Dividend Information

Amata Corporation Public Company Limited and its subsidiary companies have the policy to pay dividend at minimum 40% of the net profit from the operating performance of each year depending on economic atmosphere of the country, industrial estate market condition and cash flow position of the Company starting from 1995/1996.

In 2007, due to the change of the accounting policy under the announcement of the Federation of Accounting Professions under which investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates are to be presented in the separate financial statements under the cost method rather than the equity method. But in the consolidated financial statements, we still apply the equity method. This will reflect the difference of the net profit in the financial statements of the company only and the consolidated one.

So, the Company shall pay dividend from the profit of the financial statements of the Company only. The Company will not pay dividend when there is loss in the consolidated financial statements. Also, the Company will not pay dividend if after dividend distribution, the retained earnings in the consolidated financial statements turns to be a loss.
