Message from the Chairman

Mr. Sompoch Intranukul

Last year saw the first fruits of the efforts undertaken to strengthen Raimon Land after the global financial crisis. Under new leadership, the Company has made a number of important changes: 1. Increased market share: Raimon Land expanded its traditionally foreignfocused customer base to embrace the thriving domestic demand for condominium units. As a result, sales across all projects made a huge leap forward whilst the proportion of Thai buyers increased from 38% to 70% within two years, thereby reducing the company’s reliance on any given foreign market volatility. 2. Improved governance: The Company has put in place new corporate governance procedures greatly improving the organizational transparency, efficiency and accountability. Reporting lines were simplified, authority levels were set, clear compensation plans were put in place and new departmental policies are consistently being implemented. Furthermore, new corporate functions were established including full time legal counsel and in-house internal audit, reporting directly to the independent audit committee. 3. Simplified corporate structure: Raimon Land’s corporate structure has been rationalized and simplified. The Company is taking 100% control of all core projects and divesting non-core assets. 4. Reduced overheads: Administrative, marketing and advertising costs have been reduced in line with industry standards whilst maintaining all key functions and distribution channels. 5. Debt restructuring: Gearing has been reduced to more comfortable levels and debt has been restructured on a long term and lower cost basis.

Annual Report 2010


These measures have been critical to strengthening the Company and putting it on a sustainable growth path going forward. While the new strategy has involved a lot of upheaval and change at Raimon Land, the Company’s dedication to the highest standards of property design and client service has certainly not changed. Neither have its core competitive advantages: a commitment to insightful market intelligence and analysis, innovation in all aspects of our business – and not least integrity in the way we interact with all our stakeholders. On that note, and on behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank our shareholders, management, staff and other stakeholders for their tremendous support and patience through this challenging phase in Raimon Land’s story. We hope you will stay with us in the year ahead and share the rewards that we will surely reap in the not-too-distant future.

Message from the CEO

Mr. Hubert Mr. R. Viriot Hubert R. Viriot

I am pleased to report that Raimon Land returned to profitability in 2010 with a consolidated net profit after tax of Bt 98 million and EBITDA of Bt 337 million. Income recognition from sale of residential condominium units increased from Bt 3,099 million in 2009 to Bt 3,471 million in 2010 (+12%) whilst cost of unit sold increased by only 1.7%. As a result, the Company’s gross profit margin increased from 26% in 2009 to 33% in 2010. During the same period, the Company’s selling and administrative expenses declined from 27.4% of sales in 2009 to 19.4% in 2010. Cost of advertizing in particular was trimmed down to 2.3% of turnover in line with industry standards. Importantly, the Company’s cashflow was strongly positive. Cashflow from operating activities was over Bt 0.8 billion in 2010 while cashflow from investing activities was just under Bt 1 billion (the latter primarily a result of non-core land divestment). As a result, we were able to achieve a major reduction in gearing with total net interest-bearing debt cut by over Bt 1.2 billion. The Company’s debt profile has also been restructured with the refinancing of nearly all our debt to a long term basis and at lower cost. These encouraging figures are the first indication of the turnaround we have been working towards over the past 24 months. At the heart of the new strategy, Raimon Land has focused its attention on Thai customers, with a diversification of its product to include both high-end and topend clientele. As a result, our sales have increased strongly and the proportion of our sales to Thai customers has risen dramatically.

Annual Report 2010


Going forward, Raimon Land has a bright future with nearly Bt 25 billion (sold and unsold inventories) in cash revenues to collect from existing projects alone, of which nearly Bt 9 billion has already been secured in sales contracts. On top of this we are planning a regular programme of new launches in both the highend and top-end market segments – at least one new multi-billion baht project per year. In 2010, we launched 185 Rajadamri, Raimon Land’s most exclusive project to date, located on the last remaining freehold plot of land on Rajadamri road. With 268 condominium units, the project is expected to fetch Bt 9.6 billion by the time it is completed in 2013. In 2011, we have an aggressive expansion plan with at least two new launches including our third project in Pattaya and our first shopping mall in Bangkok. This will be the Company’s first foray in income generating assets and is part of our long term risk diversification. I would like to thank all Raimon Land stakeholders from our staff and management through to our banks and shareholders for their hard work, loyalty, patience and support over the past year. Our commitment to delivering quality residential developments to our clients will remain our primary focus in 2011 and beyond.

Gross Profit With the revenue increasing more rapidly than expenses, the Gross profit margin of the Company and its subsidiaries increased from 26% in 2009 to 33% in 2010.

Selling and Administrative expenses Selling and administrative expenses are the second major expense of Raimon Land, accounting for 22 percent of the total expenses in 2010. The selling and administrative expenses decreased from Baht 850 million in 2009 to Baht 671 million in 2010, an equivalent of 21 percent decrease, mainly due to the following factors: - In 2009, the Company’s selling and administrative expenses were affected by three exceptional one-off items: the loss from steel purchase; the loss from assets disposition; and severance pay. - In 2010, the Company reduced its operating costs including salary and benefits (-4%), management remuneration (-13%) and other expenses (-67%) - Owing to the above-mentioned saving, the Company managed to reduce its overall selling and administrative expenses in spite of the higher transfer cost the Company had to incur in 2010 due to the expiration of government incentives.

