FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
ADVANCED INFO SERVICE PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED
AND SUBSIDIARY
THIRD QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997
Accountants' Review Report
To the Shareholders
Advanced Info Service Public Company Limited:
We have made a review of the consolidated balance sheet of
Advanced Info Service Public Company Limited and subsidiary as at
September 30, 1998, and the related consolidated statements of income,
changes in shareholders' equity and retained earnings for the three-month
and nine-month periods then ended, and the separate financial statements
of Advanced Info Service Public Company Limited for the same periods, 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 consolidated financial statements of Advanced Info Service
Public Company Limited and subsidiary and the separate financial
statements of Advanced Info Service Public Company Limited for the three-
month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 were reviewed by
other auditors of the same Firm whose report dated October 31, 1997 stated
that they were not aware of any material modifications that should be made
to those statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements. The
operations of Advanced Info Service Public Company Limited and its
subsidiary since July 1997 have been affected and may continue to be
influenced for the foreseeable future by the economic conditions in
Thailand and the Asia Pacific Region in general. The ultimate effect that
these uncertainties will have on stated values or classifications of
assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date cannot presently be
determined.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements
in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
