Annual Report 2011 Electricity Generating Public Co., Ltd.
Message from the Chairman The previous year has been another year of challenge for the business sector. Although the global economy begins to recover from the economic crisis that has prevailed over the past three years, Thailand has experienced an economic upturn owing to the domestic demand with successive increases in private investment and consumption, and exports. Nonetheless, there has still been an impact caused by political instability, overall higher expenditure on energy, and flooding at the end of the year. As regards the energy situation, particularly that of the power generating business, in 2011, the government sector has set up a 20-year plan in developing the country’s electric power productivity from 2010 to 2030. According to this plan, the emphasis will be placed on the security of the electric power system, dissemination of energy sources in producing electricity, and the use of renewable energy for the Green PDP plan to be in accordance with the 15-year Renewable Energy Development Plan of the Ministry of Energy as well as to enhance efficient energy consumption, and to promote efficient production of electricity using cogeneration.
“...EGCO Group is determined to develop the organization, progressing and strengthening under good corporate governance with an awareness of the best interests of every stakeholder...�
The Electricity Generating Public Company Limited or the EGCO Group is determined to develop the organization, progressing and strengthening under good corporate governance with an awareness of the best interests of every stakeholder. To achieve sustainable growth as the first independent power producer in Thailand, in 2011, the Company adjusted its strategies in expanding investments in the energy business, both in Thailand and the ASEAN region, as well as investing in projects related to the use of energy of different forms or natural energy such as hydroelectric power, solar power and wind power. In addition to the management of existing projects, the Company is constantly searching for quality projects with good returns in the future and at an acceptable level of risk. The knowledge base regarding the energy market, investment opportunities and governance structure in the ASEAN countries has been continually developed in order to achieve the integrated business of the EGCO Group; covering the upstream - the energy business - and the downstream - the future electricity production and distribution business - in order to preserve our market share as the leading energy company, and to consistently strengthen the financial status and the operating results of the EGCO Group. In the previous year, the EGCO Group purchased more shares from the Quezon Power (Philippines) Co., Ltd., the owner of the Quezon coal-fired Power Plant, acquiring a further 26.125 %, making the EGCO Group hold total shares of 52.125% in Quezon. In addition, the EGCO Group purchased shares from Xayaburi Power Co., Ltd (XPCL) accounting for 12.50% of the whole shares, to be part of the development of the Xayaburi Power Plant Project, a hydroelectric power plant in dam in Laos. Furthermore, in 2010 the EGCO Group was selected to be the small power producer responsible for three projects, on a firm contract basis, using cogeneration by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) according to the resolution of the Energy Regulatory Commission. Each project supplies 90 megawatts covering the period of 25 years. The Company and EGAT have already signed the sale contract.

Moreover, the Lopburi Solar project by Natural Energy Development Co.,Ltd (NED), in which the EGCO Group holds 33.33% of the shares, has commenced producing and distributing electricity to EGAT for phase one, accounting for eight megawatts. The contract will be complete in mid-2012. This is a solar power plant using solar cell technology on the largest thin film in the world with a productivity of 55 megawatts. With all these examples of progress, in 2011 the EGCO Group had a total of 15 power plants in operation, accounting for the ratio of productivity to shareholding at 4,419.97 megawatts - 58.95 megawatts more when compared to 2010. Of this number, 3,864.19 megawatts was distributed to EGAT. When compared to the country’s total productivity of 31,446.71 megawatts, this comprises 12.29 % of the country’s total productivity. The EGCO Group is a power producer producing electricity from a great variety of types of energy, in compliance with the policy of the government sector in disseminating energy consumption to promote energy security. As regards the 2011 operating results, the Company obtained a net profit of 4,990 million baht, or a net profit of 9.48 baht per share. However, if not taking into account the impact caused by the exchange rate and the expense of special circumstances - the EGCO Group would have gained a net profit of 6,049 million baht. In total, the EGCO Group owns property worth 72,956 million baht and paid dividend from the operating results of the first half of 2011 at 2.50 baht per share. The Company is certain that the dividend payment will continue to remain at a satisfactory and appropriate level. The EGCO Group, aware of the sustainability of the environment and society in general as the foundations of success of every enterprise, adheres to operating under the vision of “conserving the environment and developing society” by fostering and reducing any impact caused by business operations alongside enhancing competency and collaboration with every sector in continually developing the environment and society. Moreover, staff are encouraged to take part in such operations on a regular basis. The Company believes that it will help strengthen capacity and work skills as well as instill public-mindedness in EGCO employees, making them become quality personnel within the organization in addition to being civil-minded citizens in society. Bearing this in mind, projects for community and society are operated in a progressive manner covering three aspects: the promotion and development of quality of life in community, the conservation of the environment and natural resources, and the promotion of learning about the environment and creating public-mindedness among youth. With its determination to move the Company forward, in 2011 the EGCO Group received recognition from a number of sectors. The Company was ranked tenth for best listed companies of the year, fourth for best companies in the energy and public utilities category, fifth for the best companies in Thailand as regards net profit to total revenue according to the ranking conducted by Money and Banking Magazine. Furthermore, the Company received the ‘Top Corporate Governance Report Awards’ and ‘Corporate Social Responsibility Awards’ for the companies listed in Stock Exchange of Thailand with over 10,000 million baht worth of stocks at the stock exchange price at the SET Awards 2011 organized by the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) and Money and Banking Magazine. The Company was one of five companies to obtain Corporate Social Responsibility Excellence at the Thailand Corporate Excellence Awards organized by

Added to all this were “The Board of Directors of the Year for Exemplary Practices 2010/2011”, “The Audit Committee of the Year” and the “Board with Consistent Best Practices” at the Board of the Year Awards 2010/2011 organized by the Thai Institute of Directors, the Stock Exchange of Thailand, the Thai Chamber of Commerce, the Federation of Thai Industries, the Thai Bankers’ Association, the Thai Listed Companies Association and the Federation of Thai Capital Market Organizations. In relation to the operational standards of power plants, the EGCO Group has received continual acceptance from various institutes : Nam Theun 2 Power Plant Project was recognized and selected as a Distinctive Hydroelectric Power Plant in the World in 2011 under the Renewable Energy Type; Lopburi Solar Project received the Crow Standard as the operator of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project and as a social contributor; Khanom Power Plant received the “Best Practice Workplace on Safety, Occupational Health and Work Environment Award” at the national level for the 12th consecutive year during the 25th Safety Week organized by the Ministry of Labor, and the “Best Practice Workplace on Labor Relations and Labor Welfare Award” for the fifth consecutive year; EGCO Cogen Power Plant received the Corporate Social Responsibility Certification of Rayong; Roi Et Green Power Plant obtained the “Best Practice Workplace on Safety, Occupational Health and Work Environment Award” at the national level for the second consecutive year during the Safety Week organized by the Ministry of Labor, and received Green Commitment Level 1 with the aim to reduce the impact on the environment from the Ministry of Industry. The above-mentioned success is a result of the support from every sector relating to the EGCO Group. On behalf of the Company’s Board, executives and every EGCO member of staff, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all shareholders, joint venture partners, trading partners and every involved party for their continued support. We hope to have your trust in ensuring you that the Company will conduct itself in accordance with the principles of good corporate governance and social responsibility in the highest interests of all stakeholders and will continue to do so to develop the sustainable growth of the organization alongside that of our country.

