Message from the Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer
Message from the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholders,
The year 2014 was considered as an important
step for RS to re-designed corporate structure
from an entertainment company into a full media
company. This was the year when the Company
had fully operated the digital television business
after successfully received the operating license for
broadcasting television business, or the operating
license for television business as usually called the
digital free tv from the National Broadcasting and
Telecommunications Commission (NBTC).
The television industry in 2014 had intense
competition from new operators entering into the
industry with totaled 21 channels (excluding the
original free TV of channel 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11). Each
operator was ready to compete to for the share in
advertising budget from the existing television media
budget of Baht 89,000 million per year by investing in
new contents in order to capture viewing audiences
from original operators.
RS is considered as having vast experiences for a
period of time in operating the satellite television
business and is ready in every direction whether
in the form of personnel, producing contents for
variety, entertainment and documentary programs,
including readiness on financial support. These give
us confident in certainly establishing the Company
as leader in the free television media.
Overall economic situation for Thailand in 2014
showed a slowdown trend when comparing to the
previous year as economy for domestic market
had a rapid setback from political turmoil starting
in late October 2013. Other external factor such
as economy of the USA and many countries in
Europe which were our important trading partners
02
03
encountered economic slowdown, thus, sending impact towards our economy as well. The advertising industry which
had its growth rate in corresponding with the economic growth received these impacts too. However, the overall
economic in 2015 has clearly shown recovering trend from intervention of the National Council for Peace and Order
(NCPO) that stops the political violence and by receiving support from Government policy that generates consumers
spending such as payment for farmers, etc. Additionally, as external economy also shows a recovering trend, the Bank
of Thailand forecasts that in 2015 the national GDP will grow 4 – 5 % which will result in generating growing trend for
the advertising industry as well.
In 2014, revenue from sales and services amounted to Baht 4,306.5 million which showed growth of 24% from previous
year and was due from strength of contents that received well acceptance from audiences and advertising media buyers.
Moreover, the Company also received additional special revenue from rights management of the FIFA World Cup 2014.
The television business generated revenue of Baht 1,425 million or growth of 36% which resulted from continuous good
performances from each of the channel. These could be seen from the success in audience rating of “Channel 8” which
received number 4 rating in the digital television channel (data from AGB Nielsen Media Research in February 2015),
and “Channel 2” , “Sabaidee TV”, and “YOU Channel” that received high ratings in the satellite television channels in
their categories.
Radio business still had continuous growth even though the radio industry was near its saturating point but the Thai
radio station “Cool Fahrenheit 93” and the country radio station “”Sabaidee Radio” were leaders in their categories. The
“Cool Fahrenheit 93” still held number 1 rating in the easy listening category, and “Sabaidee Radio” held high ranking
number from research data from the AGB Nielsen Media Research. Thus, the radio business of the Company still enjoyed
continuous growth. In 2014 radio business generated revenue of Baht 554 million. Growth from both the television and
radio business resulted in the overall growth for media business in 2014 with revenue registered at Baht 3,357 million,
or growth of 69 % comparing to previous year.
For the overall picture of the media business in 2014, its revenue showed 78 % of the Company total revenue as will
increase the percentage in future. In 2015, the Company has re-designed its organization in order to move forward as
leader in the media industry.
The music distribution business registered revenue of Baht 457.8 million, decreased from previous year of 41 %, due
to changing consumers’ behavior thus making the physical product sales value gradually decreasing. However, music
business still had important role as it was the upstream for contents and most personnel in the entertainment side of the
Company which could be further use for the Company’s media business as it could be seen from the success of the
“Sabaidee TV” and “YOU Channel” channels. Moreover, in 2014, the Company also reorganized its music distribution
business by combining both the business center of string and country to be under the same management which
generated proficient operations and maximum efficiency.
The Event Management in 2014 generated revenue of Baht 458.5 million decreased 34 % from previous year due to
intense political situation that delayed private corporations and Government agencies from business activities. However,
the Company’s events still regularly generating revenue such as the “Kid Tung D2B” concert, “Sabaidee” Sunjorn, and
“Looktung Festival” that received overwhelming responses.
For the part of cost of sales and services amounted to Baht 2,924.7 million, increased 39% from previous year which was
due from cost realized from live broadcasting of the World Cup 2014, including cost increased from “Channel 8” digital
TV for cost on the license operating of the digital television. Also, this included cost on service of the digital television
network (MUX), cost on signal reception including investment in equipment, personnel, producing programs, and
purchasing various copyrights programs for the development of contents’ quality in drama, news and variety programs
to make them strong and interesting. Expenses on sales and administration amounted to Baht 866 million, decreased
2% from previous year from reduced expenses concerning personnel and the marketing plan adjustment which resulted
in decreased cost on sales promotion. Thus, in 2014, net profit for the Company totaled Baht 371 million, decreased 6
% from previous year which mainly due from increased cost from “Channel 8”.
For social responsibility RS still emphasized in social activities together with the entertaining business. In 2014, the
Company engaged in many social activities including the arrangement on some of the activities ourselves. The activities
included “English Teach a Child” project under the “84 Schools Doing Good Deed for the King”, “Kamikaze Give & Share
2015”, “Share the Happy New Year for our Brothers and Sisters” year 2, “Channel 8 Share to Child” activity, Share our
Love on Children Day to Nonthapoom House, and other activities such as “1 to 3 Blood” for you, and “Life is Beautiful”
project for underprivileged patients.
Good corporate governance is always a very important factor in operating the RS business as indicates in the Corporate
Governance of Thai Listed Companies 2014 that the Company has been listed in the very best CG scoring. The Company
has reviewed its good corporate governance policy on the yearly basis and always instructs its Directors, Executives
and employees to follow the policy. Apart from the goal in achieving the business success, we are determined to build
sustainable society and balance that covers the economy, society and environment, including the building of long term
benefit for our shareholders.
In 2015, RS still holds on to its original strategy as the media revolutionist similar to the past years. For the Company
to fully change from the entertainment to the media business, the most important thing is that all employees must have
the same goal and ready to change and develop in any aspects in order to guide our corporation to its planned target.
Lastly, on behalf of the Company’s Board of Directors, we would like to thank shareholders, customers, government
agencies, and sponsors who have confident, trust, and always support us all along, and most important of all are our
employees and artists who dedicated their bodies and minds by uniting in moving our company forward strongly and firmly.

