Message from the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the President Dear Shareholders,

Mr. Thana Chaiprasit Chairman of the Board

Subsequent to the outburst of the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the United States or the hamburger crisis which created a global economic downturn and the Dubai World没s financial crisis of which the impact on world economy is still indefinite, 2009 turned out to be the year that the governments of various countries realized the importance of the economic crisis. Series of measures were announced to seriously tackle the effects on an ongoing basis. The situation prompted many countries to undertake their own stimulus program starting in 2009, particularly a huge injection of government spending to push the economy towards higher employment and income which will in turn resulted in spending and money circulation in the system. Similarly, in Thailand the government has come up with different forms of economic stimulus plan, including Strong Thailand Project worth 1.56 trillion Baht. Among other initiatives, such program aims to help near-term economic recovery to return to normal or at least not worst off. The economic stimulus packages announced by various countries around the world including Thailand没s have had a positive impact on Thai Economy, particularly in the forth quarter of last year which also indicated an improving trend for 2010. Thai Economy should benefit from the stimulus plan if the government continues to carry out the proposed measures by expediting the budget disbursement for projects under Strong Thailand Policy to get results faster. Hence, Thai Economy is supposed to return to normal or close to normal in 2010. Nonetheless, private investment is still at high risk from the effect of world economic fluctuations on Thai Economy. Besides, no imminent end is in sight to the domestic political conflict, the causes of government instability.

Mr. Siripong Oontornpan President

Advanced Information Technology Public Company Limited

From the report of SIPA, it is expected that ICT industry will continue to grow with average rate of 7-8% but the some industry will see a significant growth rate because total change in technology especially communication technology which will be contradicted to current economic situation. For example, when oil price increased, the communication activities would increase in order to reduce transportation costs. The long distance broadcast via telepresence or date transmission through multimedia on the high speed internet has created innovation in distance learning, distance medication, entertainment (VDO Broadcast such as IP TV or VDO on Demand and etc.) These are stimulating factors for related industry growth of ICT industry which leads to the continued growth of the company. The company also sees the upcoming opportunity in Green Energy which helps reduce the pollution.


Risk Factors Risk relating to change of technology Due to the rapid change of the information and communication technology industry, the Company, therefore, must consistently follow industry news and technological advances to avoid any potential loss of business opportunities and competitiveness. Given the importance as mentioned above, the Company has encouraged her general employees, engineers, sales and marketing officers in particular, to regularly monitor, study or attend seminars to keep their skills and knowledge up to date. Apart from publicly available information, the Company also directly obtains the information regarding the change of technology from suppliers or trade partners. Risk relating to dependency on major customers The Company has revenues from sales and provided services of network system installation to TOT Corporation Plc. (TOT) and CAT Telecom Plc. (CAT), which combined accounted for approximately 35% of total revenues. The proportion of sales to these two customers is considered quite high as the core revenue of the Company. Nonetheless, these two organizations are categorized as the telecommunication customer group that the government supports given substantial and continual investment needed to develop the domestic network systems and especially the Internet. The governmentรปs current policy to expedite the government agencies in applying IT system in their working processes, including such projects as E-Government, E-Procurement, E-Service, E-Education and High Speed Internet will heavily depend on the availability and quality of the information and communication networks. However, the existing information and communication networks implemented by these two entities are not sufficient to facilitate the development of the aforementioned projects. Within a few years, these two organizations will definitely have to invest in substantial network expansions to support the governmentรปs projects. Thus, it is highly important for the Company to maintain strong relationships with both entities to be able to participate in their upcoming projects. The Companyรปs customer base can be classified into governmental agencies, state enterprises and private entities. It can also be classified according to the customerรปs type of business and customerรปs requirement as follows: Types of Business Telecom I Group : Mobile and Wireless Group Telecom II Group : Fixed Line and Network Group Enterprise Group : Government Agencies and Private Entities

Annual Report 2009

Examples of Customers CAT Telecom Plc. TOT Corporation Plc. Government Agencies, State Enterprise, Private Entities Etc.