Annual Report 2011 Electricity Generating Public Co., Ltd.
“...EGCO is a holding company, its main source
of revenue is from the dividend income from subsidiaries and share
of profits from joint ventures...�
63
Business Characteristics The Electricity Generating Public Company Limited or EGCO is the first independent power producer in Thailand incorporated on May 12, 1992 by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT). Such incorporation marked the commencement of the Thai government’s privatization initiatives to allow broader private sector investment in the electricity generating sector. On March 23, 1994, EGCO was transformed into a public company and then listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) on January 16, 1995. Since EGCO is a holding company, its main source of revenue is from the dividend income from subsidiaries and share of profits from joint ventures which are located in both Thailand and the Asian region. EGCO Group companies either operate in the power sector with long term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) or conduct other related business. Business Lines EGCO businesses can be categorized into 4 groups as follows : 1.
Independent Power Producer (IPP) Group : This Group comprises 4 power plants being Rayong Power Plant, Khanom Electricity Generating Co., Ltd., BLCP Power Ltd., and Gulf Power Generation Co., Ltd. The combined megawatt equity is 3,453 megawatt which accounts for 78.12% of EGCO’s total asset capacity. The combined megawatt equity is less than last year by 75 megawatt due to the expiration of PPA of Khanom power plant Unit 1on June 19, 2011.
2.

The combined capacity is 295.73 megawatt equity, representing 6.69% of EGCO’s total asset capacity. The combined megawatt equity is more than the last year by 2.67 megawatt due to Commercial Operation Date (COD) of the first stage of Lopburi Solar power plant on December 22, 2011.
3.
Overseas Power Producer Group : This Group comprises 4 power plants being Western Mindanao Power Corporation, Southern Philippines Power Corporation, Quezon Power (Philippines) Ltd., Co., in Philippines and Nam Theun 2 Power Co., Ltd., in Lao PDR. The combined megawatt equity is 671.24 megawatt, representing 15.19% of EGCO’s total asset capacity. The combined megawatt equity is higher than last year by 131.28 megawatt due to the additional acquisition of 26.125% interest in Quezon Power (Philippines) Ltd.,Co., on March 25, 2011.

EGCO’s Competitiveness EGCO is the first independent power producer in Thailand. EGCO is a holding company with investment in power generation and supply pass subsidiaries and Joint Venture Companies. As a prototype privatization, EGCO has enjoyed several privileges initiated to encourage the private sector’s participation which makes EGCO to possess advantage in view of the following
1. EGCO is creditable among the financial source and investors. 2. EGCO’s personnel are transferred from EGAT, which is the country’s sole source of personnel in power industry, thus contributing to efficient operations. Its rivals, which are just set up, on the contrary, need to recruit personnel that may have no enough expertise or be costly or take time for training.
Opportunity of new entrants At present, the opportunity for new entrepreneurs, especially the international power company, to enter this industry is possible. However, there are several obstacles due to the following :
1. Investment capital restriction : Power plant construction needs huge investment capital New entrants must have a very strong financial position.
2. Human resource restriction : Personnel with expertise in this area is scarce, so recruitment is difficult and costly. Currently, it is possible for potential international power companies to play more roles in Thailand’s power industry.

