BEHIND THE JEANS For more than 38 years, a dream of creating quality lifestyle products with the best fitting for Thai physiques has been woven. The first needlework on the indigo denim began in 1975, and led the fine thread to join every piece all together ever since. Every single stitching and every single thread is done with precision, determination, and consistency. Finally, there came the first pair of Thai jeans under the brand Mc. The earlier success ignited the later endless possibilities. Mc has gained the largest market share in jeans industry domestically and has became a leading lifestyle brand. It thus expanded its

portfolio of brands and product assortment to meet all customers demands: McLady, Mc Mini, Mc Pink and Bison and, in 2013, is expected to launch WoWme, an online store and to open Blue Brothers, a retail store carrying various well-known international denim brands. MC GROUP is ready to bring them to become regional brands and businesses in the near future. The story behind the jeans, branching out into lifestyle products to answer the needs of all ages, lies possibilities that we would like to share. Join us in this journey, journey to success.

Product Sourcing There are two main sources of products for sales and distributions which are 1) manufacturing factories of its own subsidiaries and 2) outsourced manufacturers. Under the current sourcing policy, all basic jeanswear are manufactured from its own subsidiaries while outsourced suppliers will be commissioned to produce other lines of products including t-shirts, polo shirts, women fashion wears, and accessories such as bags, shoes and belts as well as fashionable jeanswears with a lot details. In the case of overcapacity, the company will seek outsourced services both for the whole production or for a specific production process that current capacity cannot support such as bleaching and dying. The Company also put efforts in searching for other alternatives to best manage costs and promote production efficiency; for example, the possibility of production outsourcing in foreign countries with lower labor costs.

Inventory Management MC GROUP Plc has given priorities to supply chain management in every part of business from sourcing and merchandising, production, inventory management and distributions of finished products. The Company has adopted the state-of-the-art technology in supply chain management in order to increase production, improve production efficiency as well as shorten time to market for the products to reach the designated destinations. Under the inventory management policies, the Company is incessantly improving its Management Information System in order to achieve optimal inventory levels. The new MIS will best assist in collecting data from points of sales such as numbers of units of products by SKU and values of products manufactured including stock and inventory level in an accurate and fast manner. This information will be valuable for the Company to better understand customers’ needs and manage its demand planning more efficiently from product sourcing/ manufacturing to inventory management and logistics of the products to reach all points of sales. At present, the Company operates two warehouses of finished products. The Company planned to build a new warehouse and distribution center and centralize all distributions and inventory management to this center to increase efficiency in logistics and distribution and support the future sales growth.

indusTry Overview And COMPeTiTiOn 1. Retail Industry in Thailand Retail Industry in Thailand grew constantly for the past 3 years. From 2010-2012, Thailand retail sales index rose at an average rate of 11.1% due to rising demand of products and services under favorable economic growth, increased household income and continuing expansion of modern trade.

2. Overview of Garment Industry in Thailand Garment is Thailand’s large and important industry and represents a downstream side of the overall textile and garment industry. According to National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB), the market value of Thai garment industry stood at 303,009 million baht (by private consumption expenditure data) or made up of 2.9% of GDP or equivalent to 78.5% of overall textile and garment industry in Thailand in 2011. Garment industry also grew hand in hand with in GDP growth in 2011. Garment industry expanded at the annual rate of 5.2% while GDP experienced lesser growth rate at 4.3% per year. Textile industry enjoyed a continuous growth thanks to its high replacement and repurchase rate. Sensitivity to changes in styles, values and technology as well as the less-durable nature of clothing added up to this high replacement and repurchase rate.

Source: National Economic and Social Development Board National Economic and Social Development Board forecasted that growth rate of Thailand’s GDP in 2012 will be around 4.5-5.5% due mainly to rising foreign demand. Impending favorable economic conditions in the US, China and other Asian countries were expected to bolster the recovery of world economy and subsequently the demand from foreign countries.

Competition in Garment industry in Thailand Garment industry experiences fierce competition in recent years as a result of a supply-led marketing issue. Over 90% of supply in garment industry is OEM-based (Original Equipment Manufacturing) where local and foreign trademark and brand owners outsource production to external manufacturers before distributing locally or exporting to other countries. This nature discourages proactive marketing efforts resulting in low value added creation compared to OBM (Original Brand Manufacturing) which adds more value to the products. Therefore, market players in Thailand are focusing on cost control which hampers skill development, production technology and other value added activities. Moreover, the fact that local consumers tend to appreciate well-known foreign brands more than local quality products and brands contributes to a demand-led marketing issue negatively affecting the development of local brands. Local players had to face 2 competitive threats in different market segments. For middle-income market, competition arose from players from Hong Kong or Singapore who have competitive advantages from designs, quality and popularity. Meanwhile, in the low-income market, competitors from China and Vietnam have the edge from lower labor cost and being the sources of major raw materials such as cotton, silk and man-made fibers.

