Message from the Chairman 18

Annual Report 2006 - Thai Beverage Public Company Limited


19

Dear Shareholders, Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (“Company”) recognizes its mission to continuously sharpen its competitive edge, generate value, and move forward for the best interests of shareholders, customers, and employees under good corporate governance. Our performance in 2006 proved that we have adhered to our cause despite volatile domestic economic conditions in the country, natural disasters, and unforeseen events. Year of Progress and Success In 2006 the Company succeeded in its operations with total sales revenue of 97,798 million Baht, a 3.1% increase from 2005. The operating profit amounted to 15,789 million Baht, and the net profit was 10,055 million Baht. The Company took two major measures to reduce its debt while increasing financial liquidity. First, 3,110,025,000 common shares were sold to foreign investors and local institutional investors as a means of recapitalization. Second, the Company successfully listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“Singapore Exchange”) and began trading its common shares on May 30, 2006. Many events in 2006 had a bearing on the Company’s operations, including floods in upcountry areas, which affected the distribution of white spirits. However, the beer market remained intact because most of our consumers live in urban areas, which remained relatively dry. The beer market expanded in the third quarter with the greater popularity of Archa Beer. The anticipated regulatory change in the advertisement of alcohol products will affect all operators in the alcoholic beverage industry, including the Company. The actual impact on the Company cannot be assessed until the regulation becomes effective. In relation to our business management, the Board of Directors (“Board”) has delegated authority to certain groups in the Company, including the Executive Board of Directors, which is responsible for the day-to-day business administration of the group, and working committees in charge of specific tasks. These groups maintain close communication with the Board to ensure appropriate business management, enhance the Board’s oversight efficiency, and adherence to corporate governance. In doing so, the Company aims to generate the highest value and gain acceptance from


20

shareholders, investors, stakeholders, related parties, as well as regulatory agencies. Five committees support the work of the Board, namely the Executive Board of Directors, the Audit Committee, the Remuneration Committee, the Nomination Committee, and the Risk Management Committee. These people have put in their best efforts, thereby strengthening our ability to conduct our business under good corporate governance. Market Leadership and Strength in Product Distribution Our beer and liquor products are well accepted in both local and international markets. By establishing a network of over 400,000 distributors throughout Thailand as well as maintaining good relationships with distributing agents and sales representatives, sales of the Company’s beer and liquor products have been on the rise. Business Strategies Our strategies focus on product distribution and brand awareness. We will work more closely with distributors to develop sales strategies in consideration on consumer needs. We have not only conducted market research to develop products aligning with consumer needs but also conducted product research by the blending expertise of foreign liquor manufacturers with Thai liquor manufacturers. This will lead to better understanding of consumer needs, thus creating new products that are comparable, or superior to foreign leading liquors, thereby reducing our need to import. For long-term competitiveness and brand awareness, the Company became a sponsor of the British Everton Football Club, whose team uniform features the Chang logo, instantly making the brand of beer well-known among soccer fans around the world. The Company operates three beer breweries with a total capacity of 1,550 million liters per year, and 17 distilleries are under the Company’s network with a total production capacity of 808 million liters per year. All breweries and distilleries have been upgraded and constantly monitored to maintain local and international standards, including Thai Industrial Standard and ISO 900:2004. Moreover, our operating facilities have achieved Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) certification as well as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification from the Food & Drug Administration. All breweries won ISO 14001:2004 certification for environmental management, and their laboratories won ISO 17025 certification. These accreditations reflect our commitment to the quality of products and consumer needs. In addition, these efforts raise our competitiveness in the global market.


21

Social Responsibility Apart from business performance and targets, we take our environmental responsibility seriously. All our manufacturing facilities are required to adopt ISO 1400:2004 standards in their environmental management. In addition, we continue to provide assistance to the needy and those affected by natural disasters, as well as supporting the efforts of government and private organizations in social contribution, including sports and public health. Moving Ahead with Sustainability It is projected that the beer and liquor markets will expand both locally and internationally. With a strong commitment to continually enhancing every aspect of its business, the Company will forge ahead with sustainability and stability. This annual report contains information on our business performance, credit rankings, organizational achievements, financial performance, risk management, market trends, and good corporate governance. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank every customer and shareholder for continuously supporting the Company’s business operations, and extend my appreciation to the Company’s Directors, executives and employees, who have demonstrated full dedication to carrying out their duties. I assure you that the Company will continue to do its best under good corporate governance for sustainable business growth.

Mr. Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi Chairman

Operating and Financial Review 60

Annual Report 2006 - Thai Beverage Public Company Limited

Contents 1 Overview 2 Vision & Mission 3 Business in Thailand 4 Overseas Business 5 Management Discussion and Analysis 6 Shareholder Returns 7 Risk Factors Overview Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (“ThaiBev”) was incorporated in October 2003 in an effort to consolidate Thailand’s leading beer and spirits businesses owned by our Principal Shareholders and their business associates under a single holding company. The Company was subsequently listed on the Singapore Exchange (“SGX”) on May 30, 2006. Our Initial Public Offering was a great success and was awarded “Thailand Capital Market Deals 2006” by IFR Asia in February 2007. ThaiBev is majority owned by our Principal Shareholders, Mr. Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi and family, which owns approximately 63% of ThaiBev’s paid-up share capital. The rest of the shares are held by private groups of shareholders and is in public hands. We are the leading producer and distributor of beer and spirits in Thailand by sales and production volume and one of the largest brewers and distillers in Southeast Asia. We currently generate substantially all of our revenue from sales of our products in Thailand. In addition to Thailand, it is also our vision to expand internationally. In 2006, our wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong, International Beverage Holdings Limited (“IBHL”), acquired Inver House Distillers Limited, a UK-based company which owns five Scotch whisky distilleries in Scotland. IBHL is also taking the lead in our regional expansion by setting up distribution companies outside Thailand. Today, ThaiBev is Thailand’s largest private company listed on the SGX with market capitalization of S$6.8 billion (US$4.4 billion) as at 29 December 2006, and offers investors a unique opportunity to invest in Thailand consumer business with significant growth potential regionally.

Corporate Vision “To be the leader in beer and spirits businesses in Thailand and expand internationally with a focus on Asian markets � Mission Deliver highest quality products to our consumers We will provide products of superior quality and value that satisfy and exceed our consumers’ expectation. Maintain our market dominance and expand into new growth areas We will maintain our market leadership, which has given us solid business fundamentals over the years. Simultaneously, we will leverage our expertise, passion, and competitive strength to expand into new growth areas and deliver superior returns to our shareholders. Capitalize on innovations to reduce waste and increase efficiency We will continue to invest in new technology and infrastructure to further improve the production and distribution of our products and reduce costs. Utmost care for society and environment We believe in sustainable growth as a good corporate citizen, and will devote a significant amount of our time and effort into corporate social responsibility initiatives to ensure the highest level of environmental and safety standards in the communities in which we operate. Provide excellent career opportunities and security for our employees Our people are the key drivers of our success. We will invest in our human capital through training and succession planning for all employees. Business in Thailand Despite an increasingly competitive market, we continue to be the leading producer of beer and spirits in Thailand. In line with our strategy to maintain our market leadership position in the beer and spirits markets, we invest a significant amount of our time and energy to further strengthen our brands and enhance product loyalty with end consumers.


62

As a good corporate citizen, we achieve these positive results while remaining in full-compliance with the Government’s responsible-drinking initiatives and regulations at all times. Beer Business 2006 was an exciting year for our beer business. In particular, we saw a successful recovery in our beer sales volume for the first time since 2003. In 2006, our total beer sales volume grew 12% to 9.2 MHL from 8.2 MHL in 2005. We successfully launched two new beers, namely “Chang Light” and “Chang Draught”, to meet the rapidly growing consumer demand for light beer. Chang Light, launched in March 2006 was launched to penetrate the standard segment of the beer market while Chang Draught offers a lighter alternative to our classic “Chang Beer” in the mainstream segment. In response to a growing consumer preference for lighter beer, we also continued our brand building of Archa beer, a light beer first introduced to the market in July 2004. In 2006, Archa emerged as one of the fastest growing brands in our beer portfolio, with total sales of over 0.8 MHL, accounting for approximately 9.2% in volume terms of our total beer output. In the effort to maintain our market leadership and to ensure continuity of supply of our beer to meet the growing Thai beer market in the years to come, we commissioned the expansion of our Kamphaengphet brewery by adding additional 4.6 MHL to our production capacity in 2004. In October 2006, we successfully started “test-on-production” of the new machinery. Today, the new 4.6 MHL production line has been completed bringing our total production capacity to 15.5 MHL. Final commissioning of the project is expected to commence in October 2007, after the final calibrations phase are completed to meet ThaiBev’s high quality standards. Spirits Business 2006 was a challenging year for spirits in many ways. The major increase in excise tax on brown spirits in September

on to consumers. Our flagship brown spirits brand, Sangsom, saw a 48% decrease in sales volume in 2006 compared to that in 2005. A prolonged rainy season resulted in a nationwide flood affecting 49 provinces across Thailand, particularly in rural areas, and this weakened our white spirits sales in 2006. In addition, increased efforts by the government on anti-drinking campaigns during Buddhist Lent also had a dampening effect on our sales in the third quarter of 2006.