player in the digital television but had experiences in the television media for a long time as it had been in the satellite
television for over 5 years. Thus, the Company was able to produce quality programs to satisfy audiences.

the audiences or advertising clients who invest their advertising budget into the digital television industry, at present,
the main audiences, approximately 70% still watch their television channels through satellite television. Hence,
the Company has realized the opportunity and importance of satellite television business. In 2015, the Company plans
to build Channel 2 as leader in the satellite television business of Thailand.

028
029
Affiliated Artist/Singer
RS Group has both String Music singers and Country Music singers. Each music style has both solo singers and groups
whom have different styles. RS artists and singers include:
String Music singer such as Four - Mod, 321, Timethai, Neko jump, Alarm9, Karamail
Country Music singer such as Baitoey R-siam, Ja R-siam, Kung Suthiraj, Kratae R-Siam, Jintara Poonlarp and BowVee.
Marketing and Competition
At present, consumers’ music listening behavior have changed from the past as the important variable comes from
internet, and widely spreading usage of the smartphone. Then, consumers turn to listening more to the on-line music
through various websites and the smartphone, and resulting in decreasing sales of the musical disc. The Company
realizes more on the importance of distribution channel as variety of distribution channel is needed to penetrate thoroughly
to consumers without the need for musical disc as before.
Moreover, the widely spreading problem on the copyrights infringement through the on-line or digital system due to
advance in technology, enables consumers to easily and rapidly reach the illegal downloading websites. Music distribution
business worldwide encounters yearly decreasing trend especially revenue on sales of the musical discs. Retail or small
music distribution businesses have difficulty in operating their business and some have to close down their business.
Nevertheless, in 2014, the Company has overhauled its music distribution business by grouping the string and country
music together and manages under the same management. Raw materials are shared in order to reduce some expenses,
while stock on hand of the musical discs in the warehouse has been reduced in correspondent with the altering change
in consumers’ behavior.
Event Management
Event Management income derives from 2 parts i.e. 1) the organization of concerts and events for public and private
sectors and 2) artist management.
The organization of concerts and events for public and private sectors
Shows and events are another business that is rapidly growing in Thailand because products, services and advertising
agencies has turned to allocate more budget for below-the-line activities over the past years as a result of a rising cost
of airtime for TV commercials compounded by a larger number of competitors selling products in the same category.
RS is specialized in organizing concerts and events to fulfill marketing plans of agencies, for the promotion of products
and services, that have turned to invest in non-media or below-the-line activities in forms of shows and events, and a
series of plans for the organization of entertainment activities that can obtain long-term positive effects on business will
be presented.
Marketing and Competition
The business of organizing concerts and events in Thailand can be divided into three main groups as follows:
1. Presentation and event organizers providing services on the organization of general events to promote products
and services for customers.
2. Local event promoters providing services on the organization and marketing of stage performances, shows and
concerts with their own investments and/or in cooperation with other local companies.
3. International event promoters providing services on the organization of shows and concerts as well as on the
formulation of marketing plans thereof, with their own investments and/or in cooperation with other companies, by
selecting live performance products for marketing in the country.
The competition for the organization of concerts and events in Thailand is rather high because there is a large number of
enterprises at all scales, whether small, medium or large. However, on the plus side, this business has a high prospect
because most marketing plans for product promotion set aside more budgets every year for below-the-line activities.
Being a large-scale entertainment company gives RS an advantage over others in the organization of concerts and
events, that is because we have lots of artists under our care and we run integrated media business of all kinds such
as TV, radio and other media channel. These qualities can give assurance that concerts and events organized by the
Company can fulfill customer needs.
Artist Management
RS’s long-time engagement in the business of integrated entertainment results in loads of artists and actors/actresses
under the care of the Company. These personnel are valuable assets who create value for the Company and be a
representative of the Company in joining activities with other organizations, and taking jobs to appear in public events
after their albums are released and promoted.
Artist management is an arrangement of all affairs to add value to artists, create jobs to boost income for artists in
addition to the launch of music work or performances as usual i.e. organization of concerts inside and outside the
country, appearance in public events for singing, fashion show performance, interview, sports playing, and so on, stage
show performance in a fenced area with the sale of admission tickets, made-to-order production in accordance with
individual customer requirements, and presentation show.
Marketing and Competition
The Company employs both mass customization strategies and Customization Strategy as a major policy (depending
on each category of product or service) by emphasizing the importance of direct customers as the main focus but
never forgets to take care of customers in the group of advertising agencies. With regard to the technique of work
presentation, the Company aims to make customers aware that any work presented by the Company is a marketing
tool to help individual customers achieve success in fulfilling their pre-determined marketing objectives by building on
the principle of entertainment marketing to approach consumers.
The Company reformats the management of performing artists by allowing artists to take jobs by themselves at
the standard remuneration rate fixed by the Company and those artists have to deduct and share a part of revenues,
at a specified rate, to the Company. This new format helps increase jobs and boosts income for artists and contributes
to greater flexibility of artist management.

