NOBLE DEVELOPMENT PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2000 AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Shareholders of Noble Development Public Company Limited I have audited the accompanying consolidated and company balance sheets of Noble Development Public Company Limited as at 31 December 2000 and the related consolidated and company statements of income,changes in shareholders' equity, retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended.These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management.My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits. The consolidated and company financial statements of Noble Development Public Company Limited for the year ended 31 December 1999, before restatements, were audited by another independent auditor whose report dated 18 February 2000 expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those statements. I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, the consolidated and company financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated and company financial position of Noble Development Public Company Limited as at 31 December 2000 and the consolidated and company results of operations and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As explained in note 24 to the consolidated and company financial statements, the company has restated the consolidated and company financial statements for the year ended 31 December 1999, which are presented for comparative purpose, to reflect the results of correction of errors in prior years and certain reclassifications to comply with the classifications for the year ended 31 December 2000. I have examined the adjustments referred to in note 24, and in my opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied to restate the 1999 consolidated and company financial statements.
