Company Background Company Background Thai Rung Union Car Plc has long been established as a maker of auto body parts and a vehicle assembler. Originally founded as a limited partnership under the name Thai Engineering in 1967 by Mr. Vichien Phaoenchoke, its business success eventually led to its become a listed company on the Stock Exchange of Thailand in 1994 under the current name, Thai Rung Union Car Public Company Limited. For 45 years Thai Rung Union Car Plc, a Thai-owned company, has been a fully integrated and highly flexible operator in the automotive industry, quickly meeting customer demands that range from product design and development, through die and jig production and manufacture of metal and plastic auto parts and seats, to contract painting and assembly and the production of modified multi-purpose and special purpose vehicles, all based on the skills and capabilities of its Thai workforce and using advanced technology. At present, adapting its strategy in line with the rapid growth of the Thai automotive industry, the Company focuses mainly on OEM parts, contract assembly and painting, and on expanding its market for parts and bodies to various regions around the world, as well as seeking alliances to expand its existing business and develop new ones. Furthermore the Company has boosted its potential, both by continuously developing production processes and by applying innovative technology to the production process in order to increase efficiency, reduce costs and increase future profits as well as developing human resources to cater to the coming into force of the AEC in 2015 and any other international trade and investment. The Company is confident that, thanks to its all-round production capabilities and flexibility in responding quickly to customer requirements, as well as its close relationships with customers at home and abroad, it will benefit from the many opportunities that lie ahead in the automotive industry. We are thus confident that the Company’s results will continue to grow rapidly in step with the Thai automotive industry.

8 Annual Report 2014


Message from the Chairman Message from the Chairman Thailand’s total vehicle production in 2014 was 1.88 million units, down by 23% on the previous year. Of this total, 1.13 million units were exported, close to the previous year’s figure, while domestic sales, at 0.88 million units, were down by 34% on the previous year as a result of weakening purchasing power, together with political problems and the fact that the domestic economy has still not recovered. For 2015 we expect the Thai automotive industry to produce approximately 2.15 million units, 14% more than in 2014, as the country’s economy and those of the main export markets are on an improving trend. In the longer term, prospects for the Thai automotive industry are still outstanding, as it is the most important production base in ASEAN. The opening up of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) free market in 2016, plus the introduction of new excise tax rates in Thailand and the start of Phase 2 of the eco-car project promoting the production of low CO2 emission cars in accordance with world demand should lead to Thailand’s being able to boost auto exports. As for the results of the Thai Rung group of companies in 2014, total consolidated revenues were Bt.2,450 million, and net income was Bt.152.41 million. The fall in earnings compared with 2013 was due to the domestic auto market’s being depressed by the economic situation and the country’s political problems. The Company therefore had to place great emphasis on controlling costs and boosting operating efficiency, as well as on reducing the risks associated with its dependence on a single sector. In this latter regard during 2014 the Company increased its investment in other sectors by setting up two new joint venture companies: Trex Thairung Co. Ltd., to expand its business into various kinds of trucks, such as dump-trucks, cargo vans, trailers, concrete mixer trucks and refrigerated trucks, and Kyowa Thairung Co. Ltd., to diversify into industrial machinery, excavators, construction equipment, agricultural machinery and tractors, etc., for sale both in Thailand and in export markets. In both cases the market looks set to continue growing in the future. The Company is always open to discussions with investors who are interested in investing jointly with the Thai Rung group to expand into various areas related to its current business, including research and development of new high added value products to increase its market share and generate extra revenue for the Company in the future.

- Industry trends and future competitive situation The dynamic of the automotive industry and the global economic centre is shifting from West to East. Asia plays an increasingly important role as a significant and growing market and a major global production base. Apart that , the coming into force of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2016 will stimulate growth in this industry as well as the relocation of more automakers from Japan and Europe to this region. As a result, business operators must adapt themselves to cater to the growth and intense competition. The Company’s management strategy in 2015 will continue to focus on OEM, contract assembly and painting and vehicle modification, as well as expanding parts making for agricultural machinery. The

