Subject : The Company changed its accounting policy for recording investments.
To : President of the Stock Exchange of Thailand
Dear Sirs,
During the current year, the Company changed its accounting policy for
recording investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and
associates 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 subsidiaries, jointly
controlled entities and associates had originally been recorded
using the cost method. The change has the effect of increasing net income
in the separate income statements for the year ended 31 December as following:
Separate financial statement
Increase (decrease)
2007 2006
Net income (Million Baht) 2 2
Basic earnings per share (Baht per share) - -
Diluted earnings per share (Baht per share) - -
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 subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates" in
the separate statements of changes in shareholders' equity.
Such change in accounting policy affects only the accounts related to
investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates in the
Company's separate financial statements, with no effect to the consolidated
financial statements.
Please kindly be informed.
Yours sincerely,
