MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

‘BEYOND CONNECTIONS’ To become Asia’s leading airport business operator, Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited (AOT) constantly enhanced its business competency and service quality over the course of year. AOT has faced with many business challenges. The European Union economic and financial crisis, the oil price and exchange rate fluctuation, Iceland volcano eruption and the domestic political unrest have significantly impacted the air transportation industry as well as the tourism and service sectors. The economic recovery has helped to propel an increase in AOT’s year-on-year growth rate during the period of fiscal year 2010. The total passenger movements amounted to 57.10 million passengers. The volume of cargo and postal parcels passed through its airports totalling 1.33 million tons whereas the traffic volume accounted for 380,894 flights. The total growth rates increased by 14.01%, 28.17% and 9.91% respectively. As for Suvarnabhumi Airport, the total passenger movements amounted to 42.38 million passengers. The volume of cargo and postal parcels passed through the airport totalling 1.27 million tons whereas the traffic volume accounted for 260,069 flights. The total growth rates increased by 14.37%, 29.44% and 7.48% respectively. The success of AOT is accounted for the dedication of the Board, the Management and employees, who have fully devoted themselves to tackle the challenges.

Many effective strategies have been implemented to enhance business competency, increase airport traffic capacity and improve service quality to satisfy passengers and airlines to the maximum. The operations are conducted in full compliance with international standards with focus on security, facilities, service mind, and quality of airport environments.

‘MANAGEMENT BY LOVE’ I have been working for AOT since 1 July 1979. It always makes me feel happy to think of those days. Each of the bosses was tactful in giving instruction. Their teaching was based on love and goodwill. Despite all the hard work, my colleagues were happy, always laughing after work. At present day, my principle is management by love, my subordinate officers are treated as my sons and brothers. As the head, ‘head’ or where the brain is, should be able to give them guidance and make them proud. “With love is long-lasting patience that bares fruit” We have seen the significant growth of AOT over the previous years. Still, I hope we can preserve the old values of love and family among employees. I wish AOT to stay as an organization with management by love where everyone helps to propel its development into the airports of international standard.

‘THE BELIEF IN UNITY’ AOT employees give high regard of seniority as the valuable corporate culture.

‘PRODUCTIVE PEOPLEWARE’ As a big corporate, the transparency and the corporate governance are of greatest importance. Moreover, to propel a big corporate at the sustainable level we need hardware, software and peopleware. Out of these three, I believe the peopleware or human resource is the most crucial component. Although it has not been very long since I started working here, and my sector is only of moderate size, I feel impressed by AOT high-quality personnel. AOT hopes to maintain the balance of corporate revenues by having aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues at approximately 50:50. We have also prepared the area development plan of Suvarnabhumi Airport to achieve this goal.

Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries Management Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 and 2009

Due to current economic recovery and also the continuous economic stimulus measures of the government, the overall tourism has recovered and expected to increase for this year when comparing to a decrease from last year. However, the domestic political unrest which has started in the middle of March 2010 to the end of May 2010 has led to a limited number of growths for the air traffic statistics. For the fiscal year 2010, the numbers of the aircraft, passenger and cargo movements had increased by 11.32%, 14.66% and 29.79 % respectively comparing to the prior fiscal year. AOT has also issued measures in order to assist airlines and operator. The details of these measures are as follows;

- The measures to promote Thailand’s tourism and to assist airlines and operator ending on December 31, 2009 including

1) Reducing the landing fee for all scheduled flights for 30% from May - December 2009 and also extending the time period of the free parking from the first 3 hours to the first 24 hours from February – December 2009 for all scheduled flights. 2) Reducing monthly constant concession fee in accordance with the decreasing number of passengers in each airport compared to the same period of the previous year for the period of 1 year, starting from January – December 2009. In case of the revenue sharing in percentage with a specified minimum guarantee, the percentage concession fee will only be collected according to sale revenues stated in the contracts, starting from January – December 2009. Thus, the minimum guarantee of the year 2009 will be waived.

- The measures to assist airlines and operators for the year 2010 including

1) The reduction of landing fee by 10 percent and parking fee by 20 percent for every airline for the period of 10 months from March to December 2010. (In case that the airline has already accepted the reduction rate of the said fees from other AOT programs, the highest reduction rate of only one program shall be applied excluding the New Incentive Scheme for Suvarnabhumi Airport.) 2) The concession fee will be adjusted only for the airport operators who were approved or signed the concession contract with AOT prior to November 25, 2008 with the details as follows; 2.1 In case of a fixed rate of concession fee, the fee will be reduced by 5 percent for 10 months from March - December 2010. 2.2 In case of the percentage concession fee together with the minimum guarantee.