97
2. Equitable Treatment of Shareholders 2.1 Fair Treatment
The Board regularly reviews the governance structure and framework to ensure that the shareholders, including minority and foreign shareholders, are treated equitably and that EGCO procedures do not make it unduly difficult or expensive to observe shareholders’ rights. The Board encourages shareholders to take part in EGCO’s governance and ensures that they are well informed about the significant decisions of EGCO as prescribed by laws and the Articles of Association. •
EGCO strictly follows its policy not to raise any agenda items which had not been submitted to the shareholders in advance, to make sure that other shareholders would have a great deal of time to stud y relevant information before making their decisions. Every shareholder has a right to cast vote according to their numbers of shares on “a one share one vote” basis. EGCO has never granted a privilege for some specific shares which limits the rights of other shareholders.
•
To adhere to the best practice as recommended by the SET regarding the right of minority shareholders, EGCO announced via EGCO’s website and the SET’s portal the clear and transparent procedures for shareholders to recommend AGM agenda and to nominate director candidates to the Board during the period of November 2, 2010 - January 17, 2011 (about 60 days before the AGM date). The shareholders who would like to propose the agenda or director candidates should hold not less than 100,000 shares which are lower than the SET’s recommended practice of holding not less than 0.5% of the total voting rights of the company. In 2011, no minor shareholders recommended AGM agenda nor nominate director candidates in advance. (Remarks : The Board of Directors in the meeting on August 22, 2011 resolved to offer minority shareholders the right to recommend agenda and questions for 2012 AGM along with the director nominees to EGCO during the period of September 1 - December 31, 2011 in accordance with the criteria that the minority shareholders who were entitled to such right should hold the minimum shares of 0.05% of the total outstanding shares (equivalent to 263,230 shares as at September 1, 2011)).
• Voting cards were provided for all agenda items for transparency and audit trail. Director election also allowed shareholders to vote on individual nominees. •
Shareholders who could not attend in person could vote by proxy. The three proxy forms as introduced by Department of Business Development, Ministry of Commerce were provided which included the form that allowed the shareholders to direct the voting. Three independent directors who did not have the conflict of interests with the AGM agenda were offered as volunteer proxies. In a bid to facilitate the shareholders, the proxy forms could be downloaded from EGCO’s website.
• Since most of the shareholders attending the meeting were Thai, the meeting was conducted in Thai. However, to facilitate foreign shareholders, EGCO prepared the notice of meeting in both Thai and English. English interpreting service was also provided at the meeting room. • With the awareness that some shareholders might not be able to read the minutes of meeting on the SET’s and EGCO’s website, a hard copy of the minutes of meeting no. 1/2011 were delivered to each shareholder for review. 2.2 Prohibition of Abusive Conduct by Insiders
EGCO has set up the written guidelines in the Code of Conduct for Directors and employees to prohibit improper insider trading and abusive conduct by insiders to ensure fairness to all shareholders.
Directors
• Directors must not make improper use of information acquired by virtue of the directors’ position.
• Directors must not disclose matters such as trade secrets, or sensitive business information to outsiders.
98
Annual Report 2011 Electricity Generating Public Co., Ltd.
• Directors must not buy or sell shares as a director of EGCO while in possession of information, which, if disclosed publicly, would be likely to materially affect EGCO share price. • Directors must not provide to anyone any information which is not publicly available and which would have a material effect on the price or value of EGCO’s securities.
Employees
• Employees shall at all times observe the rules and regulations issued by the SET, the SEC and other governing laws which include the equitable disclosure to shareholders and the public. • Any information disclosure to the public that will affect the business and EGCO’s stock must be approved by the President. Only the President or the assigned staff member is authorized to disclose such information. • The Corporate Communications Division, the Corporate Secretary Division and the Investor Relations Section are responsible for disclosing EGCO information to the public while it is the responsibility of the information owner to provide the fact sheets.
EGCO also sets the policy that Management and employees who have the inside information relating to financial statements should refrain from their own security trading within 45 days before and 24 hours after a disclosure date. For other significant inside information, Management and employees should refrain from security trading from the day of acknowledgement until 24 hours after disclosure to public. In addition, EGCO has put in place the internal control system to prevent the leakage of any information before the public disclosure. Such measure was a part of significant risk management. Supervisors also have the responsibility to ensure that the measure to safeguard inside information is effective. Using inside information for own or other benefits of security trading when that information has not made public is considered violating the Code of Conduct.
2.3 Disclosure of Directors and Management’s Interest in EGCO’s Business
The Board sets the guidelines that directors and Management discloses to the Board whether they have a material interest in any transaction or matter affecting EGCO to ensure transparency and to prevent conflicts of interest.
•
Directors will promptly notify EGCO when they or their family member is a partner or shareholder of any entity which may incur benefits or conflicts of interest with EGCO, acquire a direct or indirect interest in any contract made with EGCO or hold shares or debentures of EGCO or any affiliate. Directors or management with potential conflict of interest shall refrain from discussing and voting on such agenda item.
•
Directors and Management should disclose to the Board their securities holdings at every Board meeting. There is also a statement informing directors at every meeting that directors, management including their spouses, minor children and related persons under Section 258 of the Securities and Exchange Act have a responsibility to prepare and disclose any change in shareholding of the Company to the SEC within three days.
In 2011, the Board also sets the policy for directors and management including related persons to report their interest in the Company to comply with the Notification of the CMSB no. Tor Jor 2/2009 as follows :
1. Directors and executives should submit the form to report their interest to the Corporate Secretary on a quarterly basis.
2. In case of any change during the quarter, the updated form should be submitted to the Corporate Secretary as soon as possible. 3. The Corporate Secretary shall submit the form to the Chairman and the Chairman of the Audit Committee within 7 days after getting such report.
99
In 2011, the Board did not get any complaints for not respecting shareholders’ rights or any accusation regarding director’s and Management’s insider trading. This shows the efficient control of the Board on such matter. 3. Role of Stakeholders 3.1 Rights of Stakeholders
Apart from observing the rights of the shareholders, the Board takes due regard of and deal fairly with various stakeholders and encourages active cooperation with them which include both business and corporate social responsibility matters. The Board has set up the guidelines to respond to the requirements of each stakeholder in the Corporate Governance Principle and “EGCO Group’s Code of Conduct” with the expectations that directors, Management and employees shall be guided by those principles in discharging their duties.

• Fairness : The fraud investigation will be made by a panel to ensure fairness to the defenders. In addition, whistleblowers will be appropriately protected.
• Lesson Learn : Case study on fraud risks both in Thailand and overseas will be used to train supervisors on fraud prevention.
In 2011, there is no claim or any fraud found in EGCO Group due to the above efficient preventive measures.
5.4 Board Meeting
To ensure that the Board takes full responsibility to meet the expectations of the shareholders, the Board reviews significant business policy and corporate calendar. In this regard, it is determined that the Board meeting will be held at least once every two months. Extra Meeting can be called if there is any major unplanned event that needs the Board’s consideration. The Board can also authorize the committees to scrutinize or approve the management’s activities within the delegated authority during the meeting interval. The Board also instructed management to provide monthly performance report so that the Board can follow up the business progress despite not having the Board meeting.
To facilitate the directors, EGCO plans the meeting dates and the agenda for the whole year in advance. The Chairman and President fix the agenda for the Board’s meeting. Each director can propose the agenda to the Chairman and can deliver their independent judgment. The Corporate Secretary shall serve written notice calling for the Board meeting at least one week in advance except for necessary or urgent case to preserve the rights or benefits of the Company where the meeting may be called by other methods and an earlier meeting date may be chosen. Meeting document are sent to the directors in advance to allow adequate time for digesting such information. Agenda is prioritized in terms of significance i.e., Matter Arising, Matter for Consideration, Matter for Information to ensure that items that need the most careful deliberation are given adequate time.
The Chairman allocates adequate time for Management to present their issues and to permit directors to conduct extensive discussion of agenda items and other topics of interest. The minutes of meeting are drafted for the Board’s review within 14 days after the meeting prior to the adoption at the next meeting. The Board had called 7 meetings in 2011. Each meeting took approximately 2 hours and a half. The average attendance rate was 94.28%.
Since EGCO has a number of directors who do not reside in Thailand, EGCO has set the policy to allow those directors to attend the meeting by teleconference so that EGCO and the Board will benefit from their opinion and recommendations. Such attendance is not considered the meeting quorum and those who attend the meeting by teleconference do not have the right to vote.
The Board encourages the President to invite top Management being the senior executive vice presidents to attend all the Board’s meeting. Other Managements are invited to join the meeting as deemed necessary to provide additional insights into the items being discussed because of personal involvement in those areas. Managers with future potential are given exposure to

The Board set up a policy for non executive directors to call a meeting at least once a year. There are two meetings in 2011.

