Annual Report
2005
Messages from the Board of Directors
In 2005 we successfully achieved a sales growth of 12.9% despite the down turn within the retail industry in Thailand where
sales growth has shown a slip in 2005. Makro has also been able to withstand the negative effects in the market, notably rising oil
prices, severe droughts followed by flooding in the North and South of the country, unrest in the south and the continuing impacts from
the Tsunami in 2004.
During 2004 we conducted an intensive expansion plan; we increased the number of stores by 6 to give a total of 29 stores, 8
within Bangkok and 21 located within the provinces. We also successfully completed the re-modelling of 7 stores. In 2005 we
continued with an aggressive action plan, with the re-modelling of a further 9 stores. However 2005 was dedicated to stabilising and
consolidating the business after the extensive expansion programs of 2003 and 2004. Considerable effort was put into optimising and
enhancing the current working methodologies operated in stores with emphasise on standard operating procedures and processes
across the business. Investment in staff through numerous training programs was also a key activity for 2005 as well as a major review
in terms of future business strategies in order to prepare Siam Makro for a successful 2006.
In October of 2005, we hosted the first ever 'HoReCa Extravaganza' at the Impact Exhibition Centre in Muangthong Thani.
This event gave Makro the unique opportunity of bringing specialised suppliers within the hotel, restaurant and catering arena together
with our customers. More than 150 suppliers and industry experts participated in the event, offering to our customers' not only product
information and future initiatives, but an HoReCa Advisory centre, cooking demonstrations, seminars on food hygiene and lots, lots
more. This could not have been achieved without the dedication of our employees and the close partnerships that exists between
Makro and its' suppliers. We, the board of directors would like to take this opportunity to thank all participants for making the first ever
'HoReCa Extravaganza' a success and we look forward to the next 'HoReCa Extravaganza' in 2006.
The Company's trading subsidiaries have continued to perform well in 2005, with Makro Office Centre opening a further five
stores. MOC have also introduced new initiatives into the market such as the 'Contract Delivery' business, which is a dependable and
customised office supplies procurement solution for customers' to optimise efficiency and manage control. Operational efficiency has
also continued to improve in conjunction with enhanced customer care and service. This year we also saw the successful integration of
Siam Food Service, a leading provider of premium food products and logistic services to the food industry, this being strategically
important to reinforce of our position within the food professionals market.
Makro has always been and will continue to be fully committed to our responsibilities within the society. Throughout the year
the Company together with its employees participated in a number of social activities. We have supported the tremendous efforts
being made by the Khun Poom Foundation and in particular, the 'To Be Number 1' program. By allowing events to be held in our store
car parking areas the foundation organisers are able to promote social awareness against drugs. The foundation also raises funds to
foster the development of disadvantaged children and takes care of the autistic, to which we also donated funds. This is a highly
successful joint venture which we will continue to support for many years. Sustaining our drug awareness activities of 2005, we
introduced the 'Clean Factory' project, which ensures we do not employ drug addicts in our stores. Working closely with the Public
Health Authority, random drug testing of our employees is carried out. If problems are detected, a program of treatment will be offered.

