FINANCIAL STATEMENTS QUARTER 1ST 1999

THE UNION MOSAIC INDUSTRY PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED AUDITOR'S REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998 UNAUDITED/REVIEWED ONLY AUDITOR'S REPORT To The Shareholders of THE UNION MOSAIC INDUSTRY PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED I have reviewed the balance sheet of THE UNION MOSAIC INDUSTRY PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED as at March 31,1999 and 1998,and related statements of income,statements of changes in shareholders'equity,retained earnings and statement of cash flows for the three months then ended. Our review was made in accordance with standards prescribed by the Institute of Certified Accountants and auditors of Thailand. Net loss of four associated companies which were brought into the computation of investment under equity method, were taken from their respective unreviewed financial statements. Investment in the aforementioned associated companies of the company which has shareholding of 0.65 per cent and 1.65 per cent of total assets. The company's loss from investment represented (0.22) per cent and 3.45 per cent of net gain (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. An interim review of the financial statements mostly comprises the study of financial statements preparation system, the analytical review of financial information and the inquiries made among the company's staff whose duties are relevant to the company's finance and accounting. Such a review normally has more limitations than generally accepted auditing standards for an auditor to express his opinion on the financial statements. We, therefore, cannot express our opinion on the financial statements that we have only reviewed due to the aforementioned reason. However, during our review of the aforementioned financial statements except for limited scope mentioned in the seconed paragraph, we have not found any material discrepancies that need to be adjusted in the interim financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles. I draw your attention to the following notes to financial statements: 1. As stated in notes to financial statements no.1, the effect of adverse economic crisis in Thailand and overall Asia-Pacific countries resulting from the currency devaluation and the economic slowdown. The company operates the real estate business, which is severely affected from the above situation and may continue to be affected for the foreseeable future. 2. As stated in notes to financial statements no. 10, the company has temporarily suspended the project under construction- factory expansion with the investment value amount of Baht 368.22 million in 1999, and amount of Baht 346.46 million in 1998, due to the economic fluctuation and slowdown in the real estate business as stated in note 1. However, the company expects to take benefit in the future when the economic is recovered. - 2 - 3. As stated in notes to financial statements no. 10, the excess value of land appraisal of Baht 266,102,532.00 is land pre- appraisal in 1996 by the independent appraiser. Up to now, the company has not reappraised of such land. Due to economic crisis in Thailand having much affect to the real estate business, it is uncertain whether the recent appraisal value of land will be equal to current appraisal value. Morever, the result of the company's operation incurred net loss for three consecutive years with unappropriated deficit of Baht 403,102,432.95 in 1999 and Baht 51,786,777.66 in 1998. The shareholders' equity as at March 31, 1999 and 1998 showed the outstanding balance of Baht 713,800,099.05 and Baht 1,065,115,754.34 respectively, but the management expects that the company will have better operation in the future. 4. As stated in notes to financial statements no. 14, regarding to long-term loan, the company had modified the loan agreement with the first instalment due in 1998 totalling Baht 153,426,000.00 and current portion of long-term debt amount of Baht 625,964,400.00 in 1999 and amount of Baht 321,748,760.00 in 1998. Up to now, the company has not made repayment upon the new agreement since the company is negotiating to decrease the interest rate and extend term of principal repayment. 5. As stated in notes to financial statements no. 11, the deposit for machineries of Baht 45.6 million in 1999 (Baht 45.7 million in 1998). The company has suspended to purchase machineries due to the econmic volatility as stated in note 1. The company has not provided the allowance for doubtful accounts of such deposit. The management believes that when the economic is recovered, the company will able to purchase machineries. Office of D I A International Auditing (Mrs.Vilairat Rojnuckarin) C.P.A.
