| Generally 
                    the basic accounting principles practices comply with GAAP 
                    (generally accepted accounting methods). The Institute of 
                    Certified Accountants and Auditors of Thailand is the authoritative 
                    group promoting the application of generally accepted accounting 
                    principles. Thailand GAAP are similar to International Accounting 
                    Standard (IAS).  Any 
                    accounting method, which is adopted by a company, must be 
                    used consistently and may be changed only with the approval 
                    of the Revenue Department. Certain accounting practices which 
                    may be noted include depreciation, statutory reserve, stock 
                    dividends, consolidation, and accounting for pension plans.
