Message from the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer


MEDIA REVOLUTIONIST

Message from the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dear Shareholders, The year 2015 was an important step for RS in changing its corporate structure into the media company, after fully transformed its digital tv business under the “Channel 8� brand using number 27 of the nationwide tv reception. This was the result of competing and receiving the general operating television license in the category of license for using the frequency and operating the television business from the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) in late 2013. In the past year, free tv industry encountered a very intense competition from the digital tv business as each operator competed in capturing viewership which

an increase in economic growth comparing to previous year but overall picture was still stagnant. It was due to the fact that domestic economy from the previous year was heavily stumbled due to political turmoil. External factors also had some impact towards overall Thai economy that resulted in impact towards the advertising industry which rely its growth in conjunction with the country economic situation.


03 At any rate, the overall Thai economy in 2016 is expected to improve, based on economic stimulus measures such as the measure to help low income earners, the measure to support SMEs, the measures to stimulate the real estate sector, etc. Other initiatives include more clear and concrete plans for public investments in infrastructure, which will help build trust in private sector investments and among consumers. As for exports and tourism, such currency. All these factors contribute to the anticipation that the GDP in 2016 will grow, leading the way for growth in the advertising industry. As RS has experience for a long period of time and is ready in every operation whether in experienced situations, these enable “Channel 8” to continuously increasing its rating. From data of AGB Nielsen Media Research, the “Channel 8” has number 4 rating nationwide, which includes rating for both the analogue and digital channels while variety programs and the sports programs receive huge response from viewers. In 2015, the operating results showed a slightly decrease in revenue which was due to revenue from copyright management of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in the prior year. Excluding revenue from this event, revenue from the digital TV business recorded growth as each channel registered continuous good performance. Apart from “Channel 8” which showed number 4 rating in the country, the “Channel 2”, and “Sabaidee TV” also showed radio media business decreased slightly due to saturation in the industry but “Cool Fahrenheit 93” protected its from music distribution business decreased from last year from changes in consumers’ behavior. However, music business was considered an important business of the Company as it was the main source of contents and artists which can be extended to media business. Revenue from Event Business showed an increase from previous year due to increasing number of events. On the corporate social responsibility, RS committed to activities for society in conjunction with the entertainment business all along. In 2015, we have joined in with variety of social projects including some of our own activities. Some of the projects that could be mentioned

were “RS Birthday Charity”, the monthly activity that invited singers or actors who had birthday in that month to join in as the “Children Foundation”, “Social Service Center for the Elders”, “School for the Blind”, “Veterans General Hospital”, etc. Moreover, there were many activities such the occasion of the Disabled Day so that all income would be used to develop and support all disabled people throughout the country; campaign to raise awareness to defense in the World Aids Day; campaign on selling the to help the underserved patients and purchase medical equipment; activity on charity rally with income to build the hospital of the Thai Red Cross, etc. Good corporate governance is always a very important factor in operating the RS business as indicates in the Corporate Governance Report of Thai Listed Companies 2015 that the Company has been listed in the very best CG scoring. The Company has reviewed its good corporate governance policy on the yearly basis and always instructs its Directors, Executives and employees to follow the policy. Apart from the goal in achieving the business success, we are determined to build sustainable society and balance that covers the economy, society and our shareholders. On behalf of the Company’s Board of Directors, customers, government agencies, and sponsors who Most important of all are our employees and artists who dedicated their bodies and minds, and ready to change and encounter with every situations. All these have generated the corporate culture and important strong point for RS people in moving our organization forward towards

New financial reporting standards, accounting standards and amendments to financial reporting standards and related interpretations 2.2.1 New financial reporting standards, accounting standards and amendments to financial reporting standards and related interpretations which are effective for the periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 a)

