Annual Report www.snpfood.com

Message from the Chairman During 2007, the Company worked extremely hard to ensure continued growth in business, even though our operations were hindered by a number of external factors, including political uncertainty, rising costs brought about by soaring oil prices, and a general slowdown in the domestic and world economy. A difficult first half year was turned around by the Company’s decision to streamline operations across the board, rationalizing costs and closing some restaurants and shops that provided insufficient economic returns. At the same time, we invested in new restaurants and product lines that offered good future potential, focusing on our core value of success through innovation. These operational decisions helped our business to pick up in the second half year to ensure, at the end of 2007, the Company’s total revenue amounted to Baht 4,077 million, an increase of 7.3 percent over the previous year. In the domestic market, the Company expanded its business by opening 27 new S&P outlets, the majority of which are outside of our core area of Bangkok as we seek to give S&P a presence throughout Thailand. The Vanilla concept has been so well accepted by the young generation that we opened a new Vanilla Garden in May. The year also saw new additions to our bakery and meat product lines, including our successful introduction of popular Disney characters on our bakery products under a new copyright agreement with Disney Consumer Products International Inc. Delivery services in Metropolitan Bangkok under 1344 expanded by 15 percent, while sales of our catering services under the Caterman brand doubled during the year. The launch of the S&P Joy Card concept offering discounts and other benefits for our customers proved very popular, with the use of these cards expected to grow. Internationally, the Company concentrated on streamlining operations at all its branded restaurants, introducing a systemized presentation of menus, food preparation, dÊcor and service. Our aim was both to counter the rising costs overseas and prepare for expansion into new market territories in 2008. To maintain the high quality of food and services offered by S&P, the Company continues to place emphasis on quality control, food safety and high standards of production in our restaurants, bakeries and food processing factories. During 2007, our operations received internationally recognized standards certification GMP from The Food and Drug administration Ministry of Public Health Thailand, HACCP from The food and Drug Administration Ministry of Public Health Thailand,

The Department of Agriculture Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives & The Department of Fisheries. Social responsibility is an important factor of our close interaction with the general public, by giving something back to help the communities in which we operate. Our focus is primarily on youth development, organizing junior summer camps, cooking competitions, S&P Family Day, and training courses for youths to learn about the restaurant business. Promising youths are provided grants and opportunities of employment when they finish school. In addition, funds and products were donated to charities and student foundations to organize special activities for young people. This has been such a challenging year. We were able to work through it positively thanks to the continued support of our staff, company executives, business partners and shareholders. Which contributed strongly to the Company’s successful results. Please accept my sincere appreciation and gratitude for your valuable cooperation and support.

Annual Report www.snpfood.com

Nature of Business Company Background & Milestones S&P Syndicate Public Company Limited was founded in 1973 as S&P Co.,Ltd. selling ice cream and snacks at its first shop on Sukhumvit Soi 23 in Bangkok. It soon evolved into a restaurant with a flourishing bakery business, creating highly popular made-to-order cakes and cakes with cartoon designs. Business became so successful that more branches were opened in Bangkok. In 1989, S&P became a public company and changed its name to be S&P Syndicate Public Co.,Ltd. Continuing investment led to a rapid expansion in both its restaurant and food production businesses, with the S&P brand enjoying popularity among families, particularly young and older customers. Because of growing popularity, the operations of S&P Restaurants and S&P Bakery Shops were separated so as to target specific markets, while successful new brands were introduced – Patara (Fine Thai Cuisine), Patio, Bluecup, Vanilla, Simply Thai and Golden Dragon mooncakes. The Company’s first overseas Thai restaurant opened in London in 1990 under the brand Patara Fine Thai Cuisine, enjoying rapid success. Riding the huge popularity of Thai cuisine overseas, a further 20 restaurants have been opened in four countries with plans to seek new international markets over the next few years. In addition to continued development of its core bakery products of cakes, cookies, bread and mooncakes, the Company has introduced many new lines in its food production business, such as frozen meals (Quick Meal), sausages, coffee & tea (Bluecup), cookies (Delio), fruit jelly (Jelio Jelly), and dry mix, additives, food colouring (Royallee). As an extension of its restaurant business, S&P is now one of the leaders in outside catering under the Caterman brand, offering home and office delivery of bakery products and complete meals under its 1344 delivery hotline. Today, after 35 years of successful operations, S&P is one of the country’s leaders in restaurant and bakery businesses with a complete cycle from production, packaging, retail to delivery.

Overview of S&P and its subsidiaries S&P Syndicate Public Co.,Ltd. and its subsidiaries operate restaurants, coffee & drink corners, and bakery shops selling ready made products, as well as producing food products in its factories and bakeries under various brands. Its branded operations are as follows:

Risk Factors Risk associated with Political Uncertainty Political uncertainty continued during 2007, making people more cautious and selective in their spending. As the year moved towards elections in December, the political situation improved, creating greater consumer confidence and increased spending. Nevertheless, consumers remained selective, showing a preference for trusted quality brands like S&P.

Risk associated with Foreign Currency Exchange Strengthening of the baht currency in 2007 and the turbulence created by the falling US dollar caused fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rate, which affected the Company’s revenues from its international restaurant operations and frozen food exports. The risk was limited through the Company’s risk management.

Risk associated with Rental Contracts The Company has the policy to rent space for its restaurants, bakeries and coffee corners preferably in high traffic, high profile locations. In the past, the site owners have very good response to the Company’s rental with favorable contract terms and are good partners with the Company. This is mainly due to the Company’s solid reputation which has been well accepted in the business for more than 30 years, its products acceptance by customers, as well as more than 200 branches and shops of the Company throughout the country especially in famous and large shopping center. Thus, the chance of non extensions of the contracts or changes of the terms or rental rates to be higher than the market rate should be minimal.

