Subject : Submission of Financial Statements for the quarter 2/2007
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 second quarter ended
June 30, 2007 which have been reviewed by the certified public accountant.
Revenues
For the second quarter of 2007, the Company achieved Baht 15,172
million consolidated revenues, 8.9% increased from the same period last year.
The growth was mainly contributed by high sales growth of food products and
sales from new Makro stores, i.e. store 30 (Sa Kaeo)
opened on 24 January 2007 and store 31 (Ko Samui) opened on 25 April 2007.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated selling and administrative expenses increased from the
same quarter last year by 10.7%. The increase was mainly due to operating cost
for 2 new Makro stores.
Net Profit
Net profit was recorded at Baht 282 million, 18% over the same
period last year. The increase was attributable to sales growth and opening of
new stores as above mentioned.
Contingencies
The 5-year warranty in respect of selling all investments of
subsidiary company, Makro Auto Care Co.,Ltd., made in 2002 was expired in this
quarter and no claim against warranty was made during the warranty period.
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 598 million for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2007, according to the consolidated financial
statements. However, the Company financial statements over the same period
showed a net income of Baht 508 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
six-month period ended June 30, 2007 and the comparable period in 2006
decreased by Baht 90 million and Baht 101 million, respectively. (that is,
decreased by Baht 0.38 per share and Baht 0.42 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