118 Annual Report 2011 Electricity Generating Public Co., Ltd.
Accountability for Stakeholders Employees Fully aware that our people are the road that leads to the success and sustainability of economic, social and environmental operations, the EGCO Group emphasizes creating relationships between employees and the organization through its operations compatible with its policy and responsive to employees’s needs. The management is divided into three main aspects : 1. Fundamental Management, covering two areas of operation :
1.1 Specification of compensation and benefits
The EGCO Group sets its compensation system according to the rank, responsibility and competence of employees as well as provides benefits and welfare to employees and their families based mainly on necessity and their reasonable needs according to appropriate principles. The annual increase in the wages of employees at every level is considered according to these two major components :
• Success of the organization : taking into account the average rate of wage increases of businesses within the industry, the economic conditions each year, and consideration of the management division.
• Operating results and perseverance of employees
1.2 Training and development
All in all, the standards used to set the wage increase are to promote the fairness of wage increases among employees in order to keep competent and good employees with the organization. Moreover, the EGCO Group constantly studies, analyses and compares compensation and benefits with those of other businesses in the same industry to assure that employees receive proper compensation, benefits, and welfare at a competitive level in the market. The welfare committee has been set up comprising employees who are interested and ready to monitor, follow up and provide comments and suggestions to enhance the efficiency of welfare management enabling the company to respond to the needs and satisfaction of employees at every level. This is one way to promote good labour relations between employees and the company. The EGCO Group is well aware of the importance of the development of skills, competence and potential of personnel which helps strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of the current operations and creates the opportunity to progress along future career paths. The company, therefore, allocated budget and time for its employees to continually train and develop in 2011. The people development plan of the EGCO Group places emphasis on the development of the organization’s desirable competency including core competency, managerial competency and functional competency. This goes paralleled with the application of the individual development plan and job rotation in accordance with the five year development plan
119
(Development Road Map Model) to enhance the work competence of each employee consistent with the direction and operating plan of the organization and to prepare for any changes in the external environment.
Figure : People Development Plan 2011
In 2011, the human resource division of the EGCO Group has developed employees through a variety of projects and courses such as self-learning, training conducted by experts, field trips, sharing and learning among employees, and practice.
Figure : Employees Development Road Map
2. Relationship Management The EGCO Group realizes the significance of individuality in addition to a focus on teamwork. Therefore, the value and culture of the organization are promoted among employees to generate acceptance and respect towards individual differences. This can lead to coordination and work collaboration through the core competency of the EGCO Group called DRIVE.
120 Annual Report 2011 Electricity Generating Public Co., Ltd.
The EGCO Group believes that good relationships are one factor stimulating employees to work happily. When employees are happy working and have competence suitable to the job as continually trained and developed, they will produce efficient work. In the meantime, the operation of the organization will eventually succeed.
In 2011, the EGCO Group organized the following activities to create and encourage better relations among employees :
• Communication Day: a quarterly semi-formal gathering in which the executive officers and employees meet to share information, news and trends, both inside and outside the organization, and employees are given anopportunity to present, exchange ideas as well as ask the executives questions.
• Employee Visit: the President visits the employees in the EGCO Group to explain the direction of operations, talk, answer questions and have lunch with employees. In 2011, this activity was organized twice with the committee and the executives meeting with employees from Rayong Power Plant and Khanom Power Plant.
• EGCO Group Knowledge Sharing: an activity in which the executives or employees share their knowledge, experience and expertise to the employees in the EGCO Group. The activity also allows employees at every level to exchange knowledge. This activity was organized once in 2011.
•
EGCO Group Sports Day: an annual activity to promote relations among employees through sport activities. Each company under the Group takes turns to be a host so that employees have the opportunity to learn about the operations of other companies and power plants in the EGCO Group. In 2011 Rayong Power Plant was the host organizing this activity in Rayong.
In addition to these activities, each company organizes a number of events to promote internal relations such as New Year’s parties, retirement parties, and religious and cultural activities. The companies also support activities organized by employees’ clubs such as the photo club, Buddhism club, and golf club. In the meantime, the EGCO Group shares information, news and its activities through various channels such as in-house magazines, E-newsletter, public announcement board, phone lines, mobile telephones with the objective to receive and send information between the companies and employees and to encourage employees to participate in activities that the company group organizes. 3. Management in Participation and Social Creation
The EGCO Group strongly believes that promoting employees to take part in activities organized by the organization and society is one way to develop “competency” and raise awareness in the “value” of oneself.
Apart from assigning employees to work with a community in each area to initiate and oversee a useful activity to enhance the quality of life and to preserve the environment of a community, the EGCO Group provides its employees with the opportunity to become “volunteer employees” to develop society through a preservation of the watershed forest activity and to promote learning and public-mindedness among young people. This is carried out with the objective to promote collaboration between employees from the EGCO Group, the public and private sectors, and communities.
In 2011, employees from the EGCO Group had the chance to continue over 20 projects for communities and society overseen by the organization and took part in flood victim relief in Nakhon Sri Thammarat and Surat Thani as well as the earthquake and tsunami in Japan and the devastating floods in Thailand at the end of 2011.