Competition and market entry from froeign clothing brands High and middle class foreign brands such as Zara, Uniqlo, GAP and H&M have gained prominence in Thailand for the past few years and this intensified the competition in garment industry further. Changing behaviors of Thai consumers to become more self-caring and fashionable together with technology that enables the consumers to be exposed to international fashion and brands led to the surge in apprciation and popularity for these foreing brands.

112


With same target groups and sales channels especially modern trade, Thai garment entrepreneurs were directly facing the competitive threats from foreign brands. Foreign competitors have leveraged their new and famous brands, design and production techonoloy, network of factories and lower cost of production to gain an increasing number of customers. Therefore, branding is deemed to be one of significant strategies in rivaling with these international competitors.

3. Overview of AEC Garment and Jeanswear Industry Regional economic integration of ASEAN countries or AEC (ASEAN Economic Community) will be fully implemented in 2015. The participating countries include Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia and Brunei. The AEC will transform ASEAN into a region with free movement of goods, services, investment, skilled labour, and freer flow of capital which will promote trade negotiation power, cooperation and competitiveness of the ASEAN countries. As a result, AEC is expected to further fuel economic growth for ASEAN economy. Under more open policies and lifted regulations mandated by the AEC, overall ASEAN market will become more relevant to businesses not just domestic market. Additionally, market and investment promotion policies and measures will raise consumer purchasing power and expand the ASEAN market further. In 2011, ASEAN countries had a total population of 607.7 million people and a total GDP of 2,112.5 billion US dollars with average growth rate of 7.6% per year (from 1999-2011) while Thailand had a population of 64.3 million people and GDP of 339 billion US dollars with average growth rate of 3.9% per year (from 1999-2011)

risK fACTOrs Risk factors that may signifincantly impact business operations, business performance, financial conditions and business opportunities inlucluding repective risk mitigation plans are summarized as follows:

1. Business Risks 1.1

risk of deviations from business plans

Business plan and growth stratetgies of the Company comprise product diversification, new brand development, channel network expansion, M&A, joint ventures and partnerships, production cost reduction and expansion of production to low-cost locations. The success of these strategies are key to the performance of the Company. The Company’s board and management team has emphasized the importance of these business planning and growth strategies as the main catalyst to achieve the Company’s goals. The Company has taken solid steps in executiting business plans and monintoring the progresses of each initiative and strategy. For example, in February 2013, the Company launched the new brand Mc Pink to offer product varieties to cover more target groups and also continuously expand the current coverage of distribution network nationwide and abroad simultaneously starting from ASEAN market. The Company has put in place direct responsible units and performance management system to monitor and track performances in all growth strategies in order to minimize the risk of deviations from business plans that may occur under fast changing market environments.

1.2

risk of overreliance on a small number of major customers (Buyer concentration risk)

Top ten customers of the Company, mainly big retailers in modern trade have provided a significant business over a long period under good relationships. However, the Company realized the fact that overreliance on these big retailers has put the Company at risks given the low negatitation power. Thus, the Company formulated risk mitigations policies aiming to maintain and develop strong ties with those relailers in one front and reduce reliance on them by focusing on owned free standing shop expansion on another front. Nevertheless, the risk of overreliance on major customers can be considered moderate due to the fact that the top ten customers only accounted for less than half of the total revenue.

1.3

risk of rental Contract renewal

The Company normally rent retaling spaces to build free standing shops for an average of 3 years. The risk arises when there is no guarantee of rental contract extension/renewal after expiration or in case the rental prices and other fees go up after 3 years. However, most lease agreements grant the Company rights to extend the contracts before other parties when expire and some are stated clearly on a specific clause regarding rental fee adjustments. Moreover, the Company has maintained good relationships with the landlords/property owners by strictly comforming to the rental as well as helping attract more customers to those department stores or other properties. As a result, the Company has no track record of contract cancellation or getting rejected from contract renewals and believes to continue keeping that good record in the future.

2. Industry Risk (related to Ready-to-Wear Retailing Business) 2.1

risks from intense competition in ready-to-wear retailing business

Major factors affecting the competition in ready to wear retailing business are new entries of both domestic and foreign players, new brand development, price competition, advertising and PR and expansion of channel network to reach customers. However, given the long and strong presence and experience in the business over the past 38 years, the Company has the edge in quality and cost controls thanks to owned production facilities and tight relationships with suppliers and OEM manufacturers. Plus, the Company also got a solid plan to seek new production bases in foreign countries with lower cost and expand its channel converage both through owned free standing shops and other alternative channels. The channel network expansion will surely grant advantages to the Company in order to compete with other players through easier access to products as well as enhanced brand awareness.

