INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENT AS AT JUNE 30,2000

15 August 2000
NOBLE DEVELOPMENT PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENT (UNAUDITED) 30 June 2000 AUDITOR'S REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Noble Development Public Company Limited I have reviewed the accompanying consolidated and company balance sheets of Noble Development Public Company Limited as at 30 June 2000 and the related consolidated and company statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 2000 and the related consolidated and company statements of changes in shareholders' equity, retained earnings and cash flows for the six-month period ended 30 June 2000. 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 in the first paragraph are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated and company financial statements for the year ended 31 December 1999 were audited by another independent auditor whose report dated 18 February 2000 expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those financial statements. As explained in note 12 to the financial statements, the consolidated and the company balance sheets as at 31 December 1999 have been restated to reflect the results of correction of errors in prior years and certain reclassifications to comply with the classifications of the financial statements for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 2000. The interim consolidated and company financial statements for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 1999 were reviewed by another independent auditor whose report dated 4 August 1999 expressed that she 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. The consolidated and company statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 1999, the related consolidated and company statements of changes in shareholders' equity, retained earnings and cash flows for six-month period ended 30 June 1999, presented herewith for comparative purposes, are components of the financial statements which were reviewed by another independent auditor as stated above. The adjustments referred to in paragraph 4 may have an impact on the operating results in several accounting periods in the past. However, the management is of the opinion that the costs to be incurred in determining the correct periods to which those adjustments belong to would not outweigh the benefits to be derived from obtaining such information. Therefore, all adjustments have been made to the last quarter of 1999.