Risk Factors
Risk Factors
RS Group has evaluated the risks that might affect its Companies and subsidiaries that may result in impacts toward
its business operations as follows:
Risks from copyright violation
Impacts of music industry from copyright violations of music contents are in various forms such as distribution of pirated
physical discs (CD, VCD, DVD, MP3), downloading music from unauthorized websites, using music contents to earn
revenue through karaoke shops, arranging of activities and concerts, etc. These copyright violations result in unrealistic
revenue from music contents thus does not reflect the real consumer demand.
The Company has realized the importance of this problem, and has adjusted its sales strategy to correspondence with
changing behavior of consumers such as changing the sales format of the music CD into the digital form, changing the
distribution channel into the modern trade channel and convenient store type, the development of digital system and
downloading channel of the music contents for easier services, the adjustment of product packaging and additional
new services, etc. Moreover, arrangements have been made to protect and suppress the copyright violations with
support and coordination from the Government using law enforcement procedures against operators who violate the
Company’s copyrights.
Risks from concessions renewal
Concession for Radio Business
Normally, the leasing period for the radio station’s broadcasting is about 2 years, if the leasing time has not been
extended, it will result on impacts on the broadcasting continuity and the Company’s revenue. This will include risk
on any changes in the contract conditions which may result in the inferior condition from original contract. Moreover,
searching for the new radio broadcast’s airing time as replacement may result in losing business continuity, and in
building similar popularity rating as the previous program, or may cause higher cost as well. However, the Company truly
believes that due to its continuously producing good quality performances and receiving high popularity with constant
listeners’ base group, including as an important business operator who abides with standard payment and strictly
conforms to payment conditions on airing time as well as on building good relationship with the concession provider, the
Company will receive some trust and, thus, reduce some risk that may happen during concession renewal. Nevertheless,
the Company will consider value of the concession renewal by comparing with investment cost. If the concession renewal
does not beneficial to the Company, investment on concession renewal may not be considered.
Concession for Satellite Television Business
The Office of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has made announcements on
the regulations and methods in giving permission for radio and television broadcasting in order to organize the satellite
television, and cable television operators into its regulatory mechanisms. The NBTC will issue licenses to operators
periodically in which the initial permits will have 1 year duration, and after that consideration will be made to issue
licenses of no more than 2 years at a time. NBTC will take into consideration, complaints on violation of inappropriate
contents, or advertising that contravene with the law, or any actions that contrary or inconsistent with the regulations
on consumers’ protection , including other new regulations that NBTC will introduce in future, as the basis to consider
the issuing of the renewal licenses to each operator. The periodic issuing of licenses with a rather short operating time
may limit business operations, manufacturing plans, and revenue generating of the Company, however, the Company
realizes the importance of strictly complying with rules and regulations in order to create confident that continuous
renewal of license on satellite television will be granted.
032
033
Risks from announcements on regulations from the Office of the National
Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC)
The Company operates television business in the digital terrestrial television and the satellite television business. The
television business is considered as a mass communication business that is very influential to the people as people can
reach and receive information thoroughly more than any other mass media channels, hence, business operations of the
television business is essentially operated under the laws. Office of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications
Commission (NBTC) is the Government agency that supervises television business operators in Thailand with its main
duty in supervising, and issuing various regulations in order to control free and fair competition among television business
operators with ethical standards. Consumers are to be protected on their benefits, and not to be exploited by business
operators such as supervision on the content to have suitable quality with the target group, suitability rating on contents
for children and youth, advertising, etc. At present, NBTC still makes regular new announcements in accordance with
its policy, and problem concerning business operators, hence, announcements from the NBTC still exist together with
all the television business operators. Hence, all the announcements that will be issued to control the television business
operations, will not be stable, and will require a period of time to realize any impact on business operations of the
Company, and eventually reflect risks on business operations.
Risks from intense competition in the television media business
In the past years, the television industry encounters more intense competition from the start of digital television
broadcasting in mid. 2014; including many existing channels in the satellite and local cable television. These can be
seen from continuous programs adjustments of each channel operators for more interesting programs with improved
quality in order to attract more rating from consumers and more budgets from the advertising market. The advertising
agencies will have more choices for their advertising media by having “rating” and “value for money” as criteria in
placing the advertising media which will result in more difficulty for selling the advertising time. However, from the
Company experiences in the production of television programs, and in managing its own satellite television for a long
time, having clear cut target audience group, strong content directly matching with its audience’s taste, having quality
and experienced personnel and working team, including various types of marketing promotion activities to constantly
activate audiences for continuous following, the Company’s satellite television is in the top ranking position of the Nielsen
Media Research (the survey and market research company that is recognized worldwide) will eventually enable it to
capture and maintain its market share from competitors in the industry.
Risks from occasional huge marketing events
The Company has continuous plan to expand its business, and some acquired project may require a rather high investment
cost which may encounter some risk if revenue management cannot be reach according to plan. Causes may derive
from many factors such as from rapid change in technology, changes in consumers’ behavior, various changing trends,
more intensified competitive situation in the industry as well as contract termination, or the occurrence of any event
that make it impossible to continue, etc. However, the Company has stipulated the screening process, evaluating its
usefulness, and cost effectiveness prior to investment. Study on the project feasibility has to be conducted prior to signing
any contract or any other binding condition by using experts from related fields to jointly consider for cautiousness and
conciseness of the project. Moreover, advanced planning and early preparation have to be conducted by the arranging
of pre-sale from supporting sponsors when the project is still in its production process. Additionally, large project has
to be approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in order to reduce any risk that may occur from the investment.

