Message from the Chairman
The Thai economy has slowed down somewhat, especially in the 4thquarter of 2008, which arose from the negative factors of the world economy downturn as well as the financial institution crisis and the liquidity problems abroad owing to the fluctuations of the world financial crisis. This readily caused capital funds to have gone out from the stocks market partially and also caused foreign investors to have taken back their money. The political unrest which occurred in October 2008 and continued right through to the first 10 months of 2009 caused the Thai economy to have shrunk to its lowest level in February, before gradually adjusted to a better direction in October and the following months. Money from the Government’s economic package stimulus program actually yielded good results towards industrial production, exports, and spending. Public spending confidence seemed to be on the positive side as a result. This includes the real estate stimulation measures designed to assist consumers and real estate operators alike, such as a transfer of residence within 31st December 2009 was entitled to income tax deduction allowances at Baht 300,000, a reduction of specific business tax from 3.3 percent to 0.1 percent, and a reduction of transfer fee from 2 percent to 0.01 percent until 28th March 2010. The above-said measures have sent positive results to the real estate operators, the buyers of residences for own use or for investment, the employment, and related businesses, quite extensively. The 622 units “U Delight @ Bangsue Station� Project on Prachachuen Road, the first project under the development of our subsidiary company, namely Grand Unity Development Co.,Ltd has received good response beyond expectations, be it the design, the location, the affordable prices, and the ability to transfer to customers in time for income tax deduction allowances of Baht 300,000 within 31st December 2009. As for the Park Ventures Project on Ploenchit - Wireless Road Intersection, which is an office building and hotel project, much of the construction has progressed. Besides the growth of our business which tends to be on the right track, I, in the capacity of Chairman, jointly with directors and executives, have made all of our efforts in pushing the company to have a continued improvement from 2008 on the aspect of supervision of Thai listed companies, it is quite delightful that our company obtained a very good mark in 2009 of 89 percent compared to 83 percent in 2008. May I take this opportunity to thank our customers and shareholders who have all given excellent supports to the Company throughout. I also wish to express my heartfelt thanks to the directors, the executives, and all staff who are committed and dedicated to hard working to the best of their ability for the sake of our organization and who have jointly helped administer this organization to be a good governance listed company. 4

Message from the President
The impacts from the financial institution crisis which caused the world’s economy to slow down since the 4th quarter of 2008 right through to 2009 have affected the movements of capital funds, liquidity, and investment confidence, as well as spending of the institution and the household sectors. The industrial sector which was affected from the said crisis and which sent an impact to the incomes and profits of the Univentures Public Company Limited is the automobile industrial group, whereby the orders for purchase of motor cars and accessories from abroad seemed to have shrunk considerably, thereby causing the car tire manufacturers, who are major customers of zinc oxide business of the joint company, namely Thai Lysate Co.,Ltd to have been affected unavoidably. As the purchase orders were cancelled, the factories had to reduce the production capacity in the 1st quarter by almost 40 percent. The company then needed to adjust its strategies in finding customers in other industrial sectors so as to compensate its lost incomes. In the 2nd quarter to the 4th quarter of 2009 however, purchase orders started to bounce back, but the gross earnings could not still meet the estimated figures, due to the rapid increase of raw materials price, namely zinc ingot, from US 1,379 dollars in April to US 2,376 dollars in December 2009. Considering the basic factors, the price of zinc ingot should not have been increased so quickly, because the world’s economy has not yet clearly recovered, and the demand of the zinc around the world should not have been this high to an extent that affected the increase of such a high price at a relatively short period of time. From my message in 2007, I did inform the shareholders that we were beginning to make investment in the real estate projects of residential buildings, that is to say, the incomes would be realised in 2009 from the U Sabai Project at Rama IV at the value of Baht 450 Million, and from U Delight @ Bangsue Station at the value of Baht 1,000 Million. Because the operations of zinc oxide business were affected by the world’s economy downturn, thus, the results of operations yielded incomes lower than what we had expected, and, therefore, could not support the income base of the company according to our plans, therefore incomes therefrom cannot yet be realized. We then had to accelerate the construction of U Delight @ Bangsue Station Project so that partial incomes could be realised in 2009, which is some 3 months quicker than that planned, and this also is favourable to the customers as they could exercise the right of income tax allowances of Baht 300,000, which expired on 31st December 2009. In the past 2009, our joint company, Grand Unity Development Co., Ltd. has opened the U Delight @ Huaykwang Station Condominium Project totalling 597 units valued at Baht 1,200 million, with the average selling price of Baht 53,000 per square metre, with ranges of spaces of 32-64 square metres, and the U Delight @ Jatujak Station, totalling 920 units and valued at Baht 1,800 million, with the average selling price of Baht 57,000 per square metre, and of space ranges of 32-64 square metres,