Risk associated with Rising Costs The costs of doing business, particularly raw materials, power and delivery overheads, rose throughout the year, pushed by rising oil and transportation costs. At the same time, intense competition in the restaurant and food retail businesses hindered normal price adjustments, leading to reduced profit margins. In order to maintain profitability, the Company turned to streamlining operations, making them more efficient and cost effective.

Risk associated with Economic Factors The slow-down in the Thai economy, caused by many international factors including a sluggish world economy, high oil prices, and bank problems in the US and Europe, has led to a decline in the purchasing power of consumers, who became more selective in their spending. The Company has worked hard to offset this and protect its market share by offering a variety of new quality products, specialized efficient catering services, and targeting consumers with discount offers through its popular S&P Joy Card.

Annual Report www.snpfood.com

Economic and Competition The slowdown in the Thai economy during 2007 made Thais more careful in their spending habits. While restaurants benefitted from an increased tendency for people to eat out more, due to the modern lifestyle of working families with no time to cook at home, consumers also demanded more for their money – good quality, healthy food, clean and hygienic surroundings, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Restaurants were also expected to provide additional services, such as home and office delivery, and outside catering for events. Revenue from the restaurant business in Thailand is expected to increase by 5 percent in 2008 to 100,000 million baht (Kasikorn Research Center). However, the potential for increased earnings is tempered by stronger competition as many more newcomers enter the restaurant sector, especially smaller establishments looking for good returns on limited investments. Restaurants that have good organization, friendly service, offering healthy food that is hygienic, tasty and value for money are likely to be more successful. Sales from bakery products, particularly cakes and cookies, continue to grow as they become more acceptable to Thai consumers. However, competition is intense as it is not expensive for people to enter this market segment, with quick returns through aggressive marketing and discounted sales. Revenue from bakery products is likely to increase by 5 percent in 2008, rising to 7,100 million baht (Kasikorn Research Center). The lower end of the market will increase more than the high end as consumers show a preference for modestly priced products. Profit margins may be reduced as the costs of raw materials continue to rise due to consistently high oil prices and growing transportation costs.

Overseas restaurant business For the overseas’ restaurant business, our 2007 revenue were reported at Baht 693 million, increased by Baht 7 million or 1% YoY.

Thus in 2007, we shifted to focus on the renovation of the branches and the rebranding to match with the need of the target customers. For the operating results of this business, our net margin was still at satisfactory level of 6%. In addition, the company is under the study of the feasibility to launch the new restaurants in other countries i.e. Japan and Australia.

Key financial ratios analysis • Gross margin of the Company dropped slightly from 43.1% in 2006 to 42.3% in 2007. The major reason is the sharp rise of the raw materials cost during the year i.e. wheat, milk, cheese, and sugar.

• The Company’s net margin dropped from 6.0% in 2006 to 4.5% in 2007. The decline is due to (1) the closing of the non-profit branches which resulted in the loss of approximately Baht 15 million, (2) the reserve for the accrued property tax expenses of Baht 8 million, (3) the actual revenues which was below the target due to economics slowdown and lack of consumer’s confidence and (4) the decrease in financial performance of our joint venture.

• Return on equities for the year 2007 stood at 9.5%, decreased 12% YoY due mainly from the increase in the Company’s capital of baht 76 million (including paid up capital and share surplus).

• Return on assets for the year 2007 stood at 7.4%, decreased 10.1% YoY due mainly from the grow in assets base (the increase in cash and short term investments of Baht 105 million and the increase in the Company’s inventory level to cope with the expected rise in raw material price in 2008.

Supervision of Use of Internal Information The Company has a policy and methods to supervise its directors and executives regarding their use, for personal benefit, of internal information concerning the Company’s financial position and operation results, which have not yet been disclosed to the general public, including securities transactions, especially during a 1-month period before the financial statements are made public. To this, it is stipulated that the directors and executives understand their duty to report the holdings of securities in the Company by themselves, their spouses and children who have not yet become of age, as well as to report changes in their securities holdings, to the Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Internal Controls The Company has established a system of evaluation and review of its internal controls and internal audit activities to ensure that its operations comply with legal requirements, corporate purpose, articles of association and resolutions of Shareholders’ Meetings, in accordance with the guidelines of good corporate governance. Such internal controls are separated into four areas of responsibility, as follows :

06-S&P-P136-176.indd 175

1.

The Audit Committee: This is responsible for monitoring the Company’s internal controls system through ongoing reviews of the operations of the Internal Audit Department, which provides the Audit Committee with information and recommendations, as well as preparing a quarterly (at least) internal audit report. The Audit Committee in turn must report any significant recommendations and failings to the Board of Directors so that further action may be taken.

2.

Risk Management: It is the duty of management to oversee and control any risk that may arise during the course of the Company’s business and operations. To achieve this, a comprehensive system of checks has been put in place to provide efficient and effective early warning of any variables that may affect business operations.

3.

Management Operation Controls: The duties and authorities of management and operational staff are clearly defined in writing; the duties of operating staff and those of supervisors and evaluators distinctly separated to ensure suitable checks and balances. Strict measures are also in place to control the operations and activities of management or related parties. These controls and duties help preserve the properties of the Company and protect against unethical conduct.

4.

Information Technology Systems: The Company is committed to investing in the latest computer, informational technology and data systems to assist management and the Board of Directors in their decision making. Such investments are essential to assist in the compilation of accounting data and documentation to comply with standard accounting practices, and to ensure disclosures of significant company information are both accurate and transparent, in line with the principles of good corporate governance.
