1. Business overview Advanced Info Services Plc. (AIS) is the leading mobile operator in Thailand. Our core businesses include domestic mobile services, international direct dialling (IDD) services, and international roaming services. In 2014, we registered more than 44 million subscribers and generated 52% of market share by revenue. In the following year, we will provide fixed-broadband to deliver convergence service to customers as their behaviour is moving forward to digital life. AIS currently operates mobile service on both 2G and 3G technologies. The 2G service is operated on the 900MHz and 1800MHz frequency under the Built-Transfer-Operate contracts with TOT and CAT, expiring in 2015 and 2013,* respectively. The commercial launch of 3G services on the 2.1GHz spectrum started in May 2013 under a 15-year license issued by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC). Today the 3G service is available nationwide, covering 97% of population, and we are continuing on building 3G capacity to support the increasing demand of data usage. Our sustainable business strategy focuses on transforming from “Telecom service provider” to “Digital life service provider” to suit the lifestyle of people in digital era. There are three elements that we are focusing on. First, we continue to expand and develop 3G&4G mobile network to prepare for the growing demand of mobile data. Second, we will provide fixed-broadband service, as behaviour of customers are shifting toward “always connected” whether they are in or out of their premises. Last, AIS will find and develop new digital contents under partnership model such as games, financial transactions and M2M.

Remark: * 1800MHz BTO contract expired in 2013 and the NBTC issued a temporary measure to enforce service continuation until July 2015

2.3 Distribution Channels AIS believes in the “Ecosystem” business approach of building interactive communities to develop the telecommunications industry towards sustainable growth. As the touch points through which AIS transfers services to its consumer, distribution channels are considered a key factor in promoting the company’s strategy in addition to providing customers with access to our goods and services. In developing the ecosystem strategy, AIS has maintained good relationships with our distributors, broadened our distribution channels across all regions of the country, and provided a variety of distribution channels to satisfy the lifestyles of all our customers. Today, 97% of all AIS distribution is handled by agents who are highly capable in their business activities and able to provide continuous customer care. The selection criteria for choosing our agents and dealers include both location and past performance, including financial status. This is especially so for provincial dealers who must be familiar with the area as well as being successful businessmen in order to build trust and deliver quality services to our customers. The details of the various types of AIS dealer are as follows: 

Distribution though Agents 1. “Telewiz” Dealers AIS has over 100 Telewiz dealers and more than 450 Telewiz and Telewiz Plus stores throughout the country. Each of these agents has the right to distribute AIS goods and services, including the right to provide monthly registration services. GSM Advance provides registration related services, and serves as a channel for processing service payment and any other expenses. In addition to revenue from sales in general, the Telewiz dealer receives remuneration from customers’ registering to use the mobile telephone services of AIS, as well as financial support for marketing activities at the rate set by AIS. AIS sets the conditions and controls the quality and standards of services provided, including the dealer operating guidelines, such as selecting and developing sites, advertising and promotions, and the provision of various services in order to maintain the company’s standards. In 2014, AIS was committed to enhancing the customer experience in a number of way. Customers buying a new phone were given the opportunity to use and sample various popular smartphones before making a decision to buy them, while customers who bought a new phone were given the opportunity to transfer data such as phone numbers, photos, messages, and music from their original phone to their new device using innovative software from Cellebrite. Enhancements were also made to facilitate the process for customers who receive services through the queue system and payment kiosk. 2. Advanced Distribution Partnership (ADP) The Advanced Distribution Partnership (ADP) selects and supports Telewiz dealers and dealers in general who have demonstrated high potential in distributing goods in their area and who have a healthy financial status. In order to promote the efficient delivery of products through the Advanced Retail Shops in their area, these selected dealers receive assistance that includes support for marketing activities in their area and special administrative remuneration from AIS. 3. Advanced Retail Shops (ARS) Advanced Retail Shops are key outposts which distribute goods directly to the customer. Currently there are over 25,000 shops and this number is continually increasing in line with the expansion of local communities across the country. In addition to profits from sales of SIM cards and top-up cards, these shops also receive payments directly from AIS for meeting certain targets. 4. 3G Service Point Dealers AIS has now also opened the “AIS Service Point”, a new distribution channel focusing on network upgrades from 2G to 3G, coupled with increased capability of selling other AIS goods and services. Dealers providing these goods and services receive additional remuneration from AIS compared to Part 1 | Page 11

general Advanced Retail Shops and are selected from those running Advanced Retail Shops across the country which have demonstrated high potential. The aim is to expand the number of 3G Service Point Dealers to 1,000 nationwide. 5. Key Accounts and Modern Trade AIS distributes a variety of goods and services, including processing payments, through large dealers with their own branches or stores throughout the country (Chain Stores). These include Jay Mart, TG, Bangkok Telecom, CSC, and various modern trade retailers, such as Tesco Lotus, Big C, Power Buy, and the 7/11 group as well as IT accessory sales channels and IT retail groups, such as iStudio, iBeat, Banana IT, Com7, and IT City. In total, these channels number more than 50 dealers with over 10,000 branches spread across the country. This year AIS has also increased the number of AIS Promoters to 300 people who continuously recommend AIS products and services to customers. 

Electronic Distribution Channels AIS encourages its dealers to provide 1-2-Call! prepaid service users with online money top-up services, adding extra convenience for AIS customers who can top up with a minimum of 10 Baht as opposed to the minimum cash top up cards of 50 Baht. In addition to this, AIS is continuously developing new top up methods through Electronic Distribution Channels, such as through automatic top up machines, ATMs, mobile banking, the internet, and mPay. AIS currently offers Electronic Distribution Channels at over 400,000 points. Electronic top-ups have also proven to be highly popular with AIS customers, accounting for over 80% of all top ups, which has helped reduce the costs of producing pre-paid top up and cash top up cards.

