Number Format Problem

I'm trying to convert a string to a number, so that I can use it in an arithmetic function, but there is a problem:

set theAmount to "12345.00"
set theAmount to theAmount as number
log theAmount --> 1.2346E+4

How can I prevent the number from converting to this format?

Thanks,

John
