(With Mr. Vichien Thamtrakul's report dated November 5, 1999) LOXLEY PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998 "UNAUDITED", "REVIEWED" 1. EFFECT OF ECONOMIC CRISIS The interim financial statements for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 have been prepared in conformity with the accounting assumptions to a going concern and included the effects of the economic crisis to the extent they are known and can be estimated. Starting from the middle of 1997, the operations of the Company and subsidiaries have been affected and continue to be affected to the date of this report by the volatility in Baht currency and adverse economic conditions in Thailand. In addition, the commencing in commercial operations of a subsidiary according to its operations' plan is uncertain due to certain legal issues. Even though, during the past year upto the present, the volatility in Baht currency was changed for the better, interest rates were lowered and more credit was provided by the financial institutions to the private sector, the general deterioration of the economies of countries in this region caused the slow recovery of the economy in Thailand. Management of the Company has developed plans and implemented certain measures to cushion the impact of the crisis. Among others, these include : a) reviewing the viability of certain investment projects. b) negotiating the debt restructuring of Euro Convertible Bonds with the bondholders. c) reducing the holding of investments in non-core businesses. d) establishing control procedures with the aim to improve productivity as well as implementing various cost reduction programs. The operations of the Company and subsidiaries have been affected, and may continue to be affected, for the foreseeable future by the adverse economic conditions in Thailand and Asia Pacific. The change in foreign currency exchange system has greatly increased burden on foreign liabilities in terms of Baht currency, especially, the liabilies from Euro Convertible Bonds (ECD) (Note 10). Because the redemption period will be effect in the near future, in consideration, thereon, the Company had appointed the financial advisors to provide assitance relating to the debt restructuring of these ECD. However, as at September 30, 1999, the eventual outcome of the debt restructuring plan cannot be presently determined. Therefore, the Company 's continuted operations as a going concern is dependent upon a) the success in the said debt restructuring plan b) the ability to operate profitable and to generate sufficient fund to meet the debts as well as being able to generate a sufficient amount of taxable income that - 2 - will fully utilize the deferred income tax. The accompanying interim financial statements do no include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the assets and the restatement of liabilities at the amount which the Company and subsidiaries will have to pay or the classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company and subsidiaries be unable to continue as a going concern. 2.