Direct Distribution To optimize distribution channels to be able to offer goods and services to customers directly, AIS has increased the number of direct sales distribution channels. This has been achieved by selecting from dealers who have the capacity and expertise in each area, and by appointing an AIS Direct Sales team to support the future growth and expansion of the market, as well as by providing distribution through more than 68 AIS service centres.

2.4 Customer Relation Management and Customer Experience Catering to the rapid growth of the smartphone market and the wide adoption of 3G-2.1GHz, AIS continues to move forward in providing service excellence for the new digital era. Expanding to 68 locations nationwide this year, AIS Shop has been reinvented as an "Experience Center”. With a new design and a new concept. AIS Shop aims to serve as a one-stop shop for a complete digital lifestyle by providing smartphone gurus and a variety of service innovations. In addition to the recent payment kiosks and smart tables, other new initiatives for self-service convenience this year include the “Service Vending Kiosk.” The first of its kind in Thailand, this pioneering service provides such leading features as lucky number and pretty number selection with new SIM purchases, the ability to request the same number for a new SIM, a SIM size change service for different devices, online registration for prepaid users, and 3G upgrade for all SIM types, with many more features to come. The kiosk is currently available in 40 AIS Shops nationwide. Also this year, 251 members of staff have been developed into smartphone gurus and experts, ready to provide professional, helpful and caring assistance to AIS customers. The Advanced Contact Center (ACC) also continues to invest in service innovation. New initiatives this year include the "Dynamic IVR Menu Service," the automated voice response system that can be customized to suit the customer’s usage and profile. For example, the system can recommend the most appropriate internet package based on the customer’s actual usage and it can automatically greet customers by their name for a truly personalized greeting. New technological developments have significantly increased ACC’s capability to accommodate inbound call volume, up by 12% from last year, with IVR now accounting for 72% of all call services. Revenues generated from VAS and Internet package subscriptions via IVR are also 40% higher than last year, with the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) for IVR service increasing from 64% to 67% YoY.

In addition, AIS has opened up a new dimension in engaging customers via digital channels this year by launching a new official "LINE" account, “AIS Privilege," delivering selected privileges aimed at all lifestyles right to the customer’s device. The account has been very well-received, with a total of 8.06 million “friends” already enjoying attractive monthly surprise campaigns, such as a free Sundae at McDonald’s, free Pretzel at Auntie Anne’s, or free beverages at Black Canyon. AIS is also the first Thai operator to launch animated stickers giving our customers the opportunity to share colorful and playful messages with each other on social media. We also provide a special reward campaign for our valued customers under the theme, "Aunjai Year 6, Double Reward: Win Gold & Redeem Points”. This year, “AIS Serenade” celebrated its 10th year anniversary by launching two new dimensions to enhance the exclusivity offered to AIS Serenade customers. Firstly, AIS Serenade has expanded its customer base with a brand new privilege segment, “Serenade Emerald,” for customers with a minimum service period of 6 months and a spending average of at least 900 Baht per month. Secondly, AIS Serenade has opened up an opportunity for non-Serenade customers to enjoy the Serenade experience with “Serenade Group Privilege”. A Serenade Group can be formed of up to 3 mobile numbers with a combined group spending of 3,000 Baht or more for Platinum, 1,500 Baht or more for Gold, or 900 Baht or more for Emerald. In recognition of its unique service innovations, Advanced Contact Center (ACC) was awarded "The Most Innovative Implementation of Automatic Service in IVR 2014," at the AVAYA User Conference, USA (awarded May 2014), and “Best Customer Experience Management of the Year 2013," at the Asia Pacific Customer Service Consortium (APCSC), Hong Kong (awarded Sep 2014). 2.5 Industry condition and competition in 2014 and trend in 2015 Industry and competition in 2014 The year 2014 is the second year in which mobile operators have been providing services on the 2.1GHz spectrum under the licensing scheme, in addition to other spectra which are under the BTO agreements for operations. Operators have been attracting customers to the 2.1GHz spectrum which are run for both 3G and 4G. There has been a concentration in marketing campaigns to encourage customers, particularly the mid- to low-tier segments, to adopt 3G-enabled handsets. To support that, operators started to bring in various handsets costing less than THB5,000 to the market. As these new mid-tier handsets were successfully sold, operators found that the market was more urging to be online -- data uptake has tripled in 1 year--than concerning about handsets' brands. However, from the heightened competition, ARPU trends of all operators are sloping downward from the decrease in price per unit and more package-bundled discounted handsets. With the effect from political uncertainties during the first half of the year, the overall industry grew less than 2%. Regulatory issue in 2014 has been the key moving and debatable factor. In July 2014, there was a postponement of the 1800MHz and 900MHz spectra, which caused a one-year extension of the 1800MHz remedy period until July 2015. The remedy period was for the continuity in providing services to protect public benefits and to seamlessly secure customers subscription while the spectra are to be allocated. Mobile industry trend in 2015 The competition is expected to remain intense as operators continue to launch campaigns to attract customers to use 3G. Cheaper 3G-enabled smartphones and featured phones bundling with persuasive packages to encourage 3G adoption will approach the low end customers which are the majority of the country. However, it is expected that operators will maintain rational pricing while keeping improving their networks to serve the strong data consumption growth. Beside capacity investments, operators will also seek partners to supply more digital contents, which will generate a new form of revenue, to foster the digital life. In addition, we expect that the NBTC will hold the delayed auction midst 2015 on both 1800MHz, which has been under the remedy period, and 900MHz which will expire in September 2015. The auction will develop new dynamics in the industry as operators will be able to invest in 4G in addition to the current 3G services. We also expect that proportion of 4G-enabled handsets will be about 10% of new handset sales next year. The investments in network expansion from the auction will not only benefit customers from more advanced and better services, but will also create more job opportunities and higher income in the telecom and other related industries. This will drive the country forward to reach a new technology horizon so as to enhance the country’s competitive edge. Part 1 | Page 13