Message from the President which received great response from the customers beyond our expectations, as the designs and the suitable prices of “U Delight Concept” appear to have met the requirements of the target group who are mostly new generation people starting to get to work and people who like the luxury of easy travelling by BTS or MRT which are not so far from the Project. As for the office building real estate project, namely Park Ventures Project, which is valued at Baht 5,000 million on Ploenchit – Wireless Road Intersection, the construction has reached the 4th floor, and in the part of the hotel of 23rd-33rd floors, which will be leased out under the TCC Luxury Hotel and Resort Co., Ltd., the work is now under interior design so as to make it a 5-star hotel. For the work plan in 2010, we shall attach importance to the development of Park Ventures Project, U Delight @ Huaykwang Station and U Delight @ Jatujak Station ,all 3 of which are expected to be gradually completed towards the end of 2011 onwards. The incomes expected to gain in 2010 would come from the sale and the transfer of the remaining units of U Delight @ Bangsue Station Condominium Project at the value of Baht 920 million, and the income from the zinc oxide business whichis expected to bringin some 15,000 tons of sales, or approximately Baht 1,000 million. Last but not least, I, The Management, and all of the staff of the Univentures Public Company Limited and its subsidiary companies, wish to express our sincere thanks to the customers, the shareholders, and all of our business allies who have placed their trust and rendered good cooperation to the Company throughout. The Management and all staff are committed and determined to jointly performing our duties transparently in order to make this organization prosper and to create the best returns possible to all of our shareholders.

Risk from Domestic and World Economy The political factors and the economic situation in the country in 2009 still sent some impacts onto the confidence of the investors and the consumers alike, not to mention that the fluctuations of the oil prices and the problems of economic crisis around the world since 2008 still remained continuously. Besides, towards the end of 2009, mega-investment businesses in the Marp Ta Phud Industrial Estate had to be slowed down owing to environmental law. Also, the money under the government investment policy could not yet be disbursed according to the planned targets. As such, the demand on construction materials was on the decrease. The macro factor above-said readily caused investment businesses in the property sector to have been slowed down in some ways, for example, demand on office building leasing by target customer group of foreign firms still showed no sign of improvement. Nevertheless, such a problem did not send impacts on to the Park Ventures Project of the company. This is because the construction of the said Project has yet to be completed, and it will only be open for lease towards the end of 2011. In the part of the development of real estate project development of residential building, there were new real estate project investors at an increased rate from that of 2008, mainly because of a boost by the government sector, such as entitlement of tax privileges if being a development project according to the criteria of the Board of Investment (BOI), or exemption and reduction of tax for customers who could transfer residences within 2009, which yielded tremendous results to the sales of residential buildings the construction of which were completed within such period. However, the political and the economic risks were a great concern to the financial institutions, so much so that they became quite strict in considering granting credit extensions to real estate projects and buyers. Hence, our policy still attaches importance on careful investments, by choosing to develop well-designed projects at locations which meet the requirements and the base of customers, and also stresses on the quick development of projects so that they be completed as soon as possible, including rendering some assistance to customers in regard to coordination with financial institution in seeking credit approval, so as to prevent risks when the time comes for condominium rooms transfer. 2. Risk from Competition In 2009, real estate operators, especially in residential condominium development business, opened many new projects, particularly those located along the BTS extension lines or new MRT lines already approved by the government, which readily caused fiercer competition. As for the policy on investment of the company in such a business, we try to select locations which are not too far away from communities or BTS lines. This yields an advantage that the land prices and the marketing costs of our company are not as high as those of others whose projects are located right along the BTS lines. Moreover, our selling prices and the installments have been designed to suit our target customer base whose demand on residence is quite high. Besides, we still emphasises on developing projects that are of lifestyle that will suit well with our customers’, by ensuring that the construction of such projects must be completed and can be transferred faster than our competitors.

