Total revenue increased from the prior year of the same period Baht 21 million or increased 9.49%, with the rise in the cost and expenses increased by Baht 14.94 million or increased 8.47% was due to the company's capability to expand the lease assets being higher than last year. This increasing correlated to the sale growth in automobile industry and thus has been continuing in growth trend. 2. Income tax decreased by Baht 4.90 million or decreased 26.90% from previous year was due to the company adjusted deferred income tax to expense.
