Modernform Public Company Limited reported quite a strong financial performance in 2013 although the business had been
affected by several problems notably labor shortage in the industrial sector especially in the real estate business that delayed our
product delivery as well as Thailandûs political havoc towards the year end which not only slowed down business activities but will
definitely make an impact into 2014. However, purchasing orders that we have accumulated so far should help lessen the impact at least
for a short while.
For 2014, we have already put in place risk management plans to handle crisis at various levels. Simultaneously, we plan to
expand our markets, manage production costs and expenses by expanding into regional markets with potential growth especially those
under the Asean Economic Community (AEC) and constantly launch new products. Our business expansion strategy includes our quest
for new business partners here and abroad.
We wish to affirm that we are ready to respond to consumers with eclectic needs and increasing demands in various different
environments. We are confident that 2014 will be another year of our growth and we commit to enhancing our management and
developing new innovative products.
Here at Modernform Public Company Limited, we constantly highlight the importance of social and environmental development
starting from stage one of design to choosing raw materials, manufacturing, delivering and servicing until our products reach consumers
where environmental impacts and social wellbeing is taken into consideration. In addition, our employees are encouraged to engage in
social activities regularly held by us in education, healthcare and community safety areas to increase their social awareness.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and the Management, we wish to extend my sincere appreciation to our colleagues,
customers, suppliers, shareholders and all relevant parties for your unwavering trust and support in us.