Risk Factors 3. Risk on Costs of Project Development At the time the economy had been on the decline greatly in the first half of the year, price competitions among construction contractors were also very severe. Moreover, the prices of construction materials, such as steel, cement, mirror, aluminium, were on the downturn heavily when compared to those during normal situation. Certain construction producers decided to reduce their product prices in order to survive the difficult period. This actually was a good opportunity for the company in selecting quality contractors and quality materials at suitable prices. In the end, we could purchase construction materials and hire contractors at the costs lower than that estimated by 10 percent. 4. Risk from Project Contractors As mentioned above that price competitions among contractors and sellers of construction materials were so severe in 2009, such a scenario then seriously affected the contractors. We therefore put emphasis on careful selection of contractors, whereby we had checked the capabilities and the technical potentials as well as financial standing of the contractors, including their reliability in the business, which is quite important in choosing a contractor. 5. Risk from Credit Extension by Financial Institutions The economic crisis which occurred during 2008 – 2009 caused the financial institutions to become stricter in granting project loans and personal loans, particularly in the part of borrowers for buying real estate property, where the financial institutions seemed to be so careful, as in the past there were a lot of people who bought real estate property just for speculation. As such, when the time for transfer of condominium rooms came, there was a risk that financial institutions might not approve the loan for some customers. In such a situation, the developers must take the rooms back for resale, costing them some business opportunity. We are well aware of this risk. Therefore, we had set up special measures where by we coordinated with financial institutions since the period of reservation of our condominium projects, and we did check the customers’ credit so as to reduce risks of them being denied loan approval when the transfer time arrived. We also made certain coordination with the customers and the financial institutions very closely during the period of condominium room transfer, so as to render assistance in term of data concerned until the customers could obtain the loan approval by the said financial institutions.

Risk Factors Impacts from Zinc Oxide Powder Manufacturing Business: 1. Risk from Raw Material Price Whereas the price of main raw material of zinc oxide powder manufacturing, namely zinc ingot, is fixed by the world market price called the London Metal Exchange (LME) price, which appears to be fluctuating all the times and is normally traded in United States Dollar, thus, there is a risk of rate of exchange which of course varies on each day of trading. Besides, there is also a risk from speculation of investors and the overall picture of the world economy as well. Having learnt of such factor, the company therefore has operated this business with great care and has readily mapped out a management plan to reduce probable risk, by monitoring the situations closely and analyzing the circumstances which are factors of both inside and outside the country. After that, information will be gathered for designating a suitable policy and planning in buying raw materials so that it be in conformity with the demand and the selling price of each customer in order to maintain the rate of profit duly fixed by the company. It should be noted that the company has adjusted the price of raw material by applying the mark-to-market method in order to reflect its market value, by using the average 30-day price after the closing of accounting period. By applying this method, it makes the company to reduce risks on raw material price should there be a fluctuation. 2. Risk from Price Competition As the world economy had retracted and slowed down in 2008, the productions in various industries, especially motorcar tire industry, have been continuously affected, during the 1st and the 2nd quarters. This caused the purchasing demand of the buyers to have not yet recovered from 2008, which readily led to a fiercer competition than the year before, because our competitors applied the selling price strategy in place of quality strategy. Still, in the 3rd quarter of 2009, the economy in the country as a whole began to show signs of improvement gradually, resulting in various industries to have increased their purchases when compared to those in the 1st and the 2nd quarters. This of course resulted in the company having gained market share higher than that of the previous year. If we compare the prices of zinc ingot used in producing zinc oxide in January 2009 and January 2010, which are of the same period, the reference average price used in the trading in 2010 appears to be reduced by 51 percent. Therefore, the company has a policy to reduce the risk by managing the costs of goods and by applying the price strategies, so as to maintain its market share and to attract new customers, so that it may compete with its competitors while the quality of its products remain unchanged.
