MESSAGE FROM THE

CHAIRMAN

In 2008, the Thai economy grew only 2.6%, a substantial slowdown from 4.5% in 2007, due to the impact from the global financial crisis, which subsequently affected the economic sector. Many countries faced the fall in spendings, investments, and international trades from the diminished export value and volume. Nevertheless, the overall economy for the year still had stability as a result of the reduced inflation pressure from lower oil prices. As for the overall situation of the serviced apartments for foreigners operated by Natural Park Public Company Limited, year 2008 witnessed the increased occupancy rate by 2% from the previous year. The occupancy rate of apartments in Sukhumvit, Ploenchit-Chid Lom, and Silom-Sathon areas was at 89% on average. Sukhumvit area where the Company’s apartment is located still ranked top with the occupancy rate at 92%. There were stable demand and supply in serviced apartments for foreigners. In other words, the new demand increased in the level that could be absorbed by the supply in the market. The rental rates were adjusted slightly higher whereas high competition in apartment business went on to attract clients. The hotel and tourism industries experienced the growth of 5.9% and 0.2% respectively in the second and the third quarters before the shrinkage of 8.3% in the fourth quarter due to the impact of the world economic downturns on the purchasing power in tourism sector. In addition, the traveling costs in Thailand, including transportation and accommodation expenses, rose by 4.4%. The People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD)’s closure of Suvarnabhumi Airport at the end of the year caused the cancellation of many flights to Thailand. Foreign tourists were more careful to travel to the country. These factors resulted in the decrease in the number of tourists by 19.4% in the last quarter. Year 2008 depicted the Company’s significant move to recover confidence in the company stability through its attempt to end the bankruptcy cases in the past, negotiation with creditors on rehabilitation plan, successful increase in capital, and new business partners to jointly invest in the hotel business. The Company, in consequence, has regained confidence to face the economic slowdown in the future. From now on, all Thai people in both public and private sectors have to jointly fight against the upcoming challenges with confidence in the country’s strong fundamental factors. Likewise, Natural Park is certain that Thailand’s real estate industry has potential to grow in the long run. With experience, vision, effective planning, and competence of management and staff, Natural Park will be able to bring sustainable returns to the shareholders and remain a leader in the real estate development business. The Company has treated all the stakeholders with equality and fairness. Transparency of the operation has been ensured in compliance with the good corporate governance regulations. Finally, on behalf of Natural Park Public Company Limited, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all shareholders who have mutually provided their kind support to the Company’s business, as well as all clients, business partners, domestic and foreign investors, governing authorities, and financial institutions that have given us their cordial support and confidence. Also, I would like to extend my sincere gratefulness to the Company’s management and staff members for their dedication towards our organization.

