Message from Chairman
Mr. Prida Tiasuwan The Board Chairman / Acting Chairman of Executive Directors
To all shareholders The world economy was in the doldrums in 2007 largely because of the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the United States and the historic high oil prices, resulting in a severe decline of consumer confidence in the world economies. In addition, the global jewelry industry has been suffering from a sharp rise in prices of raw materials both for gold and silver, Thailandûs Jewelry Industry losing the benefit of the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) from the United States and facing continued appreciation of the baht against the US dollar. However, Thailandûs jewelry industry has still fortunately managed to fine-tune and retain its competitiveness in the world market as indicated by a steady growth of exports over the previous year. The export growth is attributed to the fact that Thailand, fully supported by the government, is currently the worldûs key jewelry exporter, the trading hub of international gems, the major manufacturing base of the worldûs jewelry, with a long history of conventional know-how, expertise in jewelry production, and rich in the large number of highly skilled craftsmen.

The industryรปs shipments grew substantially by up to 46.72% compared with 13.48% growth in a year before which fetched the country US$ 3,668.29 million.

Significant Changes and Developments in 2007 Distribution Base Expansion The Company increased its investment in Primagold International Company Limited by 100 million baht, raising Primagold Internationalûs registered and paid-up capital to 200 million baht. The capital increase aims to expand the market for own brands including Prima Gold, Prima Diamond, Prima Art, and Century Gold both in domestic and foreign countries. The Company raised the investment in Pranda & Kroll GmbH & Co. KG Limited by 2.4 million euros to expand the market for the groupûs leading brands and the subsidiaryûs own brands such as Christ, Cai, Merri, Michael Schumacher, POMPOOS in Germany and Europe notably through the chain stores, leading department stores and TV channels. Pranda Jewelry Public Company Limited has set up a new subsidiary in India, named Pranda Jewelry Private Limited with initial registered capital of US$ 22,000. Pranda Jewelry Public Company Limited holds 51% stake in the joint venture Company with India-based Gunjan Jewels Pvt. Ltd taking the remaining 49%. Expected benefit is to open and expand the markets for its own brands including Prima Gold, Prima Art, and Cai in India. Pranda & Kroll GmbH & Co. KG, has taken over KSV Brand GmbH, which operates the distribution of jewelry products under Christ, Cai, Merri, Michael Schumacher brands. The investment is expected to help enable the Company to expand the market to Germany and Europe under its own brands. Capital Structure The Company has issued and paid-up capital of 395.75 million baht and retained earnings of 1,454 million baht, with shareholderûs equity totaling 2,879 million baht. Current liabilities of 1,127 and non-current liabilities of 424 baht. In total, the Company has total liabilities of 1,551 million baht. Based on total liabilities and shareholderûs equity, the Companyûs debt-to-equity ratio was equivalent to 0.54 times. The above figures well represent the Companyûs established financial structure. In addition the Company reported Times Interest Earned equivalent to 8.59 times that reflects relatively low financial risk of the groupûs enterprises.
Industry Outlook and Future Competition The worldûs economy was trapped in the doldrums in 2007 mainly thanks to the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the United States and the historic high oil prices. In addition in the domestic market, the countryûs political situation has yet to show signs of stability and the baht became stronger against the US dollar. These events resulted in a world-wide loss of consumer confidence and a reduction consumerû spending. The global jewelry industry has been suffering from a historic sharp rise in prices of raw materials notably of gold. Thailandûs jewelry industry has also lost the benefit of the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) from the United States which is the key export market for Thailandûs jewelry. Stiffer price competition in Thailandûs jewelry industry is rampant particularly driven by the cheaper products from China and India. The Thai jewelry industry therefore needs to upgrade its products to middle and high-end quality particularly to leading International Brand customers to offset price competition, and expand its marketing bases more to Europe, and Asia to prevent reliance on any particular markets. The Company has anticipated such risk factors and the competition outlook and has implemented preventive measures to offset these eventualities. Pranda Group has adopted a risk diversification strategy in production by setting up seven production facilities in four countries in the region enabling the Group to access the most competitive manufacturing base for any particular product. In distribution strategy, the Company has currently established distribution outlets in six countries to support all of our major customer regions. In addition, the Company has been developing its own specialist brands as a strategy to reduce reliance only on any one or more markets. Pranda Jewelry Public Company Limited