The reduction will be calculated as a percentage of the landing fees that the airline pays for the year 2010, and the calculation will be based on the increase in number of international passengers that the airline brought through Suvarnabhumi Airport during 2010, comparing to the number in 2009. AOT will reward the airline after the end of the calculating year, which runs from January 1 - December 31, 2010.

BUSINESS CHARACTERS

AOT’s main activities comprise management, operations and development of the six main international airports, namely Don Mueang, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai, Phuket, Mae Fah Luang-Chiang Rai and Suvarnabhumi, providing services for both domestic and international flights. To handle the successive increases in the number of passengers, Suvarnabhumi Airport, the country’s main airport, was opened for service on 28 September 2006 with the capacity to serve 45 million passengers per annum, 3 million tons of cargo freight per annum and 76 flights per hour. AOT’s operating revenues mainly comprise aeronautical revenues and non-aeronautical revenues. The aeronautical revenues include the air-traffic-related revenues such as landing and parking charges, passenger service charges and aircraft service charges. The non-aeronautical revenues include office and state property rents, service revenues and concession revenues. AOT is a shareholder in the eight companies which provide services related to the AOT’s business namely, Suvarnabhumi Airport Hotel Co., Ltd., Airport Duty Free Co., Ltd., Thai Aviation Refuelling Co., Ltd., Phuket Air Catering Co., Ltd., Airport Associated Co., Ltd., Don Mueang International Airport Hotel Co., Ltd., Bangkok Aviation Fuel Service Plc. and Trade Siam Co., Ltd.

Market Situations, Industry Trends and Future Market Dynamics

The increasing volume of air traffic and passengers resulted from several reasons. The first was the government’s policy to emphasize development of airports, particularly Suvarnabhumi Airport, to become a hub for the air cargo transportation and tourism of Asia and the world. The second was the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s proactive tourism policy which was aimed at expanding new tourist markets. The last was when the ASEAN countries mutually agreed upon freedom of the air policy, along with increasing flexibility of rules and regulations concerning air transportation. As regards the future progress of AOT, the Airports Council International (ACI) predicted that the growth rate of worldwide passengers in the next 20 years (2008-2027) would be 4.2% per annum on average. The growth rate of the number of Asia-Pacific passengers would be 6.3%, which is higher than that in every region, due to the development of air transportation in many countries of the region and the rapid growth of the Chinese and the Indian economies. The freedom of the air policy and the expansion of economy as well as international trade allowed low cost carriers to have access to the domestic and international markets. Thus, low cost carriers grew rapidly, both in terms of airline numbers and flight frequency. It was estimated that the increase of Chinese and Indian populations with moderate incomes would enable the low cost carriers of Asia-Pacific to expand greatly in the future. In addition, technical innovation of new aircraft model, such as the A380, will help the overall air transport system to increase its efficiency, reduce its capital and decrease flight times, as aircraft can fly directly to the destination without stopping. This in turn leads to new flight routes and more competition to increase volume of flights and passengers for regional hubs, rather than benefiting other destinations. As ticket prices are reduced, people will gain more access to air transport services. Furthermore, communication technology has been developed at a fast pace, allowing passengers to easily search information on tourist attractions and business resource as they need. Air passengers can also make quick reservations by themselves at lower cost. The number of foreign tourists in Thailand has been affected by domestic political turmoil from early 2010 and the incidents in April-May 2010 as well as the world economic recess, resulting in the significant impact on the air traffic volume and a slowdown in the tourism and investment sectors.