2.6 Business Direction over the next 3-5 years Over the next 3-5 years, the behavior shift of consumers toward digital lifestyle will change the face of telecom business in Thailand from today. Customers will easily and quickly reach news, information, and entertainment media to fulfill their needs in many ways through more advanced services and networks provided by operators. For AIS, we find this as a compelling opportunity to transform ourselves to be a “Digital Life Service Provider” who focuses on servicing the always-connected lifestyle via our quality networks -- our strong core fundamental. To achieve that, we put an emphasis on 3 key strategic elements: mobile services, fixed broadband services, and digital contents. Mobile services remain our core business Currently, mobile penetration in Thailand has climbed up to 140% and is expected to grow further with the acceleration of data adoption. This drives AIS’ determination to continuously enhance our 3G-2.1GHz capacity to serve the rapid increase in customer usage. The change toward digital consumption also means the 4G technology will become more prevalent in the near future. This prescribes the importance of additional spectrum requirements, in particular the 1800MHz and 900MHz that will soon be available for auction. Strengthening mobile with fixed broadband In early 2015, AIS will start a fixed broadband business, providing internet to households to respond to customer usage both in and out of homes. AIS can leverage from extensive amounts of high-quality fiber optics (FTTx) nationwide deployed under 3G-2.1GHz network, which can provide higher speeds on both upload and download. As the market penetration remains low, this business will develop into a new important source of revenue for AIS as we plan to become one of the major providers in the market. Ultimately, this business will create defensive value to our large subscriber base of mobile business going forward. Creating various innovations via digital contents A variety in digital contents will be an essential propeller for AIS as a Digital Life Service Provider. Digital contents will be a medium from which we can generate a new form of revenue, differing from the current voice and data services. AIS will focus on partnering with various content providers such as football broadcasting and reading platform contents to support creating an integrated digital environment. This will change the ordinary way of data consumption unprecedentedly. Due to the accelerating data uptake trend, it is a crucial indication for AIS to seek new and interesting contents to serve high-demand customers. This will include not only entertainment media but also games, cloud computing, online financial transactions and machine to machine services, which will certainly elevate the modern daily lifestyle. AIS will emphasize on 3 key dimensions. 1) Customers, who are our highest priority to run the business. We target to get our customer to “love” us through our quality and privileges we tenderly offer. 2) People. We would like to motivate our people to constantly self-improve and adapt a new working culture to become dynamic, imaginative, and delighted. All of which is to achieve extraordinary results and breakthrough solutions. 3) Partners. AIS really puts importance on “Ecosystem” to reach multi ability-enriched telecom collaboration. With our large subscriber base, our partners will be able to exercise their expertise to match our customers’ needs, which will sustainably bring growth to both AIS and our partners. These are new foundations of AIS to become the front-running organization providing digital life services. Growth to be seen over the next 3-5 years is our long-term engagement. We keep committing our philosophy “Q-DNAs” which is to deliver quality devices via our best national-wide network with innovative applications and services through our fundamental of “quality”. 2.7 Procurement of Products and Services AIS currently operates 2G technology on 900/1800MHz** spectrum and 3G technology on 2.1GHz spectrum. For 900/1800MHz spectrum, the company has been granted the permission from TOT and CAT respectively, under the Agreement for operation to operate and service Cellular Mobile Telephone. For 2100MHz spectrum, the company has been granted permission from the Office of the National Broadcasting Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), under the license certificate to operate and service

In December 2012, Advanced Wireless Network Company limited, 99.99% owned by AIS, was granted the license to operate 2.1GHz spectrum from the NBTC. We selected key network equipment from the leading international vendors including Nokia-Siemens, Huawei and ZTE. AIS provides worldwide international roaming services with more than 356 international operators in all continents and international direct dialing (IDD) services for international call from Thailand to foreign countries. We also join hands with the world’s leading manufacturers e.g. Samsung, Apple, Nokia, Acer, Huawei, Blackberry, HTC, LG and LAVA to ensure the availability and variety of proper handsets in Thai market. AIS cooperates with digital contents developers to support diverse customers’ lifestyles. In addition, we developed incubation program which help strengthen content developers skills. The revenue from the contents will be subjected to revenue sharing scheme. 2.8 Work under progress -None-