Amendments to accounting standard, financial reporting standards and related interpretations with a significant changes are as follows: TAS 1 (revised 2014) TAS 16 (revised 2014) TAS 19 (revised 2014) TAS 27 (revised 2014) TAS 28 (revised 2014) TAS 34 (revised 2014) TFRS 10 TFRS 11 TFRS 12 TFRS 13 TFRIC 14 TFRIC 20

Presentation of financial statements Property, plant and equipment Employee benefits Separate financial statements Investments in associates and joint ventures Interim financial reporting Consolidated financial statements Joint arrangements Disclosure of interests in other entities Fair value measurement TAS 19 - The limit on a defined benefit asset, minimum funding requirements and their interaction Stripping costs in the production phase of a surface mine

TAS 1 (revised 2014), the main change is that a requirement for entities to group items presented in ‘other comprehensive income’ (OCI) on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently (reclassification adjustments). The amendments do not address which items are presented in OCI. This standard has no impact to the Group’s financial statements. TAS 16 (revised 2014) indicates that spare part, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment are recognised as PPE when they meet the definition of PPE. Otherwise, such items are classified as inventory. This standard has no impact to the Group’s financial statements. TAS 19 (revised 2014), the key changes are (a) actuarial gains and losses are renamed ‘remeasurements’ and will be recognised immediately in ‘other comprehensive income’ (OCI). Actuarial gains and losses will no longer be deferred using the corridor approach or recognised in profit or loss; and (b) past-service costs will be recognised in the period of a plan amendment; unvested benefits will no longer be spread over a future-service period. This standard has no impact to the Group’s financial statements. TAS 27 (revised 2014) provide the requirements relating to separate financial statements. This standard has no impact to the Group’s financial statements. TAS 28 (revised 2014) provide the requirements for investment in associates and joint ventures accounted by equity method. This standard has no impact to the Group’s financial statements. TAS 34 (revised 2014), the key change is the disclosure requirements for operating segment. An entity shall disclose information of a measure of total assets and liabilities for a particular reportable segment if such amounts are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and if there has been a material change from the amount disclosed in the last annual financial statements for that reportable segment. This standard has no impact to the Group’s financial statements.

Accounting policies (Cont’d) 2.2

New financial reporting standards, accounting standards and amendments to financial reporting standards and related interpretations 2.2.1 New financial reporting standards, accounting standards and amendments to financial reporting standards and related interpretations which are effective for the periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 (Cont’d) a)

Amendments to accounting standard, financial reporting standards and related interpretations with a significant changes are as follows: (Cont’d) TFRS 10 has a single definition of control and supersedes the principles of control and consolidation included within the original TAS 27, ‘Consolidated and separate financial statements’. The standard sets out the requirements for when an entity should prepare consolidated financial statements, defines the principles of control, explains how to apply the principles of control and explains the accounting requirements for preparing consolidated financial statements. The key principle in the new standard is that control exists, and consolidation is required, only if the investor possesses power over the investee, has exposure to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. This standard has no impact to the Group’s financial statements. TFRS 11 defined that a joint arrangement is a contractual arrangement where at least two parties agree to share control over the activities of the arrangement. Unanimous consent toward decisions about relevant activities between the parties sharing control is a requirement in order to meet the definition of joint control. Joint arrangements can be joint operations or joint ventures. The classification is principle based and depends on the parties’ exposure in relation to the arrangement. When the parties’ exposure to the arrangement only extends to the net assets of the arrangement, the arrangement is a joint venture. Joint operations have rights to assets and obligations for liabilities. Joint operations account for their rights to assets and obligations for liabilities. Joint ventures account for their interest by using the equity method of accounting. This standard has no impact to the Group’s financial statements. TFRS 12 require entities to disclose information that helps readers of financial statements to evaluate the nature of risks and financial effects associated with the entity’s interests in subsidiaries, associates, joint arrangements and unconsolidated structured entities. This standard has no impact to the Group’s financial statements. TFRS 13 aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across TFRSs. This standard has no impact to the Group’s financial statements, except for disclosures. TFRIC 14 this interpretation applies to all post-employment defined benefits and other long-term employee benefits. For the purpose of this interpretation, minimum funding requirements are any requirements to fund a post-employment or other long-term benefit plan. This interpretation explains how the pension asset or liability may be affected by a statutory or contractual minimum funding requirement. This standard has no impact to the Group’s financial statements. TFRIC 20 this interpretation sets out the accounting for overburden waste removal (stripping) costs in the production phase of a surface mine. This standard has not relevant to the Group.

