          Commenting on the success of the recent launches, Mr. Ted Thirapatana, Chief Business Development Officer for Ananda, stated, ̶en;The strong sales rate for our recent launches and our ability to raise prices shows that well located projects are in demand from Thai consumers. We will be able to offer more of these kinds of projects to the public next year and expect our sales rates to remain strong.”
          Mr Chanond Ruangkritya, CEO of Ananda, said, "We are delighted to have achieved such strong results in the quarter and in particular that our newly projects were so well received. Ananda is the current leader in Bangkok mass transit living and we believe we will end the year the second biggest seller of condominiums in the country and next year we hope to achieve market leadership.”
          He continued, ̶en;Despite this explosive growth we have maintained our financial discipline and maintained our net interest bearing debt to equity to only1:1 as we promised investors we would.”
          He added, ̶en;The launches next year follow the plan we outlined at our IPO as our capital begins to return from projects we are able to reinvest it and thus grow rapidly without adding excessive leverage. This self-discipline in maintaining our financial ratios has paid off in that the company was little affected by the economic downturn earlier in the year and is now able to grow rapidly next year.” 
          On the subject of the 2en15 Business Plan he explained, ̶en;Our targets for revenue and presales growth of 23% and 14% respectively next year are based on a cautious approach to the economic situation, although we expect growth to improve from this year. In 2en14 so far we have seen a cancelation rate from condominium customers of less than 2% and a mortgage rejection similarly of less than 3%. We do not expect this to be any worse next year.”
          He continued, ̶en;Our total presales target for the year is 2en,131 million Baht. This will be generated from sales from previously launched projects as well as from the 14,95en million Baht in 4new condominium projects we will launch this year.”
          He concluded, ̶en;Our cash flow for next year is strong and as a matter of company policy we maintain a cash balance of at least a billion Baht at all times. We have continued to have strong support from our banks and have multiple options in place to fund the cash needs of the company through the year depending on how the situation evolves. We expect to issue total bonds next year of only 2 billion Baht, a reduction from the 6.4 billion issued this year as we are able to fund operations from cash flow.”