Reduction of interest receivable on loans to jointly controlled entities The Company reduced the interest rate charged on loans to two jointly controlled entities from 15 percent per annum to 7.5 percent per annum retroactively effective from the initial date of the loan agreement. The reduction of Baht 94 million is adjusted to the Company’s accrued interest receivable on loans to jointly controlled entities.

Impairment loss of land awaiting sales In 2009, one of the subsidiaries of Raimon Land entered into a sales and purchase agreement to sell land at the price of Baht 726.8 million, or Baht 188.9 million less than book value. Accordingly, the Company had to make an equivalent provision for loss from impairment of land value. The land was fully paid and transferred in January 2010, in accordance with the sales and purchase agreement.

Share of loss from investment in joint venture In 2010, a jointly controlled entity of Raimon Land sold land at a price lower than the value of the loan and accrued interest which the jointly controlled entity owed to financial institutions and the Company. As a result, the Company realized a higher amount of loss from its investment in the jointly controlled entity from 2009.

Finance cost Most of the finance cost from project development borrowing is capitalised as project development cost until project completion. In 2010, the Company had lower finance cost than last year because the Company repaid short-term loans from financial institutions and the major shareholder.

Net profit (loss) In 2010 Raimon Land and its subsidiaries made a net profit of Baht 98 million, while in 2009, Raimon Land and its subsidiaries had a net loss of Baht 271 million. Earnings per share was Baht 0.03 (2009: loss per share was Baht 0.08).

Assets The total values of Raimon Land’s assets remained more or less stable in 2010, declining by less than 1 % compared to 2009. Major changes in assets are listed below. 1.

Annual Report 2010


2. Other current assets, which consist mainly of land awaiting to be sold declined by 70% as the Land eventually was sold in January 2010. 3. Long-term loan to jointly controlled entities reduced by Baht 681 million from the previous year since the loan and accrued interest was repaid to the Company by the two entities.

Liabilities The Company’s total interest bearing debt as at 31 December 2010 declined by Baht 1 billion, from Baht 5.6 billion in 2009 to Baht 4.6 billion in 2010. Ownership transfers at various projects enabled the Company to repay short-term loans from financial institutions thereby reducing the amount of interest bearing debt. Non-interest bearing liabilities rose by Baht 0.8 billion, from Baht 1.7 billion in 2009 to Baht 2.5 billion in 2010. This was due to increased deposits received from customers.

Shareholders’ Equity At the end of 2010, the shareholders’ equity of the Company equals Baht 2,529 million, an increase of 4 percent from 2009.

Cash flows In 2008 – 2010, the Company’s net cash flows from operating activities were Baht (1,471) million, Baht (469) million and Baht 349 million, respectively. In 2010, the net cash flows from operating activities show that the Company received a Baht 349 million in net cash flows from operating activities since the ownership transfers of condominium units purchased by customers was on schedule and the deposits received from sales booking increased. In 2008 – 2010, the Company’s net cash flows from investing activities were Baht (633) million, Baht (76) million and Baht 988 million, respectively. In 2010, the net cash flows from investing activities show a positive number since the Company received Baht 712 million from the sale of land and Baht 322 million from short-term loan repayments received from jointly controlled entities. In 2008 – 2010, the Company’s net cash flows from financing activities were Baht 1,940 million, Baht 543 million and Baht (1,090) million, respectively. Borrowing from financial institutions is the main funding source for the Company’s project development. The net spending position in net cash flows from financing activities resulted from the Company’s repayment of short-term loans to financial institutions and the major shareholder.

Liquidity Overall, the Company’s liquidity improved from the prior year. The Company received Baht 349 million from operating activities, received Baht 988 million from investing activities and spent Baht 1,090 in financing activities.

Loan repayment to financial institutions and the major shareholder in 2010 has made the Interest-Bearing Debt to Equity ratio decline from 2.23 times to 1.72 times reflecting the improvement in the Company’s debt service ability and future borrowing capability.

Market review 2010 overall proved to be a favorable environment. Despite a temporary lapse in the second quarter following the political violence in the capital, the Thai GDP grew by 7.8% beating most Asian countries. The Stock exchange of Thailand broke the psychological mark of 1,000 points, rising up 43% y-o-y in 2010. General confidence of consumers also ended up 4.0% higher than it was in 2009. However, while the property industry still had the tax incentive in the beginning of 2010, raising fears of inflated prices and potential oversupply led the government to impose strengthened measures on housing loans in Q4/2010 –the maximum loan to value ratio for commercial banks is now reduced to 90% of property values and the increment of the interest rate. Most developers believed that such measure would not impact much on the demand to buy the properties. In the case of Raimon Land, which traditionally requires buyers to make deposits ranging from 25 to 40% of the selling price, this change in housing loans LTV had no impact.

