Audited Financial Statements

We have audited the balance sheets of Rama IX Art Museum Foundation as at December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related statements of income and expenditure and changes in funds' equity for the years then ended.These financial statements are the responsibility of the Foundation's management as to their correctness and completeness of the presentation. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

Except as discussed in the third and fourth paragraphs, we conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We did not present at the physical stock taking of supplies as at December 31, 1998, because the volume of accounting transactions would not be commensurate with the expense to reconcile the related transactions. In addition, we were unable to satisfy ourselves as to the quantities of the supplies by means of other auditing procedures.

As discussed in Note 4.4 to the financial statements, value of donated artworks estimated by the individual artists as at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was Baht 14.50 million and Baht 13.92 million. We were unable to satisfy ourselves as to the value of the artworks by means of other auditing procedure because there was no market price for comparison.

In our opinion, except for the effect of adjustment on the financial statements for 1999, which might have been determined to be necessary had we been able to audit the quantities of supplies as discussed in the third paragraph and on the financial statements for 2000 and 1999, had we been able to audit the value of donated artworks as discussed in the fourth paragraph, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rama IX Art Museum Foundation as at December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the income and expenditure and changes in funds' equity for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

8. DISCLOSURE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Accounting Standards No. 48, "Financial Instruments : Disclosure and Presentation" requires certain fair value disclosures. Considerable judgement is necessarily required in estimation of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amount that could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Foundation in estimating fair value of financial instruments.

Cash in hand and at banks, deposits at financial institutions and other current assets; the carrying values approximate their fair values.

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities; the carrying values approximately their fair values.

As at December 31, 2000, the carrying values of the financial liabilities which are different from the fair values are as follows :


Carrying Value Fair Value
Financial liabilities
Long-term loan including current portion due within 1 year 3,000,000 2,656,671

The fair value of long-term loan is estimated using present value of cash flows based on discount rate of 8.5%.
