THAILAND - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
With a well-developed infrastructure, a free-enterprise economy, generally pro-investment policies, and strong export industries, Thailand achieved steady growth due largely to industrial and agriculture exports - mostly electronics, agricultural commodities, automobiles and parts, and processed foods. Thailand is trying to maintain growth by encouraging domestic consumption and public investment to offset weak exports in 2012. Unemployment, at less than 1% of the labor force, stands as one of the lowest levels in the world, which puts upward pressure on wages in some industries. Thailand also attracts nearly 2.5 million migrant workers from neighboring countries. The Thai government is implementing a nation-wide 300 baht ($10) per day minimum wage policy and deploying new tax reforms designed to lower rates on middle-income earners. The Thai economy has weathered internal and external economic shocks in recent years. The global economic severely cut Thailand's exports, with most sectors experiencing double-digit drops. In 2009, the economy contracted 2.3%. However, in 2010, Thailand's economy expanded 7.8%, its fastest pace since 1995, as exports rebounded. In late 2011 growth was interrupted by historic flooding in the industrial areas in Bangkok and its five surrounding provinces, crippling the manufacturing sector. Industry recovered from the second quarter of 2012 onward with GDP growth at 5.5% in 2012. The government has approved flood mitigation projects worth $11.7 billion, which were started in 2012, to prevent similar economic damage, and an additional $75 billion for infrastructure over the next seven years with a plan to start in 2013.

The company's Account Receivable Ratio is calculated as 4.08 and 10.86
in 2012 and 2011 respectively. This ratio measures the efficiency of the
company in managing its trade debtors to generate revenue. A lower ratio may
indicate over extension and collection problems. Conversely, a higher ratio may
indicate an overtly stringent policy. In this case, the company's A/R ratio in
2012 decreased from 2011. This would suggest the company had deteriorated in
the management of its debt collections.
Inventory Turnover in Days Ratio indicates the liquidity of inventory.
It estimates the number of days that it will take to sell the current
inventory. Inventory is particularly sensitive to change in business
activities. The inventory turnover in days has decreased from 85 days at the
end of 2011 to 62 days at the end of 2012. This represents a positive trend.
And Inventory turnover has increased from 4.27 times in year 2011 to 5.85 times
in year 2012.
The company's Total Asset Turnover is calculated as 0.7 times and 1.97
times in 2012 and 2011 respectively. This ratio is determined by dividing total
assets into total sales turnover. The ratio measures the activity of the assets
and the ability of the firm to generate sales through the use of the assets.
