Report of The Board of Directors
Throughout 2006, the property market was somewhat sluggish and slowed down from the previous year. Several negative factors included a surge in high oil prices, which fuelled inflation, and fluctuations in the Baht value and interest rates. In addition, several regions of Thailand were flooded, while the political crisis directly affected consumer purchasing power by raising among consumers worries regarding their future earnings. As a result, people delayed making decisions for spending on non-essential items, which included house purchases and repairs. Moreover, total domestic production capacity of floor and wall tiles rose to 180 million square meters per year while demand stood at only 140 million square meters. In addition, 15 million square meters of tiles from China were imported for sale in the mid-range and high-end markets. Therefore, each tile factory within the industry had to cut production capacity and pursue aggressive sales promotion activities, making it exceedingly difficult to adjust ceramic tile selling prices to match rising production costs, especially with regard to energy and transportation costs.
Although the Company’s total sales rose, our net profit declined, compared to the same period in 2005. In a bid to maintain the Company’s profitability, the board of directors focused on reducing production costs. During the past year, the Company invested in machinery to recycle waste heat created during the production process. This enabled the Company to cut natural gas costs by 10% compared to a year earlier. The Company also had more output from production capacity expansion with two more kilns from March, 2006. The Company was able to increase output by 480,000 square meters per month. Therefore, production costs per unit decreased, thanks to an ‘economy of scale’ from effective utilization of the factory’s production capacity. This enabled the Company to maintain gross profits at over 36%.
![Page 7: Dcc 06](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020423/568c33971a28ab02358d4a26/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

As of the end of 2006, the Company’s production capacity of floor and wall ceramic tiles, from both the Dynasty Ceramic factory and the Tile Top factory, was approximately 46 million square meters a year, using 75% of existing production capacity. The Board considered a plan to expand production output by 6 million square meters a year in 2006 and decided this should be postponed as the domestic demand for ceramic tiles has not increased significantly. Existing combined production capacity is still sufficient to meet the current level of demand.
To date, the Company has strengthened its domestic production and marketing bases and has been able to respond to customers’ needs by producing products featuring innovative patterns and conveniently offering them at locations close to customers’ homes. During 2006, the Company opened 32 new ceramic tiles factory outlets under the Company’s three distributing subsidiaries, namely Pick and Pay Co. Ltd., Muangthong Ceramics Co. Ltd. and Worldwide Ceramics Co. Ltd. Combined with the existing 110 factory outlets, the company has a total of 142 factory outlets. It also has 32 branch warehouses across Thailand. With 130 distributors nationwide, the company has 304 distribution stores for goods made by its factories. This enables the Company to maintain the biggest share of Thailand’s ceramic tile market.
Meanwhile, it was deemed necessary to adopt a more efficient distribution and inventory system for factory outlets and stores across the country. The Company has invested in linking data networks between the company, its factories and factory outlets nationwide. Furthermore, the inventory, accounting and financial systems of the head office and factory operations have been standardized with an online computer system. The total investment for this upgrade was valued at 60 million baht. The Company started testing the systems from the end of 2006. When the enhancement is completed, the Company will be able to better control production, sales and inventory volumes, while effectively monitoring sales figures and debt levels, enabling it to reduce its future workforce and management expenditures.
Dynasty Ceramic Plc and its subsidiaries posted total sales of 4,452 million baht, up by 198 million baht, or 5% growth from a year earlier. While production costs increase 4%, the Company’s marketing and sales costs rose due to increasing diesel prices resulting in increased transport costs. In addition, the Company recorded sales and management expenses from three distribution companies which opened new branches. Hence, net profit after income tax for 2006 is lower than 2005 results. The total net profit for the group was 567 million baht, a 182-million-baht decrease from last year, providing earnings per share for 2006 of 1.39 baht.
Apart from satisfying our customers’ needs, another corporate mission entails operating the business to ensure the highest return on equity (ROE) for our shareholders. In 2006, the Company had an ROE rate of 27% and an average dividend payment rate of 8% of the average market share price. With this outstanding ROE rate, the Company was named by Forbes magazine as one of the 200 small Asian companies with the best operating results in 2006 (Asia’s 200 Best Under A Billion). Only 11 companies in Thailand were recognised with this honour. This is the Company’s second such acknowledgement, with the first occasion being in 2003
![Page 8: Dcc 06](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020423/568c33971a28ab02358d4a26/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

