CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Q2/2000

BEC WORLD PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999 AUDITOR'S REPORT ON REVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS To the Shareholders BEC World Public Company Limited I have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of BEC World Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries and the balance sheet of BEC World Public Company Limited as at June 30, 2000, and the related consolidated and the Company's statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 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 auditing standards applicable to review engagement. Those standards require that I plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review has limited primarily to inquiries of Company's personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Therefore, I do not express such an opinion to the reviewed financial statements. Based on my review, nothing has come to my attention that causes me to believe that such consolidated financial statements and the financial statements of the Company only not to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. I have audited the consolidated financial statements of BEC World Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the financial statements of BEC World Public Company Limited for the year then ended, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and presented with unqualified opinion according to the report on February 24, 2000. The balance sheet as at December 31, 1999, shown as comparison is an integral part of such audited and reported financial statements. I do not apply any other auditing procedures after the reported date.