Financial Highlights for the Year 2013
004
The Thai economy in 2013 was slowing down in almost all sectors starting from Q1 when compared to its growth a year earlier.
While itûs true that the economy continued to expand in Q1, exports, consumptions and private sector investments however were
dwindling. Productions in industrial and agricultural businesses also went down. The fall was somewhat delayed by spending in the
public sector. Yet, there were other negative factors affecting the Thai economy which included the much-vulnerable global economy,
slow recovery of major economies such as the US and the EU and the strengthening of Thai Baht. Only Thailandûs tourism sectors
recorded better performance compared to the same period a year ago.
Worrying that stronger Thai Baht would diminish the growth of Thai economy during the second half of the year as exports could
fall, Bank of Thailandûs Monetary Policy Committee decided to cut policy interest rate by 0.25 per cent from 2.75 per cent to 2.50 per cent
per annum. In response to half-year economic figures which were much lower than anticipated, the National Economic and Social
Development Board (NESDB) also cut its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) forecast to 3.8-4.3 per cent. Risk factors restricting the Thai
economy during the latter half of the year were slow recovery of the global economic engines, weakening Chinese economy and losing
stream of impacts from the public sectorûs economic stimulus measures. Besides, there were risk factors from delayed public sector
investments both under the Baht 3.5 billion water management project and the Baht 2 trillion investment plan in mega infrastructure projects.
During the second half of 2013, the Thai economy continued to slump compared to a year earlier although the worldûs economic
power such as the US, the Euro Zone and China started to pick up. Thai exports failed to fully benefit from the worldûs better economic
prospect and the weakening Thai Baht as foreign investments especially those in the stock markets started to move their money back as
the US tapered its QE. Meanwhile, household spending fell due to concerns of higher costs of living. Together with higher household
debts, delayed disbursements of government payment, these negatively affected attempts to restore domestic purchasing power.
Towards the year end, a hope to see the Thai economy recover after its staggering condition since earlier of the year was
entirely shattered when political situation intensified in October. The governmentûs attempt to pass the amnesty bill led to massive
protests from the opposition that eventually resulted in the government dissolving the Parliament and calling for the general election on
February 2, 2014.
The Thai Chamber of Commerce announced that its Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) in late 2013 continued to slide for the
ninth consecutive month and was the lowest during the past 24 months. The sharp fall was due to concerns over political unrest and
Bangkok shutdown. Thai politics remained highly unstable although the Parliament was dissolved and a new general election was called.
The NESDB expected the Thai GDP to grow by 3 per cent in 2013 with an average all-year inflation of 2.4 per cent.
As for economic forecast in 2014, Thailandûs central bank has already slashed its anticipated GDP growth to 3 per cent as it
foresees that the private sector spending will still not recover or may recover but at a slower pace than expected. Besides, the most
worrying factor is the much-delayed public sector investment as it will take some time for the new government to settle before public
investment could kick start. The Bank of Thailand expects the Thai economy to remain much in doldrums during the first half of 2014
while exports will have a better chance thanks to brighter global economic conditions which could help sustaining the Thai economy.
During the latter half of the year, the Thai economy should recover after political instability and conflict comes to an end with the new
government in place and the public sector starting investment to a certain degree.
Overall speaking, the local real estate sector continued to expand in 2013 in tandem with the growing economy, increasing
number of population and the governmentûs infrastructure projects worth hundreds of billion Baht. This is the cases especially of property
projects in major provinces such as Chiangmai, Nakhon Ratchasima, Khon Kaen, Songkhla and Phuket which are considered hot spots
for major real estate developers who have developed a large number of residential projects there during the past few years, prompting
residential condominiums in these provinces to grow exponentially. Regarding office building, although affected from economic decline
Report of Board of Directors - Summary of the 2013 Performance
005
and depleting consumer confidence, impact remained restricted as the growth of office space take-up was in a better situation
compared to 2012 while lease agreements of major office space continued to be signed and very few was cancelled. Negative factors
affecting the real estate business were shortage of construction labor, higher wages and higher costs of construction materials, all of
which drove construction costs up and delayed contractorûs delivery schedule. Construction delay of major property projects affected
furniture delivery which inevitably extended the delivery of our products and the booking of our sales even further.
Outlook for the real estate business in 2014 will very much depend on domestic investments. At the time of writing, as political
unrest still continues while several parties still expect the Thai economy and consumer confidence to recover in the latter half of the year,
yet, after the end of the political conflict, we expect to see fewer major projects being launched and more projects being postponed. The
recovery however could be quick thanks to Thailandûs strong economic fundaments and the strength of its private sector.
Product Design and Development
In 2013, we continued to develop our products as we had done during the past years.
The home furniture product group still focused at project customers since this remained the large market that Modernform
continued to win trust and accolades from real estate developers. In other words, thanks to the quality of our products that consumers
deeply believe in, project developers usually highlight our furniture as one of their unique selling points.
The office furniture product group set the all-time high sales record this year. Part of this success came from our Axis furniture
considered a business solution that can create a happier workplace while helping unveil employeeûs potential. Besides, Axis is perceived
to stimulate creativity energy in meeting room while at the same time works efficiently as a storage system really crucial for customerûs
success. Our Axis office furniture, which won Chicagoûs Good Design Award, delivers a touch of difference in the office furniture market
both in terms of function and form and has so far been one of our top sellers. Simultaneously, exclusive project-based office furniture
design was also an overwhelming success as we managed to win rave reviews from project owners and interior decorators in Bangkok
and provinces. This is an area of success that we will keep working on next year.
The WW/P (workplace with personalities) product group was launched to accommodate a new working trend where everyone
tends to be more mobile these days. The WW/P offers both working space and personal corner for workers to fulfill their tasks in a
relaxed and cozy environment which should positively enhance work efficiency in the long run. Modernform started introducing the
product in the market and we expect the WW/P to be able to answer to new plug-and-play workplace demands amid evolving
communications and IT development especially with the upcoming Asean Economic Community (AEC) in 2015 that is likely to increase
demands for innovative commercial designs.
Finally, Modernform has collaborated with L&E, the highly-experienced LED manufacturer and exporter. Thanks to the expertise
of both of us, we were able to launch new products of LED pendant lights, LED desk lamps, LED floor lamps and LED task lighting for
office furniture where L&Eûs LED production technology was combined with Modernformûs design craftsmanship before being translated
into new products launched in the markets of both businesses since December 2013.
Production
Modernform expanded our production capacity to accommodate a bigger business where more manpower was hired and more
efficient tools and machines were introduced. Besides, production and storage areas were increased to accommodate busier activities.
Our production in 2013 was the highest record since our inception especially towards the year-end when several project clients
wanted to deliver their projects to clients as the end of year approached.
As for our production efficiency, Modernform was able to manage our production on the basis of çvalue engineeringé concept
which enabled us to maximize productivity while maintaining product values as required by customers. Our Product Development Team
collaborated with client projects to study the needs of homeowners in order to craft products that meet their desire. Thanks to the
006
concept, we were able to manage our production costs competitively. More importantly, we were capable to maintain our product quality
which continued to win our customerûs heart.
In 2014, Modernform expects to expand our production even further to accommodate our huge commitments. The business has
still a lot of room to grow. The expansion will be based on a concept to develop quality products, enhance production efficiency and
manage production costs competitively to maximum customerûs satisfaction.
We will also step up our collaboration with customers in order to make the capacity of our Production Department more
comprehensive so that we can respond more effectively to diverse wishes.
Marketing, Sales and Distribution
The 2013 economy was slightly down from the previous year. The countryûs GDP continued to decline due largely to overseas
demands which had yet recovered and weakening domestic demands and household expenditures. Demands from the public sector
started to expand during Q3. Yet, in Q4, the countryûs eroding political stability due to ongoing and increasingly violent anti-government
protests finally made an impact to our economy.
As for the property market, high-rise condominium projects both in Bangkok and major provinces especially Chiangmai, Phuket,
Nakhon Ratchasima and Khon Kaen continued to expand. In Q4, major property developers still had a number of large projects in hands
which reflected ample supply in the market, a trend to continue well into 2014.
There remained purchasing demands from middle and high-ended customers in the domestic furniture market thanks largely to
expansions in the housing markets and new office opening by foreign investors in Thailand in preparation for the upcoming AEC in 2015.
As a result, the office furniture market continued to grow quite strongly.
In early 2013, to underline our leadership in furniture and professional service, Modernform launched the çModernform SoulMateé
TV and print commercials and opened doors of our new çM Style Centeré for a team of our designers to offer advice on decoration and
furniture selection. In addition, we unveiled the Leather Sofa Gallery that provides a sofa customization service to customers who may
order a new sofa with their identity printed or embroidered on fabric or beamed with laser on metal plates. The Gallery which offers
ultimately world-class real leather sofa shopping experience showcases Modernformûs production expertise, attention in quality and desire
to respond to customerûs needs. Not long after, we launched the new easy-to-install Speedy kitchen designed under the Ready Set
Cook concept for heavy kitchen use.
The Exclusive Living furniture unveiled in late 2012 finally led to the introduction of Workplace with personality (WW/P),
Modernformûs latest office furniture collection exclusively designed to respond to todayûs mobile work style and the work-life balance
through the offering of diverse pieces that answer to each individualûs unique desire. The WW/P not only adds fresher and bolder
residential-styled outlook to ordinary working space but also perfectly answers to the çanywhere anytimeé work concept with
technologically-enhanced workstation that responds to mobile employees and New Working Solutions that accommodate communications
reflected through, for example, the combination of teleconference technology into meeting room furniture, to truly reflect professionalism.
In addition, Modernform has added new items to its medical furniture portfolio to respond to the booming healthcare and hospital
business through collaboration with Trumpf, the world-class manufacturer of operating equipment; and Linet, the hospital ward and ICU
bed maker for EU markets. We believe that these new products would help filling the existing gap in the Thai healthcare market.
As for marketing communications and corporate image, Modernform intensified its collaboration with Lighting & Equipment Public
Company Limited (L&E), the leader in L&E brand lighting equipment, by launching the çModernform L&Eé collection of lamps and
lighting for office and residence. The collection not only offers a perfect blend of functionality and design easily adaptable to customerûs
needs but also reflects an outcome of a healthy relationship between Modernform and our supplier.
Modernform continued to focus at digital and social network media such as Facebook and YouTube where information, interior
decoration ideas and news of events and activities were constantly updated to promote the Modernform brand awareness to a wider
audience.
007
We successfully launched the online çmomenté magazine to feature our experience and expertise as the leader in the furniture
market through its articles. Columns in the magazine were strongly positioned to present decoration ideas and lifestyles. Readers can
now download the magazine electronically as a PDF file from Modernformûs website and Facebook as this allows us to reach more
readers. Thatûs a reason why the magazine keeps being downloaded.
For sales promotion, aside from the one-time only Annual Sale event regularly held by us and warmly received by customers
each year, in 2013, Modernform organized a few sales promotion events, one of which was the çBest Time Bed Timeé event where
bedrooms of our customers were featured to showcase their different lifestyles. At the same event, Modernform presented bedrooms that
can perfectly work as a perfect storage and bedrooms that exuded strong identity of owners through customized headboards and closet
doors. As the year-end approached, we organized çThe Sparkling Moment, Sparkling Seasoné event where customers had a good time
pulling a sparkling star from a çtreeé to win a gift from us.
We continued to busily cement our relationship with customers through our çModernform Be My Guesté member card which not
only offers a package of Modernform privileges to our customers but also provides other discounts and promotions from partner
businesses whose names were updated to customers each month through our e-newsletter and website. For Modernformûs project
customers, we offered post-sales furniture checking service to promote new experience that could then be spread by word of mouth to
strengthen confidence in our brand which in retrospect helped reinforcing a relationship between us and our customers.
Project customers or developers remained our principal distribution channel through which 80 per cent of our products were sold.
The remaining 20 per cent was distributed through retailing with a main focus at showrooms whose overall display was constantly
refreshed especially at Srinakarin Showroom where presentation styles and space were accentuated. In November, Modernform opened
our latest showroom on Ratchadapisek Road known as çM Space working & livingé to target urbanites living in small high-rise buildings.
Furniture featured at the showroom is designed under the urban living lifestyle concept that emphasizes effective use of small space.
In conclusion, the furniture market stood to benefit from the strong growth of the property market in 2013. It is expected that the
office and home furniture markets will continue to grow in 2014 with concentration in provincial areas and those along the border
adjacent to our neighbors to accommodate increasing trade and investment activities under the upcoming AEC.
Service
In 2013, Modernform managed to provide delivery, installation and project hand-over services throughout the year as anticipated by
our customers especially at the year-end when several projects wanted to wrap up and deliver units to their clients. Yet, several other
projects were delayed and had to postpone installation which inevitably topped up our workload in the following year. Besides, there were
projects whose furniture had already been produced and we were forced to manage our storage to temporarily hold their merchandises.
The expansion of the property market in major provinces at all regions also required us to distribute our manpower to different
locations which caused some hiccups in service management. Thatûs why we came up with a plan to restructure the Service Department
to manage this expansion.
In 2014, with a lot of projects to be fulfilled, we plan to reinforce teamwork and enhance service. So far, we have established a
technical training center to increase the expertise of our craftsmen to help them respond better to business needs and to maximize
customerûs satisfaction.
International Business
2013 was a successful year for Modernformûs International business following our expansion into target markets in the AEC
countries at the beginning of the year. Modernform managed to appoint a sales distributor who owns the largest and most sophisticated
retail outlet in Laos PDR during the first half of the years. As a result, home furniture was able to be retailed there for the first time in
Q3 and office furniture closely followed in Q4 at Modernformûs own showroom in Vientiane. Besides, we are about to appoint a
008
distributor in Myanmar and plans to open a showroom at its capital, Naypyidaw, soon. This is in line with Modernformûs policy to extend
our distributorship into the AEC countries including Cambodia and Vietnam. The next step is to help our distributors in the AEC
countries ready to handle the Own Design Manufacturing (ODM) products where furniture is made-to-order according to customerûs
exclusive design as sales of this ODM have so far increased two-fold. In short, there is ample room for export markets to expand
although they are facing economic instability and domestic problems.
As for import, not only Modernform looked for suppliers who produced quality products with reasonable price and on-time
delivery, we also connected our project customers with a right supplier to produce furniture exclusively designed by project owners to
help reducing costs in certain budget projects. Simultaneously, Modernform was looking for partnership from a supplier who can produce
exclusively-designed merchandises with whom we may open a factory overseas.
Imports and sales of furniture and decoration accessories under the Home Decorative Product Department
The political volatility in late 2013 indeed slowed down the Q4 economy which prompted us to expand our business into the
provinces. Besides, as major border provinces experienced a very strong growth, we actively organized sales promotion activities to
expand market bases into neighboring countries such as Laos PDR and Myanmar.
We added more products and innovations into every group of merchandises. For furniture accessories, we introduced several
new sophisticated models of door handles. For architectural products, we imported magnetic door locks while we offered increasing
choices of patterns for Interface carpet products ideal for residential use. As for VeronaStone and FeelFloor products, new styles and
textures were introduced to the stone and hardwood floor covering products, respectively.
In addition, new floor covering options were added onto our product portfolio for customers to choose from as we had imported
laminate hardwood floor and luxury vinyl tiles from Switzerland.
In terms of service, we set up production and installation services of LG Hi-macs at major provinces to cover regional services.
For example, a service center was established in Phuket to cover our service in the South, Mahasarakham to cover service in the
Northeast, and Chiangmai to cover the service in the North. New production and installation machines were added for faster and more
professional service to cope with demand expansions.
New innovative products were constantly displayed at our three showrooms at Crystal Design Center (CDC), Sukhumvit and
Phuket Premium Outlet especially at the CDC which is positioned as the showroom of innovation. Activities were organized all year long
to provide knowledge to university students in interior decoration and architecture fields.
In 2014, Modernform will continue scouring for new quality innovative products. We expect to offer innovative doors to our
customers, add new distribution and service channels which cover domestic and neighboring markets to accommodate the opening up
of border under the AEC in 2015 and enhance HR capacity to facilitate customerûs product selection.
IT Development
In 2013, Modernform repatriated its OS platform from the old Modernform Operation System to the new MOS 2.0 so that the new
OS can work cohesively with various systems while keeping the operation leaner. Details are as follows.
ë Production Planning System - the production planning system was revamped to meet increasing sales records.
ë Shop Floor Control System - the production system was enhanced to collaborate with the entire operation to save time and
printed paper.
ë Point of Sale (POS) - a new POS program was developed for use on iPad/Tablet computers to respond to new evolving sales
technology and for easier access.
ë Project Management System - the system was constantly updated for use with several more work units and for accurate review
of each projectûs costs.
ë Costing system - the system was enhanced for speedier production cost calculation.
009
Aside from the MOS enhancement, Modernform also went through the development of the following:
ë Application server, database server and report server were replaced to accommodate business expansion.
ë The Oracle database version was updated to handle new database and technology.
ë The disaster recovery plan was formulated for anticipated disaster or damage striking our head office computer systems.
ë The videoconference system was installed to facilitate communications and save traveling times and costs between the head
office and the Production Department.
In 2014, we plan to continue enhancing our IT systems as follows:
ë Developing our Smart Process to reduce costs and make our work processes leaner
ë Introducing new internal IP Phone to reduce communication costs
ë Studying Business Intelligence Report with a purpose to apply Business Intelligence Software in our operation to enhance
reporting efficiency
ë Developing new applications on iPad/tablet computers for internal use
ë Testing our Disaster Recovery Plan as part of a preparation for damage that could strike our HQ computer systems
ë Continuing to manage the IT risk to accommodate new technology platform that meets international standards.
HR Management and Development
Realizing the importance of HR as a major driving force for our sustainability, Modernform came up with a HR management and
development strategy which corresponded to our business strategy and the 2013 corporate theme of çThink Different, Do Different.é
Through our focus of HR capacity enhancement, we recruited quality personnel, planned precise manpower, implemented fair and clear
evaluation tools and carried out fair and performance-based remuneration management. The idea was to retain the best people and
improve living quality of employees to nurture creativity in the company.
Modernform organized training courses for employees of all levels to stimulate their creativity. Some of the courses are Think
different; Do different; Creating marketing strategies; and Mind mapping. Meanwhile, staffûs opinions were warmly welcomed to reflect the
corporate theme of çThink Different, Do Different.é
Other trainings included leadership and management courses which focused at teamwork among different generations and
coursework specially designed for leaders such as Grid Works, Conflict Management, Project Management and Effective Coaching-Gen
to Gen.
To enhance our sales teams, Modernform actively stimulated their sales energy and reinforced their sales attitudes through
training on NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) for Success believed to unleash their sales potential. Salespersons were also given
English communication training for better competition under the AEC.
As for craftsmanship skill enhancement which is very important for Modernform as this makes customers deeply impressed with
us and keeps coming back to us, this year, we managed to upgrade skills of standard technicians to a level of craftsmanship
technicians. Besides, their communication skills were also sharpened to maximize customerûs satisfaction.
Modernform also provided alternative welfare that employees can choose from to suit their needs. In addition, we offered more
creative workplace environment, added additional public area for rest and relaxation and set up a Work@Home program which allowed
staff of some departments to work from home to eliminate commuting but increase performance efficiency. We also supported
recreational club activities that enabled employees to work together while creating a sense of corporate ownership among them,
developing their leadership skills, reinforcing their relationships and building their social awareness that could turn the company into a
better corporation.

