NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS AT 31 MARCH 2006 (IN LIQUIDATION) AND 2005
1 Business activities
Siam Investment Fund ('the Fund') is a closed-end investment fund and was
incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability in the Cayman Islands
on 22 February 1996. The Fund obtained a listing for its shares on the London
Stock Exchange on 25 April 1996. The Fund's investment objective is to achieve
long-term capital appreciation through investments primarily in unlisted
companies, joint ventures and projects. Such investments were previously in the
Southeast Asian region, however, following a change in mandate as approved by
the shareholders' meeting held on 6 March 1998, the Fund has invested up to 100%
of its capital in listed and unlisted companies in Thailand.
At the Extraordinary General Meeting of the shareholders held on 22 February
2006, the shareholders considered but did not give their approval to either
extending the life of the Fund or placing the Fund into voluntary liquidation.
Accordingly, in compliance with the Fund's Memorandum and Articles of
Association and in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, the Fund
commenced voluntary liquidation with effect from midnight (Cayman Islands time)
on 22 February 2006, and the directors of the Fund became the liquidators of
the Fund. As a result, the Fund's listing on the London Stock Exchange was
suspended on 23 February 2006 onwards.
2 Significant accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with and are generally
consistent with the International Accounting Standards. These require the Fund's
Directors to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and
disclosure in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
b) Cash equivalents
The Fund considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months
or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
c) Investments
All securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at
the closing market prices. Securities for which market quotations are not
readily available are valued by the Directors at cost or at a valuation based on
third-party transactions in the same or in similar investments or at fair market
value taking into consideration the cost of the investments, the quoted prices
of investments of comparable publicly traded companies, market conditions, the
underlying collateral, financial data and projections of the issuer of any
relevant securities, and such other factors as the Directors may deem relevant.
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and
losses from securities transactions are reported on an identified cost basis.
Dividend and interest income is accounted for on an accrual basis. Discounts on
securities purchased are amortised over the life of the respective securities.
d) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States
dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates. All
monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies at the balance
sheet date are translated into United States dollars at the rate of exchange
prevailing at that date.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on translation of foreign currencies
relating to the carrying value of investments are charged directly to income
before being appropriated as the capital reserves. All other realized and
unrealized gains and losses on translation of foreign currencies are included in
the statement of operations.
e) Interest income
Interest income is recognised under the accrual basis.
f) Net asset value per share
Net asset value per share is determined by dividing the net asset value by the
weighted average number of shares in issue during the year.

