MESSAGE FROM THE

PRESIDENT & CEO
2009 was a crucial year for Natural Park Public Company Limited as this year witnessed the Company’s continued effort to solve the problems which last since 2007. Last year, the Company was successful in settling important legal cases, and entered into the debt restructuring agreement with major financial creditor. This success resulted from the good support of the Company’s Board of Directors, management team, and all shareholders over the past period. This further strengthens the Company’s financial status and increases its capability to launch new projects in the future. Besides, the Company has successfully obtained strategic partners from both a group of investors from Bahrain and the Crown Property Bureau to invest in Siam Kempinski Hotel and Kempinski Residences Siam Project, the 5-star hotel and serviced apartment situated adjacent to the Siam Paragon Shopping Complex. Decorated in a contemporary Thai architectural style, the project will be surrounded by a peaceful natural garden among the central business district. As for the progress of the construction of the hotel with 303 units and serviced apartment with 99 units, over 90% of the project has been completed and expected to be opened in the second quarter of 2010. In 2010, the Thai economy is expected to continually recover after proving that its fundamental factors are strong enough to cope with the effects of the global economic fluctuations. Similarly, N-PARK has determined to find the best solutions for the Company’s problems for the optimum benefits of all related parties according to the N-PARK’s business practice. Finally, I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to all shareholders for a great deal of encouragement and generous support until the Company could achieve its goal to stabilize the financial status. I would like to thank all clients, business partners, governing authorities, and financial institutions that have given us their cordial support and confidence. This gratitude is also owed to Company’s Board of Directors, management team, and all staff members who have devoted themselves by working untiringly and with utmost determination throughout 2009.

NATURAL PARK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED GENERAL INFORMATION
08
GENERAL
INFORMATION Natural Park Public Company Limited (“N-PARK”) was established on 23 June 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 the 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 15 February 1993 and a public company on 3 February 1994. Thailand’s economic crisis in 1997 severely affected all business segments including the real estate market. In 2000, the Company was unable to repay debts to several creditors on time. 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 13 February 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 BuyDevelop-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, the Company sold some of its assets, for instance, the Sofitel Sukhumvit Hotel which was sold to investors from Bahrain. The Company also sold some of its stakes in Bangkok Metro Public Company Limited and Syntec Construction Public Company Limited. 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 2009 Since 2007, N-PARK has put its best effort to strengthen the Company’s credit stability through 5 major ways: seeking solutions for the bankruptcy cases in the past, negotiation with debtors, capital increase, finding strategic partners in each investment project, and sale of assets. As a result of the continual effort to strengthen the Company’s credit stability and the good support of the shareholders, in 2009 N-PARK was able to end the bankruptcy case with Thai Ocean Life Insurance Company NATURAL PARK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED GENERAL INFORMATION

INFORMATION Limited, and also reached the agreement to entered into the debt restructuring agreement with Krung Thai Bank Public Company Limited. Settlement of Major Bankruptcy Cases
On 3 February 2009, the Company entered into a compromise agreement with Thai Ocean Life Insurance Company Limited (“OCEAN”), and this brings an end to the bankruptcy case which lasted for over a decade. Signing of the compromise agreement is the consequence of the following events. On 7 November 2008, the Company received the Southern Civil Court judgment which ruled that the Company shall pay OCEAN the principal of Baht 200 million with 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 would be fully repaid. The Company’s Board of Directors considered such matter and viewed that although such debt happened 12 years in the past before the Company entered into the rehabilitation process, the current situation requires the Company to compromise in order to lower the Company’s debt reserve burden and strengthen the Company’s financial status. Also, the settlement of the bankruptcy case is crucial for the Company’s survival. Within 4 months after the full payment made by the Company to OCEAN, OCEAN shall file the petition with the Central Bankruptcy Court to withdraw the appeal of the bankruptcy case sued against the Company. Therefore, the Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company on 29 January 2009 resolved to enter into a compromise agreement with OCEAN. The Company agreed to pay Baht 200 million to settle the civil and bankruptcy cases with OCEAN. The conditions on payment in installments are as follows: (1) On the date of entering into a compromise agreement and the Court of Appeal ordered accordingly, the Company shall pay cash in the amount of Baht 75 million. (2) Within 15 March 2009, the Company shall either transfer 50,968,148 ordinary shares in Bangkok Metro Public Company Limited or transfer other assets acceptable by OCEAN or cash of Baht 19,893,270. (3) Within 15 April 2009, the Company shall either transfer 134,645,926 ordinary shares in Bangkok Metro Public Company Limited or transfer other assets acceptable by OCEAN or cash of Baht 52,553,365. (4) Within 15 October 2009, the Company shall either transfer 134,645,926 ordinary shares in Bangkok Metro Public Company Limited or transfer other assets acceptable by OCEAN or cash of Baht 52,553,365. On 3 February 2009, the Company entered into a compromise agreement with OCEAN and the Court of Appeal ordered accordingly.

