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 nine-month period ended 30 September 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 217.06 million for the nine-month period ended 30
September 2007,according to the consolidated financial statement.
However, the separate financial statement over the same period showed
a net income of Baht 198.85 million. Furthermore, the Company would
like to clarify with the additional information as follows:
1. After restating, net income for the nine-month period ended
30 September 2007 and the comparable period in 2006 decreased by Baht
18.22 million (Baht 0.01 per share) and Baht 13.37 million (baht 0.01
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 30 September 2007 affected to investment in subsidiary
companies and the shareholders equity on the balance sheets, decreased
by Baht 96.87 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.
Please be informed accordingly.
Yours sincerely,
(Mr. Wanchak Buranasiri)
Senior Executive Vice President