In 2007, the Company intends to manage inventory to better complement sales. Since there is no plan to increase production capacity, with plans only to open 15 more outlets and expenditures for computer equipment, the combined investment outlay will not exceed 100 million baht. As a result, the Company will have sufficient liquidity to repay loans to lower its interest expense burden. The goal is to reduce the debt to equity ratio down to 0.8 times to adapt to the economic slowdown. If everything transpires as planned, the Board of Directors will be able to increase dividend payment rates for shareholders. The Company would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders, customers and business partners who have contributed to the Company’s continuous growth. The Board of Directors, management and staff are confident that they will be able to operate the business to meet the needs of consumers and simultaneously continue to develop organizational efficiency. We will continue to focus on corporate governance in our management, which will enable the company to realise sustained growth well into the future.
On behalf of the Board of Directors

Scope and Authority of the Board of Directors
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the Company’s operations and was duly appointed by the meeting of shareholders. There are currently 10 Directors, with six Non-executive Directors and four Independent directors. The Board meets at least four times a year. The major agenda of each meeting is clearly set out in advance throughout the year and details of the agenda will be submitted to the Board of Directors beforehand for consideration. Consideration of the agenda items are executed fairly, taking into account benefits to shareholders and the parties concerned. Opportunities for expressing opinions freely are ensured at the meetings. Sufficient time is allocated for careful discussion and voicing opinions. The Chairman ensures that appropriate time is spent on the meeting.
Nomination of Directors The nomination of Directors is not reviewed by the normal procedure of the
Nominating Committee since most Directors are representatives of the shareholders. There are also Independent Directors who are representatives of minor shareholders. However, the company has set guidelines for the appointment of Directors of the Board and the Committee considers candidates’ qualifications, knowledge, skills and their ability before proposing their selected candidates to the Shareholders.
In accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company, the Board of Directors must comprise at least five members. The Shareholders’ Meeting selects and appoints Directors in accordance with the following guidelines and method:
1.The selection shall be determined by a majority vote. Each Shareholder has a vote equivalent to one vote per share.
2.Each Shareholder may use all his votes to appoint one or more individuals as Directors, but may not divide his votes with any other persons.
3.Candidates receiving the most votes in successive descending order will be appointed as Directors according to the number of Directors required, or to be voted for, on that particular occasion. In the event that there is a tie between candidates in the next tier, which would exceed the number of Directors required, the Chairman of the Meeting will cast the deciding vote.
Directors’ Term of Office At every Annual Meeting of Ordinary Shareholders, a number of one in three
(1/3) of the total number of Directors at that time will vacate their offices. Directors who are obliged to vacate their offices in the first or second year following the Company registration will be decided by a ballot. During successive years, the longest-serving Directors will vacate their offices. Directors who vacate their offices may be re-elected to assume their seats by the Shareholders’ meeting. Termination of a Director’s term occurs thus: by the death of a Director or voluntary resignation; and by removal with a Shareholders’ Meeting’s resolution with a vote of not less than three in four (3/4) of the number of shareholders in attendance with voting rights, and a collective number of votes of at least one half of shares held by Shareholders in attendance and with voting rights.

Major Changes in 2006
1. In early March 2006, the project to expand the production capacity of floor tiles at the Dynasty Ceramic plant, with two added kilns, was completed. This resulted in a monthly increase of 480,000 square meters or combined output from the two companies of around 46 million square meters per year.
2. After the merger with three major ceramic distributors in the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company invested in linking data between the Company, factories and factory outlets nationwide. Also, the inventory, accounting and financial systems of the headquarters and factories have been standardized by using an online computer system. The total investment for such improvements amounted to 60 million baht. The Company started testing the systems from the end of 2006 by initially installing the systems at 120 outlets nationwide. When the project is completed, the Company will be able to control production, sales and inventory volumes, while effectively controlling sales figures and debt levels, enabling it to reduce future workforce and management expenditures.
3. During 2006, the Company opened 32 more ceramic tiles factory outlets under the Company’s three distributing subsidiaries, namely Pick and Pay Co. Ltd., Muangthong Ceramics Co. Ltd. and Worldwide Ceramics Co. Ltd. Combined with the existing 110 factory outlets, the company has a total of 142 factory outlets and 32 branch warehouses across Thailand. With 130 distributors nationwide, the company has 304 distribution stores for goods made by its factories. This enables the Company’s products to better reach individual customers.
4. The Company invested in machinery to cut energy costs in line with the national energy-saving project by improving machinery able to recycle waste heat created during the production process. This was completed in the middle of 2006. This enabled the Company to cut natural gas costs by 10% compared to a year earlier.

