Currency exchange losses (gains)
10. Currency exchange losses (gains) mainly relate to the conversion of long-term loans in
US Dollar to Thai Baht at the closing rate as follows :
September 30, 1998 US Dollar 1 = Baht 39.4737
June 30, 1998 US Dollar 1 = Baht 42.5897

Share of profits from subsidiaries for the third quarter and nine-month period of 1998 includes
gains on exchange of Baht 893 million and Baht 2,478 million respectively.
Extraordinary item
11. On July 2, 1997, the Ministry of Finance declared the adoption of an immediately
effective managed floatation of the Thai Baht against foreign currencies. Two subsidiaries
recorded the exchange losses for the third quarter and the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1997 of Baht 3,622 million as deferred exchange losses and presented the
loss as a deduction from shareholders' equity which was not in compliance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
However, in the presentation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31,
1997, the two companies changed the method of accounting to write off the exchange
losses in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles. The presentation of these
exchange losses as an extraordinary item is in compliance with the announcement of the Institute
of Certified Accountants and Auditors of Thailand no. 002/2540 - 2542 dated September 19,
1997. The financial statements and consolidated financial statements for the third quarter and
the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, therefore, have been restated to reflect
proper accounting for the exchange losses.