NATURAL PARK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL

INFORMATION COMPANY BACKGROUND Natural Park Public Company Limited was established on June 23, 1988. The Company developed real estate for rent such as The Natural Park Apartment, a well-known luxurious apartment project in the center of Soi Sukhumvit 49. Located in one of Bangkok’s finest residential areas and equipped with professional service, the project has enjoyed steady growth. The Company, later on, has undertaken various real estate development projects, such as a dental hospital, hotels, golf courses, condominiums and housing estate. The success of its projects has allowed the Company’s expansion. Natural Park became a listed company in the Stock Exchange of Thailand on February 15, 1993 and a public company on February 3, 1994. Thailand’s economic crisis in 1997 severely affected all business segments including the real estate market. The Company restructured financially to reduce debt burden. Subsequently, the Company filed a petition for business reorganization with the Central Bankruptcy Court according to the Bankruptcy Act B.E. 2483, whereby, on 2 May 2000, the Central Bankruptcy Court had issued an order to allow the Company for rehabilitation of its businesses. The Company succeeded in fulfilling the conditions stipulated in the Rehabilitation Plan. The Central Bankruptcy Court ordered the termination of the reorganization on February 13, 2003. Since the Company was not in the business rehabilitation, new real estate business policies have been laid out to suit the economy and business cycle. The Buy-Develop-Sell strategy generates suitable yields that are right for the business cycle. The corporate sustainable growth has been strengthened through networking to potential domestic and overseas alliances. Strengths of the Company and its partners support the Buy-Develop-Sell strategic approach. Generating incomes from lets on property is another main source of stable incomes that relieve the effects of fluctuations during the economic downturn. From 2003 to 2005, Natural Park had developed a number of real estate projects and invested in several public companies. In 2006, many Thai and international investors were interested in the Company’s projects and investments. The Company was able to sell some of its assets to improve its financial stability and liquidity, which helps reduce the risks caused by fluctuations during the recession. For instance, The Sofitel Sukhumvit Hotel was sold to investors from Bahrain. The Company sold some of its stakes in Bangkok Metro Public Company Limited and Syntec Construction Public Company Limited (“SYNTEC”). Moreover, Natural Park financially restructured the Novotel Beach Resort Panwa Phuket Hotel project by issuing debentures amounting to approximately Baht 860 million to a world-class investment banker. The capital generated has been used to facilitate the construction of new rooms which will eventually add substantial value to the project. Strengthening Company’s Credit Stability in Year 2008 Since early 2007, the Company has encountered the crisis in confidence which was caused by the legal disputes in connection to the bankruptcy case with Ocean Life Insurance Co., Ltd., a creditor in the rehabilitation plan in the past, has

GENERAL

INFORMATION filed a lawsuit against the Company in principal debenture amount Baht 260.30 million. As a result, banks do not extend the debt repayment period and call the Company to repay the whole amount of loan. Nevertheless, the Company has put the best effort in solving this problem. Since 2008, the Company has solved the problems in various ways simultaneously, which can be summarized into 5 ways: finding the solution for the bankruptcy case in the past, the negotiation with debtors, capital increase, finding strategic partners in each investment project, and the disposition of assets. The problem solutions were succeeding in 2008. Details are the following: Find the Solution for the Bankruptcy Case in the Past. According to the Company’s bankruptcy case between the Company and Ocean Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (“Ocean”) in the past which started 7 years ago that has became prolonged and confusing as there were many other related cases. The Company’s management has endeavored to visit and clarify constantly with both local and international investors. Besides, the Company has also gathered many legal advices from many legal experts to find the distinctive solutions as soon as possible. In November 2008, the Company received the Southern Civil Court judgment which is another case that Ocean has sue the Company since 1999 in debenture principal of Baht 260.30 million. (Same principal amount as the bankruptcy case). The Court was ruled that the Company shall pay the plaintiff the principal of Baht 200 million and interest of 12.42% p.a. from 20 November 1996 to 10 September 1997 and interest of 7.5% p.a. from 11 September 1997 onwards until the debt has been paid. The Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company on 29 January 2009 resolved to enter into a compromise agreement with Ocean whereby the Company will pay Baht 200 million to settle such case. The payment will be done in installments as follow: 1. 2. 3. 4.

On the date of entering into a compromise agreement and the appeal court ordered accordingly, the Company will pay cash of Baht 75 million. Within 15 March 2009, the Company will either transfer common shares in Bangkok Metro Public Company Limited amount of 50,968,148 shares or transfer other assets acceptable by Ocean or cash of Baht 19,893,270 million. Within 15 April 2009, the Company will either transfer common shares in Bangkok Metro Public Company Limited amount of 134,645,926 shares or transfer other assets acceptable by Ocean or cash of Baht 52,553,365 million. Within 15 October 2009, the Company will either transfer common shares in Bangkok Metro Public Company Limited amount of 134,645,926 shares or transfer other assets acceptable by Ocean or cash of Baht 52,553,365 million.

