                  REPORT OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
    HOSOI GARDEN MORTUARY, INC.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of

                       HOSOI GARDEN MORTUARY, INC.

as of May 31, 2000  and 1999, and the related statements of income
and comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the years then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.

Except as discussed in the following paragraph, 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 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.  We believe that our audits and the reports of other
auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We were unable to obtain audited financial statements supporting
the Company's investment in Garden Life Plan, Ltd. (GLP) stated at
$1,649,721 at May 31, 2000 and 1999, or its equity in earnings of
GLP for its years ended May 31, 2000 and 1999; nor were we able to
satisfy ourselves about the carrying value of the investment or the
equity in its earnings by other auditing procedures.

Since the Company's investment in GLP and the equity in its
earnings materially affect the determination of financial position,
results of operations and cash flows, the scope of our work was not
sufficient to enable us to express, and we do not express, an
opinion on the financial statements referred to in the first
paragraph.

                     Years Ended May 31, 2000 and 1999



(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Line of business - The Company is engaged in one line of business
that consists principally of providing mortuary services in the
State of Hawaii on the island of Oahu.

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are
summarized below.

Fair value of financial instruments - The carrying amount of
cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the
short-term maturities of these instruments.  The fair value of
current and non-current marketable securities were estimated
based on quotes obtained from brokers for those or similar
instruments.  The fair value for long-term investments was
estimated based on quoted market price at year end.

Cash and cash equivalents - For the purpose of the statements of
cash flows, cash equivalents include certificates of deposit, money
market accounts and highly liquid debt instruments with maturities
of three months or less at the date of acquisition.

Investment securities - Management determines the appropriate
classification of securities at the time of purchase.  These
investments are classified in three categories and accounted for
as follows:

     .  Debt securities that the company intends to hold to
        maturity are classified as SECURITIES HELD-TO-MATURITY and
        reported at cost.

     .  Debt and equity securities that are purchased and held for
        the purpose of selling in the near term are classified as
        TRADING SECURITIES and reported at fair value, with
        unrealized gains and losses included in income.

     .  Debt and equity securities not classified as SECURITIES
        HELD-TO-MATURITY or TRADING SECURITIES are classified as
        SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE and reported at fair value,
        with unrealized gains and losses included in other
        comprehensive income.  SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE will
        be used as part of the Company's asset management strategy
        and may be sold in response to changes in market values or
        the need for capital.

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Investment in Garden Life Plan, Ltd. - The Company accounts for
its investment in Garden Life Plan, Ltd. (a 50% owned Company) by
the equity method of accounting.

Inventories - Inventories of caskets and urns are stated at the
lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined substantially by the
first-in, first-out method and market is based on replacement cost
or realizable value.

Property and equipment - Land, buildings and equipment are carried
at cost. Depreciation is computed using the declining-balance and
straight-line methods. Maintenance and repairs are charged to
income as incurred.  Major renewals and betterments are
capitalized.  Upon sale or other disposition of assets, the cost
and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts,
the proceeds applied thereto, and any resulting gain or loss is
reflected in income.

Compensated absences - Full-time  employees of the Company are
entitled to paid vacations and  sick days.  Unused vacation and
sick leave are reflected in accrued liabilities.

Earnings per common share - Earnings per common share has been
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding.

Revenue and cost recognition - Revenues from at-need funeral
services and pre-need funeral plan services are recognized upon
completion of the final funeral ceremony.  Revenues from at-need
funeral services include professional service revenues which are
included in FUNERAL SERVICES and sales of caskets, urns and other
items which are included in SALE OF URNS AND OTHER ITEMS.  Revenues
from pre-need services, which accounted for approximately 36.7%
and 33.5% of funeral service revenues in 2000 and 1999,
respectively, are accounted for in FUNERAL SERVICES since these
plans are sold inclusive of the merchandise selected.

Cost of sales and services includes all direct cost, including
merchandise, labor and other related cost and indirect cost such
as insurance, depreciation, supplies and indirect labor costs
related to the performance and completion of at-need and pre-need
funeral services.

Advertising - The Company follows the policy of charging the costs
of advertising to operations as incurred.

Income taxes - Income tax expense is based on reported earnings
before income taxes.  Deferred income taxes reflect the effects
of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized
for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for
tax purposes.  In accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES,
deferred income taxes are measured by applying currently enacted
tax laws.

Comprehensive income - In the year ended May 31, 1999, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, which requires that
unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities be
included in other comprehensive income.

Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

50% share in the underlying equity in the net assets, accounted
for under the equity method of accounting for investments in
common stock, of Garden Life Plan, Ltd., a Hawaii corporation
engaged in the sales of pre-need funeral plans which are serviced

is deposited with Hawaiian Trust Company, Limited (Trust) to be
held in trust.