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.

Competition Situation and Growth Trend Thailand’s tourism situation in 2009 is poised to face the lowest growth since the Asian financial crisis in 1997, reminiscent of the post-9/11 terrorist attack period, as well as the SARS epidemic and Tsunami Disaster. Apart from the global recession and the outbreak of H1N1 influenza, which the WHO has set at the Phase 5 pandemic level, Thai tourism has also been crippled by domestic political instability. KASIKORN RESEARCH CENTER (KResearch) holds the view that the riots during Songkran and the spread of the H1N1 influenza will affect Thailand’s international tourism business in 2009, causing it to deteriorate even more from 2008 than thought before. The number of international tourist arrivals to Thailand in 2009 may total around 11-12 million persons, falling 20 percent from 2008, wherein tourism revenue should fall to only THB380-400 billion, dropping 25 percent YoY. The H1N1 influenza outbreak is still an important variable that must be monitored closely.

In 2009, Thailand’s tourism, especially the foreign tourist market, has been plagued with numerous negative factors, both domestic and external. They included an unprecedentedly poor image toward safety and security for foreign tourists, especially those from short-haul Asian markets due to domestic political unrest and airport seizures by anti-government protesters late in 2008 and Songkran riots early this year. The global economic crisis that has discouraged international travel, especially tourists from Europe and America. The outbreak of H1N1 flu that first erupted in Mexico and then spread swiftly to the rest of the world including Thailand, being a major hindrance to airline travel, especially to the affected countries. As a result, tourist arrivals to Thailand have dropped drastically since late 2008. The number of foreign tourists in 1H09 is thus expected to total some 6.53 million - down 17 percent YoY from the 7.88 million during 1H08, when there was a 13 percent growth YoY. Of this number, 50.5 percent came from short-haul markets in East Asia that saw a contraction of more than 20 percent YoY, compared to the 16-percent growth last year. This was followed by European tourists, accounting for 28.5 percent, which posted a decline of 10 percent YoY, versus the 10-percent growth recorded in 2008. Notably, tourist arrivals from almost all regions experienced decreases, except those from South Asia and the Middle East - accounting for some 5.5 percent and 3.5 percent of the total visitors, respectively - that showed increases of 2 and 10 percent. Previously, the foreign tourist market had been widely projected to see an improvement in 2H09 with growth resuming in the final quarter of this year. However, tourist arrivals are now expected to deteriorate until 3Q09 before experiencing revival later this year. Among the negative factors would be - The Songkran riots that severely affected confidence toward personal safety and security among foreign tourists. The H1N1 flu that has hampered international travel since 2Q09. Unfavorable economic conditions in major tourist markets, especially Europe and America, despite positive signs toward recovery. Thailand’s tourist arrivals in 2H09 are therefore expected to slow at a decelerating rate, and may start to see a turnaround later this year. The number of foreign tourists in 2H09 is projected to total around 6.0 million, a YoY decline of 10 percent, compared to 6.6 million recorded in 2008, when there was an 11 percent contraction YoY. KASIKORN RESEARCH CENTER (KResearch) therefore forecasts that tourist arrivals in 2009 may total 12.53 million, a decrease of 14 percent YoY, compared to 14.54 million seen in 2008 which recorded growth of 0.5 percent. This would generate some THB400 billion in tourism-related income, dropping 23 p percent - or over THB100 billion - from the estimated THB520 billion earned in 2008

