REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DUSIT THANI PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Dusit Thani Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries and the equity method balance sheet of Dusit Thani Public Company Limited as at March 31, 1999 and the related consolidated and equity method statements of income and cash flows for the quarter then ended in accordance with standards established by The Institute of Certified Accountants and Auditors of Thailand. The financial statements of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were reviewed by another auditor of the same firm whose report thereon dated May 12, 1998 stated that he was not aware of any other material modifications that should be made to such interim financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, except that the interim financial statements of certain subsidiary and associated companies had not been reviewed. In addition, the consolidated and equity method financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1998 were audited by such auditor of the same firm whose report thereon dated February 25, 1999 expressed a qualified opinion regarding the financial statements of certain subsidiary and associated companies in the consolidated and equity method financial statements which had not been audited. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of obtaining an understanding of the system for the preparation of interim financial statements, applying analytical 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. - 2 - In the consolidated interim financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the financial statements of certain subsidiaries have not been reviewed. Total assets and total revenues of these companies constituted 27.82 % and 24.06 % of the related consolidated totals at March 31, 1999, respectively. In the equity method interim financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the financial statements of certain subsidiary and associated companies have not been reviewed. Equity in undistributed net loss of these companies constituted 11.71% of net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Based on our review, with the exception of the matters described in the third paragraph, we are not aware of any other material modifications that should be made to the consolidated and equity method interim financial statements referred to in the first paragraph in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We draw attention to Note 1 to the interim financial statements. The countrys unstable economy has to a certain extent affected, and may continue to affect, the operations of the Company.
