BEC WORLD PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998 AUDITOR'S REPORT To The Shareholders BEC World Public Company Limited I have made a review of the consolidated balance sheets of BEC World Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries (the "Group") and the balance sheets of BEC World Public Company Limited (the "Company") as at September 30, 1999, and 1998, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, retained earnings and cash flows for the three - month and nine - month periods then ended for each year, in accordance with standards established by the Institute of Certified Accountants and Auditors of Thailand. A review of consolidated interim financial information and interim financial information of the Company only consists principally of obtaining an understanding of the system for the preparation of interim financial information, applying analytical review procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. They are 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 to the interim financial statements. Based on my review, I am not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements of BEC - TERO (YANGON) COMPANY LIMITED which is located in The Union of Myanmar holding stocks by subsidiary, have not been reviewed by the auditors. The information in the financial statements relating to such subsidiary based on the management's data as at September 30, 1999, of which its assets representing at 0.07% -2- in the consolidated financial statements, and its revenue for the three- month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 in the consolidated financial statements representing at 0.14% and 0.19%, respectively. The portion of loss of associate company as recorded in the consolidated interim financial statements and interim financial statements of the Company only for the three - month and nine - month periods ended September 30, 1999 calculated from the financial statements reviewed by other auditor representing 0.99% and 1.67% of net income, respectively. The portion of loss of associate company as recorded in the consolidated interim financial statements and interim financial statements of the Company only for the three - month and nine - month periods ended September 30, 1998 calculated from the the data prepared by the management of associate company who is responsible for the correctness and completeness of the information, representing 5.73% and 3.30% of net income, respectively.