Messages from the Board of Directors
The Company also continues to supports The 'Royal Project'. Our involvement is the countrywide distribution and sales in our
stores, of organic fruits and vegetables from the 'Nong Marg Tao Integrated Farm' located in Sakon Nakorn and Muang Ngai. This is a
special Agriculture Project, which is run under the royal patronage of HM The Queen. This project is designed to educate and promote
agricultural techniques for poor rural people. For both locations together with our suppliers we have renovated and provided fully
equipped Fruits & Vegetables preparation rooms. Future activities are also being pursued, especially within the product labelling of
organic produce. For the Tsunami relief our directors, management and employees donated funds from the monies allocated for our
annual staff events to HRH Princess Sirindhornthe. These donations were utilised initially for the purchase of medical equipment
followed by a rehabilitation project. For this project we worked closely with our suppliers and collected donations for the purchase of
household goods for the victims of the tsunami. We also feel it's extremely important to give back to the children. In conjunction with
Hewlett-Packard (Thailand) Ltd. we were able to donate 80 computers to the 'School for Educational' program.
We would like to thank the Board of Directors, employees, management, customers and suppliers for their continued support
in making Siam Makro the leading Cash and Carry in Thailand.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Economics Environment
The strong economic growth that followed the 1997/98 Asian Financial crisis, seeing the Thai economy grow substantially by
6.9% in 2003 and 6.2% in 2004 has slowed in 2005 to an estimated 4.5%. This downturn being attributed to the surge in oil prices,
severe drought in rural regions, flooding the North and South of Thailand, tsunami-related declines in tourism and lower consumer
confidence. However, the Thai economy performed well beginning third quarter of 2005 growing by 5.3%, a faster rate than 4.6% of
the previous year and forecasted fourth quarterly results show a growth of 4.7%. For the first nine months of 2005, GDP stood at
4.4%. After seasonally adjustment, GDP posted the same growth rate for third quarter and second quarter of 2005 at 2.2%. This
strong growth being driven by the Government's new economic measures to boost exports and increase income, thus resulting in
higher exports, and increases in agricultural outputs after a decline for six consecutive quarters.
During the last half of the year, domestic demand slowed whilst external demand showed a significant growth. Domestic
demand sustained growth within private consumption and investment but there are signs for a continuing slow down. This can be
attributed to potential high interest rates, which impacts to the lower spending within durable products and a slowdown in other
products. Exports grew during the first nine months of 2005. However, prices accounted for 16% of the increase and volume just 5%,
due to the drought and downturn in the electronics cycle. Exports are expected to continue to rise in 2006 with exports to partners of
bilateral free trade agreements being accelerated. China, Japan, India and Africa are all forecasted for increases in 2006. Only
Australia will see Thai imports slowing down - from 35% growth in 2005 to 30% in 2006.
Headline consumer price inflation continued to rise, estimated at approximately 4.5% for the year, up from 2.7% in 2004. This
increase mainly reflects rising oil prices and has had a negative effect towards private and government consumption, with growth in private
consumption reducing to 4.4% compared to 5.9% in 2004. Private investment expenditure declined from 15% in 2004, to approximately 11%
in 2005, this also being attributed to a number of facts such as, surges in oil prices, southern unrest, drought and the impact from the Tsunami.
The Stock Exchange of Thailand's performance in 2005 was up on the prior year and the SET index ended the year at 713.73,
up from 668.10 at the end of the previous year.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Revenue
Consolidated sales increased by almost 12.9% to Baht 50,418 million, up from Baht 44,670 million in the prior year. The
continuing growth in like for like sales reflects the successful repositioning and business strategy. On an overall like for like basis, sales
grew by 5.0% with a particularly strong performance in fresh and frozen food sales, which grew massively by 24.4%. This being
attributed to the re-modelling of a further 9 stores in 2005 and the first full year of operating the six new stores that opened in 2004. In
2005, the Company has continued developing our core customers, HoReCa and small retailers of which their sales rose by 20.6% and
14.4% respectively. Non-food sales performed better in 2005, giving a 3.0% growth in sales. Service income grew to Baht 1,503 million
up from Baht 1,282 million in the prior year, a 17.3% growth rate, representing some 2.9% of total revenues. Other income increased
over the prior year, 22.3% up from Baht 306 million to Baht 374 million. Total consolidated revenues were Baht 52,295 million, up from
Baht 46,258 million in the prior year, an increase of 13.1%. Thus reflecting the impact delivery of our strategy throughout our business.
Gross Profit
The absolute amount of gross profit margin rose by 7.4% from 2004. However, the percentage of gross profit margin to total
sales reduced slightly from 6.3% to 6.0%, reflecting change in sales mix and increased participation from the lower margin food
business in line with management's strategy to focus on a wholesale cash and carry business and a one-stop shop for food service.
Selling and administrative expenses
Overall the selling and administrative expenses increased by Baht 472 million to Baht 3,286 million up from Baht 2,814 million,
representing 6.3% of total revenue compared to 6.1% in 2004. This being accounted to the re-modelling program of 9 Makro stores,
first full year operating costs for the new stores, which opened in 2004, and the opening of 5 Makro Office Centres. However, the
increase in selling and administrative expenses was held at a lower rate as selling and administrative expenses per store, both at the
existing stores and at new stores, are tightly controlled. We will continue to make significant gains in productivity and efficiency and at
the year-end, the Group employed 3,173 including the employees of Makro Office Centre and Siam Food Services.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Net income
Consolidated income before interest expenses and taxation was Baht 1,612 million, up Baht 26 million from Baht 1,586 million
in 2005 representing an increase of 1.6%. Comparing to same basis without the special price received upon 2004 new store opening,
the income before interest expenses and taxation was significantly ahead of the growth in underlying sales of 12.9%. Interest rates
increased during the second half of the year improving the interest income, this positively impacts the Company, given its substantial
cash position reflecting its business as a cash and carry operator. Income after taxation was Baht 1,136 million, up some Baht 29
million or 2.6% from Baht 1,107 million in 2004.
Earnings per share
Earnings per share were Baht 4.74 per share for 2005 compared to Baht 4.61 share in 2004, this reflecting the continuing
improvement in net income for the year.
Financial status
The Company's financial status as of 31 December 2005 reflects it's strong trading position, positive cash inflows and
managed investment program. Consolidated total assets have increased in 2005 to Baht 18,968 million from Baht 18,539 million in
2004. Primarily, reflecting the impact of the continuing store investment program, which included investment in property, plant and
equipment amounting to some Baht 649 million, and increased goodwill resulted from an acquisition of Siam Food Services. Additions
to property, plant and equipment being the cost of bringing 5 new Makro Office Centres into service and the continuation of the
refurbishment and expansion of the food area within 9 existing Makro stores.
The Company has maintained its traditional strong working capital position and holds cash and cash equivalent and current
investments at the year-end of some Baht 4,363 million. The high cash and cash equivalent and current investments reflects the very
strong trading performance achieved in 2005. Operating cash flows and existing cash flows funded the store investment program of
Baht 649 million, the super dividend pay-out of some Baht 1,620 million, and the acquisition of Siam Food Service Limited.
The high cash and cash equivalent and current investments at year end also reflects a higher balance of trade accounts
payable, up from Baht 8,211 million at 2004 to Baht 9,068 million. The Company actively manages its trade payables as part of its
overall working capital management program. Other current liabilities increased over the prior year, reflecting the underlying growth in
the business, as current tax liabilities increased reflecting the increased tax arising on profits for the year, and a higher level of
accruals reflecting the increased number of stores.
Inventories have slightly increased from Baht 3,903 million to Baht 4,048 million. With the increased inventory from the acquisition
of Siam Food Services and five new MOC stores being partly offset through reduced inventory levels at existing stores. We continue to
tightly manage our inventory levels as lower value food inventory continues to become a more significant proportion of our total inventory.
The Company is equity financed. There have been no increases in share capital during the year and share capital remains
unchanged at 240 million shares with a par value of Baht 10 per share, fully paid up. The Group has adequate cash and short-term
investment funding with which to fund future expansion and business acquisitions should appropriate opportunities be identified.

Makro Cash and Carry
Since 2001 Siam Makro PLC has undergone major restructuring. The aim has been to reposition the company back into its
original wholesale cash and carry format, whilst at the same time taking into account the unique characteristics of the indigenous
market. This was successfully achieved during 2004 by focusing more on professional customers and by ensuring the nature of the
business was understood by all. During 2005 the extensive re-modelling program of 9 stores to the new format further developed and
supported this strategy. The range of perishable goods was extended and given greater prominence in the stores and the new format
has improved the selection and the displays for the target customer.
The Customers
Knowing who our customers are is essential to ensuring the repositioning within the market successfully continues. Only when
we know who our customers are, we can clearly understand our customers' needs and expectations. This is a number one priority for
Siam Makro PLC.
The main focus area of 2005 was to increase the customer base within the HoReCa customer group. As part of this initiative,
a number of stores went through a re-modelling program, which included widening the sales space for fresh foods and increasing the
product range for the growing popularity of frozen products. This was also supported with a wider range of dry goods, beverages and
related items such as disposable food packaging and tableware. Additionally, the offering of non-food products targeted especially for
this specific market, such as household and electrical goods, has given Makro a greater opportunity to become a key player within the
market share for this customer group. Makro is a 'One-Stop for Food Services' and as oil prices continue to increase, the one-stop
experience is becoming more and more important for the customer's needs.
There are currently 29 Makro stores within the Kingdom of Thailand with each store having its' own specific customer base.
However, the needs of customers located within the Bangkok area and the needs of customers from the provinces are diverse.
Therefore, the introduction of local buyers within stores to complement the strong head office commercial team has been a continuous
activity throughout 2005.
HoReCa Extravaganza - 'One-Stop for Food Service'
2005 was a highly successful year for introducing new initiatives into the Makro business. One of the finest achievements of
the year was the hosting of a unique three-day event. The 'HoReCa Extravaganza' was held at the Impact Exhibition Center in
Muangthong Thani, which offered an exhibition area of 5,000 square meters. This event gave Makro the unique opportunity of bringing
specialised suppliers within the hotel, restaurant and catering arena together with its customers. More than 150 suppliers and industry
experts participated in the event, offering to our customers' not only product information but future initiatives, an HoReCa Advisory
center, cooking demonstrations, seminars on food hygiene and lots, lots more. Over the 3 days 50,000 people attended the event of
which 60% were from the registered customer base. The remaining 40% of visitors were potentially new future customers for Makro.