Under the AOT Risk Management Framework, corporate risk events for the fiscal year 2010 were as follows:

1. The number of paid flights could be lower than estimated.

The domestic unrest, changes in government policies as well as economic, social and political situations, along with a severe competitive situation among airports in Asian region have affected AOT operations to the extent that the paid flights could be lower than estimated, which could have a direct impact on both the aeronautical revenues and the non-aeronautical revenues To maintain the number of flights at the airports, AOT carried out a number of activities, which included meetings with the Airline Operators Committee and commercial entrepreneurs, collaborating with commercial entrepreneurs in Suvarnabhumi Airport to boost campaign/event marketing capabilities, identifying recovery measures for airport operators and airlines, revising the Aviation Marketing Incentive Program to be in line with the current situation and clients’ demand, and conducting a study of incentive programs of airports in the region to maximize competitiveness and encourage niche marketing campaigns. AOT also stimulated the increase in number of flights through campaign publicity, which encouraged both passengers and airlines. The Aviation Incentive Program was carried out by using varieties of media resources for different target groups, such as telemarketing, direct marketing and websites of AOT and Suvarnabhumi Airport. In collaboration with Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and tour agencies, AOT carried out programs to advocate incentive measures for airlines.

2. AOT might not achieve the planned asset productivity.

AOT has created many projects to increase revenues from the current assets. Some examples included the joint venture plan with the private sector for the business development on the area 37 at Suvarnabhumi Airport, Suvarnabhumi Airport outdoor commercial activities, the aircraft maintenance center, the flight simulator center and other related activities at Don Mueang International Airport, the feasibility study for business/private jet terminals at Phuket International Airport and Chiang Mai Internatioanl Airport, which will take over 3 years to gain the substantial revenues under normal circumstances. The domestic and international factors have contributed to changes in social and economic conditions, technology as well as the entrepreneur preparedness. This might hinder the achievement of our plans and the planned revenues. In response to this, AOT has urged the related divisions to closely handle the operations.

3. Risk from lawsuit compensation

After the official opening of Suvarnabhumi Airport in 2006, the airport capacity had to be periodically increased to conform with government policies. This affected the airport operations and led to legal disputes, which could cause AOT a great amount of payment for compensation. In response to this, AOT took every precaution to act in full compliance with related regulations and conditions of every contract. To accelerate the disbursement, AOT coordinated with the related persons to complete every process as stated in the contract. AOT also extended the working contract for the contractors and set up a sub-committee to solve technical and engineering problems in Suvarnabhumi Airport. To mitigate the existing disputes, AOT has negotiated with the other party and strictly followed the guidelines as approved by the Board.

4. Risk from the exchange rate deficit

Economic stimulus plans as well as monetary and fiscal policies implemented by worldwide governments had helped to recover the world economy over the course of year. Nevertheless, the crisis of EU fiscal policy, the inflation tendency and worldwide unemployment were regarded as possible risks, which could lead to the double recession. As regards domestic factors, the government economic and fiscal policies and the variance of currency exchange rate could affect AOT net accounting profit/loss, which involved the Yen loan that Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) approved for the development of Suvarnabhumi Phase-1. To mitigate the risks from exchange rate fluctuations, AOT assigned the Foreign Risk Management Sub-committee to set out foreign risk management policies. Under the cross-currency swap agreements, 77% of Yen loan was managed through financial derivatives by credible financial institutions.

5. Suvarnabhumi Airport countermeasures for noise impact

Based on the decree of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment on categorization and scale of government projects, private and public enterprise required to conduct the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) issued under the Enhancement and Conservation of the National Environmental Quality Act B.E. 2535, aerodrome projects were required to submit their EIAs to the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning. Prior to its opening, Suvarnabhumi Airport EIA was completed and approved by the National Environment Board on 10 March 2005. AOT, as the operator of Suvarnabhumi Airport, was required to strictly follow the National Environment Board resolution, the preventive measures on environmental impact mitigation and the quality control plan stated in the EIA. After the opening of Suvarnabhumi Airport, the Cabinet adopted the resolution of noise pollution on 29 May 2007, which were in accordance with the National Environment Board resolution of 10 March 2005. On 17 March 2009, the Cabinet approved the resolution to increase the amount of investment on the construction of Suvarnabhumi Airport Phase-1, which accounted for 11,233.700 million Baht for compensation of noise pollution. To ensure the legal compliance and corporate governance policies, AOT Board has followed the Cabinet resolution of 29 May 2007 to compensate for pre-2001 construction, with specific details as follows: 1) Land and construction in the area NEF > 40 shall be given price estimates under the guidelines for determining compensation for expropriated real estate according to the Act on Expropriation of Immovable Property B.E. 2530. Those who wish to maintain their ownership shall be provided with financial aid for renovation. 2) Renovation of buildings and construction in the area NEF 30-40 shall be supported and conducted in conformity with the principle of renovation for noise impact mitigation of the National Institute of Development Administration. The Cabinet resolution of 29 May 2007 resulted in the incomprehensiveness of the countermeasures for noise impact. The change in direction of monsoon flow causes aircraft to fly U-turn (winter), which impacted on buildings and construction. An appeal was filed to revise the Cabinet resolution by the affected. On 31 August 2010, the Cabinet approved AOT to follow our measures for summer noise contour to find the solution to the noise impact in winter noise contour, which will be further proposed in the meeting of shareholders for consideration.