Risk Factors To create long term value for shareholders, EGCO recognizes the importance of properly analyzing and managing its business risks. The Board of Directors entrusted the Audit Committee to review the Company’s risk management policies while the Management has the responsibility to implement such policies and report the progress to the Audit Committee and the Board. In this regard, the Risk Management Committee has been set up at the Management level which comprises EGCO’s top executives and the Managing Directors of EGCO subsidiaries. EGCO’s President serves as the chairman of the Committee. Rayong Power Plant and EGCO subsidiaries such as KEGCO, and ESCO also have their own risk management committees to help ensure that their particular risks will be managed adequately. EGCO Group has set up the risk management policy in a Risk Management Manual which serves as a guideline for the EGCO Group. About the flood situation in central Thailand and Bangkok areas, EGCO group’s electricity generation and operation have not been affected by the floods. The details are presented in this article. A summary of key risk factors and associated mitigation measures is as follows : 1. Investment Risk EGCO invests in electricity generating business. Its main sources of income are dividends from subsidiaries and joint ventures which sell and distribute power under long term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA). EGCO plans to continuously invest in new projects in accordance with EGCO’s strategy. Such project development may entail risks that will affect EGCO’s investment target. The investment risks are as follow : 1.1 Risks from Project Development
EGCO plans to expand its investment in order to maintain continuous growth, both in Thailand and foreign countries. Key projects are listed in the investment plan so that EGCO can appropriately allocate resources to those projects. Failure to add new assets to the portfolio either through Greenfield development or Acquisition will affect EGCO’s long-term outlook. Also, according to the decrease of revenue in electricity tariff structure, the earnings from new projects may not timely substitute forthe declining of revenue from existing power plants.
131
However, the environment of the project and the project itself are the risk factors of project development caused by uncertainty and business competition which can occur regularly.
To ensure the success of project development, EGCO Business Development Team has analyzed and identified the key risks involved. These include economic, political, and social policies of target countries, economic situation, financial costs, as well as machine, equipment, and construction costs. Moreover, compliance with laws and regulations to prevent environmental, social,and health impacts are concerned as well.
EGCO has prepared risk mitigation measures. For instance, fundamental analysis of target countries was conducted by gathering necessary information such as Power Development Plan (PDP), electricity and tax structure. Project information such as factors of electricity generating will be studied to appraise whether the projects are feasible with acceptable cost and competitive prices.
Besides the project feasibility, EGCO also set up the mechanisms and process to review and scrutinize new investment. Such mechanisms include the review by EGCO Management Committee which comprise EGCO’s top management, and the Investment Committee which is the Board’s committee to ensure that all material risks are identified and managed. The committees will also review the major conditions of the Shareholders’ Agreement such as dividend policy, rights to audit before submitting those agreements for the Board’s consideration.
2. Operational Risks 2.1 Risk of Failure to Get Target Return on Investment
EGCO has the responsibility to properly monitor and manage its investment in order to reach or exceed targeted return on investment. Without efficient mechanism to manage investment assets, EGCO may not get return on investment at target. Typical measures imposed to mitigate relevant risks are as follows :
•
Establish asset management policies and, where possible, assign management and staffs to be EGCO Group representatives’ directors or management of its subsidiaries and investment projects.
• Monitor operating performances of each facility and analyze the actual return on investment against the planned target.
•
Prepare regular progress reports to senior management and the Board of Directors so that a timely and appropriate action can be taken. The exceptional operating performance is to be reported as well.
• Coordinate with partners for joint-audit in investment companies to ensure the adequacy and effective of internal control system.
With these actions, EGCO will achieve target return on investment. According to the 2010 operating performance report, the incomes from EGCO’s portfolio have been received in line with modeled results.
2.2 Plant Performance Risks
A commitment to generate and deliver electricity pursuant to a PPA with EGAT entails the performance risks which may caused by staff, equipment and management approach. The significant performance risks are as summarized below :
(1) Plant Efficiency
There are various efficiency benchmarks under a PPA with EGAT i.e., Equivalent Availability Factor (EAF) and Heat Rates. Failure to meet these performance requirements would result in penalties and potential termination in certain extreme cases.
The cause of such risk may be power plant aging. With consistent, professional maintenance being a policy in place for each of EGCO Group’s power plants, this risk is considered to be low. Despite that, the management has established systematic procedures to ensure that all relevant performance targets are met. These procedures are as follows :
132 Annual Report 2011 Electricity Generating Public Co., Ltd.
- To include the key plant efficiency parameters in the Corporate Key Performance Indicators of power plants in the EGCO group in order to ensure that the production efficiency is closely monitored and all employees take part in the plant efficiency.
(3) Fuel Shortage for Electricity Generation
The risks of a fuel shortage for electricity generation can result in plant stoppages, revenue shortfall or penalty payments.The shortage of “coal and biomass” fuel type could be caused by increasing demand or price fluctuation. Furthermore, natural disaster such as floods may affect the quality and quantity of fuel.
- To ensure that the scheduled preventive maintenance of power plant equipment is carried out on a regular basis by qualified staff. - To ensure that spare part inventory is adequate and well managed. - To implement the Quality Management System (ISO : 9001:2008) to ensure that those power plants operate in accordance with the terms of their PPAs - To continuously develop the competencies of the firms’ human resources. With consistent operation along with these mitigation actions, the chance of this risk is low. (2) Raw Water Shortage for Electricity Generating The electricity generating process requires pretreatment and demineralization of raw water for cooling system and steam boiler system. The risk of a raw water shortage can result in plant stoppages, revenue shortfall, or penalty payments. The risk could be caused by climate change, overall increasing of water usage. Not enough amount of rainfall or the delay of rainy season in some years may affect to sufficient reserve of raw water.
From the past record, EGCO Group has never before experienced any fuel shortage. However, the measures are set to closely monitor and to prevent and mitigate such risk for continuous power generation as follows :
- To set up Early Warning Systems for critical information regarding the plant operation processes.
Although EGCO Group has never before experienced any water shortage, the measures are set to prevent and mitigate such risks by increasing the raw water storage capacity, seeking additional sources of raw water supply and setting measures to maximize the benefit of water usage. The risk of raw water shortage is quite low.
- EGCO Group’s gas fired power plants, which contributed 54% of 2010 total electricity sales revenues, have enjoyed long term Gas Supply Agreements with PTT, except for Rayong Power Plant and KEGCO which EGAT is the gas supplier under the terms of their PPAs. The quantity and quality of natural gas and other key parameters are all specified in the relevant agreements. With PTT and/or EGAT being the main suppliers, the risks of fuel gas shortage is considered low. - EGCO Group’s coal fire power plants “BLCP and Quezon”, which contributed 36% of 2010 total electricity sales revenues, have long term Coal Supply & Transportation Agreement. The suppliers must supply coal with the quantity and quality as specified in the agreement. Efficient coal reserve management is a significant measure which can reduce this type of risk as well. Moreover, coal procurement from potential alternative suppliers when necessary is another measure to ensure the adequacy supply under the terms of the PPA. - EGCO Group’s biomass power plants using rice husks and Para wood chips as fuel,which contributed 2% of 2010 total electricity sales revenues, may face the fuel risk in terms of in a dequate supply and volatile pricing. This is because those agricultural products may have alternative uses in the market. Since long term fuel supply agreements can not be established as there are few creditworthy suppliers of such feedstock, the primary risk prevention measures are to reserve more
133
(4) Safety Health Environment and Social
fuel and to seek alternative fuel sources in surrounding areas. This mitigation measures can help manage the fuel price at a certain level. However, the biomass fuel is still a seller’s market. As such, the impact of the inadequate of such fuel on EGCO’s revenues is low.
EGCO realizes that the electricity generating process which uses natural gas and coal as primary fuels will have certain impacts on the safety, environment and quality of life of employees and surrounding communities. The cause of risk can arise from the inefficiency of power plant or the inadequate measurement. Consequently, EGCO has taken the following actions to mitigate any potential negative impactsand reduce the likelihood of such risks as follows :
With existing mitigation actions and situation monitoring, this risk likelihood is quite low.
Management is well aware of the above risks and has set the following measures to mitigate and reduce the likelihood of those risks.
- To strongly encourage employees to prudently discharge their duties with the belief that carelessness may lead to significant damages. - To periodically maintain all equipment as scheduled to ensure that they can work efficiently. - To strengthen relationship with surrounding communities to foster the right perception about EGCO business. - To strengthen relationship with local government authorities.
- Develop and live by EGCO group’s Corporate Social - To set the security plan with regular drills and provide Responsibility policy equipment such as closed circuit TV. - Develop Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) Management Manual for all EGCO owned plant as - To secure the insurance policy that covers all risks, machinery breakdown, business interruption and third guidelines for implementation and audit. party liability to assure that assets and personnel will - Prepare the work manuals and emergency plan, be properly and adequately protected and the damages implement training plan and testing of plan, equipment will be recovered even in an unexpected case and warning system while ensuring strict compliance - In 2011, the management has considered to procure with the manual. the political violence insurance policy which covers the - Develop a list of governing laws and regulations and effects of political violation and terrorist attack.

