FINANCIAL STATEMENT Q3/1999

15 November 1999
ADVANCED INFO SERVICE PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 30 SEPTEMBER 1999 AUDITOR'S REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS To the Shareholders of Advanced Info Service Public Company Limited I have performed a review of the accompanying consolidated and company balance sheets of Advanced Info Service Public Company Limited as at 30 September 1999 and the related consolidated and company statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, retained earnings, and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended. 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. The interim consolidated and company financial statements (before restatement) of Advanced Info Service Public Company Limited for the three-month and nine-month periods ended 30 September 1998 presented herewith for comparative purposes, except for the consolidated and company statements of cash flows, were reviewed by another independent auditor whose report dated 26 October 1998, expressed that he was not aware of any material modifications that should be made to those interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. I conducted my review in accordance with the standards established by the Institute of Certified Accountants and Auditors of Thailand. A review of interim consolidated and company financial statements consists principally of obtaining an understanding of the system for the preparation of the financial statements, making an analytical review of pertinent financial data, and making inquiries of officials of the Company who have the responsibility for financial and accounting matters. This review is substantially less in scope than an audit 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, I express no opinion on the interim consolidated and company financial statements which I have reviewed. As explained in note 2 to the financial statements, the company has reviewed its accounting for cost of mobile telephone networks under concession agreements and changed to amortise such cost over the period of the underlying assets with effect from 1 July 1999. The company has, therefore, restated its consolidated and company financial statements as at and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended 30 September 1998, which are presented for comparison purposes, to account for the changing in the period of amortisation for the cost of such mobile telephone networks. I have reviewed the adjustment, detailed in note 2, relating to the restatement of the consolidated and company financial statements as at and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended 30 September 1998. Based on my review, the adjustment is appropriately made. Based on my review, I am not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the interim consolidated and company financial statements, referred to in the first paragraph, for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