Nevertheless, we embraced the challenge and continued to invest in the quality of our products and our brands to maintain our leadership position in the market. As the leading producer of quality Thai spirits for many decades, we always put consumers first and consistently aim to produce and deliver the highest quality products to the market. We relaunched “Hong Thong�, a popular Thai brown spirits brand, in April 2006. Hong Thong is a quality Thai spirit blended to the exact high standards and recipe once enjoyed by many loyal consumers. The launch was a great success. Since

its launch in April 2006, Hong Thong sales volume has already reached 1.6 million cases. A unique combination of strong brand, superior product quality, improved packaging, and affordable pricing strategically positions Hong Thong well to meet domestic demand. In addition, we launched a new brand of brown spirits, “Blend 285”, in October 2006. Blend 285 offers consumer superior quality products at affordable price. The product features premium clues such as individual gift box, non-refillable cap (“NRF”), and westernized packaging design. The product is rapidly gaining popularity and sold 184 thousand cases in just two months after initial launch, a success which clearly demonstrates the strength of our distribution platform which enables new products to gain deep market penetration over a short period. We continue to invest in our distilleries to ensure that our production facilities are at their best. In October 2006, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Sura Piset Thiparat, further expanded our production platform and acquired new distillery assets from Sin Surang Karn Sura Co., Ltd., a Thai distillery company engaged in the production of white spirits under the “White Tiger” brand. The distillery, which uses Swedish equipment, is of high-quality and capable of producing both white and brown spirits. The distillery’s strategic location in Kanchanaburi Province, will enable ThaiBev to expand our current brown spirits’ production base in Bangkok to a new geographic region in which our products are gaining popularity. The distillery uses coal for energy, which enables ThaiBev to diversify our production energy sources away from fuel oil, which is becoming increasingly more expensive. The relentless pursuit of perfection in the quality of our products is well reflected in the industry-wide recognition we have received. In addition to winning Gold Medals at the Spain International Quality to Alcohol Beverage in 1982 and 1983, Sangsom, our flagship brown spirit, recently won the Golden Award at the 25th International Golden Award Food & Beverage 2006 event held in Barcelona, Spain on 6 March 2006 Industrial Alcohol Business We acquired our industrial alcohol plant in 2002 to create further integration in our alcohol business. We plan to increase our exports of industrial alcohol products to key markets such as Japan, India and the Philippines. Since September 2004, we have produced ethanol to make gasohol fuel as a substitute for 95 octane gasoline. We have increased our capacity of ethanol production to meet the expected demand for gasohol and capitalize on the Government’s policy on clean energy. In 2006, our sales volume of ethanol was 46.6 million liters compared to 20.8 million liters in 2005. However, our overall sales volume of industrial alcohol in 2006 is slightly less than that of 2005 due to a temporary production halt as a result of unfavorable product margins in the first quarter of 2006.

Related Business As a responsible corporate citizen, we are committed to the environment and energy conservation. We convert a portion of the waste products from our breweries and distilleries into commercial products available for sale, including animal feed, bricks and bio-fertilizers. We sell these products in Thailand and abroad. Our by-product business has reduced the annual amount of pure waste, our breweries and distilleries have to treat and dispose, which correlates to a cost saving on treatment and disposal expenses. In addition, the reduction of pure waste reduces the impact of our business on the environment. In 2006, we continued to invest in our glass bottle recycle terminal project, pursuant to which we completed four terminals in 2004 and 2005, and have three additional terminals scheduled for completion in 2007. The terminals will help increase our efficiency in recycling used glass bottles for beer and white spirits which result in a reduction of packaging costs and helps save the environment. Our extensive distribution network is critical to our success. Although we believe our distribution network is one of the most established and far-reaching networks in Thailand, we see significant opportunities to further improve our Group’s distribution and production platform. As our distribution and production subsidiaries have been under the same holding company since October 2003, we believe we can realize significant cost savings from closer integration between these two business areas. Since the formation of ThaiBev, we have centralized certain group services including procurement, marketing and logistics in order to realize cost savings. We are exploring ways to capture additional cost savings in inventory management and logistics by increasing product handling efficiency and optimizing truck deliveries. In January 2007, we changed the name of our transport company, Sahatipkarnkonsong Co., Ltd., into Thai Beverage Logistics Co., Ltd. to take on full responsibility for the development of and investment in the logistics system and infrastructure for ThaiBev going forward. Overseas Business International Beverage Holdings Limited (“IBHL�) is 100% owned by ThaiBev and oversees our businesses outside Thailand. It is incorporated in Hong Kong and presently has subsidiaries in six countries: 1. InterBev (Singapore) Limited 2. InterBev Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. 3. InterBev (Cambodia) 4. International Beverage Holdings Limited USA, Inc.


66

5. Pacific Spirits (UK) and subsidiaries including Inver House Distillers Limited 6. Best Spirits Company Limited

IBHL is responsible for ThaiBev’s international business. It is engaged in activities such as the production, marketing and distribution of alcoholic beverages including ThaiBev products, Scotch whisky and Chinese wines. IBHL’s vision is to be dominant in ASEAN with a presence in China and a reach to international markets. In 2006, IBHL commenced its trading operations in Singapore, Malaysia and Cambodia. The company also established offices in the USA and UK to sell ThaiBev products. On 31 Oct 06, IBHL acquired Best Spirits Company Limited, an existing trading operation in Hong Kong distributing Chang beer and Chinese wine. At the same time, it acquired the Pacific Spirits (UK) group of companies including Inver House Distillers Limited. Inver House Distillers Limited is a leading firm of Scotch whisky distillers, headquartered in Central Scotland, exporting to over 80 countries worldwide. While the company’s principal business is the distillation and sale of Scotch whisky, the company also produces a range of white spirits and cream liqueurs. Inver House Distillers Limited owns five malt distilleries and markets a number of multi-award winning Single malt Scotch Whiskies: Old Pulteney, Balblair, anCnoc and Speyburn. It also markets a number of Blended Scotch Whisky brands including: Hankey Bannister, Inver House Green Plaid, Catto’s and McArthur’s. Looking forward to 2007, the company will focus on integrating its recent acquisitions with its current operations and establishing routes to markets for the Group’s products internationally. The company will also be seeking suitable acquisition opportunities which could enhance its growing business in the markets where it operates. Management Discussion and Analysis The Company has completed the acquisition of Pacific Spirits (UK) Limited, a holding company which owns and operates five distilleries in Scotland and Best Spirits Company Limited, which engages in the distribution of Chang Beer and third-party Chinese wines in Hong Kong at end of October 2006. The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2005 has been restated to include the assets, liabilities, and operations of both acquired companies to be the same as for the year ended 31 December 2006 for comparison.

Group For the year ended 31 December 2006, total sales revenue of the Company was Baht 97,798 million, increased 3.1% or Baht 2,895 million from Baht 94,903 million in the previous year, mainly due to higher sales revenue from our beer/ water business of about 10.3%, which compensated for lower sales revenue from the spirits business, which was down about 2.6%. Gross profit was Baht 28,473 million, a decrease of Baht 1,242 million or 4.2% mainly due to the decrease in the sales revenue from the spirits business and the higher cost of molasses, while the gross profit margin of our beer/water business was slightly higher.The higher cost of molasses was caused by dry weather in 2005, which caused the sugarcane crop, from which molasses is made, to drop considerably in 2006 and led to higher prices. Heavy rainfall in 2006 should reverse this situation somewhat in 2007. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were Baht 20,598 million, a decrease of Baht 656 million or 3.1% mainly due to the decrease in the spirits business sales volume and gross profit margin while free goods for sales promotion of beer/water business decreased to 8% of total beer and water sales volume. Net profit was Baht 10,055 million, down by Baht 282 million or 2.7% mainly due to the reduction of the spirits business profit while interest expense decreased.

The Beer, Soda & Drinking Water Business Sales revenue was Baht 46,641 million, an increase of Baht 4,364 million or 10.3% mainly due to the increase of low alcohol beer sales volumes. Total sales volume of beer rose 12% to 923 million litres which derived from domestic sales of 916.2 million litres and export sales of 6.8 million litres. Low alcohol beer sales volume was 101.9 million litres, which increased from 2005 by 90.5 million litres. The sales volume of soda was 12.6 million litres and the sales volume of drinking water was 42.6 million litres, a decline of 18.7% and 1.4% respectively. Gross profit of Baht 11,032 million increased by Baht 1,304 million, or 13.4%, mainly due to the increase of sales volume and lower product costs stemming from sharing fixed costs, through higher production volumes and the lower price for malt, compensating for the higher cost of fuel oil and electricity.


70


71

EBITDA of Baht 6,195 million increased by Baht 1,357 million or 28% mainly due to the increase of sales and gross profit margin and the decrease in the marketing expense for free goods for sales promotion which helped to cover higher employee expenses, freight and vehicle expenses. The free beer volume for sales promotion as a percentage of total sales volume decreased from 11.8% on average in 2005 to 8% in 2006. Net Profit of Baht 1,968 million increased by Baht 765 million or 63.6% mainly due to the increase of sales as mentioned and the decrease of interest expense caused by the reduction in the Company’s debt when it repaid short-term loans using the IPO proceeds. The Spirits Business Sales revenue was Baht 51,428 million, lower than in 2005 by Baht 1,383 million or 2.6% mainly due to a decrease in the sales volume of both white and brown spirits. The Company was severely affected in 2006 by the increase on excise tax on certain types of brown spirits in September 2005. When stock of Sangsom, the Company’s flagship brand, was depleted at the end of 2005, the price of a bottle rose from Baht 150 to Baht 190 leading to a sharp drop in sales. Sangsom is over 40% of the entire brown spirit market in Thailand. Although foreign brands were affected to the same


72

extent, the Company will take some time to recover. To overcome this problem, the Company re-launched a brand called Hong Thong in April 2006. While this has seen remarkable progress, it has still not compensated for the loss of sales of Sangsom by the end of 2006. However, Sangsom is seeing some recovery. The Company also launched a new brown spirit called Blend 285 in October 2006. This was well-accepted by consumers and, if current growth continues, it will become a significant contributor to the recovery of the brown spirits business over time. Total sales volume of spirits dropped 5.9% to 457.1 million litres which derived from domestic sales of 456.4 million litres and export sales of 0.7 million litres. White spirits sales volume of 367.5 million litres showed a decrease of 1.3%. Brown spirits sales volume of 89.6 million litres showed a decrease of 20.7% due to the abovementioned lower demand arising from the sales price increase that resulted from the increase in excise tax. Gross profit of Baht 18,426 million decreased by Baht 2,323 million or 11.2%, mainly due to the decrease of sales volume and the higher price of molasses (a raw material used in the production), fuel oil and electricity. The outlook for molasses in 2007 is for higher production due to better crops resulting from heavy rainfall in 2006. This should lead to lower costs to the Company. EBITDA of Baht 13,663 million decreased by Baht 2,159 million or 13.6%, mainly due to the decrease of sales and gross profit margin and higher employee expense, freight and vehicle expenses. Free brown spirits’ volume used for sales


