F/S Q3-1998 OF EGCO AND CONSOLIDATED (CORRECTED)

Report of the auditors to the shareholders of Electricity Generating Public Company Limited We have performed a review of the balance sheet of Electricity Generating Public Company Limited and the consolidated balance sheet of Electricity Generating Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries as at September 30,1998,and the related statements of income (loss) and change in shareholders' equity for the third quarter and the nine-month period then ended, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss) and change in shareholders' equity for the third quarter and the nine-month period then ended, in accordance with standards established by the Institute of Certified Accountants and Auditors of Thailand. A review of interim financial information 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. 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. The financial statements and consolidated financial statements for the third quarter and the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, which are presented for comparative purpose, were reviewed by another auditor, whose report dated October 30, 1997 was qualified for non-compliance with generally accepted accounting principles in respect of the deferral of exchange losses of two subsidiaries. As described in note 11 to the financial statements, these two subsidiaries recorded the exchange losses arising from the change to a managed float system as deferred expenses. However, in the government financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997, the company has changed the method of accounting to write off the exchange losses as extraordinary expenses in the statement of income (loss) in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements and consolidated financial statements for the third quarter and the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, therefore, have been restated to reflect this proper accounting for exchange losses. Page 2 Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the aforementioned financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