20
Risk Factors 3. Risk from Oil Prices in World Market The downturn world’s economy towards the end of 2008 resulted in the oil prices having declined in the 1st quarter, which was in line with the decreasing demand. It however began to increase in the 2nd quarter according to the increasing demand, owing to the Asian/European and the United States of America’s economy started to pick up some ground. In the production year of 2009, the company had oil expenses at about 47 percent of the expenses on production, a reduction by 8 percent when compared to that of 2008. The oil used in the production was around 55 percent of the production expenses. Despite the reduction, the oil prices are still a significant variable in the production and seem to be on the rise continuously according to the demand of the improving world’s economy, which of course leads to increasing demand. However, though oil is a factor that may affect the costs of production, the company was still able to save its oil consumption by having reduced such by 0.8 percent of the target figure. The company also placed importance on the production process, the increase of equipment maintenance efficiency, the increase of transport efficiency through effective management of transportation routes and/or hiring efficient transport contractors to do the job at a suitable price. This readily caused the total costs of production not to exceed the target set by the company. 4. Risk from Acquirement of Raw Material Sources As the production of zinc oxide uses the raw material which is 99.995% special high grade zinc ingot at 80 percent, therefore an acquirement of the raw material sources is an extremely important factor. By applying strategy of acquiring raw material sources, the company would take into account an acquirement of quality raw materials sources, including fixing of buying price, price negotiation, so as to obtain costs which were in conformity with, and which were related to, the selling price under the estimation of the initial profits so fixed. Also, whereas the quantity of stocks and the supplying of the raw material in time for the production plan are important, and relying on one single raw material source in the country may put the company at risk, the company therefore sets out a policy of buying the raw material from abroad additionally,so as to manage the said risk. This enables the company to have more alternatives in buying raw materials. 5. Risk on Rate of Exchange For the main raw material used in the production, the trading price will be fixed by referring to the London Metal Exchange price in England, which is normally fixed in United States Dollars, whereby it will be converted into Baht as computed by using the rate of exchange on the date of buying. As such, the company may encounter a risk in fixing the costs of production if the Baht fluctuates. Whenever the Baht weakens, it will definitely send impacts to the operation costs. Therefore, the company adopted a measure to prevent such a risk by making a forward contract in an effort to reduce a risk from the Baht fluctuation.

Risk Factors Impacts from Energy Investment Business: 1. Risk on Technology and Warranty of Energy Saving Energy management business is an operation of business by applying new inventions from abroad for the design of work systems so as to save energy for various businesses, with warranty of minimum energy saving for the project operators throughout the project period. And if such projects can not save the energy owing to technology shortcomings, the company will be responsible for making minimum energy saving payment to the business operators. However, Excellent Energy International Co., Ltd. has had experiences and expertise in engineering and development of energy saving projects for more than 10 years, and it always attaches importance to the selection of efficient technology which is suitable for businesses of operators. In the past this company has met with considerable successes. Besides, in hiring contractors and purchasing machinery and equipment, Excellent Energy International Co., Ltd. has placed importance on reliable sellers who have offered warranty conditions of the machinery, including machinery breakdown insurance, so as to obtain the end results according to the system design. 2. Risk from Business of Joint Project Developers In proceeding with the energy saving project where the company makes investment and jointly develops projects via ESCO Ventures Co., Ltd., it has to rely on the operators who are joint project developers. Therefore, the business position of the joint project developers is an important factor that makes the project meet with success and yield returns as expected by the company. This is why the company has given special importance to its selection of joint project developers who must have strong business foundation, by making a joint consideration in this respect with the credit departments of various commercial banks, whereby such a joint project developer must regularly have cash flow from its operations and must have a potential of sustainable business operations. In 2007, ESCO Ventures Co., Ltd. made a joint investment in Sahasinwattana Cogeneration Co., Ltd. at the ratio of 20 percent so as to construct 1.7 megawatts power plant for distribution of electricity and steam to finished tapioca factory at a value of Baht 160 million, with FE Clean Fund from Singapore as the major shareholder and the Export and Import Bank of Thailand (EXIM Bank) as the financial institution granting credits facilities to the project, and the project has already passed the technical feasibility and financial analysis. However, the said project is facing some problems because the operators failed to comply with the agreements made in the contract, which is a risk that the company could not have possibly assessed in the beginning. Nevertheless, the risk that may occur from energy investment business is at a pretty low level, as the investment money in such business amounts to only a small portion of investment of the company.