Market Situation and Competition
During 2006, the floor and wall ceramic tile business saw some of its most difficult times, owing to the disastrous floods which proved to be more serious than in previous years. Floods prevented affected residents from entering their homes to conduct improvements and repairs; when water levels started to recede, the end of 2006 was approaching. The Company forecasts that purchasing power in 2007 will rise again, boosted by demand for home repairs and interior decoration works after the floods, which will help the market for repairs, (the Company’s target market), to expand again. Seventy percent of the Company’s main markets are in the provinces; most represent the market for replacement tiles. In addition, increased economic and political confidence and the decrease in oil prices and lending interest rates will probably serve as positive factors leading to an upswing in tile consumption in 2007. Tile consumption for home repairs and decoration in 2007 is expected to increase 10% from a year earlier, or by an equivalent of 130-140 million square meters per year.
Although the demand for tiles will increase, it is not sufficient to absorb the combined production capacity of total floor and wall tile manufacturer, which stands at around 180 million square meters, approximately 40 million square meters higher than actual domestic demand. There are also imports of tiles from China for sale in the mid-range to high-end markets. As a result, selling prices cannot be raised. Moreover, periodical price dumping occurs. It is predicted that though sales will increase, manufacturers will continue to engage in price wars.
In such a competitive situation, Dynasty Ceramic Public Co. Ltd. holds an advantage over other manufacturers because the Company is well-equipped with production capacity and its own distribution channels covering every region of the country. It also has another important advantage since it has the lowest production costs in the industry. Production costs in 2007 are expected to improve in line with oil prices, which have started to decrease. The company expects that its net profit for 2007 will grow 15% from a year earlier.
Corporate Business Goals
The Company has set a sales target for 2007 at 15% higher than the previous year, as it has opened 15 more factory outlets, which will help expand new customer
![Page 34: Dcc 06](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020423/568c33971a28ab02358d4a26/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

bases, in line with construction trends which are expected to rise from last year. The Company is determined to maintain its market share in the domestic market as high as possible, or at 30% of total market value. As a result of the Company’s ongoing manufacturing capacity expansion, the Company and its subsidiaries currently have a combined maximum production capacity of 46 million square meters per year or 3,800,000 square meters per month. Consequently, the production cost per unit has decreased, thanks to the expansion in manufacturing capacity. With reference to the plan to expand production capacity by adding two more kilns, representing an additional 6 million square meters a year, the Board of Directors decided this project should be postponed until demand recovers sufficiently. In 2007, the Company had no investment projects that required large outlays, as it plans to open 15 more outlets for nationwide distribution coverage and aims to improve operations for greater efficiency, to further reduce production and administrative costs. In 2006, the Company’s expenditure on branch expansion and manufacturing capacity amounted to 700 million baht. Therefore, from 2007 onwards, return on investments made over previous years will start to be realised.
The Company continues with its policy to pay dividends every quarter. The dividend pay-out rate is 70% of net profit after corporate income tax, depending on the economic situation, operating results and future business plans. For 2007, the Company’s net profit is expected to increase as a result of rising sales, an expected decrease in production costs as full production capacity will be utilized, and decreasing fuel costs in transportation, as well as lower debts and interest rates. The company aims to reduce its debt to equity ratio down to 0.8 times. As the Company’s investment outlay is not large, it will have sufficient reserves to repay all its long-term loans. If everything transpires as planned, the Board of Directors will be able to increase the dividend payment rate for shareholders. The company continues to have short-term loans and overdraft,which have lower interest rates than long-term loans, in line with the Company’s spending plan requiring more inventory in accordance with the additional number of branches.
In the mid-term, the Company expects the country’s overall economy to grow from stimulus government measures, lowered interest rates and a more relaxed political situation after the general election towards the end of the year. The Company therefore has a policy to use resources effectively to create maximum benefit. It plans to maintain and repair machinery and equipment on a regular basis and focus on becoming a manufacturer with the lowest costs, to maintain its position as the biggest market share holder. If the demand for ceramic tiles rises, the Company will consider production capacity expansion on an ongoing basis without having to increase capital, as it still has sufficient working capital and the debt to equity ratio remains low. It may also be able to increase the return on equity rate for dividend payments to shareholders.