019
The company has set up risk management measures, scopes and practices for executives and staff to comply with to minimize
potential business risks. In 2013, the company evaluated possible risks that could occur and may affect our operations as follows.
Risk from Economic Instability
The Company expects the Thai economy to continue growing in 2014 thanks largely to the recovery of the world economy which
will help boosting exports of goods and services. In addition, employment rates remain healthy while the local money market is quite
relaxed due to low interest rates which should increase consumption and private sector investments. At the other front, the public
sectorûs spending in mega infrastructure projects is likely to increase which should slow down the fall of domestic spending by a certain
degree. This however is subject to how long the current political instability will last.
Regarding the income structure, the parent company and subsidiaries are currently generating incomes from a variety of
businesses ranging from office furniture to home and kitchen furniture, furniture accessories, carpet, stone and wooden flooring, rental of
office space, healthcare products and medical appliances as well as architectural and landscape architectural design. Together with
incomes from subsidiaries, we are able to minimize some business cyclical risks as each industry has its own different business cycle. In
addition, we plan to invest or co-invest in other business to reduce over-dependency in our main business.
Competition risk
At present, various businesses that we run witness fierce competitions both in terms of pricing and increasing manufacturers,
distributors or new players. Yet, we are able to develop sophisticated products, select and import unique items that answer to the
desires of our customers, deliver quality services and continued to improve our sales, production and service processes. The result is we
continue to lead in each market we are in and this reduces competition risk that may affect our profitability.
Investment risk in subsidiaries and affiliates
Since we have a policy to invest in our subsidiaries and affiliates, therefore, there is an investment risk involved since itûs
possible that these subsidiaries and affiliates may not generate as much profits as we expect. Modernform minimizes this risk by
appointing its directors to sit as directors of the subsidiaries and affiliates to oversee the shareholdersû interests. So far, Modernform has
enjoyed a good investment return from both its subsidiary and affiliated companies.
Financial risk
Modernform Plc is cautious and thorough when it comes to managing its expenditure budget. The Company continues to
maintain the debt to equity ratio at a low level and keep liquidity ample to accommodate economic volatility and to also foster its own
growth. However, in 2013, the Company reduced its registered and paid-up capital through the Share Repurchase Plan which involved
leftover shares not yet sold thanks largely to its high liquidity and enough cash flow.
Modernformûs financial risk can be categorized into two types as follows.
- Foreign exchange risk
Modernform is exposed to a foreign exchange risk since we have debtors and creditors in foreign currencies, which we minimize
by buying a short-term forward contract of no more than one year. However, to do so, Modernform takes into consideration both the
prevailing situation and opportunities in order to achieve maximum risk benefit from the foreign exchange risk.
Risk Factors
020
- Credit Risks related to credit sales
Modernform is very prudent when extending credit to customers to minimize bad debts where credit sales will be made only
when appropriate. We have no policy to extend credit to small-time customers who are in fact required to pay the entire sum before we
deliver our product. For a project client, we allow payments to be made in two installments where we request that the first payment be
made before Modernform starts producing the product. This has greatly reduced our risk. In addition, to extend a credit to a new
customer, we analyze the clientûs financial standing from its financial statements. For existing customers, the Company has closely
coordinated and monitored the situation to reduce collection risk and to shorten collection period.
Risks on Raw Materials
The Company set a policy on consumption of high proportion of local high-quality raw materials. Their prices are moving along
with the markets. Although the material prices increase sharply, there are a number of manufacturing plants. Therefore, the Company
mitigates risks by comparing prices from several suppliers before ordering. In addition, with high volume of raw materials used, the
Company wields bargaining power in negotiation with the manufacturing plants for the best conditions. It always monitors price
movement.
The fittings and supplies used in furniture production, such as finishing foil, hinges, drawer tracks, locks and other hardware
items are mostly imported. Prices may fluctuate in response to foreign manufacturers or currency exchange rates, however, in recent
periods such problems have not arisen as the Company imports its own fittings and supplies. As such, large order volumes placed
enabled the Company to have high bargaining power and gain discounts from the foreign producers. Furthermore, the Company is aware
of price changes several months in advance, allowing it sufficient time to adjust costs and prices accordingly.
IT risk
Modernform has adopted the Disaster Recovery Plan for use in case of emergency that could prevent our main system from mal
functioning. This back-up system can replace the main one for a short period of time and effectively prevent damage to the business.
The system covers all offices and main production units of Modernform. Besides, a data center room has been developed in which an
automatic fire-fighting device was installed and a new electricity cable system was upgraded to provide internationally-recognized safety
standard. In 2013, the Company replaced the entire server to increase operation efficiency and to accommodate business growth.
Modernform has also updated our IT policy so that the contents cover safety and security issues of the IT system and that
employees may comply with the conditions to reduce the IT System risk while the updated policy corresponds with relevant IT system
laws and regulations.
Natural Disaster Risk
Modernform has secured insurance for its main assets to protect itself from natural disaster risk. We also realize that itûs
important to develop a business continuity plan in case a natural disaster disrupts our normal business operation. This is especially in
the case where business units proven crucial to our continued operation such as production, finance, IT and building and infrastructure
could be heavily affected and thatûs why they have been requested to prepare an emergency plan for use when necessary to reduce
Modernformûs business risk.

Corporate Governance
Our governance policies
The Companyûs Board of Directors realize the importance of good corporate governance and believe that good corporate
governance is a foundation upon which a good management and efficient operation system can be built to reflect transparency and
reliability, subject to good and reliable ethical framework, with ability to improve value and competitiveness, leading to long term
sustainable growth and eventually trust and confidence from shareholders, investors, and other stakeholders. As a result the Companyûs
Board of Directors has adopted the principles of good corporate governance in writing and with consistent review. At present the
company is using the Corporate Governance Book III which was revised and updated in 2008 according to the Security Exchange law (no.
IV) B.E 2551 and distributed these printed policies to all staff to ensure that they have a written guideline handy for their daily operations.
We also had them posted on our website www.modernform.com for easy access. We instill the concept and awareness of our stand on
good corporate governance to each and everyone of our staff with constant internal audits as a follow-up action. The audit team
conducts field audits within 5 aspects of our good corporate governance and periodically reports the findings to the audit committee and
the board of directors. In addition, we have been regularly auditing to comply with all SET requirements as a publicly listed company.
The Companyûs Board of Directors evaluated its performance according to the good governance practices in 2013, at 94%
covering the following five (5) main principle.
1. Rights of Shareholders
2. Equal Treatment of Shareholders
3. Roles of Stakeholders
4. Disclosure of Information and Transparency
5. Boardûs Responsibilities
1. Rights of Shareholders
The Company has the policy and guidelines of good governance providing equal treatment to the shareholders. The
Company provides its shareholders with fundamental rights determined by laws. In addition, the Company provides the disclosure
of up-to-date important information, newsletters, access of the shareholders into the Companyûs information and the
shareholdersû eligibility for attendance of shareholdersû meetings. Some examples are as the followings. The record date is
scheduled on a date that is no more than two (2) months prior to a shareholdersû meeting. A shareholder is allowed to propose
a meeting agenda according to the Companyûs principles and guidelines. A shareholder is eligible to submit any questions to the
Board of Directors through the Companyûs website prior to the meeting date. An invitation letter is distributed to the shareholders
at least 28 days prior to the meeting in order to provide an opportunity for them to study the meeting attachment before the
meeting date. The shareholdersû meeting date, time and place are determined with consideration to the shareholdersû
convenience. In the meeting, the shareholders are allowed to provide comments independently and jointly decide on the
Companyûs important agenda.
In 2013, the company allowed shareholders to propose meeting agendas based on the criteria and guidelines set by the
company. Shareholders were invited to submit questions and opinions to the Board via our website since November 22, 2013
which were subsequently gathered by our company secretary before they were submitted to the Board of Directors in order to
completely answer shareholdersû questions on the meeting date. We also posted an invitation to attend the shareholdersû meeting
including other supporting information 32 days in advance on our website before the shareholderûs meeting date scheduled on
March 8, 2013 before sending the documents to shareholders to allow them enough time to study the information before making
a decision prior to the meeting date.
038
The Company organized an Ordinary Shareholdersû Meeting at the Companyûs main Conference Room on April 9th,
2013 10:00 am. Thailand Securities Depository Company Limited, the Companyûs securities registrar, delivered the invitation letter
with all necessary agenda documents on April 18th, 2013, 22 days prior to the meeting date. The necessary agenda documents
comprised of a copy of the minute of the previous meeting, an annual report, financial statements, a report of the auditors, a
report on the Companyûs performance on the previous year, a dividend payment policy with 5 year comparison, brief profiles of
the directors and independent directors nominated, information on compensation to the directors, information on the Companyûs
auditors and compensation, the Articles of Association regarding the shareholdersû meeting, Proxy Form - Form A and B that
assign an independent director to be a proxy for a shareholders in a case that the shareholder is not able to attend a meeting.
Each agenda consisted of the Board of Directorsû comments, facts and reasons for consideration. The shareholders are able to
make registration one (1) hour prior to the meeting. A total of 10 members of the Board of Directors attended the meeting. They
included the Chairman of the Audit Committee, members of the Audit Committee, Vice President - Finance, the Companyûs
auditors, and the Companyûs Internal Audit Manager who performed the inspectorûs task on the voting for transparency and
compliance with laws and the Companyûs Articles of Association. The meeting proceeded in accordance with the agenda order
without any addition of other agenda. The ballot was performed with the shareholders casting their vote on each agenda in a
respective order. The Chairman of the Board of Directors, who acted as the Chairman for the meeting, informed the shareholders
the procedures of casting a vote and ballot collection prior to the voting. Simultaneously, the Chairman declared the number of
the shareholders present in the meeting and the shareholders ineligible for voting as they might have a stake in an agenda. The
shareholders were allowed to have equal rights to examine, review and comment the Companyûs performance, and send
questions and suggestions. The relevant committees answered the questions and comments as noted in the minutes of meeting
accurately and completely. The minutes of meeting was complete within 14 days from the meeting date. The shareholders were
able to have the minutes on the Companyûs website for viewing and reference on April 24th, 2013.
2. Equal treatments of shareholders
The Company establishes the policy and guidelines on the good governance for its shareholders with fair treatment. In
matters other than that of the right of attending the general meeting, the right to vote, access to companyûs information; financial
statement, the business results, proposing additional meeting agenda, the right to nominate independent director as proxy and
director nomination, we have specified other shareholderûs treatment guidelines to ensure fairness and equality amongst all of our
shareholders. Avoiding conflicts of interests is one practice that we pay particularly close attention to. We set steps and
processes to take care of businesses or transactions that may possibly have conflicts of interest present such as transactions
between our companies or related companies with major shareholders or executives. In order to equally protect our customersû
benefits, we always treat transactions between related companies and associates at armûs length basis. We ensure transparency
between receivables or financing transactions between our own group companies and strictly adhere to guidelines set out by the
SET and GAAP. Therefore, these details on related company transactions may be found in the notes to financial statement.
Furthermore, the company has a specific policy on preventing executives and staff from abusive self-dealing by
prohibiting disclosure of information to the public and has established a black-out period preventing executive and staff dealing
with company shares 1 month before the release of the companyûs financial statement. Director and executives must also report
changes in ownership of company stocks to the stock exchange committee in compliance of rule 59 on Security Trading
Commission Act 2535 A.D. In addition, directors, executives and related parties reporting rules and procedures of interests of
directors, executives and connected persons in August 2009 were required to report to the company their interests and those of
related persons. During the past year, directors and executives strictly.