Risk Factors Risk factors that affected the industry The purchasing power of the US consumers has been substantially reduced because of the sub prime mortgage crisis, delivering a setback to Thailandûs jewelry industry which heavily relies on the US market. In addition, the prices of raw materials for jewelry production, gold, silver, and gems, have risen increasing the end price of jewelry products at a time when the consumersû purchasing power was already under pressure. Thailandûs jewelry industry has now lost the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) from the United States, while price competition has been getting intensified from China and India, and the baht continues being strong against the US dollar. Having anticipated such challenges, the Company has pursued a policy to expand production bases across the Asian region, establishing five factories in four countries, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam & China to capitalize on the existing strong points of each nation. In addition, the Company has upgraded production techniques to reduce reliance on key raw materials resulting in a substantial reduction of material costs making the overall production costs steady and stable to a satisfactory level. The Company has also diversified marketing risk by expanding distribution through the its own channels and regional distribution bases covering over 40 different countries and is also committed to developing its own specialist brands into Internationally.
Risk factors that affected the Companyûs Operations. 1. Risk Factors on Sales and Production Intensive competition in the jewelry market and rapidly changing trends have prompted the Companyûs Trade customers to require a greater variety of design, faster delivery, and premium quality at more affordable price ranges. To cope with this change, the Company has its own product design and development center established which is responsible especially for developing products to accommodate the exacting and varying requirements of the customers. The Company has also upgraded production techniques to cut lead times on production, making faster product deliveries to customers thus reducing their inventory and has a spread of production bases across Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam & China, each with skilled and long experienced craftsmen, allowing the Company to have many manufacturing options leading as a consequence the Company to retain its quality products at competitive prices.
2. Human Resource Risk By nature the number of experienced, skilled and creative craftsmen in the jewelry industry is relatively limited. The Company has therefore developed an efficient process of selecting potential employees who are capable of adapting themselves to the organizationûs culture, and ready to learn the techniques required to be skilled craftsmen after extensive training. The Company has also pursued a policy to develop an excellent working environment, appropriate welfare benefits, and reasonable and fair returns based on their individual performance. 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 total raw materials) and sales on the credit basis to foreign customers, the Company could be subject either to gain or loss from foreign exchange. The Company has well realized such exposure arising from the foreign exchange fluctuation, thus hedging with forward contracts, foreign exchange put options and providing a hedge against foreign currency obligations. 3.2 Credit Risk arising from overdue payment of general accounting receivables and accounting receivables of related companies. The Company has a set policy to be strictly careful of extending credit lines both to existing and new clients, taking into account thoroughly their operating results, financial status, financial liquidity, and thorough strict credit checks. The Company has also developed debt monitoring and collection process and reviews the credit lines of the customers on the regular basis. 4. Risk Factors on Business Planning and Information As a result of information technology advancement and growing contact with customers through the Internet, the Company has realized its information network is probably subject to accessibility by the outsiders who are not related or authorized to the Companyûs information system which may later result in damages and losses to the Companyûs important database which is used routinely run the Companyûs administration. In a bid to curb such a risk, the Company has installed firewall systems to prevent access from unauthorized users and set policies to efficiently control the access into the Companyûs information network, as well as state-of-the-art backup information system.