New financial reporting standards, accounting standards and amendments to financial reporting standards and related interpretations (Cont’d) 2.2.2 New financial reporting standards, amendments accounting standards and financial reporting standards and related interpretations which are effective for the periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. These standards are not early adopted. a)

Amendments accounting standards and financial reporting standards and related interpretation with major changes to the Group are as follows: TAS 16 (revised 2015) TAS 19 (revised 2015) TAS 24 (revised 2015) TAS 27 (revised 2015) TAS 36 (revised 2015) TAS 38 (revised 2015) TAS 40 (revised 2015) TAS 41 TFRS 2 (revised 2015) TFRS 3 (revised 2015) TFRS 4 (revised 2015) TFRS 8 (revised 2015) TFRS 10 (revised 2015) TFRS 12 (revised 2015) TFRS 13 (revised 2015) TFRIC 21

Property, plant and equipment Employee benefits Related party disclosures Separate financial statements Impairment of assets Intangible assets Investment property Agriculture Share-based payment Business combinations Insurance contracts Operating segments Consolidated financial statements Disclosure of interests in other entities Fair value measurement Levies

TAS 16 (revised 2015),’Property, plant and equipment’ clarifies how the gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation are treated where an entity uses the revaluation model. TAS 19 (revised 2015), ‘Employee benefits’ is amended to apply to contributions from employees or third parties to defined benefit plans and to clarify the accounting treatment of such contributions. The amendment distinguishes between contributions that are linked to service only in the period in which they arise and those linked to service in more than one period. TAS 24 (revised 2015),’Related party disclosures’ includes as a related party an entity that provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity (the ‘management entity’). Disclosure of the amounts charged to the reporting entity is required. TAS 27 (revised 2015) allows an investment entity that is exempted from consolidating its subsidiaries presenting separate financial statements as its only financial statements. It requires the investment entity to measure its investment in subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss. TAS 36 (revised 2015), ‘Impairment of assets’ is amended to provide additional disclosure requirement when the recoverable amount of the assets is measured at fair value less costs of disposal. The disclosures include 1) the level of fair value hierarchy, 2) when fair value measurement categorised within level 2 and level 3, disclosures is required for valuation technique and key assumption. TAS 38 (revised 2015), ‘Intangible assets’ is amended to clarify how the gross carrying amount and the accumulated amortisation are treated where an entity uses the revaluation model.

New financial reporting standards, accounting standards and amendments to financial reporting standards and related interpretations (Cont’d) 2.2.2 New financial reporting standards, amendments accounting standards and financial reporting standards and related interpretations which are effective for the periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. These standards are not early adopted. (Cont’d) a)