As such, the management of the Company has considered such matter and viewed that although such liability happened 12 years in the past before the Company entered into the rehabilitation process, the current situation requires the

GENERAL

INFORMATION Company to compromise in order for the Company to lower the debt reserve burden and strengthen the Company’s financial status. Also, the settlement of the bankruptcy case is crucial for the Company’s survival. In addition, within 4 months after the Company has fully paid Ocean, Ocean will filed a statement to withdraw the appeal of the bankruptcy case of the Central Bankruptcy Court. On 3 February 2009, the Company has entered into a Compromise Agreement and the appeal court ordered accordingly, thus, the Company paid cash of Baht 75 million to Ocean.

NATURE OF

BUSINESS OPERATION Business Policy Natural Park Public Company Limited operates in the real estate business with Buy-Develop-Sell Strategy, which has been in effect since 2003, allows the Company to generate benefits that suit the business cycle. The end result is the highest potential for returns. At the same time, the Company has maintained its rental real estate projects which located in highly profitable areas as a source of solid incomes. Even though the Thai economy has confronted with volatilities and effected from the world economic crisis since 2006, the Company was able to maintain its financial stabilities from its risk-diversified investments in both operating projects and projects under developments. There are 3 main steps to the “Buy-Develop-Sell” strategy. “Buy” is the first step of investing in real estate whether they are land banks, NPL projects or completed projects and marketable securities and those that correspond with the Company’s business direction. The management is required to have good knowledge and anticipation of the direction of the business, the business cycle as well as knowledge in the expansion direction of the infrastructure such as underground railway network. In depth study and analysis are also required for choosing the right location or finding the potential of the individual assets. The second step “Develop” implies the value adding to the individual assets. This step requires great understanding and knowledge of consumer demand analysis or developing projects for suitability with a specific location. Opting to build a condominium, an apartment for rent or hotel for tourists to accommodate the needs of consumers are examples of the in depth market study and research required. “Sell” is the last step which strategically seeks the highest return for the Company. World leading real estate investors would consider profit-based more than asset-based. If selling an asset yields higher profit than the benefit received from owning it then the option to sell would be most beneficial to the Company. The profit obtained from the sale of an asset can be used to further develop other projects or to invest by engaging in the “Buy” step again. In this final step, the management must have the ability to seek buyers or world leading investors, and the ability to enhance reputation and credibility in real estate value adding which is in high demand in the market. The Company can also use strategic selling in order to generate short-term cash flow and build confidence in the Company’s status as well as capital for projects with potential profit. This reflected the strength and flexibility of the aforementioned policy which enables the use of “Sell” to effectively handle the fluctuation of business conditions. In order to achieve the “Buy-Develop-Sell” strategy, Natural Park has applied its business strengths which include experience and expertise in teamwork as well as domestic and foreign affiliates who are ready to support the development of various projects and in every phase.

Grade A rooms at 96%. The average occupancy rate of the Grade B rooms in all areas remains stable at 88%. Based on the information, it can be concluded that Sukhumvit area is an area with higher demand for quality apartments for rent than other areas. The increase in the occupancy rate in Sukhumvit area is 5% and Ploenchit-Chidlom area 4%. However, the Silom-Sathorn area’s occupancy rate decreases by 1%. The average rental rate for the Grade A rooms in Sukhumvit area in 2008 is at 441 Baht per square meter, increased by 1%. Silom-Sathorn area’s rental rate increases by 8% on average to 469 Baht per square meter. The rental rate for the Grade B rooms is at Baht 298 per square meter, slightly changed from the previous year. The business trend of apartments for rent for foreigners remains stable in terms of demand and supply. The demand will increase at the level that the supply can absorb and the price will be slightly adjusted. However, the competition to attract clients will continue. According to the survey, newly-opened apartments are better aware of the target clients’ needs and develop the management system and services to satisfy them. The right marketing strategies also have high influence on the success of apartments such as reasonable price, provision of electrical appliance or high-speed internet, etc. In the year 2009, the apartment market is forecasted to be stable. The rental rates will be higher in the areas where new projects are located, particularly Sukhumvit area. The rental rates in the existing projects will be increased by not over 1% on average. The average occupancy rate will vary with the economic situation and foreign investment in the country. New projects are mainly located in Sukhumvit area. Most projects are of Grade B with not over 8 stories and monthly rental rates between 400-600 Baht per square meter depending on the location and decoration. Source: 1.