the office rental, common service fee, public utilities expense and other rentals to Chetchotisak Company Limited and

million, Baht 8.76 million and Baht 0.24 million respectively.
The Company also rented the Chetchotisak building 1 – 4 from Chetchotisak Company Limited with the purpose for using
them as office buildings and park building by paying rental and common service fee at the rate of Baht 230 – 545 per
square meter which is reasonable when comparing to nearby buildings which charged the rental and common service
fee at Baht 420 – 700 per square meter.
For other building rental fee, near to the vicinity of to Chetchotisak Company Limited and SS2C Company Limited (as per
details in chart 14.1.1 on items 4, 5, and 6), the rental and common service fee were to be paid as flat rate (the flat rate

square meters based on the conditions of each building), with the purpose for using them as office and car park buildings.

townhouse utility space into the office. The Company provided facilitation of public utilities and charged the rental/
service fees at the charter rate, with an average rate about Baht 265 per square meter (calculate from rental / service
charge as total package cost divided by average usage area of the building) which was at lower average rate than the
Chetchotisak building 1-3. This was reasonable rate as in the detailed comparison in previous section. Moreover, reason
that the Company had to sub-rent from the Chetchotisak Company Limited, because this company was an expert in
office rental management.

Management Discussion and Analysis
The management discussion and analysis has been prepared from the performances of RS Public Company Limited
and the companies within RS Group (“subsidiaries”) in accordance with the financial statements examined by the auditor
for the year ending December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 respectively. To clearly illustrate the overall performance of
RS Group of Companies, the operations are divided into 3 categories i.e., media business, music distribution business,
and contract and event management.
16.1 The economic and industrial situations that reflect the results of operation and policy, strategy,
or business decision.
Television is regarded as the main revenue generating business with good return on investment for the Company.
In 2014, “RS” has become one of the important operators in the television industry by receiving an operating license
for the digital television service in the general category of the standard definition system which is regarded as the
national business service. The Company has transferred its “Channel 8” which was originally broadcasted on the
satellite television system into broadcasting in the digital system instead and has officially started the broadcasting in
the 2nd quarter of 2014. However, the Company still has 4 satellite television channels i.e. “Channel 2”, “Sabaidee TV”,
“YOU Channel”, and “Sun Channel”.
Main factor that has important impact towards growth on the overall picture of the television industry is the advertising
expense of the industry which will increase or decrease depending on many factors such as the economic and political
situation, the local consumers’ expenditure, competition among operators who place the advertising, and decision
in choosing various media channels etc. In 2014, the overall advertising budget through the digital, analogue, satellite
and cable television has increased higher than in 2013 by starting to spread from the analogue and satellite to the digital
television channels (reference from the ABG Nielsen Media Research (Thailand) Ltd.
By having 24 digital television channels including the existing channels in the satellite and local cable television, intense
competitive situation in the television industry has been created. This can be seen from changes in programs and
strategies of each channel by continuously adjusting their programs, development on quality and format of the program
to be more interesting, increasing number of contents for TV show, Dramas, sports, game show, foreign program,
and variety shows, etc. This is by inviting famous artists to join the channel with the main point of gaining rating and
the advertising budget in the limited market into their channel as much as possible.
The Company realizes the importance of quality content to build rating for the program. Marketing strategy has been
adjusted to compete and correspond with the present market situation and to be able to compete evenly with others
including the strategy adjustment for future growth. Program in each channel will have important strategy such as
branding, positioning with clear target group, and development on the creation of program to correspond with trend
and taste of the target group, and the using of RS group strong point as the main factor in producing quality program
as well as suitable cost management etc. The Company has foreseen that these strategies will help build rating and
attract advertisers for more interest and will allocate their budgets through the Company’s channels as value for limited
budget will be worthwhile.
16.2 Summary of operating results by business category
The consolidated financial statements of RS Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) for the year
ended December 31, 2014 shows Total Sales and Services Income of Baht 4,306.5 million, Cost of Sales and Services
of Baht 2,924.7 million, and Selling and Administrative Expenses and Other Expenses of Baht 866.1 million. Net Profit

of the same period last year of Baht 23.5 million, or 6.0 percent. This change can be explained primarily due to:

