Subject : The Company changed its accounting policy for recording investments.
To : President of the Stock Exchange of Thailand
Dear Sirs,
During the first quarter of the current year, the Company changed its
accounting policy for recording investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures
and associated companies in the separate financial statements from the equity
method to the cost method, in compliance with Accounting Standard No. 44
(Revised 2007) regarding "Consolidated Financial Statements and Separate
Financial Statements", under which investments in subsidiaries, jointly
controlled entities and associates are to be presented in the separate
financial statements under the cost method. In this regard, the Company has
restated the previous period's separate financial statements as though the
investments in the subsidiary, joint ventures and associated companies had
originally been recorded using the cost method. The change has the effect to
net income and earnings per share in the separate income statements for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended 30 September as following.

The cumulative effect of the change in accounting policy has been presented
under the heading of "Cumulative effect of the change in accounting policy for
investments in subsidiary, joint ventures and associated companies" in the
separate statements of changes in shareholders' equity. Such change in
accounting policy affects only the accounts related to investments in
subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associated companies in the Company's
separate financial statements, with no effect to the consolidated financial
statements.
Please kindly be informed.
Yours sincerely,