Management Discussion and Analysis Pranda Jewelry Public Company Limited (Plc) had changed its accounting policy for recording investments in subsidiaries and associated companies in separate financial statements from the equity method to the cost method, in compliance with the notifications of the Federation of Accounting Professions. The change in accounting policy resulted in the difference of 9.1 million baht or 2.30% between the separated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2007 which posted net profit of 396 million baht and the consolidated statements which posted net profit of 406 million baht. The difference of the net profits in the two financial statements stemmed mainly from the fact that the net profit in consolidated statements had combined operating results of subsidiaries companies and associated companies according to the investment ratio of the Company, while the net profits presented in separate income statements recognized only the accounts related to investments in subsidiaries and associated companies whereby the income recognition from the investments in subsidiaries and associated companies would be realized only once the Company has received dividend payment from those subsidiaries and associated companies. The Company would like to submit the managementûs discussion and analysis on the financial performance for the period ended December 31, 2007 of the çConsolidated Financial Statementsé as follows :-
production base of the world. Succession of expertise and jewelry production culture, a mass of highly skilled craftsmen and governmentûs promotions and supports also play a crucial contribution to the industryûs growth. The Company, having fully realized such challenges, has throughout the years executed strategy to ensure growth in the manner not only of quality and sustainability whereby concentrating upon collaborations with promising international brands both in production and design. The Company; moreover, aims to manufacture and expand its own brands particularly into markets which have relatively high purchasing power such as China, India and Dubai, etc. As a result of the execution of such strategies, the Company has managed steady growth as reflected by the Companyûs sales which rose 6.96% or 284 million baht in 2007. On top of that, the Company has effectively controlled sales and administration expenses, resulting in a marginal increase of expense by only 2.30% in 2007, together with effective and smart exchange rate risk management with forward contracts which helped cut foreign exchange loss up to 68 million baht or 61.82% Nonetheless, given the bottom line, the Company posted a net profit of 6.17% to 406 million baht from 432 million baht. However, it should be noted that the strong net profit in 2006 was due to special items arising from the land price re-appraisal which resulted in a reduction of allowance for impairment loss on land held for development by 67.4 million baht which was recognized as revenue in this item.
1. Operation of the Company and subsidiaries Despite the worldûs economy in 2007 had experienced a significant slowdown from a year earlier thanks to the USûs subprime mortgage crisis and the all-time highs of all prices which have shaken drastically the confidence of consumers in the worldûs economic conditions and prospect. Worse ever, the worldûs jewelry industry has been suffering severely from a sharp rise in prices of raw materials both for gold and silver, the US authorities had cut generalized system of preferences (GSP) privileges for Thai gold jewelry and the baht continues being strong against the US dollar. However, Thailandûs gems and jewelry industry remained capable of adjusting itself and retaining competitiveness in the world market as evidenced by the steady growth of the industry over a year earlier. The growth was mainly attributed to the fact that Thailand is currently the worldûs leading jewelry exporter and operates the world-class gem trading base and the jewelry

expansion of Pranda (Guangzhou) notably into the United States, England, Germany and Japan. The Companyûs Chinese subsidiary firm also plans to expand the market in China, the mainland, both through wholesaling system and distribution of its own brand, esse, the silver jewelry. Target customers are mainly among those aged between 25 - 35 years both through its own distribution channel and 40 franchised outlets throughout China. The new capital which was expected to be paid up in the fourth quarter of 2007 was yet to be paid as at December 31, 2007, as Pranda (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. is still in the process to ask for permission from Chinese authorities. Money transfer was likely in the second quarter of 2008. 3. Increasing capital in Pranda & Kroll GmbH & Co. KG by one million euros or about 47 million baht. As a result, Pranda & Kroll GmbH & Co. KG had maintained investment budget of 1,974,500 euro or approximately 95 million baht. After the recapitalization, the Company still retains holding ratio in Pranda & Kroll GmbH & Co. KG at 51%.

KG particularly from the chain stores, Germanyûs leading department stores and those from TV channels. On March 30, the Company has already transferred the new capital to the German partnership.
ë Liabilities The Company and subsidiaries had total liabilities of 1,551 million baht, up 253 million baht or 19.56% over 2006 in which current liabilities increased 277 million baht mainly due to a rise of trade account payables worth 281 million baht, and non-current liabilities dropped by 24 million baht because the long-term loans under which the repayment is made on the quarterly basis would fully be settled in March 2013. 3. Critical factors that may affect companyûs operation or financial status in the future. The marketûs liberalization both on the bilateral and multilateral level is expected to trigger intensifying competition in the future. In contrast, the free trade should also offer greater opportunities for the Group to expand the market which meets the Companyûs mass production concept and affordable price range from $ 5 - $ 250 a piece as well as a variety of products. However, the price swing of raw materials may defer customersû buying decisions, while exchange rate fluctuation may affect the Companyûs bottom line. Future Projects : None
Remuneration of the Auditor 2.4 Sources of Fund ë Capital Structure Boosted by consistently profitable operations, the Company and its subsidiaries reported its retained earnings increased from 1,412 million baht to 1,454 million baht or up by 2.94%.

