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

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.

Mr. Surachai Chetchotisak

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

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.

Page 32: RS PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT …rs.listedcompany.com/misc/ar/20150423-rs-ar2014-en.pdf2015/04/23  · University of Notre Dame, Indiana, U.S.A Bachelor degree of Arts in

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

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.

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 businessIn 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 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.

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:

- 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

Page 110: RS PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT …rs.listedcompany.com/misc/ar/20150423-rs-ar2014-en.pdf2015/04/23  · University of Notre Dame, Indiana, U.S.A Bachelor degree of Arts in

0108

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.

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.

3.2 Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost.

3.3 Presentation 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.

3.4 Use 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.

Page 129: RS PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT …rs.listedcompany.com/misc/ar/20150423-rs-ar2014-en.pdf2015/04/23  · University of Notre Dame, Indiana, U.S.A Bachelor degree of Arts in

01270126

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.

4.1 Foreign 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, first-

out 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.

0128

4.5 Investments

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).

4.6 Property, 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:

Page 131: RS PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT …rs.listedcompany.com/misc/ar/20150423-rs-ar2014-en.pdf2015/04/23  · University of Notre Dame, Indiana, U.S.A Bachelor degree of Arts in

YearsLand improvement 8 years 7 months as land lease agreement termBuilding and construction 20 as land lease agreement termMachines and equipment 5 – 10Furniture and office equipment 5 – 10Vehicles 5

4.7 Intangible 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.

4.8 Impairment

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

Page 132: RS PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT …rs.listedcompany.com/misc/ar/20150423-rs-ar2014-en.pdf2015/04/23  · University of Notre Dame, Indiana, U.S.A Bachelor degree of Arts in

0130

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.

4.10 Employee 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.

4.11 Provisions

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.

4.12 Share 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

Page 133: RS PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT …rs.listedcompany.com/misc/ar/20150423-rs-ar2014-en.pdf2015/04/23  · University of Notre Dame, Indiana, U.S.A Bachelor degree of Arts in

01310130

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.

4.13 Revenue 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

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

Page 135: RS PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT …rs.listedcompany.com/misc/ar/20150423-rs-ar2014-en.pdf2015/04/23  · University of Notre Dame, Indiana, U.S.A Bachelor degree of Arts in

01330132

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.

4.17 Income 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.

4.18 Earnings 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.

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

The primary objectives of the Company’s capital management are to maintain their abilities to continue as a going

concern and to maintain an appropriate capital structure.

As at December 31, 2014, debt to equity ratio in the consolidated financial statements is 1.77 : 1 (Separate 0.52 : 1)