annually. The Audit Committee was also assigned to review and maintain the quality of our financial statements before they were
submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. A report of the Boardûs accountability towards its financial statements was
already published in the annual report.
041
5. Responsibility of the Board of Directors
The Company is aware of duty and responsibility of the Board of Directors who plays an important role in supervision of
the corporate performance for the Companyûs optimal benefits. Therefore, the policy and guidelines on the good governance
were established to build up confidence that the Board performs its duty and responsibility with carefulness and integrity,
according to the laws, corporate objectives, the Companyûs Articles of Association and resolutions of shareholdersû meeting.
At present, the Board of Directors consists of 11 members, which is suitable for the size and operation of the Companyûs
business. Of this, four are independent directors based on the Stock Exchange of Thailandûs definition (SET). Of the four
independent directors, three are members of the Audit Committee. Five are executive directors and two are non-independent,
non-executive directors. Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President are not the same person for the check-
and-balance purpose. Meanwhile, roles and responsibilities of the Board, Chairman of the Board, the Executive Board, Chairman
of the Executive Board and President are clearly defined. They have been selected through a nomination and appointment
process as stated under the topic of Nomination of Directors. The Board of Directors has qualifications as determined by the
laws and the Company. Its members have visions, knowledge, skills and experiences in a variety of businesses and in the
Companyûs main business. They are not directors or executives in businesses which could pose a conflict of interest to the
Company and they are directors in no more than five listed companies. In addition, they take part in formulating the Companyûs
direction, policy, goals, action plans and budget under the utmost in good corporate governance which has been set out by our
company to accomplish and propose plans that will maximize overall value for our shareholders and all other stakeholders. To
ensure highest standards of governance, the company has initiated an internal control, internal audit, risk management, company
secretary and appointed sub-committees for audits and appropriate risk management functions according to events and
occasions that deem necessary. The sub-committees act as a filtering agent to enhance the effectiveness of our control and to
ensure that the design of roles, powers and responsibilities in executive and management positions are separate from that of
auditing roles. These key controls and business figures will be frequently assessed every quarter and will be reported in the
board meeting, after the external auditor reviews our financial statements and such information has passed through the audit
committee. The details of the board meeting and auditorûs opinions for 2012, are available in this annual report under the
management section. The company also set out guidelines for directors to conduct annual self-evaluations in compliance with
Securities Exchanges Commission guidelines.
For directorsû and managementûs remuneration, the company has developed a policy to ensure that our compensation is
in line with the industry, and to appropriately compensate them for their skills and knowledge. The board of directors has the
responsibility to set out basic compensation for the directors and such remuneration schemes were proposed in the general
shareholderûs meeting. As of executive directorsû and managementûs remuneration, they will be considered from each executive
memberûs performance and the overall company operating results. Full details for directorsû compensation and remuneration may
be found in the management section.
Furthermore, the board of directors has orchestrated good corporate governance and assigned the Audit Committee the
responsibility to ensure an efficient and complete internal control covering its finance, operations, laws compliance, risk
management and etc. to protect best interests of investors against fraud or other material breaches of control. The internal
control department is assigned the responsibility of auditing and reviewing the efficiency of all operational systems ensuring
absence of fraud and material misconduct. There have been regular evaluations under the 5 principles of internal control every
year. For 2013, the board of directors and audit committee have evaluated our internal control and found that we have sufficient
basis to believe that we have sufficient control necessary in place details are disclosed under the internal control section.
042
The Company has stipulated policies on corporate governance and Companyûs ethics to prevent Directors and executives or
related persons to use internal information for personal gain. Management and employees who have access to insider information are
forbidden from disclosing such information to outside parties, or other persons who have no relevant business which will effect to the
stock price of the Company, and not to use the insider information or abuse own power in buying or selling company stock. It is also
forbidden to trade the Companyûs securities 1 month before the Companyûs disclosure of its financial statements to the public. A penalty
clause has been clearly stipulated in the Companyûs ethics and good governance for those who violate the insider code. Beside, the
Directors, Executives, and Chief of Finance are required to disclose securities holdings on the Companyû annual report and report any
changes in securities holdings to the Security Exchange Commission and the Stock Exchange of Thailand in compliance with Section 59
of the Securities and Exchange Act of B.E. 2535.
In Addition, the Audit Committee is further obliged to hold its meeting the day following the Companyûs auditors auditing and
certififying of the annual financial statements, or reviewing of the quarterly statements. This is to present any opinions to the Board of
Directors within the same day as the Meeting of the Audit Committee, together with submission of the financial statements to the Stocks
Exchange of Thailand on the same date, or the following day at the latest.
Insider Information Controls
043
While we have applied our vision of çto be the leader in furniture and interior furnishing business and to provide superior working
and living environmenté in our corporate management, the same vision is also used to enhance living quality and wellbeing of our
clients, staff and all stakeholders as we realize that being responsible to our society also means our long-term sustainability.
Modernform has opened up various channels for stakeholders to express their opinions and submit recommendations.
Stakeholders may directly send their views to directors via email: [email protected], call center 0-2708-9999 or Client
Relations Department email : [email protected] is designated to collect information relating to quality of our goods and services,
installation and other complaints resulted from direct interactions with customers. Finally, we survey employeeûs satisfaction at all levels
of which the results are implemented to enhance our organization in different aspects.
This report of corporate social responsibility, which is limited to activities of Modernform Group Public Company Limited only, is
prepared on the basis of the CSR guidelines issued by the Stock Exchange of Thailand. Details can be broken down in eight areas as
follows.
Fair Business
Modernform has issued the Code of Conduct for Executives to govern their practices with stakeholders under the corporate
governance principles as well as the Code of Conduct for employees since 2002. Our employees have been informed and encouraged to
apply the Code of Conduct in a manner that complies with our business ethics for fair and efficient performance.
We have also released a written policy and practice of non-infringement of intellectual property rights or copyright covering both
our products and trademarks and those of the third party licensed to us. The non-infringement practice also extends to software and IT
system where a regulation on computer use was issued in 2008 to be in compliance with the Act on the Use of Computers, B.E 2550
(2007). In addition, Modernform has issued a policy and practice to protect our intellectual property and copyright from infringement,
inducing us to constantly register our design patents which in 2009 led Department of Intellectual Property, Commerce Ministry, to
bestow us the IP Champion Award.
Anti-Corruption
Modernform has an anti-corruption policy at corporate level. By this, we mean the Board of Directors allows stakeholders to
anonymously submit recommendations and expose illegal or alleged misconduct activity of executives or employees and fraudulent
financial statements or defected internal control system through our email: [email protected]. The Board will immediately
examine the issues and disclose result of its investigation if the case is proven material to the stakeholders. Internally, the Internal Audit
Department which reports to the Audit Committee regularly examines our operations under the internal control system and directly
reports its auditing to the Audit Committee as this enables internal auditors to perform their tasks and file reports independently and
honestly. Corruption or suspicion of corruption, legal violation or any other unusual act that could significantly jeopardize Modernformûs
reputation and financial position, if found, will be immediately reported to the Audit Committee for remedy within a reasonable timeframe.
The management is required to report remedy progress to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
At the employee level, Modernform has spelt out rules to prevent bribery and corruption in Chapter 5 of our Work Regulations
regarding disciplinary regulations and actions under Topic 4 re: çBehavioré and Topic 5 re: çIntegrity and Honesty.é The contents extend
to cover legal compliance, refusal to take money or any other benefits from stakeholders and refraining from exercising power and duty
for oneûs interest, all of which are governed by clear disciplinary actions.
Report on Corporate Social Responsibility
044
Respect for Human Rights
Modernformûs policy is to comply with the laws, rules and regulations and the universal principles of basic human rights. We do
not support businesses and suppliers engaging in human rights violation.
In practice, our recruitment policy strives to hire personnel on the basis of their knowledge, ability and experience while giving
them fair treatment and job security and supporting and encouraging qualified personnel to advance along their career path without
discrimination. We hire foreign workers and the disabled with whom we have applied the labor structure under the Thai labor laws to
provide the same welfare, vocational skills and other fringe benefits they are entitled to. In addition, representatives of foreign workers
also collaborate with the Human Resources Department to promote proper understanding, fair treatment and legal compliance. So far,
we have received no grievance on human rights violation.
Fair Treatment of Employees
For us, employee is a vital resource that will lead us to success. Thatûs why Modernformûs human resource management policy
covers issues such as fair treatment, wages and remunerations, welfare and benefits, health and safety protection, workplace
environment and capacity building for the wellbeing of our employees. Details of our practice are:
Wages and remunerations
Modernform regularly revamps our salary structure to meet with competitive environment and evolving wage situations. Research
is carried out with the third-party agency with the purpose to offer fair and competitive remunerations.
At the other front, we conduct a constructive performance evaluation twice a year. Evaluation criteria are directly communicated
with supervisors of all levels for their accurate understanding while evaluation results are used as a basis to award employees to reflect
fair and transparent treatment.
Welfare
The Welfare Committee has been set up to take part in recommending extra welfare that answers to employeeûs needs and that
enhances their living quality. Some of this welfare includes providing life insurance and lunch, selling discounted consumables to
employees to lessen their financial burden, organizing recreational and touring activities and showing featured films.
In addition, we allow sport lovers or those interested in similar activities to set up sports and recreational club to which
Modernform partially provides financial support as this will enable them to enjoy free time together which will foster their relationship,
happiness and better living. So far, we have clubs for badminton, cycling, golf, walking/running, exercising, music and photography.
Occupational Health, Safety and Environment
We have put in place the Occupational health, safety and environment (OHSE) policy and the OHSE Committee whose duties are to:
- examine and control level of noise within an acceptable standard
- provide hearing protection devices; train workers how to use them and ensure proper action
- provide hearing tests and protection for workers in risk
- measure airborne particle concentration and tighten control measures; strictly supervise workers to wear personal
protective equipment (PPE) while on duty
- form a joint team with unit supervisors within the Production Department to observe if safety operation meets the
standard or could pose danger or other health effects in order to provide protective devices or improve work
environment.
- train new staff on the issue of safety based on the OHSEûs plan
045
Responsibility for Consumers
Modernform commits to produce and provide quality goods and services at reasonable prices. We also strive to maintain our
standards; offer complete, accurate and non-distorted information about our goods and services and provide product and service
guarantee as well as product liability to our customers subject however to conditions. We also set up a channel to allow customers to
express dissatisfaction about our products and services and we will do our best to respond promptly to customers.
We have done the following in relation to our responsibility for consumers policy:
ë A product test lab that meets national testing standards has been built to test quality of both our products and imported items
on the basis of our criteria to ensure customer confidence
ë Technical data sheet giving approximate glass shelf weight is given to customers to inform them permissible load in order to
avoid danger.
ë Various models of furniture are designed for better living quality of our customers. They are
- Axis - designed with an idea of efficient use of space in mind, Axis occupies at least 10 per cent less space than that
normally demanded by traditional home furniture but responds even better to users thanks to its attractive style and
layout that answers to their true needs.
- House kitchen - this is a heavy duty kitchen which can be completely installed within half the time required by a normal
cement kitchen. The House Kitchen is lightweight and is less likely to make an annexed area where this type of kitchen
is usually installed subside while the furniture itself is resistant to tropical weather and flood.
- WW/P - The workplaces with personality (WW/P) is new office furniture designed to respond to todayûs plug-and-play
lifestyles strongly reflected through various smart devices that allow users to work out of the office as comfortably as in
their workplace.
- Transform living - Ultimate furnishing for urbanites to maximize living in small space as the furniture is able to virtually
offer a usable area of 50 square meters out of the actual tiny living space of 30 square meters. Customers can save
budget but are accessible to efficient, creative and fun furniture.
ë Modernform has already established the Client Relations Department to directly receive complaints from customers who can also
express their dissatisfactions through our website.
Environment Conservation
Realizing the importance of environment, Modernform strives to not involving in business that makes environmental impacts and
is ready to support activities that promote environmental and natural resource conservation.
The Company starts from a design stage where product is originated by maximizing the use of resources, focusing at resource
management and choosing environmental-friendly materials such as E1 engineered wood product that uses less formaldehyde as flooring
adhesive. It also reduces the use of raw materials with adverse environmental impact such as replacing genuine hardwood with
engineered wood products. Other activities include reducing production processes to save energy, managing material waste
systematically to minimize trash, reducing storage space and using less energy by introducing logistics to manage furniture delivery trips.
Here are some of the examples the Company has pursued.
Resource management
- The Value Engineering (VE) project was initiated to study the value of a product in order to maximize the use of resource
in the entire system while maintaining its fundamental value. This resulted in maximum use of resources, reduction of
waste incurred from design and reduction of energy used in various activities which allowed Modernform to effectively use
046
resources in a more environmentally-friendly manner. For example, a structural design of furniture was readjusted to
reduce redundant parts while maintaining the furnitureûs strength and utility as in the case of bed designed for the Casa
Ville Project; side board cabinet and dining table designed for the Rhythm Rachada Project and the Mezzo and Neat
kitchen cabinets. The result was that furniture delivery trips were down by 15 per cent while storage space fell by 30 per
cent. The reduction of fittings also led to fewer assembly steps which allowed technicians to install the furniture faster. In
certain products such as Forum K and NW, TW models of back rest frame, less energy was used in the installation.
- The structure of the Audiometric hearing test booth and its assembly was readjusted to reduce its weight by 100
kilograms. This enabled parts of the booth to be stacked on top of each other and therefore resulted in less delivery
volume per trip. With fewer trips to make, lesser fuel was used to transport furniture.
- Thinner-based paint was replaced with water-based paint to improve air quality and employeeûs health.
ISO 50001 energy management
This is an attempt to set up systematic criteria for energy management. All employees had a role in energy use within the
organization. They were expected to find measures to improve energy-efficiency behavior; for example, introducing energy-saving light
bulbs, setting operation times of large machines and reducing air pressure in the production line. Activities were organized to create
sustainable energy saving awareness within the company i.e. employees were encouraged to turn lighting and air conditioners off when
not in use; a contest for energy-saving measures implemented by different departments was organized and employees were encouraged
to offer energy advice through the çKaisené activity.
Waste management and recycling
- Paint residue from the production process was eliminated according to the pollution reduction criteria where General
Environmental Conservation Plc was designated to oversee the matter.
- Waste from production such as particle board and fabric was transformed into tables, chairs and cushions before being
donated to school libraries in Bangkok and the provinces.
Supporting environmental projects organized by the third party
- Modernform together with Kasetsart University organized the çEco Libraryé project to solicit materials for making
bookshelves to promote the learning of students at all levels.
- The çUse Me Againé project from pantip.com
- Modernform joined hands with the Environmental Conservation Foundation to organize the garbage collecting project at
Bangsaen Beach.
- Modernform joined the Car Free Day organized by Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to reduce energy use by
cars.
Community and Social Development
The Company continues to support community and social development activities while promoting social awareness among
employees as we know that business, society and community are closely connected and one has to support another for everyone to
remain sustainable.
Modernform has continued to pursue the following projects:
- 30 scholarships were given to needy undergraduates studying in fields related to the Companyûs business
- The M Design Awards contest was organized to allow design students nationwide to expand their design horizons to respond to
industrial needs.
047
- The Company actively supports the study of design and related techniques by recruiting design students nationwide as trainees.
This allows them to enjoy real experiences and helps them prepared before graduation. We also provide training related to design
and innovation knowledge to education institutes nationwide.
- The çSharing Dream, Sharing Loveé project through which Modernform donated books and learning materials to libraries and
kindergarten classes of 28 schools in Bangkok and provinces.
- The çModernform From Heart to Hearté project through which Modernform collaborated with the Education Fund Project of the
Office of Secretariat of Privy Council to provide learning materials for classroom and library and to exhibit information relating to
the Agricultural Museum to honor HM the King for Ban Nong Yai School, Sanam Chai Khet District, Chachoengsao Province.
- We value social awareness among employees by encouraging them to repair desks and dining tables and to renovate
playgrounds for neighboring schools; the Company also donated school materials to Klong Ladkrabang School, Samut Prakan
Province.
Innovation and Promotion of Innovation through CSR
Thanks to Modernformûs mission to develop innovation that will enhance quality of workplace and home living, we are driven to
create innovation that makes our products and services better. The Company actively conducts researches to pick innovative products
that subsequently become our new businesses while simultaneously improving existing innovative lines to respond to changing lifestyles
and environment.
Development of new product lines
- Ideacoustic - an innovation that combines noise-absorbing technology with design to create a new product that can cut
down surrounding noise for a better living.
- ReadyDor - innovative ready-made door designed to go with any indoor furniture where a variety of covering materials
can be easily applied to a door pane regardless of height and width, adding with application of hardware.
- Feelfloor - an innovative floor covering made of engineered wood product that perfectly gives a natural touch of genuine
hardwood while remains elegant, strong and durable.
Continued development of existing lines
- The Axis office furniture and the Transform Living home furniture have been designed to increase usable area and
respond to todayûs smaller living space.
- The WW/P has been designed with collaboration in mind so the furniture can truly work with todayûs IT smart items to
respond to mobile workers who want to work anywhere any time.
- The Home Kitchen series highlights light-weight materials to avoid land subsidization in area where kitchen is installed; is
resistant to all weather conditions, flood, termite and moles and can be installed in no time.
- Currently a must-have for all hospitals and hearing test agencies, the Audiometric booth for hearing test has been
developed from Modernformûs Ideacoustic which allows the clients to depend less on imports.

