The financial statements of Research & Consultance Co.,Ltd. which are presented for comparison, were examined by another auditor whose report date April 17, 1997 stated that the company was organized and registered as a limited company on November 14,1994 and has not been in operations, therefor it did not prepare the statement of income. In our opinion, the aforementioned financial statements present fairly the financial position of Noble Development Public Company Limited and consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the changes in its shareholders' equity, the results of operations and the cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.
