Report of Indepent Auditor
Elephant Reintroduction Foundation, Bangkok, Thailand.

To The Board of
Elephant Reintroduction Foundation

I have audited the balance sheets of The Elephant Reintroduction Foundation, a non-profit organisation, as at 31 December 2005 and 2004, the related statements of revenues and expenses and changes in fund balance 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. 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 the Foundation's 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 position of The Elephant Reintroduction Foundation as at 31 December 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations for the years then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Since The Elephant Reintroduction Foundation is a foundation which operates for the public benefit and not for profit, therefore changes have been made to the recognition of transactions and the reporting in the financial statements to make them appropriate to a non-profit organisation.
