Notes to the interim company financial statements and consolidated financial
statements - September 30, 1999 continued
Egcom Tara Company Limited has been acquired during the third quarter
of 1999. 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.

of income (loss) and the consolidated statements of income (loss).

Account receivable - trade is due from the Electricity Generating Authority of
Thailand (EGAT), one of the major shareholders of the company, being in respect
of sales of electricity.
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 two subsidiaries have entered into Major Maintenance Agreements with EGAT
forthe latter to provide major maintenance services, repair services, administrative
services and additional services related to the subsidiaries' power plants. 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. The remaining balances of Baht 2,730 million
and Baht 2,633 million as at September 30, 1999 and 1998, mainly represent Holding
accounts of both subsidiaries and Borrower's accounts of Khanom Electricity Generating
Company Limited, which must be maintained in accordance with the loan agreements.
The cash reserve for minimising the exchange risk represents deposits in US Dollar.
The two subsidiaries have to provide this reserve until such account equals the
lower of 25% of the aggregate outstanding unhedged US Dollar loans or an amount
of US Dollars 103 million. As at September 30, 1999, the reserve was fully complied
with the above.
