FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED DEC. 31, 2000

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS PADAENG INDUSTRY PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Padaeng Industry Public Company Limited and subsidiaries and the balance sheets of Padaeng Industry Public Company Limited as at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated and the Companys statements of income, changes in shareholders equity, retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management as to their correctness and completeness of the presentation. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated and the Companys financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Padaeng Industry Public Company Limited and subsidiaries and of Padaeng Industry Public Company Limited as at December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the result of operations, the changes in shareholders equity and the cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As described in Note 13 to the financial statements, the Company still has uncertainty related to the recoverability of the compensation which was paid to a company amounting to Baht 40.9 million because the Company submitted its concession application for approval, and the outcome of which is not known at this time.