The Board of Directors entrusted the Audit Committee to guide the management in the setting up of an effective internal control system which has been regularly enhanced to ensure a sound and adequate internal control as a means to protect our investments and assets. The system covers five internal control components as advised by the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), having our Internal Control Department auditing and reviewing various operation systems to ensure that they are equipped with effective internal control mechanisms and that each system be regularly assessed on the basis of the internal control criteria each year. In 2013, the Board of Directors expressed opinions regarding the adequacy and soundness of the Companyûs internal control system at its Meeting No. 1/2557 dated February 25, 2014 that Modernform and its subsidiaries did possess adequately efficient internal control systems at 92% considered appropriate to their business nature; and that the system had no major defect that may materially affect their reliability. This can be further elaborated on the basis of the five internal control components containing 17 principles as follows. 1. Control the Environment
1.1 Demonstrate commitment to integrity and ethical values Modernform Public Company Limited has formulated a written policy, rules and regulations concerning integrity
and corporate governance in a form of business Code of Conduct consisting mainly of the Code of Conduct to be abided by the management and that of employees. The fundamental underlying this is that we will perform our duty with integrity, transparency and fairness. We will never request, receive or transfer unscrupulous business profits with suppliers, debtors or creditors. We will do nothing to create a conflict of interest to the Company. The Code of Conduct has been communicated to all executives and employees for their adherence. Besides, integrity and the Code of Conduct have become part of our Core Values and are one of the employeeûs annual performance evaluation tools. Furthermore, a disciplinary action has been clearly provided in case of violation.
1.2 Exercise oversight responsibility The Board of Directors, being independent in its management, has overseen the Company to set up clear and
measurable business goals as a guideline for executives and employees to achieve. A clear annual strategic plan and goals have been formulated after taking into consideration desires and expectations of all stakeholders in the strategic planning. Meanwhile, only reasonable and achievable goals and action plans are made.
1.3 Establish structure, authority and responsibility Modernform Public Company Limited has defined our organization structure on the basis of management
procedures where business units and support units are separated to allow efficient, precise, flexible and clear operation. Meanwhile, the management structure can be quickly revised as soon as business environment evolves to ensure corporate efficiency. Roles and responsibilities are divided with authority being neutralized to allow appropriate check and balance which is the fundamental for a good internal control of the Company and to prevent potential fraudulence while the internal Audit Department regularly performs auditing functions.
1.4 Demonstrate commitment to competency Modernform Public Company Limited has set up the HR Committee to formulate a policy, development plans and
means to retain qualified employees and executives with us where remunerations are reasonably offered on the basis of roles and responsibilities. We conduct an annual staffûs satisfaction survey of which the results are implemented to improve salary structures, fringe benefits and welfares, HR capacity-building as well as workplace environment to promote a better work atmosphere, all of which are executed under the HR Department.
In addition, Modernform Public Company Limited has also written up its succession plan where top managers of each department are requested to identify critical functions in their departments in order to plan succession. A potential successor will be identified and the Individual Development Plan (IDP) will be drafted so that employees learn their potential career path leading to executive positions. This will be linked with the performance evaluation system and the remuneration system so that Modernform can effectively retain quality managers and employees with us.
Internal Control
049
1.5 Enforce accountability The Board of Directors and the management have already put in place a mechanism to ensure that employees
are clearly responsible for their duty and performances. This starts with recruiting personnel that meets job requirements, creating job profile and job value of each position, putting the right man on the right job, evaluating performance constructively twice a year, building employeeûs capacity through internal and external trainings to enhance their skills and capability and offering attractive remunerations that match performances.
2. Risk assessment
2.1 Specify suitable objectives Modernform Public Company Limited has designed our risk management process that is in sync with our business
objectives. The Board of Directors has appointed the Risk Management Sub-committee since 2004 with clear roles and responsibilities to systematically manage our risk. The Committeeûs tasks include overseeing critical operation systems deemed vital to the Company, issuing measures to control and manage corporate-level and activity-level risks, raising risk management awareness among personnel at all departments and making sure that they adhere to it; and letting everyone take care of the Company through the risk management process that they share the same and accurate understanding. All of this is to ensure that the risk management will allow Modernform to achieve our business objectives and goals.
2.2 Identify and analyze risk Modernform Public Company Limited has reviewed and analyzed internal and external risk factors of all
departments that could materially affect our operation, an action which results in appropriate risk management, supervision and control. Operation measures have also been issued to reduce such risk and at the same time are regularly reviewed to respond to changing circumstances. More details can be read under the topic of risk factors.
2.3 Assess fraud risk Our Internal Audit Department has conducted a fraud risk assessment to evaluate Modernformûs risk exposure to
fraud which extends to every operation system that has significant implication. In addition, a preventive internal control mechanism has been introduced to get rid of fraudulent opportunity where the internal control is calibrated to suit prevailing risks. At the same time, a control self assessment has actively been promoted to all departments. Modernform also has a clear policy and practice that could be activated in case of fraud or any incident that could lead to a systematic fraud.
3. Control activities
3.1 We have a set of written policies and practices regarding financial transactions, procurement, sales and general administration with financial ceiling being set to keep approval authority of personnel at each department level in control. Financial approval duties are clearly separated from duties to book records and key data in the information systems to correspond to the best internal control practice and to increase flexibility while these are constantly subject to regular review so that they remain in line with Modernformûs management structure.
3.2 Modernform has also put in place measures to avoid conflict of interest where policies and practices regarding transactions with major shareholders, directors, executives or anyone relating to them are written down to make sure that approval will be made for the best interest of the firm while such transaction, if occurred, will be considered executed on an armûs length basis. If the transaction is a connected transaction, it must first be approved by the Audit Committee who will then submit the case for the Boardûs approval during which the person having an interest in the concerned transaction must not be present at the session nor cast his vote. This shall also be in line with the criteria determined by the Stock Exchange of Thailand while a review and monitoring is also conducted to ensure compliance on the basis of agreed conditions throughout the period such an agreement binds the Company.
3.3 Director representing the Company has also been appointed to sit as director of subsidiary and associated companies to determine policies, make approvals, express opinions and monitor operations of such relevant companies.
050
3.4 The Company Secretary, the Legal Department and the Internal Audit Department are required to monitor the Companyûs operation that it corresponds with Modernformûs Articles of Association, relevant laws and rules of the Stock Exchange of Thailand and the Securities and Exchange Commission to reduce Modernformûs business risk and to safeguard our reputation.
3.5 A security system has been put in place for the Companyûs computerized system to be in compliance with the Offenses Relating to Computer Act, B.E 2550 (2007). At the other end, Modernform has appointed the Computerized Information Security Committee as well as issued a regulation on çhow to safely use corporate computers and LAN.é The mechanism covers our operation system, access to our IT system, data back-up system, the disaster recovery plan (DRP), an annual drill and review based on the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) criteria and a contingency plan in case of disaster that could materially disrupt Modernformûs operation.
4. Information & Communication
4.1 Use relevant information One of Modernformûs priorities is to strengthen our IT system and data communication as we believe that any
decision should be made on accurate and adequate information. Thatûs why we require critical and enough information to be available both at the Board of Directorsû meeting and the meeting of the Audit Committee and shareholders by following the principles of corporate governances regarding how to organize a meeting in which practices such as sending an invitation letter to attend the meeting in advance, supporting information during the meeting and minutes of the meeting are clearly stipulated.
In addition, the Board of Directors, being aware of its responsibility towards financial statements prepared according to the generally-accepted accounting principles (GAAP), has implemented appropriate accounting policies and duly complied with the best practices. Accounting information has been comprehensively and categorically presented with issues raised by both external and internal auditors duly investigated and monitored. The Internal Control Department under the Audit Committeeûs supervision is entrusted to follow up with such raised issues until they are duly resolved.
4.2 Internal and external communications Modernform has set up both internal and external communications systems to smooth our internal control practice
where an operation manual, rules and regulations and announcements have constantly been updated to facilitate operation and management of shareholders, directors, executives and employees while allowing all stakeholders to send in advice and complaints or to report illegal, fraudulent or corrupted practices in the Company. In addition, Modernform has set up a call center to receive operation problems and difficulties for further improvement.
5. Monitoring activities The Executive Board of Directors has been entrusted to monitor the managementûs performance to make sure that
everyone is heading towards the same goal. The management meeting of internal units of each department is held four times a month to compare operation results with operation goals and plans to keep evaluating operation efficiency and revise it, if needed, in a timely fashion. The Internal Control Department under the Audit Committee is entrusted to regularly assess operation performances based on the internal control mechanisms previously set before reporting what it has found to the Audit Committee. This way, internal auditors can independently and honestly report performances on the basis of the International Standard for the Professional of Internal Auditing (IIA). If any material defect such as fraud or suspicion of fraud, legal violation, breach of the Code of Conduct, action that could lead to a conflict of interest against the Company or any other unusual action that could materially affect our reputation and financial position is found, they must immediately be reported to the Audit Committee for possible solutions or for tightening up the control system to meet business goals or other evolving external factors. The management meanwhile is required to keep reporting progress of their handling of such events to the Audit Committee and the Board of Director until everything is successfully resolved.