However, the insurance policy on terrorist attack have - Monitor and ensure the compliance with SHE Management already been procured for most of EGCO’s joint venture Manual power plants. By complying with the above measures regularly, we can be ensured that this risk likelihood is quite low. 3. Financial Risks (5) Accident, Resistance, and Sabotage The investments of EGCO Group are capital-intensive. Since the EGCO business may face risk from accident that may primary funding sources are loans from domestic and international cause fire. Besides, the operation may subject to the bank loan markets, foreign exchange rate fluctuation and interest community resistance if the electricity generating process rate fluctuation, are important risks to be monitored and mitigated. has negative impacts on the community.

to EGCO structure, it will lead to decline in the Group’s operating • Define procedure to turn off the electricity system in order to performance. Therefore, the mitigation measures are established protect the loss of life and the failure of office systems and computer systems. as follows : 3.1 Foreign Exchange Rate Fluctuation
EGCO Group has a policy to mitigate currency mismatches for each of its investment projects to prudent levels. In general, this is achieved by matching currencies of project development and construction costs with funding source currencies and subsequently matching the currency of long-term funding profiles with those of each project’s revenue stream during the operation phase. 3.2 Interest Rate Fluctuation EGCO Group has a policy to manage risk of interest rate fluctuation by using financial hedging instruments (namely interest rate swaps) to fix floating interest rate exposure to prudent levels in order to provide the most predictable cash flows over its long-term power purchase contracts. If interest rate fixtures are not available for the full project terms required, EGCO will seek to enter into or cause its project company’s to enter into financial instruments that can best mitigate the interest rate risks subject to market availability and cost.
•
Seek a reliable service provider to arrange a back up site at a safety zone to ensure that EGCO can communicate with related parties and employees so that the management’s policy and the situation of flood around EGCO tower will be acknowledged.

The Group has not early adopted the aforementioned accounting standards and the Group’s management is in the process of reviewing the impacts of those accounting standards. However significant changes in accounting standards relevant to the Group are summarised as below.
•
TAS 12 prescribed the accounting treatment for income taxes, comprising current tax and deferred tax. Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the taxation authorities, using tax rates and tax law that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred taxes are measured based on the temporary difference between the tax base of an asset or liability and its carrying amount in the financial statements and using the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax law that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
•
TAS 21 (Revised 2009) required each individual entity to determine its functional currency which is a currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Foreign currency transactions are required to be translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from translation at year-end exchange rate of monetary items denominated in foreign currency are recognised in profit or loss. In addition, the results and financial position of all the group entities that have a functional currency difference from the presentation currency are translated in the presentation currency by (a) assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position (b) income and expenses are translated at exchange rate at the date of the transactions and (c) all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Accounting policies (continued) 2.3 Group accounting - investments in subsidiaries and interests in joint ventures 2.3.1 Investments in subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non- controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. The excess of the consideration transferred the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly to the income statements. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or loss on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. In the company financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Under the cost method, income from investments in subsidiaries will be recorded when dividends are declared. Cost is adjusted to reflect changes in consideration arising from contingent consideration amendments. Cost also includes direct attributable costs of investment. A test for impairment for investments in subsidiaries is carried out when there is a factor indicating that investments might be impaired. If the carrying value of the investments is higher than its recoverable amount, impairment loss is charged to the income statements. A list of the Group’s subsidiaries and the financial effects of the acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries are shown in Note 13. 2.3.2 Transactions and non-controlling interests The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the Group. For changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control, the difference between any consideration paid/received and the relevant share acquired/disposed of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in shareholders’ equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in shareholders’ equity.

2 Accounting policies (continued) 2.3 Group accounting - investments in subsidiaries and interests in joint ventures (continued) 2.3.2 Transactions and non-controlling interests (continued) When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the former subsidiary is re-measured at its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in income statements. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in statements of comprehensive income in respect of the former subsidiary are accounted for in the income statements as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. 2.3.3 Interests in joint ventures The Group’s interests in jointly controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements. Under the equity method, the interests in joint ventures are initially recognised at cost which includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment loss (if any). The Group’s share of its joint ventures’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the consolidated income statements, and its share of post-acquisition movements in comprehensive income is recognised in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the interests in joint ventures. When the Group’s share of losses in joint ventures equals or exceeds its interests in joint ventures, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of joint ventures have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. In the company financial statements, interests in joint ventures are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Under the cost method, income from interests in joint ventures will be recorded when dividends are declared. A test for impairment for interests in joint ventures is carried out when there is a factor indicating that investments might be impaired. If the carrying value of the investments is higher than its recoverable amount, impairment loss is charged to the income statements. A list of the Group’s joint ventures and the financial effects of the acquisitions and disposals of joint ventures are shown in Note 13. 2.4 Foreign currency translation Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the reporting currency of that entity. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Thai Baht. Foreign currency transactions are translated into Thai Baht using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Thai Baht at the exchange rate prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statements. Income statements and statements of comprehensive income and cash flows of foreign entities are translated into the Group’s reporting currency at the weighted average exchange rates for the year and statements of financial position are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the end of the reporting period. Currency translation differences arising from the retranslation of the net investment in foreign entities are taken to shareholders’ equity. On disposal of a foreign entity, accumulated currency translation differences are recognised in the income statements as part of the gain or loss on disposal of foreign entities.