73

promotion as a percentage of domestic sales volume of brown spirits increased from 2.1% by average in 2005 to 2.7% in 2006. Net Profit of Baht 7,916 million decreased by Baht 1,072 million, or 11.9%, mainly due to the decrease of sales and gross profit margin as mentioned although the decrease of interest expense. Industrial Alcohol Business Segment Sales revenue was Baht 1,205 million reflected an increase of Baht 336 million or 38.7%, mainly due to the increase of Ethanol sales volume, which helped to partially compensate for the decrease of Alcohol 95 sales volume. Sales volume of Ethanol was 46.6 million litres, which increased by 124.1% and the average sales price was Baht 24.94 per litre, which increased by 42.3% over that of 2005. Overall sales volume for all industrial alcohol products in 2006 was 48.3 million litres, or a 9.3% decrease from 53.2 million litres in 2005. Gross profit of Baht 210 million decreased by Baht 188 million, or 47.2%, mainly due to high product cost arising from higher molasses prices and energy costs. EBITDA of Baht 163 million decreased by Baht 203 million or 55.5% mainly due to the decrease of gross profit margin and higher administration expenses arising from higher employee expense.


74

Net Loss was Baht 22 million while net profit for 2005 was Baht 151 million, a change of 114.6% mainly due to the decrease of gross profit margin as mentioned and the increase of interest expense. Related Business Segment Sales revenue was Baht 7,155 million increased by Baht 522 million or 7.9% mainly due to income from commercials during the live broadcast of the FIFA World Cup 2006 in Q2, other sports marketing activities and inter-segment supply of raw materials and packaging materials. Gross profit of Baht 790 million increased by Baht 225 million, or 39.8%, mainly due to the increase of sales and effective cost control. EBITDA of Baht 604 million increased by Baht 371 million or 159.2% mainly due to the increase of sales and gross profit margin. Net Profit was Baht 216 million while net loss for 2005 was Baht 1 million mainly due to the increase of sales and gross profit margin as mentioned and the decrease of interest expense. Financial Position Assets Total assets as at end of December 2006 was Baht 85,580 million, a decrease of Baht 1,558 million, or 1.8%, compared with the end of 2005. Current assets decreased


75

by Baht 2,814 million, mainly due to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents, prepaid excise tax, and finished goods. Non-current assets increased by Baht 1,256 million, mainly due to advance payment of royalties to spirits experts. Liabilities Total liabilities as at end of December 2006 was Baht 33,026 million decreased by Baht 22,397 million, or 40.4%, mainly due to the re-payment of loans from financial institutions with cash received from the May 2006 Initial Public Offering (IPO) and the July 2006 sale of over-allotment shares.

Risk Factors ThaiBev has instituted systematic risk management for departments up to the corporate level, with a risk management committee in place at each level. At the corporate level, the Corporate Risk Management Committee, consisting of Directors and Senior Management, is responsible for risk management throughout the Company. ThaiBev has defined risk management as an integral part of planning and operations. To elaborate, each department must formulate annual plans and budgets, comprehensively addressing their risks. These risks are then collated for the Corporate Risk Management Committee to define policies and periodically monitor risk management practices. At the department level, ThaiBev asks department heads to regularly assess risks, identify risk management measures, and update their work to the respective risk management committees. In addition, the Office of Internal Audit applies these identified risk factors to their annual audit plans to assess the efficiency of risk management of each department. Risks Related to Company Business 1. An increase in taxes or a change in the method in which taxes are calculated may affect the demand for our products, and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We pay excise taxes as well as municipal taxes and health promotion fund contributions on the alcoholic beverages we produce. Increases in existing taxes or the imposition of new taxes on beer and spirits products could result in higher


79

prices for consumers, which could, in turn, result in lower levels of consumption and, therefore, lower revenue from sales. We may also have to absorb all or a portion of the impact. Each of these scenarios could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. 2. Our growth prospects may be harmed if we are unable to expand into the premium segments of the beer and

spirits markets. A key element of our strategy is to broaden our portfolio of brands by launching new brands to penetrate the premium segments of the market in order to increase our revenues. We believe that the premium market segments in Thailand for both beer and spirits offer significant growth potential and we believe that there has been a shift from economy segment beers and spirits to these segments. Expanding our presence into these highly competitive segments will require us to invest significantly in consumer marketing, brand promotion and sales and distribution development. We have limited experience in these segments. Any failure or inability on our part to successfully develop, promote and sell new beer or spirits brands for the standard or premium segments in Thailand would harm our prospects for growth, particularly if demand for these products increase and continues to erode the demand for our current portfolio of products, and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We expect that the Kamphaengphet brewery expansion project will be completed in October 2007 and that it will increase our total brewery capacity by 4,600 thousand hectoliters per annum to approximately 15,500 thousand hectoliters per annum. Our business strategy includes selling beer produced from our capacity increase in export


80

markets, principally in Cambodia, Laos and other markets. We do not, however, have a history of sustained sales of large volumes outside Thailand and we cannot assure you we will be successful in implementing this strategy. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell the additional beer we produce as a result of our expansion project. Our fixed costs will increase significantly as a result of this expansion and we may not be able to sell our beer products at prices that will provide us with commercially acceptable margins or that will not cause us to incur a loss. If we are unable to sell our additional beer capacity on a commercially acceptable basis, we may have to reduce our beer production, which would adversely affect the utilization of our breweries and may lower our margins. Any failure or inability on our part to sell the additional beer we produce would adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. 3. Price increases in, and shortages of, raw materials or packaging materials could increase our production costs

and disrupt our business. We do not produce most of the raw materials or the packaging materials necessary for production and sale of our products and depend upon third-party suppliers. Although we seek to purchase certain of these raw materials once a year in advance of production, we cannot assure you that these suppliers will be able to meet our requirements in full or at all. Our results of operations may be affected by the availability and pricing of raw materials and packaging materials, including molasses, malt, hops, water, glass bottles, labels, caps, and other packaging products. Some of these materials are priced in currencies other than in Baht. Changes in global supply and demand may substantially affect the price of these materials and may also, along with weather conditions, government controls, exchange rates, currency controls and other factors, affect our cost of raw materials and packaging materials. A substantial increase in the prices of these materials would increase our production costs, which would reduce our profit margins if we were unable to recover these additional production costs from our consumers. In addition, a sustained interruption in the supply of these materials could lead to a significant increase in their prices or could impede our production processes if we were unable to find suitable substitutes. The occurrence of any of these factors could increase our production costs and disrupt our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, results of operations and prospects. 4. Our operations are subject to extensive regulation. Changes in the regulatory environment may cause us to incur

additional costs or limit our business activities. As a producer of beverage products, we are subject to production, packaging, quality, labeling and distribution standards


81

in Thailand. We are also subject to regulations in countries to which we export our products, in particular regulations relating to packaging, quality, labeling and distribution. The operations of our production and distribution facilities are subject to various Governmental environmental laws and workplace regulations, including laws and regulations enacted by the Ministry of Public Health, Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Finance. Compliance with, or any violation of, current and future laws or regulations could require material expenditures by us or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We are subject to restrictions on advertising our beer and spirits products. These restrictions could affect our ability to market our existing and future products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Any future restriction on the period of time an entertainment venue is permitted to operate and sell alcohol products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. 5. Compliance with, or our failure to comply with, environmental laws and regulations applicable to us may have a

material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We are subject to extensive and increasingly stringent environmental, health and safety laws and regulations governing air pollutant emissions, discharge of treated wastewater and other aspects of our operations. In addition, some of these laws and regulations require our production facilities to operate under permits that are subject to renewal or modifications. Typically, these laws provide for substantial fines and potential criminal sanctions for violations. Violations of these laws could also result in permit revocations and facility shutdowns. Several of these laws and regulations also impose extensive requirements relating to investigation and cleanup of contamination, and we may be required to bear some or all of these costs regardless of fault. We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur costs to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. In addition, new laws and regulations, stricter enforcement of, or changes to, existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new clean-up requirements could require us to incur additional costs in the future. These may require us to incur material costs and expenses beyond those currently anticipated. Any of the foregoing factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.


82

6. Our business and our expansion plans are capital-intensive and subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.

The beer industry is capital-intensive. Our ability to introduce new products and maintain our production capability depends on continued capital spending, including constructing our new facilities and maintaining and upgrading our existing facilities. In addition, we continually monitor developments in the beverage markets in Thailand and Southeast Asia for opportunities to expand into new businesses.

Historically, we have relied on external debt financing, equity financing and internally generated cash flows for our capital investments. We expect to finance any future expansions of our business or improvements of our breweries and distilleries plant through additional indebtedness and internally generated cash flows. If we are unable to obtain additional debt financing when needed on commercially acceptable terms, we may require additional equity financing, which could dilute your investment in our shares. In addition, our inability to secure necessary financing for capital expenditures necessary to maintain or expand our facilities could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. 7. We depend on the services of our senior executives and managerial personnel, and if we are not able to retain our

senior personnel or attract suitable replacements, our business could be negative impacted. We are currently managed by a small number of senior executive officers and employees, many of whom have many years of experience at our operating companies and in the beverage industry and would be difficult to replace. As a result, the loss of some senior personnel, or our inability to recruit sufficiently qualified personnel, could materially adversely affect our business.