Procedure for approving connected transactions
The Companyûs Board of Directors established the measures to prevent any conflict of interests. It outlined clear transaction
procedures for its major shareholders, directors, executives or any persons relevant to the above-mentioned persons for reviewing any
transactions that may have any conflict of interests arise to consider all transactions that may involve conflicts of interest, including
related or connected transactions to ensure that they are in compliance with sound business ethics and meet the scrutiny of the Audit
Committee for defined items. As well, the Board supervises all transactions to see that they meet the criteria of the stock Exchange
Commission (SEC). Information disclosure on potential conflicts must be considered by the Board to ensure accurate and adequate
disclosure. In additional, for any transactions in which directors, employees or related persons could derive personal benefit from entering
into transactions with the company, the Board and employees are not permitted to participate in the approval of such transactions, and
the price must be properly defined in a manner consistent with that offered on armûs length basis.
Comments of the Audit Committee
The Audit Committee reviewed the above-mentioned inter-related and related transactions that took place with account posting
in 2013. It stated that the transactions complied with the requirements of the Stock Exchange of Thailand and the Securities and
Exchange Commission with disclosure of accurate and complete information. The normal business transactions were those with fair and
appropriate pricing and conditions according to the market prices. This was similar to pricing for any unrelated persons or other business
operations without any benefits among the Company, its subsidiaries, its associate companies, its joint ventures, its related companies
and its shareholders. The transactions were approved by the Management or the Board of Directors prior to occurrence of the
transactions.
As for the transactions of financial assistance, the Company extended credit and collaterals for its subsidiaries and associated
companies at the minimum lending rate (MLR) plus 0.5% per annum and rate fix 3 months plus 2% per annum. The interest rate was
that the commercial banks charged their prime customers. The Company provided loan collateral for its subsidiaries in a proportion of its
shareholding. This financial assistance allowed its subsidiaries to have borrowings at the rate and conditions according to the market or
better when compared to the case without any collaterals or direct borrowing from other financial institutions.
Future connected transactions
All future connected transactions will be conducted as part of the normal course of business with neither special favors nor
transfers of benefits between company and its subsidiaries or any connected person. The company will strictly comply with the
regulations of SET and other regulatory authorities related to connected transactions, based on reasonableness, appropriateness and
fairness, and for the utmost benefit of all shareholders and stakeholders, which is consistent with good corporate governance policies of
the company.