114


2.2

risks from changing consumers’ preferences in fashion products

Changing customer tastes, preferences, and lifestyles especially in fashion industry as well as seasonalities have a big impact on the sales of fashion items offered by the Company. The fast changing nature of fashion industry has left the Company vulnerable to risks that new products might not meet the customer needs and interests in a timely manner. The Company took this fact at heart and put efforts on capturing and analyzing customer trends and preferences though extensive surveys and close tracking and observation of fashion and trends both locally and internationally. Futhermore, a close collarboaration of sales and design teams at the Compny will add speeds to our product development to respond to customer needs with new desirable fashion products.

3. Risks related to Product Sourcing 3.1

risks from fluctuations in prices of raw materials

Cotton is the major component of jeans. Generally, market price of jeans has rather low volatility. However, world market price of cotton can also fluctuate and go up unexpectedly which may affect the prices of jeans which is the Company’s major raw material for production. Nevertheless, as the biggest user of jeans, the Company can exert a better negotiation power on raw material pricing with the suppliers. These jeans suppliers are also mostly well-managed and have a good track record of managing the prices of cotton in the past. Moreover, the Company operates its procurement process through an efficient system with proper procurement planning and vendor selection resulting partly in stable gross margins.

3.2

risks from overreliance on a few number of major suppliers (supplier concentration risk)

Top ten suppliers that the Company ordered raw materials and finished goods from made up about 61.3% of the total spending in 2012. In order to reduce the reliance on these major suppliers, the Company initiated and implemented procurement processes that include price comparison and formal bidding processes for volume purchase to enhance the cost advantage of the Company. Besides, the Company frequently updates the vendor lists and continuously seek new vendors and suppliers both locally and internationally while there is an abundance of suppliers of most of the raw materials and finished goods used by the Company.

3.3

risk from reliance on leasing factory and other assets from the majority shareholders

The fact that the Company leased factories and other assets from the majority shareholders to operate the business (details can be found in related party transactions part) gave rises to risks of reliance in business operations. However, leasing provides more flexibility and additional advanctages in moving production base in the future considering the options of expansion of production base through outsourced manufacturers and sourcing base from domestic market to AEC. Thus, this leasing business model allows the Company to gain from higher efficiency in inventory management, better liquidity and likely decreasing costs in case that the Company is able to find lower-cost manufacturers.

4. Legal Risks (related to Laws and other Trade Regulations) 4.1

risks from free trade agreement of AseAn economic Community (AeC)

The union of AEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015 will open borders and allow free flows of resources, funds, labour and trades in ASEAN countries. That will result in an intensified competition of products and services from other ASEAN countries to Thailand and in other ASEAN markets as well. With high product quality, affordable prices and fitted designs for asian customers, the Company is confident that our products have the advantages to compete with other foreign brands. Additionally, brand awareness building efforts, sales and distribution expansion to other ASEAN countries together with the in-depth studies the Company is conducting on possibility of moving production base to lower cost countries will further enable the Company to thrive through these competitive threats facing the Company from this free-trade agreement.

115


4.2

risks from minimum wage adjustment policy and lack of skilled labour

The recent government policy on adjusting the minimum wage to 300 baht per day made a significant impact on the labour cost of the Company given the fact that textile industry is labour-intensive where labor cost makes up for a big part of the total cost. MC GROUP plc recognized the impacts that the minimum wage policy may have to the business over the short and long run and already tackled the issue by introducing cost-advantage programs such as production efficiency enhancement and lean manufacturing initiative in order to improve efficiency and reduce waste in production. As a result, the labour cost was rising at lower pace than the rate of wage adjustments thanks to the gain in production efficiency.

Previously the group of companies operated as a manufacturer and distributor of ready-to-wear clothing and related products under P.K.Garment (Import-Export) Co., Ltd. However, with strong growth from policies focusing on expanding retail business and increasing ranges of products, excutives of the group of companies recognized the needs to undertake organization restructuring to fuel the growth and respond to new business direction and further expansion of the group of companies. The strategy is anchored on the expansion of distribution network both for domestic and international markets and enhancement of efficiency in managing costs and inventories. As a result, MC GROUP Public Company Limited was founded on 23 May 2012 to operate as a conglomerate managing sales and distribution, sourcing products, executing marketing activities and managing distribution center and investing in other companies. Therefore, MC GROUP Plc has prepared its Pro Forma consolidated financial statements as if the Company were to adopt the new structure since 1 January 2010 to reflect the business performance under new shareholding structure and to be comparable to the new structure in 2012.