0107
16.2.1 Revenue :
Revenue from sales and services at the end of fiscal year December 31, 2014, amounted to Baht 4,306.5 million,
a net increase of Baht 845.0 million comparing to 2013, or at 24.4 percent, which could be separately explained as
per each business group as follows:
1) Revenue from Media Business
Revenue from the overall media business was comprised of earnings from television and radio media. In 2014,
the company earned 3,356.8 million baht from its media business, which represented an increase of 1,370.6
million baht from that of 2013, or 69.0 percent.
- Television Media Business : Revenue from the main television media businesses primarily resulted from the operations
of terrestrial digital telvision in the general category with standard resolution, such as “Channel 8” (which officially
began to air during Quarter 2/2014); and 3 channels in the satellite TV system, including “Channel 2”, “Sabaidee
TV” and “You Channel”. Revenue also came from sports licensing via the “Sun Channel”, as well as from sales of
the “Sun Box” set-top boxes. This year, there was also revenue generated from live broadcasts of the FIFA World
Cup 2014. In 2014, revenue from the television media business comprised 65.0 percent of the revenue derived
from overall sales and services; this represented an increase compared to that of the previous year, which was
41.0 percent.
On the whole, revenue from the television media business in year 2014 increased from that of the year before,
especially from “Channel 8” and “Channel 2”, which enjoyed higher utilization rates and benefitted from increased
average advertising costs per minute. The latter reflected an adjustment that was implemented during the middle
of the past year. The programs that were the most popular included “Siang Sawan Pichit Fan” and dramas. There
were 5 drama series that began airing in 2014, including “Sap Sang”, “Dong Dok Ngiw”, “Pua Chua Krao”, “Ching
Rak Hak Sawat” and “Mia Teuan” on “Channel 8”. Also, “Kon Dang Nang Clear”, “Show Muan Duan Mike” (which
began to air at the end of 2014) and “Game Dara Cha-la-la” were broadcasted on “Channel 2”. Also, from market
survey results from AGB Nielsen Media Research (Thailand) Ltd., it was found that, since the official launch of
digital TV, “Channel 8” was among the top channels out of 30 digital television channels (including 6 analog TV
channels), and “Channel 2” ranked among the top satellite television channels in the variety and entertainment
category (rankings do not include digital TV channels). The same case applied to Sabaidee TV and You Channel.
- Live Broadcasts of World Cup 2014 : This year, there was revenue from the final round of the World Cup 2014,
with live broadcasts of the final 64 matches. Every match was shown live on free-to-air channels; live broadcasts
were shared among various television stations, including “Channel 5”, “Channel 7”, “Channel 8” and “Channel
11”. Live broadcasts were offered via subscription (Pay TV) on the “World Cup Channel” through the “Sun Box
– World Cup version” model. Most of the revenue was derived from sales of advertising, sales of the “Sun Box”
set-top boxes, subscription sales, platform (bundling) sales and subsidies received from the Office of the National
Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC).
- Radio Media Business : Revenue derived from the radio media business came from the operation of 3 stations:
“COOL Fahrenheit 93”, “Sabaidee Radio 88.5” and “COOL Celsius 91.5”. In 2014, revenue from the radio media
business comprised 12.9 percent of the revenue derived from overall sales and services; this represented
a decrease compared to that of the previous year, which was 16.0 percent. On the whole, the revenue for the
year did not change from that of the previous year. The “COOL Fahrenheit 93” station continued to remain in the
number one spot in the Easy Listening category and “Sabaidee Radio 88.5” enjoyed a ranking among the top
stations. There results were from a market survey conducted by AGB Nielsen Media Research (Thailand) Ltd.
2) Revenue from Music Distribution Business
Revenue from the music distribution business consisted of revenue from physical sales, digital business and
copyright collection. In 2014, the company earned revenue from the music distribution business in the amount of
457.8 million baht, representing a decrease of 319.4 million baht from that of 2013, or 41.1 percent. Revenue from
this business comprised 10.6 percent of the revenue derived from overall sales and services; this represented
a decrease compared to that of the previous year, which was 22.5 percent. The main causes included a decrease
in the revenue from physical album sales and music downloads. This reflects the contraction of the market due to
changing consumer behavior spurred by technological advances and the growth of smartphone usage. Presently,
consumers, especially those in the target market, are able to listen to music and watch music videos on the Internet,
which does not require them to spend any money. Also, the political situation contributed to the country’s economic
slowdown, which dampened consumers’ spending behavior. However, the company’s share of advertising revenue
increased from content sharing through Youtube.
3) Revenue from Event Management Business
Revenue from the event business consisted of revenue from concert organization and marketing activities, artists’
management and contract productions. In 2014, revenue from the event business amounted to 458.5 million baht,
a decrease of 234.0 million baht from 2013, or 33.8 percent. Revenue from this business comprised 10.7 percent of
the revenue derived from overall sales and services; this represented a decrease compared to that of the previous
year, which was 20.0 percent. This decrease in revenue was mainly due to the decline of contract production
volumes. Some programs slowed operations due to the impact of the political situation. Also, the amount of concerts
and marketing events dropped, compared to the previous year. The main concerts and activities that were held
included “Kid Tueng D2B Concert 2014”, “Kamikaze Dance Nayramit Concert 2014”, “Concert Khon Tai Hua Jai
Suea”, “Sabaidee Sunjorn 57”, “Sabaidee Road Show” and “School Music Lover”, among others.
16.2.2 Cost of Sales and Services
Cost of sales and services of 2,924.7 million baht increased by 815.4 million baht from last year, or 38.7 percent.
This was mainly due to realized costs from the World Cup 2014 live broadcasts, as well as increased costs from “Channel 8”
digital television, which reflected rising costs related to digital TV license cost, multiplexer cost and transmission cost,
as well as investments in equipment, staffing, content production and the purchase of various program licenses in order
to enhance the quality of content, including dramas, news and variety shows. The main goals were to boost overall
average viewership, as well as strengthen competitiveness in the television industry. In addition, the company recorded
the amortization of other sport media rights in the proportion of revenue that increased.
16.2.3 Selling and Administrative Expenses, Other Expenses and Finance Costs
Selling and administrative expenses, and other expenses amounted to 866.1 million baht, a decrease of 15.4
million baht from that of the previous year, or 1.7 percent. This was mainly due to the decrease in expenses related to
staffing; it also reflects the company’s shift in marketing plans and the lowering of promotional expenses.
Finance costs amounted to 26.7 million baht, a 9.4 million baht increase from that of the last year, or 54.3 percent.
This is mainly attributed to fees tied to the guarantees pledged by financial institutions to the NBTC and TPBS – the
multiplexer service provider.