Condominium Market Review In 2010, the share of interest in condominiums versus landed houses rose significantly. Amongst the 105,152 housing units registered in 2010, 54% were apartments and condominium properties. In fact, most listed developers switched their interest to condominiums, and achieved presale records this year, with Baht 72.2 billion worth of condominiums sold in 2010. Out of the 21,686 new units launched off-plan in 2010 by listed developers, 59% were in the low end segment with prices below 2 million baht, 39% were located along the existing BTS/MRT stations, while the few 2% were located in the heart of Bangkok with prices over Baht 10 million. Following intensive competition from newly completed developments in the city center, the rising development costs and the reduction in homebuyer affordability, mass developers have expanded to the city outskirts to capitalize on future mass transit routes and ongoing infrastructure plans.

Annual Report 2010


Despite resilience in international tourist arrivals, standing at 15.8 million in 2010, the condominium industry in resorts areas was relatively stable. Destinations which rely on foreign prospects such as Phuket, Samui and Krabi have relatively underperformed other resort destinations close to Bangkok such as Pattaya and Hua Hin. In Pattaya, 12 projects were launched in the second half of 2010 and, while sales volume to foreign buyers was partially impacted by the appreciation of the Baht against the USD and Euro, the strong domestic demand offset such decline. As a result, the condominium market has switched from large holiday homes–with price tags of 10 million baht plus–to weekend homes, more affordable, more compact with prices below 5 million baht.

Outlook for 2011 On the supply side, we are expecting the peak of completions to be reached and believe the new physical units coming to the market will be less in 2011 and 2012. On the demand side, we continue to see a strong interest for condominiums as opposed to landed houses in Bangkok. We may see more low-rise condominiums popping up in the city and its suburbs to cap rising development costs and reduction of visibility for the developers (to predict the market for long periods of development). Most probably an acute interest will occur at the low-end for new mass transit routes such as Purple and Red lines. Additionally, we expect the market to consolidate with more transactions in pre-owned condominiums. End-users will drive the growth for 2011, therefore the key objectives are to maintain the affordability and the confidence of homebuyers despite rising development costs and political uncertainties.

Raimon Land Customers Thai nationals are the single most important group of buyers for Raimon Land with approximately 2.8 billion baht of sales to this market segment in 2010. Adding the 291 million baht in sales to foreigners living in Thailand, our domestic demand represents 70 percent of total sales in 2010. Our international demand secured 1.2 billion baht, with France, Switzerland, and Australia the top three nationalities of foreign buyers. Europeans were by far the most active market with 12.6 percent of total sales in 2010, followed by a growing demand from Asia totaling 8.8 percent of sales. Moving forward, the profile of our customers has been reshaped over the past few years and we believe it will continue to change in the coming years as the whole world map is now switching towards the East. We see great potential in China and other Asian countries such as India, South Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia. Most importantly, we see our domestic markets becoming stronger and this trend will continue and remains the first priority for the Company.

CSR review Raimon Land’s dynamic corporate social responsibility (CSR) program continued in 2010 as the company strives to make an impact through supporting an array of charities and foundations. Representing the company’s dedication to assist the non-profit organization, Habitat for Humanity Thailand, in providing low-income families with simple and affordable housing, Raimon Land visited a Muslim community in Map Ta Phut municipality in Rayong in April 2010 to build houses for local residents. Raimon Land is an active supporter of initiatives which improve the environment and help raise environmental awareness in Thailand. Our developments are equipped with environmentally-friendly infrastructure, which help to reduce energy consumption and lower the carbon footprint of our buildings. The company also continued its efforts to improve the environment through supporting the company-funded tree nursery in Khao Yai, operated by the Plant-A-Tree-Today Foundation. Raimon Land employees and clients took part in the trip to Khao Yai having previously visited Baan Sap Tai with PATT to educate children on environmental issues and supported the establishment of a tree nursery of growing saplings. Since its birth in 2008, Raimon Land’s adopted female calf elephant, Pang Raimon, has been placed in a natural habitat at the Anantara Elephant Camp in Chiang Rai province. Our long-term sponsorship commitment to supporting Pang Raimon ensures that one of Thailand’s national symbols and one of the world’s threatened species remains in proper care for the rest of her life. A large contingent of Raimon Land employees also voluntarily participated in the donation to the relief fund set up by Channel 3 after a catastrophic earthquake struck Port-au-Prince, the capital city of Haiti, leaving a total of 3 million people heavily affected.

Annual Report 2010


For 2011, Raimon Land will continue to maintain a strong corporate social responsibility program through the conventional monetary support towards a variety of charities and foundations. At the same time, the company’s intention is to put more focus on contributing more manpower towards helping the underprivileged and developing a better environment by involving more employees as well as the generous support from existing clients.