3. Risk factors AIS has established a proactive risk management plan to ensure that the Company continues to be viable even in unpredictable situations. As such, AIS has set up the Risk Management Committee, comprised of senior executives and the Chairman of AIS, who acts as Chairman of the committee. The committee meets on a quarterly basis in order to discuss and classify the risks to the entire organisation and to set up a precautionary action plan to manage risks at an acceptable level. The aim of such measures is to ensure that AIS achieves set targets and maintains the confidence of the shareholders and interested individuals. The Risk Management Committee submits the results of its risk management analysis to the Executive Committee, the Audit Committee, and the Board of Directors every quarter. Further detail of risk management are shown in “Risk management, Internal control, and Internal audit�, page 30. In 2014, the factors which were identified as a risk to operational results are summarised as follows: 1. Risks from Regulatory and Government Policies 1.1 The Jointly Undertaken Work Agreement between State Enterprise and Private Sectors under the Private Participation in State Undertaking Work ACT B.E. 2535. The Amendment of the Jointly Undertaken Work Agreement between Advanced Info Service Public Company Limited (the Company) and TOT Public Company Limited (TOT). As per the letter from the Ministry of Information Technology and Communications requesting the opinion of the Council of State on whether the amendments to the Cellular Mobile Telephone Service Agreement (the Agreement) between TOT and the Company after enforcement of the Private Participation in State Undertaken Work ACT B.E. 2535 have been made in line with the said Act and, if such amendments do not conform with the said Act, what course of action should be taken; consequently, the Council of State presented its opinion in a Memorandum which could be summarized as indicating that the Amendments of the Agreement were not legitimately carried out under the Private Participation in State Undertaken Work ACT due to the lack of submission to the Coordinating Committee for consideration under Article 22 and to the Cabinet as the authority in charge of the approval. However, the amendment procedures of the Agreement which represent administrative juristic acts are capable of being separated from the amendments to the Agreement and those amendments to the Agreement are still in force so long as they are not rescinded or invalidated by virtue of time or by other conditions. However, if the amendments of the Agreement of the Company are revoked, this may result in a shortening of the term of the Agreement and/or a higher prepaid revenue share. Nonetheless, the Company firmly believes in the principles and the grounds of the amendments of the Agreement and the Company has fully complied with the Jointly Undertaken Work Agreement and all related laws including the principles of good governance. Thus, the Company believes that there shall be no material change which shall have an impact on the Company. 1.2 Disputes relating to Excise Tax (1) The Case between Advanced Info Service Public Company Limited (the Company) and TOT Public Company Limited (TOT) On 22 January 2008, TOT submitted a dispute (Case No. Black 9/2551) to the Arbitration Institute, Alternative Dispute Resolution Office, and the Office of the Judiciary, demanding that the Company pay additional revenue share of for Baht 31,463 million. On 20 May 2011, the Arbitral Tribunal unanimously resolved to dismiss the disputes citing the reason which can be summarized as the Company had lawfully paid the revenue share. Therefore, the Company has not committed a breach of the agreement and the Company does not have to pay any additional revenue share to TOT. Consequently, TOT has submitted an application to the Central Administrative Court to set aside the award of the Arbitral Tribunal. At present, the case is pending the consideration of the Central Administrative Court; the trial process may take several years to conclude. If the Company loses this case, it may be obliged to pay TOT as demanded. However, the Management of the company firmly believes that this case shall reach a positive conclusion since the amount of revenue share was the same amount of excise tax paid by the Company which the Arbitral Tribunal had taken into consideration when unanimously deciding to dismiss the case.

(2) The Case between Digital Phone Company Limited (DPC), a subsidiary of the Company, and CAT Telecom Public Company Limited (CAT) CAT submitted a dispute (Case no. Black 3/2551) to the Arbitration Institute, Alternative Dispute Resolution Office, and Office of the Judiciary, demanding DPC, a subsidiary of the Company, pay additional revenue share of Baht 2,449 million under the Digital PCN (Personal Communication Network) Agreement plus penalty at the rate of 1.25 percent per month of the unpaid amount for each year calculated from the default date until full payment totalling Baht 3,410 million is made. Such claimed amount is equal to the amount of excise tax DPC paid between 16 September 2003 and 15 September 2007, and was deducted from the revenue share pursuant to the resolution of the cabinet on 11 February 2003 as is the standard practice of the telecommunications industry. On 1 March 2011, the Arbitral Tribunal resolved to dismiss the dispute citing the reason which can be summarized as the original debt had been completely paid and settled. Thus, DPC has not committed any breach and CAT cannot re-claim the alleged deficit amount, including the penalty and the value added tax. Consequently, CAT submitted a request to the Central Administrative Court to set aside the award of the Arbitral Tribunal; the procedure can take several years to conclude. If DPC loses the case, it may be obliged to pay CAT as demanded. However, the management of the Company firmly believes that this case shall reach a positive conclusion since the revenue share demanded by CAT is equal to the amount of excise tax which has already been paid by the Company according to the unanimous resolution of the Arbitral Tribunal, which dismissed the dispute. 1.3 Dispute over revenue sharing from Interconnection Charge According to the Telecommunication Business Act B.E. 2544 and the Notification of NTC regarding the Use and Interconnection of Telecommunication Networks B.E. 2549, the Company has the responsibility to enter into interconnection agreements with other operators. The Company offered to provide remuneration to TOT for such interconnections, which was calculated from the net income according to the rate and calculating method of the Company. However, TOT required the Company to pay revenue share calculated from the gross amount of interconnection charges received by the Company at the rate specified in the Agreement without deduction of interconnection charges which the Company has to pay to other operators. On 26 January 2011, TOT sent a letter demanding that the Company pay the revenue share of the interconnection charges of the concession years 17-20 in the amount of Baht 17,803 million plus interest at the rate of 1.25 percent per month. However, the Company disagreed and sent a letter opposing the said claim to TOT and submitted the dispute to the Dispute Reconciliation Office, Arbitration Institute ref. no. Black 19/2554 on 9 March 2011 requesting the Arbitral Tribunal to award that TOT has no right to claim for such revenue share. At present, the case is pending consideration of the Arbitral Tribunal and may take several years to conclude. If the Company loses the case, it may be obliged to pay TOT as demanded. However, the management of the Company firmly believes that the resolution of the Arbitral Tribunal will reach a positive conclusion for the Company since it has fully complied with the law. 1.4 Dispute between Digital Phone Company Limited (DPC), a subsidiary of the Company, and CAT Telecom Public Company Limited (CAT) regarding the reduction of roaming charges between DPC and the Company. Digital Phone Company Limited (DPC) submitted a dispute (Case no. Black 27/2553) to the Alternative Dispute Resolution Office, the Thai Arbitration Institute, requesting that the Arbitration Panel set aside the allegation of CAT that DPC was in breach of agreement on the grounds that the agreement was made without approval from CAT and would terminate the agreement as stated in a letter dated 6 January 2010, and demanding that CAT pay compensation of Baht 50 million to DPC. On 15 July 2010, CAT submitted a dispute (Case no. Black 62/2553) to the Arbitration Institute, demanding that DPC pay additional remuneration for concession years 10-12 to the amount of Baht 2,000 million plus penalty calculated from April 2010 incurred due to the reduction by DPC of the roaming charge rate between DPC - the Company from Baht 2.10 to Baht 1.10 during the period of 1 April 2007 - 31 December 2008 without the approval of CAT. Furthermore, on 1 September 2011, CAT submitted a further dispute of the concession year 12 (1 April 2009-15 June 2009) to the Arbitration Institute, Alternative Dispute Resolution Office, and the Office of the