Overall picture of the Company’s liquidity during the past 3 years showed current assets at higher level than the current
liabilities, average debt collection period was in accordance with the Company policy, and product sales or delivery of
contracts to customers including debt payments were in accordance with normal business operation of the Company.
Thus, the Company enjoyed continuous cash flow and sufficient working capital for business operations.

working capital for the operation and including readiness in sourcing capital from the short and long term loans that is
suitable with the asset type already.

as at December 31, 2014, the consolidated and separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows
statements for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other notes.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated and separate financial statements
in accordance with Thai Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary
to enable the preparation of consolidated and separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
My responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated and separate financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with Thai Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that I comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and separate
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.
Opinion
In my opinion, the consolidated and separate financial statements referred to above fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position as at December 31, 2014, and the financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended of RS Public Company

RS PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
RS Public Company Limited, the “Company” is a company registered in Thailand and listed on the Stock Exchange of
Thailand on May 22, 2003. The registered office of the Company is at 419/1 Soi Ladphao 15, Ladphao Road, Jompon,
Jatujak, and Bangkok, Thailand.
The principal activities of the Company and subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) are entertainment businesses
including media, music distribution, event business and other businesses supporting the Group’s core business.
2. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, in which
the Company has authority to control or holds more than 50% of the subsidiaries shares.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are those entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly
and indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The
financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control
commences until the date that control ceases.
The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to align them with the policies adopted
by the Group. Losses applicable to non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to non- controlling interests
even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.
Associates
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating
policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power
of another entity.
Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method
(equity-accounted investees) and are recognised initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs.
The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of
equity accounted investees from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence
ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the Group’s carrying
amount of that interest is reduced to zero and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the
Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income or expenses arising from intra-group transactions,
are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with
associates and jointly-controlled entities are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in
the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is
no evidence of impairment.