22
Risk Factors Impacts from Business of Time Recorder and Car Park Control Equipment: 1. Risk from Price Competition Whereas the time recorders and the car park control system equipment which the company has imported from Japan, Europe and the United States of America can be produced in the Asian region, especially in China and Taiwan, where the costs of production are much lower, thereby making many domestic traders to choose to import such products for sale in Thailand to meet the demand of the medium and low-end markets which seem to be quite sensitive to prices, while the products are of similar technology. This readily affected the growth of income of the company and forced us to find products of new technology to compete in the market. As such, from 2008 onwards, the company has introduced new products into the market, with an aim to avoid price competition and at the same time creating the difference, by putting emphasis on the quality of goods and the after-sale services. 2. Risk on Technology Main goods which are being marketed at present by the company appear to face with competition in regard to technology development considerably and continuously, thereby causing our products to be out-of-date so quickly. Therefore, the company must develop the products continuously so as to create goods which are modern in line with the changing technology and which meet the requirements of domestic customers continuously. 3. Risk from Economic and Political Situations Because the goods sold by the company presently still rely on the real estate business mainly, particularly car park control system equipment and car entrance and exit control system, which, in early 2009, the property sector was still affected continuously, but beginning to show signs of improvement by the end of the year, this caused the company to have been affected by the economic and political situation partially. Thus, the company must expand its customer base to business in its allied group and in other groups. 4. Risk on Rate of Exchange Whereas the company must import the time recorders and car park control system equipment from abroad and the costs are in United States Dollars and Japanese Yen, thus, if there is a fluctuation of the Baht, for example, when the Baht weakens, it will affect the costs of operations of the company directly. To this end, the company has adopted a risk preventive measure, whereby it will conclude forward contracts for the goods imported from abroad, in order to reduce risks from the fluctuation of the Baht.

Audit Report of Certifififfiied Public Accountant To the Shareholders of Univentures Public Company Limited I have audited the accompanying consolidated and separate balance sheets as at 31 December 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended of Univentures Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries, and of Univentures Public Company Limited, respectively. The Company’s management is responsible for the correctness and completeness of information presented in these financial statements. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits. 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 provide a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, the consolidated and separate financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions as at 31 December 2009 and 2008 and the results of operations and cash flows for the years then ended of Univentures Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries, and of Univentures Public Company Limited, respectively, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements 2 . Basis of preparation of financial statements The financial statements issued for Thai reporting purposes are prepared in the Thai language. This English translation of the financial statements has been prepared for the convenience of readers not conversant with the Thai language. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Thai Accounting Standards (“TAS”) and Thai Financial Reporting Standards (“TFRS”) including related interpretations and guidelines promulgated by the Federation of Accounting Professions (“FAP”) and with generally accepted accounting principles in Thailand. On15May 2009,the FAP announced (AnnouncementNo.12/2009) there-numbering of TAS to the same numbers as the International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) on which the TAS/TFRS are based. The Group has adopted the following revised TAS/TFRS and accounting guidance which were issued by the FAP during 2008 and 2009 and effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009: TAS 36 (revised 2007) Impairment of Assets TFRS 5 (revised 2007) Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (formerly TAS 54) Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (revised 2007) (effective on 26 June 2009) Accounting Guidance about Leasehold Right (effective on 26 June 2009) The adoption of these revised TAS/TFRS and accounting guidance does not have any material impact on the consolidated and separate financial statements. The FAP has issued during 2009 a number of new and revised TAS which are not currently effective and have not been adopted in the preparation of these financial statements. These new and revised TAS are disclosed in note 35. The financial statements are presented in Thai Baht, unless otherwise stated. They are prepared on the historical cost basis except as stated in the accounting policies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with TAS and TFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Notes to Financial Statements 3 . Significant accounting policies (a) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements relate to the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interests in associates. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Associates Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the income, expenses and equity movements of associates from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the Group’s carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income or expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee.Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealisedgains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. (b) Foreign currencies Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Thai Baht at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to Thai Baht at the foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the statement of income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at cost in foreign currencies are translated to Thai Baht using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions 85
Notes to Financial Statements (c) Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are used to manage exposure to foreign exchange risks arising from operational, financing and investment activities. Derivative financial instruments are not used for trading purposes. However, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in the statement of income when incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are remeasured at fair value. The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in the statement of income The fair value of f orward exchange contracts is based on their listed market price, if available. If a listed market price is not available, then fair value is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price at the reporting date for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). (d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the statements of cash flows comprise cash balances, call deposits and highly liquid short-term investments. (e) Trade and other accounts receivable Trade and other accounts receivable are stated at their invoice value less allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is assessed primarily on analysis of payment histories and future expectations of customer payments. Bad debts are written off when incurred. (f) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Raw materials, factory supplies and processing materials are calculated using specific principle and the first in first out principle, respectively. Finish goods and work in process are calculated using the weighted average cost principle. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-progress, cost includes an appropriate share of overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs to complete and to make the sale.