The Initiatives of 2005
The Management of Inventory has always been a challenging hurdle to overcome within the Wholesale business.
For example, if stock holding is too high the problem of aging stock will arise and if stock is too low then potentially sales are lost.
To alleviate the problems of stock management a number of successful commercial initiatives were implemented within the
commercial area of Food and Non-Food. By combining new working methodologies and new IT tools for the buying teams a significant
drop in the company's stock holding value has been achieved. Also the introduction of a new 'Early Warning System', which identifies
future problems within the management of stock, has given the buyers the opportunity to become more Pro-Active and less Re-Active.
Throughout 2005 working practices and relationships with suppliers continued to be strengthened. By working closely, strong
partnerships have been forged to obtain the best possible deals and opportunities for the customer. Quality supplier relationships also
enabled Makro to address and incorporate factors such as food hygiene and safety into the supply chain operation. This being of great
importance to our customers, as well as to their own customers.
Makro are constantly exploring new value added supply sources, such as the use of auctions to achieve the best pricing for
specific products. Collaboration with other Makro Asia operations and the identification of overseas sources has enables Makro to
directly import certain fruits and vegetables, not widely grown in Thailand. The increasing number of bilateral trade agreements to
which Thailand is party, further increases our opportunities in this area.
Frozen food is a relatively new product range within the Thai market but is becoming more and more popular. In 2005 Makro
introduced a new Frozen Food Catalogue and success has been achieved not only in terms of significant sales growth in 2005, but
also in customer satisfaction. Makro always strives to adhere to the changing market trends and the demands of the customers.
Assortment and Price Competitiveness
Assortment is key to our ability to attract and retain our core customer base. Our customers must be satisfied that our stores
will have the products that they want to buy, at the right price. Assortment represents not only the product range that we offer but also
the choice within that range; for example choice in terms of packaging and sizing, own brand availability and the actual choice of
brands available. Our target customer groups have special and differing buying needs - small retail shops may wish to sell certain
products in small package sizes whilst our catering and hotel customers seek access to larger pack sizes in food categories. Through
close observation of customer buying patterns, we are responsive to the different demands of our core customer base. As we expand
more into the provinces, with our increased focus on food, we can adapt our product offering to the specific needs of the customers in
each location.
Price competitiveness is pivotal to our success and to our ability to attract and stay supplier of choice for our core customer
base. The ability to price competitively is achieved through a variety of factors, not just the price at which we buy from our suppliers.
Improved cost management benefits not only our shareholders through enhanced profitability, but also our customers through
competitive pricing.

Moving Forward in Logistics
Logistics is a fundamental part of Makros' business strategy and in 2004 two cross-docking distribution centres were opened.
The first was temperature controlled fresh food DC in Wangnoi, just north of Bangkok. From this location Makro was able to accelerate
the distribution of Fresh and frozen products to stores, whilst maintaining the highest quality freshness of products. The second DC
was an ambient temperature DC, located near Navanakorn Industrial Estate, which handles dry food and non food products. This DC
was later move to Klonglung Truck Terminal in early 2006 for more operating space and to be more efficient in managing the growth in
volume passing through this DC. As a consequence, there are increased opportunities for obtaining handling and administrative cost
advantages as well as co-ordinated transport, shared warehousing and distribution costs and lower inventory costs throughout the
supply chain. These advantages can then be passed on to our customers by offering the best competitive prices in the market.
Success comes through our People
Makro prides itself on providing a meritocratic working environment by promoting on performance and results. Makro
understands that people are the future and for continuing success, it is imperative to have employees properly trained. Actions were
taken during 2005 to identifying training needs by introducing individual training plans for 'high' and 'young' potentials. In-house
training programs supported by both Makro training personnel and external consultants have been utilised to enhance the skill base
for employees. An extensive Customer Development Training Program was also introduced in 2005 and concentrated on all aspects of
customer management, this initiative will pay subsequently great dividend within the stores and will continue into 2006. Promoting
from within is extremely important to the success of any business and in 2005 a new extensive training program designed for potential
Store General Managers was introduced for High Achievers. Outstanding performances and results from employees are always
recognised and rewarded by means of performance-related rewards on an individually and team bases.