The Group company has made a preliminary assessment of the potential initial impact on the consolidated and separate
financial statements of these new and revised TFRS and expects that there will be no material impact on the financial
statements in the period of initial application.
3.2Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost.
3.3Presentation currency
The financial statements are prepared and presented in Thai Baht. All financial information presented in Thai Baht
has been rounded to the nearest thousand or million unless otherwise stated.
3.4Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with TFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates
and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. Actual results may differ from estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period in which estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
0126
0127
Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that
have the most significant effect on the amount recognized in the financial statements is included in the following note:
Note 16
Current and deferred taxation
Note 20
Measurement of defined benefit obligations
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial
statements except in Note 3.
4.1Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are converted at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the Statement of financial position date are
converted to Thai Baht at the foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising upon
conversion are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at cost in foreign currencies are converted to Thai Baht using the
foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.
4.2 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the statements of cash flows comprise cash balances, call deposits and highly liquid
short-term investment. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand are a component of financing activities for the
purpose of the statement of cash flows.
4.3 Trade and other accounts receivable
Trade and other accounts receivable are stated at their invoice value less allowance for doubtful accounts.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is assessed primarily on analysis of payment histories and future expectations
of customer payments. Bad debts are written off when incurred.
4.4 Inventories and work in process
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value.
The finished goods including cassette tapes, CDs, VCDs, DVDs. raw materials and others are stated at first-in, firstout method.
The finished goods and work in process of films, drama series, tele-movies and others are stated at cost which
consists of direct production cost and other production expenses.
Other inventories are valued at first-in, first-out method.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs to
complete and to make the sale.
The Company set up allowance for damaged goods and obsolete stock.
4.5Investments
Investments in associates and subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries in the separate financial statements of the Company are accounted for using the cost
method less allowance for impairment (if any). Investments in associates in the consolidated financial statements
are accounted for using the equity method.
Other long-term investment
Investments in non-marketable equity securities, which the Company classifies as other long –term investments, are
stated at cost method less allowance for impairment (if any).
4.6Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and losses on decline in value.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed
assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets
to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site
on which they are located and capitalised borrowing costs. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality
of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate
items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds
from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognised net within other income
in profit or loss.
Leased assets
Leases in terms of which the Company substantially assumes all the risk and rewards of ownership are classified
as finance leases. Property, plant and equipment acquired by way of finance leases is capitalised at the lower of
its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, less accumulated
depreciation and losses on decline in value. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and
reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Finance charges are charged directly to the statement of income.
Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the
item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company, and its cost
can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day
servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated based on the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted
for cost, less its residual value.
Depreciation is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component
of an item of property, plant and equipment as follows:
0128
0129
Land improvement
Building and construction
Machines and equipment
Furniture and office equipment
Vehicles
Years
8 years 7 months
20
5 – 10

