Subject : Submission of Financial Statements for the quarter 3/2007
To : Director and Manager
Stock Exchange of Thailand
Enclosed please find the Interim Consolidated and Company Financial
Statements of Siam Makro Public Company Limited for the third quarter ended
September 30, 2007 which have been reviewed by the certified public accountant.
Revenues
For the third quarter of 2007, the Company achieved Baht 15,043
million consolidated revenues, 8.5% increased from the same period last year.
The growth was mainly contributed by high sales growth of food and non-food
products and sales from 3 new Makro stores operated during nine months of this
year, i.e. store 30 (Sa Kaeo), store 31 (Ko Samui) and store 32 (Buriram).
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated selling and administrative expenses increased from the
same quarter last year by 13.7% due mainly to operating cost for 3 new Makro
stores as mentioned above and pre-opening expenses for other new stores under
construction.
Net Profit
Net profit was recorded at Baht 301 million, 12.5% decreased from the
same period last year. The decrease was explained by the higher corporate tax
than last year due to non recurring realization of taxable loss of selling
impaired asset in the same quarter last year. With comparison on the same
basis, net profit was 3% higher than that of last year.
Change in Accounting for Investments
Since 1 January 2007, the Company has changed its accounting policy
for investments in subsidiaries in the Company financial statements from the
equity method to the cost method in compliance with the Federation of
Accounting Professions announcement. The Company applies retrospective
adjustments. Thus the Company restated its financial statements by using the
historical cost as the cost of the investments in subsidiaries of the Company
financial statements. This adjustment caused the net income on the Company
financial statements to differ from that reported in the consolidated
financial statements. The Company had net income of Baht 899 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, according to the consolidated
financial statements. However, the Company financial statements over the
same period showed a net income of Baht 838 million. Therefore, the Company
would like to clarify with the additional information as follows:
1. After a change in accounting for investments, net income for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 and the comparable period in 2006
decreased by Baht 61 million and Baht 192 million, respectively. (that is,
decreased by Baht 0.25 per share and Baht 0.80 per share, respectively.) This
is because the Company financial statements did not include any share of
profits from investments.
2. The effect from the restating to other items on the Company
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, such as investments
in subsidiaries and the retained earnings on the balance sheets, decreased by
Baht 1,806 million. The cumulative effect of the accounting policy has been
presented under the subject of "Cumulative effect of the change in accounting
policy for investments in subsidiaries in the Company financial statements" in
the Statements of Changes in Shareholders Equity.
However, the change of accounting policy affected only the Company
financial statements. It did not have any effect on the consolidated financial
statements or business fundamentals.
Please be informed accordingly.
Yours faithfully,
Siam Makro Public Company Limited