Revenue Proportion in 2009 24.28% 14.38% 61.34%


In order to minimize the risk of being highly dependent on any customer, the Company has a policy, which subsequently turned into a business plan, to expand the customer base to private entities, educational institutions and other government agencies and state owned enterprises. As reflected in the Companyรปs revenue structure, the revenue from sales to private sector in 2009 has increased about 41.22% while the remaining was distributed to the other customer groups, including government agencies and educational institutions. The Company plans to put greater emphasis on the sales of its services to the existing key customers, both TOT and CAT, as well as SOHO (Small Office and Home Office) customer group. Moreover, the Company has utilized its valuable human resources to organize training projects for existing customers and soon for potential customers in order to enlarge the customer base. In terms of human resources, there is a plan to arrange and train so that they are ready for such task. Evidently, the Company has been striving to manage the risk relating to dependency on a few major customers and seeking opportunities to market new customer groups. It is likely that going forward revenues from expanded customer base will be comparable to those from major customers. The Company will maintain existing customer base to be as strong as it is.

Risk relating to dependency on any single supplier for more 30% Normally, the Company purchases its products from the manufacturers or their distributors with representative offices in Thailand. Besides, the Company is the distributor and strategic partner of Cisco Systems, one of the worldรปs largest and most well known manufacturers of information and communication technology network and internet system with high quality and durability. In 2009, the Companyรปs purchase of network equipments from Cisco Systems accounted for about 30% of total operating revenues.

33

Advanced Information Technology Public Company Limited

Risk relating to dependency on key employees The information and communication technology industry in general highly depends on qualified human resources in term of marketing and operation. These valuable human resources utilize their expertise in system design and installation as well as provide proper recommendation for each customer. At present, the Companyรปs Operating Division composes of 246 employees, which are divided into Marketing Department, Sales Department, Customer Service Department, and Software Program Development. Most employees in this division are engineers with about 3-6 years work experiences. In the previous year, employeesรป turnover rate was at approximately 3.00%, which is considered low. Therefore, to minimize such risk, the Company has provided a reasonable compensation package to the employees while at the same time created a good working environment. The Company has also put in place an internal control system to prevent the risk of losing any single employee that may affect its business operations. In terms of the operational management, it can be divided into 3 main functions with Deputy Managing Director supervising each function. Within each function, there are various departments supervising by Vice President of each department. Within each department, there are various teams split by type of products or services. The Managing Director will manage the overall operations to ensure efficiency of the Company. Hence, to have management flexibility, internal meeting among the executives shall be held weekly to acknowledge the problems and determine immediate action plan.


The reason behind such large amount of purchase each year from Cisco Systems was because Cisco Systems没 products are widely accepted by customers in both local and international markets. Given our long-term business partners relationship, the Company is ranked 莽Gold Partner茅 level of Cisco Systems, which is the highest level of Cisco Systems没 ranking of business partners in Thailand. Thus, the Company receives better supports from Cisco Systems than other lower ranked business partners do. Nonetheless, in order to mitigate the risk of over-dependence on any single supplier, the Company also becomes the distributor of other well-known manufacturers, which are as equally as high quality and reputable as Cisco Systems, such as Nortel Networks, 3COM, Alcatel-Lucent and etc. In addition, the Company has determined various measures to diversify the risk by either trying to seek new source of income generation or enlarging the revenue base. Risk relating to project delivery Complex IT projects, like installing information and communication networks and systems, normally take between 6-12 months depending upon the size of the project. If the Company fails to deliver a project on time as stated in the contract, the Company may be fined at 0.02% of the total project value per day (on average). In the last 5 years, the Company was fined less than 1% of the sales revenue, which is considered very low. The main reasons for project delays are deferred deliveries of the equipment from the manufacturers site, followed by equipment / scope changes in the course of the project. In order to mitigate such risk, the Company has established a project management office(PMO).

