Management Discussion and Analysis 1.

Revenues and Margins

For the year 2006, the Company reported total revenues of Baht 7,896 million, an increase by 16% from Baht 6,807 million for year 2005. The increase is the result of 12% increase in inpatient revenues and 20% increase in outpatient revenues. The cost of hospital operations for the year ended 2006 was at Baht 4,775 million, or an increase of 15% from year-end 2005, in line with the increase in the hospital operations. The gross margin therefore remained stable at 37.6% for both 2005 and 2006. Administrative expenses increased by 18% to accommodate the growth in hospital operations, resulting in a stable EBIDTA margin at 24.5% for both 2005 and 2006. 2.

Corporate Income Tax and Net Profit

For 2006, the Company reported corporate income tax of Baht 432 million (effective tax rate of 28.3%), an increase of 98% from Baht 218 million (effective tax rate of 17.1%) for 2005, as the Company pays full tax rate in 2006. As a result, the net profit margin decreased from 15.5% for year 2005 to 13.9% for year 2006. However, the Company’s net profit still saw a 5% increase from Baht 1,053 million in 2005 to Baht 1,096 million in 2006. Year-end 2006 basic EPS was at Baht 1.51 per share, or an increase of 4% from Baht 1.45 per share for year-end 2005. Similarly, fully diluted EPS increased by 4% from Baht 1.21 per share for 2005 to Baht 1.26 per share for year-end 2006.

Balance Sheet

Total assets increased to Baht 6,623 million as at 31 December 2006 from Baht 5,728 million as at 31 December 2005, primarily because of increase in cash from Baht 544 million in 2005 to Baht 854 million in 2006, mainly from the Company’s subsidiary, Bumrungrad International Company Limited (BIL)’s capital increase of Baht 453 million, increase in accounts receivables from Baht 339 million in 2005 to Baht 525 million in 2006, in line with the growth of revenues from hospital operations and increasing average collectible days because of increasing foreign accounts, coupled with the increase in property, plant and equipment from Baht 3,270 million in 2005 to Baht 3,752 million in

20


Annual Report 2006 Bumrungrad Hospital Public Company Limited

2006 from the construction of new outpatient and parking building, netted off with decrease in pledge of fixed deposits at financial institutions from Baht 230 million in 2005 to Baht 10 million in 2006, as the condition on maintaining an escrow account for the term loan has been released. The Company’s average collection period increased to 22 days as at 31 December 2006 from 18 days as at 31 December 2005, as the Company’s composition of insurance and corporate contracts are gradually changing towards an increasing of foreign accounts. Naturally, these accounts take longer to process and collect the bills. The Company’s average inventory period remains stable at 12 days for both 2005 and 2006. Total liability was at Baht 2,994 million as at 31 December 2006, stable compared to Baht 3,032 million as at 31 December 2005. The Company’s long-term debt (including current portion) remained stable at Baht 1,751 million as at 31 December 2006 compared to Baht 1,779 million as at 31 December 2005, as during 2006, the Company made a scheduled repayment of Baht 329 million and made a draw-down of Baht 300 million in 4Q06. Net debt to equity declined to 0.24x as at 31 December 2006 compared to 0.37x as at 31 December 2005, as a result in an increase in cash and increase in equity. The Company’s interest coverage ratio improved to 17.5x for the year 2006 from 15.6x in 2005 as EBITDA improves. Shareholder’s equity attributable to Company’s shareholders (excluding equity attributable to minority shareholders of subsidiaries) increased to Baht 3,284 million as at 31 December 2006 from Baht 2,615 million as at 31 December 2005, primarily a result of unrealized gain from BIL’s capital increase to strategic partners in excess of par value (Baht 153.52 per share vs. par value of Baht 100 per share) of Baht 156 million, coupled with 2006 net profit of Baht 1,096 million netted off with dividend payment of Baht 548 million. In July 2006, the Company waived its rights to subscribe to BIL’s 5,764,701 new shares to allow strategic partners to buy such shares. As a result, its shareholding in BIL was diluted to 51% from 100%. Consequently, the equity attributable to minority shareholders of subsidiaries significantly increased from Baht 81 million as at 31 December 2005 to Baht 344 million as at 31 December 2006. Average return on assets for 2006 was at 18% while average return on equity remained high at 35% for 2006.

