They say time flies right by you when you're enjoying life. How true that is! Still, the past year's nearly 9,000 hours somehow didn't seem enough for the bustling energy with which we filled every bottle of ThaiBev products. Simply put, our steady growth truly stemmed from our 110% dedication. For us at ThaiBev, the mere sight of sparkling bubbles and a golden smile-shaped reflection no doubt convey our brimming happiness to customers worldwide. With such rippling effects across the globe, this happiness and your collective trust in us concurrently foster our robust business.By any standard, 2007 was a memorable year for all ... so much so that I wish there were Mr. Thapana Sirivadhanabhakdi more than 24 hours in a day!

Society
GENTLE AS RAIN DROPS In that it is our duty to play an active role in national development, to better our society, and to assist those in need, Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (ThaiBev) has a long history of contribution to projects and activities to display our loyalty to the monarchy and improve society, education, sports, public health, safety and dissemination of a good reputation for Thailand. The following accounts describe our major contributions in 2007.

Message from the Chairman
Dear Shareholders, Since our listing on the Singapore Exchange in May 2006, the Company has begun to plan for changes that will make it more professional and competitive inside and outside of Thailand. It was the Board’s intention when we were established as a public company, with all that that entails regarding corporate governance and greater professionalism. While these internal projects have not warranted detailed reports previously, needless to say, we believe that improvements to our human resources structure and greater accountability at all levels of management will assist us in implementing the strategies we have made public since listing. On that note, I would like to spend some time to review these strategies as they will have a material impact on our future.
We also intend to continue what we call a premiumisation process by launching higher margin products to lift our portfolio into the standard and premium ends of both spirits and beer. This will enable us to gain higher margins over time and prepare for consumer aspirations as the economy improves in the long term. To achieve this, we will continue to invest in our brands by investing in integrated marketing communications and premiumisation. Some passing examples would be the introduction of gift boxes for some of our spirits products like Sangsom and Mekhong. We also introduced some new beers to the Thai market, Chang Light and Chang Draught in bottles and these have done well, in fact, surpassing some foreign competitors whose beers were introduced to the Thai market several years prior to the arrival of our brands.
Strategic Direction
The key strength of ThaiBev has always been its phenomenal distribution network, which covers the entire country. We will need to leverage this infrastructure by taking on products from other companies, and we need to develop it to be more modern and efficient. To assist in this, the Company commenced the construction of five major distribution centers in different regions in August 2007. Together with greater implementation of SAP enterprise resource planning software throughout our group of companies, we envisage being better able to forecast the inventory needs of our dealers and to ensure that products are pushed through the network in the most efďŹ cient manner.
A key strategy to date has been to develop the local market and maintain market leadership by managing the marketing mix and the pricing of individual brands. To enable us to offer a spirits portfolio at every price range, the Company has acquired two white spirits brands, White Tiger and White Bear, which give us the opportunity to offer economy spirits to compete with local community spirits and homemade liquor. The value of these acquisitions is in our ability to now compete at every price level.

