(Translation) Ref. SS./ 1409 / 2007 14 May 2007 Subject : Clarification of the effect from Changing Accounting Policy for investments. To : President The Stock Exchange of Thailand Sansiri Public Company Limited ("the Company") would like to report on the effect of the change in accounting for investment in subsidiary companies as follows: In the three-month period ended 31 March 2007, the Company changed its accounting policy regarding investment in subsidiary companies so that separate financial statement, which formerly reported investment using the equity method, now reports using the cost method, This is to comply with TAS 44. Thus the company restated its financial statement by using the historical cost as the cost of the investment in subsidiary companies of the separate financial statement. This adjustment caused the net income on the separate financial statement to differ from that reported in the consolidated financial statement. The Company had net income of Baht 41.52 million for the three-month period ended 31 March 2007, according to the consolidated financial statement. However, the separate financial statement over the same period showed a net income of Baht 50.18 million. Furthermore, the Company would like to clarify with the additional information as follows: 1. After restating, net income for the three-month period ended 31 March 2007 and the comparable period in 2006 increased by Baht 8.66 million (Baht 0.01 per share) and decreased by Baht 26.23 million (baht 0.02 per share), respectively, This is because the separate financial statement did not include any share of profits or losses from investments. 2. The restating on the separate financial statement for the quarter ended 31 March 2007 affected to investment in subsidiary companies and the shareholders equity on the balance sheets, decreased by Baht 6.88 million. The cumulative effect of the accounting policy has been presented under the heading of Changes in accounting policy in the separate financial statement in the statement of changes in shareholders equity. However, the change of accounting policy affects only the separate financial statement. It did not have any effect on the consolidated financial statements or business fundamentals.