Remarks

Nature of Transaction

Relationship

Value of Transaction (Baht)

Connected Transactions Summary of connected tramsactions in 2010

The purpose of granting financial assistance to Development is to provide for ample working capital and to fund real estate project development. The transaction is the Company’s normal course of business. The Company will benefit from Development’s success in project development progression as planned.

The interest rate of not more than 15 percent (Raimon Land is responsible for withholding tax) to be paid to IFA is an appropriate rate. Given the prevailing economic condition and situation, no financial institution will lend without requiring significant amount of collateral hence the condition offered by IFA is better than that of a typical financial institution.

Opinions of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee


Necessity and reasonableness of transactions In entering into such connected transactions, the Company considered that such transactions were necessary and reasonable. The transactions were carried out in the best interests of the Company and generally in line with normal business practice. The relevant consideration, fee and commercial terms were based on the fair market price of the like transactions between the Company and other non-related parties. There was no transfer of benefits between the Company and any person with potential conflict of interest or interested party. The Company’s Audit Committee acknowledged and agreed with the decision made and the action of the Board of Directors and/or the management by taking into account the appropriateness of entering into all connected transactions in 2010.

Measurement and Procedures for Approval of Connected Transactions The approval for the connected transactions has fully complied with the Securities and Exchange Act, as well as regulations, notifications, orders and requirements of the Stock Exchange of Thailand. Any interested director or person who may have conflict of interest with the Company in any particular transaction will not be allowed to participate in considering and approving the transaction, unless the nature of such conflict of interest is waived by the laws concerning the Securities and Exchange Act, regulations, notifications, orders or rules of the Stock Exchange of Thailand as well as regarding Disclosure of Information and Other Acts of Listed Companies concerning Connected Transactions B.E. 2546.

Policy and Tendency of Future Connected Transactions In the future, the Company may enter into a connected transaction if such transaction will benefit most to the Company. The Company has set out a policy for future connected transaction to be in line with normal commercial business practices with a fair market price which is comparable to the transactions between the Company and other nonrelated parties. The Company is determined to comply with the Securities and Exchange Act, as well as regulations, notifications, orders or requirements of the Stock Exchange of Thailand, including abiding by disclosure requirement of connected transaction and assets acquisition and disposition transaction. In addition, the Audit Committee shall attend the Board of Directors meeting held to consider the approval of any connected transaction, in order to opine on appropriateness of transaction price and reasonableness in entering into the transaction.

Risk Factors 1.

Business Risks Risk of land acquisition for project development Raimon Land does not adopt the use of land bank policy for further development unless it is land which the Company foresees has a high potential for development and at reasonable prices which provide for satisfactory level of return. Seeking and acquiring land in prime areas at reasonable prices are a key risk and a main factor of the success of the business operation of the Company. The Company mitigates the risk of acquiring land for project development by having an extensive network of brokers, directors and executives. This powerful network enables the Company to seek or acquire land in prime areas at reasonable prices. In addition, the Company minimises this risk by giving priority to extensive market research and surveys. The market research and survey results permit the Company to analyse the data for considering and mitigating the risk for the land acquisition effectively.

Risk of project development Raimon Land minimises the risk which is caused by the volatility of construction material costs by employing only one construction contractor and signing the contract as a turnkey construction contract, which permits Raimon Land to effectively control construction costs. In addition, in order to reduce costs, the Company purchases some construction materials directly from suppliers, such as steel and tiles. Moreover, in some cases, the Company reduces risk by proactively fixing the delivered price of construction materials which has a direct impact on the costs of construction in order to eliminate the volatility. In addition to the fluctuation of construction material costs, the shortfall in number of qualified contractors is another problem in the Thai property market. This may impact project quality and delivery schedule. The Company adheres to the following three guidelines in risk management: 1. Raimon Land adopts a project development risk management review and audit system for every project, which includes strictly monitoring contractor selection guidelines, conducting performance tests of key materials (e.g. steel, windows, glass and bricks), seeking new technology, focusing on developing quality construction materials, and improving the construction management system to ensure optimisation of cost and negotiation of material prices to retain the same or better product quality. Mostly, in hiring contractors, the Company enters into a fixed lump sum price contract in order to reduce the risk of cost overrun. In some cases, the Company also makes an advance payment should opportunities arise for cost savings or risk mitigation of cost increases. 2. Raimon Land manages project development risk by hiring external consultants with capabilities, skills and expertise suited for each project. The criteria for selecting these consultants is based on their specific skills, resources, reputation, ability to apply modern technology and materials for cost savings and improving the effectiveness of work and efficient and effective construction method. The consultants suggest a list of contractors/ suppliers for the Company selection. The project manager will then monitor the contractor as well as negotiating the costs. Annual Report 2010

59


3. For every project, the Company will select the main contractor from leading international construction contractors. Contractors are chosen based on their reliability to be solely accountable for a project’s management and construction, design coordination, as well as overall ability to sub-contract or co-ordinate, financial, technology and organisation resources, staff competency, past experience, reputation and reliability in delivering completed work on time and within budget.

