FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SECOND QUARTER 2000

AUDITOR'S REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Electricity Generating Public Company Limited I have reviewed the accompanying consolidated and company balance sheets of Electricity Generating Public Company Limited as at 30 June 2000, the related consolidated and company statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated and company statements of changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended 30 June 2000 and 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. My responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on my review. I conducted my review in accordance with the standard of auditing 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. I have not performed an audit and, accordingly, I do not express an audit opinion. Based on my review, nothing has come to my attention that causes me to believe that the consolidated and company financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respect, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As described in note 2 to the consolidated and company interim financial statements, the Group changed its accounting policies as follows: (a) In the fourth quarter of 1999 the Group changed its accounting policy in respect of capitalisation of deferred pre-operating expenses and other deferred expenses to expense such cost as incurred. (b) In accordance with the Thai Accounting Standard No. 41, "Interim Financial Reporting", the Group reviewed its accounting policy in respect of major repair and maintenance expenses in the interim financial statements. As a result of this review, major repair and maintenance expenses are recorded as and when incurred in the interim financial statements. The Group, therefore, accounted for the changes in accounting policy in (a) retrospectively by adjusting to the opening retained earnings as at 1 January 1999. The comparative statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 1999 and the comparative statements of changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the six-month period ended 30 June 1999 have been restated accordingly for the changes in both (a) and (b). I have reviewed the adjustments that they are appropriately made. I have audited the consolidated and company financial statements for the year ended 31 December 1999 of Electricity Generating Public Company Limited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements in my report dated 4 February 2000. The consolidated and company balance sheets as at 31 December 1999, presented for comparative purpose, are part of the audited financial statements which I have audited and issued a report thereon as stated above, and I have not performed any other auditing procedures subsequent to the date of that report.