Competition Status and Growth Trend From the event the People Alliance Democracy (PAD) got together to protest the government since May 2008, Kasikorn Thai Research Center analyzed that in the third quarter number of tourists would decrease. The local political impact creates panic to tourists. In the last quarter, number of tourists might decrease to 30% from the total of 4.4 million people which had been previously estimated before such event. Such reflects loss of touring revenue from tourists being worth of approximately Baht 55,000 million. In year 2008, most of the loss are in the touring businesses on tourists accommodations or hotels which could be up to 28% (approximately Baht 10,000-20,000 million). From monthly economic status, it indicated that in September 2008, amount of room reservations via travel agency was seriously decreased due to world economic crisis and domestic political situation which affected economy’s expansion in the third quarter, and expectably it might decrease continuously in the fourth quarter of 2008. The statistic figures of the Office of Tourism Development on 11 November 2008 showing substantial figures of tourism in Phuket Province, comparing between 2007 and 2008, by estimation, provided that number of rooms in Phuket has increased at 6.16%, but check-in rate of tourists has decreased at 8.42%.

GENERAL RISK

INFORMATION FACTORS 1. Operational Risk Natural Park Public Company Limited’s apartment business is still in good condition because most of its foreign customers tend to rent for a long term. Thus, the Company is not much affected by external factors whereas the apartment business as a whole remains stable. The hotel industry has been affected by political situation - the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD)’s protest against the government and the world economic crisis. Particularly, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in USA has impact on the additional construction of Novotel Beach Resort Panwa Phuket because Lehman Brothers holds the debentures which the Company issued to fund the construction. N-PARK is now seeking new sources of funds. Nevertheless, the Company’s hotels are in good locations in Bangkok, and major tourist cities. Besides, they are operated by the highly competent management team who helps strengthen marketing activities. The Company has intended to complete the construction of its hotels. In terms of construction and renovation, the costs of construction materials and transportation have been decreased this year, favorably benefiting the administration of construction projects.

2. Financial Risk As at 31 December 2008, the Company’s total current assets were Baht 335.34 million and total current liabilities were Baht 3,151.59 million. Beside the negative operating cash flow, the Company faced the net loss for the year ended on 31 December 2008 in the amount of Baht 1,946.81 million, and the debts which may be incurred from legal disputes. Consequently, the auditor noted that the Company’s continual operation in the future would significantly depend on a) the successful implementation of the Rehabilitation Plan; and b) the ability to achieve its business operation in the future and sufficient cash flow from business operation. Nevertheless, the Company has acknowledged these problems and puts its best effort to find solutions. On 3 February 2009, the Company has entered into the compromise contract with Thai Ocean Life Insurance Company Limited and agreed to pay Baht 200 million to end the civil and bankruptcy cases. When the amount is fully paid, the reserve funds for legal disputes will be reduced. On 24 February 2009, the Company sold its capital-increase shares amounting to Baht 346.98 million (from the total 34,698.79 million shares at a par value of Baht 0.01.) The Company also has the plan to sell its assets as approved by the shareholders’ meeting on 2 February 2009 to make a compromise with the creditors and to develop its projects.

3. Dividend Payment Risk As at 31 December 2008, the Company had a total deficit of Baht 7,967.86 million mainly due to the estimated expenses from court judgments of Baht 448.67 million, loss from impairment of investments of Baht 639.83 million, and loss from disposal of investments of Baht 324.52 million. This resulted in the loss of Baht 1,794.36 million, and the deficit at the end of 2008 totaled Baht 7,967.86 million. Consequently, the Company cannot pay dividends to all

Although the debts were incurred 12 years ago before the rehabilitation process, it is necessary for the Company to reach the compromise without delay to reduce its debt reserves, to benefit the financial status, and to end the bankruptcy case for its future operation. Therefore, on 3 February 2009, the Company has entered into the compromise contract with Thai Ocean Life Insurance Company Limited and agreed to pay Baht 200 million (as at 31 December 2008, the Company recorded Baht 389.80 million as the estimated liabilities from legal cases with Thai Ocean Life Insurance Company Limited) to end the civil and bankruptcy cases. Other cases are currently being heard by the relevant courts, and are not final yet.