Part 1 | Page 17

2014

Judiciary (Case no. Black 89/2554) for the amount of Baht 113,211,582.68. Later, the Arbitration Institute ordered that all three disputes be considered together and, at present, such disputes are pending consideration of the Arbitral Tribunal which may take several years to conclude. If DPC loses the case, DPC may be obliged to pay CAT as demanded. However, the management of the Company believes that the ruling of the Arbitration Panel of this case shall decide in favour of DPC as DPC had informed CAT of the application of the roaming rate of Baht 1.10 per minute in July 2006, to which CAT had given written approval of such application for the period until March 2007 and had also given additional approval during the period of January 2009 to March 2009. In addition, CAT had never sent any refusal or objection to DPC during the disputed periods. The roaming rate at Baht 1.10 per minute is also in conformity with market conditions where the rate of service charge had been lowered from the previous higher roaming service charge rate. Besides, DPC had also entered into a roaming agreement with the Company using the rate of Baht 1.10 per minute as approved by the NTC. 1.5 Dispute between Digital Phone Company Limited (DPC), a subsidiary of the Company, and CAT Telecom Public Company Limited on Tower and Power Supply ownership CAT submitted a dispute (Case no. Black 8/2552) to the Arbitration Institute, Alternative Dispute Resolution Office, demanding that DPC deliver and transfer ownership of 3,343 Towers including 2,653 units of Power Supply equipment under the terms and conditions of the Digital PCN (Personal Communication Network) Agreement. After DPC failed to do so, CAT demanded that DPC pay Baht 2,230 million to CAT as compensation. DPC considers that all disputed Towers and Power Supply equipment are not included under the definition of equipment as stipulated in clause 2.1 of the Agreement of which DPC is obligated to deliver and transfer under the terms and conditions of the Agreement. The Arbitrary Tribunal unanimously resolved to dismiss all of the disputes citing the reason which can be summarised as the right of CAT to demand that DPC deliver properties which are objects of the contract cannot be exercised until 60 days after expiration of the contract. Therefore, the submission of the dispute by CAT is premature. Consequently, CAT has submitted a request to the Central Administrative Court to set aside the award of the Arbitral Tribunal. At present, the case is pending consideration of the Central Administrative Court which may take several years to conclude. Additionally, the Company considered this case as high value and if DPC loses the case, it will be obligated to pay CAT as demanded. However, in consideration of the aforementioned arguments, the management of the Company’s firmly believes that the case shall reach a positive conclusion. 1.6 Dispute Case with TOT regarding the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) of AIS’ subscribers transferring to Advanced Wireless Network Company Limited (“AWN”) as the affiliate of AIS On September 25, 2014, TOT Public Company Limited ("TOT") submitted the dispute (Black Case No. 80/2557) to the Arbitration Institute, Alternative Dispute Resolution Office, demanding the Company to pay liquidated damages commencing from the date of submission of the dispute in the amount of Baht 9,126 million, plus interest at the rate of 7.5 percent per annum including the legal fees and expenses for the arbitration process by claiming that such damage was caused by the Company to transfer its subscriber operated under 900MHz to 2100MHz system of AWN on the ground that the Company breach the Cellular Mobile Telephone Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) between TOT and the Company. Now the dispute in the arbitration proceedings, the management of the Company firmly believes that the outcome of the dispute is unlikely to have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company and the Company has fully complied under the Agreement in all respects. 1.7 Dispute Case regarding the Companies cannot perform to collect all Prepaid Scribers Information of the Company under NBTC Notification regarding Prepaid Identification According to the National Broadcasting Telecommunications Commission (“NBTC”) ordered all mobile operator operated per-paid service including the Company must collect and record all information of all Prepaid Subscribers within the specific of time and subsequently issued an order requiring an administrative fine in the amount of Baht 80,000 per day to the Company and the major 2 mobile phone operators in this telecommunication industry from July 6, 2012 until fully comply with the said order because all 3 operators have not yet fully complied with the said