Conflict of Interest

As a practice of AOT corporate governance, it is one of the core policies to prevent the conflict of interest among individuals and with the Company. Directors, the Management and the employees are required to report the profit and loss of theirs and concerned parties to prevent the misuse of the position for private interest. The requirements are as follows: (1) Avoid the transaction that can lead to the conflict of interest with AOT. (2) When the transaction is necessary for the benefit of AOT, it is to be made in the same manner as that with outsiders with no approval by the Directors, the Management and the employees who share the profit and loss in the transaction (3) When the transaction falls into the category of connected transactions or transactions that may contain the conflict of interest according to the regulations of the Stock Exchange of Thailand, AOT Board of Directors will strictly oversee and ensure the compliance and the disclosure of connected transactions of registered companies. (4) When the Management, the employees or their family members are involved in or become shareholders in any business that may lead to the conflict of interest with AOT, it is required to report in the writing format to the topmost executive. (5) The act of the Directors, the Management or the employees to hold the directorship or act as the consultant for other companies or business organizations must not harm the benefit of AOT and directly impede their performance of duty at AOT. In addition to this, the Directors and the Management have submitted the profit and loss statement of theirs and their concerned parties to the Corporate Secretary as a useful tool to oversee the profit and loss of the Directors, the Management and their concerned parties. The Corporate Secretary submits the copy of the report to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the chairman of Audit Committee for acknowledgement.

BUSINESS CONTINUITY DEVELOPMENT

Sister Airport Agreement The sister agreement is an agreement between entrepreneurs of the same business type or in the same industry, regardless of linguistic and geographical differences. This type of agreement is prevalent in many business circles. To encourage a greater cooperation, a number of sister airport agreements have been made throughout the world between international airports, of which some include the agreements between Denver International Airport and Munich International Airport, Central Japan International Airport Co., Ltd. (Nagoya International Airport) and Flughafen Munchen GmbH (Munich Airport), Macau International Airport and Frankfurt-Hahn Airport. As regards, on 16 December 2009, the AOT President and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Munich Airport signed a sister airport agreement between Suvarnabhumi Airport and Munich Airport, which has been named the “Best Airport Europe” by Skytrax Research at the 2010 Skytrax World Airport Awards.

Principle and Rationale

According to the development plan to turn Phuket International Airport into the regional aviation hub for the fiscal year 2003-2006, which was completed in 2007, Phuket International Airport’s capacity was enhanced to support the total number of 6.5 million passengers annually, or 3.5 million international passengers and 3 million domestic passengers annually, as the real passenger volume in 2007 was 5.704 million. The economic slowdown in 2007 contributed to the decline in number of flights and cargo volume in 2008 by 6.9% and 2.6% respectively in comparison to 2007. However, the passenger volume of 2007 rose by 0.5%, and the number of flights, passengers and cargo volume has increased steadily. It is expected that the increasing number of flights, passengers and cargo volume could lead to excessive congestion from 2010 onwards. The capacity enhancement of Phuket International Airport is therefore required to support the rising number of flights, passengers and cargo volume.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

Policy

AOT regards human resource as our valuable asset and strategic dynamics that contribute to the sustainable success amidst the influx of changes. AOT therefore emphasizes the high importance of human resource development, which is a vital tool in airport management and preparedness training, to create the resistance to rapid change and adaptation, as well as add value to the organization. We are strongly determined to achieve the regional leadership in airport services through fostering the expertise potential that meets the standard of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

Practice

In the fiscal year 2010, AOT was affected by a number of factors such as the economic crisis, the energy instability, the domestic political unrest and Iceland volcano eruption, which resulted in the implementation of cost-saving measures. The partial impact on the human resource development was unavoidable. Nevertheless, AOT has still provided essential programs of human resource development, namely the Need to Know and Must Know, as first priority, to maintain the efficiency of the operation as well as the strategic dynamics. The Nice to Know is also set as the second priority for our employees.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH, SAFETY AND WORKING ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT 126

Annual Report 2010 I Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited


AOT has implemented the policies and the management structure of occupational health, safety and working environment to ensure the maximum efficiency of our operations, as well as the law compliance and related safety standards. The management teams of occupational health, safety and working environment are individually stationed at every airport of AOT to supervise the working safety in its own responsible areas and assure that all objectives are met in accordance with the policies.

