Vision

PDI will be a low cost producer of high quality zinc, able to compete in its markets with world class producers, providing valued services to customers and giving great importance to the environment.

Background --->

Padaeng Industry was established on April 10, 1981 with the original registered capital of Bt20 million invested by the Thai public (Ministry of Finance) and private investors, and a private company from Belgium. The company has since engaged in mining and refining businesses with the objective to produce zinc metal and zinc alloys to serve the demand of our customers. The company’s mine is located in Mae Sot district, Tak province, the zinc smelter is located in Muang district of the same province and the roaster plant is located in Rayong. The company has also engaged in zinc ore exploration programs both in Thailand and in neighbouring countries. The company was listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand on July 21, 1987 and was converted into a public company limited on February 4, 1994. In 1996, the company increased its registered capital to Bt 2,260 million, which was fully paid in 2000.

down amid a gloomy domestic economy. Total zinc metal consumption was limited to 114,000 mt, an 9.4% decrease from 2004 due to the following factors: - C ontinuously rising oil price; - R ising production costs not translated immediately into selling prices; - Imports of finished products from C hina competing with our customersÕproducts; - C oncerns surrounding bird flu and violence in the south; and,

- R educ ed buying power of c ons umers after droughts and floods. T he negative fac tors mentioned led to higher production costs in various industries while shaking consumer confidence. However, zinc consumption in some sectors such as zinc oxide and auto parts rose significantly in spite of the sluggish economy.

Risk factors Protecting our competitiveness Until recently, the Thai government imposed an import duty of 10% on zinc, protecting the company to some degree from foreign competitors, who have a lower cost base than exists in Thailand. However, further government implementation of current market liberalisation measures in this sector reduced the import duty on zinc metal to 5.5% in 2005, and to 3.25% in 2006, which will lead to a significant reduction in the company’s revenue. This measure will decrease our protection against better-protected Asian producers. Nevertheless, the company holds the ambition to maintain its position as leader in the domestic market and to

Annual Report 2005 Padaeng Industry 28 Public Company Limited

Products and their uses --->

Padaeng Industry products comprise special high-grade (SHG) zinc and value-added zinc alloys. Their main applications are described as follows:

SHG Zinc: is used predominantly in the field of corrosion protection, whereby steel is galvanised with a zinc coating on its surface. Subsequently, the zinc layer protects the steel substrate in two ways. First, when the coating is intact, zinc forms a barrier covering steel to protect it from corrosive media and hence provides barrier protection for the steel surface. Second, having a lower electrochemical potential than steel, zinc becomes a “sacrificial anode”, while the steel assumes the role of a cathode. When the coating is damaged, the zinc is sacrificed as it corrodes preferentially to the steel. This interaction is called “cathodic protection”. Galvanising thereby offers a surface better protection than painting, which provides only barrier protection. Galvanised steel will offer long-term and maintenance-free corrosion resistance to structures.


Annual Report 2005 Padaeng Industry 29 Public Company Limited

Zinc alloys: Pressure die-casting zinc alloys are used to produce near-finished cast products for the construction, automotive, toy and audiovisual appliances industries. In zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloys, aluminum helps to increase tensile and creep strength as well as toughness and castability, while magnesium provides protection against inter-granular corrosion.

Zinc die-casting products: require a minimum of finishing steps and may be further subjected to painting and baking and electroplating.


Annual Report 2005 Padaeng Industry 30 Public Company Limited

Other applications of zinc

Zinc chemicals: While special grades of zinc powder are used in alkaline batteries and button cells, zinc oxide finds application in vulcanisation, ceramics, paints, animal feed and even in medical ointments and sun blocks.

Brasses: By combining zinc and copper in different concentrations, various grades of brass are obtained for varied applications, including bathroom accessories, valves, decorative statues and brass tubes.

Notes to the consolidated and company financial statements

1. General information Padaeng Industry Public Company Limited (the “Company”) was established on April 10, 1981 and has been listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand since July 21, 1987. The company’s head office is at CTI Tower, 26th-27th floor, 191/18-25 Ratchadaphisek road, Khlong Toei district, Bangkok. The company operates a silicate mine and a zinc smelter located in Tak province and a calcine plant located in Rayong province. The principal business operations of the company and its subsidiaries are summarised as follows: Company Padaeng Industry Public Co., Ltd.

During the year 2005 , the company employed 766 employees (2004: 746 employees). These consolidated and company financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 23 February 2006.

2. Significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated and company financial statements are set out below. 2.1

Basis of preparation The consolidated and company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Thai Generally

Accepted Accounting Principles under the Accounting Act B.E. 2543 being those Thai Accounting Standards issued under the Accounting Profession Act B.E. 2547 and the financial reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities and Exchange Act B.E. 2535. The accounting principles applied may differ from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles adopted in other countries and jurisdictions. The accompanying consolidated and company financial statements are therefore not intended to present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with jurisdictions other than Thailand. The consolidated and company financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except as disclosed in the accounting policies below. As a result of the Federation of Accounting Profession (FAP) approval of three new accounting standards on 12 May 2005, the company has adopted TAS 52, ‘Events After Balance Sheet Date’, TAS 53, ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets’ and TAS 54, ‘Discontinuing Operations’ since the second quarter of 2005. There is no significant impact to the financial statements from the adoption of these standards.


Annual Report 2005 Padaeng Industry 44 Public Company Limited

An English version of the consolidated and company financial statements has been prepared from the statutory financial statements that are in the Thai language. In the event of a conflict or a difference in interpretation between the two languages, the Thai language statutory financial statements shall prevail. 2.2

Changes in accounting policy In 2005, the company changed its accounting policy to start recognising provisions for employee termination/

retirement benefits in accordance with Thai Labor laws. The effect of this change in accounting policy has been accounted for retrospectively. Accordingly, the comparative statements for 2004 have been restated to reflect adoption of the new policy. The company has recognised Baht 8.2 and 7.2 million in employee termination/retirement benefits for 2005 and 2004 respectively. Additionally, Baht 50,614,474 has been recognised in the opening 2004 retained earnings balance representing the costs to be recognised for prior periods (see Note 2.19 and Note 17). There is no requirement under Thai Accounting Standards to record these costs. 2.3

Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Thai Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires

management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses in the reported periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates. 2.4

Revenue recognition Sales are recognised when title to the goods sold passes to the buyer, which is at the time when the goods are

delivered to the customer or as contractually agreed. 2.5

Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid

investments, and bank overdrafts. Cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the end of the year. 2.6

Trade receivables Trade receivables are carried at anticipated realisable value. An estimate is made for doubtful receivables based

on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year-end. Bad debts are written off during the year in which they are identified. 2.7

Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is calculated on the weighted average cost

basis. The cost of work in progress and finished goods comprise raw materials costs (zinc sulphide concentrates and zinc silicates), direct conversion costs, and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated conversion costs and the estimated costs incurred to make the sale. Where net realisable value is less than cost, an allowance for the diminution in value of inventories has been provided. Spare parts and consumables are valued on the weighted average cost basis. Provisions are made, where necessary, for obsolete, slow moving and defective inventories based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year-end. 2.8 Investments in subsidiaries Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for in the company (non-consolidated) financial statements by the equity method. Subsidiaries are those entities over which the company has over 50% of the voting rights, or over which the company exercises control. When necessary, provisions are recorded for any impairment in value of these investments. Equity accounting involves recognising in the income statement the company’s share of the subsidiary’s profit or loss for the year. The company’s interests in the subsidiaries are carried in the balance sheet at an amount that reflects its shares of the net assets of the subsidiaries and includes goodwill, if any, on acquisition. Additionally, all intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains are eliminated unless the loss cannot be recovered.


Annual Report 2005 Padaeng Industry 45 Public Company Limited

2.9

Consolidation Subsidiary undertakings, which are those companies in which the company, directly or indirectly, has over 50%

of the voting rights or otherwise has power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies, have been consolidated (see Note 27(i)). Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which effective control is transferred to the company and are no longer consolidated from the date control ceases. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised surpluses and deficits on transactions between companies have been eliminated. Where necessary, accounting policies for subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the company. Separate disclosure is made for minority interests in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated income statement. The SET guideliness dated 8 May 1998, specify that the equity method is to be used to account for investments in subsidiaries that have accumulated losses exceeding their share capital, and that the consolidated financial statements recognise the full amount of a subsidiary’s losses (excluding the minority interest to the extent that they do not exceed the minority shareholders’ equity), that exceed the company’s investment in such subsidiaries. In the company (non-consolidated) financial statements, the company’s share of losses in subsidiaries are generally recognised only to the extent of the amount of the investment in the subsidiaries except where the company has a commitment and/or guarantees on behalf of the subsidiaries. The resumption of recognition of the company’s equity in profit will begin when the profit in such subsidiaries exceeds the company’s shares of previously unrecognised losses in excess of investment. Accordingly, the consolidated and the company’s financial statements do not present the same net income (loss) and shareholders’ equity. 2.10 Related companies Related companies are holding companies, subsidiaries, fellow subsidiaries, associates and other companies that are in the same company, including companies that are related by way of common directors, key management or shareholders. Transactions with related companies have been disclosed in Note 27. 2.11 Property, plant and equipment Carrying value: Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Cost is measured by the cash or cash equivalent price of obtaining the asset and bringing it to the location and condition necessary for its intended use. In the case of self-constructed assets, the cost of construction consists of the materials, direct labour and other expenses attributable to the construction which are allocated to the assets on a systematic basis. Property, plant and equipment, except land, are presented in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line method to write off the cost of each asset, or its revalued amount, to their residual values over their estimated useful life as follows: Years Land improvement Building Machinery and heavy equipment Equipment, furniture and fixtures and vehicles

