Operators of large retail business in the group of Hypermarket. These businesses mainly aim at selling of consumer goods and edible products, not home products. While some groups of products sold may overlap, their main customer targets are different.
Risk Factors The Company separately explains the risk factors which may affect the operations of business as follows:
1. Business Risk
In the face of economic downturn since the end of 2008 along with the effects from the world economic crisis and the H1N1 flu outbreak, the economy sharply decelerated in 2009. Moreover, there were political conflicts and violence situation in the three southern border provinces. The overall retail and wholesale business in the first half of 2009 contracted due to the slowdown of consumer spending in almost every product category, except for the goods in food section which was slightly increased. For the second half of the year, the overall domestic economy adjusted in a better direction. Consumers had more confidence in the economy and began to spend more. The important factors came from the government’s economic stimulus measures such as Cheque Chuay Chart project, Allowance for Elderly project, Thai Khem Khang project, and other economic stimulus measures which resulted in the increase in consumer purchasing power and the improvement of spendings in the retail and wholesale business accordingly. The Company, however, has closely kept abreast of the economic and political situation in order to plan and find measures and strategies to prevent the risks that may occur, and to operate the business so as to successfully reach the planned target.

1.1 Inventory
As of the 31st December 2009, 31st December 2008, and 31st December 2007, the Company had net Inventory equal of Baht 2,905.14 Million, Baht 2,728.08 Million, and Baht 2,547.57 Million respectively. The average inventory turnover periods were 66 days, 67 days, and 74 days. The decrease in inventory turnover period reflects the success in adopting a marketing strategy and our developing capability of inventory management. However, the Company has been continuingly attempting to increase the turnover of Inventory, whether by developing of service quality of sale persons, continual sales promotion, improving products display and internal appearance of branches, regularly adding new products to the store, including attempting to reduce the volume stocking level. For the reduction of inventory in 2006, the Company has expanded space of the distribution center. As of 31st December 2009, the total area amounted to 40,000 square meters, in order to be capable of supporting the increase of branches in the future and to manage inventory more efficiently.
1.2 Investment
As of 31st December 2009, the Company had branches in operation totaling 35 branches. The new branches in 2009 were Phuket-Chalong and Khao-Yai in Nakhon Ratchasima. Since the Company has a policy to continuously increase branches, there may be a risk with respect to the result of performance of new branches that may not be as forecasted. This will affect the result of the overall operation. The Company avoids the risk by analyzing the return on investment before every investment decision, and preparing the action plan and annual budget. When a new branch starts operating, the results of operations and progress plan are being followed up on a monthly basis. This will facilitate the Company to set the plan for handling the risk and to solve problems which may occur in timely manner.
1.3 Operation
The Company has the risk of loss or damage of property due to the operation of the sale personnel, and has set up a work unit to handle with such risk, that is Loss Prevention Unit, which is responsible for laying preventive and safety system against various risks of the Company including the risk that the employees may incur from the operation.
1.4 Accounts Receivable
The Company has divided the customers into 2 groups: retail customer and group of contractor and project owner. The retail customer is customer at store who purchases products by cash, the group of contractor and project owner is customer who purchases products by credit term. The major sales revenue comes from retail customer. As in 2009 the proportion of cash sales was 99.2% to total sales. For 2008 and 2007, the proportion was at 98.7% and 98.4%. It can be seen that the proportion of credit sales of the Company has decreased overtime. However, for the credit sales, the Company will consider only project that has reliable financial status, which the company has analyzed the result of operation and financial status or having the contractor place with a letter of guarantee as security against debt payment, etc. As of 31st December 2009, 31st December 2008, and 31st December 2007, the Company has accounts receivable of Baht 143.18 Million, Baht 160.63 Million, and Baht 164.37 Million, being credit card debtor of Baht 65.55 Million, Baht 34.06 Million, and Baht 48.13 Million respectively. The allowance for doubtful bad debts was set to be approximately Baht 14.40 Million, Baht 25.64 Million, and Baht 20.79 Million as of 31st December 2009, 31st December 2008, and 31st December 2007 respectively, which the management have already estimated the debt repayment period and have evaluated financial status of each debtor. The Company believes that the allowance for doubtful bad debts has been set sufficiently and appropriately. 18 Total Home Solution
2. Competitive Risk
The Company operates a retail business with products relating to houses and residential places where there are both direct and indirect competitors such as retailing shops, department stores, specialty stores, and general small retail shops. The Company has differentiated itself by focusing on offering a variety of products and complete range of services for construction, repairing, decoration, and addition. Also, the Company provides a team of experts for several kinds of system work such as electrical system, plumbing, and related installation, etc. Furthermore, the Company has concentrated on strengthening efficiency of internal management in order to improve, its capability and advantages against both local and international competition in the future.
3. Legal Risk
The laws which are relevant and may cause a risk to business operation are as follows: 1. The Bangkok Metropolis Town Planning Law Announced on 16th May 2006, with objectives to be a guidance on the development of Bangkok Metropolis and to support the expansion in the future. If there shall be modification of the town planning in the future, the Company will not be affected from this limitation, as the Company had put its investment to cover almost all areas of Bangkok. On the other hand, it is being seen as a restriction on business expansion of competitor, which is a benefit to the Company.
2. The Trade Competition Act In 2006, the Trade Competition Commission has adopted its resolution on
the Guideline for Unfair Trade Practices in the Wholesale/Retail Business, by virtue of the Trade Competition Act B.E. 2542 into 8 ways as follows: 1. Unfair price fixing. 2. Unfair request for economic benefit. 3. Unfair returning of goods. 4. Unfair use of agreement of sell on consignment. 5. Coercion to Purchase or to pay for service fee. 6. Unfair use of personnel of manufacturer/vendor. 7. Refusing to accept products by order/customized made as its own private brand, or of House Brand. 8. Other unfair practices.
Such 8 clauses of Guideline for unfair trade practices have affected the modern retail business. However, in order to perform the business in conjunction with the above announcement, the Company has agreed with its business partner in amending the agreement to be more specific and clearer.
3. Draft Wholesale and Retail Business Act The Cabinet has accepted the principle of the draft Wholesale
and Retail Business Act and has also considered the draft proposed by the Trade Representative. However, the Cabinet have submitted such draft to the Juridicial Counsel for its consideration in order to propose the draft to the House of Representatives accordingly. In this regard, if the Act is approved, it will affect all major modern retailers. And also, if the Act is enforced on the Company’s business, it may be an advantage on the Company due to the fact that the Act will limit the expansion of new incoming business. Therefore, there will be competition among the original competitors under the same parameters of the laws.
4. Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Act B.E. 2542 (1999) At present, the Company has imported some
categories of goods from overseas. In 2010, there will be also a reduction in import duty for goods imported from a country that is a party in the Agreement on Economic Cooperation. Therefore, according to the agreement, a manufacturer in Thailand may possibly file complaint regarding dumping.