26 Annual Report 2014


2014 when it successfully set up two new joint venture companies with Japanese partners, to expand its business into various kinds of trucks, such as dump-trucks, cargo vans, trailers, concrete mixer trucks and refrigerated trucks, and to diversify into industrial machinery, excavators, construction equipment, agricultural machinery and tractors, etc., for sale both in Thailand and in export markets. In both cases the market looks set to continue growing in the future given the continuing high demand for trucks and the opening up of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) free market in 2016 which will lead to further growth in transport requirements in the region and a greater role being played by trucks in the automotive industry. Furthermore the Company has boosted its potential, both by increasing production capacity and by improving efficiency by investing in new machines and introducing innovative technology to the production process, as well as developing human resources to cater to any foreign trade and investment. Apart from this the Company is also committed to contributing to taking care of the environment, as shown by its ISO 9001:2008, ISO/TS 16949:2009 and ISO 14001:2004 certification, and to manufacturing in accordance with customers’ needs, in a timely manner, keeping its costs within targets and using appropriate technology in the design and production processes, by means of efficient management, and raising the level of knowledge and capability of employees at all levels in order to keep in step with changes in the outside world, while at the same time ensuring a good working environment, safety at work, respect for the environment and social responsibility. In terms of corporate governance, the Company conducts its business at the level of its Board of Directors, its management and employees in line with the corporate governance guidelines of the SET.

Risk Factors Risk Factors The Company attaches importance to applying the principles of risk management as a tool in managing the organisation to world standards. A Risk Management Committee is responsible for overseeing and controlling compliance with risk management policies and rules, monitoring any significant risks that arise and establishing a risk management plan which is continuously aligned with the Company’s strategic and business plans, examples being: - the revision of practical manuals to keep them up to date and thus able to support improvement drives throughoutthe organisation - the establishment and review of clear roles, duties and responsibilities of executives and employees - and continuous performance evaluation aimed at incentivizing employees and boosting efficiency - all of which are aimed at building confidence in the Company’s risk management systems as being adequate and appropriate for the conduct of the organisation’s business and the achievement of its objectives. In 2014 the Company succeeded in increasing the efficiency with which it controlled the risks associated with possible effects of both atmospheric and noise pollution, investing installing systems to protect against paint dust and odour in accordance with international standards. The Company has obtained, and maintains, ISO 14001 quality certification, which involves regular checks by a government-approved company on the various kinds of pollution associated with the production process. The Company also has a system of checks, improvements, repairs and maintenance for its machinery and production systems at regular intervals. Accordingly the Company is confident that the production systems in the paint dip and paint shop facilities are efficient and will not cause environmental problems. 1. Business Risks 1.1 Multi-purpose vehicles - The Company has competitors in the form of several major brand owners who already produce multi-purpose vehicles, and new entrants attracted into the market by the high value of the station wagon type segment, with this type of vehicle continuing to be popular among consumers. - The implementation of free trade under AFTA brings import duty down to zero, increasing opportunities for foreign brands to establish themselves in the Thai market, which would increase competition, especially with the implementation of free trade under the AEC in late 2015. In order to spread the risk and mitigate any effect that might arise from the various risk factors in the multi-purpose vehicle business the Company has established guidelines as follows:

28 Annual Report 2014

-

The Company focuses on the area of multi-purpose vehicle research and development, striving for modern features and quality in line with its target customer groups’ needs. The Company has also conducted studies on developing a business for various kinds of special purpose vehicles such as TR Transformers, Military Utility Vehicle 4 (MUV4), rapid emergency vehicles in order to expand its market and its target customer groups, taking advantage of its flexibility in terms of adapting its production processes. The Company opened two new showrooms of its own, on Phetkasem Road and Vibhavadi Road, held events and road shows in various provinces and accelerated the appointment of new dealers in the North, North-east, East and South of Thailand to present its products and increase sales opportunities. Apart from this emphasis was also given to sales to government departments. The Company put additional measures in place throughout the organisation to reduce costs and save on expenses, both in the factory and in sales and support areas, so as to streamline costs so as to be able to compete and survive the economic crisis.