5-20 20 - 25 8-20 5

Mining concession fees and expenses

5-16

Other structures

8-25

Residue ponds brought into operation after 1 January 2001 are amortised on units of production basis using the capacity volume of the residue ponds. Finance lease assets are recorded as assets and depreciated over their estimated useful life. When the company disposes of property, plant and equipment, the company will write-off both the asset and its related accumulated depreciation, and recognise any gain or loss from disposal of the assets through the statement of income.


Annual Report 2005 Padaeng Industry 46 Public Company Limited

Capital expenditures which result in the acquisition of assets, or results in an increase in capacity, useful life or improves the operating efficiency of existing assets and that are expected to provide future economic benefits, are capitalised. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount through recording an impairment charge. 2.12 Exploration costs Exploration is accumulated separately for each area of interest and accounted using the successful efforts basis of accounting for such costs. Under this basis, accumulated costs of exploration are capitalized and carried forward on the balance sheet where one or both of the following conditions are met: -

Costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of each area of interest or by sale of the area of interest; and/or

-

Exploration activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves and exploration activities are continuing in the area of interest.

Upon commencement of development and production, these costs are amortised using the straight line basis over the period that it is expected to provide economic benefits. Expenditure which no longer satisfies the above policy is written-off or an allowance raised against such expenditure where management is of the opinion that the carried forward net cost may not be recoverable. 2.13 Environmental restoration costs Expenditures relating to ongoing environmental restoration programs are charged against earnings as incurred. Where future costs relating to environmental liabilities have arisen as a result of past events, the company establishes a provision over the period in which the obligation is incurred, which is over the useful life of the related asset. These provisions are made on an undiscounted basis. Hence, the estimated restoration costs of the Mae Sot mine are accrued over the life of the mine. The estimated restoration costs for the residue ponds located at the Tak zinc smelter facility are accrued over the useful life of the residue ponds. 2.14 Provisions Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. 2.15 Deferred income taxes The company does not recognise income taxes payable or receivable in future periods in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. The accounting standard for deferred income taxes is currently not in effect in Thailand. 2.16 Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are accounted for at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Such balances are translated at year-end exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are recognised in the statement of income. 2.17 Financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities carried on the balance sheet include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, related party receivables and payables, bank overdraft, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and loans. The company enters into derivative financial instruments that reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates with respect to recognised foreign currency assets or liabilities. The derivative instruments comprise forward foreign exchange contracts, protecting the company from movements of foreign currency exchange rates


Annual Report 2005 Padaeng Industry 47 Public Company Limited

by establishing the rate at which a foreign currency asset or liability will be realised or settled. Such forward contracts are recorded initially on the balance sheet at cost. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value and any related gains or losses (realized or unrealized) are recognised in current period income. The fair values of the contracts are based on closing exchange quotations. The company also enters into forward derivative contracts to protect the company from movements in zinc metal prices and foreign exchange rate changes related to forecasted production, purchases and sales of zinc. Those instruments comprise forward contracts for the sale and purchase of zinc metal and foreign currencies to enable the company to establish the prices of forecasted zinc metal sales and purchases. Such derivatives are not recognised on balance sheet at inception, since they relate to future transactions (or underlyings) which are not yet reflected in the financial statements. Gains and losses on those derivative contracts are recognised in the financial statements upon settlement of the transactions (see Note 30). 2.18 Leases-where a group company is the lessee Leases of property, plant or equipment which substantially transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated to the principal and to the finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The outstanding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other long-term payables. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the statement of income over the lease period so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant or equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term. Leases not transferring a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place. 2.19 Provision for employee termination/retirement benefits In 2005 the company began recognising the costs of employee termination/retirement benefits payable in accordance with Thai Labor law. The amount of termination/retirement benefits are recorded based on an actuarial valuation completed based on employee wages, turnover, retirement ages, mortality, length of service and other factors in place at the end of the period. (The effect of adoption of this policy is shown in Note 2.2 and Note 17)

