Report of the Board of Directors to the Shareholders

Chairman’s Message First and foremost, on behalf of the Board of Directors, the management and the company’s staff, I wish to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to our former Chairman, Khun Krit Ratanarak whose contribution throughout the 14 years of this Chairmanship, helped to solidify our company’s performance. With his vision and adherence to good corporate governance, Siam City Cement was able to weather the major economic turbulence that Thailand experienced 10 years ago. With his decisive leadership and personal sacrifice Siam City Cement has undergone a shareholders and management restructuring which enable us to achieve consistently good results. His support, for our successful build up and molding of the professional management team with emphasis on professional ethics, were with the intent to serve the interests of all shareholders. All this was done while at the same time providing excellent benefits to all members of the company’s work force.

2/23/07, 5:18 PM

For the year 2006, Siam City Cement and its subsidiaries achieved total net sales of 23,647 million baht, up by 6.0 percent from 2005. Net profit amounted to 3,855 million baht with earnings per share of 16.43 baht down by 4.2 percent from 2005. Based on this performance and strong financial status of the company, the Board of Directors is pleased to propose to the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting the payment of a full-year dividend of 14.0 baht per share, representing 85 percent dividend payout from net profits, compared to 82 percent dividend payout in 2005. An interim dividend of 6.50 baht per share was paid on September 10, 2006 and a final dividend of 7.5 baht per share will be paid not later than April 14, 2007. In 2006 we paid particular attention to three key aspects of our business, namely our customers, improved operating efficiencies, and occupational health and safety. I am pleased to report that the efforts made by our management teams and employees in these key areas had yield successful results.

In trading terms, 2006 was a very challenging year in both domestic and international markets. A number of economic factors in overseas markets, especially the US market, applied downward pressure on our export. Furthermore, high energy prices could not be entirely offset by the implementation of our Alternative Fuels and Raw Materials policy. In 2007, we look forward to maintaining confidence and stability in our business whilst seeking to improve our competitive position. We are well placed to meet the country’s need when new national infrastructure projects are given the green light and we will continue to conduct our operation in the best interests of all our shareholders and other stakeholders as the nation’s ‘Cement Solution Provider’. The Board of Directors wishes to express sincere appreciation to all our shareholders, customers, suppliers, and employees for their continuing support and trust in the company and its management team.

Why ‘Cement Solution Provider’ and ‘As I Wish’

‘Cement Solution Provider’ and ‘As I Wish’ corporate culture that drives Siam City Cement to higher levels of success Siam City Cement has changed its culture to better answer present day business needs. This, we believe, is key to our drive to attain higher levels of success. Brainstorming at each employee level within the company has resulted in a new vision, fresh objectives and a new mission - setting us apart from other organisations. Our Corporate Vision, to be the preferred ‘cement solution provider’, is what all employees hold on to as our goal. This means every member of our company, in every department, is an expert in what they do to provide stakeholders with solutions. Our main objective is to respond to the wishes of all our stakeholders especially customers. By making this commitment to deliver high standards of service and products we will make strides towards achieving our Mission. We employ the strategy ‘As I Wish’ as an operational goal. This is a goal that looks from the outside in. What it really means is whatever our people do they look at the satisfaction, impressions and wish fulfilment of customers as their highest goal. This can only be achieved when our people are expert in each facet of cement, caring about our dealers/customers and end-users, doing their work with enthusiasm and being alert and trustworthy. With all these qualities found in our people our customers, partners and stakeholders appreciate this response to their needs and feel emotionally satisfied. Indeed, our people are the key to future success. This is how we built our culture, by building in the value chain the value creation under the strategy ‘As I Wish’ We believe our valued human resource is the key to drive Siam City Cement to a higher level of success.

Report of the Executive Committee

Siam City Cement Public Company Limited faced a number of trading challenges in 2006. The domestic market has been stagnating compared with an increase of approximately some four percent in 2005. The housing sector, a traditional source of growth for the industry, witnessed a general flattening of consumer confidence caused by increased oil prices, high interest rates, decreasing disposable incomes, widespread flooding in rural communities and continued political uncertainty. In the public sector, the industry as a whole was affected by continued delays and uncertainties with proposed major infrastructure projects. The company remains well placed, however, to serve the nation’s interests when such projects are confirmed thanks to our attention to three key aspects of the business. Customers are the lifeblood of any business and we focused our attention on the continuous development and improvement of our customer relationship management programmes. The introduction of stateof-the-art management systems lifted our professional and technical expertise and enhanced our supply chain operations. The company systematically concentrates on building materials that complement each other and improve value adding products and solutions to the housing, commercial, residential building and infrastructure sectors. In this respect our product offering was further enhanced with new developments in our mortar range, the development and marketing of sand and aggregate and a further strengthening of the Ready - Mixed Concrete operations - particularly in Bangkok and on the Eastern Seaboard. Conwood added six new products to its product line. The transition from a product-focused business to a customer-orientated company through the ‘As I Wish’ campaign is well under way.

