or 11.17%,net profit Baht 197.94 million decreased from the previous year
by Baht 53.58 million or 21.30%
Due to:

compared with the previous year due to easing local economy.
2. Thai Baht strengthened by 9% relative to US Dollar results in
decreasing profit to revenues.
3. The decreasing ratio of expenses is lesser than the decreasing
ratio of the sales revenue.
The company changed its accounting policy on investment in
subsidiaries in the separate financial statement from the equity method to
the cost method in quarter 1/2007 according to the new regulation in TAS
44. The effect from the restating in the comparative financial statement
caused the increase in the beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2007
by the amount of Baht 1.51 million to Baht 1,431.72 million and the
decrease in the beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2006 by the
amount of Baht 4.37 million to Baht 1,319.32 million. This affects the net
profit of the year 2007 as follows.
(million Baht)
Net profit : in the separate financial statement
2007 2006
The cost method 190.92 257.40
The equity method 197.94 251.52

However, the change of accounting policy affects only the related

statements and business fundamentals.