Accounting policies (continued) 2.5 Financial instruments Financial assets carried in the statement of financial position include cash and cash equivalents, investments, trade receivables and trade receivables from a related party. Financial liabilities carried in the statement of financial position include trade payables, trade payables to a related party, loans and debentures. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item. The Group is also a party to financial instruments that reduce exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These instruments are not recognised in the consolidated and company financial statements on inception. Interest rate swap contracts protect the Group from movements in interest rates. Any differential to be paid or received on the interest rate swap contracts is recognised as a component of finance costs as incurred. Disclosures about financial instruments to which the Group is a party are provided in Note 30. 2.6 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the statement of financial position at cost. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, deposits held at financial institutions and short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. 2.7 Trade receivables Trade receivables are recognised initially at original invoice amount and subsequently measured at the remaining amount less allowance for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the carrying amount and the amount expected to be collectible. Bad debts are recognised to the income statements as part of administrative expenses. 2.8 Spare parts and supplies Spare parts and supplies are stated at cost less allowance for obsolescence. Cost is calculated on the moving average basis. The spare parts are categorised as “specific spare parts” and “common spare parts”. Specific spare parts are classified into two categories, which are capital spare parts used for specific plant equipment in power plants and specific spare parts used for general use. The allowance for specific spare parts is calculated by dividing the balance of specific spare parts on hand at the year end by the number of years remaining under the Power Purchase Agreements with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), except for capital spare parts that are used for specific plant equipment in power plants (Note 2.11). The allowance for common spare parts is generally provided based on an aging analysis. 2.9 Other investments Investments other than investments in subsidiaries and interests in joint ventures are classified into the following three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale and general investments. The classification is dependent on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of the purchase and re-evaluates such designation on a regular basis. • Investments with fixed maturity that the management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to- maturity and are included in non-current assets, except those with maturities within 12 months from the end of the reporting period, which are classified as current assets. • Investments intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in response to liquidity needs or changes in interest rates, are classified as available-for-sale, and are included in non-current assets unless management has expressed the intention of holding the investment for less than 12 months from the end of the reporting period or unless they will need to be sold to raise operating capital, in which case they are included in current assets.

Electricity Generating Public Co., Ltd.
Accounting policies (continued) 2.9 Other investments (continued) • Investments in non-marketable equity securities are classified as general investments. All categories of investments are initially recognised at cost which is equal to the fair value of consideration paid plus transaction costs. Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective yield method less impairment loss. Available-for-sale investments are subsequently carried at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale are recognised in the statements of comprehensive income. The fair value of investments is based on the quoted bid price by reference to the Stock Exchange of Thailand and the Thai Bond Dealing Centre. When investments classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the income statements as gains and losses from investment in securities. General investments are carried at cost less impairment. A test for impairment is carried out when there is a factor indicating that an investment might be impaired. If the carrying value of the investment is higher than its recoverable amount, impairment loss is charged to the income statements. On disposal of an investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged or credited to the income statements. When disposing of part of the Group’s holding of a particular investment in debt or equity securities, the carrying amount of the disposed part is determined by the weighted average carrying amount of the total holding of the investment. 2.10 Investment property Property that is held for long-term rental or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the companies in the Group, is classified as investment property. Investment property also includes property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property or land held for a currently undetermined future use. Investment property of the Group is land held for a currently undetermined future use. The Group has not determined that it will use the land as owner-occupied property or as capital appreciation. Investment property is measured initially at its cost including related transaction costs. Subsequently, the investment property is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses (if any). Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. 2.11 Property, plant and equipment All property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequently all plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment (if any). The costs of property, plant and equipment comprise both the purchase price and any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Their costs also include the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which they are located, the obligation for which the Group incurs either when the items are acquired or as a consequence of having used the items during a particular period. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life, except land which is considered to have an indefinite life, as follows:
171
2 Accounting policies (continued) 2.11 Property, plant and equipment (continued) Years
Power plants Water plants and transmission pipeline Buildings and structures Substation and transmission system Operating and maintenance equipment Office equipment, furniture and computers Motor vehicles
15, 18, 20 and 21 30 10 and 20 20 and 21 5 3, 5 and 10 5
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. Capital spare parts whose estimated useful life is more than one year are capitalised and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of between 6 and 12 years when used in major repair and maintenance processes. The capital spare parts which are replaced by a major overhaul will be removed and recorded as spare parts and supplies at the net book value at the date of replacement. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statements during the financial period in which they are incurred. Where the carrying amount of asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals of assets are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within “Other gains or losses, net” in the income statements. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset, during the period of time required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the income statements. 2.12 Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net assets of the acquired subsidiary undertaking or joint venture at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is separately reported and of joint ventures is included in interests in joint ventures in the consolidated statement of financial position. Recognised goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of a subsidiary or a joint venture include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash generating units or group of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.

Accounting policies (continued) 2.13 Intangible assets 2.13.1 Right in Power Purchase Agreement and Tap Water Purchase Agreement The right in Power Purchase and Tap Water Purchase Agreements arising on acquisitions of the Group is amortised over the periods of the Power Purchase Agreements with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) and of the Water Supply Agreement with the Provincial Waterworks Authority (PWA), which are between 16 and 25 years. 2.13.2 Development expenditure Development expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technological feasibility, and only if the cost can be measured reliably. Other development expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. Development expenditure previously recognised as an expense is not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Development expenditure that has been capitalised is amortised from the commencement of the commercial operation on a straight-line basis over the power plants’ life. 2.14 Impairment of assets Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example goodwill, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets and intangible assets that have definite useful life are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its recoverable amount which is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. Assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. 2.15 Leases where a Group is the lessee Leases of assets which substantially transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated to the principal and to the finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The outstanding rental obligations, net of finance costs, are included in other long-term payables. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the income statements over the lease period. The asset acquired under finance lease is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term. Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statements on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. 2.16 Borrowings Borrowings are recognised initially at the fair value of the proceeds received, net of the transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective yield method; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised to the income statements over the period of the borrowings. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre- payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Accounting policies (continued) 2.17 Corporate income taxes The Group calculates income taxes in accordance with the Revenue Code on an accrual basis. The Group does not recognise income taxes payable or receivable in future periods in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. 2.18 Employee benefits The Group has post-employment benefits consisting of both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. Typically defined benefit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age of employee, years of service and compensation. 2.18.1 Defined benefit plan - retirement benefit The Group provides for post employment benefits, payable to employees under the labour laws applicable in Thailand and other countries in which the Group has its operations. The liability in respect of employee benefits is the present value of the defined benefit obligation which is calculated by an independent actuary in accordance with the actuarial technique. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows using yields on government bonds which have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability. The estimated future cash flows shall reflect employee salaries, turnover rate, mortality, length of service and other factors. Actuarial gains or losses will be recognised in the income statements in the period to which they relate. The costs associated with providing these benefits are charged to the income statements so as to spread the cost over the employment period during which the entitlement to benefits is earned. 2.18.2 Defined contribution plan - provident fund The Group operates a provident fund that is a defined contribution plan. The assets are held in a separate fund which is managed by an external fund manager in accordance with the Provident Fund Act B.E. 2530. The provident fund is funded by payments from employees and by the Group. Contributions to the provident fund are charged to the income statements in the year to which they relate. 2.19 Provisions 2.19.1 General provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. 2.19.2 Provision for decommissioning costs The Group recognises provision for decommissioning costs, which are provided at the onset of completion of the project, for the estimate of the eventual costs that relate to the removal of the power and water plants. The recognised provision for decommissioning costs is based on future removal cost estimates and incorporate many assumptions such as abandonment times and future inflation rate and discounted to present value at the discount rate estimated by the management. Those costs are included as part of the power and water plants.

