THE ECONOMIC TREND IN 2012

THE TREND OF HOUSING INDUSTRY IN 2012

The Thai economy faced the problem that curtailed its production and growth from Ŵood twice in the early and late of 2011. It was also affected by the Japanese tsunami in the early of 2011. Therefore, the production of the Thai economy in 2012 should grow from the one in 2011 both the agricultural and non-agricultural sector.

The demand for real estate of the economy will generally grow with respect to the population and economic activities. It will especially grow beyond normal when the economy grows at a higher rate. This is because consumers will have more income left over from expenditures and will also expect the future income more favourable. Then, the demand for housing will be increasing. On the other hand, the demand for commercial real estate will vary directly with economic growth.

The production of agriculture in a large part can grow from the production of new crop from the level of production which was damaged in the 4th quarter of 2011, except those perennial crops which were damaged and still cannot provide any output, but negligible. The production of non-agricultural sector lost due to the Ŵood was coming back partly since November 2011 while the other part will still be stagnant and lost in the 1st quarter of 2012, especially the foreign investment undertakings are highly enthusiastic in bringing back the lost production back. The adaptation to bring back the production will even be a lot better than the aftermath of Japanese tsunami due to the redistribution effect through out the supply chain worldwide. The production to respond to the demand for replacement of items or production capacity damaged by Ŵood will be another portion that will add to economic growth. When considering the overall production capacity of the Thai economy which is a result of the latest wave of investment during 2003-2006 the production capacity should be able to grow at a maximum of 9%. The loss of production capacity in the 1st quarter will render the gross domestic products in 2012 growing at a rate of only 6.5-7% from the low base of 2011. Despite the slow down of demand from the west European countries due to the ųnancial and ųscal crisis prolonged for quite a few years the demand from the U.S. economy remains strong and grows continuously. Figures concerning consumption and even the positive new housing starts support very well the claim above. Moreover, the growth of Germany will remain at high level due to strong exports and considered inŴuencing the European countries.

In 2012 the rate of economic growth will be expected to be high at 6.5-7%. This is the factor that will effect higher demand for housing at least in the same level as 2010 (not 2011) or approximately 100,000 units. Moreover, there will be demand from those who want to move from the suburb closer to the CBD where it was not Ŵooded in 2011. The supply of housing so far has not shown any sign of unusually excessive stock in the market as shown in ųgure 1. The forecast ųgure above is therefore possible. In 2012 the composition of different types of housing will change towards high rise housing in a larger proportion due to the Ŵood in 2011. In the past, there has been response of housing project to new transportation routes either already built, under construction, or just planned. Low rise housing responded to the southern section and the lower eastern section of the ring road. High rise housing, on the other hand, responded to mass rapid transit along the purple route and the extended section of BTS. However, there are still large portion without any response and there is a possibility of projects coming up in those areas at the same time as the response to the Ŵood problem. Nevertheless, the tendency above will be only temporary phenomenon speciųc to 2012 when the bad memory still remaining. The proportion of high rise housing will never go back to the same as before unless the government has some new transportation routes which will make signiųcant difference, especially express way. Therefore, the government has a chance to stimulate the economy a lot just by initiating project or starting new construction. At the same time the private sector also has a high potential not less than the government in stimulating the economy by launching project along new transportation to respond to the consumers’ need of getting away from Ŵood. The Ŵood problem alone is not a very good stimulant to the demand for housing because many consumers have decreased savings as a result of expenses for repairing their damaged housing. The economic growth as a result of the private sector’s attempt to use its production capacity to the fullest extent possible will be the real factor behind the increased demand for housing. Besides the new area along mass rapid transit routes there are still many areas in the inner CBD with potential to develop new housing projects. In the past, developers emphasized on developing projects

concentrating along mass rapid transit routes in the CBD and competing with each other, which is quite irrational when viewed from the spatial demand view point. There are areas to choose that are convenient as well as paying less. Why scramble? The low rise housing in many popular areas also possessing the same nature as high rise housing. For example, the access to the main transportation routes is very far, inconvenient and taking a long time to reach but carrying high prices. In those cases either the developers or consumers do not pay attention to any other better locations. The behavior of developers and consumers above might lead to a conclusion that the behavior of both parties possesses the characteristic of market failure due to imperfect information in economic sense when assuming that both parties are rational. We can just hope that both developers and consumers will be more conscious in judging new locations for housing development in order that the economy will work more ef킬ciently.

