Siam Makro Public Company Limited Notes to the Interim Consolidated and Company Financial Statements (Unaudited) For the nine-month period ended 30 September 2000 and 1999 1 Accounting Policies The interim consolidated and company financial statements are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in Thailand as required by Thai Accounting Standard No. 41 "Interim Financial Reporting". In addition, the primary financial statements (i.e. balance sheets, statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, retained earnings and cash flows) are presented in the full format as prescribed by the Ministerial Regulation No. 7 (B.E. 2539) in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's and the Stock Exchange of Thailand's requirements. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 1999. The Group has implemented the following new Thai Accounting Standards, effective 1 January 2000, in these interim financial statements: TAS 41 - Interim Financial Reporting TAS 44 - Consolidated Financial Statements and Accounting for Investment in Subsidiaries TAS 45 - Accounting for Investment in Associates TAS 47 - Related Party Disclosures The comparative figures, where appropriate, have been adjusted or extended to take into account the requirements of those newly effective standards. In addition, in the third quarter ended 30 September 1999, the Group has changed its accounting policy in respect of capitalisation of certain intangible assets including Deferred development rights and Pre-operating and start-up expenses. The Group has accounted for this change retrospectively by adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as at 1 January 1999. The effects of the change are presented in Note 10. Costs that incur unevenly during the financial year are recognised as expense or deferred in the interim report only if it would be also appropriate to recognise or defer such costs at the end of the financial year. Income tax expense is recognised based on the best estimate for the year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 1999 annual financial statements. 2 Segment Information Financial information by business segments For the three-month period ended 30 September 2000 Wholesale Land and Retail Service Rental Business Business Business Elimination Total Million Million Million Million Million Baht Baht Baht Baht Baht Sales and services income 9,346 292 65 (66) 9,637 Operating profit 278 2 51 - 331 Income tax (95) Net profit 236 2 Segment Information (Continued) For the three-month period ended 30 September 1999 Wholesale Land and Retail Service Rental Business Business Business Elimination Total Million Million Million Million Million Baht Baht Baht Baht Baht Sales and services income 8,925 273 65 (65) 9,198 Operating profit 164 2 51 - 217 Income tax (71) Net profit 146 For the nine-month period ended 30 September 2000 Wholesale Land and Retail Service Rental Business Business Business Elimination Total Million Million Million Million Million Baht Baht Baht Baht Baht Sales and services income 26,771 858 196 (198) 27,627 Operating profit 852 7 153 - 1,012 Income tax (299) Net profit 713 For the nine-month period ended 30 September 1999 Wholesale Land and Retail Service Rental Business Business Business Elimination Total Million Million Million Million Million Baht Baht Baht Baht Baht Sales and services income 24,380 771 196 (198) 25,149 Operating profit 557 (4) (13) - 540 Income tax (220) Net profit 320 The Company and its subsidiaries operate 3 major businesses as follows : - Cash and carry wholesale business of merchandise and retail business of office supplies. - Automotive service centers and gas stations. - Land investment and property leasing to affiliated companies. 3 Significant Unusual Item Charged to Operating Profit The following unusual item has been charged to the operating profit during the interim period.