1.2 Auto Parts and Contract Assembly The implementation of free trade under AFTA brings import duty down to zero and thus increases manufacturers’ options in terms of importing parts instead of having them made in Thailand. Thai auto parts makers are faced with tougher competition on price and quality, from both domestic and foreign producers. In order to spread the risk and mitigate any effect that might arise from the various risk factors in the parts making and contact assembly business the Company has established guidelines as follows: - The Company continues to foster its relationships with its long-standing major customers, whilst at the same time seeking new customers from other sectors such as premium level motorcycles, which is a niche market with high added value, parts for construction tools, industrial and agricultural machinery, or other businesses beyond the auto industry such as electronic components, and also to broaden the customer base to other countries such as China, India and Australia so as to spread the risks in terms of sources of work. It also arranges programmes of marketing activities aimed at enhancing customer relations in general throughout the year, as well as establishing new target customer groups every year. - We provide a one stop service for plastic parts, painting, contract assembly and modification work from research and design through to finished parts. - The Company is always on the look-out for possible foreign business alliances with a view to increasing its know-how in the areas of production technology and more efficient machinery so as to prepare for the future, and to joint investment and expanding into additional related businesses, its policy being to seek work with high added value.

1.3 Dies and Jigs In 2014 the volume of die and jig making work slightly increased from the new models, however, to reduce the uncertainty of the future, the Company accelerated its search for business from overseas, from automakers moving their production bases to Thailand, and from new customers such as makers of construction, industrial or agricultural machinery and big trucks. In order to spread the risk and mitigate any effect that might arise from the various risk factors in the die and jig making business the Company has established guidelines as follows: - The Company has carried out investments to improve the efficiency of the production process so as to meet the many and varied customer requirements and at the same time to improve chances of winning the big size of die that have the high value added and less competitor. - The Company has a project to increase automation of the production process so as to lessen the impact of shortages of skilled labour, and has also arranged training courses aimed at enhancing personnel capability. - To build dies and jigs on a tier-two basis for tier-one suppliers overseas, e.g. Europe, America, who need to outsource work to countries with lower production costs. - To provide a one stop service for research, design, modification, right through to dies, jigs and other production equipment. - Boost level of die and jig design and production for turn-key projects through alliance with foreign partner so as to be able to enter more overseas tenders - Build up a network of business allies in Thailand so as to cater to the volume of new projects coming on stream, increase production capacity and be able to take on turn-key projects overseas Nevertheless in order to spread the risks in all three business units, the Company also strives to diversify its business, both to reduce the risk of business concentration and to broaden the revenue base. Examples are: - Expanding the business to include the production and sale of vacuum mould plastic parts including plastic accessories under the name “Parto�, a proprietary brand owned by the Company, including growing sales on an OEM basis, so as to respond comprehensively to customers’ needs. - The Company is a leader in the design and development of flat deck cargo boxes for pick-up trucks, which it sells to a number of truck makers for distribution in the domestic market ad overseas. Expanding the business of product design and development to various automakers at home and abroad - In 2014, the Company increased its investment in other sectors by setting up two new joint venture companies, to expand its business into various kinds of trucks, such as dump-trucks, cargo vans,

30 Annual Report 2014


trailers, concrete mixer trucks and refrigerated trucks, and to diversify into industrial machinery, excavators, construction equipment, agricultural machinery and tractors, etc. 2. Financial Risks 2.1 Credit risk The Group is exposed to credit risk primarily with respect to trade accounts receivable, loans, and other receivables. The Group manages the risk by adopting appropriate credit control policies and procedures and therefore does not expect to incur material financial losses. In addition, the Group do not have high concentration of credit risk since they have a large customer base. The maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amounts of receivables, loans, and other receivables as stated in the Statement of financial position. 2.2 Interest rate risk The Group’s exposures to interest rate risk relate primarily to their cash at banks, current investments and short-term loans. However, since most of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities have been repaid within one year, the interest rate risk is expected to be minimal. 3. Legal risk This concerns the risk of being sued for damages by consumers under product liability legislation as result of unsafe or poor quality products made by the Company The Company takes this risk seriously and has accordingly announced a policy on product safety, establishing a working committee and assigning it the duty and responsibility of ensuring compliance with the law, arranging training for management and employees on the law and making compliance mandatory for all employees. For the law as it relates to automotive industrial factories a special unit will be responsible for ensuring strict compliance with the law. 4. Safety, environmental and community risks The Company attaches importance to its human resources and stakeholders, striving to manage its business in such a way as to reduce all kinds of risks that affect people’s quality of life, as well as fulfilling its responsibilities towards society and building good relations with its neighbouring community, through the following measures: - Annual review of safety and environmental policies and quarterly activity meetings to inform supervisors of monitoring results