Industry Overview
Continuous Growth in Furniture Business
Furniture, furniture fittings and architectural hardware businesses still grow continuously during 2013 due to market demands
supported by the economic growth - with buoyant thanks to new condominium and detached housing projects, including the rapid
growth of housing in major cities in upcountry. However, the growth in 2013 creates high competition and particularly the political turmoil
during the fourth quarter has somehow affected the overall sales. With high backlog of orders, we believe we can still achieve good
result in 2014 provided that the political chaos would end soon.
Business Overview
Both sales volume and profit grew consecutively
MODERN continues to implement following strategies
1. Manage to strengthen gross profit. The gross profit in 2013 was slightly increased compared to that of 2012. The political turmoil
has not yet affected MODERNûs profit. MODERN still maintain the satisfied margin rate as MODERN has always been known as
the leader of introducing new products to the market. MODERN continues to implement çSoulmateé campaign to emphasize the
long term partnership with the consumers. Moreover MODERN continues to implement çValue Engineeringé to reduce and
maintain effective costing amidst the competitive environment.
2. Product development to focus on new innovation to create valuable uniqueness and to maintain our status as a design leader.
Moreover, the company keeps improving its own IT system to facilitate the workforce to be more effective and the workplace
more pleasant.
3. Continue the business alliance strategy for both domestic and overseas market to support companyûs growth and strength.
Recently MODERN has collaborated with Lighting and Equipment Plc.(L&E), a leading company in LED lighting system, to jointly
design a new collection of exclusive Lighting series for Modernform under the concept of çHarmony of Light & Livingé.
4. çBe Creative, Be Aggressiveé is the Corporate Theme to strongly promote innovation inside the company workforce and the
company always supports employeesû participations in work improvement through brainstorming, implementation and evaluation.
With the mentioned strategies, MODERN and subsidiaries registered continuing growth in both sales volume and profits.
MODERN maintains its financial strength with positive retained earnings, also has adequate credit facilities - ready to support growth
and further investments in new businesses.
Financial Performance in 2013
Sale volume increased by 12.9 percent to Baht 3,327.3 million with gross profit margin of 41.2 percent, an increase of 0.8 percent
In 2013, MODERN and subsidiaries recorded Baht 3,327.3 million sales volumes, representing12.9 percent increase of Baht 381.5
million from 2012 because of higher sales in current year including the deliveries of housing projects, condominiums and office furniture
from backlog of orders in 2012.The gross profit margin was at 41.2 percent increasing by 0.8 percent. Gross profit margin remained
healthy thanks to MODERNûs success to introduce now innovative products and services to the market. MODERN continuously
implement çValue Engineeringé for effective cost of goods sold.
Net profit equaled Baht 420.5 million, a 2.8 percent increase
Net profit of MODERN and subsidiaries in 2013 amounted to Baht 420.5 million, a slight increase of only 2.8 percent from 2012
due to higher operation cost.
In 2013, MODERN received shares of incomes from investment in associate and subsidiary companies total Baht 105.1 million, a
5.9 percent decreased from 2012 as some subsidiary companies generated lower sales target due to delay in deliveries to some projects.

The Audit Committee consisting of three independent directors appointed by the Board of Directors has performed its duties as
entrusted by the Board and in accordance with the Audit Committeeûs Charter No. 2. In 2013, the Audit Committee convened four times.
Results of its performances and opinions can be summarized as follows.
1. Reviewing quarterly financial statements and the 2013 financial statements - The Audit Committee reviewed quarterly financial
statements and the 2013 financial statements as well as approved the statements on every occasion before submitting them for
the Boardûs approval. The Audit Committee also met with the Companyûs auditors and director of the Accounting and Finance
Department to discuss important issues raised by auditors. Having reviewed the accuracy of the financial statements and the
adequacy of material information being disclosed; and having acknowledged observations, asked questions and listened to
clarifications, advices and possible solutions, the Audit Committee agrees with the auditor that Modernformûs financial statements
present fairly all material aspects of financial statements in general, are transparent and reliable; and the Company has selected
an appropriate accounting policy which corresponds to the Generally-Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and the
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as well as accounting standards and financial statement reporting criteria taking
effect for fiscal periods starting at or after January 1, 2013. All financial statements have already been audited, reviewed and
given an unconditionally qualified opinion by an independent certified public accountant (CPA).
2. Reviewing connected transactions or transactions that could pose conflict of interest - The Audit Committee examined connected
transactions or transactions that could pose a conflict of interest to ensure compliance with relevant rules, regulations and
legislations. This was carried out to assure that the Management had executed such transactions with transparency, soundness
and for the best interest of Modernform and its shareholders and that all transactions were reviewed by the Audit Committee. In
2013, there were connected transactions through which financial assistance and operation support had been offered to subsidiary
companies conducting business with commercial banks. The transactions did not cause any conflict of interest and Modernform duly
complied with the policy and already disclosed information as required by the Stock Exchange of Thailandûs rules and regulations.
3. Reviewing internal control system to evaluate its soundness, adequacy and efficiency - The Audit Committee reviewed the
internal control system to evaluate its soundness, adequacy and efficiency. The review covers every aspect from finance to
accounting and operation. Meanwhile, effective and adequate auditing and check & balance mechanisms are regularly put in
place to protect and oversee shareholdersû funds and Modernformûs assets. Every department is constantly reminded to conduct
the control self assessment to reduce potential risk and to achieve respective operation targets.
The Audit Committee also assessed the adequacy of Modernformûs own internal control process based on the COSO-
ERMûs criteria (The Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission - Enterprise Risk Management) which
consists of five components embedded with 17 principles as elaborated in the newly-revised evaluation form updated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2013. The Audit Committee is of the view that generally speaking, Modernform
does have adequate, sound and effective internal control system. No material weakness or defect that could affect the
Companyûs business has been found so far. More details can be read under the topic of çinternal controlé in this Annual Report.
4. Reviewing the corporate governance practice - The Audit Committee reviewed the corporate governance practice in which the
corporate governance policy was constantly examined and enhanced to suit corporate environment. So far, the 3rd manual of
corporate governance principles has already been issued. The Management and the Internal Audit Department under the
supervision of the Audit Committee have been entrusted to oversee the strengthening of effective corporate governance practice
while the Company undergoes an annual corporate governance policy compliance assessment each year. In 2013, the Board
evaluated such compliance using the latest evaluation form of corporate governance compliance for listed companies of 2013, the
results of which are elaborated under the topic of çcorporate governance complianceé also in this Annual Report.

5. Reviewing legal and other regulatory compliance - The Audit Committee, having reviewed legal compliance and other
compliance with rules, regulations and obligations relating to Modernformûs business, is of the opinion that the Company has
duly complied therewith.
6. Appointing and setting the auditorûs 2013 remunerations - The Audit Committee has appointed and determined the auditorûs
2013 remunerations before proposing this to the Board who will seek approval from the 2013 Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders. The Audit Committee, having reviewed the auditorûs past performance and assessing his independence and quality,
is of the opinion that itûs appropriate to appoint Mr. Sopon Lertsiriwallop, CPA License No. 3182; or Mr. Chayapol Supasettanon,
CPA License No. 3972; or Ms Pimjai Manitkajornkit, CPA, License No. 4521, of Ernst & Young Co Ltd to be the auditor in 2013
where the auditorûs 2013 fee is set at Baht 1.55 million divided into the quarterly auditing fee of Baht 150,000 per quarter for a
total of three quarters and the year-end auditing fee of Baht 1.1 million. The three auditors are not shareholders of the Company
or its subsidiaries. They have no relationship or interest with executives, major shareholders or those relating to subsidiary,
associated and connected companies, either.
7. Internal audit supervision - The Audit Committee reviewed all quarterly performances on the basis of the internal audit report
prepared by the Internal Audit Department. It also provided advice and monitors actions to correct situations as advised by the
audit report in material issues. In addition, the Committee helped strengthening the independency of the Internal Audit
Department by enabling it to express opinions relating to the internal audit performances honestly and efficiently. The Committee
also monitored performance progress following the annual internal audit action plan written each year by the Audit Department and
submitted to the Audit Committee for approval. It approved appropriate manpower and annual training budgets of internal auditors
to enhance their capacity-building as a means to push Modernformûs internal auditing practice to meet international criteria.
8. Improving communications among the Board of Directors, external auditors and the Internal Audit Department - The Audit
Committee plays a critical role to improve communications among the Board of Directors, external auditors and the Internal Audit
Department where it has required external auditors to meet with the Committee, executives from the Internal Audit Department
and the Finance and Accounting Department more frequently on a quarterly basis in order to review and ensure that the
Companyûs financial practice is in compliance with related new accounting standards. In addition, the Committee requires that
auditing results be reported on a quarterly basis while independence of both external and internal auditors is underlined to allow
them to express their opinions directly, to report auditing results as they have found and to remedy issues as advised since all
of this should enhance the efficiency of the operation.
9. In 2013, the Audit Committee duly performed its roles and responsibilities as specified in the Audit Committeeûs Charter and as
entrusted by the Board by exercising its competency and prudence while having enough independence and being able to
honestly express opinions to the Board and relevant parties for the best interest of all stakeholders with no restriction when it
comes to accessing information from executives, employees and other related parties. Based on the review and supervision, it
can be concluded that in general, internal control and corporate governance is adequately transparent and efficient. Material
information and transactions required to be presented by relevant laws and regulations have been disclosed in strict compliance
with procedures and mechanisms that the Company has to abide by and all are auditable. The operation system has been
constantly adjusted for a better quality and to suit evolving business environment.
In addition, the Audit Committee has also assessed its performance on an annual basis using an evaluation form of the Stock
Exchange of Thailand, the result of which shows that the entire Audit Committee efficiently and effectively performed all activities in 2013
at a very excellent level.