Makro Office Centres
Makro Office Centre is a uniquely structured business. By having two clearly defined business models, the 'category killer niche retailer business' and the 'Contract Delivery' business, MOC is able to target all segments of its customer base as a "Single
Source Solution Provider" for office products, supplies, and services.
MOC's retail stores provide a comprehensive range of office products specialising in office supplies, office automation, office
furniture and business services. There are nineteen stores strategically located in Bangkok and the provincial areas of Thailand,
which target small businesses and walk-in consumers. To further enhance the level of service to customers, credit facilities as well as
delivery and mail order services are offered.
Alternatively the 'Contract Delivery' business, targets medium and large businesses that typically do not buy their office
supplies from a retail outlet. Once 'Contract customers' office supplies needs are identified, pricing is fixed over a defined period of
time (i.e. 12 months) with payment terms and a convenient delivery service to the customers' doorsteps. Combine periodic spend
analysis, web-based ordering and e-procurement (launch in 2006) and the result is a dependable and customised office supplies
procurement solution for customers' to optimise efficiency and manage control. Corporate Account Managers and professionally
trained Customer Service Executives are readily available to provide value-added services as a part of the single source solution.
During 2005 the emphasis was on expansion as well as transition. In Bangkok five new stores were launched; Abdulrahim
Place (January), SSP Tower 3 (March), Samsen (June), Ekkamai (November) and Phayathai in December. As this niche business
continues to grow, so too does the specialist knowledge within the operation of site selection. New store sites are selected by an inhouse committee to identify strategically significant locations.
In 2005, a number of significant management changes were made. The Company introduced clearly defined individual and
company working scopes, empowered Area and Store General Managers and created a flat, accountable working environment. MOC
also introduced a "back to basics" program and where applicable the working standards and processes from Siam Makro were
adopted. Extensive training was conducted in 2005 with the introduction of three core training programs; Phase 1 of "Consultative
Sales Training" program was introduced to the newly formed Contract Delivery sales team as well as the 'Key Success for the Retail
Business' and 'Service the Market' training programs for the Stores. The 'Retail' programs cover all aspects of the business, from
planning, marketing, merchandising, promotion, store operations and business analysis. Promoting from within is extremely important
to the success of any business and in 2005 a new extensive training program designed for potential Store General Managers was
introduced for High Achievers. Outstanding performances and results from employees are always recognised and rewarded by means
of performance-related rewards or 'recognition programs' such as employee of the month.
Communication with consumers is maintained via the monthly 12-16 paged mailer, which is sent to all customers. Building
awareness was a key strategy in 2005 and as a result, the number of targeted mailers and leaflets had increased. The annual
catalogue remains the core of the mail order business and more variety in the assortment is continually added for the customer who
prefers to purchase from his business or home. The catalogue offers some 260 pages, offering more than 8,000 articles with a
distribution of 35,000 copies. Assortment and pricing is continuously reviewed and stores offer an extensive range of international
brands as well as a comprehensive range of competitively priced "Office Centre" exclusive brands for supplies and furniture.
Additionally many stores include a business centre providing copying, printing, laminating and binding service.

Performance in 2005 continued to improve with sales increasing by 13.6% for the year to Baht 1,343 million, giving a growth
margin improvement of 19.1%. However underlying profitability was Baht 37.3 million, a decrease of 25%. Many factors contributed to
this decrease, mainly increased running costs due to the five new store openings and the expansion of the Contract Delivery
business. The number of employees increased by 54 during 2005, taking the total number to 247 as of 31 December 2005.
MOC engages in several activities in aid of charitable organisations and local concerns within the society. In December 2005
all stores participated within a National campaign to donate clothing and blankets for the under privileged. Within each store donation
boxes were provided so customers and employees could donate old clothing, blankets etc. Enough clothing and blankets to fill a large
truck were collected and donated to Wat Seuan Kaew Temple located in Nonthaburi province.
2006 will be a year of investment and consolidation in order to strengthen our foundation for growth. MOC will continue to
expand the retail business by opening stores in Thailand. Major upgrading of the existing technical infrastructure will be undertaken to
enable the successful implementation of a Customer Relationship Management system to manage the Contract Delivery business and
enhancements to the existing web-based ordering system.
The extensive training programs that were introduced in 2005 will continue, including the High Achievers program. The main
focus in 2006 will be on the acquisition of major new accounts for the Contract Delivery business whilst maintaining successes within
all other areas of the business thus allowing MOC to continue to be the leading Office Supplies provider for all segments of customers
in Thailand.

Siam Food Services
The food service industry in Thailand is a well-developed and competitive market with many international brands established
in the kingdom. Thailand has a large population and a growing urbanisation, higher disposable incomes together with an affinity for
trying new food experiences allow for continued market development.
This year marked the successful integration of Siam Food Services Limited (SFS) following its acquisition. The company is a
leading provider of premium food products and logistic services to the food service industry. SFS specialises in the nation-wide supply
of value-added services and highly specific frozen and chilled meat, seafood, poultry, potato, dairy, bakery, ethnic food and beverage
products. Principal customers are in the Full and Quick Service Restaurants, catering, lodging, healthcare, and retail sectors. These
include all major independent and multi-national restaurant operations, hotels and contract food service operations.
The acquisition of SFS is of strategic importance to Siam Makro Plc. (SML), as it provides the company with food service
expertise, distribution capabilities, and access to previously untapped food service channels, particularly the high-end full service
restaurant and hotel sector. In a drive to become the premier supplier to the industry, SFS's services, knowledge and portfolio can be
the differential, adding value and helping to move away from commodity orientation. This is particularly relevant in an industry that is
growing rapidly whilst leveraging buying power and placing increasing service demands on a fewer number of selected suppliers.
In the face of adverse market conditions SFS continued to deliver strong top line growth across existing and new channels.
During 2005 the business excelled in the seafood category and also performed strongly within the savoury and dairy categories.
Bakery sales were disappointing and category reposition is currently being executed. Leveraging the combined strengths of SML and
SFS further diversification towards dry groceries and new customers in catering and institutions was successfully executed. Significant
capital investment was made within Information Technology with the objective to position the company for industry leadership in terms
of Enterprise Resource Planning and Customer Relationship Management. The combat of margin erosion continued high on the
agenda during the year particularly also in the face of rising distribution and finance costs.
The management is confident regarding forward strengths on the basis of organic growth platforms and company initiatives.
Through the addition of services, the dry groceries portfolio differentiation, leveraging the strengths of SML, the company is ideally
positioned to capture market growth opportunities. Planned geographic expansion and productivity increases from Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) implementations will further help combat margin erosion.
Performance in 2005 with sales of Baht 772 million before elimination of sales to Siam Makro Public Company Limited and
Baht 685 million after elimination of sales to Siam Makro Public Company Limited, giving a growth sales improvement of 18.9% over
last year. The underlying profitability was Baht 28 million, an increase of 12% from last year.

