A summary of the significant accounting policies of the company, which have been applied consistently, is set out below: Basis of preparation The financial statements are prepared in accordance with and comply with accounting principles generally accepted in Thailand.Basis for consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Siam Makro Public Company Limited and its subsidiary companies as follows: % of interest Makro Properties Limited 99.99 Makro Auto Care Company Limited 99.99 Makro Office Centre Company Limited 99.99 Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The minority interest is immaterial and not, therefore, shown separately in the consolidated financial statements. Property, plant and equipment All property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of the assets on a straight-line basis over the expected useful economic lives of the assets, which range from 5 - 20 years. Land is not depreciated as it is deemed to have an indefinite life. Leasehold rights are amortised by the straight-line method over the period of agreement, which range from 6 - 26 years. Allowance for doubtful account Allowance for doubtful account is provided according to the estimated losses that may be incurred in the collections from accounts receivable. The estimated losses are determined by the collection experience and the current status of accounts receivable. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined on the latest purchase price which is approximate to cost determined on a first-in first-out basis. Net realisable value is the price at which inventories can be sold in the normal course of business after allowing for the costs of realisation. Provision is made where necessary for obsolete, slow-moving and shrinkage inventories. Unaudited Reviewed Siam Makro Public Company Limited Page 14 Notes to the consolidated financial statements and financial statements 30 September 1999 continued Foreign currencies Trading transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Thai Baht at the exchange rates ruling when the transactions are entered into. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Thai Baht at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date and the forward contracted rate. Exchange gains or losses arising from the application of forward contracted rate are deferred and amortised by the straight-line method over the period of forward contracted rate agreements. Exchange gains or losses arising from the application of exchange rates at the balance sheet date are included in the statement of income. Investment Investment in companies in which Siam Makro Public Company Limited holds more than 20% of the share capital and over which the company exercises significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. The investment is initially recorded at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is increased or decreased to recognise the company's share of the profits or losses of the investee after the date of acquisition and to take account of any dividends received. Provision for retirement benefits Provision for retirement benefits is made for employees whose length of service exceeds 3 years and is normally payable on termination of service. The calculation is based on the latest basic salary multiplied by the years of each employee's service as set out in the company's retirement benefits plan. Provision for warranty claim Provision for warranty claim represents the estimated liabilities due under warranties given on products and services of a subsidiary company. This provision is calculated based on claim history and management 's expectation of future claim. Impairment of assets The carrying values of assets are reviewed annually and provisions for impairment loss will be set up whenever it is considered necessary and are recognised in the statement of income. Change in accounting policy 2. In this quarter, in accordance with the recent developments in International Accounting Standards and Thai Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the company reviewed its accounting policy in respect of capitalisation of certain intangible assets including Deferred Developments Rights and Pre-opening and start-up expenses. As a result of this review, the company has changed its accounting policy to expense such costs as incurred. The company therefore has accounted for the change in accounting policy retrospectively by adjustments to the opening balance of retained earnings as at 1 July 1999 and 1998 and as at 1 January 1999 and 1998.