Analysis of Business Performance based on Pro Forma Financial Statements of MC GROUP PLC Overall Past Performance From 2010-2012, the group of companies enjoyed continous surges in sales revenue and achieved a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.7%. Profitability also gained momentum as gross profit margin rose from 39.9% in 2010 to 47.5% and 55.9% in 2011 and 2012 respectively resulting from the nationwide expansion of sales channels and ability to manage and control costs. Moreover, net profit of the group of companies soared from 104.9 million bath in 2010 to 298.8 million baht in 2011 and to 599.3 in 2012 while net profit margin also grew from 8.0% in 2010 to 16.5% in 2011 and to 23.4% in 2012.

Performance Sales Revenue MC GROUP Plc saw a significant growth in sales revenue from 1,291.6 million baht in 2010 to 1,804.5 million baht in 2011 and to 2,555.6 million baht in 2012 or equivalent to growth rate of 39.7% and 41.6% in 2011 and 2012 respectively. The hike in sales revenue was derived mainly from the ability to manage sales channels. Number of point of sales increased from 405 in 2010 to 446 in 2011 and to 511 in 2012 or equivalent to growth rate of 10.1% in 2011 and 14.6% in 2012. All sales channels experienced a constant growth in revenue. In addition, strategy underlining extension of range of products to cover all types of clothing as well as constumer-centric policy on designs for each target group are key factors to the Company’s revenue growth.

Gross Profit Gross profit margin stood at 39.9%, 47.5% and 55.9% of total sales revenue in 2010, 2011 and 2012 respectively. Cost control success and rising utilization rate from economies of scale contributed to this surge in gross profit margin. Utilization rate constantly improved from 72.2% in 2010 to 83.3% and 95.7% in 2011 and 2012 respectively thanks to improvements in production efficiency namely the implementation of Lean System in 2012 and production loss reduction program that significantly brought down the production cost.

Selling Expenses Selling expenses from 2010 to 2012 were 222.4, 268.4 and 431.9 million baht consecutively and equivalent to 17.2%, 14.9% and 16.9% of total sales revenue. The majority of selling expenses is expenses related to PC sales which were shooting up due to the expansion of free standing shops. However, the ratios of selling expenses to sales revenue were smaller resulting from higher effectiveness of sales force. Rental and service fees which mainly comprise rental fees from free standing shops were increasing. Marketing policies in expanding sales channels are accounted for the increase in this expense.

147


Administrative Expenses Administrative expenses in 2010, 2011, and 2012 amounted to 144.1, 162.6 and 280.3 million baht respectively or about 11.2%, 9.0% and 11.0% of sales revenue respectively. The major expense was personnel which soared significantly from deployments of new teams to support the business expansion in the future. In addition, other important expenses were advertising and public relations, provisions for lost and obsolete inventories and professional fees. The surge in professional fees arose from the expenses related to the restructuring of the group of companies in 2012 which was a one-time expense.

Net Profit The Company saw net profit of 104.9, 298.8 and 599.3 million baht in 2010-2012 respectively and net profit margin of 8.0%, 16.5% and 23.4% consecutively. The increase in net profit was a result of high gross profit in 2011 and 2012 and a lower effective tax rate from 30.1% in 2011 to 15.2% in 2012. The effective tax rate diminished significantly from the fact that the net profit of one of the subsidiaries was exempted from income tax under investment promotions from BOI.

Financial Position Assets As of 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, the group of companies held a total asset of 940.4, 1,450.7 and 2,013.3 million baht respectively or equivalent to growth rates of 54.3% and 38.8% in 2011 and 2012. The increase in assets stemmed from the expansion of buinesss which is in line with a constant growth in sales revenue that added up trade accounts recievable and inventories. However, non-current assets did not experience any significant growth despite the significant rise in turnover. Possible explanation is that management team sourced the additional products from both external manufacturers and increased production capacity from efficiency improvements in its own existing factories. That represented most of the increase in non-current assets namely from machineries and equipments used in factories which stood at 23.5 million baht in 2010 and shot up to 81.8 million baht in 2012.

Trade Accounts Receivable The Company’s trade accounts receivable stood at 348.4 million baht at the end of 2010 and rose to 495.6 and 637.6 million baht at the end of 2011 and 2012 respectively. Average collection period was shortened from 97.1 days to 84.5 and 80.4 days from 2010 to 2011 and 2012 respectively which was in harmony with the Company’s policy on credit term that set the acceptable credit term of 30-120 days. The better collection period was a result of higher proportion of sales from free standing shop from 17.3% of total turnover in 2010 to 28.5% in 2012. Since products sold through free standing shops are paid directly in cash by consumers, the Company enjoyed shortened collection period for the past 3 years.