EXPLANATIONS AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL STATUS 1. Operational Performance As at 31 December 2008, the total revenue of the Company was Baht 302.60 million decreased by Baht 665.31 million or 68.73% as compared to the total revenue for the year 2007 of Baht 967.92 million. This was because the Company did not recognize the revenue from the business operation of Pacific Assets Public Company Limited (“PA”) in 2008 after selling its ordinary shares in PA in December 2007. In addition, the Company had no gain from disposal of assets in 2008. In terms of expenses (including profit attributable to minority interest), the Company had total expenses for the year 2008 of Baht 2,104.44 million, reduced by Baht 2,327.95 million or 52.52% as compared to the total expenses for the year 2007 of Baht 4,432.41 million. The expenses in 2008 were mainly due to the estimated expenses from court judgments of Baht 448.67 million, loss from impairment of investments of Baht 639.83 million, and loss from disposal of investments of Baht 324.52 million although the Company had the reduction in administrative expenses of Baht 176.81 million and decrease in the loss from disposal of investments of Baht 1,849.83 million. Therefore, after deducting expenses from revenue with details as explained above, the year 2008 resulted in the net loss of Baht 1,801.84 million as compared to the net loss of Baht 3,464.50 million in the year 2007. 2. Financial Status Assets As at 31 December 2008, the Company’s total assets were Baht 3,343.35 million, compared with 2007 of Bath 4,134.67 million, decreased by Baht 791.33 million or 19.14% due to the reduction in investments in related companies in the amount of Baht 971.02 million. This was mainly influenced by the sale of 500 million Bangkok Metro Public Company Limited ordinary shares at a par value of Baht 0.79, totaling Baht 632.09 million, and the lower investment value from the economic recession. Nevertheless, in 2008 the Company’s investments in subsidiaries and associated companies increased by Baht 61.86 million from the end of 2007. Even though the Company recognized the loss from operations of subsidiaries and associated companies, the purchase of Natural Hotel Siam Co., Ltd. ’s capital-increase shares in proportion of its shareholding increased the Company’s investments in subsidiaries and associated companies. The Company had the increase in property, plant and equipment; leasehold right; and land and leasehold right pending development in the amount of Baht 361.44 million in 2008 when compared to the previous year. This was because the Company adjusted the recording method for joint-venture business by changing from recording in associated companies to subsidiaries. So, the Company recognized more leasehold rights and works under construction. The construction of additional phases of Novotel Beach Resort Panwa Phuket was developed in 2008. Liabilities As at 31 December 2008, the Company liabilities totaled Baht 3,296.08 million, compared with 2007 of Baht 2,870.92 million, increased by Baht 425.16 million or 14.81%. This was due to the estimated liabilities of Baht 448.67 million from the results of the civil cases with Thai Ocean Life Insurance Company Limited and ACL Bank Public Company Limited. Moreover, N-PARK received cash from debentures of Lehman Brothers Group, amounting to Baht 186.22 million, to fund the construction of Novotel Beach Resort Panwa Phuket to its completion. The Company is now seeking new sources of funds to complete the project. NATURAL PARK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED EXPLANATIONS AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL STATUS

However, the Company’s paid-up capital was Baht 12,086.18 million, increased by 4,028.73 million when compared to Baht 8,057.46 million in 2007. This resulted from the successful sale of its capital-increase shares.

