To: The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
The Post Publishing Public Company Limited

I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Post Publishing Public Company Limited and subsidiaries as at 31 December 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the separate financial statements of The Post Publishing Public Company Limited for the same periods. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management as to their correctness and the completeness of the presentation. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits.

I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audits 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of The Post Publishing Public Company Limited and subsidiaries and of The Post Publishing Public Company Limited as at 31 December 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