Exploration costs Exploration costs are mainly related to those incurred by a subsidiary, Puthep Co., Ltd. At the date of these

statements, exploration activities had not established whether economically recoverable resources existed in the area. In accordance with the company’s accounting policy for exploration, such costs will remain capitalized until final determination of whether economically recoverable resource exists. On 21 August 2000, the company and Puthep Co., Ltd. entered into a Participation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Pan Australian Resources N.L. and PNA (Puthep) Pty Limited of Australia (“PNA”) to undertake exploration and mining of Puthep Copper Project. Under the Agreement, PNA has the right to a 51% working interest in the Puthep Project in north-east Thailand by completing a feasibility study to a bankable standard. The Agreement also includes further options for PNA to acquire a total interest of either 60% or 70%. PNA completed the expenditure requirements of the First Earning Period of the Participation Agreement (US$ 1 million or Baht 42 million) in April 2003 and has complied with all other requirements under the Participation Agreement. Accordingly, in June 2005, PNA obtained, through a capital increase, a 20.66% ownership interest in Puthep Co., Ltd. (Note 27 (i)) PNA must spend a further US$ 1 million to attain approximately a further 15% interest in Puthep Co., Ltd.

Annual Report 2005 Padaeng Industry 64 Public Company Limited

30.2 Risk management and hedging instruments The majority of the company’s price quotations of zinc related transactions are based in US dollars. In this respect, the company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations relating to export sales and to the purchases of imported raw materials, spare parts and capital equipment. When needed, the company uses derivative financial instruments (mainly spot and forward contracts) to reduce the exposure to adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Also, the company uses derivative financial and commodity instruments (mainly spot and forward contracts) primarily to reduce the exposure to adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices on its expected future cash flows. Those risks derive mainly from our exposure to fluctuations in metals prices from our own mining production, on treatment charges and surplus of metals recovered from imported concentrates. Derivative financial and commodity instruments related to future cash flows are not recognized in the financial statements until the underlying cash flows is realized. Accordingly, on these transactions, no “mark to market� mechanism is applied at the time of the balance sheet date to unsettled financial and commodity. In 2004 and the first quarter of year 2005, a total of 50,000 metric tons of zinc forward contracts were entered into relating to cash flows to be realized in 2005 at an average price of Baht 49,892 per metric tons. In addition, in 2005, a total of 30,000 metric tons of zinc forward contracts have been entered into relating to cash flows to be realized in 2006 at an average price of Baht 58,511 per metric ton. Further, a total of 18,275 metric tons of zinc forward contracts have been entered into relating to cash flows to be realized in 2007 at an average price of Baht 68,579 per metric ton. At the end of the year, a balance of 48,275 metric tons of unsettled forward sales remained at a contractual average of USD 1,512 per metric ton which will be settled through purchases from the London Metals Exchange in 2006 and 2007. The total contract value of these unsettled forward contracts at 31 December 2005 is USD 73 million. Additionally, at 31 December 2005, 41,650 metric tons of unsettled metal forwards purchases remained at a closing average of USD 1,836 per metric ton. The contract value of these forward contracts which remain unpriced at period end are estimated at USD 76 million. Consolidated

The contract values shown in above reflect the marked to market values of the contracts at year end.

The operations carried out on the future markets for reducing both transactional and structural risks as describe here above are not of speculative nature. 30.3 Fair values The carrying amounts at the balance sheet date of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, shortterm loans and advances to related parties, value added tax receivable, other receivables, other current assets, investment and certain other assets, loans from financial institutions, trade accounts payable, short-term loans from related parties, payable for land use compensation, accrued interest expenses, accrued electricity expenses, royalty payable, other current liabilities, hire purchase payable, deferred gain on hire purchase and provision for restoration expense approximate their fair values. 30.4 Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the company. As a general rule, the company has a credit risk management policy to obtain collateral from the customers before commencing trade. The collateral may include bank guarantees or cash guarantees. The companyĂ­s credit risk is spread amongst several customers. 30.5 Interest rate risk Interest rate risk in the balance sheet arises from the potential for a change in interest rates to have an adverse effect on the net interest earnings of the company in the current reporting period and in future years. Management believes that these risks are acceptable. In 2003, the company obtained financing facilities in the amount of Baht 800 million at a fixed rate of interest for a period of 3 years. As of December 31, 2005, the company has drawndown a total of Baht 650 million from which Baht 547.5 million are still not matured (see Note 14).