The objectives of AOT occupational health, safety and working environment are to prevent and reduce occupational accident rates, injuries and illness, as well as control and mitigate safety risks to the acceptable levels. In full compliance with the safety laws, AOT regularly monitors working environment and makes suggestion for the improvement, as well as encourages the safety awareness among our officers and employees. Some of the activities included an internal website for occupational health, safety and working environment, the occupational health and safety week and campaigns for traffic safety that encouraged employees to follow the ‘Traffic Safety for Smile Society’ policy of the Ministry of Transport. For the greater health care of our employees, AOT has provided a medical center at the Headquarters. The center is equipped with medical facilities and professional doctors and nurses who provide injured and ill employees with first aid to alleviate the injury or symptoms before transferring to hospital. Additionally, AOT regularly provides comprehensive training programs that are in full compliance with the safety laws as well as additional enrichment programs, such as Basic Rescue and Fire Fighting, Accident Investigation and Reporting and Ergonomics for Airport Officers, for employees of all levels, from the Management and supervisors to the operational level. The programs would benefit employees in the improvement of working environment, as well as the prevention of occupational accident and illness. To ensure the law compliance of the job safety and prevent danger to employees, contractors and individuals who enter the work areas, AOT carries out hazard identification and risk assessment by applying the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) technique to analyze and assess potential risks, as well as to establish prevention and improvement measures. The risk control and mitigation focuses on reduction of risk probability and severity through the risk management. The contribution

to the risk management from employees of all levels has helped propel every aspect of job safety to the constant improvement. AOT regularly monitors working environment that affects the health of employees. Some examples of the monitoring process include indoor air quality monitoring, CO and CO2 density measuring and analysis, and analysis of working environment factors (the level of heat, light and noise). The overall process contributes to the assessment and improvement of working environment to meet the standards. In addition to the impact of working environment, ergonomics in workplace is another aspect that AOT regards of high importance. AOT provides our employees with AOT Ergonomics Booklet which gives information about proper ergonomics for working condition and computer work stations, safety ergonomic lifting and exercises for prevention and reduction of injury from improper ergonomics, to give employees the guideline to improve the working condition and working position. With our relentless support in occupational health, safety and working environment, AOT occupational injury rate is inclined to decrease, while the working environment has been under constant improvement to mitigate work-related risks. All of these resulted in the fourth consecutive year of ‘Outstanding Organization in Safety, Occupational Health and Working environment Award’ for the Headquarters of AOT by the Department of Labor Protection and Welfare of the Ministry of Labor. Phuket International Airport has also been awarded for the seventh consecutive year, and a national award has also been granted to Mae Fah Luang-Chiang Rai International Airport. The awards demonstrate an enduring commitment to occupational health, safety and working environment of the Management, whose support for necessary resources is vital to the accomplishment of our mission. To enhance the efficiency of our operations, we always contribute to the life quality of the employees.

(TRANSLATION) AUDITOR’S REPORT TO: THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE AIRPORTS OF THAILAND PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED

The Office of the Auditor General of Thailand has audited the accompanying consolidated and the Company’s balance sheets as at September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated and the Company’s statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended of the Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries and of the Airport of Thailand Public Company Limited, respectively. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management as to their correctness and completeness of the presentation. The responsibility of the Office of the Auditor General of Thailand is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on the audits. Except as explained in the following paragraph, the Office of the Auditor General of Thailand conducted the audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that the Office of the Auditor General of Thailand 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. The Office of the Auditor General of Thailand believes that the audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion. As explained in Note 6.10.2 to the financial statements, subsequent to the commencement of operations at Suvarnabhumi Airport, there are indications that plant and equipment at Don Mueang Airport may be impaired. The Company has employed the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to conduct a study on Don Mueang Airport assets utilization under 3 options. The authority to make a decision on any of the options rests with the Cabinet, not with the Company’s management. Therefore, the Company’s management is unable to draw a conclusion regarding the recoverable amount of assets at Don Mueang Airport in order to determine whether, and to what extent, such assets are impaired until the Cabinet has a resolution on the option under which the Company should proceed. In such circumstances, the Office of the Auditor General of Thailand is unable to perform audit procedures to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the recoverable amount of assets at Don Mueang Airport, stated in the consolidated and the Company’s financial statements as at September 30, 2010 and 2009, at Baht 4,378.70 million and Baht 4,960.22 million, respectively. In the opinion of the Office of the Auditor General of Thailand, except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, on the consolidated and the Company’s financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, as might have been determined to be necessary had the Office of the Auditor General of Thailand been able to obtain sufficient competent audit evidence regarding the recoverable amount of assets at Don Mueang Airport as explained in the preceding paragraph, the consolidated and the Company’s financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated and company financial position of the Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries and of the Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited, respectively, as at September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated and company results of operations and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting standards subject to the Accounting Professions Act, B.E.2547 (2004). The significant accounting policies are: 4.1 Revenue recognition 4.1.1 Landing and parking charges, passenger service charges, use of utilities charges and service charges are recognized as revenues in the accounting period in which services are provided. 4.1.2 Rent for offices and real estate properties, and concession revenues are recognized as revenues according to the period of time and commission rates specified in the contract. 4.1.3 Revenues from hotel business and restaurant are recorded as revenues in accordance with the price in invoice (excluding VAT) for goods and services after discount and added service charges. 4.1.4 Interest income is recognized according to the period of time to which it applies, taking into account the actual rate of return. 4.1.5 Dividends are recognized when the dividend payment is announced. 4.1.6 Expenses are recorded by accrual basis. 4.2 Allowance for doubtful accounts Allowance for doubtful accounts is set up by considering the estimated losses expected to be incurred as a result of non-payment by accounts receivable, based on past collection experience and the current status of accounts receivable as of the balance sheet date.

4.5 Plant and equipment are recorded at cost as of the date of acquisition or at the completion date. All AOT buildings are constructed on state properties leased from the Treasury Department, Ministry of Finance. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Finance and the Royal Thai Air Force, all constructions become the property of the Ministry of Finance upon completion. However, the AOT records such properties as assets since the AOT accepts all risks and benefits of such properties, and pays compensation for the use of state properties to the Treasury Department. After AOT was privatized to a limited public company, the Ministry of Finance and the Royal Thai Air Force issued a new regulation. Moreover, the Ministry of Finance and the Department of Commercial Aviation issued 2 new regulations. These new regulations came into effect on September 30, 2002. Clause 8 of three new regulations stated that the ownership of the buildings and constructions will belong to the Ministry of Finance when the contract to use the state property land made under these regulations is terminated. The total period of time shall not exceed 50 years from the effective date of utilization agreement. AOT had committed to 4 utilization agreements since September 30, 2002 and amended 1 utilization agreement on September 28, 2004. The use of state property land lasts for 30 years (September 30, 2032). AOT is allowed to extend the period for using state property land 2 times, 10 years each extension (September 30, 2052). AOT has paid compensation for using state property to the Treasury Department as Note 6.23 Depreciation expense for operating equipment for hotel business is recorded in accordance with the estimated useful life of assets. Calculation of depreciation is made by straight -line method according to the estimated useful life of each type of assets as follows: Useful life of acquired assets [years] Building, construction, and landscape architecture 20 – 50 Electricity, water, fuel and communication systems 10 – 20 Machinery, tools & appliances, and equipment 5 – 10 Vehicles 5 – 8 Furniture, fixture and office equipment 3 – 10 4.6 Foreign currency transactions are translated into Baht at the rate ruling on the transactions date. Assets and liabilities dominated in foreign currency remaining at the balance sheet date are translated into Baht at the exchange rate as referred to the reference of the date notified by the Bank of Thailand. Gains or losses on currency exchange are recognized as incomes or expenses in the statement of income. 4.7 Interest on loans arises from loans for the projects under construction which is a part of construction cost and will be recognized as an expense upon completion. 4.8 AAT Staff Pension Fund and Employee benefits 4.8.1 AOT has established “The Staff Pension Fund of Airport Authority of Thailand” and contributed to the pension fund at the rate 10% of its employees’ salaries who did not transfer to a provident fund as stated in Note 4.8.2, to provide an adequate reserve of the obligation due at the end of each accounting period. Contributions are included in other non-current liabilities in the balance sheet. Income and expenses are recognized in the statement of income. 4.8.2 AOT has established a provident fund for staff and employees who voluntarily participate in the fund, since March 28, 1994, in accordance with the Provident Fund Act, B.E. 2530 (1987). Staff and employees themselves are required to contribute at the rates ranging from 2-15 % of their salaries and shall not exceed AOT contribution rates.