Chairman of the Audit Committee, with Mr. Verachai Tantikul, and Assoc. Prof. Sarita Bunnag as the Audit Committee members. All three directors are fully qualified according to requirements of the Stock Exchange of Thailand and have well performed their duties as specified in the Companyûs regulations.

In 2007, the Audit Committee provided for a collective meeting among the internal auditors, external auditors and the Audit Committee on four occasions in order to verify information on the Companyûs financial statement and related items of the Company and subsidiaries. The committee would listen to all useful suggestions to ensure accuracy, completeness and creditability of the financial reports as well as better efficiency of the organizationûs internal controls. In such meetings, there were no executives of the Company attending. Results of each meeting would be digested and summarized before being submitted to the Board of Directors for acknowledgement and improvement. Last yearûs collective meetings could be summed up as follows :1. The Companyûs financial report has been prepared according to the generally accepted accounting principles and accounting standards of the Federation of Accounting Profession on an accurate, complete and creditable basis as well as sufficient disclosure of important information and that of related items and any other items which may lead to a conflict of interests. 2. Adequacy of the Companyûs internal control systems.

Financial Report of Statements Independent Auditor To the Shareholders of Pranda Jewelry Public Company Limited I have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements balance sheets of Pranda Jewelry Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2007 and 2006, the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders没 equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the separate financial statements of Pranda Jewelry Public Company Limited for the same periods. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company没s management as to their correctness and the completeness of the presentation. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits. I did not audit the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007, of a local subsidiary company, Pranda Lodging Co., Ltd., and 9 overseas subsidiaries, comprising Pranda Vietnam Co., Ltd., Pranda UK Ltd., H.GRINGOIRE s.a.r.l., Pranda (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., Pranda & Kroll GmbH & Co. KG, which incorporated the financial statements of another subsidiary, KSV Brand GmbH and Pranda North America, Inc., which incorporated the financial statements of another subsidiary, Crystaline North America, Inc. Those financial statements were included in the consolidated financial statements, with total assets as at 31 December 2007 of Baht 1,532 million, and total revenues and net loss for the year then ended of Baht 2,216 million and Baht 25 million, respectively (2006 : a local subsidiary company and 7 overseas subsidiaries with total assets of Baht 1,329 million, total revenues of Baht 2,282 million and net loss of Baht 14 million). These subsidiaries financial statements were audited by other auditors, as discussed in note 2.2.3 to the financial statements. Their reports have already been furnished to me. My opinion on the consolidated financial statements, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports of such 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 subsidiaries and of Pranda Jewelry Public Company Limited as at 31 December 2007 and 2006 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Without qualifying my opinion on the above financial statements, I draw attention to the matter as discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements whereby, effective 1 January 2007, the Company changed its accounting policy for recording investments in subsidiaries and associates in the separate financial statements from the equity method to the cost method. The Company has thus restated the separate financial statements as at 31 December 2006 and for the year then ended to reflect this accounting change.