Despite the Ŵooding in the 4th quarter of 2011, the revenue from sales of real estate of the Company and its subsidiaries increased from the previous year by 15% and earnings before tax increased by 5% from the previous year, but net proųt decreased 1% due to the impact of early adopting TAS no.12 before effective date since 2011 at the corporate income tax rate of 30%, but then the cabinet passed a resolution to reduce the corporate income tax rate to 23 percent in 2012, and then to 20 percent from 2013. Details are as followed. 1. Earnings before tax was Baht 3,990.89 million or an increase of Baht 200.22 million or 5% from the previous year, but net proųt decreased 1%. Mainly due to the fact that the Company and its subsidiaries had selected to early adopt accounting policy to comply with the TAS no.12 since ųrst quarter of 2011, but then in October 2011 the cabinet passed a resolution to reduce the corporate income tax rate from 30 percent to 23 percent in 2012, and then to 20 percent from 2013 onwards. In order to comply with the resolution of the cabinet, in December 2011,

Annual Report 2011 SUPALAI PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED

the decreases in tax rates for 2012 - 2014 were enacted through a royal decree. The Company reŴected the changes in tax rates in its deferred tax calculation in the income statements. Such changes result in corporate income tax expense increased by Baht103.62 million, to comply with accounting standards. 2. The revenue from sales of real estate in the amount of Baht 12,465.73 million or an increase of Baht 1,581.08 million or 15% from the previous year, divided into the revenue of 64% from the transfer of ownership of condominiums and the remaining 36% was from the transfer of ownership of detached houses and townhouses. The total revenues has, therefore, increased from Baht 11,183.53 million of the same period last year to Baht 12,808.93 million or an increase of Baht 1,625.40 million or 15%. 3. Selling and administrative expenses increasing from Baht 990.83 million of the previous year to Baht 1,352.53 million. The reason was the expiration of tax incentives (Speciųc business tax and transfer fee) that ended during the year 2010. 4. Net gearing ratio decreased from 42% as at 31 December 2010 to 40% as at 31 December 2011 due to continuous transfer of ownership, resulting in high liquidity for the Company and its subsidiaries. As of 31 December 2011, the Company has house and/or condominium backlog of Baht 22,046 million. The Company expects to transfer additional Baht 7,761 million of these backlogs in 2012, and Baht 14,285 million over the next 3 years. The backlog means total value of house and/or condominium sold but awaiting to be transferred, then the Company could recognize the revenue according to the Thai Accounting Standard, recognizing in full when ownership is transferred.

2. Change in accounting policy. Since the ųrst quarter of 2011 onward, the interim ųnancial statements are prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as were used for the ųnancial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, except for the changes in the following accounting policies due to the adoption of revised and new accounting standards, issued by the Federation of Accounting Professions. 2.1 TAS 12 Income Taxes (Early adoption) This accounting standard requires an entity to identify temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statement of ųnancial position and its tax base in order to recognize the tax effects as deferred tax assets or liabilities subjecting to certain recognition criteria. This accounting standard is effective for ųnancial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013. 2.2 TAS 19 Employee Beneųts This accounting standard requires employee beneųts to be recognized as expense in the period in which the service is performed by the employee. In particular, an entity has to evaluate and make Annual Report 2011 SUPALAI PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY a provision for post-employment beneųts using actuarial techniques. The Company and its subsidiaries previously accounted for such employee beneųts when they were incurred. The Company and its subsidiaries have selected to adopt income tax and employee beneųt in the current year and restated the prior year’s ųnancial statements, presented for comparative purposes, as though the Company and its subsidiaries initially recognized the tax effects as deferred tax assets or liabilities and recognize the liability in the transition period retrospectively as though the Company and its subsidiaries initially recorded these employee beneųt expenses. The change has the effect of decreasing the proųt of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year 2011 as follows. (Unit : Million Baht) For the year ended 31 December 2011 Consolidated ųnancial Separate ųnancial statement statement Increase (Decrease) Increase (Decrease) Net Proųt (99) (83) Basic earnings per share (Baht) (0.05) (0.05) 2.3 TAS 40 (revised 2009) Investment Property This accounting standard requires entities to choose to recognize investment property either under the cost model (with disclosure of fair value in the notes to ųnancial statements) or the fair value model, whereby changes in fair value are to be recognized in proųt or loss. Investment property was previously recognized under the caption of Property, Plant and Equipment, and Land held for development, which is measured using the cost model. In adopting the new accounting policy, the Company and its subsidiaries separately present investment property, which is measured using the cost model.