Industry and Competitive Environment
Retail Market in Thailand
There are two types of retail business operating in Thailand. One is the unique 'mom and pop' grocery store, traditionally
located in every small community throughout the country. The other type is the modern trade store, which includes not only department
stores, but also other retail outlets. The face of the Thai market has been changing for a number of years. Small traditional
independent retailers are gradually being replaced with modern and often foreign-owned large retail operation chains. In 2005 the
number of retail outlets was more than 4,910 of which over 4,400 were convenience stores, 160 discount stores, 90 supermarkets, 50
department stores and 210 category killers. New shopping experiences are also being introduced into the market such as, the Siam
Paragon which opened in December of 2005, Central World Plaza development which is due to open mid 2006 and malls that are
located underground. All of which are forcing the key players within the market to rethink their approaches.
Key Players within the Retail Market
Discount Sector
In the discount (superstore/hypermarket) sector there are 3 major players, Tesco Lotus, Big C and Carrefour. This highly
competitive sector does not include the cash-and-carry sector, as the sector has different operating characteristics to that of the
hypermarket sector. Tesco Lotus opened 5 new stores and 2 value stores in 2005, bringing their total number of stores to 54
hypermarkets and 13 value stores. Tesco Lotus has also continued to diversify the store formats through which it does business, as
opportunities for the development of large hypermarket store has been impacted by the zoning laws. They now operate through the
Express store, Value store and supermarket formats and is currently trailing a new shop format known as 'Talad Lotus'. Big C being the
second participant within the discount sector, has a total of 45 stores in Thailand. Like Tesco Lotus, Big C has also continued to
explore variable store format opportunities, opening its first Big C "Compact" store in 2004 and a further 5 in 2005. The third major
player is Carrefour, adding more 3 stores in 2005, bringing their total number of stores to 23, the majority of which are located in
Bangkok. As the current zoning regulations continue to impact opportunities for new development, particularly of the larger size stores,
it is anticipated that operators within this sector will continue in 2006, to explore opportunities through the diversification of their
store format.
Cash and Carry Sector
The cash-and-carry sector does not focus on the end user, but on commercial business users, for whom buying is an integral
business function. The cash-and-carry operators, who compete in the same market segment as the traditional wholesalers, experience
slower growth than the hypermarkets, and compete for a different customer segment. Cash-and-carry operators do not necessarily
target the same locations as the discount hypermarkets, as their core customer base is not the same. Furthermore, core customers to
the cash-and-carry operators include the small retailers, the 'Mom and Pop' shops that actually represent competition to the discount
hypermarkets.

Industry and Competitive Environment
Supermarket sector
The competitive supermarket sector is mainly concentrated in Bangkok where the higher levels of consumer income and
sophisticated customer base supports this retail format. The major players are TOPS, Foodland and Villa Market. In 2004 Central
Retail Corporation Ltd re-acquired 100% of its Tops Supermarket business. The Tops brand has strong recognition in the eyes of the
Thai consumer and experienced strong growth in 2005. Foodland is Thailand's oldest supermarket chain and currently has 10 outlets
and plans to continue opening more in the face of intensifying competition from foreign hypermarkets and Tops supermarket chain.
Villa Market provides all household essentials as well as local and imported groceries, fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, fish,
liquor, electrical, school and office supplies, local and imported magazines and a mini pharmacy. Targeting the premium market
segment, most of its shops are located in affluent areas.
Convenience sector
The convenience store sector dominated by the 7-Eleven group, continued to see very rapid expansion, with 7-Eleven adding
more stores, to exceed 3,300 stores. The second largest operator in this sector, Family Mart, also added additional stores in 2005. The
convenience store sector has continued to focus on food and beverage sales in 2005, with 7-Eleven announcing an increased
percentage of these sales in 2005 and a corresponding increase in sales area to support future growth.
Department store sector
The department store sector is dominated by two major players. 'Central' and 'The Mall' are owned by the Central Retail
Corporation and The Mall Group Company Limited, respectively. Although continuing to face competition from the discount/
hypermarket stores, the different shopping environments, promotional campaigns and marketing activities of the department stores
continue to retain a strong customer base and both operators saw sales growth in 2005. The Central Retail Corporation has been
active in the development of speciality retail businesses, for example health and beauty, office products, and electrical goods. Both
these major department store groups are involved in the significant new luxury retail outlets in central downtown Bangkok. A result of
which should be the making of Rama 1/Ploenchit area of Bangkok a comparable retail experience to Singapore's Orchard Road.
Now and the Future
The Thai retail market experienced a decrease in sales growth in 2005 reflecting the negative effects of the surge in oil prices,
severe drought in rural regions, flooding the North and South of Thailand, tsunami-related declines in tourism and lower consumer
confidence. However, the retail market observed a distinct increase in new investments both by local and foreign companies.
Investment forecasts for 2006 are set to be lower than 2005, since many retailers have upgraded or built their outlets ahead of their
plans. New zoning laws have yet to be clarified forcing some retail chains. The competitive sectors in the Thai economy are much
more clearly defined now and the modern retail trade has grown much stronger. The Thai consumer is more sophisticated, however
both traditional and modern sectors of the retail trade continue to hold an important place in the buying habits of the Thai consumer.
The modern consumer is selective, and uses various alternative retail outlets to satisfy their needs, for example combining monthly
visits to the hypermarket with more frequent visits to the wet market and the convenience store.

Looking to the Future
Siam Makro is a Cash and Carry Wholesaler with a strategy focused on consolidating the Company's position as the leading
cash and carry wholesaler in Thailand. This means ensuring that the Company understands and delivers what the core customer
group expects and ensuring customers, suppliers and other stakeholders understand the nature of the business and their part in it.