Accounting policies (continued) 2.20 Treasury stock Treasury stock presented in the consolidated and company financial statements is carried at cost and shown as a deduction from total shareholders’ equity. Gains on disposal of treasury stock are determined by reference to its carrying amount and are taken to “Premium on treasury stock”. Losses on disposal of treasury stock are determined by reference to its carrying amount and are taken to “Premium on treasury stock” and “Retained earnings” consecutively. 2.21 Revenue recognition Sales under the Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) comprise Availability Payments and Energy Payments. Availability Payments are recognised according to the terms set out in the Power Purchase Agreement. Energy Payments are calculated based on electricity delivered. Sales under the Electricity and Steam Sales/Purchase Agreements with industrial users are recognised on delivery of electricity and steam and customer acceptance. However, under the PPAs of two subsidiaries, EGAT has to bear the natural gas cost, therefore, the calculation of revenues from the portion of energy sales of electricity and the natural gas cost of those two subsidiaries are not included in these financial statements. Revenue from construction services is recognised using the percentage of completion method. The stage of completion is measured by reference to the relationship that the contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total costs for the contract. Revenue from other services is recognised when the services have been rendered in accordance with the terms of the agreements or invoices have been issued. Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis unless collectability is in doubt. Dividend income is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established. 2.22 Dividends Dividends are recorded in the consolidated and company financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the shareholders and the Board of Directors.

Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements Accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. During 2011, the significant accounting estimates of the Group are as follows: 3.1 Useful life of power plants and water treatment plant The Group determines the estimated useful lives of power plants and the water treatment plant based on the periods of the Power Purchase Agreements and Water Purchase Agreement. 3.2 Provision for decommissioning costs The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future in relation to provision for decommissioning costs of power and water plants. The Group recognises provision for decommissioning costs of power and water plants, which are provided at the onset of completion of the project, for the estimate of the eventual costs that relate to the removal of the power and water plants. The recognised provision for decommissioning costs is based on future removal cost estimates which are by nature complicated processes and incorporate many assumptions such as abandonment times and future inflation rate.
175
3
Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements (continued) 3.3 Revenue recognition from construction services Revenue recognition under construction and services contracts is based on the stage of completion of a contract measured by applying the cost-to-cost basis to contractual revenues. Use of the stage of completion method requires estimates of future gross profit on a contract by contract basis. The future gross profit represents the profit remaining after deducting the costs attributable to the contract from the revenues provided for in the contract. The estimate of future gross profit is based on a complex estimation process that includes identification of risks and any assessment that it is necessary to estimate with sufficient precision the total future costs as well as the expected timetable.
4
Capital risk management The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, alternative practices include returning capital to shareholders, issuing new shares or selling assets to reduce debt.
5
Statements of cash flows Changes in short-term and long-term investments used as collateral are included in the statements of cash flows as cash flows from operating activities because proceeds from sales of electricity must be maintained as short-term and long-term investments used as collateral in accordance with the Master Agreements and loan agreements and debentures, as described in Note 9.

Segment information - consolidated financial statements Financial information by business operation segment The business of the Group is the generation of electricity and tap water for sale to government and industrial users, both in Thailand and overseas, including providing maintenance services and operating power plant. The Group does not disclose segment information for piped water and the provision of maintenance services and power plant operations because revenues from those two business segments were equivalent to 3.51% and 8.72% of total revenue from sales and services, respectively (2010: 3.01% and 6.35% of total revenues from sales and services, respectively).

30 Financial instruments The principal financial risks faced by the Group are interest rate and exchange rate risks. The Group borrows to finance its operations, which involve payments in foreign currencies, at both fixed and floating rates of interest. The objectives of using derivative financial instruments are to reduce the uncertainty over future cash flows arising from movements in interest rates and to manage the liquidity of cash resources. Interest rate exposure is managed through interest rate swap contracts. In respect of currency exchange risk, the formula for the calculation of revenues from the Availability Payments and Energy Payments charged to EGAT allows for the minimisation of the impact of currency exchange. Trading for speculative purposes is not allowed. All derivative transactions are subject to prior approval by the respective board of each company in the Group. (a) Financial assets and liabilities As at 31 December 2011 and 2010, the Group had outstanding foreign currency assets and liabilities after taking account of foreign currency forward contracts as details below.

30 Financial instruments (continued) (b) Credit risk The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk relating to its cash and investments. The Group places its cash and investments with high quality financial institutions. The Group’s policy is designed to limit exposure with any one institution and to invest its excess cash in low risk investment accounts. The Group has not experienced any losses on such accounts. For trade receivables, the Group’s sales are made to EGAT and industrial users under the terms and conditions of the long-term Power Purchase Agreements and the long-term Electricity and Steam Sales and Purchase Agreements. (c) Fair value The carrying amounts of the following financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair values: cash and cash equivalents, investments, trade receivables and payables, amounts due from and due to related companies, other receivables and payables, and short-term loans due to the short maturities of these instruments. Long-term loans and debentures The fair values of long-term loans with fixed interest rates have been calculated from the net present value of future cash flows discounted by market interest rates using rates at the date of financial statements. The fair values of long-term loans with floating interest rates approximate their carrying amounts. The fair value of debentures is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the market interest rate available on the latest trading date in the Thai Bond Dealing Center on the date of financial statements. The contract amounts and fair values of certain long-term loans and debentures with fixed interest rates at the date of financial statements are as follows :