Liquidity

The Company’s cash flow from operating activities for 2006 was at Baht 1,137 million, lower than 2005 of Baht 1,513 million, primarily because of the increase in accounts receivable, decrease in corporate income tax payable resulting from income tax payment, decrease in accrued expense as miscellaneous expenses have been paid down and decrease in accounts payable – others as the Company paid for its construction of the new outpatient center. Net cash used in investment activities decreased to Baht 678 million in 2006 from Baht 859 million in 2005, primarily because in 2005, the Company spent Baht 323 million in investment in Asian Hospital Inc. to expand its hospital business into the Philippines. Net cash used in financing activities significantly decreased to Baht 141 million in 2006 from Baht 857 million in 2005, as in 2006, BIL received cash from shares issued in the amount of Baht 453 million, together with the Company’s increase in long term loan of Baht 300 million. As a result, cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period increased to Baht 854 million as at 31 December 2006 from Baht 544 million as at 31 December 2005. Liquidity ratio stood at 1.04x as at 31 December 2006, an increase from 0.70x as at 31 December 2005, as a result of stronger cash position. Consequently, quick ratio was at 0.99x as at 31 December 2006, an increase from 0.65x as at 31 December 2005.

Annual Report 2006 Bumrungrad Hospital Public Company Limited

The loan agreement contains normal covenants pertaining to matters such as the maintenance of certain financial ratios, and restriction on financial indebtedness and the payment of dividends, among others. As at 31 December 2006, outstanding long-term credit facilities of the Company and its subsidiaries which have yet to be drawn down total Baht 750 million.

15. CONVERTIBLE BONDS Convertible bonds as at 31 December 2006 and 2005 are as follows: a)

Partly secured convertible bonds in an amount of Baht 300 million, with a maturity of 12 years, and a coupon rate of 2.5% for years 1 - 4, 5% for years 5 - 8, and 10% for years 9-12, payable semi-annually. The current conversion price is Baht 4.55 per one ordinary share. The bondholders have the option to convert the bonds into ordinary shares throughout the life of the bonds. The bonds are secured by the mortgage of the Company’s land.

b)

Partly secured convertible bonds in an amount of Baht 250 million (after conversion by the bondholder of Baht 750 million in the year 2003); with a maturity of 12 years, and a coupon rate of 1% per annum, payable semi-annually. The current conversion price is Baht 3.50 per one ordinary share. The bondholders have the option to convert the bonds into ordinary shares throughout the life of the bonds. The bonds are secured by the mortgage of the Companyís land.

On 24 November 2000, an extraordinary meeting of the Company’s shareholders passed approval of the amendment to the terms and conditions governing the rights and obligations of the issuer and the bondholders, which gives the Company the option to either redeem the convertible bonds or to convert the bonds into ordinary shares on the maturity date. According to the Thai Accounting Standard No. 48 “Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation”, because the Company has the option to either redeem the convertible bonds or to convert them into ordinary shares on the maturity date, and delivery of equity securities will not be changed by fair value of such equity securities (since the Company determined a certain conversion price), so the convertible bonds are not covered by the definition of financial liabilities and are to be treated as equity securities. In addition, the Company’s management expresses their intention to convert these bonds into ordinary shares on the maturity date. Therefore, the whole amounts of the convertible bonds are presented as part of shareholders’ equity and future interest on the bonds will be recorded as a deduction from shareholders’ equity. The Company has reserved 178,571,433 ordinary shares to accommodate the above convertible bonds. Interest expense for the year 2006 of the convertible bonds amounted to Baht 17.5 million (2005: Baht 17.5 million), being recorded as a reduction to “retained earnings”.

16. SHARE CAPITAL Preference shareholders have the same right as the ordinary shareholders except that they are entitled to receive an annual dividend at 15% of preference shares capital prior to the dividend paid to the ordinary shareholders. Preference shares can be converted into ordinary shares.

52


Annual Report 2006 Bumrungrad Hospital Public Company Limited

17. STATUTORY RESERVE Pursuant to Section 116 of the Public Limited Companies Act B.E. 2535, the Company is required to set aside to a statutory reserve at least 5% of its net income after deducting accumulated deficit brought forward (if any), until the reserve reaches 10% of the registered capital.

18. CORPORATE INCOME TAX The Company’s corporate income tax for the years 2006 and 2005 has been calculated at the rate of 25% of net income not exceed Baht 300 million and 30% for the rest. The tax rate applied are in compliance with the provision of Royal Decree 387 (B.E. 2544) dated 28 August 2001, issued under the Revenue Code, regarding the reduction of income tax rates.

25. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 25.1

Financial risk management The Company’s and subsidiaries’ financial instruments, as defined under Thai Accounting Standard No. 48 “Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentations”, principally comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, loans, investments, and short-term and long-term loans. The financial risks associated with these financial instruments and how they are managed is described below.