We believe that our continued growth and success largely depends on our ability to retain skilled, qualified and experienced managerial, sales, marketing and production personnel and to train our staff to produce and to sell successfully the products that we offer. If we are unable to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled, qualified and experienced personnel, we could lose customers and suffer reduced profitability. Even if we are successful in attracting and retaining such personnel, competition for such employees may significantly increase our compensation costs and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.


83

8. Anti-monopoly legislation enacted by Thailand in 1999 may adversely affect our business, financial condition,

results of operations and prospects. The Thai Trade Competition Act of 1999 (‘TCA’) prohibits various anti-competitive practices and empowers the Thai Trade Competition Commission (‘TTCC’) to order a company that dominates a market to suspend, cease, or vary its market share. In addition, under the TCA, the TTCC has the power to issue written orders to require a company that has engaged in unfair business practices to suspend, cease, rectify or vary its business practices. The government is considering the standard for determining the definition of market dominance in a particular industry, to be approved by the Cabinet. Because we are the largest beer and spirits producer in Thailand and have a leading market share in Thailand for many of our products, we may, from time to time, be subject to litigation from competitors and others for alleged violations of these provisions. Consequently, the TCA and any regulations promulgated under it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In 2006, the Risk Management Committee completed its plan for managing the above-mentioned risks, thereby lowering risk levels, including the forward purchase of molasses, malt and hops, together with adequate and suitable inventories; additional measures for managing packaging, glass bottles, labels and caps through collaboration with business partners in demand-supply management; and the digging of pools and investment in the brewery’s water system – thereby lowering production costs from those of using ground water, and at the same time, managing the risk of the authority’s possible ban on the use of ground water as well as preventing shortage of water. The Risk Management Committee will hold at least four meetings each year to review its measures and approve contingency budgets for risk management to ensure that all risks are responsibly managed and plans meticulously implemented – thereby alleviating potential losses.

Credit Rating Announcement Annual Report 2006 - Thai Beverage Public Company Limited

AAStable

87

TRIS upgraded the Company rating from A+ to and gave a

outlook

In early 2006, the Company had a plan to locally raise funds and engaged TRIS Rating Co., Ltd (“TRIS”) to determine our domestic credit rating. TRIS initially rated the Company A+ and gave a “Stable” outlook. Later on, the Company raised funds by offering debentures at the amount of Baht 10,000 million. At the annual review, the Company gained debentures outstanding at Baht 7,500 million. TRIS, therefore, upgraded the Company and its senior guaranteed debentures rating of the Company to “AA-” from “A+” and gave the company a “Stable” outlook. The upgrade reflects the Company’s strengthened capital structure after an initial public offering (IPO) in May 2006. Almost all the proceeds were used to repay the Company’s outstanding debt at the time. To gain an international credit rating in order to establish Company’s overseas credit flexibility in the financial markets, the Company engaged Standard and Poors (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service Pty Limited (“Moody’s”), both well-recognized globally in their field. S&P assigned a “BBB” rating with a “Stable” outlook, and Moody’s rated the Company “Baa2” again with a “Stable” outlook. (Note: The Thailand Country Rating from TRIS is “AAA”, “BBB+” from S&P and “Baa1” by Moody’s).

Normally the Executive Board meets once a month to oversee business operations, or more than once to consider and approve any important or urgent matter. The Board also appoints executive members to hold directorships in subsidiaries to monitor the Company’s interests. The Executive Board’s responsibilities are to: • prepare and propose business plans, targets, operational plans, business strategies and annual budgets for the Board of Directors; • determine business plans, budgets and management authorizations for approval; • monitor the operations of the Group, that they are in line with business plans, targets, operational plans, business strategies, budgets and management authorizations approved by our Board to facilitate corporate efficiency and appropriate to business conditions; • propose investments, borrowing or lending, including acting as a guarantor if that is in line with the normal business of the Group; • approve payments as determined by our Board; • determine the organization and management structure of the Group for the Board;

The Company Secretary, in consultation and cooperation with the Office of Legal Affairs, is responsible for advising the Board, through the Chairman, on all governance matters. This is to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Board approves the appointment and the removal of the Company Secretary. This year the Company Secretary attended all Board meetings and Executive Board meetings. Procedure for Developing Remuneration Policies Principle 7 The RC reviews matters concerning the remuneration of Board members, Presidents, Executive Vice Presidents and Assistant Vice Presidents in consultation with the Chairman of the Board If a member of the RC has an interest in a matter deliberated by the Committee, he or she will abstain from participating in the review and approval process for that matter.

* Started in December 2006 (Remark: 1 S$ = Baht 24) Accountability Principle 10 The Board is responsible for providing a balanced and understandable assessment of the Company’s performance, and for providing shareholders with quarterly and annual financial reports. The financial statements for the first three quarters are released to shareholders within 45 days of the end of each quarter. The annual result is released within 60 days of the end of each financial year. Audit Committee Principle 11 The Board appointed an AC, which consists of four independent directors: three Thais and one Singaporean. Their responsibilities are clearly set forth in the Audit Committee Charter, for instance, assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal controls, preparing the process of financial statements and information disclosures and reviewing the compliance with applicable laws, regulations and rules of the Stock Exchange of Thailand and the Singapore Exchange. This includes internal investigations and consideration of Interested Persons Transactions to prevent an occurrence of conflict of interests. Internal Controls Principle 12 Our Board values a sound management internal control system. To safeguard shareholders’ investments and the Company’s assets, it appointed an Executive Board, each member of which oversees different departments and business units to ensure the adequacy of financial, operational and compliance controls, including risk management policies.


101

In support of this, the Board also assigned the Office of Corporate Secretariat to oversee compliance with the law and regulations concerning public companies. Based on the information provided to it, the AC believes that the system of internal controls and risk management is adequate. Internal Audit Principle 13 The Company established the Office of Internal Audit to assist the Board through Audit Committee in promoting sound risk management and good corporate governance by assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal controls for key businesses and operations in areas described in the audit plan. Annual audit schedules ensure that the performance of internal audit is accurate. Communication with Shareholders Principle 14 The Company has adopted the practice of timely disclosure, in part by establishing an Investor Relations Unit, headed by Mr. Richard W. Jones, who has more than 10 years’ experience in this area. The unit arranges quarterly briefings following the disclosure of interim and full year results, so that investors may query management about financial, marketing or strategic issues. Between reporting periods, the unit regularly meets with investors to communicate the policies and strategies of the Company so that investors have a good understanding of them. Investor Relations provides timely detailed information via the corporate website. The unit also reports to management about investors’ comments and concerns. Contact information for the Investor Relations Unit appears in this annual report or on the investor relations section of the corporate website http://www.thaibev.com/set/investor.html.


Corporate Social Responsibility Report 102

Annual Report - Thai Beverage Public Company Limited

In the belief that it is our duty to play an active role in national development, to better our society, and to assist those in need, Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (“ThaiBev”) has a long history of contribution to projects and activities to display our loyalty to the monarchy and improve society, education, sports, public health, safety, and dissemination of a good reputation for Thailand.

I have audited the accompanying consolidated and separate balance sheets as at 31 December 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries, and of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited, respectively. The Company’s management is responsible for the correctness and completeness of information presented in these financial statements. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits. I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, the consolidated and separate financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions as at 31 December 2006 and 2005 and the results of operations and cash flows for the years then ended of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries, and of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited, respectively, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Disclosure of significant differences between generally accepted accounting principles in Thailand and International Financial Reporting Standards is not a required part of the basic financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles in Thailand, but it is presented in Note 33 to the notes to financial statements for information purposes only. I have not audited or reviewed such information and therefore do not express any audit opinion or review report thereon.

2. Basis of preparation of the financial statements The financial statements issued for Thai reporting purposes are prepared in the Thai language. This English translation of the financial statements has been prepared for the convenience of readers not conversant with the Thai language. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Thai Accounting Standards (“TAS”) including related interpretations and guidelines promulgated by the Federation of Accounting Professions (“FAP”) and with generally accepted accounting principles in Thailand. The financial statements are presented in Thai Baht, rounded in the notes to the financial statements to the nearest million, unless otherwise stated. They are prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following assets which are stated at fair value: land and investments in available-for-sale securities. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with TAS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods. 3. Significant accounting policies (a) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements relate to the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interest in associates. Significant intra-group transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are those companies controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of a company so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

Associates Associates are those companies in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the total recognised gains and losses of associates on an equity accounted basis, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the Group’s carrying amount is

121


122

reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Business combinations Business combinations involving businesses under common control have been accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, whereby the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities transferred have been accounted for at book values. Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. (b) Foreign currencies Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Thai Baht at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to Thai Baht at the foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the statement of income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at cost in foreign currencies are translated to Thai Baht using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Foreign entities The assets and liabilities of foreign entities are translated to Thai Baht at the average foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The revenues and expenses of foreign entities are translated to Thai Baht at rates approximating the average foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in a separate component of equity until disposal of the investments. (c) Derivative financial instruments Forward exchange contracts are treated as off-balance sheet items. (d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, call deposits and highly liquid short-term investments. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand are a component of financing activities for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. (e) Trade and other accounts receivable Trade and other accounts receivables (including balances with related parties) are stated at their invoice value less allowance for doubtful accounts.


The allowance for doubtful accounts is assessed primarily on analysis of payment histories and future expectations of customer payments. Bad debts are written off when incurred. (f) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw material, packaging materials, work in progress and finished goods is calculated using the weighted average cost formula and comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-progress, cost includes an appropriate share of overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs to complete and to make the sale. (g) Investments Investments in subsidiaries and associates Investments in subsidiaries in the separate financial statements of the Company are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in associates in the consolidated financial statements of the Company are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in other equity securities Marketable equity securities are classified as being available-for-sale and are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss being recognised directly in equity. The exceptions are impairment losses, which are recognised in the statement of income. Equity securities which are not marketable are stated at cost less impairment losses. The fair value of financial instruments classified as available-for-sale is determined as the quoted bid price at the balance sheet date. Disposal of investments On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount together with the associated cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is recognised in the statement of income. (h) Property, plant and equipment Owned assets Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses except for land, which is stated at its revalued amount. The revalued amount is the fair value.