Financial Statements 3. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The Federation of Accounting Professions (FAP) has issued Notifications No. 9/2550, 38/2550 and 62/2550 regarding Accounting Standards. The notifications mandate the use of the following new Accounting Standards. a) Accounting Standards which are effective for the current year TAS 44 (revised 2007) Consolidated Financial Statements and Separate Financial Statements TAS 45 (revised 2007) Investments in Associates TAS 46 (revised 2007) Interests in Joint Ventures These accounting standards become effective for the financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after 1 January 2007. During the first quarter of the current year, the Company changed its accounting policy for recording investments in subsidiaries and associates in the separate financial statements in order to comply with the revised Thai Accounting Standards No. 44 and 45 as discussed in Note 4 However, the revised Thai Accounting Standards No.46 is not relevant to the Companyûs business. b) Accounting Standards which are not effective for the current year TAS 25 (revised 2007) Cash Flow Statements TAS 29 (revised 2007) Leases TAS 31 (revised 2007) Inventories TAS 33 (revised 2007) Borrowing Costs TAS 35 (revised 2007) Presentation of Financial Statements TAS 39 (revised 2007) Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors TAS 41 (revised 2007) Interim Financial Reporting TAS 43 (revised 2007) Business Combinations TAS 49 (revised 2007) Construction Contracts TAS 51 Intangible Assets These accounting standards will become effective for the financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after 1 January 2008. The management has assessed the effect of these revised accounting standards and believes that they will not have any significant impact on the financial statements for the year in which they are initially applied, except for the following accounting standard. TAS 43 (revised 2007) çBusiness Combinationsé TAS 43 (revised 2007) does not require the Company to amortise goodwill acquired in a business combination. Such goodwill is instead to be tested for impairment, and measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. This accounting standard applies to goodwill arising from business combinations for which the agreement date is on or after 1 January 2008. Previously recognised goodwill can be accounted for prospectively, with the Company discontinuing the amortisation of the goodwill and instead testing for impairment, as from the beginning of the first fiscal year starting on or after 1 January 2008. 4. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY FOR RECORDING INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES AND ASSOCIATES IN THE SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS During the first quarter of the current year, the Company changed its accounting policy for recording investments in subsidiaries and associates in the separate financial statements from the equity method to the cost method, in compliance with Accounting Standard No. 44 (Revised 2007) regarding çConsolidated Financial Statements and Separate Financial Statementsé, under which investments in subsidiaries and associates are to be presented in the separate financial statements under the cost method. In this regard, the Company has restated the previous periodûs separate financial statements as though the investments in subsidiaries and associates had originally been recorded using the cost method. The change has the effect of decreasing net income in the separate income statements for the year ended 31 December 2007 and 2006 by Baht 9.1 million (Baht 0.02 per share) and Baht 8.5 million (Baht 0.02 per share), respectively. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting policy has been presented under the heading of çCumulative effect of the change in accounting policy for investments in subsidiaries and associatesé in the separate statements of changes in shareholdersû equity. Such change in accounting policy affects only the accounts related to investments in subsidiaries and associates in the Companyûs separate financial statements, with no effect to the consolidated financial statements.

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 an 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 on an accrual basis based on the effective rate method. 5.2 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash at banks, 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 and are charged to production costs whenever consumed. 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) Investment in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. d) Investments in subsidiaries and associates are accounted for in the separate financial statements using the cost 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 appraiser to its fair value. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from fair value at the balance sheet date. Differences arising from the revaluation are dealt with in the financial statements as follows : ë 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 çRevaluation surplus on landé. 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. ë 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 çRevaluation surplus on landé 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.

Financial Statements 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
20 years 14, 20 years period of lease (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. 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 Goodwil Goodwill of an overseas subsidiary company is presented as an asset in the consolidated financial statements and is amortised to expenses in the income statement over 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没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 rates ruling on the balance sheet date. Gains and losses on exchange 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没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没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没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 Salaries, wages, bonus and contributions to the social security fund and provident fund are recognised as expenses when incurred.

Financial Statements 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 concentrations 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没 exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to cash at banks, bank overdrafts, short term loans and long-term borrowings. However, since most of the 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 Foreign currency risk is the risk for which a valuation of financial instrument can be volatile depends on a foreign currency exchange rate volatility. The Company and its subsidiaries没 exposure to foreign currency risk arises mainly from trading transactions and borrowings that are denominated in foreign currencies. The Company seeks to reduce this risk by entering into forward exchange contracts when it considers appropriate. Generally, the forward contracts mature within one year.
The balances of financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at 31 December 2007 are summarised below.

A fair value is the amount for which an asset can be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an armûs length transaction. The fair value is determined by reference to the market price of the financial instrument or by using an appropriate valuation technique, depending on the nature of the instrument. 32.