Foreign Expansion Strategy We have also begun to establish a platform for strategic international expansion. We now export our products to 80 countries globally. I am pleased to inform you that our acquisition of Inver House in October 2006 is now bearing the fruit of integration. Not only have we been able to make Inver House’s Airdrie headquarters the base for all operations in the UK, and thus save on several costs, but our distribution of Chang beer in Australia came about because of Inver House’s contacts. In a later chapter, we will report in more detail on our overseas strategies. However, suffice to say that there are plans to increasingly export our products as premium offerings and acquire businesses that add more value. Our investments aim to have an internal rate of return (IRR) in the suitable amount. As a public company, we have not rushed into foreign acquisitions over the past year. We are focusing on the Asian region as there are many cultural and consumer similarities among Asian countries that would make the region more attractive for us at the beginning. We are already making inroads into certain markets such as Singapore and Malaysia for instance, but our eye must be on markets such as China and India as these are phenomenal regional growth markets. In Europe, the USA and Australia, ThaiBev has commenced selling Chang beer in its export version as a premium beer, while Mekhong rum is being positioned at the high end of the consumer market. This is a signal of the confidence we have in the quality of our products. We intend to enter continental European markets as and when we can set up distribution, which is a critical success factor. While entry through Thai and Asian restaurants and outlets is an appropriate first step, we will certainly be seeking to penetrate the mainstream drinks markets over time.
we hope, have been ameliorated by the general election of December 2007. Nevertheless, this uncertainty led to an economic slowdown and this had some effect on this company as it did on others in the industry. GDP growth for 2008 is now forecasted as a moderate 4.5 - 5.5% by the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Board, however, the Consumer Confidence Index has risen to 119 at the end of 2007 (source: Bureau of Trade and Economic Indices, Ministry of Commerce), which should be cause for optimism. As the domestic market still counts for 96.4% of total sales, I should like to bring to your attention sales growth of 2.8% in 2007, compared with 2006, and a commensurate increase of 3.3% in net profit year-on-year. This increase reflects the strength of the company under less-than-ideal economic conditions. Massive flooding over much of the country from the end of 2006 into the first half of 2007 meant that many of our agents were unable to handle large orders during our peak period. In spite of these difficulties, we managed to grow our revenue. Two tax rises were implemented in Thailand, one in August 2007 and one in January 2008. The former had been discussed for some time and the Company was to some extent prepared for it. The second rise, of one and a half percent, was to cover the establishment of a public broadcasting system. Shareholders will want to know if there is any way to forecast future tax increases, however, this depends on government policy and tax collection targets that may change from time to time, making forecasting unfeasible.
Diversification into Non-alcoholic Beverages Domestic Factors Most shareholders will be aware of the political events in Thailand in our recent history that left the country in a state of uncertainty for over a year. These problems,
One other strategy not listed above is the diversification of the Company into non-alcoholic beverages. This is a deliberate move to ensure that we explore other products that fit in with our portfolio. Post year-end,
the acquisition of Wrangyer in January 2008 was our entry into the energy drinks market. This diversification will allow us to enter into a new market that is growing 3-4% a year and where our distribution network will contribute considerably to further sales growth. The construction of the five distribution centers mentioned above will help us to manage the increase in the portfolio too. The Company will be looking very closely at fruit juices and other non-alcoholic beverages; we will keep you informed about planned acquisitions when they become material.
Corporate Development As we enter into 2008, our vision of the evolution of the Company is an important issue for shareholders. We want to continue improvements to the management structure and build a team that is able to react faster to events and think further ahead. We will rely more and more on professional management to drive our growth. We will then also be better able to satisfy our distributors by offering more professional services. I have a vision of ThaiBev as a leading player in the ASEAN region and want to assure shareholders not only that our above-mentioned strategies are well thought-out, but that we have the ability to implement them successfully. The natural outcome will be higher revenue growth and profitability. As for our relationship with you, our shareholders and other investors, we must now strive towards a goal of becoming a role model of transparency and good corporate governance so that you remain fully aware of our plans and achievements moving forwards. I believe ThaiBev will be an even better company five years from now and I shall continue to work with the Board of Directors to help guide the Company to ensure that we not only achieve our goals but satisfy all stakeholders in the process.

Overview
Mission
Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (“ThaiBev”) was incorporated in Thailand in October 2003 in order to consolidate Thailand’s leading beer and spirits businesses owned by the principal shareholders and their business associates under a single holding company. ThaiBev was subsequently listed on the Singapore Exchange (“SGX”) on May 30, 2006. The listing was the largest in Singapore in ten years, raising US$1.574 billion (or Baht 38.08 billion) and received great interest.
We will seek “partnerships” among our key stakeholders through six guiding values
The major substantial shareholder in ThaiBev is Mr. Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, family and associates, who own approximately 64.94% of the company’s paid-up share capital (as of December 31 2007), the rest being held by private groups, investment institutions and retail investors. Not only is ThaiBev Thailand’s largest alcohol beverages producer, it is also one of Southeast Asia’s largest, though today 96.4% of its revenues are generated in Thailand. Since listing, ThaiBev has implemented a strategy to allow it to expand overseas. To this end, its wholly-owned subsidiary, International Beverage Holdings Limited (“IBHL”) is charged with this task. To date, IBHL has set up sales offices in 6 countries and commenced active promotion of sales to countries like the USA, UK, Australia, and others of two of ThaiBev’s products, Chang Beer and Mekhong rum. Expansion will also include whiskies made in Scotland by IBHL’s subsidiary Inver House.
Corporate Vision “We will strive to become a leading global beverage company with focus on commercial excellence, continued premiumisation of our products, and professionalism.”

Offer quality products for every customer segment Satisfy distributors’ needs by offering professional services Provide first quartile returns to our shareholders with consistent high revenue growth and profitability Become a role model in terms of professionalism, transparency, and good corporate governance Trust, empower, and reward our staff to make them accountable Contribute to public and local communities
Corporate Development Strategy Our corporate development strategy will emphasize premiumisation, internationalization and professionalisation. We will discuss premiumisation and internationalization in following sections, but the professional development of our management and other human resources will play an increasing role in the success of the Company over time. Part of the impetus has been the conversion of the Company from private to public, and there are ongoing measures to allow management to embrace accountability and create an organization that is more efficient and focused on operational excellence. Professionalism is linked to good corporate governance, which will ensure the Company is well-run on behalf of shareholders. Investors should note that we have commenced the introduction of international-standard metrics that will assist management monitor their performance and thus help to improve it over time.