Stress on employee awareness of and attention to safety and environmental issues, all employees being obliged to follow the CCCF (Completely Check, Completely Find Out) procedure and the ISO14001 environmental management standard, as well as other activities such as “White Factory” “Drive Safely”, “Don’t Drink and Drive” and “Give up Alcohol for Lent”. Annual scholarship awards to children of employees who achieve a certain standard. The Company also supports society by donating money, supporting various departments and the local community, for example donating medical equipment to hospitals, granting scholarships to pupils of various schools, arranging volunteer programmes in support of underprivileged communities in various parts of the country, volunteer traffic activities, anti-drugs campaigns, cooperation with government departments, etc.

Management's Discussion and Analysis Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Based on Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2014)

In 2014, the Thai automotive industry produced fewer vehicles than had been forecast, due to the end of the government’s “first car” excise tax rebate scheme and the slowdown in the domestic market as a consequence of the economic situation and higher costs resulting from the increase in the legal minimum daily wage to Bt.300, fluctuating prices, the appreciation of the Thai baht and the depressed global economy, as well as fierce competition in the industry, both domestically and in the ASEAN region. However, both management and employees of the Company continued to work determinedly, with confidence in the Company’s solidity and many years of successful business experience, and established appropriate strategies to create opportunities for expansion so as to enable the Company to overcome any obstacles that might arise. Thai Rung Union Car Plc posted consolidated revenues of Bt.2,450 million for 2014, down by 27%, and net income attributable to owners of the parent company of Bt.152 million, down by 57% on 2013, due to a decrease in revenues from contract vehicle assembly and painting, which have different margins in the product mix, as result of which the ratio of cost of sales to sales revenues increased compared with the previous year. The return on assets (ROA) was 4.9%, or 6.3% down from the previous year, and return on equity (ROE) was 4.95%, down from the previous year’s 6.75% due to lower profit as a proportion of revenue and higher capital expenditure. In any case the Company’s strategy continues to focus on boosting revenue from OEM parts making and contract assembly and painting work, which together currently account for approximately 87% of consolidated revenues. In addition, the Company has a strategy of expanding its customer business base to take in other sectors such as industrial, construction and agricultural machinery and premium grade motorcycles, a high added value niche market, a market which looks set to grow in the future, in order to reduce the risks associated with its dependence on a single industry. The Company also expanding to the Trucks market which continuing high demand in the truck market together with the coming into force of the AEC in 2015 which will lead to increased transport requirements in the region, with trucks and trailers playing a greater role in industry.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with Thai Financial Reporting Standards (“TFRS”) including related interpretations and guidelines promulgated by the Federation of Accounting Professions (“FAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission. The presentation of the financial statements has been made in compliance with the stipulations of the Notification of the Department of Business Development dated September 28, 2011, issued under the Accounting Act B.E. 2543. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in Thai language and expressed in Thai Baht. Such financial statements have been prepared for domestic reporting purposes. For the convenience of the readers not conversant with the Thai language, an English version of the financial statements has been provided by translating from the Thai version of the financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except where otherwise disclosed in the accounting policies. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Thai Financial Reporting Standards (“TFRS”) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Subsequent actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, and in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Thai Rung Union Car Public Company Limited and the following subsidiary companies (together referred to as the “Group”) Company’s name

All significant intercompany transactions and accounts were eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly through other subsidiaries, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Upon loss of control, the Company derecognized the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests and any components of other comprehensive income attributable to those subsidiaries. The Company recognized profit or loss arising on the loss of control in income statement. Any investment retained in the former subsidiaries shall be accounted for fair value from the date when control is lost.