Inventories Another important financial figure is inventories especially for trading business. As of the end of acconting period of 2010 to 2012, the Compnay’s inventory amounted to 233.0, 541.2 and 779.4 million baht respectively or equivalent to 24.8%, 37.3% and 38.7% of total assets. The significant majority of the inventories was finished products which accounted for 83.5%, 64.8 % and 84.6% of total inventories in 2010, 2011 and 2012 repectively. High inventory level resulted from the attempt to better serve customers with sufficient product offerings at all points of sales in terms of types, colors and sizes for each collection. Apart from that, the increase number of points of sales from 405 in 2010 to 511 in 2012 also led to this surge in inventories. As of 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Company’s sales turnover ratio stood at 91, 104 and 162 days repectively which was in parallel with the increased safety stocking of products for sales in retail shops. The sales turnover ratio was at its highest at the end of 2012 as a result of all the mentioned factors.

148


Property, Plant and Equipment For accounting period ending in 2012, the Company had property, plant and equipment amounting to 231.9 million baht, increased by 78.7 million baht from 2011 and 103.8 million baht from 2010. This came from the facts that the Company succeeded in expanding its sales cahannels and consumers’ demand was still growing. The Company continuously expanded its production capacity from 2010 to 2012 resulting in purchases of machines and equipments used in factories. Consequently, proportion of machinery and equipment to total property, plant and equipment rose from 18.3% in 2010 to 33.1% in 2011 and to 35.3% in 2012. Furthermore, the Company invested in furnitures and fixures for its free standing shops around 7.9 million baht in 2010 and 17.1 and 26.3 million baht in 2011 and 2012 respectively. These investments were to support the expansion of its free standing shops from 53 shops in 2010 to 117 shops in 2012.

Liabilities As of 31 December 2012, the Company had total liabilities of 582.7 million baht and the amount increased to 894.2 and 1,207.6 million baht in 2011 and 2012 repectively. The majority of the liabilities was current liabilities used in day-to-day business operations which represented 95.0%, 96.7% and 71.7% of total liabilities in 2010, 2011 and 2012 respectively. Important liabilities consist of Bank’s overdrafts and short-term loans: most of this item was in the form of promisory notes for day-to-day business operations such as raw material procurement or production outsourcing. Trade accounts payable: the Company’s trade accounts payable totaled 192.2, 358.0 and 288.0 million baht in 2010, 2011 and 2012 respectively. The surge in 2011 was due to the expansion of business that required more product offerings. However, management noticed this cost of inventory issue and took steps in overhauling procurement system to synche with sales plan resulting in a decrease in trade accounts payable in 2012. As of 31 Decemeber 2012, the Company secured a long-term loan contract with a local financial institution with the amount of 300 million baht in order to support the organization restructuring and its rapid growth in 2012.

Shareholders’ Equity As appeared in pro forma financial statements as of 31 Decemeber 2012, shareholders’ equity of the Comapany stood at 805.7 million baht comparing to in 2011 of 556.6 million baht and in 2010 of 357.6 million baht. This represented an increase of 249.2 million baht in 2012 and 198.8 million baht in 2011 due mainly to growth of net profit of the previous years. As of 31 December 2012, the Company had paid-up capital of 300 million baht, legal reserve of 25.0 million baht and unappropriated retained earnings of 480.7 million baht. The Company paid out 100 million baht of dividends to common shareholders in 2011 and another 347 million baht in 2012.

Liquidy and Important Ratios Cash Flows The Company saw a constant rise in cash flows from operations before changes in assets and liabilities from 220.5 million baht in 2010 to 485.4 and 814.3 million baht in 2011 and 2012. This trend was in line with revenue growth and business expansion in the past 3 years and resulted in a jump in net cash from operating activities from 147.7 million baht in 2010 to 169.6 and 229.5 million baht in 2011 and 2012. Net cash used in investing activities from 2010-2012 totaled 55.4, 186.43 and 463.6 million baht respectively. Dividend payments, machine and equipment investments and furnitures and fixtures purchases under production and channel expansion contributed to this increase in net cash used in investing activities. In 2012, the Company had net cash used in financing activities of 268.3 million baht from its 300 million baht long-term loan secured to finance its expansion and organization restructuring initiative.