Amendments accounting standards and financial reporting standards and related interpretation with major changes to the Group are as follows: (Cont’d) TAS 40 (revised 2015),’Investment property’ clarifies that TFRS 3 should be applied when determining whether an acquisition of an investment property is a business combination. TAS 41, ‘Agriculture’ requires biological assets including agricultural produce, harvested product of the entity’s biological assets, to be measured at fair value less cost to sell. The practical guide on TAS 41 issued by the FAP excludes bearer plant from the scope of TAS 41. The guide required bearer plant to be measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any, according to TAS 16. TFRS 2 (revised 2015), ‘Share based payments’ clarifies the definition of a ‘vesting condition’ and separately defines ‘performance condition’ and ‘service condition’. TFRS 3 (revised 2015), ‘Business combinations’ clarifies i) an obligation to pay contingent consideration which meets the definition of a financial instrument as a financial liability or equity, on the basis of the definitions in TAS 32, ‘Financial instruments: Presentation’ (when announced) or other applicable standards. It also clarifies that all non-equity contingent consideration is measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in value recognised in profit and loss, and ii) TFRS 3 does not apply to the accounting for the formation of any joint venture under TFRS 11. TFRS 4 (revised 2015) applies to all insurance contracts (including reinsurance contracts) that an entity issues and to reinsurance contracts that it holds. This standard is not relevant to the Group’s operations. TFRS 8 (revised 2015), ‘Operating segments’ requires disclosure of the judgements made by management in aggregating operating segments. It is also amended to require a reconciliation of segment assets to the entity’s assets when segment assets are reported to chief operating decision maker. TFRS 10 (revised 2015) ‘Consolidated financial statements’ is amended to define an investment entity and introduce an exception from consolidation. These amendments mean that many funds and similar entities will be exempt from consolidating most of their subsidiaries. Instead, they will measure them at fair value through profit or loss. TFRS 12 (revised 2015) introduces disclosures that an investment entity needs to disclose. TFRS 13 (revised 2015), ’Fair value measurement’ is amended to clarify that the portfolio exception in TFRS 13 applies to all contracts (including non-financial contracts) within the scope of TAS 39 (when announced) or IFRS 9 (when announced). TFRIC 21, ‘Levies’, the Interpretation addresses the accounting for a liability to pay a levy if that liability is within the scope of TAS 37 (revised 2015). It also addresses the accounting for a liability to pay a levy whose timing and amount is certain. The Group’s management are assessing the impact of those standards to the Group’s financial statements.

Group Accounting - Investments in subsidiaries (1)

Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in statement of comprehensive income. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or loss on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. A list of the Group’s principal subsidiaries is set out in Note 12.

(2)

Transactions and non-controlling interests The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the Group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity. When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

Group Accounting - Investments in subsidiaries (3)

Associates Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identifies on acquisition. If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this the case, the group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount adjacent to share of profit/(loss) of associates in the income statement. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Dilution gains and losses arising in investments in associates are recognised in the profit or loss. In the Company’s separated financial statements, investments in associates are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost is adjusted to reflect changes in consideration arising from contingent consideration amendments. Cost also includes direct attributable costs of investment. A list of the Group’s principal associates is set out in Note 13.

2.4

Foreign currency translation (a)

Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Thai Baht, which is the Company’s functional and the Company’s presentation currency.

(b)

Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the profit or loss. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. Conversely, when a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in profit and loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in profit and loss.

Cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises cash on hand, deposit held at call with banks but exclude deposits with banks that are held to maturity, certificates of deposit issued by commercial banks and financial institutions, and restricted deposits. Cash equivalents comprise short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. In the consolidated and company statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

2.6

Trade accounts receivable Trade accounts receivable are recognised initially at original invoice amount and subsequently measured at the remaining amount less any allowance for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year-end. The amount of the allowance is the differences between the carrying amount of receivable and the amount expected to be collected. Bad debts are recognised in the profit or loss within administrative expense.

2.7

Inventories Inventories are presented in the statement of financial position at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method. The cost of purchase comprises both the purchase price and costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the inventory, such as import duties and transportation charge, less all attributable discounts. The cost of finished goods and work in process : movie, drama, CD and others comprise direct production cost, making a film and other production cost. Net realisable value is the estimate of the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the cost of completion and selling expense. Allowance is made, where necessary, for obsolete, slow-moving and defective inventories.

2.8

Plant and equipment Plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and allowance for impairment of assets. Initial cost included other direct cost related to assets acquisition. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation of other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to write off the cost of each asset, to their residual value over the estimate useful lives as follows: Buildings Buildings improvements Machineries and equipment Furniture, fixtures and office equipment Motor vehicles

20 years 8 years 7 months 5 - 10 years 5 - 10 years 5 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposal of plant and equipment are calculated by comparing net proceeds from disposal of assets with assets’ carrying amount and are taken into other income and other expenses.