LENÔTRE’s business rapidly increased in France until 1985 when the Accor, a world-class hotel and services management group, becomes the restaurant’s major shareholder and expands LENÔTRE’s business into various forms of services in connection to the bakery shops and French cuisine, luxurious restaurants, culinary schools, and catering business. LENÔTRE’s business is well-recognized by customers around the world and now there are more than 30 branches worldwide such as Germany, Morocco, the United States of America, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Tunisia, Japan, South Korea, and Thailand. LENÔTRE business started in Thailand in 2004 by Park Cuisine Company Limited (the Company’s associate) who was granted a sole license to produce and sell LENÔTRE products in Thailand. In three years, the Company opened four branches in leading department stores in Bangkok, and also expanded business to catering service business. One of the key competitive strategies to the tremendous success and worldwide recognition of LENÔTRE branches in Thailand and around the world is the unique image of real French taste pastry and food which have been passed on by the founder - Mr. Gaston LENÔTRE - who gives importance to “quality, creativity, and enthusiasm”. Also “knowledge transfer” is emphasized as all LENÔTRE staff are trained by professional chefs in LENÔTRE France. The quality of LENÔTRE’s products in Thailand has been enhanced in terms of technology, research, and the best quality materials which may not be found in the country.

The Company’s direct sales channel is through the 3 forms of 4 branches of LENÔTRE restaurants: CAFE LENÔTRE, LENÔTRE Boutique and Catering Services. The Company has also chosen to provide different services in different branches in accordance to the location and the lifestyle of the customers in order that the products and services of LENÔTRE could access the customers and respond to the needs of the target customer group.

Competition Situation and Growth Trend At the end of 2009, the bakery market was more vigorous than the same period of the previous year as a result of the rising spending of people since the early 4th quarter till the present. This is in line with the economic situation which has started to recover although in the beginning of the year the overall market was affected by the negative factors in the country. Nonetheless, the Company still believes that the business value of the bakery market will grow continually, particularly the catering business. This is because of the changing habit of consumers who tend to organize parties at homes, companies, or offices which are more private and cheaper when compared to the parties in hotels. The events to launch new products by PR companies also contribute to the growth of the catering business. The growth of LENÔTRE Exclusive Catering Service in Thailand is well recognized by high profile customers both private and corporation. The demand is continuously increasing although the Company has not advertised. Most of the customers who are impressed with our food design and taste spread positive word of mouth to other customers, making it more recognized among target customers who appreciate art to living and eating.

RISK
FACTORS Operational Risk Natural Park Public Company Limited’s apartment business is still good because most of its foreign customers tend to rent for a long term. The Company is not much affected by external factors whereas the apartment business as a whole remains stable. The sign of economic recovery in the fourth quarter of 2009 is expected to have positive effect on the apartment business in 2010. The hotel industry has been impacted by political situation especially during the Songkran holidays, and the pandemic spread of swine flu in 2009. This caused the lower occupancy rate and higher competition atmosphere where hotels tried to attract customers by offering discounts of room prices. In addition, the bankruptcy of the USA-based Lehman Brothers which holds the debentures which the Company issued has impact on the additional construction of Novotel Beach Resort Panwa Phuket. N-PARK has sued Lehman Brothers for damages and the case is presently under the hearing of the court. 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: Siam Kempinski Hotel and Kempinski Residences Siam Project to be opened in the second quarter of 2010. In terms of construction and renovation, the interest rates have been continually decreased this year and the cost of construction materials remains stable. These favorably benefit the administration of construction projects.
Financial Risk As at 31 December 2009, the Company’s total current assets were Baht 236.64 million and the total current liabilities were Baht 3,235.72 million. Besides the negative operating cash flow, the Company faced the net loss for the year ended on 31 December 2009 in the amount of Baht 499.72 million (including minority shareholders’ equity), leading to the shareholders’ equity of Baht 115.85 million. Consequently, the auditor noted that the Company’s loss mainly resulted from the estimated liabilities for the legal cases with creditors in the Rehabilitation Plan and the Company’s ability to follow the debt restructuring agreement. Besides, the subsidiaries did not pay for the debentures which reached maturity in December 2009 and the interest. N-PARK and its subsidiaries may have the liabilities resulting from legal proceedings. The Company’s large amount of estimated liabilities and its subsidiary’s default on payment of rent significantly indicate the uncertainty of the Company’s and its subsidiary’s continual operations. Nevertheless, the Company has acknowledged these problems and puts its best effort to find solutions. In the early 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.) In the same year, N-PARK entered into the debt restructuring agreement with Krung Thai Bank Public Company Limited (“KTB”), which allows the extension of the repayment period for another two years and the MLR rate. This will benefit the Company in terms of reduced interest burden and better financial liquidity. N-PARK follows the agreement and repays the debt as specified by KTB. Moreover, the Company entered into the compromise agreement with Thai Ocean Life Insurance Company Limited (“OCEAN”) to end the legal cases and fully repaid Baht 200 million as mutually agreed in the agreement. As a result, N-PARK had the profit from the debt restructure in the amount of Baht 161.20 million. Later on 15 February 2010, OCEAN filed the petition with the Central Bankruptcy Court for withdrawal of an appeal of the bankruptcy case. Other cases are currently being heard by the relevant courts as detailed in Litigation Risk. As for the payment of debentures which reached maturity in December