Accounting standards that will become effective in the future The Federation of Accounting Professions has issued a number of revised and new accounting standards that become effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2015. These accounting standards were aimed at alignment with the corresponding International Financial Reporting Standards, with most of the changes directed towards revision of wording and terminology, and provision of interpretations and accounting guidance to users of accounting standards. The management of the Company believes they will not have any significant impact on the financial statements in the year in which they are adopted. However, some of these accounting standards involve changes to key principles, as discussed below: TAS 19 (revised 2014) Employee Benefits This revised standard requires that the entity recognize actuarial gains and losses immediately in other comprehensive income while the existing standard allows the entity to recognise such gains and losses immediately in profit or loss, or in other comprehensive income, or to recognise them gradually in profit or loss. At present, the Company and its subsidiaries immediately recognize actuarial gains and losses in profit or loss in the period in which they occur. The assessment of the management of the Company and its subsidiaries is that when the revised standard is applied in 2015 and the method of recognizing those gains and losses is changed to immediately recognize them in other comprehensive income, there will be no impact to provision for long-term employee benefit liabilities and brought forward retained earnings in the financial statements. TFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements TFRS 10 prescribes requirements for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and replaces the part dealing with consolidated financial statements as included in TAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. This standard changes the principles used in considering whether control exists. Under this standard, an investor is deemed to have control over an investee if it has rights, or is exposed, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and it has the ability to direct the activities that affect the amount of its returns, even if it holds less than half of the shares or voting rights. This important change requires the management to exercise a lot of judgement when reviewing whether the Company and its subsidiaries have control over the investees and determine which entities have to be included for preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The management of the Company and its subsidiaries believes that the standards will not have any significant impact on the Company and its subsidiaries’ financial statements. TFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities This standard stipulates disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates, including structured entities. This standard therefore has no financial impact to the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.

TFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement This standard provides guidance on how to measure fair value and stipulates disclosures related to fair value measurements. Entities are to apply the guidance under this standard if they are required by other accounting standards to measure their assets or liabilities at fair value. The effect of the change from the adoption of this standard is to be recognised prospectively. Based on the preliminary analysis, the management of the Company and its subsidiaries believes that this standard will not have any significant impact on the Company and its subsidiaries’ financial statements. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the statements of cash flows comprise cash balances, call deposits and highly liquid shortterm investments with an original maturity of three months or less and not subject to withdrawal restrictions. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand are a component of financing activities for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. 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. Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost principle, and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity and is calculated using standard cost adjusted to approximate average cost. Finished goods and work in process are valued at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost by weight average method) and net realisable value. Standard cost includes all production costs and attributable factory overheads. Raw materials and parts are valued at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost by weight average method) and net realisable value and are charged to production costs and cost of services whenever consumed. Spare parts of car service centers are valued at the lower of cost (moving average method) and net realisable value. Cars purchased for sales are valued at the lower of cost (specific identification method) and net realisable value. Allowance for diminution in value of inventories is recorded by considering old, slow-moving and obsolete inventories. 15 94 Annual Report 2014


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. Investments Investments in subsidiaries and associates Investments in subsidiaries and associates in the separate financial statements of the Company are accounted for using the cost method net of allowance for loss on diminution in value (if any). Investments in associates in the consolidated financial statements are accounted for using the equity method. Investment properties Investment properties are properties which are held to earn rental income, for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and less allowance for impairment loss (if any). Depreciation Depreciation is computed by the straight–line method based on the useful lives of assets of 30 years or, if shorter, over the remaining period of the lease. Depreciation is included in determining operating result and no depreciation is provided on land and property in progress. Repairs and maintenance are charged in profit or loss during the financial years in which they are incurred. The cost of major renovations is included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Group. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset. Reclassification to property, plant and equipment When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting. Property, plant and equipment Owned assets Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses of assets (if any). 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. Cost also may include transfers from other comprehensive income of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. 16

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. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation reserve are transferred to retained earnings. Leased assets Leases in terms of which the Group substantially assume 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 impairment losses. 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 profit or loss. 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 Group 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. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Depreciation method Useful life (years) Land improvement Straight-line method 20 Factory and building improvement Straight-line method 5 - 20 Office buildings and building improvement Straight-line method 30 Machinery, factory equipment and tools Straight-line method 5 - 20 Office equipment Straight-line method 5 Motor vehicles Straight-line method 5 No depreciation is provided on land or assets under construction. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate. 17