The financial statements in Thai language are the official statutory financial statements of the Company. The financial statements in English language have been translated from the Thai language financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except where otherwise disclosed in the accounting policies.


b) c) d) e)

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated as from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent significant accounting policies. Material balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiary companies have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. Minority interests represent the portion of net income or loss and net assets of the subsidiaries that are not held by the Company and are presented separately in the consolidated income statement and within equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

2.3 The separate financial statements, which present investments in subsidiaries presented under the cost method, have been prepared solely for the benefit of the public.

3. Adoption of new accounting standards In June 2009, the Federation of Accounting Professions issued Notification No. 12/2009, assigning new numbers to Thai Accounting Standards that match the corresponding International Accounting Standards. The numbers of Thai Accounting Standards as referred to in these financial statements reflect such change. The Federation of Accounting Professions has issued Notification No. 86/2008 and No. 16/2009, mandating the use of new accounting standards, financial reporting standard and accounting treatment guidance as follows. 3.1 Accounting standards, financial reporting standard and accounting treatment guidance which are effective for the current year Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (revised 2007) TAS 36 (revised 2007) Impairment of Assets TFRS 5 (revised 2007) Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Accounting Treatment Guidance for Leasehold Right Accounting Treatment Guidance for Business Combination under Common Control These accounting standards, financial reporting standard and accounting treatment guidance became effective for the financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The management has assessed the effect of these standards and believes that TFRS 5 (revised 2007), Accounting Treatment Guidance for Leasehold Right and Accounting Treatment Guidance for Business Combination under Common Control are not relevant to the business of the Company, while Framework for Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (revised 2007) and TAS 36 (revised 2007) do not have any significant impact on the financial statements for the current year.

However, TAS 24 (revised 2007) and TAS 40 allow early adoption by the entity before the effective date. The management of the Company has assessed the effect of these standards and believed that TAS 20 and TAS 40 are not relevant to the business of the Company, while TAS 24 (revised 2007) will not have any significant impact on the financial statements for the year in which it is initially applied.

4. Significant accounting policies

67

Advanced Information Technology Public Company Limited

4.1 Revenues and expenses recognition a) Revenues Sales and service income Revenues from the sale, design, service and installation of lump sum turnkey of information and communication technology network systems are recognised on the basis of percentage of completion, as assessed by the Companyûs engineers/the project managers.

Interest income Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis based on the effective interest rate. b) Expenses Costs of contract sales, design, service and installation of lump sum turnkey of information and communication technology network systems are recognised in accordance with the percentage of work completed for which revenue has already been recognised, based on total estimated costs. Provision for anticipated losses on projects is made in the accounts in full when the possibility of loss is ascertained. Differences between the estimated costs and the actual costs are recognised as çwork in progressé under current assets or çunbilled payableé under current liabilities. Other expenses are recognised on an accrual basis.


4.2 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand, cash at banks, and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 3 months or less and not subject to withdrawal restrictions. 4.3 Trade accounts receivable Trade accounts receivable are stated at the net realisable value.

4.8 Related party transactions Related parties comprise enterprises and individuals that control, or are controlled by, the Company, whether directly or indirectly, or which are under common control with the Company. They also include associated companies and individuals which directly or indirectly own a voting interest in the Company that gives them significant influence over the Company, key management personnel, directors and officers with authority in the planning and direction of the Company没s operations. 4.9 Long-term leases Leases of equipment which transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The outstanding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other long-term payables, while the interest element is charged to the income statements over the lease period. The equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated in the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease period. 4.10 Foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Baht at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Baht at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses on exchange are included in determining income.

4.12 Employee benefits Salaries, wages, bonuses and contributions to the social security fund and provident fund are recognised as expenses when incurred. The Company issued warrants to purchase the ordinary shares to directors and/or employees of the Company.

Advanced Information Technology Public Company Limited

4.11 Impairment of assets At each reporting date, the Company performs impairment reviews in respect of the building improvement, equipment, equipment for lease and intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised when the recoverable amount of an asset, which is the higher of the asset没s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, is less than the carrying amount. In determining value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by a valuation model that, based on information available, reflects the amount that the Company could obtain from the disposal of the asset in an arm没s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, after deducting the costs of disposal. An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.