The audit of the financial statements of GLP for the year ended

Hosoi's financial statements for 1999 has been restated.

The audit of the financial statements of GLP for the year ended

earnings of GLP is not reflected.

of its financial statements for the years ended May 31, 2000 and
1999.

Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the
basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and
income tax purposes.  The deferred assets and liabilities represent
the future tax consequences of those differences, which will be
either taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are
recovered or settled.

The deferred tax liability results from the recognition of
unrealized gains or losses on securities for financial
statements and the recognition of gains or losses when securities
are sold for income tax purposes, and the equity method of
accounting for the investment in subsidiary as explained under
GARDEN LIFE PLAN, LTD. above.  Under the equity method the
Company's share of earnings of the subsidiary is reported for tax
purposes only when distributions of earnings are received as
dividends.

The deferred tax asset results from the use of the reserve method
in accounting for uncollectible accounts receivable in the
financial statements and the use of the direct write off method
for income tax purpose, and the accrual of vacation and sick leave
when earned for the financial statements and the recognition
for income tax purposes when paid.

(8)  FUNERAL SERVICES DEPOSIT

Included in accounts payable is $33,351 of deposits made by ten
individuals that the Company had collected from since 1969 for
future services or purchase of merchandise.  The payable of
$33,351, including interest of $25,914 accrued to May 31, 2000,
approximate fair value.

In an agreement with the Professional and Vocational Licensing
Division of the State of Hawaii, Department of Commerce and
Consumer Affairs (DCCA), the Company consented to a plan to
either convert these funeral service deposits to a Garden Life
Plan, Ltd.'s (GLP) pre-need funeral plan identical to the
services and/or merchandise that the depositor originally
contracted for or refund the deposit plus accrued interest.  The
agreement with the DCCA provides that the  Company will provide
the funds for any difference between the cost of a comparable GLP
pre-need plan and the amount deposited with the Company.

As of May 31, 2000,  twenty-eight plans have been converted to
GLP pre-need plans or refunded to the original depositor.  The
difference between the cost of plans converted and the amount
of the available deposit is reflected as a charge to operations
 Ten plans remain to be converted.  No provision has been made
for the cost of conversion of the remaining ten plans because
of the uncertainty of whether the holders of the deposits will
elect to convert to a GLP pre-need plan or elect to receive a
refund.

(16) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's cash, cash equivalents, short and long term
investments are deposited with five local financial institutions.
For the years ended May 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had deposits
in a financial institution in excess of the deposit insurance
of $100,000 of $533,152 and $623,402, respectively.

The Company performs funeral services for deaths occurring
principally on the island of Oahu located in the State of Hawaii.
In the normal course of business the Company extends unsecured
credit to its customers.  The Company maintains reserves for
potential credit losses; historically, such losses have been
within management's expectations.


(17) PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS AND RESTATEMENT

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's 1998 financial
statements, the Company's 50% owned subsidiary, Garden Life
Plan, Ltd. (GLP), determined that its financial statements
required restatement as a result of misstatements of the
following:

Deferred income taxes - GLP's management determined that the
amount of deferred income taxes provided in fiscal 1996
related to the Trust's recording of its investment assets at
fair value (instead of cost) was inaccurate.  As a result GLP's

(17) PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS AND RESTATEMENT (continued)

retained earnings as of June 1, 1997 has been restated from the
amount previously reported to correct the deferred tax liability
as of that date.  The effect of GLP's restatement on the Company
was an increase in its investment in Garden Life Plan by $407,500,
an increase in its deferred income tax liability by $32,567, and an
increase in its retained earnings by $374,933.

Unrealized gains and losses of the Trust's available-for-sale
securities - GLP's management determined that unrealized gains
or losses on the Trust's available-for-sale securities should
have been reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity
and not as trust fund income on its Statement of Income.  As
a result, GLP's retained earnings as of June 1, 1997 has been
restated from the amount previously reported to correct the
unrealized gain on investments as of that date.  The effects of the
restatement on the Company's financial statements was a decrease in
its investment in GLP by $197,510, a decrease in deferred income
taxes by $15,785, and a decrease in retained earnings by $181,725.

The following summarizes the effects of the above restatements
on the Company's 1998 financial statements:

  Retained earnings                           5,919,146       5,961,335

For the year ended May 31:
  Equity in earnings of Garden Life
    Plan, Ltd., net of deferred taxes           759,190         608,171

</TABLE>

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's 1999 financial
statements, it was determined that the amount of income
taxes provided in the financial statements was understated.
As a result additional income taxes expense of $20,943 has been
charged to retained earnings in the current year.