Report of the Executive Committee

Operational efficiency forms the second pillar in support of the company’s ‘cement solution provider’ strategy. The Saraburi plant operated at full capacity and programmes to improve productivity, efficiency and quality showed tangible results.

Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) remains paramount in our company. We introduced a wide range of initiatives in 2006 and it is pleasing to note that OH&S is starting to become an embedded value at all our operations.

The increased use of alternative fuels and raw materials (AFR) made an important contribution to our drive to produce quality premium products at the lowest cost.

Safe working environments are not only an important aspect of our Corporate Social Responsibility policy but also make sound business sense - reflecting competence, productivity and excellence across the business. The introduction of the 12 Golden Rules, representing our operational philosophy in 12 clear, concise and straightforward statements, forms the framework for further progress and development in this key area.

The investment in a state-of-the-art AFR Platform started in 2006. We make this commitment to become more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly in the knowledge that we are making an important contribution to the many communities in which we operate and serve.

19824-Eng p03-37 new-G6

SIAM CITY CEMENT PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2006

2/22/07, 1:42 AM

All three initiatives have been made possible by the enthusiasm and dedication of our hard working and motivated employees. The continuous development of our people through training and educational programmes is reflected in our results. People development will remain an essential part of the company’s management strategy to meet the many significant challenges that face the business in the years ahead. The challenges faced by our organization in 2006 have demonstrated the strength and depth of the company, the dedication and commitment of the workforce and the quality of the entire product range. These are assets that will ensure that the company remains in good health - fit and able to remain Thailand’s ‘cement solution provider’ of choice. 2007 Outlook The company has a cautious outlook for 2007. However, we are confident that, with a clear focus on customer and operational efficiency, the company will be able to further improve its position.

Customers Centric Organization The cement industry in Thailand has been experiencing a fundamental change in the relationship between manufacturers and customers. With supply exceeding demand for more than a decade and the customers becoming more knowledgeable and sophisticated, the days where manufacturers rule the market have ended and instead we have moved into the customers-centric era. The market power has shifted from producers to customers and business partners.

In response, Siam City Cement has undergone a transformation to become a Customer Centric Organization. Our corporate culture was rebuilt around customer needs where all parts of the organization are united with a single objective to create value to customers and business partners through continuing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;As I Wishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign.

Not just a sales representative but also an expert in cement Every working day Khun Ranee Surakitchai, Customer and Sales Consultant (Kanchanaburi), Siam City Cement, takes care of valued dealers. She takes pride not only in providing service but also in sharing knowledge, giving consultation, and delivering solutions to a variety of problems.

As a step towards the goal to become a ‘Cement Solution Provider’, our efforts to improve value to customers has been intensified throughout 2006. Among the major achievements, quality levels of our major products have been raised, our sales consultants’ technical knowledge has been enhanced and our technical services capabilities have been strengthened to ensure customers receive the best of quality, services and advice, from Siam City Cement. At Siam City Cement, customer satisfaction is our mission. We have created a culture based upon a total understanding of our customer needs and put a strong emphasis on ‘customers come first’ - ensuring that our products and services delivery match customer expectations.

We aim to fulfill our customers needs New product creation has been developed consistently at Siam City Cement. INSEE Mortar Max is one of our innovative and valued-added products. Deriving from our total understanding of customer needs modern, quick, easy to use - to meet customer expectations and generate more customer satisfaction. Success is witnessed by a sixfold increase in sales in 2006.

Customer understanding means not just products but all company’s resource and expertise at customers’ disposal With cement users today enjoying a much greater understanding about products and product applications, Siam City Cement is more than ever committed to delivering better quality products and superior service to our customers and business partners.

Expertise for all solutions The company’s Mobile Lab, operated by qualified engineers and technicians, is available to help provide technical solutions and support to the customers; another example of how we provide our customers with sound and accessible technical support. Here Khun Sumet Tienjang, a member of our Mobile Technical team, gives advice to dealer staff on advanced cement application techniques.