86
Notes to Financial Statements (g) Project development cost and properties under development for lease Project development cost are those properties which are held with the intention of development and sale in the ordinary course of business. Properties under development for lease are properties which are held to earn rental income, for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Project development cost and properties under development for lease comprises specifically identified costs, includin g acquisition costs, development expenditure, borrowing costs and other related expenditure. Borrowing costs payable on loans funding a development property are capitalised, on a specific identification basis, as part of the cost of the development property until the completion of development. Project development cost are stated at the lower of cost and their estimated net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less the costs to be incurred in the selling the properties. Unbilled construction work in progress is presented separately under current assets in the balance sheet. If payments received from customers exceed the income recognised, then the difference is presented under current liabilities in the balance sheet. (h) Investments Investments in subsidiaries and associates Investments in subsidiaries and associates in the separate financial statements of the Company are accounted for using the cost method. Investments in associates in the consolidated financial statements are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in other equity securities Marketable equity securities, other than those securities held for trading or intended to be held to maturity, are classified as available -for-sale investments. Available-for-sale investments are, subsequent to initial recognition, stated at fair value, and changes there in, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale monetary items, are recognised directly in equity. Impairment losses and foreign exchange differences are recognised in the statement of income. When these investments are derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised directly in equity is recognised in the statement of income. Where these investments are interest-bearing, interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the statement of income. Disposal of investments On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount together with the associated cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is recognised in the statement of income. 87
Notes to Financial Statements (i) Property, plant and equipment Owned assets Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses except for land which are stated at their revalued amounts. The revalued amount is the fair value determined on the basis of the property’s existing use at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Leased assets Leases in terms of which the Group substantially assumes all the risk and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Property, plant and equipment acquired by way of finance leases is capitalised at the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly to the statement of income. Revalued assets Revaluations are performed by independent professional valuers with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount of these assets does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair values at the reporting date. Any increase in value, on revaluation, is credited to equity under the heading ‘Unrealised surpluses-revaluation difference on land’ unless it offsets a previous decrease in value recognised in the statement of income in respect of the same asset. A decrease in value is recognised in the statement of income to the extent it exceeds an increase previously recognised in equity in respect of the same asset. Upon disposal of a revalued asset, any related revaluation surplus is transferred from equity to retained earnings and is not taken into account in calculating the gain or loss on disposal. Depreciation Depreciation is charged to the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings and other constructions Machinery and equipment Vehicles Furniture, fixtures and office equipment
20 5,10 5 3-10
No depreciation is provided on freehold land or assets under construction.

