FINANCIAL STATEMENTS QUARTER 2 (AS OF MARCH 31,2000)

PHATRA LEASING PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE-MONTH AND SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999 (With Comparative Balance Sheet as at September 30, 1999) AND REVIEW REPORT OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT EXPRESSED IN Thai Baht REVIEW REPORT OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT To The Board of Directors of Phatra Leasing Public Company Limited I have reviewed the balance sheet of Phatra Leasing Public Company Limited as at March 31, 2000, and the related statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2000, the statements of changes in shareholders' equity, retained earnings and cash flows for the six-month period ended March 31, 2000. The interim financial statements of Phatra Leasing Public Company Limited for the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 1999 which are presented for comparative purposes, were reviewed by Mr. Prasit Musikabhantu, an auditor in my firm. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management as to their correctness and completeness of the presentation. My responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on my review. I conducted my review in accordance with auditing standard applicable to review engagements. This standard requires that I plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Accordingly, I do not express such an opinion. Based on my review, nothing has come to my attention that causes me to believe that the financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements of Phatra Leasing Public Company Limited for the year ended September 30, 1999, were audited by Mr. Prasit Musikabhantu in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and in whose report dated November 16, 1999, expressing an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. The balance sheet as at September 30, 1999, presented herein for comparative purposes, is a part of such audited financial statements. I have not performed any auditing procedures subsequent to that report date. - 2 - The operations of the Company have been affected, and may continue to be affected for the foreseeable future, by the adverse economic conditions in Thailand and in the Asia Pacific region, including the volatile foreign exchange rates, slowdown in economic growth and the general deterioration of the economies of countries in the Asia Pacific region. Further, it is not possible to determine the future effect that a continuation of the economic crisis may have on the Company's liquidity and earnings. As of March 31, 2000 and September 30,1999 deferred income tax account included future tax benefit arising from loss carryforward amounting to Baht 8 million. Management strongly believes that the future tax benefit arising from loss carryforward can be utilized in the succeeding fiscal years. However, there are uncertainties that the above economic conditions may affect future operations and the adequacy of taxable income available against which such deferred income tax can be utilized. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from these uncertainties. VICHIEN THAMTRAKUL C.P.A.