4.13 Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 4.14 Income tax Income tax is provided in the accounts based on the taxable profits determined in accordance with tax legislation. 4.15 Derivatives Forward exchange contracts Receivables and payables arising from forward exchange contracts are translated into Baht at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses from the translation are included in determining income.

5. Significant accounting judgements and estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles at time requires management to make subjective judgments and estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments and estimates affect reported amounts and disclosures and actual results could differ. Significant judgments and estimates are as follows: Estimation of revenues and costs of contract sales, design, service and installation of lump sum turnkey of information and communication technology network systems In recognising revenues and costs of contract sales, design, service and installation of lump sum turnkey of information and communication technology network systems, management are required to make judgement based on their best knowledge of the current events and arrangements and their experience of the business to estimate the percentage of completion and total cost of each contracts, based on information from the engineers/project managers. These estimates are revisited on a periodical basis or when the actual costs incurred significantly vary from the estimation. Leases In determining whether a lease is to be classified as an operating lease or finance lease, the management is required to use judgment regarding whether significant risks and rewards of ownership of the leased asset has been transferred, taking into consideration terms and conditions of the arrangement. Allowance for doubtful accounts In determining an allowance for doubtful accounts, the management needs to make judgment and estimates based upon, among other things, past collection history, aging profile of outstanding debts and the prevailing economic condition.

70

Annual Report 2009


Building improvement, equipment and equipment for lease and depreciation In determing depreciation of building improvement, equipment and equipment for lease, the management is required to make estimates of the useful lives and salvage values of the Company没s building improvement, equipment and equipment for lease and to review estimate useful lives and salvage values when there are any changes. In addition, the management is required to review building improvement, equipment and equipment for lease for impairment on a periodical basis and record impairment losses in the period when it is determined that their recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount. This requires judgments regarding forecast of future revenues and expenses relating to the assets subject to the review. Intangible assets The initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets, and subsequent impairment testing, require management to make estimates of cash flows to be generated by the asset or the cash generating units and to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares which would need to be issued to convert all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. The calculation assumes that the conversion took place either at the beginning of the year or on the date the potential ordinary shares were issued. Calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share is presented below:

The financial risks associated with these financial instruments and how they are managed is described below. 82

Annual Report 2009


Credit risk The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily with respect to trade accounts and notes receivable. However, due to a prudent credit policy and most customers are government agencies, companies in which the government is a major shareholder, the company does not expect to incur material financial losses. The maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amounts of accounts and note receivable as stated in the balance sheets. Interest rate risk The Company没s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to its cash at banks, short-term loans and trust receipt. However, since most of the Company没s financial assets and liabilities bear floating interest rates or fixed interest rates which are close to the market rate, the interest rate risk is expected to be minimal. Significant financial assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2009 classified by type of interest rates are summarised in the table below, with those financial assets and liabilities that carry fixed interest rates further classified based on the maturity date, or the repricing date if this occurs before the maturity date.

Foreign currency risk The Company exposures to foreign currency risk arises mainly from purchasing inventories that are denominated in foreign currencies. The Company seeks to reduce this risk by entering into forward exchange contracts when it considers appropriate. Generally, the forward contracts mature within one year. As at 31 December 2009, the Company had outstanding balance of trade accounts payable denominated in foreign currency of USD 10.6 million and had certain forward exchange contracts which had been made to cover the purchase of inventories totaling USD 9.7 million, at exchange rates ranging between Baht 33.22 to Baht 34.80 per USD. 24.2 Fair values of financial instruments Since the majority of the Company没s financial assets and liabilities are short-term in nature and loans bear floating interest rates, their fair value is not expected to be materially different from the amounts presented in the balance sheets. A fair value is the amount for which an asset can be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm没s length transaction. The fair value is determined by reference to the market price of the financial instrument or by using an appropriate valuation technique, depending on the nature of the instrument.