149


Liquidity Ratio For accounting periods ending on 2010 and 2011, liquidity ratio of the Company was quite stable at 1.4 times and 1.9 times respectively due to the fact that current assets to current liabilities ratio was moving in the same direction. However, liquidity ratio increased significantly from business growth which resulted in a spike in current assets in 2012 of 400.3 million baht from 2011. In addition, the Company succeeded in matching its procurement with sales plans which left the amount of current liabilities unchanged. The numbers reflected that the Company had sufficient working capital to operate its business.

Efficiency Ratio In 2010, 2011 and 2012, return on assets (ROA) of the Company stood at 11.2%, 25.0% and 34.6% respectively while total assets turnover was 1.4, 1.5 and 1.X times respectively. Rapid growth in business and subsequent increase in revenue and net profit were accounted for this increase in ROA and total assets turnover.

I have audited the accompanying consolidated and separate financial statements of Mc Group Ltd. and its subsidiaries, and of Mc Group Ltd., respectively, which comprise the consolidated and separate statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012, the consolidated and separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the period from 23 May 2012 (Inception date) to 31 December 2012, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated and separate financial statements in accordance with Thai Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated and separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility My responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated and separate financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with Thai Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and separate financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion. Opinion In my opinion, the consolidated and separate financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position as at 31 December 2012 and the financial performance and cash flows for the period from 23 May 2012 (Inception date) to 31 December 2012 of Mc Group Ltd. and its subsidiaries, and of Mc Group Ltd., respectively, in accordance with Thai Financial Reporting Standards.

These notes form an integral part of the financial statements. The financial statements issued for Thai statutory and regulatory reporting purposes are prepared in the Thai language. These English language financial statements have been prepared from the Thai language statutory financial statements, and were approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 28 February 2013.

Basis of preparation of the financial statements

(a)

Statement of compliance The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Thai Financial Reporting Standards (TFRS); guidelines promulgated by the Federation of Accounting Professions (“FAP”); applicable rules and regulations of the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission. At 31 December 2012, the FAP has issued a number of new and revised TFRS which are expected to be effective for financial statements beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and have not been adopted in the preparation of these financial statements. These new and revised TFRS are disclosed in note 37.

(b)

Basis of measurement The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. Unless otherwise stated.

(c)

Presentation currency The financial statements are prepared and presented in Thai Baht.

(d)

Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with TFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

161


Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes: Note 3 (r) Note 19

Current and deferred taxation Measurement of defined benefit obligations

Significant accounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.

(a)

Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements relate to the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group�). Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Losses applicable to non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance. Loss of control Upon the loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income or expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

(b)

Foreign currencies Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Thai Baht at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to Thai Baht at the foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at cost in foreign currencies are translated to Thai Baht using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.

162


(c)

Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, call deposits and highly liquid short-term investments. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand are a component of financing activities for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

(d)

Trade and other accounts receivable Trade and other accounts receivable are stated at their invoice value less allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is assessed primarily on analysis of payment histories and future expectations of customer payments. Bad debts are written off when incurred.

(e)

Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost principle and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs to complete and to make the sale. An allowance is made for all deteriorated, damaged, obsolete and slow-moving inventories.

(f)

Investments Investments in subsidiaries Investments in subsidiaries in the separate financial statements of the Company are accounted for using the cost method less any impairment losses. Disposal of investments If the Company disposes of part of its holding of a particular investment, the deemed cost of the part sold is determined using the weighted average method applied to the carrying value of the total holding of the investment.

(g)

Property, plant and equipment Recognition and measurement Owned assets Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located and capitalised borrowing costs. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognised net within other income or expense in profit or loss.

163


Subsequent costs The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Depreciation Depreciation is calculated based on the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. Depreciation is charged to the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Buildings and factory

20 and 5

years

Leasehold improvements

3

years

Machines and factory equipment

5

years

3 and 5

years

5

years

Fixtures and office equipment Motor vehicles

No depreciation is provided on land and assets under construction and installation. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate. (h)

Intangible assets Intangible assets that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Amortisation Amortisation is based on the cost of the asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, from the date that they are available for use, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Computer program

5 years

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate. (i)

Leasehold right Leasehold right is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the leased term.

164


(j)

Impairment The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated. For intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. Calculation of recoverable amount The recoverable amount of non-financial assets is the greater of the assets’ value in use and fair value less costs to sell. In assessing 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. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Reversals of impairment Impairment losses recognised in prior periods in respect of non-financial assets are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(k)

Interest-bearing liabilities Interest-bearing liabilities are recognised initially at cost.

(l)

Trade and other accounts payable Trade and other accounts payable are stated at cost.

(m) Employee benefits Defined contribution plans A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Defined benefit plans A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Any unrecognised past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on AA credit-rated bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid. The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method.

