MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN

MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN

Despite those challenges, Pranda Jewelry Public Company Limited has still successfully managed to grow both in revenues and profits as planned, notably thanks to the fact that the company has pursued its business on the principles of the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy of His Majesty the King for over 30 consecutive years. Because of such practices, the company has been chosen as one of the four enterprises which run their business on the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy by the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB), the state think-tank agency.

To all shareholders The oil prices remained relatively high and unstable in 2006, prompting inflation to rise accordingly, inevitably leading a hike of the interest rates. The lingering threat of the oil prices has exacerbated the world's weak economy. On top of that, the international trade liberalization has opened doors to unpredictable price competition. In the previous year, the political instability coupled with an ongoing swing of the baht against US dollar and its relentless appreciation, together with a surge of gold and silver prices has put the whole gems and jewelry industry into difficulty, leading Thailand's gem and jewelry exports to be substantially lower than the export target.

ANNUAL REPORT 2006 PRANDA JEWELRY

The company's business philosophy is mainly based on three components "Moderation in Growth", "Rationality in Doing Business," and "Good Immunization to Business" closely run on business expertise and ethics as follows:1. "Moderation in Growth" as indicated by the company's expansion of its distribution and production base based mainly on the company's cash flow. 2. "Rationality in Doing Business" as evidenced by focus on the middle-class target customers in all key regions of the world and diversification of production bases in four countries to maintain competitive edge of the company's products at all price ranges. 3. "Immunization to Regional Business changes" shown by the company's sales diversification into different regions of the world from North America, Europe, and Asia and development of the company's own brands. For 2006, the company had generated sales of 4,076 million baht, representing a 16.75% growth, with gross profit of 1,358 million baht or about 33.31% of total sales. The company had still successfully maintained strong gross margin in the vicinity of previous years despite a significant increase in the cost of raw materials.

The company had operating profit of 510 million baht, a rise of 121 million baht or 31.11% thanks to the company's successful sales expense control and efficient management. Net profit was 432 million baht, representing a 21.22% rise. The company as well remains solid in its capital structure as is reflected by the company's liabilities of 1,298 million baht, with total shareholder's equity of 2,806 million baht or Debt-to-Equity ratio of as low as 0.46 times and Times-Interest-Earned of 9.27 times. In 2007, the company remains committed to pursuing the moderate growth strategy through balanced admini stration structures as follow:Product Design and Development capitalizing on the company's world-class product design and development center in developing products for leading brands both of the company and the clients. Production Bases through five factories in four countries including Thailand, Vietnam, China and Indonesia to produce products that meet varying requirements of customers at all price ranges. Distribution Bases capitalizing on domestic distribution companies to expand existing markets and tap into emerging markets in key regions of the world including North America, Europe, and Asia focusing primarily on the leading brands of the key customers. Own Brand Development using our domestic distribution companies and the distribution licensing system to expand markets and open new markets in the Asian region focusing mainly on the company's leading own brands Prima Gold, Prima Diamond, Prima Art, Century Gold, and Esse.

Thanks to the presence of our own product design and development center and continual development of the company's own brands, the "Siam Pannarai" Collection of gold accessories by Prima Gold has won the Hot Design Award at the 37th Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair. More importantly, having realized that care for the "neighborhood society" also plays a critical role to the company's business achievement, the Company has never stopped developing opportunities for social contribution as well as environmental conservation and continues its commitment to the principals indicated in our agreement to the United Nations Global Compact which features human rights, employment standards, and environmental impact which the company has signed up to many years ago. Last but not least, on behalf of the company, we would like to thank all shareholders, employees at all levels, and related parties who have given thorough trust and support both directly and indirectly to the company. The company's Board of Directors promises to abide by the principle of the Sufficiency Economy of His Majesty the King and Good Corporate Governance as the norms in running our business to create economic added values to all related parties. Above all, we hope to see unwavering support from all of you as usual.