and bureaucracy
The main focus of 2006 will be 'Growth Through Performance'. The company will endeavour to
achieve this by taking advantage of and making the most of opportunities brought about by
change. Siam Makro will continue to optimise the business and look for new opportunities whilst
in parallel working as a team for better results keeping the hierarchy and bureaucracy to a
minimum. Shareholders are not looking for "puffed up" quarterly or annual results, but for
sustainable growth and shareholders accept the risks of new endeavours. Therefore, 2006 will be
the year of the STORM for Siam Makro PLC.
In 2006 we will continue to focus on meeting the customers' needs as a core area for development. We will review the
services provided in stores, not just in terms of range, assortment and pricing but also in other areas, such as presentation and
display. We will also review value-added services provided for customers.
Although we are a wholesale cash and carry business, customer service is still an important element of the overall offering.
To support this, an extensive training program was instigated in 2005, which concentrated on 'Customer Management Methodology'.
This will continue throughout 2006 in conjunction with other specifically targeted customer training programs, such as customer
relationship and marketing skills. Customer satisfaction is an important factor within the business and to measure this customer panels
will be introduced within the business.
We will continue to review the product range and focus on the development of own-brand ranges. This will include premium
'aro' brand for food service operators and the value 'savepak' brand. House-brand products are a good alternative at a time when
energy prices are high and also provide customers with value for money whilst generating a positive impact on margin. This brand mix
will ensure we are constantly adhering to our customers' needs and expectations.
Continuing on from 2005, Siam Makro will actively target the professional customer group HoReCa (hotel, restaurants and
catering) to enhance the number of active customers registered within this sector. This will be achieved by putting into practice
Customer Management methodologies and continuing with specific business activities such as hosting the second 'HoReCa
Extravaganza'.
The store re-modelling program, which commenced in 2003 will be completed early 2006 with the remaining two stores,
Ubonratchatani & Surin being re-modelled to the new format.
Initiatives introduced during 2005 will continue throughout 2006. In particular the Stock Management methodology, which
covers all aspects of stock control and stock management. Key areas such as, effective margin control, aging stocks and stock
financing will be addressed during 2006 and practices enhanced where possible. The company will also continue to look for new and
better value added supply sources to achieve the best pricing for specific products.

Looking to the Future
Further developments within the logistics operation will be made. A larger platform will be opened in early 2006 to
accommodate and support increasing volumes. The increased use of cross docking has improved supply chain management,
particularly in respect of the smaller scale suppliers. Stronger supply chain management adds value through the ability to better
manage inventory holdings at store level, therefore reflecting a more constant supply and replenishment into stores, thus reducing out
of stock situations and increasing service level.
We will also continue to invest in Information Technology, both from a technical and operational perspective. Enhancements to
the current logistics system will be made to incorporate the Fresh Food operation. These enhancements will also include new working
methodologies and practices to optimise the business. The main operational host system will also be upgraded in 2006 to ensure
future reliability and expansion capabilities both from a technical and operational perspective.
2006 will also see the implementation of the Makro Business Intelligence project. Business intelligence (BI) is a category of
applications and technologies for gathering, storing, analyzing, and providing access to data, to help enterprise users make better
business decisions. BI applications include decision support systems, query and reporting, online analytical processing, statistical
analysis, forecasting, and data mining. This project aims to provide the right information, at the right time, for the right people.
Efficiency in operations is always a key factor to a successful business. A new project has been initiated whereby the technical
department along with the operational department will work closely together to optimise business processes. Primarily, the project will
cover all aspects of the store operation, such as goods receiving and shelf replenishment. The objective is to analyse the current
working methods and supporting IT tools available and where possible identify and implement new supporting IT tools to further
enhance working practices. This will also be supported with refined working methods and clearly defined procedures.
Our people development programme is ongoing, through training and skill development courses, through discussion and
feedback, and through sharing business and customer knowledge within the company. As a meritocracy company we reward people
for performance and over recent years we have paid close attention to the need to develop and bring through our own people, at the
stores and in the head office. Going forward this will continue with a focus on development and succession from within.
As a cash and carry wholesaler the growth of the business aligns closely with the customers. We have been successful in
refocusing the core business towards the core customer group and this has been reflected in the positive results for 2005. The year
ahead will be challenging but through hard work we will continue to grow sales through business expansion within the target customer
group and grow the margin through closer relationships with suppliers. This will be achieved by stronger supply chain management
and greater operational efficiency and through the identification of opportunities in complementary businesses.

Risk Factors
Risk, complexity and uncertainty define all business environments. Risks to a business can be strategic, financial, compliance,
regulatory, natural or operational and systems derived in nature. Risks change constantly as the internal and external dynamics within
a business's operating environment change. There is internal risk within the business itself, ranging through the spectrum. From the
more traditional risks in the form of hazards, such as fire and flooding, to risks in our operating environment, such as our reliance on
information technology, to risk in our employee workforce, for example in our ability to skill and retain our employees. There is also risk
from external factors; from our interactions with others, our relationships as supplier, customer, employer and investee - factors outside
our control, which have significant impact to the environment we operate in and the results we achieve. Major risks we currently face
include stock market risk, shareholder risk, economic risk, competitive risks such as the actions of our competitors, regulatory and
legislative risk, employee risk and information technology risk.
The Company is listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, and its share price is, therefore, impacted by market sentiment,
locally, regionally and internationally. Local market sentiment is driven by political and economic conditions in Thailand, regionally and
internationally, and by speculation. The market closed for the year with an improvement of 6.8% from the previous year. However, the
Company's shares have performed well, with our share price closing the year at Baht 69.50, up from Baht 49, reflecting retail sector
sentiment and our strong performance. There have been many negative factors impacting market sentiment in 2005, both at the
national and international level. Severe drought in rural regions and continued regional unrest in the south of Thailand have impacted
on the local economy, whilst major international factors have the significant increase in world oil prices to unprecedented highs and the
constant demand for commodities. These factors pose substantial risks to the Thai market, as does the potential for a correction in the
Thai market following a period of high growth, expansion in consumer credit and property speculation.
Although we are a public listed company a significant proportion of our equity is held by a limited number of shareholders,
primarily the SHV group of the Netherlands that, jointly with some other shareholders, controls us. The Company has had a long
relationship with the SHV group, and through this relationship has conducted a cash and carry business in Thailand for 16 years. Our
management team comprises a highly skilled and experienced team, with both international and Thai experience, and has, therefore, a
high level of knowledge, understanding and competence in the Thai retail and supply chain industries. We do, however, consult with
SHV in all aspects of our business, for example in areas as diverse as procurement, finance and information technology. Furthermore,
we also have certain software and license agreements with members of the SHV group. Such agreements are subject to annual
renewal and we are not aware of any factors that would impact such renewal. We are not reliant upon any other shareholder in the
ordinary course of our business and do not consider that changes in shareholding interests, other than those made by SHV, our
principal shareholder, would significantly impact our business.
As a cash and carry wholesaler we believe that we are less exposed to downturns in consumer confidence than the discount
and hypermarket operators as our core customer base are not end-users. However, all businesses are sensitive to the economic
environment in which they operate and deterioration in Thailand's economic performance in future would impact us. As a cash and
carry operator our commercial structure partly mitigates such risks, as we are not exposed to bad debt risk, as sales are substantially
all in cash and our working capital position is favourable. As a food wholesaler, particularly with our focus on fresh food, we are
exposed to potential negative impact on sales arising from food scares, for example the negative impact on chicken sales that arises
from outbreaks of bird flu or similar diseases in the region. The increasing attention paid to food safety and food hygiene by our
customers is becoming more evident as the consumer becomes more sophisticated. Although, we source our fresh food from reliable
and certified suppliers and impose strict cleanliness and hygiene standards on our stores and staff, we are exposed to potential
negative sentiment and corresponding adverse impact on sales from general scares and alerts within the region.