123


124

Property that is being constructed or developed for future use is classified as property, plant and equipment and stated at cost until construction or development is complete. Leased assets Leases in terms of which the Group substantially assumes all the risk and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Property, plant and equipment acquired by way of finance leases is capitalised at the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly to the statement of income. Revalued assets Revaluations are performed by independent professional valuers with sufficient regularity. The Group’s policy requires an appraisal to be conducted every three to five years or when there are factors that might materially impact the value of the land, to ensure that the carrying amount of these assets does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair values at the balance sheet date. Any increase in value, on revaluation, is credited to equity under the heading “revaluation surplus� unless it offsets a previous decrease in value recognised in the statement of income in respect of the same asset. A decrease in value is recognised in the statement of income to the extent it exceeds an increase previously recognised in equity in respect of the same asset. Upon disposal of a revalued asset, any related revaluation surplus is transferred from equity to retained earnings and is not taken into account in calculating the gain or loss on disposal.

Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure relating to an item of property, plant and equipment is added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that the future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Group. All other subsequent expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Depreciation Depreciation is charged to the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Land improvement 5-20 years Building and structures 5-40 years Building improvements 5-20 years Machinery and equipment 4-40 years Oak barrels 10-20 years Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 3-10 years Vehicles 5-10 years


No depreciation is provided on freehold land and assets under construction. (i) Intangible assets Goodwill Goodwill in a business combination represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment loss. Other intangible assets Intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation Amortisation is charged to the statement of income on a straight-line and unit of production basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Intangible assets are amortised from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Trademark 10 years (straight-line method) Computer software 3-10 years (straight-line method) Broadcasting rights 4 years (unit of production method) Leasehold Lease term (straight-line method) Goodwill 20 years (straight-line method) (j) Impairment The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income unless it reverses a previous revaluation credited to equity, in which case it is charged to equity. (k) Interest-bearing liabilities Interest-bearing liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction charges. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing liabilities are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the statement of income over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis. (l) Trade and other accounts payable Trade and other accounts payable (including balances with related parties) are stated at cost.

125


126

(m) Provisions A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. (n) Difference arising from common control transactions Difference arising from common control transactions relates to the restructuring of businesses under the common control of the ultimate majority shareholder of the Company and arises from the difference between the cost of the combination and the carrying amounts of net identifiable assets at the date of combination (except for businesses acquired that are not under common control, net identifiable assets are measured at the fair value). The Company recognises the difference arising from common control transactions under shareholders’ equity until disposal of the investment. (o) Revenue Revenue excludes value added taxes or other sales taxes and is arrived at after deduction of trade discounts. Sale of goods and services rendered Revenue is recognised in the statement of income when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. No revenue is recognised if there is continuing management involvement with the goods or there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs, or the probable return of goods. Service income is recognised as services are provided. When the outcome of a contract for the rendering of services can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised in the statement of income by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the balance sheet date. When the outcome of the contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.

Construction contracts When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and expenses are recognised in the statement of income by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the balance sheet date. The stage of completion is assessed the percentage of completion method, which is measured by the project engineer. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised immediately as an expense in the statement of income. Interest and dividend income Interest income is recognised in the statement of income as it accrues. Dividend income is recognised in the statement of income on the date the Company’s / the Group’s right to receive payments is established which in the case of quoted securities is usually the ex-dividend date.


(p) Expenses Operating leases Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the statement of income on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the statement of income as an integral part of the total lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to the statement of income in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

Finance costs Interest expenses and similar costs are charged to the statement of income in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to be prepared for its intended use or sale. The interest component of finance lease payments is recognised in the statement of income using the effective interest rate method. Research and development Research and development costs, including costs of developing new drinks products and package design is expensed in the period in which it is incurred. Other income and expenses are recognised on an accrual basis. (q) Income tax Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. 4. Business restructuring The Company was formed in 2003 to combine the separate beverages businesses of the ultimate controlling shareholder group, the Siriwadhanabhakdi family, which were held as part of the operations of 89 separate companies, into a single group of companies. Of these, 65 businesses were transferred between 2003 and 2004, four businesses were transferred during 2005 and 20 businesses were transferred during 2006. Prior to the restructuring these business were under the common control of the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company. As the same ultimate controlling shareholder controlled the businesses and operations transferred to the Company both before and after the recent restructuring, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a business combination involving entities and businesses under common control. Accordingly, the transfer of businesses and operations has been accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests and the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities transferred have been accounted for at book values. The difference between the cost of the combination and the carrying amounts of net identifiable assets at the date of combination (except for businesses acquired that were not under common control, whereby net identifiable assets were measured at their fair value) was recorded as “Difference arising from common control transactions�, which is shown as a reduction in shareholders’ equity.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, those assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that are clearly applicable to the businesses and operations transferred are included in the consolidated financial statements and are stated at their carrying values, after adjusting for intercompany transactions and transactions with the ultimate controlling shareholder. Expenses for which the specific identification method was not practical have been allocated on a percentage of sales basis. Management believes that this is a reasonable basis of estimating what the expenses would have been on a standalone basis. In 2005, the Group entered into four transfer transactions involving entities under common control, namely the transfer of Cosmos Brewery (Thailand) Co., Ltd., T.C.C. Cosmo Corporation Ltd., Beer Chang Co., Ltd. and Archa Beer Co., Ltd. from the ultimate controlling shareholder, who controlled the businesses and operations of the four companies transferred to the Group both before and after the transfer. Accordingly, the transfer of businesses and operations has been accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, as previously applied to similar transactions in 2003. As such, the Company has prepared the consolidated financial statements as if the transfers were completed at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The result of the transfer was an increase in “Difference arising from common control transactions” of Baht 6,326.65 million. This represents the difference between consideration of Baht 9,646 million paid to the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Group and the carrying amounts of net identifiable assets of the four companies at the date of the transfer of Baht 3,319.35 million. Subsequently, in 2006, a further 20 entities were transferred to the Group in transactions involving entities under common control, namely Pacific Spirits (UK) Limited (consisting of 15 subsidiaries and 3 associates) and Best Spirits Company Limited. The result of the transfer was an increase in “Difference arising from common control transactions” of Baht 1,162.14 million. This represents the difference between consideration of Baht 1,505.24 million paid to the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Group and the carrying amounts of net identifiable assets of the two companies at the date of the transfer of Baht 343.10 million. During the year 2006 and 2005, prior to being transferred to the Company, certain businesses, now subsidiaries of the Company, increased their share capital in the amount of Baht 27.04 million and Baht 46.59 million, respectively. The currency translation change reserves of those subsidiaries amounted to Baht 8.54 million and Baht 17.69 million, respectively. The profits (losses) of such entities transferred prior to restructuring amounted to Baht (23.87) million and Baht 204.47 million, respectively.

Restatement The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2005 have been restated as a result of 20 transactions involving entities under common control, which occurred in 2006 and were accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interest method. The effects of the restatement on the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2005 and the consolidated statement of income for the year ended 31 December 2005 are summarised as follows:

Directly attributable expenses for the IPO amounting to Baht 676.49 million are accounted for as a deduction from the premium on share capital received from the IPO. The Company registered the change in paid-up capital with the Ministry of Commerce on 29 May 2006 from Baht 22,000 million to Baht 24,444.45 million.

Reserves Share premium Section 51 of the Public Companies Act B.E. 2535 requires companies to set aside share subscription monies received in excess of the par value of the shares issued to a reserve account (“share premium”). Share premium is not available for dividend distribution. Currency translation changes Currency translation changes consisted of foreign exchange differences arising from translation of the financial statements of foreign operations to Thai Baht. Fair value changes and revaluation surpluses Fair value changes Fair value changes recognised in shareholders’ equity relate to cumulative net changes in the fair value of available-for-sale equity securities. Revaluation surpluses During 2003 and 2004, the Group revalued all land held. Revaluations of land are carried out by independent professional valuers on an open market basis. The revaluations were originally based on valuations reported by the independent professional valuers in 2003 and 2004. In September 2005, the valuers updated the valuations, which have been recognised as adjusting events occurring after the balance sheet date. As a result of the updated revaluations a surplus of Baht 6,453.34 million was recognised as a revaluation surplus in 2003 as a component of shareholders’ equity, a surplus of Baht 246.38 million was recognized in 2004, and a surplus of Baht 134.83 million was reversed in 2005. In addition, in 2005, a subsidiary company obtained a revaluation of its land from independent professional valuers and a surplus of Baht 20.35 million was recognised in the 2005 financial statements. Subsequently, in 2006, a subsidiary company obtained a revaluation of its land from independent professional valuers and recognised a revaluation surplus in the amount of Baht 3.16 million. The other subsidiary company sold its land which has been revalued and recognised a revaluation surplus, and adjusted in a reduction in the revaluation surplus in the amount of Baht 1.63 million.


Legal reserve Section 116 of the Public Companies Act B.E. 2535 requires that a company shall allocate not less than 5% of its annual net profit, less any accumulated losses brought forward, to a reserve account (“legal reserve�), until this account reaches an amount not less than 10% of the registered authorised capital. The legal reserve is not available for dividend distribution. 20. Segmental information Segment information is presented in respect of both business and geographical segments. The primary format, business segments, is based on the Group’s management and internal reporting structure. Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. In preparing segmental information, those liabilities and related interest expense that are not specifically attributable to a particular segment are allocated on a percentage of net assets basis. Management believes this to be a fair indication of the actual use of the liabilities. Inter-segment transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Business segments The Group comprises the following main business segments: Beer/water Production and sales of branded beer and water products (mostly outside the group); Spirits Production and sales of branded spirits products (mostly outside the group); Alcohol Production and sales of alcohol (mostly outside the group); and Related Purchasing of packaging materials and sale of byproducts (mostly within the group). Geographical segments Operating units of the Group are mainly located in Thailand. Portions of product produced from these units are exported directly or indirectly through foreign subsidiaries to external customers. Certain operating units of subsidiaries are located in foreign countries. In presenting information on the basis of geographical segments, segment revenue is based on the geographical location of customers. Segment assets are based on the geographical location of the assets.