To achieve our goal to become ‘the preferred application-tailored cement solution provider,’ we hold on to the three principles: aligning the direction of our business to the customers and business partners interest and demands, placing emphasis on maintaining and enhancing relationships with customers and partners, and taking our customers experience, response, and ultimately loyalty as benchmarks for continued success. As well, Siam City Cement constantly monitors and studies the impact of changing market conditions and customers needs to our business. This enable us to adapt/adjust our strategy to suit changing environment - to ensure our organization’s success is sustainable in the long run.

AFR - there’s simply no alternative Siam City Cement has done a great deal to consolidate its position as Thailand’s premier developer of Alternative Fuels and Raw Materials (AFR). In what was only the second year of operations for EcoSiam, Siam City Cement business unit responsible for developing and implementing AFR usage, considerable progress has been made in reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions at our plants. Working in partnership with the cement plant at Saraburi, the consumption of AFR in 2006 doubled compared to 2005. Six new feeding systems were established to serve the various types of alternative fuels, including used tyres, sorted municipal solid waste and sludge.

19824-Eng p03-37 new-G6

The year ended with a ground-breaking ceremony at Saraburi to mark the start of the company’s AFR Platform - a significant new construction project scheduled for completion by 2008. This new plant will sort and prepare different types of waste materials received on site prior to co-processing in the cement kilns. It is expected that the new AFR laboratory and solid fuel pre-treatment works will commence operations in late 2007 with the new sludge facility coming on-stream in the first half of 2008. The company’s contribution in this field was extended in 2006 with the signing of a services agreement with Amata Industrial Estates as the manager of Amata Solid Waste Transfer Station. Tons of sorted solid waste from Amata is now being transported to be disposed and used as AFR at Siam City Cement’s plant.

SIAM CITY CEMENT PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2006

2/22/07, 1:42 AM

Another significant achievement in AFR is that we have successfully utilised Refuse Plastic Fuel (RPF), the final material from the composting process of the municipal solid waste, as an alternative fuel. Disposing RPF in our cement kilns is a great contribution to society and the environment as it reduces municipal waste volume for landfill.

In making a significant further investment in the use of AFR in cement production, Siam City Cement remains the market leader in co-processing and represents a vital ingredient in the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy on Sustainable Development.

Working together to analyse and accept waste In AFR business, part of the important process is to analyse and accept waste to be alternative fuels and raw materials. As a Shift Foreman, Khun Kittarwit Jitmaitreeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job is receiving waste from customers and coordinating with AFR laboratory to test. Here Khun Kanya Thaemee, AFR Quality Control Division Manager, will analyse the physical and chemical properties of the waste in re-acceptance testing. It is to be ensuring that waste materials from the customer comply with current safety and environmental standards and are fully compatible with cement production process.

2/22/07, 1:43 AM

Employee safety is our prime concern The welfare and safety of employees is of paramount concern to the Executive Committee and the entire management team at Siam City Cement. Indeed, the company’s commitment to Occupational Health and Safety has never been greater in the year 2006. OH&S is one of the six pillars which make up the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility policy. In seeking to provide safe and healthy workplaces for employees, subcontractors, third party contractors and visitors the company’s zero accident target is a

key element in the OH&S standards and guidelines applied across the business. The company stresses that Occupational Health & Safety is the responsibility of each and every line manager in the business, rather than that of the OH&S team. Hazard Reporting is a key element of OH&S performance which focuses on unsafe conditions with the potential of causing injury to personnel or damage to property.

Safety Talk We support a culture in which good OH&S practices are encouraged and praised. We firmly believe that such encouragement is a solid investment in our safe production culture and, by stressing the importance of increased awareness of health and safety issues in the workplace, employees, sub-contractors, third party contractors and visitors have every right to feel safer in our work environment. Every morning at 8 AM before our personnel and contractors start working, they receive a safety briefing. The objective is to alert them on key safety issues 5 - 10 minutes before their shift begins and to check on their general fitness for work.

19824-Eng p03-37 new-G6

SIAM CITY CEMENT PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2006

2/22/07, 1:44 AM

The number of hazards identified and reported rose from just one in 2005 to almost 500 in 2006. The number of reportable incidents rose from 457 in 2005 to almost 800 in 2006.