Risk Factors
Competition in the modern retail sector remains aggressive, with many operators having undertaken rapid expansion through
building new stores in recent years such that the overall retail trade now is fundamentally different to that of 10 years ago. The impact
of new retail zoning laws, which were introduced in 2003, has significantly curtailed operators' ability to grow through expansion within
built up urban areas. These laws have yet to be clarified and for some retail chains, especially within the cash and carry sector,
expansion plans have been put on hold. However, some operators have pursued growth expansion through alternative formats such
as the convenience store sized mini outlets.
The growth of the modern retail sector in Thailand in the last decade, whilst benefiting the Thai consumer by expanding their
choice, and the quality and value of retail offerings, has been perceived to have significantly impacted other sectors of the economy,
including the traditional retail sector. This perceived adverse impact encouraged calls for legislative and regulatory intervention, and
2003 saw the implementation of a significant Notifications regarding zoning, the impact of which is discussed above, and anticompetition legislation. The reinforcement of Competition Act in 2003 focus in respect of market domination and unfair trade practices,
carrying penalties for violation of both fines and imprisonment, and was introduced with retrospective application to March 1999.
Certain aspects of the regulation and its implementation continue to require clarification and the process of implementation remains
unclear. Our business is, and will continue to be, exposed to changes in the regulatory, legislative or compliance environments that
adversely impact our performance.
Compliance, operational and systems risk management is ongoing, and subject to continual review. We have skilled
employees across all aspects of the business, who are up to date with global developments in retail and management and the Board
of Directors actively review our risk exposure in these areas. We continually train and invest in our employees but must compete
against other employers in Thailand to secure the best employees out of a relatively small pool of skilled labour. There is continued
demand for skilled employees, especially in the provincial areas, and there is risk that we will be unable to recruit and retain
employees with the levels of skills that we require. Furthermore the modern retail trade represents a highly challenging work
environment, in which both succession and continuity in our employee base are important to achieve the growth that we seek. As
investment in employee development continues there is also increased risk that we will invest resources in our staff, but be unable to
reap the benefits if those employees leave us for our competitors. We believe that the meritocratic environment that we offer, the
support and training programmes that we provide, the feeling of teamwork coupled with the family environment that exist amongst our
staff group, reduces our risk in obtaining and retaining the quality of staff that we need to manage and grow our business.
We use information technology throughout our organisation and it is fundamental to our ability to do business. Our use of
information technology includes links with parties' external to our organisation, for example through our B2B platform, and through the
use of email and such communication tools. Furthermore, our operational systems are fully computerised. We are, therefore, exposed
to potential adverse impact on our business should our information technology fail, or otherwise become corrupted, for example
through exposure to electronically communicated viruses. Our information technology department is active in ensuring that the
Company is properly and effectively safeguarded against such risk.

Auditor's Report
To the Shareholders of Siam Makro Public Company Limited
I have audited the accompanying consolidated and Company balance sheets as at 31 December 2005, and the related consolidated
and Company statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended of Siam Makro Public
Company Limited and its subsidiaries, and of Siam Makro Public Company Limited, respectively. The Company's management is
responsible for the correctness and completeness of information in these financial statements. My responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. The consolidated and Company financial statements of Siam Makro Public
Company Limited and its subsidiaries and of Siam Makro Public Company Limited, respectively, for the year ended 31 December
2004, presented herewith for comparative purposes, were audited by another auditor of the same firm as myself whose report dated
18 February 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the consolidated and Company financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated and Company financial position as at 31 December 2005, and the consolidated and Company results of operations, and
cash flows for the years ended of Siam Makro Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries, and of Siam Makro Public Company
Limited, respectively, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

General information
Siam Makro Public Company Limited was incorporated in Thailand on 10 May 1988, changed its status to a public company on
11 February 1994 and was subsequently listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand on 11 August 1994.
The Company's principal business is the operation of Cash and Carry Trade Centres throughout Thailand, under the name
"Makro", selling food and non-food products to registered members, predominantly small and medium size businesses, retailers,
caterers, professional and service sectors and institutions.
The Company has three subsidiaries - Makro Office Centre Company Limited, Siam Food Services Limited and Makro Properties
Limited which operate businesses as follows: Makro Office Centre Company Limited is a specialised retailing operation, a
category killer supplying office supplies, office automation products and office services such as copying and printing, on a self
service, mail order and delivery basis, Siam Food Services Limited is a importing and trading frozen foods company and providing
services such as freight, delivery, rental and storage and Makro Properties Limited is a land investment company, purchasing the
land on which some Trade Centres are located on a lease basis.
The registered office of the Company is located at 3498 2nd Floor, Lard Prao Road, Klongchan, Bangkapi, Bangkok 10240.
The consolidated and Company financial statements have been approved for issue by the board of directors on 22 February 2006.
2
Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated and Company financial statements, which have
been applied consistently, are set out below.
2.1 Basis of preparation
The consolidated and Company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Thai generally accepted
accounting principles under the Accounting Act B.E. 2543, being those Thai Accounting Standards issued under the Account
Profession Act B.E. 2547, and the financial reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As a result of the Federation of Accounting Profession (FAP) approval of three new accounting standards on 12 May 2005,
the Company has adopted TAS 52, 'Events After Balance Sheet Date', TAS 53, 'Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and
Contingent Assets' and TAS 54, 'Discontinuing Operations' for the year ended 31 December 2005. The adoption of the three
new standards did not have an impact on the financial statements presented.
The accounting principles applied may differ from generally accepted accounting principles adopted in other countries and
jurisdictions. The accompanying consolidated and Company financial statements are therefore not intended to present the
financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with jurisdictions other than Thailand.
Consequently, these financial statements are prepared based on the assumption that the users of the financial statements
have an understanding of Thai generally accepted accounting principles and practices.