3. Managementûs Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Status and Operating Performance 3.1 Overview of the Past Performance

`

90

During 2007-2009, the impact of global financial crisis on Thai Economy was substantial whereas on the Company was relatively insignificant given the fact that majority of its revenues are from state-owned enterprises and governments. As a result of the stimulus measures adopted by various government entities, the Companyûs revenues were still able to generate an ongoing revenues even times of economic crisis. Since there are minimal differences in the consolidated financial statements and the Companyûs financial statements after combining the operating results of its two subsidiaries, the analysis of the financial statements and operating performance will be conducted on the Separated financial statements only. In 2009, the Company had total revenues of 3,876.5 million Baht, increasing 551.6 million Baht or 16.6% from 2008 owning to its successful bidding results with larger projects size and higher number of awarded projects. In 2008, the Company reported 3,324.9 million Baht of total revenues, increasing 1,678.3 million Baht or 101.9% from 2007 primarily due to an increase in investment undertaken by both government and state enterprises thereby enabling it to win more large-scale projects. The cost structure and gross profit margin of project sales and services in 2009 was 23.2%, a slight increase of 2.7% from 2008. 2008ûs gross profit margin of project sales and services was 22.6%, a decrease of 5.4% from 2007 as there were a number of mega projects having hardware as their main component, which carried low gross profit margin. The adjustment of project cost upwards also contributed to a lower gross profit margin in 2008, even lower than that of 2007 as there were several maintenance projects in 2007. The gross profit margin of equipment rental services in 2009 was 17.9%, a surge up from negative gross profit margin in 2008 due to a much lower than expected rental fee on the renewal contracts. Moreover, there were depreciations of equipments for rent as well as maintenance costs, which, unlike the reduction of rental fee, had increased in tandem with the operating conditions of aging equipments. As a result, the Company posted a gross loss from its equipment rental business in 2008. In terms of gross profit margins, 2009ûs and 2007ûs were higher 2008ûs. In 2009, the Company booked 432.5 million Baht of selling and administrative expenses, an increase of 22.5% or 79.3 million Baht from that of 2008 given higher expenses incurred for employees and clients, including sales commission and entertainment. In 2008, the Company incurred 353.2 million Baht of selling and administrative expenses, an increase of 54.3% or 124.3 million Baht from that of 2007 for the same reasons given for such increase in 2009 i.e. employees and entertainment expenses. The Companyûs net profit margin had increased to 8.0% in 2009 compared to 6.6% in 2008 as it booked more revenues from more projects including tax structure, which has more deductible items for add-back items resulting from a temporary difference between accounting and tax. Moreover, given a lower reserve amount that was set aside for loss from the impairment of assets, net profit margin for 2009 was higher compared to 2008. The Companyûs 2008 net profit margin was 6.6%, an increase of about 13.8% from 2007 given less revenues from projects in 2007 compared to 2008.

Annual Report 2009


Past Performance in each Business 1.

Revenues from Sales and Services Business Major source of the Company没s revenues is from sales and service business, which accounted for 99.1%, 95.9% and 84.8% of total revenues in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. By nature, such revenues come from sale and installation of computer and telecommunication equipments, including repair and maintenance services. Throughout the period from 2007 to 2009, revenues from sales and services has constantly increased given the growth in the telecommunication technology, particularly with respect to network providers. As for 2009, the Company reported 3,843 million Baht of revenues, an increase of 653 million Baht or 20.5% compared to 3,190 million Baht in 2008, as there were more projects worth more than 100 million Baht in 2009 than in 2008 and 2007. Mega projects in 2009 included Broadband IP, IP Core 970, Remote Fiber Test System (RFTS), Cisco 192, IP Network Adjustment and etc. Most projects were from key customers namely TOT Plc., CAT Telecom Plc. and large corporates. In 2008, the Company没s revenues increased from 1,396 million Baht to 3,190 million Baht in 2008, an increase of 1,794 million Baht or 128.5% due to its ability to win the bids for large-size projects form both non-core and core customers such as Backup ICC, Gin Phase 2, TOT-GIS 2007, Inter Connection 2008 of TOT Plc., New Core Router of CAT Telecom Plc. and etc.

