INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIODS

17 May 1999
LOXLEY PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998 AND REPORT OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT EXPRESSED IN Thai Baht REPORT OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT The Board of Directors of Loxley Public Company Limited I have made a review of the balance sheets of Loxley Public Company Limited and the consolidated balance sheets of Loxley Public Company Limited and subsidiaries as at March 31, 1999 and 1998, the related statements of income, deficit, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows of Loxley Public Company Limited and the consolidated statements of income, consolidated deficit, consolidated changes in shareholders' equity and consolidated cash flows of Loxley Public Company Limited and subsidiaries for the three-month periods then ended. 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, I do not express such an opinion. The Company accounts for the 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 March 31, 1999 and 1998, the investments in such associated companies amounted to approximately Baht 606 million and Baht 712.9 million which equivalent to 4.8 % and 4.8% of total assets in consolidated balance sheets and 6.1 % and 6.2% 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 March 31, 1999 and 1998 reported net income amounted to approximately Baht 31.7 million and Baht 49.5 million, which equivalent to 22.2% and 3.8% of consolidated net income (loss) and 20.2% and 3.8% of the Company net income (loss) for each period, respectively. - 2 - Based on my review, except for the effects on the consolidated interim financial statements and the interim financial statements for the three-month periods then ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 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 third paragraph been known, I am 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 (in Thailand). .