Business in Thailand While 2007 has seen a continuation of the vigorous competition seen in 2006, the alcohol beverage industry has continued to grow. ThaiBev has continued to see a rise in demand for low alcohol beers and brown spirits. White spirits sales were affected by economic difficulties, but remain the key underpinning of ThaiBev’s profitability for the present.
Domestic Business Strategy ThaiBev’s strategy for the domestic market focuses on the protection of the core businesses of beer and spirits. We intend to continue growing the portfolio and become a leader in all alcoholic segments. We strongly believe that the Thai market has room to grow further as there is still a lack of choice regarding the number of brands available and the narrow segmentation of brands. Thai people aspire to move to higher-end drinks, whether alcoholic or non-alcoholic and as the economy improves, as it must do over time, ThaiBev will have products ready to meet consumer demand. Today, the Company dominates the economy segment of its businesses. In future, we will introduce standard and premium products that will extend the portfolio upwards. This will provide us with higher margins and greater profitability over time. We have noted that the spirits market will move toward brown spirits over the long term and a more balanced portfolio will allow us to diversify the inherent risk of relying on one type of product or another over time. We also intend to continue to premiumize our current portfolio. For instance, we have already introduced gift boxes for several spirits products such as Sangsom rum in 2007. We re-launched Hong Thong in 2006 with new packaging that led to a good response from consumers. These steps will raise the market perception of our products and lead to more sustained growth in the future.
Investment in machinery picked up as seen in rising capital goods’ imports in the latter half of the year. However, construction continued to contract. Private consumption rose 1.3% year-on-year but this was lower than expected. Business sentiment has been reasonably stable, with the Business Sentiment Index (BSI) now standing at 44.5 in December 2007. However, the outlook is positive due to public satisfaction with the election result. Domestic demand in 2007 has improved gradually. Export growth slowed but the trade surplus remained high due to lower imports. The Thai economy in 2007 grew by 4.5% with domestic demand contributing to overall growth. Negative factors that may slow down the pick-up in future domestic demand are higher oil prices and consumer goods driven by higher transportation costs.

In order to diversify the portfolio further, the Company will expand further into the non-alcoholic drinks market to offer a complete range of beverages. The Company has already acquired all the energy drinks and ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee assets of Wrangyer Beverage Company Limited, in January 2008 and we have informed the market that we are negotiating for another acquisition in the energy drinks business. The energy drinks market is growing by approximately 3% per annum and the net profit margins are around 10%, making it an attractive entry point into non-alcoholic beverages for us. ThaiBev has one of the largest distribution networks in Thailand and it will have to make more strategic use of this network over time by offering it to outside organizations. First the Company needs to make it more efficient in, and more capable of, handling a wider range of products. To achieve this, the Company introduced a logistics project in August 2007. One of the objectives of which is to introduce five huge distribution centers around Thailand that would be able to store more products and distribute them to surrounding regions more efficiently.
Legislation The Alcohol Control Act was passed by parliament in December 2007. A National Committee for Alcoholic Beverage Policy was set up to provide the framework of how the Act is to be implemented. The final draft of the Act was approved by parliament on February 13, 2008, and promulgated in the Royal Gazette on February 14, 2008. Many of the regulations mentioned here were expected by the Company for some time and we are already prepared to comply with the law.
The Thai Economy
Sites where alcohol may be sold and consumed are now regulated. Alcohol may not be sold or consumed in temples and other religious places, health-related sites, hospitals and pharmacies. Neither may alcohol be sold at government sites, hostels and educational institutions. However, shops, private rest areas and clubs situated on government sites are exempt. Sites that have traditionally been used for eating and drinking are also exempt.
The Thai economy has declined slowly over the course of 2007, but with some positive sentiment towards the 1 end of the year as the election on December 23 approached. Private investment fell 0.8% year-on-year in 2007.
Alcohol may not be sold in petrol or fuel service stations or shops in their vicinity, nor is alcohol allowed in public parks run by the state.

Source: Bank of Thailand estimate
We should note that petrol stations in Thailand have not been selling alcohol in the shops on their premises for some time due to an earlier Ministerial Regulation.

Although the Minister of Health may on occasion proclaim days and times when alcohol may not be sold, this would be in addition to existing restrictions on times when alcohol may not be sold. Normally alcohol is not sold the evening before an election, for instance. It is now forbidden to sell alcoholic drinks to anyone under 20 years old. It is also forbidden to sell alcohol using automatic vending machines, by hawking or to offer discounts to promote sales. No gifts, rewards or prizes may be provided to those purchasing alcoholic drinks or by using the redemption of things like bottle tops, for example. Companies may not offer alcoholic drinks for people to try or to impose any conditions that oblige the purchase of alcohol. Regarding advertising, it is now forbidden to advertise alcoholic beverages directly or show the drinking of alcohol. The industry cannot show the name or brand of alcoholic drinks to accentuate the merits of alcoholic drinks or entice people to drink. This has been a regulation for some time and the Company already complies with it. Advertising and public relations of alcoholic beverages are allowed per se but there are exemptions relating to advertising subject to Ministerial Regulations (that have not yet been issued). These would be limited to information and news about social contributions without the appearance of any product photos or the packaging of alcoholic drinks, except for the symbol or logo of the drink or company only. In principle, this implies that advertising may now be allowed, but the focus must be on meritorious activities, such as how ThaiBev provides support to society. Examples here would be our continued support for arts and crafts, health, sports, religious activities, youth projects and other support for the poor and underprivileged that ThaiBev has pursued over the years. Therefore, as long as the advert does not show bottles or drinking scenes, it should be allowed. We note this will enable ThaiBev to continue to build its corporate image in Thailand.