as land lease agreement term
as land lease agreement term
4.7Intangible assets
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised on a systematic basis over the useful economic useful life and tested
for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and
the amortisation method of such intangible assets are reviewed at least at each financial year end. The amortisation
expense is charged to the Statement of comprehensive income.
A summary of the intangible assets with finite useful lives is as follows:
License for operation right in spectrum of digital television has recognized assets and liabilities at an amount equal
to payment of license as specified in the agreement and amortized expenses by the straight-line method.
Copyrights of certain show are amortized by proportionate of revenue generated within granted period.
Software are amortized on the basis of estimated useful lives of 10 years.
Others copyrights are amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually either individually
or at the cash generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually.
Intangible asset with indefinite useful lives is the Copyright of musical master tape, Copyright of drama, Copyright
of films.
4.8Impairment
The carrying amounts of the Company’s assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there
is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated. For
intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated
each year at the same times.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable
amount. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation credited to equity,
in which case it is charged to equity.
Calculation of recoverable amount
The recoverable amount of a non-financial asset is the greater of the asset’s value in use and fair value less costs to
sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable
amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Reversals of impairment
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods in respect of other non-financial assets are assessed at each reporting
date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has
been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to
the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined,
net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
4.9 Trade and other accounts payable
Trade and other accounts payable are stated at cost.
4.10Employee benefits
Post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company’s obligation in respect of post
employment benefits under defined benefit plans recognized in the financial statements based on calculations by the
independent actuary using the projected unit credit method estimating the amount of future benefit that employees
have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its
present value.
The Company recognises all actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit plans in other comprehensive
income and all expenses related to defined benefit plans in profit or loss.
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related
service is provided.
A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus if the Company has a
present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee,
and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
4.11Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group/Company has a present legal or constructive
obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding
of the discount is recognised as finance cost.
Provision for goods returns
Provision for goods returns is estimated with reference to past experience of actual goods returned and calculated
based on the proportion of sales.
4.12Share capital
Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and
share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
Treasury share
Treasury shares are recognised initially at cost and presented as a deduction from equity. An equal amount is
appropriated from retained earnings and taken to a reserve for treasury shares within equity. When treasury shares
are sold, the amount received is recognised as an increase in equity by crediting the cost of the treasury shares
sold, calculated using the weighted average method, to the treasury shares account and transferring the equivalent
0130
0131
amount to the cost of shares sold back from reserve for treasury shares to retained earnings. Surpluses on the sale
of treasury shares are taken directly to a separate category within equity (“Surplus on treasury shares”). Net deficits
on sale or cancellation of treasury shares are debited to retained earnings after setting off against any remaining
balance of surplus on treasury shares and the reserve for treasury shares are credited at the equivalent amount to
the cost of shared sold back to retained earnings.
4.13Revenue Recognition
Revenue exclude value added taxes or other sales taxes and is arrived at after deduction of trade discounts.
Revenue from sales is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income when the significant risks and rewards of
ownership have been transferred to the buyer. No revenue is recognised if there is continuing management involvement
with the goods or there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs
or the probable return of goods. Revenue from service is recognised when service has been provided.
1. Revenue from media
Revenue from sales of advertising, being the revenue from the sales of advertising media, i.e., the media of
TV, radio, modern trade, publishing and others, is recognized at invoice value less discounts when service
has been provided.
Revenue from publishing distribution is recognized at invoice value once delivered, after deduction of goods
returned and discounts.
Revenue from production of drama, TV programme, advertising film and other productions is recognized upon
delivery of completed work or recognized based on the proportion of completed service, whichever is the case.
Revenue from production of market activities is recognized upon delivery of completed work or recognized
based on the proportion of completed service, whichever is the case.
Television station sublease income is recognised over the period of the sublease.
2. Revenue from music distribution
Revenue from music distribution sales represents the revenue from sales and services, revenue from copyright,
revenue from commercial use or other benefit of music copyright and revenue from digital downloads.
Revenue from copyright is recognized once the copyright has been delivered.
Revenue from commercial use or other benefit of music copyright is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the agreement period.
Revenue from digital downloads are recognized once it has been delivered or the download service has
been provided.
3. Revenue from event business
Revenue from event business represents the revenue from ticket distribution, revenue from sales of advertising
and sponsorship, revenue from production and revenue from artist.
Revenue from ticket distribution is recognized when the concert has been provided.
Revenue from sales of advertising and sponsorship is recognized at invoice value less discounts when the
service has been provided.
Revenue from production is recognized upon delivery of completed work or recognized based on the proportion
of completed service, whichever is the case.
Revenue from artist is recognized when the service has been provided.
4. Revenue from films
Revenue from films represents the revenue from box-office sharing between cinema’s owner, copyright and
sales of sponsorship.
Revenue from box-office sharing between cinema’s owner and Group of Companies is recognized when the
film has been exhibited.
Revenue from film copyright is recognized when the film have been exhibited.
Revenue from sales of other film copyright is recognized based on the agreement and/or the rights attaching
to the said film.
Revenue from sales of sponsorship is recognized at invoice value less discounts when service has been
provided.
5. Interest and dividend income
Interest income is recognized in the Statement of comprehensive income as it accrues. Dividend income is
recognized in the Statement of comprehensive income on the date the Group’s right to receive payments is
established.
4.14 Expenses
Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.
4.15 Finance costs
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions and contingent
consideration, losses on disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, dividends on preference shares classified
as liabilities, fair value losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, impairment losses recognised on
financial assets (other than trade receivables), and losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss.
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset
are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
4.16 Lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the
lease.
Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum lease payments over the remaining term of
the lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed.
Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease
At inception of an arrangement, the Group/Company determines whether such an arrangement is or contains a lease.
A specific asset is the subject of a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of that specified
asset. An arrangement conveys the right to use the asset if the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to
control the use of the underlying asset.
At inception or upon reassessment of the arrangement, the Group/Company separates payments and other
consideration required by such an arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of
0132
0133
their relative fair values. If the Group concludes for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments
reliably, an asset and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset. Subsequently
the liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance charge on the liability is recognised using the
Group’s/Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
4.17Income tax
Income tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognised in
profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity
or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates
enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the
following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a
transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; and
differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly-controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that
they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they
reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Group/Company takes into account the impact of uncertain
tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The Group/Company believes that its accruals for
tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations
of tax law and prior experience. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of
judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Group/Company to change
its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense
in the period that such a determination is made.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and
assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different
tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities
will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against
which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
4.18Earnings per Share
The Group/Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS
is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted EPS is
determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number
of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares,
which comprise convertible notes and share options granted to employees.
5. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Related parties are those parties linked to the Group and the Company as shareholders or by common shareholders or

29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company and its subsidiaries do not have the policy to enter the derivative financial instruments for trading or
speculative purposes.
Credit risk
The Company and subsidiaries have credit risk on trade accounts receivable. However, the Company and subsidiaries
have a policy of doing business with good financial status clients to reduce the risk of financial loss. The Company
and subsidiaries make allowance for doubtful accounts to cover the residual risk of financial loss when receivables are
expected to be uncollectible.
Credit risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future movements in market interest rates will affect the results of the Group’s operations
and its cash flows. Management believes that the interest rate risk is minimal because the interest rates on overdrafts
and loans are at market rates and substantial portions of loans are short-term maturity. Accordingly, the Group does
not hedge such risk
Liquidity risk
The Group monitors its liquidity risk and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management
to finance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.
Fair values
The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing
parties in an arm’s length transaction.
Because the financial instruments have short-term maturity, the Group used the following methods and assumptions in
estimating the fair values of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable; the carrying values approximate their fair values.
Trade accounts payable; the fair value is based on the carrying value in the statement of financial position.
Bank overdrafts and short-term loans and long-term loan from financial institutions; the carrying values approximate
their fair values since they bear interest rates varied according to market interest rate.
Risk from exchange rate
The Company has certain foreign currency transactions that give rise to significant exposure to market risk from change
in foreign exchange rates. However, the Company has committed purchase-sell forward contract for foreign exchange
rated as a hedge against such risk.
As at December 31, 2014 there were no any sales and purchase forward contracts.
30.CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