Subsequent to the commencement of operations at Suvarnabhumi Airport, there are indications that assets at Don Mueang Airport may be impaired. At present, AOT cannot reliably estimate the recoverable amount of Don Mueang Airport’s assets in order to determine whether and to what extent the assets are imparied due to circumstances surrounding the plan for utilization of such assets. The Office of National Economic and Social Development Board and the Ministry of Transport, by resolution of the Council of Economic ministers, jointly conducted a feasibility study on the development concept for Suvarnabhumi Airport and Don Mueang Airport, and in this regard the Ministry of Transport delegated AOT to employ the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to conduct the study under 3 options summarized as follows:

164

Annual Report 2010 I Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited


(1) Don Mueang Airport continues its present operations, while Suvarnabhumi Airport accelerates its development projects to accommodate future traffic demand. (2) Don Mueang Airport accommodates domestic non-connecting flights, low-cost carriers or international flights in the region with the capacity of 10 million passengers/year in order to delay additional investments at Suvarnabhumi Airport. (3) Don Mueang stops serving all scheduled flights and redirects its business to the development of other commercial activities, while Suvarnabhumi Airport accelerates its additional investments to cope with an increase in passenger number which is expected to be at 60-65 million passengers/year. AOT has made preliminary estimates of the recoverable amounts of assets at Don Mueang Airport under the 3 options based on the asset’s value in use. The results of the preliminary estimates are as follows: Option (1) The book values of assets at Don Mueang Airport as at September 30, 2010 and 2009 are higher than their recoverable amounts. If option 1 is selected, assets at Don Mueang Airport will be impaired by approximately Baht 3,600 million Option (2) The book values of assets at Don Mueang Airport as at September 30, 2010 and 2009 are less than their recoverable amounts. If option 2 is selected, assets at Don Mueang Airport will not be impaired. Option (3) The book values of assets at Don Mueang Airport as at September 30, 2010 and 2009 are higher than their recoverable amounts. If option 3 is selected, assets at Don Mueang Airport will be impaired by approximately Baht 2,200 million under the assumption that personnel expenses related to aviation activities are excluded as a result of the transfer of personnel to other airports operated by AOT. However, the management has no authority to make a decision on the selection of such options as this authority rests with the Cabinet. Therefore, the management has to wait for the Cabinet’s resolution before conducting a detailed estimate of the recoverable amount of assets at Don Mueang Airport in accordance with the Cabinet’s resolution on the option in order to conclude whether assets at Don Mueang Airport are impaired and if so, the extent of impairment. 6.11 Assets under construction Consolidated and The Company Unit : Million Baht Suvarnabhumi Regional Don Mueang Total Airport Airports Airport 6,267.69 273.56 6.37 6,547.62 As at October 1, 2009 Addition

Financial Instruments Interest rate risk Interest rate risk arises from changes in market interest rate which may have and effects on AOT operating results and cash flow in the present and the future. AOT has short term and long term deposits in the financial institutes. The AOT has liabilities from loans with floating interest rate and AOT’s subsidiary has liabilities from loans with fixed interest rate. Exchange rate risk AOT had risk from the variance of currency exchange rate that affects liabilities, operating expenses and interest payment in foreign currency. AOT risk management policy is to set up the risk management subcommittee on foreign debt. AOT entered into cross currency swap for Japanese Yen loans to Thai Baht which was 77.30 % of the remaining amount of loans by applying financial derivative of Cross Currency Swap, Participating Swap and Cross Currency Swap which referring to the Kingdom of Thailand solvency in proportion of 42:33:25 with Thai and foreign financial institutes. Credit risk Credit risk is arisen from the delayed payment of debt of the client. Setting the clear service payment, continually trace the client of outstanding debt, and ask for the guarantee from the client schedule, are the ways to hedge the said matter. The client’s fair value stated in the balance sheet is the net value of the debtor after deducting doubtful account. Liquidity risk AOT and its subsidiaries manage liquidity risk by sufficiently maintaining the level of cash and cash equivalents to support the company’s operations and decrease risk from the effects of cash flow fluctuation.