Don’t walk past The ‘Don’t Walk Past’ campaign, for example, has done much to highlight the importance of OH&S throughout the company. It is a campaign which applies to every employee - without exception. We preach the philosophy that to walk past an unsafe act or unsafe condition is to endorse it - and may lead later to a serious injury or even fatality. For example when Khun Sompol Charnvaivit, Assistant Plant Manager, Plant 3, saw a welder worked without a mask, he stopped him. At Siam City Cement there are strict rules of working with such tools. This is one of the 12 Golden Rules.

The job of a Safety Section Head is not just to follow the rules. He initiates as well. A number of initiatives were introduced during 2006 in support of the company’s overall policy. As Safety Section Head for Quarry, Khun Prasit Loonvela not only implements OH&S requirements but he also initiates ideas to improve safety at the quarry - such as enlarging signage as visibility needed to be improved.

SIAM CITY CEMENT PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2006

19824-Eng p03-37 new-G6

2/22/07, 1:45 AM

Golden Rules reflect companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to welfare and safety The Golden Rules has marked the start of a new era in health and safety compliance for the company. It was clear that, in certain areas of our business, urgent action was needed to reinforce key safety messages and tighten discipline on safe working practices.

The Golden Rules cover such areas as working at heights, moving machinery, electrical safety, confined space entry, lifting and supporting loads and vehicle/ road traffic safety. No employee or contractor is exempt from the Golden Rules and penalties reflect the level of risk associated with them.

Excuse me. This may be a minor issue to you but, for me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important. Every vehicle entering the quarry must either be escorted by a quarry vehicle or be fitted with a high pole and flag at the end, high enough for driver of a dump truck to see. The guard is showing his commitment to site safety by enforcing this important rule. When he sees that the escort vehicle has not raised the pole with red flags high enough to ensure that the big truck will see it, he raises the pole himself. The four metre pole stands tall against the sky and red flag at the top is clearly visible.

19824-Eng p03-37 new-G6

SIAM CITY CEMENT PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2006

2/22/07, 1:46 AM

It is clear that this new compliance framework has created a solid foundation but the company recognises that there is much work still to be done. Importantly, the company’s safety culture extends far beyond the office and plant environments. With up to 4,000 vehicle movements daily, the adoption of safe driving practices and safe vehicle conditions are a vital part of the campaign to achieve zero accidents. Our defensive driver training courses, for example, improve ‘on the road’ skills for our sales team.

Checking all around the vehicle for safety Before operations begin, staff must inspect the equipment they are about to use. Although the equipment may be in perfect working order, these important checks are still carried out.

Safety culture extends beyond our site to community The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to safety is probably best reflected in the annual two-day safety exhibition at Saraburi. In 2006 the exhibition attracted record numbers and provided an ideal showcase for the newly-introduced Golden Rules and included information stands by employees and contractors. It was an event not just for employees but also for contractors and their families and particularly for their children who can have an important impact on parent safety behaviour as we want all to return home each day to their families. Sub-contractors and employees sharing information at the exhibition In addition to the 1,000 employees who work at the plant the 2006 safety exhibition attracted more than 2,000 sub-contractors who live in Saraburi and the surrounding provinces. Many participated directly in the safety exhibition with imaginative and creative displays.

Industrial Outlook, Risk Factors & Risk Management

Cement Industry 2006: Overview The increase in demand for cement consumption over the past five years was driven by a number of governmental projects, including the Mass Transit, Suvarnabhumi Airport and other infrastructure projects in both city and regional areas. These projects stimulated the housing construction in the surrounding areas. However, in 2006, Both private and public investment declined and slowdown which decrease cement demand. The overall demand for 2006 was approximately 27.5 million tons, two percent lower than 2005. The major reasons for declining investment were: 1. Delays in government mega projects 2. High inflation and interest rates 3. Increase in oil prices which resulted in higher costs 4. Decline in local and foreign investors as a result of political uncertainty 5. Heavy flooding in many parts of Thailand which led to a stoppage in construction Additional to a decline in cement demand, the competition in the industry was also lifted to another level. In 2006, there was a new cement producer, with production capacity of around one million tons per annum. Consequently, the total annual industry production capacity increased from the previous year to approximately 56.3 million tons. With fierce competition, decline in demand and the entering of a new player, the industry has focused upon various issues as follows: 1. Product: Continued product development and quality enhancement to satisfy each customer segment and needs. 2. Price: Pricing remained very competitive despite the increase of production costs. 3. Place: Continued modernisation of distribution with special emphasis on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Modern Tradeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concept was the trend. 4. Promotion: Wide spread advertisements through TV, radio and press is a common fashion of the industry. However there was no new significant trend.