NATURE OF BUSINESS Financial Structure The company has issued and paid-up capital worth 358.41 million baht and retained earnings worth 1,412 million baht, with shareholders' equity totaling 2,806 million baht. The company's current liabilities were worth 850 and non-current liabilities worth of 447 baht. In total, the company had total liabilities of 1,298 million baht. Based on the company's total liabilities and shareholder's equity, the company's debt-to-equity ratio was equivalent to 0.46 times. And based on the company's long-term liabilities and shareholders' equity, the company was found to report long-term loans to equity equivalent to only 0.16 times, and Times Interest Earned equivalent to 9.34 times.

Industry Outlook and Future Competition Thanks to bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs), now in place with several countries, resulting in for instance a deep cut of import tariffs on gems and jewelry between Thailand and India to zero percent since September 2006, trade competition is inevitably intensifying. The international jewelry market's competition could be categorized into two classes-pricing competition particularly from Chinese and Indian exporters, and design and marketing competition with major competitors mainly from Italy, the United States and Hong Kong. As a result of the cut-throat competition, the growth of Thailand's gems and jewelry exports has failed to live up to expectation in a significant degree.

ANNUAL REPORT 2006 PRANDA JEWELRY

SHAREHOLDER AND MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE However. Thailand's jewelry industry has still managed to maintain its competitive edge in terms of pricing, creative design, and marketing because of the government's supports through a myriad of measures ranging from import tariff waivers for raw materials used in production, an establishment of Jewelry Research and Development Institute, and artisans development through partnership with high education institutions, as well as the preparedness of the Thai private sector as the centers for gemstones trading and jewelry research as well as excellence in jewelry manufacturing. The company, having been fully aware of such competition environments, has continuously pursued quality policy throughout several decades in business. The company has stayed clearly focused on creative design and marketing excellence as indicated by the company's present market leadership in its own brands development and the world-class mass brand producer as well as ability to cater to maximum satisfaction of varying customers through the company's subsidiary network which covers the key market regions including Europe, the United States and Asia. In addition, the company is committed to steadfastly promoting the sense of business responsibilities which will eventually lead to respect for environments, the legitimate rights of surrounding communities and societies while running business on the fair treatment to all parties.

SHAREHOLDER AND MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE Inside Information Control

1. To minimize the company's business risk 2. To help prevent any loss, leakage or misuse of the company's assets 3. To increase accuracy and creditability of the company's financial report 4. To help ensure the compliance with the laws and relevant regulations of the company's personnel. 5. To help ensure the efficiency of the company's business management through useful and effective deployment of the company's resources to achieve the maximum benefits to all stakeholders. To help protect the investment of the company's shareholders. The company also has its own Internal Audit Department to ensure that the company's important operations and financial activities are undertaken in line with this policy and to produce the greatest efficiency. The internal audit department has also overseen the compliance with the laws and regulations which many affect the company. To make the Internal Audit Department independent and fully capable of performing its duties and counterbalance, the Board of Directors has also a mandate that the department reports its auditing results directly to the company's Audit Committee who will then re-evaluate the performance.

The company has determined principles of the best practice and responsibilities for executives and the use of insider information by the company's employees that can be summarized as follows: They (the company's executives and employees) must not abuse power and responsibilities for the sake of personal interests or anybody's gains; not disclose confidential information of the company for personal interests or to anybody without the due consent of the company; not to perform any actions that may result in the conflict of interests to the company without informing the company. They must also not let outsiders get access to or to be aware of the company's inside information which has yet to be publicized and could affect the company's share prices, and not trade the company's shares for personal gains or that of any others.

Internal Control The company has given importance of the efficiency of the internal control both in management and operational levels, because the company has realized that efficient internal control is instrumental to build sensible confidence within the management on matters as follows:-

Dividend Policy The company has policy to pay dividend at the rate of not more than 60% of the annual net profit after corporate income tax deduction. The company's Board of Directors would consider first the operating profit, financial conditions, and capital requirement both at present and the future.