Independent Auditorûs Report
To the Shareholders of Modernform Group Public Company Limited I have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Modernform Group Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholdersû equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and have also audited the separate financial statements of Modernform Group Public Company Limited for the same period. Managementûs Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Thai Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditorûs Responsibility My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with Thai Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditorûs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entityûs preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entityûs internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion. Opinion In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Modernform Group Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries and of Modernform Group Public Company Limited as at 31 December 2013, and their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with Thai Financial Reporting Standards. Emphasis of matter I draw attention to Note 4 to the financial statements regarding the change in accounting policy due to the adoption of Thai Accounting Standard 12 Income Taxes. The Company has restated the consolidated and separate financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012, presented herein as comparative information, to reflect the adjustments resulting from such change. The Company has also presented the consolidated and separate statements of financial position as at 1 January 2012 as comparative information, using the newly adopted accounting policy for income taxes. My opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

Modernform Group Public Company Limited (çthe Companyé) is a public company incorporated and domiciled in Thailand.
The Company is principally engaged in the manufacture and distribution of home and office furniture and its registered address is
699 Srinakarindr Road, Suan Luang, Bangkok. The Company has a total of 5 branches located in Bangkok and other provinces.
2. Basis of preparation
2.1 The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Thai Financial Reporting standards enunciated under the
Accounting Profession Act B.E. 2547 and their presentation has been made in compliance with the stipulations of the
Notification of the Department of Business Development dated 28 September 2011, issued under the Accounting Act B.E. 2543.
The financial statements in Thai language are the official statutory financial statements of the Company. The
financial statements in English language have been translated from the Thai language financial statements.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except where otherwise disclosed in the
accounting policies.
2.2 Basis of consolidation
a) The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Modernform Group Public Company
Limited (çthe Companyé) and the following subsidiary companies (çthe subsidiariesé): Country of Percentage of Companyûs name Nature of business incorporation shareholding

2013 2012 Percent Percent Held by Rafa Associates Company Limited Rafa Plus Architect Company Limited Architectural engineering design Thailand 75 75 Rafa Design Office Company Limited Landscape architecture design Thailand 75 75
On 5 March 2012, Rafa Associated Company (a subsidiary in which the Company has 75% shareholding)
sold all of the shares it held in a subsidiary (Rafa Plus Management Company Limited) to a third party. As a
result, the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012 excluded the financial position of Rafa Plus
Management Company Limited because the Company no longer has a control in the subsidiary since the disposal
date. The operating results of Rafa Plus Management Company Limited were included in the consolidated income
statement only for operations from 1 January 2012 to 5 March 2012, which was the disposal date.
b) Subsidiaries are fully consolidated being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be
consolidated until the date when such control ceases.
c) The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared using the same significant accounting policies as the Company.

d) Material balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiary companies, intercompany transactions,
investment balance in the Companyûs books and share capital of the subsidiary companies and profit included in
the end of year balance of inventories, have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.
e) Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets of the subsidiaries that are not held
by the Company and are presented separately in the consolidated income statement and within equity in the
consolidated statement of financial position.
2.3 The separate financial statements, which present investments in subsidiaries and associates under the cost method, have

5. Significant accounting policies
5.1 Revenue recognition
Sales of goods
Sales of goods are recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to
the buyer. Sales are the invoiced value, excluding value added tax, of goods supplied after deducting discounts and
allowances.
Rendering of rental and services
Rental and related services income of units in office building are recognised when services have been rendered
on an accrual basis.
Rendering of architectural design services
Architectural design services income are recognised when services have been rendered taking into account the
stage of completion of the contract.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis based on the effective interest rate.
076
Dividends
Dividends are recognised when the right to receive the dividends is established.
5.2 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand and at bank, and all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less and not subject to withdrawal restrictions.
5.3 Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are stated at the net realisable value. Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for
the estimated losses that may be incurred in collection of receivables. The allowance is generally based on collection
experiences and analysis of debt aging.
5.4 Inventories
Finished goods and work in process are valued at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost)
and net realisable value. Standard cost includes all production costs and attributable factory overheads.
Trade finished goods are valued at the lower of average cost and net realisable value.
Raw materials are valued at the lower of average cost and net realisable value and are charged to production costs
whenever consumed.
5.5 Investments
a) Investments in securities held for trading are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value of these securities are
recorded in profit or loss.
b) Investments in available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value of these securities
are recorded in comprehensive income, and will be recorded as gains or losses in the income statements when
the securities are sold.
c) Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method.
d) Investments in subsidiaries and associate are accounted for in the separate financial statements at cost less
provision for impairment of investments (if any).
The fair value of marketable securities is based on the latest bid price of the last working day of the year. The
fair value of unit trusts is determined from their net asset value.
The weighted average method is used for computation of the cost of investments.
In the event the Company reclassifies investments from one type to another, such investments will be readjusted
to their fair value as at the reclassification date. The difference between the carrying amount of the investments and the
fair value on the date of reclassification are recorded in profit or loss or recorded as other components of shareholdersû
equity, depending on the type of investment that is reclassified.
On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the
investment is recognised in the income statement.
5.6 Investment properties
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition,
investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and allowance for loss on impairment (if any).
Depreciation of investment properties is calculated by reference to their costs on the straight-line basis over
estimated useful lives of 15 and 30 years. Depreciation of the investment properties is included in determining income.
On disposal of investment properties, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount
of the asset is recognised in the income statement in the period when the asset is derecognised.
5.7 Property, plant and equipment / Depreciation
Land is stated at cost. Building and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and allowance
for loss on impairment of assets (if any).
077
Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated by reference to their costs on the straight-line basis over the
following estimated useful lives:
Useful lives
Land improvement 15 - 20 years
Buildings 20 years
Building improvement 5 - 20 years
Leasehold improvement 5 years
Machinery 5 - 11 years
Furniture and equipment 5 - 10 years
Vehicles 5 years
Other equipment 3 - 20 years
Depreciation is included in determining income.
No depreciation is provided on land and construction in progress.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of an asset is included in the income statement
when the asset is derecognised.
5.8 Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired through business combination are initially recognised at their fair value on the date of
business acquisition while intangible assets acquired in other cases are recognised at cost. Following the initial
recognition, the intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment
losses (if any).
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised on a systematic basis over the 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 profit or loss.
A summary of the intangible asset with finite useful lives is as follow:
Useful lives
Computer software 5 - 10 years
5.9 Goodwill
Goodwill is initially recorded at cost, which equals to the excess of cost of business combination over the fair
value of the net assets acquired. If the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the cost of business combination,
the excess is immediately recognised as gain in the income statement.
Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually
and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the
Company and subsidiariesû cash generating units (or group of cash-generating units) that are expected to benefit from
the synergies of the combination. The Company and its subsidiaries estimate the recoverable amount of each cash-
generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statements.
Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
078
5.10 Related party transactions
Related parties comprise enterprises and individuals that control, or are controlled by, the Company, whether
directly or indirectly, or which are under common control with the Company.
They also include associated companies and individuals which directly or indirectly own a voting interest in the
Company that gives them significant influence over the Company, key management personnel, directors and officers with
authority in the planning and direction of the Companyûs operations.
5.11 Operating lease
Leases not transferring a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee are classified as
operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised
as an expense in the income statements on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to

6. Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with financial reporting standards at times requires management to
make subjective judgments and estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments and estimates affect
reported amounts and disclosures; and actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant judgments and estimates are
as follows:
Leases
In determining whether a lease is to be classified as an operating lease or finance lease, the management is required to
use judgment regarding whether significant risk and rewards of ownership of the leased asset has been transferred, taking into
consideration terms and conditions of the arrangement.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
In determining an allowance for doubtful accounts, the management needs to make judgment and estimates based upon,
among other things, past collection history, aging profile of outstanding debts and the prevailing economic condition.
Allowance for diminution in value of inventory
In determining an allowance for diminution in value of inventory, the management needs to exercise judgment in making
estimates based upon the condition of goods and the duration such goods have remained in stock.
Fair value of financial instruments
In determining the fair value of financial instruments that are not actively traded and for which quoted market prices are
not readily available, the management exercise judgment, using a variety of valuation techniques and models. The input to these
models is taken from observable markets, and includes consideration of liquidity, correlation and longer-term volatility of financial
instruments.
Property plant and equipment and investment property/Depreciation
In determining depreciation of plant and equipment and investment property, the management is required to make
estimates of the useful lives and residual values of the Company and subsidiariesû plant and equipment and investment property,
and to review estimate useful lives and residual values when there are any changes.
In addition, the management is required to review property, plant and equipment and investment property for impairment
on a periodical basis and record impairment losses in the period when it is determined that their recoverable amount is lower
than the carrying amount. This requires judgments regarding forecast of future revenues and expenses relating to the assets
subject to the review.
Goodwill and intangible assets
The initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets, and subsequent impairment testing,
require management to make estimates of cash flows to be generated by the asset or the cash generating units and to choose a
suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences and losses can be utilised. Significant
management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely
timing and level of estimate future taxable profits.
Post-employment benefits under defined benefit plans
The obligation under the defined benefit plan is determined based on actuarial techniques. Such determining is made
based on various assumptions, including discount rate, future salary increase rate, mortality rate and staff turnover rate.

30. Segment information
Operating segment information is reported in a manner consistent with the internal reports that are regularly reviewed by
the chief operating decision maker in order to make decisions about the allocation of resources to the segment and assess its
performance. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as Board of Directors of the Company.
For management purposes, the Company and its subsidiaries are organised into business units based on its products and
services and have four reportable segments which are (1) office and resident furniture business, (2) furniture fittings and other
materials business, (3) office rental business and (4) architectural design business.
No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.
The chief operating decision maker monitors the operating results of the business units separately for the purpose of
making decisions about resource allocation and assessing performance. Segment performance is measured based on operating
profit or loss and total assets and on a basis consistent with that used to measure operating profit or loss and total assets in
the financial statements.
The basis of accounting for any transactions between reportable segments is consistent with that for third party
transactions.
The following tables present revenue, profit and total assets information regarding the Company and its subsidiariesû
operating segments for the years ended 31 December 2013 and 2012, respectively.
