews.
I conducted my reviews in accordance with the standard of auditing 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 misstatement. 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. I have not performed an audit, and,
accordingly, I do not express an audit opinion.
Based on my reviews, nothing has come to my attention that causes me to believe that the
interim consolidated and company 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 consolidated and company financial statements for the year ended
31 December 2000 in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and expressed an
unqualified opinion on those statements in my report dated 26 February 2001. The consolidated
and company balance sheets as at 31 December 2000, presented for comparative purpose, are
components of the financial statements which I have audited and issued a report thereon as
stated above, and I have not performed any other auditing procedures subsequent to the date of
that report.
