Regarding The Company's dividend policy, Federation of Accounting Profession has revised accounting method to record the investment of subsidiaries, jointed venture and associate company in Company Financial Statement, from an equity method to a cost method. The revision causes a difference in profit/loss reported in consolidated and company financial statement. Therefore, for clarification, we would like to revise the dividend policy as follow; "The Company intends to pay dividends to shareholders not less than 40% of net profit after tax reported in the Consolidated Financial Statement. In the event that the Company is in default of principal or interest payment under the debentures in any installment, the Company shall not pay dividends in any form whatsoever to the shareholders of the Company. Dividend payment will depend on cash flow and investment obligation of Company and subsidiaries including any necessity and suitability in the future. And it shall not exceed the retained earnings which indicated in Company Financial Statement." Please be informed accordingly Yours faithfully, -Signed- Vikrom Sriprataks (Mr.) Director Advanced Info Services Plc.