order. The Company has filed to the Administrative Court for the revocation of 2 NBTC Orders as the Black Case No. 1858/2554 and Black Case No. 252/2556, respectively, is now being considered by the Administrative Court. In case that the Company loses the case, the Company may have to pay an administrative fine of Baht 80,000 per day, from July 6, 2012 until the date that the Company can comply with the said order of the NBTC. However, the managements of the Company believe that this dispute would be resolved in a good way due to the NBTC and all mobile operators had a common effort to record all prepaid subscribers information to facilitate the telecommunication business according to such order. Eventually NBTC and all mobile operators including the Company already developed 2 Snap Shot Applications for registration of Prepaid Subscriber through distributors channel on top of filling out the registration form and recording a copy of the identity card which such information will be sent to system and networks of mobile operators. 2.Risk to administration 2.1 Risk to IT security With advanced technology, the service users can access their desired data via the internet from anywhere in the world and make financial transactions on mobile phones. The technological advancements allow consumers to have extra data storage capacity in addition to traditional computer memory, such as through Cloud computing, which results in a rise in the risk of data leakage. AIS has placed emphasis on preventing threats to information security. As such, the Company has established policy on the security of its computer information systems and technology, and implemented procedures for receiving-transmitting the Company’s data via portable devices through Exchange ActiveSync so as to enforce the executives and employees at all levels in the organization to comply. Training courses have been provided and information shared with employees on their computer screens so as to promote continued awareness. Data security risk assessment has been performed for important systems in accordance with the Company’s plan so as to prevent possible risk from information theft or system failure. In addition, AIS has implemented ISO 27001-Information Security Management in order to ensure Company’s data security from people, processes and procedures. Including systematic and adequate information security management system.

8.2.1 Criteria and procedure for director nomination 1. The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying and selecting qualified candidates to be appointed by the Board of Directors or proposed through the Board of Directors for election at the shareholders’ meetings in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association. To identify director candidates, the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee may use the following sources: - Nominations made by minority shareholders of qualified candidates for election as directors; - Recommendations from current board members and professional search firms; - The IOD director pool; 2. The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for annually reviewing the skills and characteristics required of directors in the light of the Board of Directors’ compositions and the Company’s current and future business directions. The Committee must develop a skill matrix to identify gaps in the Board of Directors’ current profile and make recommendations accordingly. In conducting this review, the Committee will also consider required skills and capabilities as well as diversity in term of skills, experience, knowledge, independence, age, and gender. 3. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee will consider relevant factors such as the director’s performance, history of attendance at and participation in meetings, and other contributions to the activities undertaken by the Board of Directors. In the case of independent directors, their respective independence qualifications shall also be considered. The appointment of the Board members shall comply with the Company’s Articles of Association and all relevant laws. Selection of the directors shall be transparent and clear. 4.

In the case of a vacancy in the position of director, for reasons other than the completion of the term, the Board of Directors shall appoint a new director, with the required qualifications, and without any characteristics that would prohibit him/her from acting as director, to serve as a new director in the next board meeting, excluding such case where the remaining term is less than two months.

14. Management discussion and analysis 14.1 Management discussion and analysis for the year 2014 Executive Summary In 2014, AIS succeeded in building up 3G-2.1GHz network in both coverage and capacity. Since May, our 3G network has 97% population coverage and by year-end with 21,300 3G2.1GHz base stations surpassing our target of 20,000 base stations. With the growing demand for mobile data, we continued to enhance our network capacity especially in the dense areas to uplift customers’ experience by installing small cells as well as Wifi hot spots. AIS has been gaining the market share since the first quarter and we are keeping our pace by strengthening our network, services and contents. Our service revenue, excluding IC increased 1.2% YoY to Bt117,990mn tracking along with our guidance of 1-2% amid the gloomy economic outlook. Key driver was mobile data which grew 57% YoY supported by increasing in smartphone penetration now reaching 38%. EBITDA stood at Bt66,428mn, an increase of 4.3% YoY from lower regulatory cost despite higher network OPEX and SG&A. Net profit slightly dropped 0.7% YoY to Bt36,033mn, mainly from higher interest expense. Competition outlook in 2015 is expected to be more concentrated in mid-to-low tier segments. Operators will push 3G handsets with lower prices into the market as 900MHz spectrum under

Build-Transfer-Operate (BTO) will expire in Sept-15. This will continue to pressure the handset margin near zero, the price per unit for both voice, and data and marketing spending. On the positive side, rising adoption of 3G handsets will generate regulatory cost saving. Continuing with the successful co-brand handset strategy known as AIS Super Combo, we will provide more varieties of quality smartphones with ranges of price. AIS will strengthen its leading position in the telecom industry in Thailand by moving toward digital life service provider in 2015 with the integration of mobile, fixed broadband and digital content services. To strengthen our network quality, we plan to spend Bt40bn this year for expanding capacity and rolling out fiber optic to support both mobile and fixed broadband businesses. For fixed broadband business, we expect to acquire 80,000 subscribers within one year. We expect the 1800MHz auction to be held in 3Q15, and it is likely to be deployed for 4G to expand the capacity. Revenue growth is expected to increase by 3-4% upon strong network quality and new product offerings. We expect our EBITDA margin to improve by 100-200bps mainly from lower regulatory cost offsetting rising opex from continuing network capacity expansion.