25. Promotional privileges Promotional privileges from the Board of Investment By virtue of the provisions of the Industrial Investment Promotion Act of B.E. 2520, a subsidiary has been granted privileges by the Board of Investment relating to the production of alcohol and agricultural fuel. The privileges granted include: (a) exemption from payment of import duty on approved machinery. (b) exemption from payment of income tax for a period of eight years from the dates on which the income is first derived from such operations. In the event the subsidiary incurs a loss during this eight year period, the subsidiary can carry these losses forward to deduct against any future profits for a period of five years. (c) exemption from income tax on dividends derived from the promoted business of its subsidiary during this eight year period. As a promoted company, the subsidiary must comply with certain conditions and restrictions provided for in the promotional certificate. Privileges granted to business operator in Free Zone Also in 2004 another subsidiary was granted approval from the Customs Department to operate in a “Free Zone�, whereby the subsidiary obtains privileges related to the payment of import and export taxes, valued added tax and excise tax. Various other privileges are also granted. 26. Dividends At the Annual General Meeting of the shareholders of the Company held on 27 March 2006, the shareholders approved the appropriation of dividends of Baht 0.24 per share, amounting to Baht 5,280 million, from the net profit of 2005. The dividend was paid to shareholders on 26 April 2006. At the Board of Directors Meeting of the Company held on 10 August 2006, the meeting approved the appropriation of interim dividends of Baht 0.11 per share, amounting to Baht 2,762.10 million, from the first half of 2006. The interim dividend was paid to shareholders on 8 September 2006. 27. Financial instruments Financial risk management and policies The Group is exposed to normal business risks from changes in market interest rates and currency exchange rates and from non-performance of contractual obligations by counterparties. The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that future movements in market interest rates will affect the results of the Group’s operations and its cash flows because loan interest rates are mainly fixed. The Group is primarily exposed to interest rate risk from its borrowings (Note 15). The Group mitigates this risk by ensuring that the majority of its borrowings are at fixed interest rates.

Foreign currency risk The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk relating to purchases and sales which are denominated in foreign currencies.

159


160

The Group primarily utilises forward exchange contracts with maturities of less than one year to hedge such financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The forward exchange contracts entered into at the balance sheet date also relate to anticipated purchases and sales, denominated in foreign currencies, for the subsequent period. The table below provides an indication of the Group’s foreign currency positions as at 31 December, relating to the Group’s exposure and forward exchange contracts used to hedge against the exposure as a result of the Group’s policy.

Credit risk Credit risk is the potential financial loss resulting from the failure of a customer or a counterparty to settle its financial and contractual obligations to the Group as and when they fall due. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. At the balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet. However, due to the large number of parties comprising the Group’s customer base, management does not anticipate material losses from its debt collection. Liquidity risk The Group monitors its liquidity risk and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. Fair values The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. In determining the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities, the Group takes into account its current circumstances and the costs that would be incurred to exchange or settle the underlying financial instrument. 28.

Further to the above, the Group has the following additional commitments as at 31 December 2006 are as follows: In Million In Million In Million In Million In Million GBP Baht US$ AUD Euro Raw material purchasing agreements (Malt & Hop) - 44.12 - 9.39 6.24 Molasses purchasing agreements 1,727.81 - - - - Computer system installation agreements 309.13 - - - - Advertising and sponsorship agreements 122.52 - - - - Consulting and supervising service agreement for beer production 31.68 - - - - Other service agreements 32.43 0.14 - - - Raw material sale agreements 6.66 - - - - (a) During 2004, the Company and four subsidiaries entered into production and blending control agreements with a specialist for a period of 40 years from 1 August 2004 to 1 August 2044. Under the agreements, the Company and its subsidiaries are obliged to pay monthly service fees of Baht 4.3 million which are to be annually increased by 5% for the first 20 years from August 1, 2004 to August 1, 2024. Afterwards, the Company has to pay monthly service fees of Baht 250,000 until the expiration of the agreements. Service fee under the agreements totaled Baht 1,766.20 million. As at 31 December 2006 the remaining commitments to be paid, relating to these agreements, amounted to Baht 1,636.72 million. Subsequently, on 30 December 2005, the Company and the four subsidiaries entered into an addendum to the original agreements described above. The addendum became effective on 1 January 2006 whereby the Company paid Baht 375 million and the four subsidiaries paid a total of Baht 1,625 million as consideration to the specialist in January 2006 to exclusively secure his services. Under the addendum, the Company and the four subsidiaries concerned are entitled to seek damages, not exceeding Baht 2,000 million, for any intentional breach that the specialist fails to remedy, including non-performance of his contractual duties. Therefore, the total service fees under the agreements both outstanding and already paid by the Company and its subsidiaries amounted to Baht 3,766.20 million. (b) During 2005, a subsidiary renewed a sponsorship agreement with Everton Football Club, in the United Kingdom, for a period of three years as from 1 June 2005 to 31 May 2008 in order to promote the Group’s businesses globally. Under the agreement, the subsidiary is obliged to pay a minimum amount of £0.50 million and a maximum amount of £2.9 million per year, dependent on the performance of Everton football team in each year. 29. Litigation Since 2002 up to 2006, a subsidiary’s property tax assessment totaled Baht 167.82 million, recognised as expenses of Baht 16.50 million and other current assets of Baht 151.32 million. However, the subsidiary filed an application to the Central Tax Court to withdraw the assessment of the property tax (amount recognised as other current assets). During 2004 and 2006, the Central Tax Court ruled that the subsidiary should pay additional property taxes amounting to Baht 18.10 million. These additional taxes have been paid by the subsidiary and recognised as an expense.


The subsidiary has appealed and the case is currently being considered by the Central Tax Court and the Supreme Court. The management of the subsidiary and their attorney believe that the likelihood of winning is high. 30. Events after the balance sheet date Significant events after the balance sheet date were as follows: (a) The Executive Board of Directors’ Meeting No. 1/2007 held on 23 January 2007 unanimously approved the Company to utilise the long-term loan facilities from a commercial bank in the amount of Baht 4,500 million in order to increase the capital of International Beverage Holdings Limited in the amount of HK Dollar 980 million. (b) The Board of Directors’ Meeting No. 1/2007 held on 9 February 2007 unanimously approved to sell land and building of ThaiBev Tower Project to T.C.C. Hotel Collection Company Limited, a related party, in the amount of Baht 819 million with a gain on sale of Baht 131.86 million. (c) The Board of Directors’ Meeting No. 2/2007 held on 27 February 2007 unanimously agreed to propose a dividend payment of Baht 0.22 per share, totalling Baht 5,524.20 million. The interim dividend was paid of Baht 0.11 per share, amounting to Baht 2,762.10 million. The remaining is a dividend payment of Baht 0.11 per share, amounting to Baht 2,762.10 million (d) The Executive Board of Directors’ Meeting No. 4/2007 held on 27 February 2007 unanimously passed for the following solutions : - Approval for Pacific Spirit (UK) Limited in principle of granting term loan facilities offered by Barclays Bank PLC. in the amount of GBP 24 million. - Approval for Inver House Distillers Limited in principle of granting credit facilities offered by Barclays Bank PLC. in the amount of GBP 16 million. - Approval in principle of capital increase of Red Bull Distillery (1988) Co., Ltd. from Baht 3,000 million to Baht 5,000 million by the issue of 200 million ordinary shares with a Baht 10 par value. 31. Reclassification of accounts Certain accounts in the 2005 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the presentation in 2006 the financial statements. 32. New and revised accounting standards not yet adopted On 11 October 2006, the Federation of Accounting Profession (FAP) announced that the Thai Accounting Standard No. 44 (TAS No.44) “Consolidated Financial Statements and Accounting for Investments in Subsidiaries” is to be revised. FAP announcement No. 26/2006 requires a parent company which has investments in a subsidiary company, an entity

163


164

under joint control, or an associate company, which is not classified as a “held for sale” investment, to record such investment in accordance with either the cost method or with the recognition and measurement basis for financial instruments (when an announcement is made), instead of the equity method currently used. This revision to TAS No. 44 is applicable to financial statements covering periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007, with early adoption encouraged. The Company will adopt the change in accounting treatment for its investments in subsidiaries and associates for its separate financial statements from equity method to cost method on 1 January 2007 onward. 33. Significant differences between Thai GAAP and IFRS (unaudited/unreviewed) These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Thailand (“Thai GAAP”), which differ in certain significant respects from International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The following disclosure provides a summary of certain significant differences between Thai GAAP and IFRS, as applicable to the consolidated financial statements of the Group, and a reconciliation of net profit and total shareholders’ equity from Thai GAAP to IFRS. Neither the narrative summary nor the reconciliation should be construed as being exhaustive or presented fairly in all material respects and are provided for information purposes only. (a) Deferred tax There is no Thai accounting standard currently effective in relation to accounting for income and deferred taxes. In 2007, Thai GAAP plans to adopt TAS No. 56 Accounting for Income tax, which is not materially different from International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) No.12 Income Taxes, with early adoption allowed. Whilst not specifically addressed in Thai GAAP, provisions for income taxes are typically based on corporate income taxes currently payable in the period under the Revenue Code of Thailand. The group has not opted for early adoption of TAS No. 56 and, as such, the Group does not recognise deferred tax assets and liabilities. Under IFRS, provision is made for deferred tax using a balance sheet approach, with deferred tax calculated on temporary differences, being the differences between the tax and the book values of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax charge or credit is the change in the period in deferred tax liabilities and assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be fully utilised. (b) Employee benefits There is currently no Thai accounting standard in relation to accounting for employee benefits, including termination, retirement and post-retirement benefits. The Group’s primary obligations in respect of employee benefits are contributions on behalf of employees to provident funds and the payment of statutory severance benefits on retirement and terminating employment involuntarily. Severance termination and retirement benefits vary according to various factors, including the employee’s service life and salary. Whilst not specifically addressed in Thai GAAP, contributions are charged as an expense as incurred. Under IFRS, employee benefits are accounted for in accordance with IAS No. 19 Employee Benefits. Accordingly, termination benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense when, and only when, the enterprise is demonstrably committed to either terminate the employment of an employee or group of employees before the normal retirement date or


provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made in order to encourage voluntary redundancy. Retirement benefits are recognised as a liability, being the net total of the present value of the obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of any plan assets and recognised as an expense the net total of current service costs, interest costs, past service costs and any actuarial gains and losses. (c) Financial instruments Thai GAAP has certain disclosure requirements for financial instruments, but only limited guidance on the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The Group has decided not to recognise derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet. However, foreign currency assets and liabilities hedged by these contracts are translated into Thai Baht at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Under IFRS, derivative financial instruments are recognised on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability initially at cost, which is the fair value of consideration given (in the case of an asset) or received (in the case of a liability). Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. Movements in fair values are recognised in the consolidated statement of income. (d) Investment in property In accordance with Thai GAAP, owned land held to earn rentals is classified as part of property, plant and equipment. This land is carried at a revalued amount less any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Movements on the revaluation surplus are reflected in equity. Under IFRS, owned property held to earn rentals is classified as part of investment property. This is covered by IAS No. 40 Investment Property. IAS No. 40 allows enterprises to choose either a fair value model or a cost model to measure investment property. In accordance with the fair value model, an enterprise should measure all of its investment property at its fair value. A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of investment property should be included in net profit or loss for the period in which it arises. In accordance with the cost model, land and buildings held as investment property should be measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purposes of disclosure under IFRS, the Group has adopted the cost model for investment property consisting of both land and buildings. For Thai GAAP, the land has been revalued while the buildings have not. (e) Business combination (Goodwill) Thai GAAP requires goodwill acquired in business combination to be systematically amortised over its estimated useful life, although its useful life should not exceed 20 years from initial recognition.

Thai Beverage Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries

Notes to The Financial Statements. 166

For the years ended 31 December 2006 and 2005

Under IFRS, acquired goodwill is measured after initial recognition at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Therefore, goodwill is not amortised and must be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. As reported in these consolidated financial statements under Thai GAAP Add (less) : Thai GAAP/IFRS differences (net of tax effect) (a) Deferred tax (b) Employee benefits (c) Financial instruments (d) Business combination (Goodwill) Under IFRS

Appexdix Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate for Interested Person Transactions 1. Background The Board of Directors of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (the “Company”) refer to (a) the Notice of Annual General Meeting of the Company dated April 2, 2007 (the “Notice”), accompanying the Annual Report 2006, convening the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) of the Company to be held on April 20, 2007, and (b) Resolution No. 9 under the heading “Special Business” set out in the Notice. 2. Shareholders’ Mandate Pursuant to the Company’s Prospectus dated 19 May 2006 (the “Prospectus”), approval of the Shareholders was deemed obtained for a shareholders’ mandate (the “Shareholders’ Mandate”) to enable the Company and its subsidiaries which are considered to be “entities at risk” within the meaning of Rule 904(2) of the listing manual (the “Listing Manual”) of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”), in their ordinary course of businesses, to enter into categories of transactions with specified classes of the Company’s interested persons, provided that such transactions are entered into on an arm’s length basis and on normal commercial terms. The details of the interested person transactions and shareholders’ mandate were disclosed in pages 124 to 148 of the said Company’s Prospectus. 3. Proposed Renewal of the Shareholders’ Mandate The Shareholders’ Mandate was expressed to take effect until the conclusion of the next AGM. Accordingly, the Directors propose that the Shareholders’ Mandate be renewed at the forthcoming AGM on April 20, 2007, to take effect until the next AGM of the Company. 4. Details of the Shareholders’ Mandate and Extension of Shareholders’ Mandate to include the provisions of manufacturing services to and by Interested Persons Details of the Shareholders’ Mandate, including the rationale for, and the benefits to, the Company, the review procedures for determining transaction prices with interested persons and other general information relating to Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual, are set out in the Annexure to this Appendix. The Company is also proposing to extend the Shareholders’ Mandate as set out in the Company’s Prospectus to include the obtaining of manufacturing and distributorship services from the specified classes of interested persons and the provision of manufacturing services to the specified classes of interested persons. The rationale for this extension of the Shareholders’ Mandate to allow for the provision of manufacturing and distributorship services from the specified classes of interested persons is to provide the Company, in times of growth and expansion, with the flexibility and quicker access to manufacturing capacity and a distributorship network should these interested persons be able to render these services on terms that are acceptable to the Company in accordance with the Shareholders’ Mandate. Similarly, where the Company has excess manufacturing capacity, the extension of the Shareholders’ Mandate to allow the Company to provide manufacturing services to the specified classes of interested persons, will facilitate the Company’s better use of its manufacturing capability, provided such services are rendered on terms that are acceptable to the Company in accordance with the Shareholders’ Mandate. 5. Audit Committee Statement The Audit Committee has reviewed the terms of the Shareholders’ Mandate and confirms that:(a) the review procedures for determining the transaction prices under the Shareholders’ Mandate have not changed since 19 May 2006, date of the Company’s prospectus; and


181

(b) the review procedures referred to in the Annexure are sufficient to ensure that the transactions will be carried out on normal commercial terms and will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Company and its minority Shareholders. If, during the periodic reviews by the Audit Committee, it is of the view that the established review procedures are no longer appropriate or adequate to ensure that the Interested Person Transactions will be transacted on normal commercial terms and will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Company and minority Shareholders, the Company will seek a fresh mandate from Shareholders based on new review procedures. 6. Directors’ and Substantial Shareholders’ Interests The interests of the directors and substantial shareholders of the Company in the issued shares in the capital of the Company as at 21 January 2007 and 6 March 2007 respectively can be found in the Annual Report in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2006 to be, or which has been, distributed to shareholders. 7. Abstention from Voting Mr. Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, Khunying Wanna Sirivadhanabhakdi, Mr. Thapana Sirivadhanabhakdi and Mr. Panote Sirivadhanabhakdi, who are Directors of the Company, have interests in the shares of the Interested Persons (as described in the Annexure to this Appendix), and also hold directorships and/or executive positions in them. They and their respective associates will abstain from voting on Resolution No. 9 being the Ordinary Resolution relating to the proposed renewal of the Shareholders’ Mandate in respect of their shareholdings in the Company, if any, at the forthcoming AGM. 8. Directors Recommendation The Directors who are considered independent for the purposes of the proposed renewal of the Shareholders’ Mandate are Mr. Komen Tantiwiwatthanaphan, Mr. Narong Srisa-an, Mr. Samut Hatthasing, Ms. Kanoknart Rangsithienchai, Mr. Chukiet Tangpongprush, Mr. Ueychai Tantha-Obhas, Mr. Sithichai Chaikriangkrai, Dr. Pisanu Vichiensanth, Mr. Vivat Tejapaibul, Mr. Puchchong Chandhanankij, Gen.

11. SGX-ST

The SGX-ST takes no responsibility for the accuracy of any statements or opinions made in this Appendix. ANNEXURE General Mandate for Interested Persons Transactions We anticipate that we would, in the ordinary course of business, continue to enter into certain transactions with our interested persons, including but not limited to those categories of transactions described below. In view of the timesensitive nature of commercial transactions, it would be advantageous for us to obtain a shareholders’ mandate to enter into certain interested persons transactions in our ordinary course of business, provided that all such transactions are carried out on normal commercial terms and are not prejudicial to the interests of our Company and our minority Shareholders. Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual allows a listed company to obtain a mandate from its shareholders for recurrent interested persons transactions which are of a revenue or trading nature or for those necessary for its day-to-day operations. These transactions may not include the purchase or sale of assets, undertakings or businesses which are not part of our day-today operations. Pursuant to Rule 920(2) of the Listing Manual, our Company may treat a general mandate as having been obtained from our Shareholders (“Shareholders’ Mandate”) for us to enter into interested persons transactions with our interested persons, if the information required under Rule 920(1)(b) of the Listing Manual is included in this document. In relation to us, the information required by Rule 920(1)(b) is as follows: (a) the class of interested persons with which the Entity At Risk (as defined below) will be transacting; (b) the nature of the transactions contemplated under the mandate; (c) the rationale and benefit to the Entity At Risk; (d) the methods or procedures for determining transaction prices; (e) the independent financial advisor’s opinion on whether the methods or procedures in (d) above are sufficient to ensure that the transactions will be carried out on normal commercial terms and will not be prejudicial to the interests of our Company and our minority Shareholders; (f) an opinion from our Audit Committee if it takes a different view to the independent financial advisor; and (g) a statement from us that we will obtain a new mandate from our Shareholders if the methods or procedures in (d) above become inappropriate. The Shareholders’ Mandate will be effective until the earlier of the following: (i) our first annual general meeting following the Listing Date of our Company on the Main Board of the SGX-ST; or (ii) the first anniversary of the Listing Date. Thereafter, we will seek the approval of our Shareholders for renewal of the Shareholders’ Mandate at each subsequent annual general meeting. Entities At Risk For the purposes of the Shareholders’ Mandate, an “Entity At Risk” means: • our Company; • a subsidiary of our Company that is not listed on the SGX-ST or an approved exchange; or • an associated company of our Company that is not listed on the SGX-ST or an approved exchange, provided that the Group or the Group and interested persons has control over the associated company.