Advanced Information Technology Public Company Limited

Trade account receivables in 2009 (inclusive of unbilled receivables) had increased from 2008 for the amount of 224.8 million Baht due to an increase in both revenues and trade account receivables. However, trade account receivables in 2008 had increased from 2007 for the amount of 371.4 million Baht due to the same reasons as in mentioned for 2009. Inventory in 2009 was 468.7 million Baht, a decrease of 13.2 million Baht compared to 2008. Such decrease was partly due to the reserve for the impairment of 20.8 million Baht inventory for non-progress projects, in which the Company expected to receive less than the amount invested. Inventory in 2008 was 481.9 million Baht, an increase of 58.6 million Baht compared to 2007 as the Company won more projects in 2008 than 2007 thus causing higher work in progress. The value of net equipments for rent has gradually decreased since 2007 to present due to the depreciation of the installed and ready-to-use outsourcing equipments. Besides, the decrease in the value of net equipments for rent in 2009, 2008 and 2007 was resulted from the reserve for loss from the impairment of assets, which was set aside for the amount of 7 million Baht, 49.4 million Baht and 40.0 million Baht, respectively. In 2009, there was no addition investment on equipment for rent. In 2009, the Company no longer reported the outstanding amount of overdraft and short-term loan from financial institution as it received payments from large trade receivables. Other current liabilities included trade account payables, accrued cost payables, corporate income tax, advanced payment from customers, accrued expenses and other items. The increase in other current liabilities was due to various reasons e.g. extension of credit term granted by major creditor, delivery of projects during year-end causing higher accrued expenses, as a result of higher profit which was in line with an increase in revenues causing higher tax payment, winning the bid for a mega project during year-end resulting in higher advanced payment and given good performance of large projects resulting in an unpaid commission that had to be recorded as accrued expenses.

Revenues from Equipments for Rent Business Revenue from equipment rental business, which was considered as the Company没s secondary source of revenue, accounted for 0.7%, 3.4% and 14.7% of total revenues in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. However, this part of revenue has continued to decrease since 2007, details as shown in the Table Showing Summary of Financial Statements in the Income Statement Section on Page 84. Main reason for such decrease was due to the fact that a number of contracts were already expired whereas the remaining projects have low contract value.

3.

Other Revenues Other revenues mainly consisted of the followings: 1) Interest received from collateral fixed deposits for various successfully bid projects. The interest income for 2009, 2008, and 2007 was 1.2, 2.4 and 4.9 million Baht, respectively. Such decrease was primarily due to the decrease of interest rate and the amount of collateral fixed deposits outstanding. 2) Other revenue mainly is the revenue from sales promotions given by the distributors both locally and abroad. The increase or decrease in this part of revenue varies according to purchase volume and conditions of the distributors in each sales promotion.

4.

Costs of Sales and Services and Costs of Equipments for Rent The Company没s costs can be classified into cost of sales and services and cost of equipments for rent. Costs of sales and services arise from computer hardware, telecommunication and communication technology network system and repair and maintenance of equipment service. The cost of equipments for rent arises from outsourcing of computers. Costs and Gross Profit Margin of Sales and Services Business Costs of sales and services are considered as a major part of the total costs, which accounted for 76.2%, 74.2% and 64.6% of total revenues in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Costs of sales and

92

Annual Report 2009


services varied according to sale volumes generated in each year. As for 2009, 2008 and 2007, costs of sales and services equaled to 2,953.1, 2,468.0 and 1,063.4 million Baht, respectively. Gross profit margin of sales and services business was reported at 23.2%, 22.6% and 23.9% for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. 2009没s gross profit margin increased 2.7% compared to 2008 whereas 2008没s gross profit margin decreased 5.4% compared to 2007 as most of the large-scale projects in 2008 had incurred higher costs from hardware equipments. in which gross profit margin from sales is lower than that of services. As for 2007, the Company was able to realize revenue from higher numbers of repair and maintenance projects. Table Showing Costs, Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin of Sales and Services Business