Risk of Sales The pace of sales at each project is extremely critical for a condominium developer like Raimon Land. Faster sales help lower the Company’s financial risk and other burdens. Also, this enables the Company to manage the project’s risk more easily because projects with sluggish sales tend to cause a construction delay and lead to increased project costs and a declining net profit. The competitive environment of the premium property segment, the volatility of Thailand’s economic environment and the political uncertainty also affect the sales pace of the Company’s projects. Raimon Land focuses on sales risk management by developing projects on prime sites, brand building, initiating new ideas in project development, understanding the market, and expanding the customer base. The Company believes that the right location is the most important factor in minimizing sales risk. As a result, the Company has invested intensively in research and feasibility studies which include the assessment of project locations, market environment, competition, numbers of competitors, target customers, infrastructure and public transportation systems. Investment in the Company’s brand building is starting to pay off as the Company is gaining renown as a major player in the premium residential market. Raimon Land projects are well accepted domestically and internationally resulting from the value delivered to customers which meets their expectation. Consequently, Raimon Land has a large number of repeat customers who perceive the value of the Company’s projects both in terms of investment assets and as a residence. In addition customer research has increased the Company’s understanding of its market and has been a foundation for its continuous project innovation. These are the two contributing factors that have helped the Company to mitigate the risk of competition and changes in its customer’s behavior as the Company is able to adjust its business strategies to deal with the changing environment and create distinct and suitable products to meet its customers’ needs. Further, the Company is confident that the expansion of its domestic customer base will help mitigate the risks arising from economic volatility both locally and internationally. In 2010, about 30% of the Company’s customers were international buyers from over 20 countries. This customer diversity is a result of the Company’s proactive marketing strategies both locally and internationally.

Risk from regulatory changes The Company minimises risks from amendments in related government agencies acts, codes, and regulations, e.g. the city planning act, the building control act, building design related ministerial regulations - open space ratio OSR, floor area ratio FAR, BMA code, Land Department code, Treasury Department codes as well as regulations on environmental permits especially regarding large and high-rise buildings. This is done by closely monitoring

60

Annual Report 2010


the amendments with the relevant government agencies as well as performing project feasibilities studies and by thoroughly and strictly abiding by acts, codes and regulations of the related authorities. Therefore, the Company is confident the projects comply with relevant acts, codes and regulations strictly. Moreover, in project design, the Company also embraces innovation and technology which are environmentally-friendly.

Financial Risk and Other Possible Risks Risks of obtaining funds for project development Normally, the nature of a condominium project requires substantial funding in the initial stage and the payback period is between 3-5 years. Therefore, the Company’s ability to access a low-cost financial source is among the key factors in determining the project’s success, both from a profitability perspective and a liquidity perspective. In general, developers have three major funding sources: Their own working capital, borrowing from financial institutions, instalments received from customers and down payment and payment received at transfer date of condominium units. Difficulty in seeking financial support usually arises from sluggish sales, instalment delinquency and lack of support from financial institutions. Raimon Land minimises sales risk by selecting good locations, developing quality projects by combining innovation and technology that take into account environmental impact. As a result, Raimon Land is recognised domestically and overseas. Raimon Land’s understanding of its customers also leads to the expansion of its customer base. The collection of down payment at the ratio of 25-40 percent of selling price which is above the industry norm helps mitigate risk from collection of instalments. In addition, Raimon Land has compiled customer classification and has received support from many local financial institutions. The Company believes it will continue to receive financial support as in the past. Raimon Land also has a strong relationship with investors and many private investment funds which give support to the Company for both funding and joint investing in projects.

Risk from interest rate volatility Most of the Company’s borrowings bear floating interest rate or MLR which moves with market condition. Hence, interest rate volatility might impact the Company’s operating results and cash flows. Nevertheless, such interest rate volatility minimally impacts the Company’s operating results and cash flows and in 2011 the Company expects to witness no major change in the market interest rate.

Risk from major shareholder having control over resolution at the shareholders meeting and over the Company’s management IFA Hotels & Resorts 3 Ltd. (IFA HR3), the Company’s major shareholder, held 41.08 percent share of the Company’s registered capital at 2 December 2010. As a consequence, IFA HR3 has held control over the Company’s management, the appointment of directors as well as the majority of the shareholder voting rights for resolutions which required majority ruling. However, IFA HR3 may not vote in the agenda in which it is a party with Annual Report 2010

61


interest. For the benefits of transparency, ability to be audited and checks and balances in operation, the Company has appointed independent individuals to serve as the Company’s independent directors and audit committee members complying with good corporate governance principles of the Stock Exchange of Thailand.