165


When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits vest immediately, the expense is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognises all actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit plans in other comprehensive income and all expenses related to defined benefit plans in profit or loss. Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or other benefits if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.

(o)

Revenue Revenue excludes value added taxes and is arrived at after deduction of trade and special discounts. Sale of goods and services rendered Revenue is recognised in profit or loss when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. No revenue is recognised if there is continuing management involvement with the goods or there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the probable return of goods. Service income is recognised as services are provided. Investments Revenue from investments comprises dividend and interest income from investments and bank deposits. Dividend income Dividend income is recognised in statement of income on the date the Group’s right to receive payments is established. Interest income Interest income is recognised in statement of income as it accrues.

(p)

Finance costs Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions and contingent consideration, impairment losses recognised on financial assets (other than trade receivables). Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

(q)

Lease payments Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

166


Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease At inception of an arrangement, the Group determines whether such an arrangement is or contains a lease. A specific asset is the subject of a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of that specified asset. An arrangement conveys the right to use the asset if the arrangement conveys to the Group the right to control the use of the underlying asset. At inception or upon reassessment of the arrangement, the Group separates payments and other consideration required by such an arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If the Group concludes for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, an asset and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset. Subsequently the liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance charge on the liability is recognised using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. (r)

Income tax Income tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Group takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The Group believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax law and prior experience. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Group to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

34 Financial instruments Financial risk management policies The Group is exposed to normal business risks from changes in market interest rates and currency exchange rates and from non-performance of contractual obligations by counterparties. The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Risk management is integral to the whole business of the Group. The Group has a system of controls in place to create an acceptable balance between the cost of risks occurring and the cost of managing the risks. The management continually monitors the Group’s risk management process to ensure that an appropriate balance between risk and control is achieved. Capital management The Board of Directors’ policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investors, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board monitors the return on capital, which the Group defines as result from operating activities divided by total shareholders’ equity, excluding non-controlling interests and also monitors the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that future movements in market interest rates will affect the results of the Group’s operations and its cash flows. The management believes that the Group has low interest rate risk because it has borrowing interest rate is the market rate. The effective interest rates of interest-bearing financial liabilities as at 31 December and the periods in which those liabilities mature or re-price were as follows:

Credit risk Credit risk is the potential financial loss resulting from the failure of a customer or counterparty to settle its financial and contractual obligations to the Group as and when they fall due. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. At the reporting date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the statement of financial position. However, due to the large number of parties comprising the Group’s customer base, Management does not anticipate material losses from its debt collection. Liquidity risk The Group monitors its liquidity risk and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

191


Determination of fair values A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. The fair value of trade and other short-term receivables is taken to approximate the carrying value. The carrying amounts of borrowings with variable interest rates approximate their fair values. The carrying amounts of other accounts with fixed interest rates are immaterial.

37 Thai Financial Reporting Standards (TFRS) not yet adopted The Group has not adopted the following new and revised TFRS which related with the group that have been issued as of the reporting date but are not yet effective. The new and revised TFRS are expected to become effective for annual financial periods beginning on or after 1 January in the year indicated in the following table. TFRS

192

TFRS 8

Operating Segments

2013


Management expects to adopt and apply these new TFRS in accordance with the FAP’s announcement and has made a preliminary assessment of the potential initial impact on the consolidated and separate financial statements of those new standards assessed to have the greatest potential impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application. These standards are as follows: TAS 21 (revised 2009) - The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates The principal change introduced by TAS 21 is the introduction of the concept of functional currency, which is defined as the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. TAS 21 requires the entity to determine its functional currency and translate foreign currency items into its functional currency, reporting the effects of such translation in accordance with the provisions of TAS 21. Foreign currencies are defined by TAS 21 as all currencies other than the entity’s functional currency. Management has determined that the functional currency of the Company is Thai Baht. Accordingly, the adoption of TAS 21 from 1 January 2013 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s reported assets, liabilities or retained earnings. TFRS 8 - Operating segments The principal change introduced by TFRS 8 is the introduction of the concept of presenting operating segments based on the information that internally is provided to the Group’s chief operating decision maker.

Significant accounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the pro forma consolidated financial statements.

212


(a)

Basis of consolidation The pro forma consolidated financial information relates to the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group�). Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the pro forma consolidated financial information from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Losses applicable to non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance. Loss of control Upon the loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income or expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the pro forma consolidated financial information.

(b)

Foreign currencies Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Thai Baht at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to Thai Baht at the foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at cost in foreign currencies are translated to Thai Baht using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.