The Cabinet approved raising the excise tax ceiling from an ad valorem rate of 60% and a specific rate of Baht 400 per liter of pure alcohol, to an ad valorem rate of 99% and a specific rate of Baht 1,000 per liter of pure alcohol as proposed by the Minister of Finance. The objective of this ceiling rate increase is to provide flexibility to the Excise Department in managing future excise tax rates. The matter must be passed by Act of Parliament. Due to the change of government following the election on December 23, 2007, the Act must be re-submitted to the new parliament for its approval. On August 28, 2007, the government approved and announced new excise tax increases. The increases were on white and compound spirits and brandy. The tax increases affected ThaiBev’s white spirits and its three compound spirit brands; Mungkorn Thong, Hong Thong, Blend 285 and Chinese herbal spirits. The white spirits specific rate increased from Baht 70 per liter of 100 per cent alcohol to Baht 110 per liter of 100 per cent alcohol, while the ad valorem rate changed from 25% to 50%. The specific rate for compound and Chinese spirits increased from Baht 240 per liter of 100 per cent alcohol to Baht 280 per liter while the ad valorem rate remains 50 per cent of the ex-factory price. For brandy, the ad valorem rate increased from 40 per cent to 45 per cent of the ex-factory price, while the specific rate remained unchanged at Baht 400 per liter of 100 per cent alcohol. On 14 January 2008, the Government applied an additional amount of 1.5% onto the excise tax of all alcoholic beverages in order to pay for the new public broadcasting system.

The law does not cover advertisements that originate outside Thailand. Investors should note that ThaiBev is a shirt sponsor of Everton Football Club in the UK and that this sponsorship will not be affected by these new regulations in Thailand. After consideration of these regulations under the Alcohol Control Act, ThaiBev believes that while there will be some effect on promotional activities, the Company’s extensive distribution network mitigates the loss of some other marketing tools. Moreover, while the restrictions on public places where alcohol may be sold and consumed are reasonable, we should note that the vast majority of ThaiBev’s products today are drunk in the home. In sum, the Alcohol Control Act is a restriction on the ability of companies to promote and position their products in the minds of consumers, but is not in itself an obstruction to sales. Nothing in the Act forbids consumers from purchasing and drinking alcohol. Certainly, there is a risk to new entrants that they may not be able to establish themselves with consumers who will be unaware of their presence if they can only advertise logos and social contributions as they will not have the distribution network in place to offer a pervasive brand presence. ThaiBev has an extensive distribution network in Thailand for alcoholic beverages which is advantageous to the sales of new products.
Taxation Besides corporate income tax, which is set at a rate of 30% in Thailand, the Company pays excise tax on its alcoholic beverages. This is imposed before our products leave the factory and explains why the Company has a relatively high use of short term cash. There are two methods that can be used by the Government to levy the tax; either according to the amount of alcohol per liter, called a specific rate, or based on a determined ex-factory price, called the ad valorem rate. The Excise Department may use either the specific or ad valorem rates depending on which one is the higher.

Beer Business
Archa Beer was the only Thai beer to have received a Gold Medal. Back in 1998, Chang was the first Thai beer to win this award, making Thai Beverage Public Company Limited the only Thai brewer to have won AIBA Gold Medals.
67
Since the introduction of Chang Beer to the masses in 1995, people in rural areas had limited choice and there was a potential to provide more products to them. In 2006 it became clear that an alternative would either have to be introduced by ThaiBev or a competitor. The re-launch of Archa Beer into the northeast and other rural areas proved the case that there is a section of society that wants a lighter alternative to Chang Beer. Along with Chang Light and Chang Draught, lighter beers are finding favor in both rural and urban areas, with the total sales volume at the end of 2007 Climbing to 956.8 million liters. Total sales of Archa Beer alone accounts for 31% of ThaiBev’s beer portfolio. Archa Beer won over more than 20 judges to claim the coveted Gold Medal in European Lager Division at the 2007 Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA). Archa Beer was cited for being “an outstanding beer that displays the correct balance of taste, aroma and appearance appropriate for the style and excellent technical merit”.
Archa Beer was the only Thai beer to have received a Gold Medal. Back in 1998, Chang Beer was the first Thai beer to win this award, making ThaiBev the only Thai brewer to have won AIBA Gold Medals. There has been phenomenal growth among the lighter beers in the portfolio on the back of a rising trend globally. ThaiBev intends to continue this success by introducing new beers at the right time at high market positions and higher margins as part of its premiumisation policy. In 2004, the Company decided to expand the capacity of its northern brewery at Kamphaengphet province. This was done as the beer market had risen to the extent that the former total capacity of the Company’s three breweries was already running at full capacity. With plans to expand production to include exports, the expansion was timed well to meet the current upsurge in demand for beer. The Baht 7.2 billion project was completed in 2007, bringing the capacity of Kamphaengphet province up to 900 million liters. Together with the two other breweries at Wang Noi and Bang
Ban in Ayutthaya province, the Company now has a total production capacity of 1,550 million liters per annum, making us one of the largest brewers in Southeast Asia. Utilization normally runs at approximately 68% of total capacity per annum. However, this sometimes increases to almost 95% utilization prior to and during peak periods as our brewing team has a policy of providing only fresh beer to consumers and therefore does not normally brew well in advance of a peak period and store the beer. At this level of utilization, and the growth of the beer industry in 2007 of 6%, ThaiBev expects full utilization in approximately six years.