Risk from relying on major shareholders for financial assistance In the past, the Company received financial assistance from IFA HR3, which is the Company’s major shareholder. As at 31 December 2010, the Company had only Baht 3 million of accrued interest outstanding owed to IFA HR3 (at 2009 year end the loan and accrued interest amounted to Baht 551.64 million). At present, the Company does not require financial assistance from IFA HR3. Nonetheless, going forward should the Company need financial assistance; we strongly believe that IFA HR3 would provide such assistance. In the past IFA HR3 has constantly supported the Company whether in granting additional loans or extending repayment periods for principal and interest. The Company is confident it will continue to receive such good support in the future.

Risk from providing financial assistance to subsidiaries and affiliates Raimon Land has provided financial support by way of loans and guarantees to its subsidiaries and affiliates which may create a risk in terms of expenses or liabilities if those subsidiaries or affiliates fail to repay the debts. Nonetheless, the Company’s financial assistance is specifically granted to those entities which the Company has control over and manages. In order to minimize risk, the Company has strictly complied with the criteria outlined by the Stock Exchange of Thailand regarding connected transactions. That is, the Company will request the opinion of the audit committee and the approval of the Company’s board of directors and/or its shareholders’ meeting, if the matter meets the requirements set by the Stock Exchange of Thailand. Additionally, if the Company and/or its subsidiaries have any surplus liquidity, the Company and/or its subsidiaries will, by way of inter-company loans, manage to gain maximum returns and benefits to the group both directly and indirectly, given that the Company is their major shareholder.

Risk from the change of revenue recognition method At present, Raimon Land uses the Percentage of Completion Method for revenue recognition. The revenue recognition will trigger when each project has passed three tests: percentage of project area sold, percentage of collection from each customer and percentage of construction completion. When the project has passed the first two tests, the revenue to be recognized depends on the construction progress. Thai accounting standard (TAS) 18 (amended in 2009) on revenue recognition stipulates that the Company recognises revenue from sale of goods, inclusive of property developed for sales, when the Company transfers significant risks and rewards of ownership to buyer. The impact from such accounting standard amendment is that in the 2011 financial statement, there will be a reversal of revenue recognised in the past years from retained earnings. The consolidated financial statement will show an additional Baht 1,151 million in retained loss carried forward to the beginning of 2011 (single company financial statement will

62

Annual Report 2010


show additional Baht 106 million retained loss carried forward to the beginning of 2011) after the reversal. Nevertheless, the change in revenue recognition method does not affect the Company cash flow, operation and sales ability of condominium units developed by the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company and its subsidiaries will be able to recognise the revenue reversed from retained earnings (losses) due to accounting standard amendment once the Company and its subsidiaries have transfered significant risks and rewards to the buyer in subsequent years.

Risk from the attrition of key personnel The real estate development business relies heavily on the knowledge and capabilities of personnel. To this end, the Company has selected and employed qualified and competent employees who have a high potential for advancement. The Company well recognizes the importance of its personnel and constantly strives to increase morale and enable the personal and professional growth of its personnel through suitable levels of remuneration, benefits, and opportunities for training. As a result, the Company believes that it has minimized the risk of key personnel leaving the Company.

Risk from political environment From 2009 to 2010, there has been much political unrest domestically. Political conflict among the Thai population is affecting local customers’ confidence in government policy and management. Safety has become a concern among foreign customers. As result, foreign investors/buyers of condominium units have receded in number. For these reasons, the Company monitors closely the political situation and may implement a business contingency plan to handle and solve issues which may arise and that may cause a business disruption in the future. The Company mitigates sales risk by focusing more on the more consistent domestic customer base.

Accounting standards that are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after 1 January 2013: TAS 12 TAS 20 (revised 2009) TAS 21 (revised 2009)

Income Taxes Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates

The Company’s management believes that these accounting standards will not have any significant impact on the financial statements for the year when they are initially applied, except for the following accounting standards which management expects the impact on the financial statements in the year when they are adopted. TAS 18 (revised 2009) Revenue This accounting standard requires entities to recognise revenue from sale of goods, which includes real estate developed for sale, when significant risks and rewards are transferred to the buyer. Currently, the Company can elect to use the percentage-of-completion method in recognising revenue from real estate sales. The effect of the change in this accounting policy in 2011 will be to require an adjustment to reverse previously recognised revenues from retained earnings that will increase the beginning balance of deficits in the consolidated financial statements for 2011 by Baht 1,151 million (Separate financial statements: increase the beginning balance of deficits for 2011 by Baht 106 million). However, the Company’s management believes that the change in revenue recognition will have no impact on the Company and its subsidiaries’ cash flows, operations and ability to sell residential condominium units. The Company and its subsidiaries can recognise the revenues which are reversed from retained earnings as a result of the change when they transfer the significant risks and rewards to the buyers in the future.

78

Annual Report 2010


TAS 19 Employee Benefits This accounting standard requires employee benefits to be recognised as expense in the period in which the service is performed by the employee. In particular, an entity has to evaluate and make a provision for post-employment benefits or liabilities arising from other defined benefit plans using actuarial techniques. Currently, the Company accounts for such employee benefits when they are incurred. At present, the management is evaluating the impact on the financial statements in the year when this standard is adopted.

4.