From what mentioned above, it can be considered as another success of the Company. Over the past 20 years, in time of economic crisis, there was no need for the Company to enter into the rehabilitation plan. In time of good economic condition, the Company’s results of operations were outstanding, which could be seen from its higher than average sales or recognized income, which is a proof of being a company with vision. 5.8 ConŴict of Interest It is the Company’s policy not to allow its directors, executives and employees to utilize information available from their positions for personal gains.

The meeting must also be attended by the Audit Committee to ensure that the connected transactions are conducted fairly, reasonably, and with proper pricing policy, taking into consideration the maximum beneųt of the Company. According to Section 89/12 of the Securities and Exchange Act (No. 4) B.E. 2551 (2008), “Executive Directors or other related persons can carry out the transactions with a company or its subsidiaries only when such transaction has been authorized by the meeting of shareholders except when the transaction is a trading agreement in the manner any person of ordinary prudence shall conduct with their business partner under Annual Report 2011 SUPALAI PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED

Subsequently, the Board of Directors of the Company was of the opinion that the trading transactions between each other may increase and exceed the requirements of the meeting, and that such trading items would not have impact on the performance of duties of Mr. Prakit Pradipasen in the position of independent Board member and Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Company pursuant to Section 89/7 and Section 281/2 of the Securities and Exchange Act (No. 4) B.E. 2551 (2008). The reasons are as follows: 1) The trading items purchased by the Company and its subsidiaries from Diamond Building Products Plc. have no signiųcant impact on the amount of income of Diamond Building Products Plc. 2) The prices of goods, conditions for payment and other trading conditions of the transactions between Diamond Building Products Plc. and the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries have been carried out in the same manner as those with other customers of Diamond Building Products Plc. 3) The procurement of the Company has been made with transparent process; the prices and quality have been compared without being subject to the inŴuence of Mr. Prakit Pradipasen. The Board of Directors therefore resolved unanimously to appoint Mr. Prakit Pradipasen to continue to be independent Board member and Chairman of the Audit Committee. 5.9 Management Philosophy For a quality society of “Supalai People”, the Company stands ųrm in creating quality residence, incessant product development, society development for safety, development of professional good service, for Customers’ maximum satisfaction, by adhering to the management philosophy; 90

Adoption of new accounting standards during the year During the current year, the Company and its subsidiaries adopted a number of revised and new accounting standards, issued by the Federation of Accounting Professions, as listed below. Accounting standards: TAS 1 (revised 2009) TAS 2 (revised 2009) TAS 7 (revised 2009) TAS 8 (revised 2009) TAS 10 (revised 2009) TAS 11 (revised 2009) TAS 12 TAS 16 (revised 2009) TAS 17 (revised 2009) TAS 18 (revised 2009) TAS 19 TAS 23 (revised 2009)

However, the Company and its subsidiaries had selected to adopt this accounting policy in the current year and restated the prior year’s ųnancial statements, presented for comparative purposes, as though the Company and its subsidiaries had initially recognised the tax effects as deferred tax assets or liabilities. The change has the effect of decreasing the proųt of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year 2011 by Baht 94 million, (0.05 Baht per share) (Separate ųnancial statements: decreasing proųt by Baht 79 million, or 0.05 Baht per share). The cumulative effect of the changes in the accounting policy has been presented in Note 5 to the ųnancial statements.

TAS 19 Employee Beneųts This accounting standard requires employee beneųts to be recognised as expense in the period in which the service is performed by the employee. In particular, an entity has to evaluate and make a provision for post-employment beneųts using actuarial techniques. The Company and its subsidiaries previously accounted for such employee beneųts when they were incurred. The Company and its subsidiaries have changed this accounting policy in the current year and recognise the liability in the transition period retrospectively as though the Company and its subsidiaries initially recorded these employee beneųt expenses. The change has the effect of decreasing the proųt of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year 2011 by Baht 5 million, immaterial to earnings per share (Separate ųnancial statements: decreasing proųt by Baht 4 million, immaterial to earning per share). The cumulative effect of the changes in the accounting policy has been presented in Note 5 to the ųnancial statements.

TAS 40 (revised 2009) Investment Property This accounting standard requires entities to choose to recognise investment property either under the cost model (with disclosure of fair value in the notes to ųnancial statements) or the fair value model, whereby changes in fair value are to be recognised in proųt or loss. Investment property was previously recognised under the caption of Property, building and equipment, and Land held for development, which are measured using the cost model. In adopting the new accounting policy, the Company and its subsidiaries separately present Investment property and measure it using the cost model. The cumulative effect of the changes in the accounting policy has been presented in Note 5 to the ųnancial statements.

These accounting standards do not have any signiųcant impact on the ųnancial statements, except for the following accounting standards.