The dividend payment would be based on the company's operating performance, financial conditions, and capital requirement considered by the Board of Directors and endorsed by the shareholders.

RISK FACTORS Risk factors that affected the industry As a result of trade liberalization, Thailand's current jewelry market has experienced stiffer competition not only on the design and quality front but also pricing and a continuous price surge of raw materials for jewelry manufacturing such as gold, silver and stones. Above all, the prices of raw materials are expected to be subject to further volatility, hence delaying purchases. Having realized such challenges, the company has pursued A policy to expand production bases to across the Asian region to capitalize on the existing strong points of each country. Also, the company has upgraded production techniques to reduce the reliance on key raw materials resulting in a substantial reduction of our material costs making the overal production costs steady and stable to a satisfactory level. Moreover, the company has well diversified marketing risk by expanding distribution through the company's own channels and regional distribution bases to cover over 40 different countries.

Risk factors that affected the company's operations. 1. Risk Factors on Sales and Production Rapidly changing environments have prompted the Company's existing customers to reduce significantly their inventories and to need more developed products as well as items in a wider price range and quality. To cope with this change, the company has developed production techniques to cut lead times on production reducing accordingly the customers' stock levels. The company has also adopted state-of-the-art technology in design to create product diversity, to accommodate varying demands of our trade partners. The company has also been able to achieve the in manufacturing of products in different range of prices and quality using our mix of production bases which span throughout Asian region.

2. Human Resource Risk As by nature the jewelry industry desperately needs high expertise, skill as well as innovation and creativity, the company has pursued a policy to continuously improve the administration, management and human resource development structure starting from selection process to recruit suitable persons, and to upgrade competency and operational capacity of staff in each position with in house training programs coupled with offering of incentives and awards on performance and sharing a joint vision for everyone in the organization to pursue, in order to retain our quality workers. 3. Financial Risk 3.1 As the company engages in exports to foreign markets and imports of raw materials for production (about 43% of the production), the company could be subject either to gain or loss from foreign exchange volatility. The company has well realized the exposure arising from the foreign exchange fluctuation, thus hedging with forward contracts and providing a natural hedge against foreign currency obligations. 3.2 Credit Risk arising from overdue payment of direct customers and related companies. The Company has a set policy to be strictly careful of extending credit lines to new clients, with all evidence, documentary information and references taken into account to prevent any later dispute resulting in the ability to select new customers who have the quality and efficiency for long term development and financial stability. In addition, the company has also had strict policy on debt collection and debt controls as well as close contacts with debtors and provisions set aside for doubtful debts of any suspect accounts. As a result, substantial impact from the debt defaults was unlikely.

RISK FACTORS 4. Risk Factors on Business Planning and Information Technology As a result of information technology advancement and a growing contact with customers through the Internet, the company has realized its information network is subject to hacking risk from international users. In a bid to curb such a risk, the Company has installed firewall systems to prevent an access from unauthorized users and set policies to effectively control the access into the company's information network, as well as state -of-the-art backup information system.

RELATE PARTY TRANSACTIONS 5. Risk from Market Liberalization Currently, the world's gems and jewelry industry has experienced a deep cut of import tariffs as evidenced by the international trade with India which starts a tariff cut to zero percent since September last year. As result, the industry would be definitely hit particularly in terms of increasing number of competitors in the market. Despite that challenge, the company still manages to see continuous growth, thanks to the company's focus on product leadership, and unique creative designs for the leading brands of each client.

Inter-related Transactions. The company and the major shareholders had no other business involved or competing against it. During 2005 and 2006 the company had inter-related transactions only with the affiliates, subsidiaries and related companies with joint management and Directors within normal trade practices. (please see the financial remark No.6)

Necessity and rationalization The inter-related items occurring among the company, its affiliates and subsidiaries are business items are normal practice, and the board of directors or the board of executives had approved them in compliance with the appropriate procedures according to the regulations of the Company in all respects.