License for operation right in spectrum of digital television The digital television licence consists of expenditure that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the commercial digital terrestrial television license at national level for a news channel category, is measured at cash price equivalent instalments discounted to present value using a discount rate, quoted by bank, for this particular purpose less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The difference between the cash price equivalent and the total payments to be made is recognised as a financial cost over the license fee payment periods, amortised from the date that it is ready to provide service. Amortisation of digital television license is based on a straight-line basic over the estimated useful lives of years.

2.10

Intangible assets Production cost of drama and showbiz Production cost of drama and showbiz are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and allowance impairment losses (if any). During the year 2015, the Group changed the amortisation method from amortised based on projected revenues to amortised based on actual on-air times. Copyright of others Copyright of others are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses (if any). The Group amortized copyright base on straight line method over the term of relevant agreements. Copyright of musical master tape Copyright of musical master tape have indefinite useful lives. The Group does not amortised them but tests for any impairment. Computer software Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group is recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met: it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use; management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it; there is an ability to use or sell the software product; it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits; adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software product are available; and the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured. Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the software product include the software development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an intangible asset in a subsequent period. Computer software development costs recognised as intangible assets are amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which does not exceed 10 years.

Impairment of assets Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example goodwill, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

2.12

Leases - where a Group company is the leasee Finance leases The Group leases certain plants and equipment. Leases of plants or equipment where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other long-term payables. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period. The plants or equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter period of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. Operating leases Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

2.13

Borrowings Borrowings are recognised initially at the proceeds received (net of transaction costs incurred). In subsequent periods, borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective yield method. Any difference between proceeds (net transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent that there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of reporting date.

2.14

Current and deferred income taxes The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of reporting period in the countries where the company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Current and deferred income taxes (Cont’d) Deferred tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising from differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

2.15

Employee benefit obligations Group companies operate various retirement benefits schemes. The Group has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. A defined contribution plan is a retirement plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The Group pays contributions to a separate fund which is managed by an external fund manager in accordance with the provident fund Act. B.E. 2530. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available. A defined benefit plan is a retirement plan that is not a defined contribution plan. Typically defined benefit plans define an amount of retirement benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognised in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit retirement plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using market yield of high-quality government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related retirement liability. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past-service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past-service costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets carried on the statement of financial position include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other accounts receivable, short-term borrowing to a subsidiary, other current assets and other non-current assets. Financial liabilities carried on the statement of financial position include short-term borrowings from financial institutions, trade and other accounts payable, short-term borrowings from related companies, other current liabilities, liability under finance lease agreements, payable for cost of license for operation right in spectrum of digital television and employee benefit obligations. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual accounting policy statements associated with each item. The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to protect the Company from movements in exchange rates by establishing the rate at which a foreign currency liability will be settled. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are not recognised in the financial statements on inception but only when they are settled according to the contract terms.

2.17

Provisions - general Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

2.18

Share capital Ordinary shares and non-redeemable preference shares with (if any) discretionary dividends are classified as equity. Other shares including mandatory redeemable preference shares are classified as liabilities. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Where any Group company purchases the Company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’ s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transact costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

Financial risk management 3.1

Financial risk factors The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. Risk management is carried out by the finance department. The finance department identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units. The principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment excess liquidity. 3.1.1 Foreign exchange risk The principal finance risk faced by the Group are exchange rate risk as certain transactions are entered into in foreign currencies. Foreign exchange forward contracts are taken out to protect the currency risk in future purchase. However, as at 31 December 2015 and 2014, there are no outstanding foreign exchange forward contract. 3.1.2 Interest rate risk The interest rate risk is the risk that future movements in market interest rates will affect the results of the Company’s operations and its cash flows. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to its deposits with financial institutions and borrowings. The Group realised that the risk of fluctuation in the interest rate risk did not affect significantly to the Group’s cash flows. However, the management believe that the effect of interest rate fluctuation will not affect materially to the Group. 3.1.3 Credit risk The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of products and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. Derivative counterparties and cash transactions are limited to high credit quality financial institutions. 3.1.4 Liquidity risk Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business, the Group Treasury aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.