Export With a country total production capacity (No.1 in ASEAN), and slowdown in the domestic demand, Thai producers had to push ahead in the export market to better utilise installed capacity. The major export destinations were USA, ASEAN countries, Bangladesh and the UAE.

Cement Market 2007 Domestic demand for 2007 is expected to see little change from 2006. Although there will be increase in demand from renovation of infrastructure and housing damaged by flooding, the new housing and property sector may shrink due to reduction in confidence. Thailand Mega Projects, such as the Mass Transit system in Bangkok, are not expected to start before late 2007. The export market remains very important for Thai producers. However, it is expected that major markets such as the USA may show a drop in demand due to a slow down in the housing market. Export competition will remain strong. China will remain the main competitor. Thai producers have emphasised the importance of cost controls, product quality and productivity in order to remain competitive.

Risk Factor and Risk Management As for risk factors for 2006, please refer to ‘Report of the Executive Committee’ - page 12 The Company would like to report on business risk management systems as follows: In general, there are three risk management perspectives

1. Risk Management: Financial Risk Management, Operational Risk Management 2. Business Risk Management: Considering and covering risks relevant to the business e.g. market conditions, finance and human resources 3. Enterprise Risk Management: Focusing on alignment of strategy, processes, people, technology and knowledge on an enterprise - wide basis Therefore, in 2000, the Company established a business risk management function with an aim to assess and to manage potential business risks that might affect the Company and its subsidiaries, in line with international standards. The unit also coordinates with the Company’s management and operational team to establish a preventive measurement and contingency plan and to report this risk management activity to executives on a regular basis. Risk assessment and management studies across the Company and its subsidiaries are conducted every year, taking into consideration possible factors over the next five years. A control and follow-up report is issued on a periodic basis. Risks are categorised into two types risk for the entire corporation and risk for each type of business line. Risk for the entire corporation concerns macro environment, law and regulation, finance, business support, planning, human resources and corporate image. Risks for each type of business line comprises ten aspects including industry, market conditions, law, finance, planning, costs, marketing management, impact on the environment, human resources and corporate social responsibility. The significance of business risk management is taken into account by the Company during business planning and it is incorporated as one of the factors in the planning process. The aim of the business planning is to develop a risk mitigation plan, a plan for increased business opportunities, and to align strategies and actions from every function in order to achieve the Company’s goals and promote its vision.

The Company wishes to report on compliance status of SET’s good corporate governance guidelines as follows:

To ensure that all shareholders are afforded equal treatment and provided equal documentation, the Company assigned Thailand Securities Depository Co., Ltd. to act as its registrar, distribute dividends and documents to shareholders on its behalf. It also encourages shareholders unable to attend shareholders’ meetings to exercise votes in their absence through appointing their representatives. If shareholders are unable to attend they may appoint the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Audit Committee as their proxy-holder. In the last three years, on average about 78 per-cent of total shareholders have participated in shareholders’ meetings, either in person, or by proxy-holders. Aiming to give all shareholders equal rights when it comes to such decisions, the Company has always given shareholders advance notice of agenda items due to be raised at the meetings.

Shareholders may, through written correspondence or via the Company website (www.siamcitycement.com), learn about subjects to be raised at the annual shareholders' meetings.

To The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Siam City Cement Public Company Limited I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Siam City Cement Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2006, the related consolidated income statements, statements of changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the separate financial statements of Siam City Cement Public Company Limited for the same year. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management as to their correctness and the completeness of the presentation. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. The consolidated financial statements of Siam City Cement Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries, and the separate financial statements of Siam City Cement Public Company Limited for the year ended 31 December 2005, as presented herein for comparative purpose, were audited by another auditor of our firm who, under his report dated 9 February 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit 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 statements presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, the aforementioned financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Siam City Cement Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries and of Siam City Cement Public Company Limited as at 31 December 2006, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

5.10 Operating lease Lease of assets where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor and classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are recognized as expenses to the income statements over the period of the lease. 5.11 Foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies incurred during the year are translated into Baht at the rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency outstanding at the balance sheet date are translated into Baht at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are included in determining earnings. 5.12 Impairment of assets The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. 5.13 Employee benefits The Company and its employees have jointly established a provident fund. The fund is monthly contributed to by employees and by the Company. The Company’s contributions are recognised as expenses when incurred. The Company has provided a retirement benefit plan which includes a resignation plan and a long service award for employees. The Company’s contributions are recognised as expenses when incurred. The provident fund liability and the reserve for retirement benefit plan are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using a discount rate that is similar to the interest rate on government bonds. A professionally qualified independent actuary values the fund’s liability and certain obligations on regular basis. 5.14 Corporate Income Tax a) Current tax The Company calculates corporate income tax in accordance with the Royal Decree as empowered under the Revenue Code concerning state revenue rate reduction No. 387 B.E. 2544 dated 5 September 2001.