Spirits Business While approximately 52% of ThaiBev’s sales come from spirits, this product accounts for about 85% of net profit. ThaiBev’s spirits portfolio is split into two types, brown and white spirits. All the Company’s white spirits are made from molasses (a product of sugar cane) as are the majority of its brown spirits made in Thailand. Only Crown 99 and Blue are whiskies. Whereas white spirits are an economy drink, commonly consumed in rural areas and among the segment of society that performs physical labor, brown spirits are what most consumers aspire to drink.
69
The past year has seen the Thai economy slow measurably, with the effect being felt mostly in rural areas and among laborers. As consumer confidence has declined, the Company has seen a noticeable effect on its white spirits’ sales, which acts as a barometer of the rural economy. Sales volume of white spirits began to decline as consumers switched to half bottles or single shots. In some cases the community spirits sector in Thailand was the beneficiary. However, we know that white spirits are consumed mostly by the older generation and we do not expect the younger generation to continue this tradition forever. By nature, younger people prefer to consume brown spirits and beer, and this is the area that the Company will be concentrating more on in the future.
In October 2006, we launched Blend 285 and positioned it to provide the consumer with a superior quality product at an affordable price. The product features premium clues such as an individual gift box, non-refillable cap (“NRF”), and westernized packaging design. The product has proven popular throughout 2007 and sold 14.8 million liters, a success that clearly demonstrates the strength of our distribution platform which enables new products to gain deep market penetration over a short period of time.
ThaiBev has approximately 74% of the spirits market. In May 2007, the prices of some brown spirits were raised. The selling price in Baht for one case (i.e. a dozen bottles) increased as illustrated here:

Industrial Alcohol Business UPC is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of spirits, including contract distilling. UPC has various brands in its portfolio, for example “White Bear” white sprits, “Mungkorn Taejean” white sprits, “Noble Lords” whisky, “Tumbler” whisky, etc. Its distillery is located in Nakhon Pathom province, not far from Bangkok. The total design capacity of UPC’s distillery at 50 degree alcohol content is approximately 30,000 liters per day. In 2007, UPC has been operating its distillery at approximately 35% utilization of its design capacity. This utilization comprises 90.18% white spirits and 9.82 special spirits, known as Bacardi Breezer, under the Bacardi brand. We have agreed to renew Bacardi’s current contract for another year and are now working on a longer-term contract. SPM is a company primarily engaged in the manufacture and distribution of mineral drinks, sports drinks, fruit juices and seasoning sauce. It produces OEM products under contract, for example “Gatorade” sports drink, “Fruitnette Jelly Drink,” “SPM” juice, “Furen” seasoning sauce, etc. The Company is considering the extension of the Gatorade contract to the middle of 2008. SPM’s factory is located at Nakhon Pathom province. The rationale for these acquisitions was to enable ThaiBev to obtain new customers and new brands of liquor products, in particular white liquor; to diversify our current alcohol beverage business, and to enter into new non-alcohol beverage businesses. ThaiBev is interested to become a comprehensive producer of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic as part of its strategy to diversify its portfolio and seek higher returns.
We acquired our industrial alcohol plant in 2002 to create further integration in our alcohol business. We are now increasing our exports of industrial alcohol products to key markets such as Japan and India. Since September 2004, we have produced ethanol to make gasohol fuel as a substitute for 95 octane gasoline. We have increased our capacity of ethanol production to meet the expected demand for gasohol and capitalize on the Government’s policy on clean energy. In 2007, our sales volume of ethanol was 42.6 million liters compared to 46.6 million liters in 2006. However, our overall sales volume of industrial alcohol in 2007 is slightly more than that of 2006 due to a temporary production halt as a result of unfavorable product margins in the first quarter of 2006. The industrial alcohol business throughout 2007 was still under pressure. The postponement of an import ban on 95 octane gasoline by the transitional government directly affected demand in the industrial alcohol business in Thailand. Most of the domestic industrial alcohol producers were stuck with high inventories forcing them to lower their prices to deplete stocks. Oil companies are enjoying good profit from gasohol due to low alcohol prices but this was not enough to motivate them to promote gasohol. Exporting industrial alcohol is the only available source of business open to ThaiBev. However, global industrial alcohol prices have been very competitive due to abundant supplies from Brazil. Despite all the difficulties, ThaiBev managed to sell a total of 59.5 million liters of alcohol,which was 23 percent higher than total sales of the same period last year. ThaiBev will continue to focus on the exporting business for the remainder of this year. Domestic sales in 2007 were 36.7 million liters, which was 9.4% lower than the sales in 2006. The average price per liter of Baht 24.97 in 2006 decreased to Baht 16.14 per liter in 2007. Thai Alcohol Public Company Limited exported 22.8 million liters in 2007, mainly to Japan. There were no export sales in 2006. The Company showed a gross loss of Baht 6 million compared to a gross profit of Baht 211 million last year.
Related Businesses The Glass Bottle Purchase Agreement between Bangna Logistics Co., Ltd. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of ThaiBev) and Berli Jucker Public Company Limited. expired on April 30, 2007 and the parties entered into a new Glass Bottle Purchase Agreement dated May 24, 2007 for a period of two years and eight months (effective from May 1, 2007 to December 31, 2009).