TAS 12 Income Taxes (Early adopted before effective date) This accounting standard requires an entity to identify temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statement of ųnancial position and its tax base in order to recognise the tax effects as deferred tax asset or liabilities subjecting to certain recognition criteria. This accounting standard is effective for ųnancial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

Signiųcant accounting policies

6.1 Revenue recognition a) Revenue from sales of real estate Revenues from sales of land, land and houses and condominium units are recognised in full when ownership is transferred. Sales are thus recognised as revenue in full when the construction works are completed and the ownership has been transferred to buyers after all payments have been received from the buyers. b) Revenue from rental and services Rental income is recognised as revenue over the period of the lease.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 interest rate. e) Dividends Dividends are recognised when the right to receive the dividends is established. 6.2 Cost of real estate sales In determining the costs of land, land and houses and condominium units sold, the total development costs are attributed to units sold on the basis of the salable area. Property development projects for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises cost of land, design fees, utilities, construction costs, and directly related ųnance cost and expenses. The Company and its subsidiaries recognise loss on diminution in project value (if any) in the income statements. 6.3 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand and at banks, and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and not subject to withdrawal restrictions. 6.4 Trade and other receivable Trade and other 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 debt aging. 6.5 Investments a) Investments in unit trusts are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value of these securities are recorded as a separate item in shareholders’ equity, and will be recorded as gains or losses in the income statement when the securities are sold.

126

Annual Report 2011 SUPALAI PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED

The fair value of unit trusts is determined from their net asset value. b) Investments in non-marketable equity securities, which the Company classiųes as other investments, are stated at cost net of allowance for impairment loss (if any). c) Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for in the separate ųnancial statements using the cost method net of allowance for impairment loss (if any). The weighted average method is used for computation of the cost of investments. 6.6 Investment properties Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to the initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and allowance for loss on impairment (if any). Depreciation of investment properties is calculated by reference to their costs on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 5, 20 and 30 years. Depreciation of the investment properties is included in proųt or loss. On disposal of investment properties, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in proųt or loss in the period when the asset is derecognised. 6.7 Property, building and equipment / Depreciation Land is stated at cost. Buildings and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and allowance for loss on impairment of assets (if any).

years years years years years

Depreciation is included in proųt or loss. No depreciation is provided on land and land improvements and project under construction. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic beneųts are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of an asset is included in proųt or loss when the asset is derecognised. Annual Report 2011 SUPALAI PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED

127


6.8 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. 6.9 Computer software Acquired computer software is initially recognised at cost. Following the initial recognition, computer software is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses (if any). Computer software with ųnite live is amortised on a systematic basis over the economic useful live of 10 years and tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method of such computer software are reviewed at least at each ųnancial year end. The amortisation expense is charged to proųt or loss. 6.10 Related party transactions Related parties comprise enterprises and individuals that control, or are controlled by, the Company and its subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly, or which are under common control with the Company and its subsidiaries. They also include associated companies and individuals which directly or indirectly own a voting interest in the Company and its subsidiaries that gives them signiųcant inŴuence over the Company and its subsidiaries, key management personnel, directors and ofųcers with authority in the planning and direction of the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. 6.11 Impairment of assets At the end of each reporting period, the Company and its subsidiaries performs impairment reviews in respect of the property, building and equipment and other assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognised when the recoverable amount of an asset, which is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, is less than the carrying amount. An impairment loss and a reversal of allowance for impairment loss are recognised in proųt or loss. 6.12 Employee beneųts Short-term employee beneųts Salaries, wages, bonuses and contributions to the social security fund are recognised as expenses when incurred.

128

Annual Report 2011 SUPALAI PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED

Post-employment beneųts Deųned contribution plans The Company and its employees have jointly established a provident fund. The fund is monthly contributed by employees and by the Company. The fund’s assets are held in a separate trust fund and the Company’s contributions are recognised as expenses when incurred. Deųned beneųt plans The Company and its subsidiaries have obligations in respect of the severance payments it must make to employees upon retirement under labor law. The Company and its subsidiaries treat these severance payment obligations as a deųned beneųt plan. The obligation under the deųned beneųt plan is determined by a professionally qualiųed independent actuary based on actuarial techniques, using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses arising from post-employment beneųts are recognised immediately in proųt or loss. For the ųrst-time adoption of TAS 19 Employee Beneųts, the Company and its subsidiaries elected to recognise the transitional liability, which exceeds the liability that would have been recognised at the same date under the previous accounting policy, retrospectively as though the Company and its subsidiaries initially recorded these employee beneųt expenses. 6.13 Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company and its subsidiaries have a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outŴow of resources embodying economic beneųts will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 6.14 Income tax Income tax expense represents the sum of corporate income tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current tax Current income tax is provided in the accounts at the amount expected to be paid to the taxation authorities, based on taxable proųts determined in accordance with tax legislation. Deferred tax Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts at the end of each reporting period, using the tax rates enacted at the end of the reporting period. The Company and its subsidiaries recognises deferred tax liabilities for all taxable temporary differences while they recognises deferred tax assets for all deductible temporary differences and tax losses they carried forward to the extent that it is probable that future taxable proųt will be available against which such deductible temporary differences and tax losses carried forward can be utilised. Annual Report 2011 SUPALAI PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED

129


At each reporting date, the Company and its subsidiaries review and reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufųcient taxable proųt will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.

Post-employment beneųts under deųned beneųt plans The obligation under the deųned beneųt plan is determined based on actuarial techniques. Such determination is made based on various assumptions, including discount rate, future salary increase rate, mortality rate and staff turnover rate.

The Company and its subsidiaries record deferred tax directly to shareholders’ equity if the tax relates to items that are recorded directly to shareholders’ equity.

7.

130

Litigation The Company has contingent liabilities as a result of litigation. The Company’s management has used judgment to assess of the results of the litigation and has set aside provision for liabilities arising as a result of these cases, based on the opinion of its legal department.

Signiųcant accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of ųnancial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles at times requires management to make subjective judgments and estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments and estimates affect reported amounts and disclosures and actual results could differ. Signiųcant judgments and estimates are as follows: Allowance for loss on diminution in costs of property development project for sales and investment properties The Company and its subsidiaries treat costs of property development project for sales and investment properties as impaired when the management judges that there has been a signiųcant or prolonged decline in their fair value below their costs. The management uses judgment to estimate project impairment based on the appraisal report from an independent appraiser. Impairment loss of investments The Company and its subsidiaries treat investments in subsidiaries in the separate ųnancial statements, available-for-sale investments and other investments as impaired when the management judges that there has been a signiųcant or prolonged decline in the fair value below their cost or where other objective evidence of impairment exists. The determination of what is “signiųcant” or “prolonged” requires judgment. Property plant and equipment/Depreciation In determining depreciation of building and equipment, the management of the Company and its subsidiaries are required to make estimates of the useful lives and residual values of the building and equipment and to review estimate useful lives and residual values when there are any changes. In addition, the management is required to review property, plant and equipment for impairment on a periodical basis and record impairment losses when it is determined that their recoverable amount is lower than the carrying cost. This requires judgments regarding forecast of future revenues and expenses relating to the assets subject to the review. Classiųcation of long-term loans In classifying the current portion of long-term loans from banks, the management of the Company and its subsidiaries has used judgement to estimate collateral redemptions and loan settlement in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated in the loan agreements. Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised in respect of temporary differences only to the extent that it is probable that taxable proųt will be available against which these differences can be utilised. Signiųcant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of estimate future proųts.

27.3 Litigation a) The Company has been sued for a total of approximately Baht 123 million in various cases, in respect of breach of contract, cancellation of contract, refund claims and damage claims. Most of the cases are currently being heard by the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court. The Company has set aside provision of Baht 41 million for liabilities arising as a result of these cases, based on the opinions of theirs legal department. b) During 2006, the Company entered into a Baht 550 million contract to purchase and to sell land with a company and paid a deposit amounting to Baht 50 million to that company for the purchase. Subsequently, the Company learned that some parts of the land are in an area earmarked for expressway construction, and as a result of the loss of this area the Company would be unable to develop the land as planned. The Company therefore cancelled the contract and requested the refund of the deposit and payment of damages. During 2007, the seller sued the Company for breach of contract and to compel the Company to accept the transfer of land ownership and pay a total of Baht 500 million plus damages. However, the Company took steps to countersued for refund deposit and damages. During 2008, the Civil Court ruled that the seller could not compel the Company to accept the transfer of the title to the land and to pay the remaining sum to purchase the land, and the Company could not be entitled to ask for the return of the deposit. Therefore, the Company recorded impairment loss on deposit for purchase of land amounting to Baht 50 million. However, the Company is appealing the Court’s decision, and it is currently being heard by the Appeals Court.

Credit risk The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to credit risk primarily with respect to trade accounts 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 ųnancial 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 as stated in the statement of ųnancial position. Interest rate risk Since most of the Company and its subsidiaries’ ųnancial assets and liabilities bear Ŵoating interest rates or ųxed interest rates which are close to the market rate, the interest rate risk is expected to be minimal.
