It has not yet commenced trading operations. Investments in marketable securities Investments in marketable securities, which are available for sale, are stated at fair market value. Gains or losses on revaluation of the securities are charged directly to shareholders' equity and recognised as income or expense in the statements of income (loss) when such securities are sold. Fair market value is determined at the closing price of the Stock Exchange of Thailand at the balance sheet date. In the absence of such prices, fair value,which is derived from the net present value discounted at an appropriate rate of return, is applied instead. Spare parts and supplies Spare parts and supplies are stated at cost less provision for obsolete stock. Cost is calculated based on the moving average basis. The inventories are categorised as "specific spare parts", which are used for specific plant equipment, and common spare parts which are for general use. The provision for specific spare parts is calculated by dividing the balances of specific spare parts and supplies on hand at the year end by the number of years remaining under the Power Purchase Agreements with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand. The provision for common spare parts is generally provided, based on an aging analysis. Investments in subsidiaries, associates and others Investments in subsidiaries and associates are accounted for under the equity method. Investments in others are accounted for under the cost method.

The two subsidiaries have entered into the Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with EGAT. The agreements are effective for periods of 15 and 20 years. According to the resolutions of the Cabinet's meetings dated February 15, 1994 and January 23, 1996, the electricity revenues from such agreements are calculated based on 'Cost plus basis'.There is a limitation of sales of electricity to third parties as specified in the agreements. These agreements have been pledged as collateral with the lenders under the MasterAgreements. Under the PPAs with EGAT, the subsidiaries are eligible to take into consideration the exchange rate effects to adjust the formulae for the calculation of revenues from the portion of capacity payment charged to EGAT each month, pertaining to The First Amendment to Power Purchase Agreements, dated January 30, 1998, over the periods of the PPAs. The compensation amounts for the third quarters ended September 30,1999 and 1998 totalled Baht 193 million and Baht 208 million and for the nine-month periods ended on the same date totalled Baht 520 million and Baht 774 million,respectively. Under the PPAs, EGAT has to bear the natural gas cost until the subsidiaries enter into a natural gas purchase agreement with the Petroleum Authority of Thailand. Therefore,the calculation of revenues from the portion of energy payment does not include a calculation of the natural gas cost. On July 20, 1998, EGAT informed the subsidiaries that they should negotiate with the Petroleum Authority of Thailand in order to enter into a natural gas purchase agreement. However, on August 10, 1998, the subsidiaries requested EGAT to continuously bear the natural gas cost and EGAT agreed with these requests on August 25, 1998.

The compensation forsuch services is calculated based on 'Cost plus basis' and is adjusted annually according to the Consumer Price Index. The agreements are effective for a period of six years,commencing on October 3, 1994 and May 14, 1996, and can be extended for an additional period of six years. These agreements have been pledged as collateral with the lenders under the Master Agreements. Short-term investments 6. As at September 30,1999, a subsidiary pledged fixed deposits as security in respect of a performance bond amounting to 30 million. Deposits at banks and financial institutions used as collateral 7. Deposits at banks and financial institutions used as collateral of the two subsidiaries are mainly cash reserves to be maintained under the loan agreements referred to in notes 9 and 10, for the purpose of repayment of principal and interest due within one year and a reserve to minimise the exchange risk. These cash reserves are provided from the proceeds of sales of electricity. As at September 30, 1999 and 1998, the cash reserves, which are for the purpose of repayment of principal and interest due within one year, amounted to Baht 4,856 million and 4,489 million, respectively.