96 Annual Report 2014


Land leasehold rights Land leasehold rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of land leasehold rights is calculated by reference to their costs on a straight-line basis over the periods of lease agreements. Amortization is included in determining income. Intangible assets Research and development Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditure is capitalised only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group intend to and have sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and capitalised borrowing costs. Other development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Other intangible assets Intangible assets that are acquired are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and losses on decline in value. Amortization Amortization is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Amortization method Useful life (years) Software Straight-line method 5 Impairment The carrying amounts of the Group’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. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset 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. Trade and other accounts payable Trade and other accounts payable are stated at cost. Thai Rung Union Car Public Company Limited18 97


Employee benefits Short-term benefits The Group recognize salaries, wages, bonus and social security contribution as expenses on an accrual basis. Post-employment benefits - defined contribution plan The Group has established a provident fund that is a defined contribution plan. The assets of which are held in a separate trust fund. The provident fund is funded by the contribution from employees and the Group. Contributions to the provident fund are charged in profit or loss in the period to which they relate. Post-employment benefits - defined benefit plan The employee benefits liabilities in relation to the severance payment under the labor law and is recognised as a charge to results of operations over the employee’s service period. It is calculated by the estimation of the amount of future benefit to be earned by the employee in return for the service provided to the Group through the service period up to the retirement age and the amount is discounted to determine the present value. The reference discount rate is the yield rate of government bonds as at the reporting date. The calculation is based on the actuarial technique using the Projected Unit Credit Method. When the employee benefits are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service rendered by employee is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. When the actuarial assumptions are changed, the Group recognize actuarial gains or losses in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group 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. Treasury shares When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is classified as treasury shares and recognised 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 amount 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. 19

98 Annual Report 2014


Revenue Revenue excludes value added taxes and is arrived at after deduction of trade discounts and volume rebates. Sale of goods and services rendered Revenue is recognised in profit or loss 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. Service revenue is recognised when services have been rendered taking into account the stage of completion. Rental income Rental income from investment property is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income over the term of lease. Contingent rentals are recognised as income in the accounting period in which they are earned. Dividend income Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date the Group’s right to receive payments is established. Interest income Interest income is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues. Lease payment Payments made operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Income tax Income tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss. 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. 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 take into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The Group believe 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 20 Thai Rung Union Car Public Company Limited

99


information may become available that causes the Group to change their 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. Earnings per share The Company and its subsidiaries 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 and its subsidiaries by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for own shares held. Foreign currencies Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Thai Baht at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to Thai Baht at the foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at cost in foreign currencies are translated to Thai Baht using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Related parties are those parties linked to the Group and the Company as shareholders or by common shareholders or directors. Transactions with related parties are conducted at prices based on market prices or, where no market price exists, at contractually agreed prices. 4.1 Significant transactions for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 with related parties and director were as follows:

employees, whom it particularly sought to involve in activities for the benefit of society. The activities can be broken down as follows. 1) Care of Community and Society 2) Support for youth education 3) Activities to promote charitable deeds

Care of Community and Society In 2014 the Company focused particularly on the community living around the factory, including encouraging local public bodies to be vigorous and show their potential in looking after and providing service to the population of Nong Khaem and Bang Khae, which is where the Thai Rung Group’s businesses are established. The activities in 2014 were as follows.

Support for young people’s studies Support for classical music concert tickets for secondary students of Nong Khaem Temple School The Company has a policy of providing tickets to world-class classical music concerts for students and teachers in Nong Khaem and Bang Khae districts, aimed at giving them the opportunity to see classical music concert by world-class orchestras.

• Scholarships for children of Thai Rung employees Apart from granting scholarships to young people in Nong Khaem and Bang Khae, the Company also attaches importance to the education of its employees’ children who need support for their studies and as an incentive to employees who are parents to encourage them to work together with the Company. Dr. Pranee Phaoenchoke and Directors of the Company therefore establish a budget for scholarships for children of employees. Since 2005 the scholarships have been presented on 18 March every year, this being the anniversary of the death of Mr. Vichien Phaoenchoke, the founder of Thai Rung. In 2014 the Company granted 92 scholarships to children of employees, totalling Bt.323,000. Since 2005 the Company has granted 1,614 scholarships to children of employees, totalling Bt.4,747,000.