FACTORS 2009, the subsidiary filed the lawsuit against Lehman Brothers to the Bangkok Southern Civil Court requesting the court to order Lehman Brothers to pay the remaining undrawn amount. The case is currently under the hearing of the Court. The subsidiary, therefore, temporarily holds activities related to the debentures. Nonetheless, the Company is considering the best solutions for the problem by taking into account the benefits of shareholders and the Company.
Dividend Payment Risk As at 31 December 2009, the Company had a total deficit of Baht 8,463.69 million. Consequently, the Company cannot pay dividends to all shareholders in pursuant to law and the shareholders have the risk of not receiving dividends according to the dividend payment policy of the Company.
Litigation Risk The Company was sued in several cases, most of which involve its business rehabilitation. This is considered the major problem the Company is now facing. Last year, N-PARK entered into a compromise agreement with OCEAN to end the legal cases as mentioned in Financial Risk. However, as at 31 December 2009 the Company recorded Baht 1,140.30 million as the estimated liabilities as a result of court judgments involving the rehabilitation process: 1) payment to ACL Bank Public Company Limited in the amount of Baht 741.40 million as ordered by the court on 6 July 2007; 2) payment to Sathorn Asset Management Company Limited in the amount of Baht 212.69 million as ordered by the court on 4 March 2009; 3) payment to Nakornthon Bank Public Company Limited via its subrogee-Bangkok Commercial Asset Management Public Company Limited-in the amount of Baht 130.45 million as ordered by the court on 29 May 2009; and 4) the case between the Company and the official receiver of Thananakorn Finance and Security Public Company Limited in the amount of Baht 55.75 million as ordered by the court on 22 December 2009. The mentioned cases are currently under the hearing of the Court of Appeal. Other cases are currently being heard by the relevant courts, and are not final yet. The details appear in Item 7 Litigations section.

LITIGATIONS 6. Bangkok Commercial Asset Management Co., Ltd. (right user for Nakornthon Bank Pcl.

It is noted that the amount that the plaintiff receives debt repayment from the 2nd defendant (amount of Baht 1.04 millions) in accordance with the entity rehabilitated plan of the 2nd defendant is deducted out of the principle balance that will have to repay. The Company, thus, recorded “the gain on reversal of provision for liabilities” amount to Baht 33.39 million in the statement of income for year ended on 31 December 2009. This results from the interest rate as the sentence less than the plaint. The case is presently under the consideration of the Appeal Court.

Moreover, presently, the case is under the consideration of the Supreme Court. (2) The defendant no. 1, the Central Bankruptcy Court has ordered the definite wealth protection. The plaintiff has filed the petition to receive debt repayment.

Currently, the Civil Court has scheduled the date for witness testimony of defendant on 9 March 2010. The lawyer of the Company deems that the request for new trail by the official receiver is not just because the plaintiff is not the Company’s creditor and the Company does not have outstanding debt with the plaintiff.

The Company’s lawyer deems that as the Central Bankruptcy Court has ordered to absolute receivership all assets of the Debtor since June 4, 2007. The plaintiff has requested for the settlement, therefore this is not explicit on the portion of assets of Debtor to be paid to the plaintiff according to Bankruptcy Court case. As the results, this settlement amount to the plaintiff will be effected to the compensation amount of the guarantors including the Company. b) Other litigation cases 1.