Significant Events: Write-off of deferred tax asset on separate and consolidated financial statements In 4Q14, AIS recorded a one-time deferred tax asset written-off on the separate and consolidated financial statements with an amount of Bt664mn. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Excluding this non-cash term, the FY14 normalized consolidated net profit would be Bt36,697mn.

Operational Summary In 2014, AIS subscribers increased to 44.3mn. With the success of 3G network roll-out, subscribers on 2.1GHz-License continued to increase to 40.8mn, representing 92% of total subscribers exceeding our year-end target of 85%. The achievement of marketing campaigns to upgrade 2G-to-3G as well as 3G device adoption in mid-tier segment resulting in the increment of 3G device on 3G network from 8mn in 2013 to 22mn in 2014. While subscription on 900MHz-BTO declined to 3.5mn.

Subscribers 900MHz-BTO1) 2.1GHz-License2) Postpaid Prepaid Total subscribers Net additions 900MHz-BTO1) 2.1GHz-License2) Postpaid Prepaid Total net additions ARPU (Baht/subs/month) 900MHz-BTO1) 2.1GHz-License2) Postpaid Prepaid Blended

Both ARPU and MOU were affected by the increase of the second SIM subscription for both additional devices such as tablets and attractive promotional campaigns. In addition, weak macroeconomic outlook in 2014 pressured the usage per SIM for both voice and data. Also, we have been providing lower-tier postpaid packages to support mid-to-low tier subscribers which constrained postpaid ARPU. As a result, postpaid ARPU declined 2.8% QoQ and 7.5% YoY to Bt608, while prepaid ARPU increased 1.1% QoQ but lowered 11% YoY to Bt170.

4Q14 Snapshot In 4Q14, our service revenue, excluding IC, was Bt30,037mn increasing 2.2% QoQ from festive season and 3.5% YoY from the low base in 4Q13 due to political unrest. 3G-2.1GHz network has been continuously enhanced with increasing number of base stations including small cells and Wifi hotspots. A new model of AIS Super Combo with a wider screen launched in October also found a great sale and helped elevate the 3G device penetration on 3G-2.1GHz to 55%, up from 49% in 3Q14. The popular iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus also significantly drove our sales revenue up 101% QoQ and 42% YoY. The effort to migrate customers to 3G

and the lower roaming rate in 4Q14 has translated into lower regulatory fee amounting Bt3,856mn dropping 16% QoQ and 30% YoY. However, SG&A rose 9.2% QoQ and 14% YoY mainly from marketing spending. In summary, EBITDA stood at Bt17,727mn growing 7.8% QoQ and 8.7% YoY. In spite of higher D&A and deferred income tax (please see significant events on page 1), net profit rose to Bt9,122mn increasing 1.9% QoQ and 3.5% YoY. Excluding the Bt664mn unusable deferred tax assets, the normalized net profit for 4Q14 would be Bt9,786mn or +9.3% QoQ and 7.6% YoY.

FY14 Financial Summary Revenue In 2014, AIS total revenue, excluding construction increased 1.3% to Bt148,729mn due to the growth in data consumption and handset sales.

In 2014, cost of service excluding IC was Bt53,034mn, dropping 6.6% YoY, primarily from lower regulatory fee despite higher D&A and network opex due to 3G network expansion. 

SIM & device sales, representing 16% of total revenue, were Bt23,332mn and increased 23% YoY mainly from the popularity of AIS Super Combo. We have sold 2.5mn units since April. According to our zero-handset margin strategy to increase 3G device adoption, our sales margin declined to 0.8% compared to 6.5% in 2013. Service revenue, excluding IC, tracked along with our guidance which stood at Bt117,990mn and increased 1.2% YoY, underpinned by the accelerating mobile data whereas voice continued to decline. In 2014, AIS had 97% population coverage on 3G-2.1GHz with the densest of 3G base stations in Thailand which support the growing number of subscribers using 3G service. As a result, revenue from 2.1GHz-License represented 78% of service revenue. (See table revenue mix) 

  

Voice revenue was Bt65,382mn, a decrease of 14% YoY due to the substitution of mobile data in some subscribers’ segments and weak economic sentiment in the first half of the year. As our 3G network coverage and capacity increased, nonvoice revenue growth accelerated 34% YoY to Bt43,495mn. There has been strong market demand for mobile data, more varieties of affordable smartphone and attractive pricing package for both postpaid and prepaid. Mobile data accounted for 29% of service revenue, excluding IC, compared to 19% in 2013. International roaming (IR) declined 17% YoY to Bt2,240mn mainly from the impact of martial law resulted in lower tourists and global price pressure. International call & other businesses rose 24% YoY to Bt6,872mn underpinned by the growth of Wifi subscription. Interconnection charges (IC) Both IC revenue and cost declined around 35% due to the change in interconnection rate (from 1Bt/minute to 0.45/minute starting since July 1st, 2013). Net interconnection charge (IC) was Bt641mn, comparing to Bt659mn in 2013.

Regulatory fee was Bt19,427mn decreasing 27% YoY from the effort to attract customers to shift from 2G to 3G, which was subject to lower revenue sharing structure under the license base. This was supported by our success in AIS Super Combo campaign which dramatically helped drive up 3G device penetration. The proportion of regulatory fee to service revenue excluding IC in FY14 stood at 16.5% compared to 22.7% in FY13. Depreciation & Amortization (D&A) was Bt18,633mn, rising 14% YoY due to our extensive expansion of 3G network including increasing number of base stations and fiber optics. It is important to note that 2G-1800MHz operating right was fully amortized since 3Q13 while the 2G-900MHz with the remaining of Bt8.7bn will be fully amortized by 3Q15 when the concession expires. Network OPEX grew 10% YoY to Bt8,538mn as we extensively expand 3G-2.1GHz coverage nationwide which has reached 97% of population. Also, we continued to invest in capacity to cope with high data consumption demand. Other cost of service slightly grew to Bt6,436mn, a rise of 2.2% YoY.