Notes to Financial Statements (j) Intangible assets Goodwill Goodwill in a business combination represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired. The Group changed its accounting policy for goodwill with effect from 1 January 2008 as follows: Acquisitions prior to 1 January 2008 Goodwill was stated at cost from the date of initial recognition and amortised over its estimated useful life of 10 years. On 1 January 2008, the Group discontinued amortisation of goodwill. The remaining balance is subject to testing for impairment, as described in note 3 (k). Acquisitions on or after 1 January 2008 Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment as described in note 3 (k). Other intangible assets Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives, are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Other intangible assets are amortised in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Software licences 5 years (k) Impairment The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date, and as and when indicators of impairment are identified. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income. Calculation of recoverable amount The recoverable amount of available-for-sale financial assets is calculated by reference to the fair value. The recoverable amount of a non-financial asset is the greater of the asset’s value in use and fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash - generating unit to which the asset belongs. 89
Notes to Financial Statements Reversals of impairment An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is reversed if the subsequent increase in recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets carried at amortised cost and available-for-sale financial assets that are debt securities, the reversal is recognised in the statement of income. For availablefor-sale financial assets that are equity securities, the reversal is recognised directly in equity. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods in respect of other non-financial assets are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. (l) Interest-bearing liabilities Interest-bearing liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less attribut able transaction charges. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing liabilities are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the statement of income over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis. (m) Trade and other accounts payable Trade and accounts payable are stated at cost. (n) Employee benefit Defined contribution plans Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense in the statement of income as incurred. (o) Provisions A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
90
Notes to Financial Statements (p) Revenue Revenue excludes value added taxes and is arrived at after deduction of trade discounts. Sale of goods and services rendered Revenue is recognised in the statement of income when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. No revenue is recognised if there is continuing management involvement with the goods or there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the probable return of goods. Service income is recognised as services are provided. Property development projects When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and expenses are recognised in the statement of income by reference to the stage of completion of property development project at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed, including among others: • • •
finalized sales agreements or in the case of condominium developments finalised sales agreements for a minimum of 40% of the area offered for sale; non-refundable deposits from customers of at least 20% of the value of each sales agreement; and the development is a minimum of 10% complete.
When it is probable that the total project costs will exceed the total project revenues, the expected loss is recognised immediately as an expense in the statement of income. Rental income Rental income is recognised in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Interest and dividend income Interest income is recognised in the statement of income as it accrues. Dividend income is recognised in the statement of income on the date the Group’s right to receive payments is established. Other income Other income is recognised on an accrual basis. (q) Expenses Operating leases Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the statement of income on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. 91
Notes to Financial Statements Finance costs Interest expenses and similar costs are charged to the statement of income for the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to be prepared for its intended use or sale. Other expense Other expenses are recognised on the accrual basis. (r) Income tax Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. 4.

Notes to Financial Statements 27 . Income tax expense Income tax reduction Royal Decree No. 387 B.E. 2544 dated 5 September 2001 grants companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand a reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 30% to 25% for taxable profit not exceeding Baht 300 million for the five consecutive accounting periods beginning on or after enactment. Listed companies that received income tax reduction under this Royal Decree are also eligible to continue the period of tax redution underRoyal Decree No. 475but not beyond the 2010 accounting period ending on or after 31 December 2010. The current tax expense in the consolidated and separate statements of income is different from the amount determined by applying the Thai corporation tax rate to the accounting profit for the year principally because:
(a) unutilised tax losses brought forward from the previous year have been utilised during the year to set-off against the current year’s tax charge.
(b) the different treatment for accounting and taxation purposes of certain items of income and expense, in particular, dividend income from related parties, loss from devaluation of goods and loss on impairment in value of investments.

Notes to Financial Statements 31 . Financial instruments Financial risk management policies The Group is exposed to normal business risks from changes in market interest rates and currency exchange rates and from non-performance of contractual obligations by counterparties. The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that future movements in market interest rates will affect the results of the Group’s operations and its cash flows because loan interest rates are mainly fixed. The Group is primarily exposed to interest rate risk from its borrowings (Note 16). The Group mitigates this risk by ensuring that the majority of its borrowings are at fixed interest rates. The effective interest rates of loans receivable as at 31 December and the periods in which the loans receivable mature were as follows: Effective interest rate(% per annum) 2009 Current Short-term loans to related parties Non-current Short-term loans to other parties Total 2008 Current Short-term loans to related parties Non-current Short-term loans to other parties Total

Notes to Financial Statements Credit risk Credit risk is the potential financial loss resulting from the failure of a customer or a counterparty to settle its financial and contractual obligations to the Group as and when they fall due. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. At the balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet. However, due to the large number of parties comprising the Group’s customer base, Management does not anticipate material losses from its debt collection. Liquidity risk The Group monitors its liquidity risk and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. Determination of fair values A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on their listed market price, if available. If a listed market price is not available, then fair value is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price at the reporting date for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are taken to approximate the carrying value. 32 . Commitments with non-related parties