The decrease was due to the net loss for the year 2008 of Baht 1,801.84 million although the Company was successful in increasing its capital of Baht 201.44 million in the first quarter of the same year. Liquidity The Company’s cash and cash equivalent (cash and cash at financial institutions) brought forward from 2007 was Baht 90.56 million. During 2008, the net cash flow increased by Baht 136.78 million, resulting in the net cash flow of Baht 227.34 million at the end of the year. The reason for the increase in the net cash flow for 2008 incurred from cash flow from financing activities of Baht 177.89 million, and from investing activities of Baht 243.91 million from the sale of Bangkok Metro Public Company Limited ordinary shares, and cash from debentures to fund the construction of Novotel Beach Resort Panwa Phuket. However, cash used in operating activities amounted to Baht 294.11 million. The Company’s Board of Directors has tried to solve the problems without delay to improve the Company’s financial status. On 3 February 2009, the Company has entered into the compromise contract with Thai Ocean Life Insurance Company Limited and agreed to pay Baht 200 million to end the civil and bankruptcy cases. When the amount is fully paid, the reserve funds for legal disputes with Thai Ocean Life Insurance Company Limited will be reduced (as at 31 December 2008, the estimated liabilities for the legal cases with Thai Ocean Life Insurance Company Limited amounted to Baht 389.80 million.)

The auditor had opinion with notes as the financial statements of associated companies have been prepared by the management of the associated companies and have not been reviewed by any other auditor. And the Company had not yet received the financial statements reviewed by auditor. In addition, the auditor noted that the Company had uncertainty about legal disputes which are under the court hearing. The Company has changed its accounting method for goodwill. Its subsidiary had uncertain status as the lessor may terminate the rental contract due to the subsidiary’s default on payment. The Company is currently seeking source of fund to develop the remaining project of the subsidiary. The Company’s continual operations in the future significantly depend on a) the successful implementation of the Rehabilitation Plan; b) the ability to achieve its business operation in the future and sufficient cash flow from business operation. These factors indicate significant uncertainties about the Company’s and subsidiaries’ ability to continue business operations.

However, the Company’s Board of Directors has realized the problems and has tried to find the solutions without delay to improve the Company’s financial status.

FINANCIAL STATMENTS OF NATURAL PARK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED AND ITS SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

Auditor’s Report To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Natural Park Public Company Limited 1. I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Natural Park Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, the changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended and the financial statements of Natural Park Public Company Limited. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008 of 2 subsidiaries included in the consolidated and the Company’s financial statements and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008 of 2 associates used as the basis for recording the equity method have been audited by other auditors.

The auditor’s report was issued before restatement as described in the fifth paragraph. 2. Except as discussed in the third paragraph, I conducted my audit in accordance with the 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 presentation of the financial statements. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion. 3. Investment in associate was accounted for under the equity method of Baht 225 million and the share of net gain (loss) for the year of Baht (0.17) million which was calculated on the basis of financial information for the year ended 31 December 2008 of an Apartment Property Fund provided by the Fund Manager. The financial information has not yet been reviewed by the auditor. The scope of limitation for any review on those statements is caused by circumstance since the Company has not yet received the audited financial statements. 4. In my opinion, based on my audits and the reports of the other auditor, and exception for the effect of any adjustment that might be required to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008 of the matter discussed in the third paragraph, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the company financial statement referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions as at 31 December 2008, and the consolidated and company’s results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended of Natural Park

FINANCIAL STATMENTS OF NATURAL PARK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED AND ITS SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries and Natural Park Public Company Limited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 5. As discussed in Note 34 to the financial statements, the Company’s adjustments have been applied to restate the prior years’ financial statements regarding the record of provision for liabilities from litigation. I also audited the adjustments which were applied to restate the prior periods’ financial statements. Such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. 6. Without qualifying my opinion, I draw the attention to the following notes to financial statements: 6.1 Note 32, the Company has litigation issues and the cases are presently under the hearing of the Court.