Costs and Gross Profit Margin of Equipments for Rent Business The costs of equipments for rent accounted for 0.6%, 3.9% and 9.1% of total revenues in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The costs of equipments for rent, which normally comprise of the depreciation, repair and maintenance, were recorded at 22.8, 128.0, and 149.8 million Baht in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As evidenced, the costs associated with the outsourcing equipments have continued to decrease in line with the reduction in rental income - for 2009 there was a decrease of 105.2 million Baht compared to 2008 and for 2008 there was a decrease of 21.8 million Baht compared to 2007. Such decrease was resulting from the same reason of not recording the depreciation expenses for most of the equipments for rent since loss from the impairment of assets was instead recorded in the financial statements in each year and the fact that the depreciation expenses that continue to decrease according to the remaining usage life of the equipments, most of which were already matured, and the maintenance costs that decrease according to the remaining numbers of outsourcing equipments. Gross profit margin of equipments for rent business was reported at 17.9%, (15.4)% and 38.0% for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Evidently, it improved in 2009 compared to 2008, which yielded a negative margin due to a much lower than expected rental income on the renewal contracts meanwhile the depreciation, repair and maintenance expenses were increasing in conjunction with the condition of the equipments, particularly the ones with long usage life, thereby causing loss profit margin of equipments for rent business in 2008.

Selling and Administrative Expenses Selling and administrative expenses will vary in accordance with the revenue. Considering the amount of such expenses i.e. 432.5, 353.2 and 228.9 million Baht in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, it was evident that there was an increase from 2009 of 79.3 million Baht or 22.5% compared to 2008. This was primarily resulting from an increase in employeeûs related expenses such as salary, variable performance bonus, sales commission, entertainment, coordination and selling expenses. In 2008, selling and administrative expenses increased 124.3 million Baht or 54.3% from those of 2007 for the same reasons as regards to an increase in employeeûs related expenses that increase in accordance with the increase in sales volume. Besides, in 2008, the Company had set aside additional reserve for doubtful accounts thereby causing higher selling and administrative expenses. Net Profit and Net Profit Margin The Company generated 311.0, 217.9 and 94.8 million Baht of net profit and 8.0%, 6.6% and 5.8% of net profit margin in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In 2009, net profit margin for the year excluding loss from the impairment of assets was at 8.7%, increasing 8.8% from that of 2008 which was at 8.0% given higher sales volume and slight increase in gross profit margin.

Such increase was primarily due to an increase during year-end in cash and cash equivalent from large account receivable payment and trade account receivables given an increase in sales volume. Nonetheless, some current assets had decreased such as unbilled receivables and inventory, which also decreased due to a loss from the impairment of projects. Furthermore, non-current assets had decreased as well, particularly equipments for rent as a result of the depreciation and loss from the impairment of assets including loss from the liquidation of its subsidiaries.

Liquidity Ratio In 2009, the Company没s liquidity ratio had increased from 1.89 times in 2008 to 2.00 times given longer credit terms from large account payables. As a result, the days payable outstanding had increased from 33 days in 2008 to 42 days in 2009 accompanied by the improved inventory cycle from 63 days in 2008 to 57 days in 2009. Although the account receivable turnover had lengthen the days sale outstanding from 77 days in 2008 to 93 days in 2009, the liquidity ratio in 2009 was still able to increase from that of 2008. In 2008, the liquidity ratio had decreased from 2.12 times in 2007 to 1.89 times. This was due to the fact that in 2008 the Company had incurred short-term loans and trust receipt payable to finance year-end projects on top of the overdue account receivables. Even though the account receivable turnover had shortened the days sale outstanding from 134 days in 2007 to 77 days in 2008 and the cash cycle had reduced from 172 days in 2007 to 106 days in 2008, the days payable outstanding had decreased from 74 days in 2007 to 33 days in 2008. 7.