Overseas Business
International Beverage Holdings Limited (“IBHL” see: www. interbevgroup.com) has been established to be the international arm of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (ThaiBev). These global operations are managed out of our four regional headquarters located in Hong Kong, Singapore, North America and the United Kingdom together with our major Scotch whisky operations in five distilleries in Scotland.
IBHL is responsible for ThaiBev’s international business and is engaged in activities such as the production, marketing and distribution of our portfolio of alcoholic beverages including ThaiBev’s domestically-produced products and Scotch whisky.
We currently export our brands to over 80 countries outside Thailand managing this directly with our in-house sales and marketing teams as well as through suitable local distributors where necessary.
International Strategy
The changing face of the world’s drinks industry will create opportunities for the development of our company in the years ahead. Consumers are demonstrating an increasing desire to trade up to more premium products as well as to experiment with new and interesting brands and these are just two of the trends that we believe will help IBHL achieve its strong brand growth targets. IBHL is incorporated in Hong Kong and currently has subsidiaries in six countries, as follows:
• InterBev (Singapore) Limited • InterBev Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. • InterBev (Cambodia) Co., Ltd. • International Beverage Holdings Limited USA, Inc. • International Beverage Holdings (UK) Ltd. and subsidiaries including Inver House Distillers Limited • Best Spirits Company Limited
Business Strategy
The Company’s strategy with regard to international expansion remains consistent. The Company strongly believes that it must adopt an appropriate route to market, wholly owned or third party depending on our ambitions in that market and market circumstances. We actively seek out distribution partners. Should our beverages begin to gain traction in a country, we would then consider, at least in the case of beer, either contract brewing or purchasing a brewery locally. Where we want to strengthen our presence, we are actively considering investing in existing businesses or start-up companies. Due to the need to identify projects that offer good value, any investment made would have to offer an internal rate of return in the suitable amount. In any investment, IBHL will consider value and potential synergy over price. Initially, IBHL is focusing on flagship brands – Chang beer, Mekhong rum (branded overseas with the legend: “the Spirit of Thailand”), its single malt whiskies, Balblair, Old Pulteney, Speyburn and AnCnoc and blended scotch whiskies such as Hankey Bannister. IBHL has identified key focus markets for each brand and is directing its efforts and resources at these ‘brand market units’. IBHL intends to be a global player with a comprehensive portfolio of products.

We also believe that local partners and management are ways of moving into new markets without a steep learning curve. Key international executives are internationally sourced, and chosen for their long experience in the business. We are also assembling a strong talent pool in the areas of Sales and Marketing from candidates with wide-ranging experience across both beer and spirits. We are doing this by recruitment and through the integration of the Inver House commercial team. We are at the same time building a strong platform of marketing expertise. By employing high-quality, experienced management, IBHL intends to expand faster than it would otherwise be able to do. In some markets, strong local partners will be sought to assist us to work with local distribution networks and overcome indigent cultural and business practice hurdles.
We aim to build a strong and unique brand presence in all our core target markets throughout the world and 2007 has already seen the repackaging and successful launch of the iconic Chang Beer and Mekhong brands on the international stage. Chang Beer has been repackaged and recently launched in the major Western markets including USA, UK, Europe and Australia with a focus on the premium imported beer market. Mekhong has also been revamped to appeal to the more discerning spirits drinkers. It will be sold through high-end restaurants and cocktail bars in Europe and North America with the help of its Thai-inspired collection of cocktail recipes.

Major re-launch of flagship malt whisky brand Balblair (www.balblair.com), was successfully repackaged and relaunched during 2007 in our biggest-ever launch program to date for an Inver House single malt whisky. The striking new identity inspired by a 4,000 year old Pictish standing stone overlooking the distillery, has been carefully crafted and will mean the vintages offer a superior choice for informed whisky drinkers across Europe, North America and the fast growing Asian region. The company’s strategy is to position Balblair as a super-premium single malt scotch whisky. Balblair was successfully launched in UK, France, Mexico, Holland, Greece and Japan among other countries. As part of this process, the company developed a new direct marketing program to associate the brand with other luxury goods through a partnership marketing program. Current partners include Mackintosh (www.mackintoshrainwear.com), the original manufacturer of rainwear, who have repositioned themselves in the luxury arena and are one of the “hot brands” in Japan at present. Another partner is John Lowrie Morrison (www.jolomo.com). He is one of the UK’s most prestigious artists and he has exhibited widely in the UK as well as Hong Kong and the USA. The company’s premium single malt whiskies are Old Pulteney (www.oldpulteney.com) and anCnoc (www.ancnoc.com) and its entry-level single malt is Speyburn (www.speyburn.com). Inver House is now poised to enter markets with a clear positioning for all its key brands. Blended scotch whiskies will aid the company in establishing its reputation in global markets. A new blended Scotch whisky is expected to be introduced into Thailand in 2008.
Inver House Distillers Limited, which was purchased by IBHL in October 2006, has benefited from a buoyant Scotch market as well as a strategic shift towards focusing more on core malt brands. As a result, pre tax profit have risen to £4.0 million, up 121% for the same period in 2006.