(a) PAE (Thailand) Public Company Limited
PAE (Thailand) Public Company Limited (PAE) is a construction company which was
listed in the Stock Exchange of Thailand ('SET'). The company was founded in
1964 as a subsidiary of an American company carrying out engineering projects in
Thailand. PAE expanded its construction and engineering operations rapidly
during 1994-1997. To keep up with the growth, PAE entered into significant
foreign currency loan contracts. As a result of the Baht devaluation in July
1997, liabilities grew substantially from Baht 761 million to Baht 3,249 million
while the company was unable to secure any new sizable contract after the Baht
crisis. The Company, therefore, was unable to service its debts. The management
had no choice but to enter the Bank of Thailand CDRAC process in an effort to
reach an arrangement with its creditors to restructure its debt. At the end of
CDRAC process, PAE decided to file for business reorganization with the Central
Bankruptcy Court. The Court granted an order for rehabilitation of PAE on 22
February 2000 and appointed GTT Planners Co., Ltd. as the Plan Administrator.
The Rehabilitation Plan was approved and amended several times. The final
Rehabilitation Plan was approved by the Central Bankruptcy Court on 15 November
2002. Under this plan, the existing capital of PAE was to be decreased.
Subsequently, Freeinternet Co., Ltd. and a group of new investors were to inject
capital funds of Baht 210 million to subscribe to 35 million newly issued shares
of PAE at the price of Baht 6 per share (Baht 10 par value). These funds were to
be used as a payment to the priority creditors. On 26 January 2004, a group of
new investors including Siam Investment Fund injected capital totaling Baht 210
million to subscribe to 35 million shares. The Central Bankruptcy Court, on 28th
April 2004, issued their acceptance of the completion of the Rehabilitation Plan
of PAE as the decrease and increase in capital and the new shares issued to the
investors as well as the payment to the priority creditors, secured creditors
and non-secured creditors were completed.
In 2006, PAE will continue to focus on its core construction and
telecommunication business. PAE has already filed to resume trading on the SET
and could potentially get approval by the fourth quarter of 2006. The Fund owns
2.6 million shares of PAE which represents 6.96% holding of the company. The
remainder is held by Freeinternet and other minority investors.
(b) JP-One Assets Co., Ltd.
JP-One Assets Co., Ltd., ('JP-One'), was incorporated under the laws of Thailand
in November 2003 by Bangkok Aviation Fuel Services Public Company Limited ('BAFS
'), the company which supplies aviation fuel to Bangkok's existing international
airport, with the participation of, amongst others, the Fund. JP-One was
established to receive the award of a contract for the supply of aviation fuel
to the new international airport in Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi Airport). BAFS
arranged the issue of the shares in JP-One to cover the cost of building a
pipeline extension to the new airport.
The Fund made the investment in anticipation of the new airport being completed
in September 2005, which was the projected timetable at the date of the
investment. However, it became apparent late in 2004 that construction of the
new airport was well behind schedule and that completion of the new airport and
its certification by the International Air Transport Association would not be
achieved by September 2005. The Fund understands that latest estimates are for
a delay of upwards of nine months. In light of that delay, the Fund has sold
part of its stake in JP-One at cost to its related party, FFM, in March 2005.
See details discussed for the related party transactions in Note 7.1.
As at 31 March 2006 and 2005, the Fund owns 0.36 million share of JP-One which
represents a 6.00% holding of the Company. The remainder is owned by Finansa
Fund Management Ltd. ('FFM') and other investors. Under certain agreements
entered into during 2004-2005, the Fund agreed to hold shares presenting 15.67%
of JP-One, as at 31 March 2006, for the benefit of other investors (31 March
2005: totaling 36.50% of which 15.67% is for the benefit of other investors and
20.83% was owned by FFM).
(c) Monterey Pizza Co., Ltd.
The convertible term loan to Monterey Pizza Co., Ltd. ('Monterey') was
denominated in US$ and carries interest at six month US$ LIBOR, payable every
six months. The loan was secured by the major shareholders of Monterey and was
scheduled for repayable in full prior to 20 December 1998. As part of the loan
agreement, the Fund has the right to convert a portion of the term loan into
Monterey Shares equivalent to 250,000 Monterey shares (with par value of Baht
100 per share).
Monterey has experienced financial difficulties since 1997. Interest was not
paid when due. The Fund had stopped accruing interest since December 1997. A
legal demand for payment of principal and accrued interest was made to Monterey
as well as to two directors who had guaranteed the loan. The court ruled in
favor of the Fund's demand for Baht 108 million. The defendants were asked by
the court to settle with the Fund. The loan was written down to zero in 2003. In
2004, the case was finalized by the Thai Appeals Court that the Fund getting
payment of Baht 2.5 million (approximately US$ 63,484) each year for 7 years,
totalling Baht 17.5 million (approximately US$ 444,388). Repayment of the
principal amounting US$ 48,287 in 2006 (2005 : US$ 45,716 ) has been charged to
gain from reversal of bad debt in the statement of operations since the
provision for possible loan loss was provided in full since 2003.
The Fund has taken a conservative approach to establish full provisions for
possible loss of such problematic unlisted investments (Note 3.2) as at 31 March
2006 and 2005. The Fund's directors believe that the provision is adequately
estimated to cover the possible loss of such investments.
Credit risk
The Fund has significant investments in Thailand which may involve greater risk
than investments in more developed markets. The prices of such investments may
be volatile. The yields of emerging market debt obligations reflect, amongst
other matters, perceived credit risk. The consequences of political, social or
economic changes in Thailand may have disruptive effects on the market prices of
the Fund's investments and the income they generate.
Currency risk
All of the Fund's equity investments where the investee company is incorporated
in Thailand are subject to currency risk as the investee shares are denominated
in Thai Baht.
Fair values
Listed and unlisted investments are respectively stated at market values and
Directors' valuations. At 31 March 2006, in the opinion of the Directors, the
carrying values of the listed and unlisted investments approximate their fair
values.

more than 5% of net assets as at 31 March 2006 is as follows:

7 Related party transactions
7.1 Sales of unlisted equity investment
In light of the delay of the construction of the new airport which was
scheduled for completion by September 2005, which delay would cause a project
cost overrun by JP-One, as fully described in Note 3(b) to the financial
statements, and a desire on the part of the directors of the Fund to return cash
to shareholders, the Fund entered into a sales transaction of its stake in
JP-One to Finansa Fund Management Ltd. ('FFM'), its related party, on 29 March
2005. The Fund sold a 12.33% stake in JP-One shares (totaling 740,000 ordinary
shares, par value US$ 2.50 each, 85% (US$ 2.125 each) paid - up, equivalent to
US$ 1.57 million) to FFM at the cost value of those shares. The Fund's view was
that FFM was a ready and willing purchaser and it was unlikely that there would
be any other buyer of the JP-One shares, an unlisted company, which could be
found prior to the maturity of the Fund.
It came to the attention of the Board of Directors of the Fund at a
meeting on 22 April 2005 that the sale transaction may have failed fully to
comply with the requirements of Chapter 11 of the London Stock Exchange Listing
Rules concerning related party transactions. The Board of the Fund has
investigated and notified the UK Listing Authority (the Financial Services
Authority) of this issue. The Board of the Fund, however, has taken such steps,
which it believes are appropriate steps to ensure that a lapse in compliance
with Chapter 11 does not occur in the future.