SG&A expense increased to Bt18,860mn or +27% YoY mainly from higher marketing spending to support 3G migration and brand awareness. 

Cost & Expense Part 3 | Page 8

Marketing expenses grew significantly to Bt6,220mn or a rise of 44% YoY mainly from 3G promotional campaigns to drive 3G handset adoption as well as spending to sustain brand awareness. FY14 marketing expenses represented 4.2% of total revenue in line with guidance. General admin expenses stood at Bt11,111mn increasing 17% YoY as staff cost grew 15% from higher headcounts. In FY14 loss from write-off of obsolete assets also grew 49% to Bt818mn, up from Bt549mn in FY13. Depreciation and amortization was Bt289mn or +25% YoY mainly due to shop renovation. Bad debt rose to Bt1,240mn or +58% YoY since postpaid revenue grew from higher postpaid subscribers. However,

FY14 % bad debt to postpaid revenue still remained manageable at 3.6%, up from 2.5% in FY13.

deferred tax assets in 4Q14, normalized net profit would be Bt36,697mn or flattish YoY.

Investment Income was Bt370mn, a decrease of 33% YoY due to lower interest rate received and lower cash outstanding.

Financial position AIS had total assets of Bt126,351mn, an increase of 13% YoY, mainly from investments in 3G network and cash. Total liabilities increased to Bt79,486mn or +20% YoY as additional long-term debts were issued. Total equity grew slightly to Bt46,865mn. AIS still had healthy financial strength as liquidity remained high with a current ratio of 0.91x. Net debt to equity of 0.39x still showed room for more gearing while the average cost of debt stayed at 4%.

Finance costs in FY14 were Bt1,527mn increasing 52% YoY primarily from long-term debenture issued in April. Net gain from foreign exchange was Bt189mn up from net loss of Bt233mn in FY13. These are unrealized gain from the USD denominated CAPEX while other foreign debts were fully hedged. Profit In FY14 EBITDA grew 4.3% to Bt66,428mn, due to lower regulatory fee despite higher network opex and SG&A. This also drove up the consolidated EBITDA margin to 44.7% up 130bps from FY13, and the service EBITDA margin to 52.8% increasing 390bps from FY13. FY14 net profit was Bt36,033mn, a drop of 0.7%.

Cash Flow In FY14 AIS generated net operating cash flow of Bt63bn increasing from Bt51bn in FY13. AIS had spent in total Bt33bn for CAPEX in FY2014 against our guidance of Bt40bn. Full year dividend paid was Bt35bn while debt borrowed and repaid were Bt25bn and Bt12bn, respectively. Also, in 4Q14 the second payment of 2.1GHz spectrum license bid of Bt3,656mn was paid to the regulator, NBTC, which left the last payment of the same amount in 4Q15.

AIS aims to be the Digital Life Service Provider AIS has set a clear vision moving forward to transform ourselves from a telecom service provider to becoming the Digital Life Service Provider so as to keep advancing presence in the digital era. That said, we will be enhancing our mobile business to elevate customer experience, commencing a fixed broadband business to bring convergence with better technology to our customers, and progressing in an ecosystem of digital content through partnerships. This will be achieved by making greater our core values namely customers, people, and partners. CAPEX is set at Bt40bn excluding 4G investment The investment plan for year 2015 is set to expand 3G capacity especially in the dense areas. We aim to install 3G base stations and small cells to reach 29,000 base stations and upgrade typical AIS Wifi to AIS super Wifi at speed of 650 Mbps. With the exponential growth of data consumption, we also extend our fiber optic transmission to support both mobile and fixed broadband businesses. For the first year with CAPEX of Bt1bn, we target 80,000 fixed broadband subscribers under FTTx and VDSL technologies. In addition, we plan to expand and renovate our AIS shops to increase customers’ touch points and support new products. Total estimated CAPEX is Bt40bn in 2015 excluding 4G investment. Service revenue ex. IC to grow 3-4% with EBITDA margin to increase 100-200bps In 2015, we expect service revenue ex. IC to grow 3-4%. The continuously high data growth and our improving 3G2.1GHz network will remain key factors to support revenue growth and largely offset voice revenue which is expected to keep declining. Due to our popularity in AIS Super combo last year, we perceive this trend to keep on this year and thus expect handset sales to grow 10% with margin maintained at close to zero. This will also enhance our 3G device penetration to 70% which will ultimately translate into lower regulatory fee. Therefore, we expect our consolidated EBITDA margin to increase by 100-200bps despite higher network opex and SG&A. New promotional campaigns will also be launched to keep our brand awareness to stay competitive in the market especially in mid-to-low segments of customers. However, marketing spending will remain around 4% of total revenue. Maintain the dividend policy: 100% dividend payout The company aims to maintain 100% payout ratio and pays dividend twice a year. The payout ratio is based on consolidated earnings and subject to the availability of retained earnings on the separated financial statement. This commitment is supported by strong operating cash flow and a low debt level. The CAPEX and license payment will be funded by internal cash flow and additional borrowings if required. If and when there are any new business opportunities or significant changes that may impact on our future operation and investment, and hence capital structure, the company will promptly discuss any new direction with the investment community.