Risk Factors
The economy in 2006 was relatively sluggish. The main causes were escalating oil prices, domestic and international natural disasters, and rising interest rates. These factors all affected business operations. The Company closely monitored the situation so that it could adopt a suitable business direction, taking into account potential risks as follows:
1. Risk from business competition
As the economy is likely to slow down further and domestic manufacturing capacity remains higher than demand, competition in the market for ceramic tile products will intensify. To increase competitiveness, the management accords a high importance to research and development for manufacturing processes, to decrease production costs. Over the past year, the Company invested in machinery to reuse waste heat, which resulted in a huge saving in energy costs. In 2007, the Company will develop products that are more colorful and beautiful, with lower costs, to meet customers’ needs. The company also has its own retail stores and branch expansion activities every year, so it can handle the risk from price competition. In addition, the Company has an export market which it has focused on significantly yet because it wishes to meet domestic demand as its first priority. If there is manufacturing capacity remaining, the Company can then expand its export base.
2.Risk from fluctuation of the price of energy used in manufacturing processes Energy costs used in ceramic tile manufacturing processes entail natural gas and electricity. During last year, production costs increased significantly as the price of natural gas continued to rise throughout the year. Consequently, the average production cost of ceramic ties was higher than estimated. To reduce the risk from fluctuations in the price of energy used in the manufacturing process, in 2006 the management considered improving and modifying machinery to reuse waste heat created during the production process. This enabled the Company to cut natural gas costs by 10%, compared to a year earlier.
3. Credit Risk
![Page 37: Dcc 06](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020423/568c33971a28ab02358d4a26/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

The company has credit risk in relation to trade debtors. It is cautious in extending credit as its customer bases are diverse. The highest risk involved with providing credit will be equivalent to the value of account receivables in the balance sheet.
4. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is associated with changes in interest rates that adversely affect the Company and its subsidiaries in current fiscal cycles and successive cycles. The Company and its subsidiaries expect that the effects from a rise in interest rates will have no significance on the Company’s interest payables, since the Company chooses to utilise local loans which are short-term loans. These have lower interest rates than long-term loans, which quote interest rates using references from the money market.
5. Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The Company forecasts that the impact from foreign currency exchange is insignificant as the Company does not borrow from foreign financial institutions. However, the Company and its subsidiaries face some risk from foreign currency exchange as the Company and its subsidiaries have trust receipts payable and account payables in dollar and euro currencies. The Company, however, has planned to minimize the said risk by seeking new resources both locally and in neighboring countries and entering into fixed-price sale contracts, apart from engaging in research and development to find cheaper raw materials and substitute raw materials for the production process.
6.Risk from imports of ceramic tiles Over the past years, several distributors and retailers of floor and wall tiles have
directly imported low-cost floor tiles from China for domestic sale. This caused a decrease in orders from local manufacturers. Such a situation only has a slight effect because the imported goods are polished floor tiles sold in the high-end market, and are not products manufactured and sold by the Company. If they imported products of the same kind as the Company produces, they would not be able to compete with the Company in terms of production costs, because when transportation costs are taken into consideration, the costs would be higher than the products manufactured locally. They would also have to stockpile products in various designs.
However, as the Company has an internal control system that can monitor operations to ascertain whether they are in accordance with corporate plans or goals, management is able to manage potential risks in a timely manner. The Executive Board also convenes regularly to review standards and adjust plans to minimize business risks for each situation and period.