2
Accounting policies (Cont'd)
2.1 Basis of preparation (Cont'd)
The consolidated and Company financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
An English version of the consolidated and Company financial statements have been prepared from the statutory financial
statements that are in the Thai language. In the event of a conflict or a difference in interpretation between the two
languages, the Thai language statutory financial statements shall prevail.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Thai generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reported periods. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and
actions, actual results may differ from those estimates.
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current year.
2.2 Investment in subsidiaries
Investment in subsidiaries are those entities in which the Group has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or
otherwise has power to exercise control over the operations. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is
transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions and
balances between group companies are eliminated. Where necessary, accounting policies for subsidiaries have been
changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Investment in subsidiaries in the Company financial statements are presented by the equity method of accounting.
2.3 Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions in the Group are accounted for at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions.
The outstanding monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling
at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of
monetary, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statements of income. Such
balances including balances hedged by forward foreign exchange contracts are translated at year-end exchange rates.
2.4 Financial instruments
Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet include cash and cash equivalents, current investments, trade receivables
and payables, amounts due from/to related parties, and loans to related parties. The particular recognition methods adopted
are disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item.

Accounting policies (Cont'd)
2.4 Financial instruments (Cont'd)
Foreign currency forward contracts establish the exchange rate at which the Group will pay foreign currency amounts on a
predetermined future date.
Where the Group enters into significant forward contracts, the foreign currency amount
receivable under these contracts are translated at the year end exchange rate. Unrealised gains or losses that result from
the translation are recognised in the income statement. Any premium or discount equal to the difference between the spot
exchange rate and the forward rate arising at the inception of the contract is amortised over the life of the contract.
2.5 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried on the balance sheet at cost. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand,
deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.
2.6 Trade accounts receivable
Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less allowance for doubtful receivables based on a review of
all outstanding amounts at the year end. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the carrying amount of the
receivable and the amount expected to be collectible. Bad debts are written-off during the year in which they are incurred.
2.7 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined by the latest purchase price which
approximates to cost determined by the first-in first-out basis. The cost of purchase comprises both the purchase price and
costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the inventory, such as import duties and transportation charges, less all
attributable discounts, allowances or rebates. Net realisable value is the estimate of the selling price in the ordinary course
of business, less the costs of completion and selling expenses. Allowance is made, where necessary, for obsolete, slowmoving and shrinkage inventories.
2.8 Investments
The Group classifies its investments in debt securities as held-to-maturity securities. Those investments with fixed maturity
that the management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are included in current assets when the maturity date is
less than 12 months from balance sheet date and included in non-current assets when the maturity date is longer than 12
months.
Investments in debt securities which are classified as held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortised cost.

2.8 Investments (Cont'd)
A test for impairment is carried out when there is a factor indicating that an investment might be impaired. If the carrying
value of the investment is higher than its recoverable amount, the impairment loss is charged to the income statement.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged to the
income statement.
2.9 Property, plant and equipment
All property, plant and equipment is initially recorded at cost, and is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write-off the cost of each asset to their residual values over their
estimated useful lives which range from 5 - 20 years. Land is not depreciated as it is considered to have an indefinite life.
Leasehold rights are amortised by the straight-line method over the period of agreements, which range from 3 - 30 years.
Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its
recoverable amount.
Estimated recoverable amount is the higher of the anticipated discounted cash flows from the
continuing use of the asset and the amount obtainable from the sale of the asset less any costs of disposal.
Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are determined by reference to their carrying amount and
are included in operating profit.
Expenditure on additions, renewals and betterment, which result in a substantial increase in the current replacement value of
an asset is capitalised. Repair and maintenance costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.
2.10 Land held for sale or future development
Land held for sale or future development is recorded at cost less allowance for impairment of assets.
2.11 Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Company's share of the net assets of
the acquired subsidiary undertaking at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiary is reported in the
consolidated balance sheet as an intangible asset. Goodwill is amortised using the straight-line method over its estimated
useful life but not over 20 years.

2.12 Leases - where a Group company is the lessee
Leases not transferring a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee are classified as operating
leases.
Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the
statement of income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor
by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place.
2.13 Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets represent proprietary software for internal use. The cost includes cost of software development and
software license fee. Other intangible assets are amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives,
which range from 3-5 years.
2.14 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the
obligation can be made.

Provision for employee benefits (Cont'd)
iii) Additional benefit related to provident fund
The Group operates an employee benefit scheme under which employees who are members of the Group's provident
fund, being a defined contribution plan, for at least 9 years are entitled to receive additional contribution from the Group
on their resignation or retirement from employment with the Group. Employees, who are member of the provident fund for
at least 9 years, shall be entitled to receive an additional 50% of the contributions made by the Group on their behalf.
The Group recognises its liabilities in respect of these three defined benefit plans at the present value of the defined
benefit obligations at the balance sheet date adjusted for actuarial gains/losses. These defined benefit obligations are
calculated by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit
obligations are determined by the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds which have
terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments (the effects of differences between the previous actuarial
assumptions and what has actually occurred), changes in actuarial assumptions and amendments to employee benefits
plans are charged or credited to income over the average remaining service lives of the related employees.
Provident fund
The Group operates a provident fund, being a defined contribution plan, the assets for which are held in a separate trust
fund. The provident fund is funded by payments from employees and by the Group. The Group's contributions to the
provident fund are charged to the income statements in the years to which they relate.
2.16 Revenue recognition
Sales are recognised on the delivery of products and customer acceptance, net of discounts. For consolidated financial
statements, intra-group sales are eliminated.
Sales of services are recongised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.
2.17 Segment reporting
The segmental reporting has been prepared based on the Company's method of internal reporting, which desegregates its
business by service or product.

purpose is prohibited.

transactions are cash sales. In addition, the Group places its cash and current investments with high quality institutions. The
Group's policies are designed to limit exposure with any one institution and to invest excess cash in low risk investment accounts.
The Group has not experienced any losses on such accounts. The subsidiaries have in place credit policies not to provide credit
for any companies considered high risk of collections.
Liquidity risk