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 204 million and Baht 225 million respectively, and the share of net gain (loss) for the years of Baht (15.34) million and Baht (0.17) million respectively which was calculated on the basis of financial information for the years ended 31 December 2009 and 2008 of an Apartment Property Fund provided by the Fund Manager. The financial information has not yet been audited 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, exception for the effect of any adjustment that might be required to the financial statements for the years ended 31 December 2009 and 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 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated and company’s results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended of Natural Park Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries and Natural Park Public Company Limited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 5) Without additional qualifying my opinion, I draw the attention to the following notes to financial statements: 5.1) As discussed in Note 29, the Company has litigation issues and the cases are presently under the hearing of the Court.

3. 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: 3.1 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. 3.2 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.

The determination of what is “significant” or “prolonged” requires judgment. 3.4 Depreciation In calculating depreciation of plant and equipment, the management estimates useful lives and salvage values of the plant and equipment and reviews estimated useful lives and salvage values if there are any changes.

Investments in the subsidiary and associated companies as recorded in the Company’s book is accounted for cost method and investment in associated company in the consolidated financial statements is accounted for under equity method. Under this method, the investment is recorded at cost and for each subsequent year the investment is adjusted to incorporate the Company’s proportionate share of the operating results in the subsidiary. However, the Company will record additional loss on its investments in associated company only upto an amount equal to the commitments and guarantees it has. Investments in available-for-sale securities are determined at fair value. The change in value of securities is recorded as a separate item in shareholders’ equity until securities are sold, the change shall be included in determining earnings. Fair value of marketable securities is based on the latest bid prices of the last working day of year quoted by the Stock Exchange of Thailand. Investments in non-marketable equity securities, which the Company holds as other investment, are valued at cost. Weighted average method is used for computation of cost of investments. 4.6 Joint venture Cost method is applied in the separate financial statements. 4.7 Investment in property fund Investment in the units of a property is treated by the Company as investment in an associated company and recorded as cost method in the Company’s book and equity method in the consolidated financial statement. The financial statements of the property fund are prepared under accounting policies which differ from those of the Company in some respects. However, for the purpose of recording the Company’s interest in the equity of the property fund, the Company has not adjusted the property fund’s financial statements to state then under the same accounting policies as applied by the Company because the amount is immaterial to financial statements. 4.8 Land held for future development Land held for future development is stated at cost less provision for impairment (if any).

Buildings and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and provision for impairment (if any). Depreciation is calculated on the straight line method to write off the cost or the revalued amount of each asset, except for land which is considered to have an indefinite life, to its residual value over the estimated useful life as follows: Building on leasehold land, building improvements and leasehold rights Building, land and building improvement Integral fixed plant Furniture, fixture and equipment Hotel operating equipment Vehicles
Remaining lease period 5-40 years 20 years 5-10 years The remaining quantity from physical count 5 years

Estimated recoverable amount is the higher of the anticipated discounted cash flows from the continuing use of the asset and the amount obtainable from the sale of the asset less any costs of disposal. Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined by reference to their carrying amount and are taken into account in determining profit/loss from operations. Expenditures for additions, renewals and improvements, which result in substantial increase in an asset’s current replacement value, are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are recognized as an expense when incurred. 4.10 Leasehold rights of land and building Leasehold rights of land and building are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of leasehold right is calculated by reference to its cost on a straight-line basis over the period of lease. 4.11 Capitalization of borrowing costs The Company and its subsidiaries capitalize interest cost and other financial charges relating to the construction and supply costs as part of the project costs. The capitalization of the borrowing cost will be discontinued when the construction is completed and ready for intended use, or when construction is suspended and until active development resumes.

Leases of assets which substantially transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased equipment or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated to the principal and to the finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The outstanding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other long - term payables. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the statement of income over the lease period. The equipment acquired under the finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or the lease term. Leases of assets under which all the risks and benefits of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the statements of income over the lease periods. 4.13 Currency translation Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Baht at the rates of exchange ruling on the transaction dates. Realized gains and losses on exchange are recognized as income or expenses in the statements of income as incurred. Monetary assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Baht at the rates of exchange ruling on the balance sheet date. Unrealized gains and losses on exchange are recognized in the statements of income as incurred. The assets and liabilities of foreign entities are translated to Baht at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date. The revenues and expenses of these foreign entities are translated to Baht at the monthly average exchange rates of the transactions incurred. 4.14 Financial instruments The Company and subsidiary have no policy to speculate in or engage in the trading of any financial derivative instruments. Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet include bank balances, investments, trade receivables, trade creditors, loans and debentures. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item. 4.15 Basic loss per share Basic loss per share determined by dividing the net loss for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. 4.16 Use of accounting estimates Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates for certain accounting transactions, affecting amounts reported in the financial statements and notes related thereto. Subsequent actual results may differ from these estimates. NATURAL PARK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 The movements of short-term loans from related companies and interest payable for the years ended 31 December 2009 and 2008 were as follows: (Unit : Thousand Baht)