56


Annual Report 2006 Bumrungrad Hospital Public Company Limited

Credit risk The Company and subsidiaries are exposed to credit risk primarily with respect to trade accounts receivable, loans, and other receivables. The Company and subsidiaries manage the risk by adopting appropriate credit control policies and procedures and therefore do not expect to incur material financial losses. In addition, the Company and subsidiaries do not have high concentration of credit risk since they have a large customer base. The maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amounts of receivables, loans and other receivables as stated in the balance sheet. Interest rate risk The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ exposures to interest rate risk relate primarily to their cash at banks, bank overdrafts, and long-term borrowings. However, since most of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ financial assets and liabilities bear floating interest rates or fixed interest rates which are close to the current market rate, the interest rate risk is expected to be minimal. Significant financial assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2006 classified by type of interest rates are summarised in the table below, with those financial assets and liabilities that carry fixed interest rates further classified based on the maturity date, or the repricing date if this occurs before the maturity date.

Fair values of financial instruments Since the majority of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ financial instruments are short-term in nature and loans and borrowings bear floating interest rates, their fair value is not expected to be materially different from the amounts presented in the balance sheets. A fair value is the amount for which an asset can be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The fair value is determined by reference to the market price of the financial instrument or by using an appropriate valuation technique, depending on the nature of the instrument.

26. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 26.1

On 29 January 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a waiver of future rights to subscribe to a maximum of 3,714,283 new shares at Baht 153.52 per share, totaling Baht 570,216,726.16, of Bumrungrad International Ltd. (“BIL”) and to allocate such rights to Asia Financial Holdings Limited (“AFH”), or its wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result, BH’s shareholding in BIL will reduce to 31.5% of the diluted share capital.

26.2

On 27 February 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the proposal to the annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders for consideration of the payment of Baht 0.45 per share from the Company’s income for the year ended 31 December 2006. This constitutes a total dividend of Baht 329 million. In addition, the meeting also resolved that the interim dividend of Baht 0.30 per share, totaling Baht 219 million, which had been distributed on 15 September 2006 be reported to the annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders. The total dividend payment for the year 2006 is Baht 0.75 per share, totaling Baht 548 million.

27. RECLASSIFICATION Certain amounts in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s classification, with no effect on previously reported net income or shareholders’ equity.

% of revenue

The following graph shows the historical revenue contribution of international patients over the past five years.

The Company has a master plan to expand and upgrade its Bangkok facility over the next 5 years. The plan includes the opening of the new Bumrungrad International Clinic building, expanding its inpatient capacity to BH Tower building and renovating and upgrading the existing hospital building as it is entering its 10th year of operation. The new Bumrungrad International Clinic is a 22-storey outpatient facility, with the first 10 floors being used as parking spaces and the top 12 floors as outpatient clinics. The Company plans to gradually occupy the building floor by floor as the additional space is needed, and expects to take 5-7 years before the building is fully occupied. In February 2007, the parking space was open for patient use, while the health screening center was the first unit to occupy the 11th floor of the new Bumrungrad International Clinic in March 2007.

67


Annual Report 2006 Bumrungrad Hospital Public Company Limited

The Company also has a long-term plan to expand its inpatient capacity to grow in line with the expansion of its outpatient capacity. The Company plans to reacquire the BH Tower Building from Bangkok Bank Pcl. and to gradually convert the building into inpatient beds. The building was given to Bangkok Bank Pcl. as part of the Company’s debt restructuring plan after the economic crisis in 1997 and it is currently being leased from Bangkok Bank Pcl. to be used as the serviced apartments for patients’ families and relatives. The third part of the expansion plan is the renovation and upgrade of the existing hospital building as it is entering its 10th year of operations. This includes rolling renovation of existing patient beds as well as expansion of the outpatient clinics that remain in this existing building while others move to the new Bumrungrad International Clinic Building. After the 5-7 years of expansion, the Company’s capacity will ultimately increase to 650 beds and 6,000 outpatients per day, almost doubling its current capacity, and making Bumrungrad one of the largest outpatient clinics in the world. Bumrungrad International Limited (BIL) Bumrungrad International Limited is the Company’s 51% subsidiary which operates as a holding company, with the objective to invest in overseas healthcare related businesses through joint ventures with local partners and to provide consulting and management services for those businesses. Currently, BIL has investments through its subsidiaries in two hospitals in the Philippines and in United Arab Emirates. BIL made a 43.25% investment in Asian Hospital Inc. (AHI) in 2005. AHI commenced its operations in 2002 and is one of the first large-scale private hospitals in Manila. It is a 258-bed hospital located in the south of Metro Manila and is well known for its modern medical equipment and experienced physicians, particularly in cardiology. Similar to the Bangkok facility, AHI also targets the middle class population. In 2006, BIL entered into a 49% joint venture with Istithmar PJSC, an investment arm of the United Arab Emirates government, to operate a 250-bed private hospital under the name Bumrungrad Hospital Dubai. Currently, the hospital is under construction and is expected to be operational in 2009. In addition to the two existing investments, BIL is aggressively pursuing other investment opportunities in the region. In July 2006, BIL went through a capital increase process and invited Istithmar, Temasek and Bangkok Bank Pcl. as strategic partners. In addition to the capital availability, the strategic partners are also sources of new investment opportunities and network in their respective regions of presence. As a result of the capital increase, the Company’s shareholding in BIL was diluted from 100% to 51%. Industry and Competition As at 2003, there were 346 private hospitals in Thailand, of which 100 are in Bangkok. The demand for healthcare continues to grow with the growth of GDP and the rise of life expectancy. However, supply of private healthcare facilities in Thailand remains in excess of domestic demand and as a result competition for Thai patients remains intense. Many private hospitals have undergone upgrades to keep pace with Bumrungrad including quality of service and building renovations and expansion. In any case, the private healthcare industry in Thailand is a fragmented market and only a few hospitals are operating close to its full capacity.