6.30 Contingent liabilities 6.30.1 Assessment of property tax AOT property tax has been assessed by Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) since 1995 by using remunerations for the space that AOT granted to operators as a calculation base. AOT appealed to BMA and submitted the matter to Office of the Attorney General on July 29, 1999 for the determination of the committee on the assessment of property tax. As a result, the board of directors (meeting No. 6/1999 dated June 29, 1999) resolved that AOT would pay property tax at the reasonable rate. BMA has informed the Treasury Department, the owner of property, about the assessment of property tax every year by using the same criteria since 1995 AOT has disagreed and appealed every year as since 1995. Later, AOT was informed by the Office of the Attorney General (letter No. 0015/5219 dated March 24, 2005) for the final determination of the committee on the assessment of property tax. If BMA accepts the final determination of the committee, AOT will get the property tax (1995-2003) of Baht 570.69 million from BMA (the letter requesting for the repayment of the said tax amount has already been sent to BMA). The Office of the Attorney General informed the Treasury Department that, in 2004, the committee had the same determination as in 2003. Referring to BMA letter dated September 11, 2006, BMA informed the Treasury Department that BMA disagreed with the determination of the committee on the assessment of property tax. AOT was informed by the Treasury Department on October 2, 2006 that the Office of the Attorney General will submit the matter to the cabinet for ordering BMA to act in accordance with the determination of the committee. On January 8 and 19, 2010, AOT was informed by the Office of the Attorney General for the final determination of the committee on the assessment of property tax that the criteria for property tax assessment for 2005 and 2006 will be the same as 2004 and 2005, respectively. In this accounting period, AOT was informed by BMA on the additional assessment of property tax for the spaces that AOT granted to operators at Don Mueang International Airport for the year 2009 and 2008 amounting to Baht 79.12 million by adhering to the previous criteria since 1995. AOT, therefore, paid the tax of Baht 66.81 million according to the tax assessment criteria specified by the committee on the assessment of property tax. For the remaining amount of Baht 12.31 million, AOT appealed to BMA according to the determination of the committee. At the end of the period, AOT has Baht 2,373.05 million of appealing tax payable (BMA has assessed the property tax amounted to Baht 3,922.49 million, less the paid tax of Baht 1,549.44 million). Moreover, AOT recorded provision for penalties of Baht 228.47 million according to Section 43(4) of the Property Tax Act, B.E.2475 (1932), amended by the Property Tax Act (No.4), B.E.2534 (1991) in case the result of the appeal complied with the assessment of BMA. 6.30.2 Lawsuits AOT was prosecuted with 45 cases and the plaintiff filed a lawsuit against AOT to compensate for the damage in an approximate amount of Baht 5,817.86 million (excluding interest). The cases are under consideration of the court and insurance company and not settled. The attorney-at-law of the Office of the Attorney General represents AOT.

The attorney-at-law of the Office of the Attorney General represents AOT. At the end of the period, AOT recorded provision for liabilities incurred from 13 cases of lawsuits amounting to Baht 33.29 million. 6.30.3 Noise Impact AOT’s Board of Directors passed a resolution on May 15, 2008, to pay compensation to people who are affected by noise pollution arisen from the operations of Suvarnabhumi Airport in accordance with the cabinet resolution on May 29, 2007. The compensation payments base on actual air traffic and are for buildings that were constructed before 2001 as follows: - Areas with NEF over 40: To negotiate and purchase buildings and constructions by comparing with the compensation guideline for expropriated immovable property as stated in the Act on Expropriation of Immovable Property B.E.2530 (1987). If owners do not want to sell the property, they will receive money for building improvement. - Areas with NEF 30-40: To support building and construction improvement by evaluating noise level. If the noise level is over 10 decibel (a), an owner will receive money for buildings and constructions improvement according to the criteria of the study of National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA). Complying with the cabinet resolution may have an impact on AOT performance. However, AOT established compensation fund for the impact of Suvarnabhumi Airport. The objective of the fund is to set criteria and methods to mitigate and help people who are affected from the operations of Suvarnabhumi Airport. It is in compliance with the resolution of the National Environment Board meeting No. 2/2009 dated May 4, 2009.