Measures or steps for approval of the inter-related items The inter-related items that occurred or that could take place in the future are subject to the approval of the board of directors, or executive Directors who must approve according to the appropriate procedures according to the regulations of the company. The directors who had vested interest in approving the said items were refrained from voting on such issues.

Policies and trends on making the future inter-related items The future inter-related items of the company shall be implemented in the normal business practice as usual without a special treatment. No transfers of interests among the company, the affiliates and persons of vested

42

ANNUAL REPORT 2006 PRANDA JEWELRY

interest. Nevertheless, the company shall ask the inspection committee or the auditor of the company or an independent specialist to audit and show appropriateness of the prices and rationalization of making the items .

Those financial statements were included in the consolidated financial statements with total assets as at 31 December 2006 of Baht 1,329 million, total revenues and net loss for the year then ended of Baht 2,282 million and Baht 14 million, respectively (2005: a local subsidiary company and 6 overseas subsidiary companies with total assets of Baht 1,135 million, total revenues of Baht 1,602 million and net loss of Baht 102 million). In addition, the Company's financial statements include its investment in those subsidiaries stated under the equity method, amounting to Baht 246 million as at 31 December 2006 (2005: Baht 166 million) and its share of loss for the year then ended, amounting to Baht 14 million (2005: share of loss Baht 102 million). The subsidiary companies' financial statements were audited by other auditors, as discussed in note 3.2 to the financial statements. Their reports have already been furnished to me. My opinion on the consolidated financial statements, insofar as they relate to the amounts included for those subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits together with the reports of the other auditors mentioned above provide a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, based on my audits and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pranda Jewelry Public Company Limited and its subsidiary companies and of Pranda Jewelry Public Company Limited as at 31 December 2006 and 2005 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

ANNUAL REPORT 2006 PRANDA JEWELRY

In this regard, the Company has elected to adopt the change in 2007. Adoption of the change in 2007 will necessitate the restatement of the Company's 2006 separate financial statements to be presented for comparative purposes along with the financial statements for 2007. The restatement will have the effect of decreasing net income in the separate income statement for 2006 by approximately Baht 81 million (Baht 0.24 per share) and decreasing net worth in the balance sheet at 31 December 2006 by approximately Baht 27 million.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In October 2006, the Federation of Accounting Professions issued Notification No. 26/2006 regarding Accounting Standard No. 44 "Consolidated Financial Statements and Accounting for Investments in Subsidiaries" (Amendment No. 1), under which investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates are to be presented in the separate financial statements under the cost method rather than the equity method. Entities which are not ready to adopt the cost method in 2006 can continue to use the equity method through the end of 2006 and adopt the cost method as from 1 January 2007.

5.1 Revenue recognition a) Sales of goods Sales of goods are recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer. Sales are the invoiced value, excluding value added tax, of goods supplied after deducting discounts. b) Rental and service income Rental income is recognised based on accrual basis. Service revenue is recognised when services have been rendered taking into account the stage of completion. c) Interest income Interest income is recognised as interest accrues based on the effective rate method. 5.2 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash at bank, and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and not subject to withdrawal restrictions. 5.3 Trade accounts receivable Trade accounts receivable are stated at the net realisable value. Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for the estimated losses that may be incurred in collection of receivables. The allowance is generally based on collection experiences and analysis of debtor aging. 5.4 Inventories Finished goods and work in process are valued at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost) and net realisable value. Standard cost includes all production costs and attributable factory overheads. Raw materials are valued at the lower of average cost and net realisable value. ANNUAL REPORT 2006 PRANDA JEWELRY