Change in accounting policy During the year 2010, the Company changed its accounting policy for accounting for income tax, whereby the Company now recognises deferred tax assets and liabilities relating to temporary differences. In this regard, the Company has restated the previous year’s financial statements, presented herein for comparative purposes, as though deferred tax were originally recorded. The cumulative effect of the accounting change has been presented under the heading of “Cumulative effect of the change in accounting policy relating to accounting for income tax” in the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity. The effect of this change in accounting policy to the balance sheets as at 31 December 2010 and 2009 and the income statements for the years then ended are as follows: (Unit: Baht) Consolidated financial statements 2010 2009

Significant accounting policies

5.1 Revenue recognition Sales of residential condominium units Sales of residential condominium units are recognised as revenue when contracts to purchase and sell of not less than 40 percent of the area opened for sales have been executed and initial payments have been received up to a certain level. The minimum initial payment to be received is set not less than 20 percent of their selling price. Revenue from sales of residential condominium units is recognised on a percentage of completion method. The percentage of completion measured by the proportion of actual development costs incurred up to the end of the period and the total anticipated development cost to be incurred to completion, excluding the cost of land. The excess of revenue which is over collection, are recorded as “Unbilled completed work” in the balance sheet and the excess of collection which is over revenue, are recorded as “Cash received in advance from customers” in balance sheet. The Company and its subsidiaries will cease revenue recognition for residential condominium unit with contract to purchase and sell which receivable outstanding for more than three installments. Rental and service income Rental and related services income of units in office buildings and residential buildings are recognised on an accrual basis. Interest income Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis based on the effective interest rate. 5.2 Cost of residential condominium units sold In determining the cost of residential condominium units sold, the anticipated total development costs (after recognising the cost incurred to date) are attributed to units already sold on the basis of the sale value and then recognised as cost in the income statement according to the percentage of completion basis. 5.3 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand and at banks, and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and not subject to withdrawal restrictions. 5.4 Trade accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful debts Trade accounts receivable are stated at the net realisable value. Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for receivable outstanding for more than three installments or 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.

80

Annual Report 2010


5.5 Project development cost Project development cost is stated at cost less allowance for loss on diminution in value of projects. The details of cost calculation are as follows: Land

- The Company and its subsidiaries record cost of land separately for each project.

Construction in progress

- Construction in progress consists of the cost of design, cost of construction, public utility costs and interest capitalised to cost of projects. The Company and its subsidiaries record cost of design, construction and public utilities based on the actual cost incurred.

5.6 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction of the projects that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective projects and will be ceased when the projects are completed or when the construction is suspended until active development resumes. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. 5.7 Investments a)

Investments in joint ventures are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method.

b)

Investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures are accounted for in the separate financial statements using the cost method.

5.8 Property, plant and equipment and depreciation Land is stated at cost. Buildings and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and allowance for loss on impairment of assets. Depreciation of buildings and equipment is calculated by reference to their costs on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings and building improvement Temporary show building Furniture, fixtures and office equipment Motor vehicles

20 years 3 years 3, 5 years 5 years

Depreciation is included in determining income. No depreciation is provided on land and land improvement. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on disposal Annual Report 2010

81


of an asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognised. 5.9 Leasehold right and amortisation Leasehold right is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation of leasehold right is calculated by reference to its cost on a straight-line basis over the leasehold period. 5.10 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 associated companies and 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 Company’s operations. 5.11 Impairment of assets At each reporting date, the Company performs impairment reviews in respect of the property, 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 asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, is less than the carrying amount. In determining 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 arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, after deducting the costs of disposal. An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. 5.12 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 rate ruling at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses on exchange are included in determining income. 5.13 Employee benefits Salaries, wages, bonuses and contributions to the social security fund and provident fund are recognised as expenses when incurred.

82

Annual Report 2010


5.14 Income tax Income tax expense represents the sum of corporate income tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current tax Current income tax is provided in the accounts at the amount expected to be paid to the taxation authorities, based on taxable profits determined in accordance with tax legislation. Deferred Tax Deferred tax is calculated based on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, by using the enacted tax rate at the balance sheet date. The Company and its subsidiaries recognise deferred tax liabilities for all taxable temporary differences while recognising deferred tax assets for all deductible temporary differences and tax losses carried forward to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which such deductible temporary differences and tax losses carried forward can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, the Company and its subsidiaries review and reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.

6.

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 from these estimates. Significant judgments and estimates are as follows: 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 Company’s plant and equipment and to review estimates of 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 amount. This requires judgments regarding forecast of future revenues and expenses relating to the assets subject to the review.

Annual Report 2010

83


Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised in respect of temporary differences only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which these differences can be utilised. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of estimated future profits. Project development costs estimation In recognising revenue from real estate sales, the Company and its subsidiaries need to estimate all project development costs, including land costs, land improvement costs, design costs, construction costs, and borrowing costs for construction. The management estimates these costs based on their business experience and revisit the estimation on a periodical basis or when the actual costs incurred significantly vary from the estimation.