Related Transactions
Dynasty Ceramic Public Co. Ltd. has connected transactions with its subsidiaries as follows:
1. The Company is a sole distributor of all ready made products purchased from Tile Top Industry Pubic Co. Ltd., which manufactures floor, wall and decorative tiles, at wholesale prices. The Company is the sole distributor. In the second half of 2006, Tile Top Industry Public Co. Ltd. contracted Dynasty Ceramic Public Co. Ltd. to manage its operations, inventory (including raw materials and packaging), purchasing and sales, financial and accounting systems with an online computer system, with a yearly budget of 12 million baht, resulting in connected transactions. Dynasty Ceramic Public Co. Ltd. rented warehouse facilities located at Tile Top factory for storage of products purchased from Tile Top Industry PCL and contracted Tile Top Industry PCL to manage the Company’s warehouses, within a budget of 4 million baht.
2. Dynasty Ceramic Public Co. Ltd. delivered and sold its own products and those purchased to the three distributors, namely Pick and Pay Co. Ltd., Muangthong Ceramic Co. Ltd. and Worldwide Ceramic Co. Ltd., at wholesale prices, resulting in connected sales of products. Moreover, Dynasty Ceramic designed shop format and arranged management systems for all the three subsidiaries as well as collecting fees on the product distribution right on a yearly basis. In addition, during the second half of 2006, the three distributors contracted Dynasty Ceramic Public Co. Ltd. to manage their operations, inventory, purchasing and sale, financial and accounting systems with an online computer system, with an annual budget of 0.1 million baht per branch, resulting in connected transactions. Since Dynasty Ceramic is in charge of controlling its own and its subsidiaries’ financial policies, Tile Top Industry PCL borrowed working capital to manufacture products for Dynasty Ceramic. Payments were made in advance on some items produced and distributed to Dynasty Ceramic Public Co. Ltd. This is a means of providing financial support to its subsidiary. There were also borrowings between Tile Top Industry PCL and Dynasty PCL, and Muangthong PCL, with the borrowers issuing a promissory note to the loan provider. Interest is calculated according to prevailing market rates on the date the borrowing was made.
The financial statements of Dynasty Ceramic PLC include transactions with related companies and the financial statements reflect the effects of these transactions on the basis determined by the companies concerned.

Management discussion & Analysis Analysis of Operating Results for 2006 for Dynasty Ceramic Public Co. Ltd. only
The Company recorded total sales revenue of 4,141 million baht for 2006, down by 104 million baht or 2% from a year earlier, owing to the adjustment in selling prices between its subsidiaries. The cost of sales in 2006 was 2,965 million baht, or calculated as 72% of total sales, compared to the cost of sales in 2005 which stood at 2,827 million baht or calculated as 67% of total sales in 2005. The cost of sales rose because of the adjustment in buying prices with its subsidiaries, resulting in a gross benefit of 1,176 million baht for 2006, or 28% of total sales. The decrease is due to the said adjustment in selling-purchasing prices (in 2005, the gross profit was 33%). The company had selling and administrative costs in 2006 of 487 million baht, up 69 million baht from the year earlier, or a 17% rise. Most of the expenses were spent on increased transportation costs resulting from rising oil prices and sales volumes. The company had interest expenses of 67 million baht for 2006, up by 47 million baht from the year earlier. This is due to borrowings for the production capacity expansion and for investment in an online computer system during 2006. As a result, the company recorded profit before tax of 736 million baht, 295 million baht lower than the year earlier. The allocation for corporate income tax for 2006 was 169 million baht, 114 million baht lower than the year earlier (in 2005 the allocation was 283 million baht). The Company used a corporate income tax exemption privilege according to the Revenue Department Director-General announcement No. 156, dated 15 September, 2006. On an investment of 110 million baht in production capacity expansion and a computer system, the Company was able to obtain a tax exemption privilege of 8 million baht. Consequently, the Company had a net profit after income tax of 567 million baht in 2006, after recognizing share in profit of 97 million baht from its subsidiaries (Tile Top Industry PCL and the other three subsidiaries). In 2005, the Company recognized a net profit of 43 million baht from its subsidiaries. Hence, the Company’s net profit for 2006 was 182 million baht lower than that of the year earlier, or a year-on-year decrease of 24%. Earnings per share in 2006 were calculated at 1.39 baht per share, while earnings per share in 2005 were at 1.84 baht per share. Earnings per share decreased 0.45 baht per share. Analysis of the Company’s balance sheet as of 31 December, 2006, compared to the same date of last year
Total assets for the Company were valued at 3,844 million baht, up 407 million baht from a year earlier, or a 12% increase. This was due to the Company’s production expansion in 2006, resulting in inventory valued at 745 million baht as of 31 December, 2006, 196 million baht higher than the previous year. The Company’s accounts receivable decreased by 66 million baht and receivables from subsidiaries as of 31 December, 2006, increased by 135 million baht from branch expansion. The Company’s total current assets as at 31 December, 2006, were 1,195 million baht, up by 221 million baht from a year earlier. The amount of investments in allowance for debts in its subsidiaries (Tile Top Industry Public Co. Ltd, Pick and Pay Co. Ltd, Muangthong Ceramic Co. Ltd, and Worldwide Ceramic Co. Ltd.) increased from 646 million baht in 2005 to 742 million baht in 2006, resulted from increased profit of the subsidiaries recognized by Dynasty Ceramic. The value of property, plant and equipment as of 31 December, 2006, rose by 56 million baht from a year earlier, with a book value totalling 1,137 million baht. The majority was from projects involving an online computer system, inventory, sale and purchasing, accounting and shop retail systems for branches nationwide
Total liabilities for the Company were 1,825 million baht. The debt to equity ratio was 0.90 times, an increase from the previous year in which the debt to equity ratio was 0.86 times. The rise stemmed from the Company’s overdraft, short-term loans and long-term loans due
![Page 60: Dcc 06](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020423/568c33971a28ab02358d4a26/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)

