No. 0183/2008

To: Director and Manager
The Stock Exchange of Thailand
Subject: Clarification of the change in the operating results
according to the financial statements (profit and loss statements) in excess
of 20% of net profit for the second quarter ended 31 March 2008
The Company's operating results showed a net profit of Baht 44.97
million in the financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2008, being
a decrease in the net profit of Baht 21.41 million or 32.26% compared to the
net profit of Baht 66.38 million for the period ended 31 March 2007, or in
excess of 20%. The Company would accordingly like to clarify the reasons for
this change as follows:-
The Company's earnings from gain on the disposal of assets held for
lease and property foreclosed in the year 2008 decreased compared to the same
period in 2007 of Baht 31.80 million or 78.19%. This is due to the fact that
the volume of the rental leased termination type with no option to buy in the
year 2008 is lesser than the same period in 2007, reflecting in the Company
making a reduction in profit from the sale of assets held for
lease and property foreclosed.
Despite this operating results in 2008 is still satisfactory in terms
of uninterrupted replacements of customers whose leases have expired with new
ones. Furthermore, in 2008 the Company has developed its business by investing
in new assets by launching aviation services in addition to car leasing which
has resulted in an increase in the Company's total assets of Baht 476.35
million from September 2007 or 9.81%, making an increase in Company's leasing
assets and revenue. The Company is therefore confident that it is capable
of making continued profits.
Accordingly for your kind attention.
Yours sincerely,
(Mr. Krirkchai Siribhakdi)
President