USA Launch IBHL USA now operational International Beverage Holdings Ltd. USA, Inc. (IBHL USA) was established as the regional headquarters for launching the business in North America. The office, based in New York City, is charged with developing the company’s diverse international portfolio of branded Asian spirits and beer throughout North America. IBHL USA is a wholly owned-subsidiary of IBHL, which is 100% owned by ThaiBev.
Strategy The introduction to Americans commenced on July 4, 2007, with initial focus on the 5,000 Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodian and Asian-Fusion restaurants in the USA. Unlike in Thailand, Chang is being presented as a super-premium beer in the US market. By offering choice to consumers we believe the category will expand, as demonstrated by Mexican, Japanese and Italian beers. The strategy is to build a platform for growth in East and West Coast markets and to expand further into the interior once these core coastal markets have reached critical mass. While the company is focusing on Thai and other Asian restaurants as its entry point into this market, the following phases include a presence in off-premise trade and, when Chang becomes more established, entry into the mass consumer on-premise market. As part of IBHL’s global strategy, the US market will not be limited to Chang beer alone. Inver House, for instance, counts the USA as a major market for single malt whiskies already. In early 2008, ThaiBev is planning to launch Mekhong rum into the US as part of its strategy of approaching overseas markets as a complete beer and spirits producer. Mekhong will be positioned as a unique Thai spirit using the series of cocktails that have been created to drive interest in this product. Chang is available in six-packs of 330 ml (11.2 oz.) and 640 ml (22 oz.). To the end of 2007, approximately 240,000 liters of beer have been shipped to the USA during the initial six month launch period. Over 30,000 cases have been sold.
Key successes in 2007 IBHL’s key successes in 2007 include the successful integration of Inver House and the improvement of its business performance. IBHL was able to integrate Hong Kong-based Best Spirits Company Limited and improve its business performance. The company’s brand marketing and presentation of key brands has developed considerably and revenue is growing faster than volume due to premiumisation and better management. Finally, we have commenced operating in the USA, UK and Australia, not just an achievement in itself but a sign that the company has the potential to enter any market it finds attractive.
Initially, the company is targeting the key states of California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Georgia, the D.C. area, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Illinois. In the early stages, the key markets are New York City metropolitan area and California. These two major markets are expected to account for almost 30% of total Chang imports. In fact, 66% of Asian Americans live in the states of New York, California, Hawaii, Texas and Illinois; over half of Asian Americans live in Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Honolulu, the District of Columbia and Baltimore, and Chicago. The United States’ highest consumption of alcoholic beverages occurs in New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, Illinois, Texas and California. To date, the company has established Chang in 16 states and 26 metropolitan areas, mainly focused on the East and West coasts. Consumers in the USA have been moving towards super premium imported and craft beers (unique beers made by local small or micro breweries) for several years. The drivers have been the improved economic environment, consumers seeking new, different flavors and a narrowing of the price gap between imported and craft beers, which have held the line on pricing, and major domestic beers. A 330ml bottle of Chang currently sells for around US$4-5 in on premise outlets, while the price is around US$ 7.99 per six-pack of 330ml bottles for off premise outlets. In May 2007, the Company increased the total paid-in capital of IBHL USA, from US$1,000 to US$2.6 million. The capital increase was surplus cash injected by International Beverage Holdings Limited from its working capital. The proceeds provided working capital to support the operations of IBHL USA for 2007.