3.2

Fair value estimation When a financial instrument is traded in an active market, its quoted market price provides the best evidence of fair value. The quoted market price for an asset held or liability to be issued is usually the current bid price and, for an asset to be acquired or liability held, it is the current offer or asking price. When the current bid and offer prices are unavailable, the price of the most recent transaction may provide evidence of the current fair value provided that there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances between the transaction date and the reporting date. When the Group has matching asset and liability positions, it may appropriately use mid-market prices as a basis for establishing fair values. When there is infrequent activity in a market, the market is not well established or small volumes are traded relative to the number of trading units of a financial instrument to be valued, quoted market prices may not be indicative of the fair value of the instrument. In these circumstances, as well as when a quoted market price is not available, estimation techniques may be used to determine the fair value with sufficient reliability to satisfy the Group. Techniques that are well established in financial markets include reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models. In applying discounted cash flow analysis, an enterprise uses a discount rate equal to the prevailing market rate of interest for financial instruments having substantially the same terms and characteristics, including the creditworthiness of the debtor, the remaining term over which the contractual interest rate is fixed, the remaining term for repayment of the principal and the currency in which payments are to be made. The fair values less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements Estimates, assumptions and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are outlined below. (a)

Deferred tax Deferred tax assets come from the estimation of some temporary difference effects which is probable to utilise tax benefit. Management’s estimation comes from an assumption based on an available future income and any factors or external exposures which might affect the projected future performance. The Group also considered the utilisation of the past tax losses and assessed the estimation on a conservative basis.

(b)

Employee benefit obligations The present value of the employee benefit obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for employee benefits include the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will have an impact on the carrying amount of employee benefit obligations. The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the employee benefit obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Group considers the market yield of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related employee benefit liability. Other key assumptions for employee benefit obligations are based in part on current market conditions. Additional information is disclosed in Note 23.

(c)

License operation right in spectrum of digital television and intangible assets The initial recognised and measure of license operation right in spectrum of digital television and intangible assets and subsequent impairment testing, require management to make estimates of cash flows to be generated by the asset or the cash generating units and to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

5

Capital risk management The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Retrospective adjustment and reclassification Retrospective adjustment Deferred tax recognition During the year ended 31 December 2015, the Company corrected an error relating to the deferred tax recognition from temporary differences for employee benefit obligations, allowance for doubtful accounts (not sue but meet the criteria of write-off to bad debt in tax side). License for operation right in spectrum of digital television and allowance for slow moving. The Company corrected by applying retrospective adjustments. License for operation right in spectrum of digital television During the year ended December , the Company corrected an error relating to the Group presented digital television license at cost less accumulated amortisation and recognised digital television license payable initially at cost less attributable transaction charges. Due to the payment term of digital television license is beyond the normal credit term of National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (“NTBC�), the Group is required to compare the cost of digital television license with the cash price equivalent based on present value of instalments at the recognition date and recognise the difference between this amount and the total payments as finance costs over the period of payment term of digital television license. Therefore, the Company corrected by applying retrospective adjustment. Reclassification During the year ended 31 December 2015, the Company reclassified the comparative figures to conform to changes in presentation in current year. The effects from retrospective adjustment and reclassification to the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014 and the related consolidated and company statements of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2014 and unappropriated retain earnings as at 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2014 are summarised as follows:

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the employee benefit obligations to significant actuarial assumptions use the projected unit credit method.