The sales value of these agreements was included in this note under the caption of “Value of sales not meeting criteria for revenue recognition” because these sales agreements do not yet meet the criteria for revenue

The Company pledged the ordinary shares of The River Company Limited (Formerly known as “Taksin Hotel Holding Company Limited”) as collateral of a subsidiary’s longterm loans from banks.

shares with a par value of Baht 100 each of The River Company Limited, representing a 15 percent shareholding, for a price of Baht 170.45 per share, or a total of Baht 315 million. Currently, the Company is in the process of purchasing these shares.

Raimon Land Park View Development Company Limited During the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded the allowance for loss on diminution in value of investment in Raimon Land Park View Development Company Limited (subsidiary) totaling Baht 100 million, because the subsidiary had sold its project land to Raimon Land Public Company Limited, as mentioned in Note 10 to the financial statements, and ceased its operations.

The River Company Limited On 14 September 2007, the Company entered into an option agreement to a foreign company to sell 25 percent of the total shares of The River Company Limited (the subsidiary) to the Company at the price of USD 10 million, which is the same price that such foreign company purchased from a former shareholder of the subsidiary, plus financial costs incurred during the shareholding period at the rate of 15 percent per annum. The exercise period of such option ran from 14 June 2008 to 13 September 2009. On 29 April 2009, the 2009 Annual General Meeting of the Company’s Shareholders passed resolutions granting approval for the Company and/or the Company’s subsidiary to purchase 25 percent of the total shares of The River Company Limited. Subsequently, on 22 May 2009, the Company purchased an additional 3,080,050 ordinary shares of this subsidiary, for a price of USD 10.5 million, through payment by quarterly installment since May 2009 to May 2011. As a result of additional purchase of shares, the Company increased its investment approximately Baht 360.7 million and its shareholding increased from 48.84 percent to 73.84 percent of the subsidiary’s registered share capital. The excess of the acquisition price over the attributable net book value of this subsidiary at acquisition date, amounting to Baht 242.9 million, was therefore recorded in shareholders’ equity under the caption of “Excess of investment in subsidiary arising as a result of additional purchase of investment in the subsidiary at a price higher than the net book value of the subsidiary at the acquisition date”. On 14 November 2010, the Company entered into an agreement to extend the repayment schedule to May 2012. As at 31 December 2010, the balance of additional purchase of investment in subsidiary payable amounted USD 7.1 million.

Raimon Land Property Company Limited On 11 October 2010, the Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders of Raimon Land Property Company Limited (subsidiary) passed a special resolution to dissolve the company, and the subsidiary registered its dissolution with the Ministry of Commerce on 20 October 2010 and is in the process of liquidation. The Company fully recorded the allowance for loss on diminution in value of investment in Raimon Land Property Company Limited. During 2010, the Company fully recorded allowance for loss on diminution in value

24. Segment information The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ business operations involve principally a single industry segment, property development, and are carried on in the single geographic area of Thailand. As a result, all of the revenues, operating income (losses) and assets as reflected in these financial statements pertain to the aforementioned industry segment and geographic area.

25. Financial instruments 25.1 Financial risk management The Company and the subsidiaries’ financial instruments, as defined under Thai Accounting Standard No.107 “Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentations”, principally comprise cash and cash equivalents, unbilled completed work, loans receivable, investments, trade accounts payable, short-term and long-term loans. The financial risks associated with these financial instruments and how they are managed is described below. Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Company and the subsidiaries. The Company and the subsidiaries are exposed to credit risk primarily with respect to unbilled completed work, loans receivable and other accounts receivable. The Company and the subsidiaries’ management control such risk by establishing credit limits for customers and counter parties and analysing their financial position as an ongoing basis. As a result, the Company and the subsidiaries do not expect to incur material financial losses. Annual Report 2010

The Company and the subsidiaries are not exposed to concentrations of credit risk because they have a variety of customer base and a large number of customers. In addition, the ownership in residential condominium units is not transferred to the customers until full payment has been received. The maximum exposure to credit risk is therefore limited to the carrying amount of unbilled completed work, loans receivable and other receivables as stated in the balance sheet. Interest rate risk The Company and the subsidiaries’ exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to their cash at banks, loans receivable, short-term loans and long-term loans. However, since most of the Company and the subsidiaries’ financial assets and liabilities bear floating interest rates or 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 2010 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.

Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has a significant foreign currency risk in respect of purchase of investment payable denominated in foreign currencies. The Company manages its exposure to foreign currency risk by considering purchase/sale of forward contracts from time to time so as to reduce exposure to the foreign currency risk which may incur. The Company and the subsidiaries had no forward contracts outstanding at the balance sheet date. As at 31 December 2010, the Company had outstanding balances of financial liabilities denominated in foreign currencies amounting to USD 7.1 million. 25.2 Fair values of financial instruments Since the majority of the Company’s financial instruments are short-term in nature or bear 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 arm’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.