69


5.5 Investments a) Investments in debt securities, expected to be held to maturity, are recorded at amortised cost. b) Investments in non-marketable equity securities, which the Company classifies as other investments, are stated at cost net of allowance for loss on diminution in value (if any). c) Investments in subsidiary companies in the separate financial statements and investments in associated companies are accounted for under the equity method. Under this method, the investment is initially recorded at cost, and each subsequent year the Company adjusts the value of investment to incorporate the Company's proportionate share of the operating results of the subsidiary. Losses in excess of the cost of investments in subsidiaries (in the separate financial statements of the Company) and associates, are presented as non-current liabilities in the balance sheets under the caption "Provision for loss on investment accounted for under equity method". 5.6 Property, plant and equipment/Depreciation Land is stated at revalued amount. Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and allowance for loss on impairment of assets (if any). Land is initially recorded at cost on the acquisition date, and subsequently revalued by an independent professional valuer to its fair value. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from the fair value at the balance sheet date. Differences arising from the revaluation are dealt with in the financial statements as follows: - When the carrying amount of land is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase is credited directly to equity under the heading of "Revaluation surplus on land". However, a revaluation increase will be recognised as income to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of land previously recognised as an expense. - When carrying amount of land is decreased as a result of a revaluation, the decrease is recognised as an expense in the income statement. However, a revaluation decrease is to be charged directly against the related "Revaluation surplus on land" to the extent that the decrease does not exceed the amount held in the revaluation surplus in respect of land. Any excess amount is to be recognised as an expense in the income statement. Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated by reference to their cost on a straight-line basis (although for certain assets of some subsidiary companies, a declining balance method is used) over the following estimated useful lives: Land improvements Buildings Leasehold improvements Machinery Furniture, fixtures and equipment Motor vehicles

period of lease

20 years 14, 20 years (5 - 39 years) 5 - 10 years 3 - 10 years 3 - 6 years

Depreciation is included in determining income. No depreciation is provided on land and assets under installation and construction in progress. The revaluation surplus on land can neither be offset against deficit nor used for dividend payment.

70

ANNUAL REPORT 2006 PRANDA JEWELRY

5.7 Leasehold rights Leasehold rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated by reference to cost on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease (15-30 years). Amortisation is included in determining income. 5.8 Goodwill Goodwill, of an overseas subsidiary company, presented as an asset in the consolidated financial statements and is recognised as expense in the income statement within 10 years, by the straight-line basis. 5.9 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's operations. 5.10 Foreign currencies Foreign currency transactions are translated into Baht at the exchange rates ruling on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies outstanding at the balance sheet date are translated into Baht at the exchange rate ruling on the balance sheet date. Gains and losses on exchange rate are included in determining income. 5.11 Impairment of assets The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If there is subsequently any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased, the Company will make another estimate of the asset's recoverable value, compare this with the book value, and reverse previously recognised impairment to reflect the change in recoverable value. 5.12 Employee benefits Salary, wages, bonus and contributions to the social security fund and provident fund are recognised as expenses when incurred. 5.13 Income tax The Company and its subsidiary companies (in Thailand) calculate income tax in the accounts based on the taxable profits determined in accordance with tax legislation. Overseas subsidiary companies calculate income tax in accordance with tax rate regulated in tax law of those countries. 5.14 Use of accounting estimates Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances, affecting amounts reported in these financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 29.1 Financial risk management The Company's financial instruments, as defined under Thai Accounting Standard No. 48 "Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentations", principally comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, loans, investments, and short-term and long-term loans. The financial risks associated with these financial instruments and how they are managed is described below. Credit risk The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to credit risk primarily with respect to trade accounts receivable, loans, notes and other receivable. The Company and its subsidiaries manage the risk by adopting appropriate credit control policies and procedures and therefore do not expect to incur material financial losses. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries do not have high concentration of credit risk since they have a large customer base. The maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amounts of receivables, loans, other receivables and notes receivable as stated in the balance sheet. Interest rate risk The Company and its subsidiaries' exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to its cash at banks, bank overdrafts, short term loan and long-term borrowings. However, since most of 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. Foreign currency risk The Company and its subsidiaries' exposure to foreign currency risk arises mainly from trading transactions and borrowings that are denominated in foreign currencies. The Company and its subsidiaries seek to reduce this risk by entering into forward exchange contracts when they consider appropriate. Generally, the forward contracts mature within one year.