within one year, which increased by 127 million baht. Its long-term loan increased 10 million baht. The Company’s short-term loans to subsidiaries rose by 100 million baht and accounts payable and payable to subsidiaries rose 10 million baht. Accumulated profit rose 174 million baht from a year earlier, resulting in shareholders’ equity of 2,019 million baht as of 31 December, 2006, providing a book value per share of 4.95 baht. Analysis of the Company and its subsidiaries’ operating results
The Company and its subsidiaries had total sales revenue for 2006 of 4,452 million baht, rising by 197 million baht from a year earlier, or calculated at 5%. The rise resulted from a change in recording of retail prices of the three distributing companies shown in consolidated financial statements. In 2006, the cost of sales was 2,829 million baht, or calculated at 64% of total sales, compared to the cost of sales in 2005 which was 2,710 million baht, or calculated at 64% of total sales. The cost of sales was slightly different from that of a year earlier, resulting in a gross profit for 2006 of 1,623 million baht, or calculated at 36% of total sales, similar to the previous year. This resulted from the adjustment of selling prices in connected transactions (the gross profit for 2005 was calculated at 36%). The Company had selling and administrative costs of 735 million baht in 2006, rising by 260 million baht from a year earlier, or a 55% increase. This was caused by a hike in oil prices pushing up the transportation costs, and by the consolidation of selling and administrative costs from three subsidiaries. The company had not yet merged the business during the first quarter of 2005. The company had interest expenses of 87 million baht for 2006, up by 57 million baht from a year earlier. This is due to borrowings for the production capacity expansion and for investment in an online computer system during 2006. As a result the company recorded profit before tax of 798 million baht, 269 million baht lower than a year earlier. The allocation for corporate income tax for 2006 was 230 million baht, 88 million baht lower than a year earlier (in 2005 the allocation was 318 million baht). Hence, the Company’s net profit after income tax for 2006 totalled 567 million baht. Earnings per share in 2006 were calculated at 1.39 baht per share, while earnings per share in 2005 were 1.84 baht per share. Earnings per share decreased 0.45 baht per share. Analysis of the balance sheet of the company and its subsidiaries as of 31 December, 2006, compared to the same period last year
Total assets for the Company and its subsidiaries were valued at 4,349 million baht, increasing by 205 million baht or 5% from a year earlier. This is due to the production capacity expansion in 2006 to support additional branches of three subsidiaries. Consequently, the inventory as of 31 December, 2006, was valued at 1,392 million baht, 260 baht higher than a year earlier. Accounts receivable decreased by 54 million baht. As a result, the Company’s current assets as of 31 December, 2006, totalled 1,686 million baht, a 194 million baht increase from a year earlier.
Total liabilities for the Company and its subsidiaries were valued at 2,306 million baht. The debt to shareholders’ equity ratio was 1.13 times, down from a year earlier in which the debt to shareholders’ equity ratio was 1.21 times. This is due to the fact that in 2006 the Company’s total liabilities increased 33 million baht while in 2005 total liabilities rose 640 million baht from production capacity expansion. In 2006, shareholders’ equity was 2,044 million baht, 173 million baht higher than a year earlier, partly from interim net profit. As a result, the Company and its subsidiaries in 2006 had lower debt to shareholders’ equity ratio.

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR
To The Shareholders and Board of Directors of Dynasty Ceramic Public Company Limited I have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Dynasty Ceramic Public Company Limited and subsidiaries as at December 31, 2006 and 2005, the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the balance sheets of Dynasty Ceramic Public Company Limited as at December 31, 2006 and 2005, the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management as to their correctness and completeness of the presentation. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits. I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dynasty Ceramic Public Company Limited and subsidiaries as at December 31, 2006 and 2005, the consolidated results of their operations, the consolidated changes in their shareholders’ equity and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended and the financial position of Dynasty Ceramic Public Company Limited as at December 31, 2006 and 2005, the results of its operations, the changes in its shareholders’ equity and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