68


Annual Report 2006 Bumrungrad Hospital Public Company Limited

The bigger market that is growing faster than domestic demand is medical tourism. The global medical tourism industry is expected to see continued strong growth as more and more people are traveling abroad for healthcare services. Thailand’s regional competitors are hospitals in countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and India. Private hospitals in Thailand have a competitive advantage compared to many of the countries, as Thailand has a unique combination of high quality healthcare, accessibility and affordability, coupled with Thailand being a popular tourist destination with a good supporting infrastructure. Within Thailand itself, there are only a few private hospitals that have the technology and sophistication to address the needs of international patients. The Company’s strategy is to maintain quality superiority through a differentiated product that includes Bumrungrad as Asia’s first internationally accredited hospital. Also, pricing is targeted within the top tier of Thai hospitals while remaining price competitive in the region. For regional competition, in addition to maintaining the quality and the pricing strategy, the Company also seeks to continue as the dominant player by operating hospitals in key markets through investments in hospitals abroad, which at present includes the Philippines and the Middle East. In addition, the Company operates twenty overseas representative offices in its major markets and has an international patient center to accommodate the needs of international patients. The Company is also a tertiary referral center for both domestic and international hospitals. 4.

Risk Factors

1.

Slow down of the tourism industry In the past, Thailand’s tourism industry has been affected by many issues, including public health epidemics, international terrorism, the unrest in southern Thailand, and most recently, the political situation and the Bangkok New Year’s bombings. Although medical tourism is not as easily affected as the regular tourism industry as there is an established relationship between patients and the hospital and physicians, these events could cause a postponement or a reduction in number of patients traveling to Thailand and could in turn affect revenues from international patients. In order to minimize the possible risk, the Company maintains a balanced portfolio of international and Thai patients so that the Company does not rely excessively on revenue from international patients.

2.

Intensified competition in the premium healthcare sector With the current environment where purchasing power may be slowing down because of the political and economic uncertainties, while the supply of private hospital remains high, competition in the private healthcare sector continues to intensify. The risk of the Company losing its clients to other competitors therefore increases. In order to maintain its leading position in Thailand and Asia and to mitigate the risk, the Company has invested in up-to-date technology and has continuously improved its quality of care. The Company was the first hospital in Asia to receive US standard accreditation from Joint Commission International Accreditation (JCIA), and was the first private hospital in Thailand to receive Thai Hospital Accreditation (HA). In addition, the Company has a strong client base of referral patients both from within Thailand and internationally. This signifies the reputation of the Company as the leader both within Thailand and in the region.

69


Annual Report 2006 Bumrungrad Hospital Public Company Limited

3.

Shortage of professional staff The hospital business requires personnel with specific technical expertise and knowledge, including nurses, pharmacists and various technicians. A shortage of these professionals is possible due to the increasing demand. In addition, because the Company sees the importance of its international client base, multi-lingual professionals are also required. In order to minimize the risk, the Company offers competitive compensation and benefits for its staff. The Company also provides education and training, recreation and staff welfare activities to all staff members, on par with other competitors. Through a decentralized management structure, the Company also offers excellent career paths to various categories of staff members.

4.

International investments Bumrungrad International Limited (“BIL”) has made investments in hospitals in the Philippines and the United Arab Emirates. Such investments carry the inherent risk of investment and expose the Company to country and currency risk outside Thailand. To mitigate this risk, BIL’s experienced international management team conducts extensive feasibility studies and carries out detailed due diligence using firms with local knowledge before recommending Company’s investment. Risk is also reduced by engaging local equity partners in most overseas investments.

5.

Legal disputes Hospital business is subject to litigation risk attended to the provision of healthcare services by hospital staff and physicians. Therefore, in order to minimize the risk, the Company has implemented a healthcare risk management system to ensure that the risk of mistakes by the Company’s personnel is minimized and corrected. In addition, the Company has various insurance policies in place against possible legal lawsuits.