Deferred Tax Deferred income tax is calculated based on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, by using the enacted tax rate at the balance sheet date. The Company recognises deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences and recognises deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and tax losses carried forward. The Company recognises deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which such deductible temporary differences and tax losses carried forward can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews and reduces the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.

5.15 Financial instruments Financial instruments presented in the balance sheets consist of cash and cash at bank, accounts receivable, accounts payable and loans. The accounting policy is separately disclosed in the related notes. The Company and its subsidiaries have no policy to engage in the trading of any derivative financial instruments. 5.16 Earnings per share Earnings per share as presented in the income statements is the basic earnings per share which is determined by dividing the net profit for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year. No disclosure of diluted earnings per share for the year is required as the Company has no potential ordinary shares. 5.17 Use of accounting estimates Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates for certain accounting transactions, affecting amounts reported in the financial statements and notes thereto. Subsequent actual results may differ from these estimates. 6.

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 28 April 2005 approved the allocation of Baht 2,985.4 million from the unappropriated retained earnings as of 1 January 2005 to reserve for treasury shares according to SEC requirement.

The period for the repurchase of the shares was from 14 July 2006 to 20 December 2006 and the resale period is from 21 June 2007 to 20 December 2009 (6 months after the completion date of the share repurchase and not later than 3 years from this time). In the event that the Company does not or is unable to dispose of all repurchased shares within the set period, when the due date has passed the Company is to reduce its paid-up capital by cancellation of any remaining unsold shares.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial risk management and policies The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to risks from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates and risks from nonperformance of contractual obligations by counterparties. The Company and its subsidiaries have no policy to use derivatives to manage interest rate risk and foreign currency risk because the Company and its subsidiaries consider that their financial assets and liabilities carry interest rates which will be fluctuated in line with market rates, and will reach repricing or maturity dates in the near future or are short-term in nature. The Company and its subsidiaries purchase and sells their products in the same foreign currency and have a policy to balance the receipt and payment of such currency in order to minimize the exposure of foreign currency risk. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries have a policy of entering into contracts with creditworthy counterparties. Therefore, it does not expect any material financial losses to be arisen from that the counterparties will fail to discharge their obligations as stipulated in the financial instruments contracts. The Company and its subsidiaries have no policy to hold or issue derivatives for speculative or trading purpose. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that future fluctuations in market interest rates will affect the operating results and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company and its subsidiaries consider itself no interest rate risk because the Company and its subsidiaries have most of the financial assets and liabilities carrying floating interest rate which will fluctuate in line with the market interest rates and are short-term. The details of long-term loan to subsidiaries and short-term and long-term loans from financial institutions are set out in Note 13, 18 and 20. Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has a foreign currency risk in respect of the purchase/ sales transactions. The Company manages its exposure to foreign currency risk by balancing net position of receipt and payment of the foreign currency transactions in each period. However, the Company believes that foreign currency risk will have no material effect to their operational results and the Company therefore do not use derivative financial instruments to hedges this risk. As at 31 December 2006, outstanding balances of the Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are as follows :-

Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to credit risk primarily with respect to trade accounts receivable. The Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management controls such risk by establishing credit limits for customers and counter parties and analysing their financial position as an ongoing basis. As a result, the Company and its subsidiaries do not expect to incur material financial losses. The Company and its subsidiaries are not exposed to concentrations of credit risk because it has a variety of customer base and large number of customers. The maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of trade accounts receivable as stated in the balance sheet. Fair value Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s length transaction. Methodology of fair value measurement depends upon characteristics of the financial instruments. For the financial instruments which are regarded as traded in an active market, fair value has been determined by the latest quoted market price. If however the appropriate quoted market price cannot be determined, the fair value is determined using an appropriate valuation technique such as discounted cash flow. Since major financial assets and financial liabilities are short-term in nature, loans to and loans from of which the interest rate is approximate to the market rate, the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented as the amount stated in the balance sheet.
