The flood disaster caused great damage to our economy. Simultaneously, the economic problems of the global superpowers remained unsolved and required the implementation of a permanent solution. Their problems in turn become our problems, particularly affecting the export sector which is our nation’s important economic segment. The private public synergy helped strengthen and revitalize our economy to a higher-than- expected 6.4 percent economic growth for 2012 and prepared us for our big step ahead. The real estate business was largely impacted by the flood disaster that had major implications for a large segment of the population and significantly affected many residential developments. There are continuing efforts from all parties to renovate and rehabilitate the disaster-affected areas while all aspects of preventive and protective measures are being put in place. Nevertheless, during the first half of 2012, consumers remained uncertain and concerned. This caused further sluggishness in unit sales of low-rise residential developments in the Bangkok Metropolitan areas and its vicinity. High-rise development, in contrast, enjoyed much better consumer response. Growth was also evidenced in the residential development market in provincial areas. In 2012, labor shortage became a major obstacle factor for real estate developers and negatively impacted their construction plans. For SC Asset Corporation Public Company Limited, despite the fact that some of our low-rise development projects were located in the flood impacted zones, we were able to well-protect our projects and allowed no damage to occur. In the aftermath of the flood, we also redesigned our infrastructure and utility schemes to provide ultimate protection against any potential floods, while reassuring our project residents and our homeowners about the safety of their properties by installing required protective equipment, and raising land and ground levels of our new developments. Our consistent policy on attentive care and product innovation enabled us to achieve higher sales for single detached houses and townhouses than in the previous year. We also launched new high–rise condominiums in the central areas of Bangkok and in the resort town of Hua Hin. The Crest Santora Hua Hin is our first provincial project. We organized overseas road shows of our projects which received good responses. In the last quarter of the year we completed 3 condominiums for which the ownership transfer process for the units sold have begun. These sales proceeds helped strengthen our operating revenues for 2012 and pushed both sales and revenue growth to a higher level than their anticipated targets. In 2012, the Company reported total revenues of Baht 8,427 million, a 14% growth from the previous year; Baht 1,108 million in net profits or Baht 1.68 in earnings per share. As at 31 December 2012, our consolidated total assets and total liabilities were Baht 22,751 million, and Baht 12,680 million, respectively. The book value per share at yearend 2012 was Baht 15.30. In 2012, we have 30 residential projects for sales with an aggregated project value of Baht 29,100 million, comprised of single detached houses, townhouses and comdominium projects. SC ASSET CORPORATION PLC. 5 In 2012 we were awarded numerous recognitions and honors, including the Top Corporate Governance Report Awards from the Stock Exchange of Thailand, the Investors’ Choice Award from the Thai Investors Association, other outstanding design and development awards for condominiums, and single detached house projects, and the Outstanding Safety Building Management Award for Shinawatra Tower III which was selected by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration as one of the thirteen outstanding buildings. We remain firm in our direction and policy to create continuity and stability in our business operations and stay committed to be creative and quality oriented in our business, products and services developments. We focus on human resource competency enhancement and pay attention to fostering the simultaneous creation of good society and environmental responsibility. We believe that when an organization achieves its profitable growth, it has a corporate duty to pay back its share of success to the society. Together, organizations and society must progress hand-in hand. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation to all stakeholders which are the shareholders, customers, business alliances, management, and employees who have faith in the Company and have always extended their strong support to the Company in achieving its operating objective and success targets. We also promise to bring sustainable growth, good governance, and business prosperity to our work and operations.