The Company, thus, recorded “the gain on reversal of provision for liabilities” amount to Baht 33.39 million in the statement of income for year ended on 31 December 2009. This results from the interest rate as the sentence less than the plaint. The case is presently under the consideration of the Appeal Court . 5) On 27 October 2005, the official receiver of a financial institution has notified to the Company to repay the interest of debenture in the amount of Baht 31.91 million which the Financial Sector Restructuring Authority had auctioned to other persons. The Company submitted the objection against the official receiver’s order to the Central Bankruptcy Court. On 22 December 2009, the Central Bankruptcy Court issued the order to amend the order of the official receiver that the Company has to repay the default interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum of the principle, the unpaid interest, in the amount of Baht 31.91 million commenced from 19 January 2000 until it is completely repayable to the official receiver of such financial institution. Apart from the amendment, the order will be retained as the official receiver’s order. On 5 February 2010, the Company submitted an application for expanding the period of appeal against the Central Bankruptcy Court’s adjudication. And the Court allowed the Company can submit the appeal within 11 March 2010. However, the Company has recorded the provision for liability from the Central Bankruptcy Court’s order.
b) Provision for liabilities from default rental charge The Subsidiary, Park Opera Company Limited, defaulted to repayment of rental charge under the lease agreement at the “Siam Paragon Trade Center” (Note 22) since the Company has encountered the crisis in confidence. As defaulted payment, the subsidiary recorded provision for liabilities at the rate of 18% per annum of defaulted rental charge and the lessor shall have the right to cancel such agreement. At present, the Company is seeking a finance resource to develop the project.

The Company’s lawyer deems that as the Central Bankruptcy Court has ordered to absolute receivership all assets of the Debtor since June 4, 2007. The plaintiff has requested for the settlement, therefore this is not explicit on the portion of assets of Debtor to be paid to the plaintiff according to Bankruptcy Court case.

30.2 Credit risk The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to credit risk primarily with respect to trade accounts receivable from the hotel, space rental, and property development businesses. The Maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amounts of receivables as stated in the balance sheet. However, due to the large number and diversity of the entities comprising the Company and its subsidiaries’ customer base, the Company and its subsidiaries do not anticipate material losses from debt collection. 30.3 Foreign currency risk The Company and subsidiary companies’ exposure to foreign currency risk relates principally to their receivables, payables, loans which are denominated in foreign currencies.

exposures, the Company is also exposed to the effect of foreign exchange movements on its investments in foreign subsidiary companies, which currently are not hedged by any derivative financial instrument.

30.4 Fair value Since the majority of the financial assets are short-term and that the loans carry interest at rates close to current market rates, the management believes that the fair value of financial assets and liabilities does not materially differ from their carrying value.
31. GOING CONCERN OF THE COMPANY The Company has suffered recurring loss from operations, net loss for the year ended 31 December 2009 and 2008, amounting to Baht 343.11 million and Baht 1,946.81, million respectively which is mainly form the provision for liabilities from litigation that incur from creditors in the rehabilitation plan and the Company’s ability to perform on the debt restructuring agreement (Note 17,20), a subsidiary had been unable to repay the debenture’s interest and its debenture has due in December 2009 (Note 19), as shown in the balance sheet, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets as at 31 December 2009 and 2008 by Baht 1,594.94 million and Baht 971.61 million, respectively the company and subsidiary have contingent liabilities form litigating (Note 29), provision for liabilities from litigation and a subsidiary has defaulted payment (Note 20) and is seeking a finance resource to develop the project at present. These matters indicate the existence of a significant uncertainty about the Company’s and subsidiaries’ ability to continue its operation as a going concern. Accordingly, they do not include any adjustments relating to the recover ability of the carrying value and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue its operation as a going concern.
32. RECLASSIFICATION Certain amounts in the financial statements for year 2008 have been reclassified to conform to the current year, with no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity.
33. APPROVAL OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The financial statements were approved for issue by the Management of the company. NATURAL PARK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