6.2 Note 3, the Company changed its accounting policy from amortization of goodwill to discontinuing amortization of goodwill and recognizing the carrying amount of goodwill net of accumulated amortization up to the beginning of the year ended 2008 less allowance for impairment. 6.3 Notes 23 and 33, a subsidiary, Park Opera Co., Ltd., has uncertainty regarding to a lessor may terminate its lease agreement because the subsidiary has defaulted to repayment of rental charge. At present, the Company is seeking a finance resource to develop the project. 6.4 December 2008, amounting to Baht 1,946.81 million. The Company is in the process of debts restructuring with other finance institute (Note 21), a subsidiary had been unable to repay the debenture’s interest in the forth quarter of 2008 and its debenture has redemption due in December 2009 (Note 22), as shown in the balance sheet, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets as at December 31, 2008 by Baht 971.61 million, the company and subsidiary have contingent liabilities form litigating (Note 32), provision for liabilities from litigation and a subsidiary has defaulted payment (Note 33) and is seeking a finance resource to develop the project at present. As a result, the continuing operation of the Company in the future substantially depends on (a) the success of the restructuring debt and (b) its ability to operate successfully in the future and has adequate cash flows from operations. These matters indicate the existence of a significant uncertainty about the Company’s and subsidiaries’ ability to continue its operation as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company and subsidiaries will continue its operations as a going concern.

Starting from 1 January 2008, the Company changed its accounting policy from amortization of goodwill to discontinuing amortization of goodwill and recognizing the carrying amount of goodwill net of accumulated amortization up to the beginning of the year 2008 less allowance for impairment. As at 31 December 2008, the management fully provided the allowance for impairment of this goodwill. The effect of the change reflected the Company discontinued amortization of goodwill for the year ended 31 December 2008 of Baht 5.37 million.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS 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. The significant accounting judgments and estimates are as follows: 4.1 Finance leases/ Operating leases The Company and subsidiaries have entered into lease agreements for the rental of motor vehicles. The Company and subsidiaries have determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, that the lessor retains all the significant risk and rewards of ownership of these properties, and so accounts for the contracts as operating leases. 4.2 Allowance for doubtful accounts Allowances for doubtful accounts are intended to adjust the value of receivables for probable credit losses. The management uses judgment to establish reserves for estimated losses for each outstanding debtor. The allowances for doubtful accounts are determined through a combination of specific reviews, collection experience, and analysis of debtor aging, taking into account changes in the current economic conditions. However, the use of different estimates and assumptions could affect the amounts of allowances for receivable losses and adjustments to the allowances may therefore be required in the future. 4.3 Impairment of investments The Company and subsidiaries treat investments as impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below their cost or where other objective evidence of impairment exists. The determination of what is “significant” or “prolonged” requires judgment.

M & C Property Service Company Limited was sued by ACL Bank Public Company Limited in the Bankruptcy case. On 12 February 2008, the Central Bankruptcy Court ordered M & C Property Service Company Limited to be under absolute receivership, the Company is filing a claim in such case. On 9 January 2009, the Company sued Panya Holding Company Limited requesting the court to dismiss the completeness of liquidation and order new liquidation process because the Company has not yet received loan repayment from Panya Holding Company Limited. As for other companies, the Company is closely monitoring the progress for the most benefit of the Company. Nonetheless, the Company is not the only creditor, thus, in the case that other creditors enforce loan repayment for the overall benefit of the Creditor, such as bankruptcy lawsuit or the debtor request for enforcement under the rehabilitation plan. The Company has to file for debt repayment according to the related laws. Therefore, there is no need to file for civil lawsuit, which will cause the Company to bear extra expenses. Also, to minimize timing risk, the Company has given notification to the debtors and have the debtors acknowledge their debt or other proof of evidence of debt by affirming the debt burden that will maximize the benefit of the Company. For the debtors that ignored the Company’s notification, the Company will file civil lawsuit if possible. d) Short-term loans from related companies and interest payable (Unit : Thousand Baht) As at 31 December