(c)

Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, call deposits and highly liquid short-term investments. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand are a component of financing activities for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

(d)

Trade and other accounts receivable Trade and other accounts receivable are stated at their invoice value less allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is assessed primarily on analysis of payment histories and future expectations of customer payments. Bad debts are written off when incurred.

213


(e)

Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost principle and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs to complete and to make the sale. An allowance is made for all deteriorated, damaged, obsolete and slow-moving inventories.

(f)

Property, plant and equipment Recognition and measurement Owned assets Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located and capitalised borrowing costs. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognised net within other income in profit or loss. Subsequent costs The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Depreciation Depreciation is calculated based on the depreciable amount, which is the cost of building and equipment, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. Depreciation is charged to the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Buildings and factory

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate. (g)

Intangible assets Intangible assets that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Amortisation Amortisation is based on the cost of the asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, from the date that they are available for use, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Computer program

years

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate. (h)

Leasehold right Leasehold right is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the leased term.

(i)

Impairment The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated. For intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. Calculation of recoverable amount The recoverable amount of non-financial assets is the greater of the assets’ value in use and fair value less costs to sell. In assessing 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. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Reversals of impairment Impairment losses recognised in prior periods in respect of non-financial assets are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

Interest-bearing liabilities

Interest-bearing liabilities are recognised initially at cost. (k)

Trade and other accounts payable Trade and other accounts payable are stated at cost.

(l)

Employee benefits Defined contribution plans A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees. Defined benefit plans A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Any unrecognised past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on AA credit-rated bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid. The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits vest immediately, the expense is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognises all actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit plans in other comprehensive income and all expenses related to defined benefit plans in profit or loss. Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or other benefits if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(m) Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. (n)

Revenue Revenue excludes value added taxes and is arrived at after deduction of trade and special discounts.

216


Sale of goods and services rendered Revenue is recognised in profit or loss when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. No revenue is recognised if there is continuing management involvement with the goods or there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the probable return of goods. Service income is recognised as services are provided. Investments Revenue from investments comprises dividend and interest income from investments and bank deposits. Dividend income Dividend income is recognised in statement of comprehensive income on the date the Group’s right to receive payments is established. Interest income Interest income is recognised in statement of comprehensive income as it accrues. (o)

Finance costs Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions and contingent consideration, impairment losses recognised on financial assets (other than trade receivables). Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

(p)

Lease payments Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed. Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease At inception of an arrangement, the Group determines whether such an arrangement is or contains a lease. A specific asset is the subject of a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of that specified asset. An arrangement conveys the right to use the asset if the arrangement conveys to the Group the right to control the use of the underlying asset. At inception or upon reassessment of the arrangement, the Group separates payments and other consideration required by such an arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If the Group concludes for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, an asset and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset. Subsequently the liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance charge on the liability is recognised using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

(q)

Income tax Income tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

217


Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Group takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The Group believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax law and prior experience. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Group to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. (r)

Earnings per share The Group presents basic earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

The management continually monitors the Group’s risk management process to ensure that an appropriate balance between risk and control is achieved.

234

Credit risk Credit risk is the potential financial loss resulting from the failure of a customer or counterparty to settle its financial and contractual obligations to the Group as and when they fall due. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. At the reporting date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet.

235

Determination of fair values A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

38 Thai Financial Reporting Standards (TFRS) not yet adopted The Group has not adopted the following new and revised TFRS which related with the group that have been issued as of the reporting date but are not yet effective. The new and revised TFRS are expected to become effective for annual financial periods beginning on or after 1 January in the year indicated in the following table.

TFRS

Topic

Year effective

TAS 21 (revised 2009)

The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates

2013

TFRS 8

Operating Segments

2013

Management expects to adopt and apply these new TFRS in accordance with the FAP’s announcement and has made a preliminary assessment of the potential initial impact on the consolidated and separate financial statements of those new standards assessed to have the greatest potential impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application. These standards are as follows: TAS 21 - The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates The principal change introduced by TAS 21 is the introduction of the concept of functional currency, which is defined as the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. TAS 21 requires the entity to determine its functional currency and translate foreign currency items into its functional currency, reporting the effects of such translation in accordance with the provisions of TAS 21. Foreign currencies are defined by TAS 21 as all currencies other than the entity’s functional currency. Management has determined that the functional currency of the Company is Thai Baht. Accordingly, the adoption of TAS 21 from 1 January 2013 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s reported assets, liabilities or retained earnings. TFRS 8 - Operating segments The principal change introduced by TFRS 8 is the introduction of the concept of presenting operating segments based on the information that internally is provided to the Group’s chief operating decision maker. Since the change in accounting policy only impacts disclosure aspects, there is no impact on the Group’s financial statements.
