14. YEAR 2000 PROBLEM AND COMPUTER REMEDY PLAN
The Year 2000 problem arises because many computerized systems use two digits
rather than four to identify the year. Date-sensitive system may recognize the year 2000 as some other
dates resulting in errors when information using year 2000 dates is processed. Entities may experience
the effects of Year 2000 problem before on or after January 1, 2000 and the effects to significant
system failure which could affect an entity's ability to conduct normal business operations. In addition, it
is not possible to be certain that all aspects of the year 2000 problem affecting the entity, including those
related to the efforts of customers, suppliers or other third parties, will be fully resolved.
In August 1998, the Company commenced its plan to improve its computerized system
(hardware and software) in respect of resolving the year 2000 compliance problem. The plan is expected to be
completed by August 1999. The expected costs of remedying the problem is approximately Baht 400,000
and these costs will be recognized in the period in which they occur. However no expenditure in relation to
remedy project incurred during the period ended June 30, 1999. Although the Company expects to remedy its
year 2000 compliance problems by the time Year 2000, it still remains a risk from other entities with which the
Company undertakes business if they are unable to remedy their own problems in time. The effects can not be
determined presently.
