According to the Federation of Accounting Professions' Announcement No. 21/2550 regarding "Exemption of Accounting Standards", the Foundation elected to adopt the exemption by not applying Thai Accounting Standard No.25 "Cash Flow Statements" and No. 48 "Financial Instruments Disclosure and Presentation".

The Federation of Accounting Professions has issued Notifications of Federation of Accounting Professions No. 9/2550 dated May 2, 2007, No. 38/2550 dated September 21, 2007 and No. 62/2550 dated December 7, 2007 regarding the following accounting standards that were announced in the Royal Gazette, but were not in effect in 2007:

  TAS 54 (Revised 2007) Non-current assets held for sales and discontinued operation

These accounting standards will supersede previously issued accounting standards when they become effective. The management has assessed the impact of these accounting standards, when they are effective, for financial periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008 and does not expect them to have a material effect on the Foundation financial statements.