3. Adoption of new accounting standards
In June 2009, the Federation of Accounting Professions issued Notification No. 12/2552, assigning new numbers to Thai Accounting Standards that match the corresponding International Accounting Standards. The numbers of Thai Accounting Standards as referred to in these financial statements reflect such change. The Federation of Accounting Professions has issued Notification No. 86/2551 and No. 16/2552, mandating the use of new accounting standards, financial reporting standard and accounting treatment guidance as follows. 3.1 Accounting standards, financial reporting standard and accounting treatment guidance which are effective for the current year • Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (revised 2007) • TAS 36 (revised 2007) : Impairment of Assets • TFRS 5 (revised 2007) : Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations • Accounting Treatment Guidance for Leasehold Right • Accounting Treatment Guidance for Business Combination under Common Control These accounting standards, financial reporting standard and accounting treatment guidance became effective for the financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The management has assessed the effect of these standards and believes that Accounting Treatment Guidance for Business Combination under Common Control is not relevant to the business of the Company, while Framework for Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (revised 2007), TAS 36 (revised 2007), TFRS 5 (revised 2007) and Accounting Treatment Guidance for Leasehold Right do not have any significant impact on the financial statements for the current year. 3.2 Accounting standards which are not effective for the current year • TAS 20 : Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, effective on 1 January 2012 • TAS 24 (revised 2007) : Related Party Disclosures, effective on 1 January 2011 • TAS 40 : Investment Property, effective on 1 January 2011 However, TAS 24 (revised 2007) and TAS 40 allows early adoption by the entity before the effective date. The management of the Company has assessed the effect of these standards and believes that TAS 20 is not relevant to the business of the Company, while TAS 24 (revised 2007) and TAS 40 will not have any significant impact on the financial statements for the year in which it is initially applied.
4. Significant accounting policies 4.1 Revenue recognition Sales of goods Sales of goods are recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer. Sales are the invoiced value, excluding value added tax, of goods supplied after deducting discounts and allowances.
Total Home Solution 65
Rendering of service Service revenue is recognised when services have been rendered taking into account
the stage of completion.
Rental income Rental income under operating leases is recognised over the lease period. Interest income Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis based on the effective interest rate. 4.2 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.
4.3 Trade accounts receivable
Trade accounts receivable are stated at the net realisable value. Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for the estimated losses that may be incurred in collection of receivables. The allowance is generally based on collection experiences and analysis of debt aging.
4.4 Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (moving average cost method) and net realisable value. Volume incentives received from the supplier are accounted for as a reduction of inventory purchases and recognised in income statements when the related inventory is sold.
4.5 Investment
Investment in subsidiary is accounted for in the separated financial statements using the cost method.
4.6 Property, plant and equipment/Depreciation
Land is stated at cost, buildings and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and less allowance for loss on impairment of assets (if any). Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated by reference to their costs, on the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings • 20 years Buildings on lease land and building improvement • lease periods but not over useful lives Computer equipment • 3 - 10 years Furniture, fixtures and office equipment • 5 - 10 years Motor vehicles • 5 years
Depreciation is included in determining income. No depreciation is provided on land and land improvement, and assets under installation and under construction.
66 Total Home Solution
4.7 Intangible assets
Intangible assets are measured at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses (if any). Intangible assets (computer software) with finite lives are amortised on a systematic basis over the economic useful life (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 intangible assets are reviewed at least at each financial year end. The amortisation expense is charged to the income statement.
4.8 Related party transactions
Related parties comprise enterprises and individuals that control, or are controlled by, the Company, whether directly or indirectly, or which are under common control with the Company. They also include individuals which directly or indirectly own a voting interest in the Company that gives them significant influence over the Company, key management personnel, directors and officers with authority in the planning and direction of the Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations.
4.9 Long-term leases Finance leases
Leases of equipment and motor vehicles which transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The outstanding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other long-term payables, while the interest element is charged to the income statements over the lease period. The equipment and motor vehicles acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the useful life of the asset.
Operating leases
Leases not transferring a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statements on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place.
4.10 Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Baht at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Baht at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses on exchange are included in determining income.
4.11 Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the Company performs impairment reviews in respect of the properly, plant 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 assetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, is less than the carrying amount. In determining Total Home Solution 67
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. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by a valuation model that, based on information available, reflects the amount that the Company could obtain from the disposal of the asset in an armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, after deducting the costs of disposal. An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.
4.12 Employee benefits
Salaries, wages, bonuses and contributions to the social security fund and provident fund are recognised as expenses when incurred.
4.13 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
4.14 Income tax
Income tax is provided in the accounts based on taxable profits determined in accordance with tax legislation.
5. Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of financial 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. Significant judgments and estimates are as follows:
Leases
In determining whether a lease is to be classified as an operating lease or finance lease, the management is required to use judgment regarding whether significant risk and rewards of ownership of the leased asset has been transferred, taking into consideration terms and conditions of the arrangement.
Allowance for damaged goods
In determining an allowance for damaged goods due to loss or deterioration, the management needs to exercise judgment in making estimates based upon the condition of goods and the duration such goods have remained in stock.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
In determining an allowance for doubtful accounts, the management needs to make judgment and estimates based upon, among other things, past collection history, aging profile of outstanding debts and the prevailing economic condition.
68 Total Home Solution
Fair value of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of financial instruments that are not actively traded and for which quoted market prices are not readily available, the management exercise judgment, using a variety of valuation techniques and models. The input to these models is taken from observable markets, and includes consideration of liquidity, correlation and longer-term volatility of financial instruments.
Property plant and equipment/Depreciation
In determining depreciation of plant and equipment, the management is required to make estimates of the useful lives and salvage values of the Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plant and equipment and to review estimate useful lives and salvage 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 in the period 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.
Marketing promotion expenses
Marketing promotion expenses arise in respect of advertising and promotional activities, including various sales promotion activities that are undertaken when the Company has already sold merchandise but still has obligations to customers to make payment related to such sales promotion in the future. Certain transactions are estimates based on experience and comparison with various information available in the related market. However, the use of different estimates and assumptions could affect the amounts of marketing promotion expenses and adjustments to this expense may therefore be required in the future.

21. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, after adjusting the number of ordinary shares in proportion to the change in the number of shares as a result of the increase in share capital arising from the issue of a stock dividend of 1,752.0 million shares on 20 October 2009, as discussed in Note 17. The number of ordinary shares of the prior year has been adjusted as if the stock dividend had been issued at the beginning of the earliest period reported. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, after adjusting the number of ordinary shares in proportion to the change in the number of shares as a result of the increase in share capital arising from the issue of a stock dividend, as discussed in the above paragraph, plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would need to be issued to convert all dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. The calculation assumes that the conversion took place either at the beginning of the year or on the date the potential ordinary shares were issued.

27. Financial instruments
27.1 Financial risk management The Company’s financial instruments, as defined under Thai Accounting Standard No. 32 “Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentations”, principally comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other receivables, short-term loans, debentures and long-term loans. The financial risks associated with these financial instruments and how they are managed is described below. Credit risk The Company is exposed to credit risk primarily with respect to trade accounts receivable and other receivable. The Company manages the risk by adopting appropriate credit control policies and procedures and therefore does not expect to incur material financial losses. In addition, the Company does not have high concentrations, of credit risk since it has a large customer base. The maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable and others receivable as stated in the balance sheet. Interest rate risk The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to its deposits with financial institutions, short-term loans, debentures and long-term loans. However, since the Company’s financial assets and some of its financial liabilities bear floating interest rates and some of financial liabilities bear fixed interest rates which are close to the market rate, the interest rate risk is expected to be minimal. Significant financial assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2009, classified by type of interest rate, are summarised in the table below, with those financial assets and liabilities that carry fixed interest rates further classified based on the maturity date, or the repricing date if this occurs before the maturity date.

27.2 Fair values of financial instruments Since some of the Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial assets and liabilities are short-term in nature and loans bear interest at rates close to market rate or floating interest rates, their fair value is not expected to be materially different from the amounts presented in the balance sheets. A fair value is the amount for which an asset can be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s length transaction. The fair value is determined by reference to the market price of the financial instrument or by using an appropriate valuation technique, depending on the nature of the instrument.