183

Review Procedures and Threshold Limits In general, there are procedures established by our Group to ensure that interested persons transactions, including the Mandated Transactions with the Mandated Interested Persons, are undertaken on an arm’s length basis and on normal commercial terms consistent with our Group’s usual business practices and policies, and on terms which are generally no more favorable to the interested persons than those extended to or obtained from unrelated third parties. In particular, the following review procedures have been implemented: (1) Procurement and purchase of goods and obtaining services (a) All procurement and purchases made by our Group of a recurring nature which are in the ordinary course of business of our Group or which are necessary for the day-to-day operations of our Group, including procurement and purchases which are Mandated Transactions with Mandated Interested Persons (such as the transactions referred to in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (j) above under “General Mandate for Interested Person Transactions - Mandated Transactions”) will be governed by internal control procedures, which detail matters such as the constitution of internal approving authorities, their approval limits, the number of vendors (minimum of two) who provide us quotes, and the review procedures. The guiding principle is to objectively obtain the best goods and/or services on the best terms through competitive quotations, if appropriate. In determining whether the price and terms offered by interested persons are fair and reasonable, factors such as, but not limited to, delivery schedules, specification compliance, track record, experience and expertise, preferential rates, discounts or rebates offered for bulk purchases, will be taken into consideration. In addition, each interested person transaction entered into by our Group will be monitored as an individual transaction and based on the value of the transaction, will require the prior approval of the corresponding approving authority who is a Director or management employee of the Group (not being an interested person or his associate) and who does not have any interests, whether direct or indirect, in relation to the transaction (the “Relevant Approving Authority”) as follows: Approval Limits Interested person transaction not exceeding Baht 500,000 in value Interested person transaction above Baht 500,000 but not exceeding Baht 5 million in value Interested person transaction above Baht 5 million but not exceeding Baht 10 million in value Interested person transaction above Baht 10 million but not exceeding Baht 20 million in value Interested person transaction above Baht 20 million but not exceeding 3% of the latest audited net tangible assets of the Group in value Interested person transaction above 3% of the latest audited net tangible assets of the Group in value

185

In relation to paragraph (j) above under “General Mandate for Interested Persons Transactions-Mandated Transactions,” the Relevant Approving Authority (as determined by the value of the transaction) will also assess and approve that the proposed transaction is one which is incidental to or in connection with the provision or obtaining of products and/or services in sub-paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) above under “General Mandate for Interested Persons TransactionsMandated Transactions.” (b) In the event that we cannot obtain competitive quotations (for instance, if there are no unrelated third party vendors of similar products and services (taking into account quantum, specifications and delivery schedules among others), or if the product is proprietary in nature), based on the value of the proposed interested persons transaction, the corresponding Relevant Approving Authority as set out above (not being an interested person or his associate) and who does not have any interests, direct or indirect, in relation to the transaction, will determine whether the price and terms offered by the interested person are fair and reasonable. (c) Purchases under the prevailing terms of the Glass Bottle Purchase Agreement dated 4 August 2004 entered into between Bang-Na Logistic Co., Ltd. and Berli Jucker Public Company Limited (the “Glass Bottle Purchase Agreement”) will be covered under the Shareholders’ Mandate, provided that any amendment to the material provisions of the Glass Bottle Purchase Agreement, including any adjustment authorized by the agreement to the purchase price for glass bottles pursuant to and any renewal or extension of tenure of the Glass Bottle Purchase Agreement, requires the approval of our Board of Directors and the Audit Committee. (2) Other interested persons transactions of a recurring nature (a) We intend to conduct other interested persons transactions not covered by paragraph (1) above which are of a recurring nature and that occur in the ordinary course of business of our Group. These transactions are necessary for the day-to-day operations of our Group and include the sale of products and provisions of services to interested persons and lease or sub-lease of property to or from interested persons and the Mandated Transactions with Mandated Interested Persons referred to in paragraphs (e), (f), (g), (h), (i) and (j) under “General Mandate for Interested Persons Transactions-Mandated Transactions” above. We intend to conduct these transactions at the prevailing market rates or prices of the product or service to be provided, and at prevailing market rentals for leases and sub-leases of property, on terms no more favorable to the interested person than the usual commercial terms extended to or, where applicable, by unrelated third parties (including, where applicable, preferential rates, discounts to favored customers or for bulk purchases) or otherwise in accordance with applicable industry norms, provided that: (i) in relation to the sale of products and provision of services which are not contemporaneously in time as the proposed interested person transaction being sold or provided to an unrelated third party, quotes from at least two other suppliers who are unrelated third parties not being the relevant interested person or his associates of similar products or services will be obtained; and (ii) in relation to the lease or sub-lease of property, we are required to obtain enquiries with at least two landlords and/or tenants who are unrelated third parties not being the relevant interested person or his associates of similarly sized and located properties put to similar use. In addition, each interested person transaction entered into by our Group will be monitored as an individual transaction and based on the value of the transaction, will require the prior approval of the corresponding Relevant Approving Authority who is a Director or management employee of the Group (not being an interested person or his associate) and who does not have any interests, whether direct or indirect, in relation to the transaction as follows:

In determining the transaction price payable by Mandated Interested Persons for these products or services, factors such as, but not limited to, quantity, volume, consumption, customer requirements, specifications, duration of contract and strategic purposes of the transaction will be taken into account. In relation to leases and sub-leases of property, where prevailing market rentals are not available, whether due to the unavailability or impracticality of obtaining rental comparisons or otherwise, rental will be determined according to the Group’s usual business practices and policies.

Other Review Procedures Our Audit Committee led by the Lead Independent Director for IPTs will also review all interested persons transactions including, Mandated Transactions to ensure that the prevailing rules and regulations of the SGX-ST (in particular, Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual) are complied with.

Our Company’s annual internal audit plan will incorporate a review of all interested persons transactions, including the established review procedures for the monitoring of the interested persons transactions including Mandated Transactions, entered into or existing interested persons transactions that are renewed or revised during the current financial year, pursuant to the Shareholders’ Mandate.


188

In addition, our Audit Committee led by the Lead Independent Director for IPTs will review, on a quarterly basis, internal controls and review procedures for interested persons transactions to determine if they are adequate and/or commercially practicable in ensuring that the transactions between our Group and interested persons are conducted on normal commercial terms and are not prejudicial to the interests of our Company and our minority Shareholders. In conjunction with this review, our Audit Committee will also ascertain whether we have complied with the established review procedures. Further, if during these periodic reviews by our Audit Committee, our Audit Committee is of the view that the internal controls and review procedures for interested persons transactions are inappropriate or not sufficient to ensure that the interested persons transactions will be on normal commercial terms and not prejudicial to the interests of our Company and our minority Shareholders, our Audit Committee will (pursuant to Rule 920(1)(b)(iv) and (vii) of the Listing Manual) revert to our Shareholders for a new Shareholders’ Mandate based on new internal controls and review procedures for transactions with the Mandated Interested Persons. During the period prior to obtaining a new mandate from Shareholders, all transactions with interested persons will be subject to prior review and approval by the Audit Committee. For the purposes of the above review of the internal controls and review procedures, any member of our Audit Committee who is not considered independent will abstain from participating in the Audit Committee’s review of the internal controls and review procedures. Our Audit Committee will have overall responsibility for determining the review procedures with the authority to delegate to individuals or committees within our Group as they deem appropriate.

Accounting Manual Policy / SAP System Annual Report 2006 - Thai Beverage Public Company Limited

Status of the Completion and Implementation of the Group’s Accounting Policies ThaiBev developed an accounting manual in 2006, inviting Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Jaiyos Advisory (Deloitte), part of one of the world’s top four auditing firms, to assist. An accounting manual will be used eventually to aid in the uniform understanding and utilization of the accounting system throughout companies in ThaiBev group. It formally comprises our accounting policy, chart of accounts, organization chart, accounting process flow, samples of documents and reports received and generated in the accounting process and etc. Deloitte delivered the accounting manual to ThaiBev on December 22, 2006. The initial four companies in the group to make use of this accounting manual are Thai Beverage PLC., the parent company, Beer Thai (1991) PLC., a brewery, Sangsom Co., Ltd., a distiller, and Pomthip Co., Ltd., a marketing and distribution company. All companies in ThaiBev group are expected to commence implementing the use of the accounting manual within 2007. Implementation and Status of ThaiBev’s SAP Information technology systems are important to our ability to manage business. Even though the current accounting closing activities can be supported by the existing system (principally the AS/400), we wish to gain the benefit of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). In 2001, we began implementation of an ERP system called SAP for two breweries and realized that there was a benefit in consistency and cooperation among business units; group harmonizing and improved business processes; and centralized financial analysis presenting a credible and transparent accounting of the costs and the business value realized. In 2006, our management therefore approved a budget to extend SAP implementation to 34 subsidiaries around Thailand. The working committee issued bid invitations to various SAP implementation vendors in Thailand and selected SAP Thailand as implementation vendor with the following milestones. January 2007 June 2007 July 2007 September 2007

SAP System goes live for four companies in the distillery group and Thai Alcohol PLC. SAP System goes live for ten companies in distillery group SAP System goes live for three companies in related business group SAP System goes live for four companies in related business group and five spirits and beer agency companies January 2008 SAP System goes live for four companies in related business group, one brewery company and Thai Beverage PLC.

189


190

Currently, the project is according to the schedule, as we have already gone live at five companies in the distillery group and at Thai Alcohol PLC. We expect the 28 remaining companies to migrate to the SAP system under the project plan. In addition, we plan to extend the implementation scope of the current project as follows: • Extend SAP implementation to cover distillation operation at Sura Piset Thipharat Co., Ltd. • Extend SAP implementation to cover production planning and plant maintenance at Cosmos Brewery (Thailand) Co., Ltd. It is expected that the cost of the additional scope can be covered by the implementation budget approved by management, but operation costs may slightly increase due to the increase in user licenses required. In addition to the above SAP implementation project plan, we plan to interface BC-Accounting system of 12 companies in the marketing business group to the SAP system by September 2008, and to extend SAP implementation to our overseas businesses by the end of 2010.
