The review of such financial statements 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 interim 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 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 Companys management, as discussed in Note 4 to the interim financial statements that in 1997, the Company changed its methods of accounting for income taxes and land revaluation. - 2 - The Company accounts for its investments in subsidiaries and associated companies by the equity method. However, the interim financial statements of certain associated companies which were used as a basis for accounting for the investments under the equity method, had not been reviewed by the auditors. As at September 30, 1998 and 1997, the investments in such associated companies amounted to approximately Baht 633.8 million and Baht 920.8 million which equivalent to 4.9% and 6.1% of total assets in the consolidated balance sheets and 6.1% and 7.9% of total assets of the Company balance sheets, of each period, respectively. The equity in the results of operations of such associated companies which were included in the statements of income for the three-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, reported net income amounted to approximately Baht 27.9 million and Baht 9 million,which equivalent to 5.6% and 0.5% of consolidated net income (loss) and 5.4% and 0.5% of the Company net income (loss) for each period, respectively and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, reported net income amounted to approximately Baht 117.2 million and Baht 2.7 million, which equivalent to 9.3% and 0.2% of consolidated net income (loss) and 9.1% and 0.2% of the Company net income (loss) for each period, respectively Based on our review, except for the effects on the consolidated interim financial statements and the interim financial statements for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 of such adjustments, if any, as might have been required had the result of the review of the interim financial statements of the associated companies discussed in the fourth paragraph been known, 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.