UK Launch
Australia
In May 2007, International Beverage Holdings (UK) Limited (IBHL UK), launched Chang beer into the UK after testing of the products in the market proved favorable. At present, a 330ml bottle sells in a restaurant for an average of £3.00, and is clearly positioned as a premium imported beer. In Everton FC’s stadium a 330ml can sells for £1.90 (only sold where draught is not a vailable) and a pint (568ml) of Chang draught sells for £3.00. This in the only UK venue where Chang is available on draught.
ThaiBev added Australia to its network of product sales in 2007. The Company has established a relationship with Woolworths, Australia’s largest retailer, to distribute and sell Chang Beer. This deal provides a major launch platform that will mean Chang Beer will be available nationally for Australians to enjoy. Woolworths has almost 3,000 stores nationwide and over 175,000 employees.
Europe When Chang Draught was introduced at Everton FC’s Goodison Park stadium at the end of 2006, it broke the record for the most pints sold at Goodison in the first game. It was sold and has quickly established itself as a firm fans’ favorite. Sales volume at the stadium has risen from 33,185 liters at the end of 2006 to 50,400 liters in 2007, showing a growth rate of 52%.
Chang sales in Europe, especially in the Netherlands, have seen steady growth since 2006 and after a very strong year in 2007, will see further expansion as new initiatives are implemented and joined with Mekhong rum launch activity.
Throughout the UK, Chang beer has seen some remarkable growth, with sales for the country rising 138% from the previous year.
New Markets
Strategy IBHL has launched Chang through Thai restaurants in the UK, but will then extend over time into mainstream outlets such as pubs and bars. In the case of the UK, the company has the advantage of distribution contacts through the Inver House subsidiary and is expanding throughout the country. Mekhong, The Spirit of Thailand, was launched in January 2008 and is being introduced to high-end cocktail bars and is being positioned as a premium product. The Inver House’s whiskies are receiving consistent and innovative marketing initiatives to establish them as key brands in the UK. The same strategy will be employed in other appropriate markets.
ThaiBev will continue to concentrate on its domestic market, but is now seeking opportunities abroad. While there have been entries into 19 markets to date, the Company feels that Asia in general and ASEAN in particular are interesting potential markets. One of the advantages of exports within the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) is the low duties imposed on trade within the region today. The other is the similarity of business cultures. Local spirits made from molasses or sugar cane are evident within the region as is the rising trend for beer. Vietnam and the Philippines are potential markets that need to be explored. Further afield, China and India are now fast-awakening economic giants that the Company cannot ignore. Investments overseas will be thoroughly scrutinized to ensure they are good value for money.

Management Discussion and Analysis The Company has completed the acquisition of a distillery named United Products Company Limited (UPC) and a non-alcohol beverage manufacturer named SPM Foods and Beverages Company Limited (SPM) by purchasing about 81% and 83% of the shares in the companies respectively. The operations of UPC and SPM have been included in the Company’s financial statements since November 2007 onwards. The Thai Excise Tax Department, Ministry of Finance, declared an increase of the excise tax rate with immediate effect on white spirits, compounded spirits and brandy (which falls under the “special spirits” tax classification) on August 28, 2007. The new excise tax as related to the Company’s products increased about 16.7% for compounded spirits and about 57.1% to 70.8% for white spirits compared with the previous excise tax. However, the Company had a substantial volume of spirits finished goods on which excise tax had already been paid at the previous rate. The Company has already increased the selling price of spirits to cover the excise tax rise. The Company is planning to improve the efficiency of its distribution network and establish more effective cost control by implementing a Logistics Project. This consists of the establishment of five Regional Distribution Centers, the charter of a new side-loading fleet and the implementation of a Supply Chain Management System. Total cost of the Logistics Project will be approximately Baht 2,541 million from the fourth quarter of 2007 to 2009.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was Baht 21,251 million, an increase of Baht 652 million, or 3.2%, mainly due to the increase in gross profit from the spirits business. Net profit was Baht 10,383 million, an increase of Baht 328 million, or 3.3%, mainly from the spirits business.

The Company adopted current accounting policy which require an appraisal to be conducted by independent professional valuer every three to five years to determine fair value of land owned by the Company and its subsidiaries and recorded the impacts in the period ended December 31, 2007 whereas the previous appraisals were conducted in 2003. The appraisals resulted net decrease of Baht 2,121.6 million which were recorded to equity Baht 2,062.7 million and to statements of income Baht 58.9 million. From the third quarter of 2007 onwards, the reporting of business segments has been rearranged to present transactions with external customers more meaningfully. Related business segments that normally conduct most of their business within the group will no longer be presented separately as in previous periods but will be allocated to the Company core business segments which consist of Beer/Water, Spirits and Industrial Alcohol. The segmental information for the same period of 2006 has been restated for comparison with 2007.

The Beer, Soda & Drinking Water Business Sales revenue of this segment was Baht 47,557 million in 2007, rising by Baht 1,454 million, or 3.2%, mainly due to an increase in beer sales volume. Total sales volume of beer was 956.8 million litres, an increase of 3.7% over the year 2006. Low alcohol beer sales volume was 312.6 million litres, an increase over the year 2006 of 210.7 million litres or 206.9%. The sales volume of soda was 10.6 million litres, a decline of 15.6%, and the sales volume of drinking water was 43.8 million litres, an increase of 2.9%. Gross profit of Baht 10,517 million reflected an increase of Baht 358 million, or 3.5%, over the year 2006, mainly due to the increase of the beer sales volume.
Gross profit of Baht 19,016 million reflected an increase of Baht 910 million, or 5%, mainly due to higher margins from new sales price increases and lower raw material cost of molasses. EBITDA of Baht 14,616 million increased by Baht 844 million, or 6.1%, mainly due to the above-mentioned higher gross profit, which helped cover higher employee expenses and the increase in marketing expenses from free goods used for sales promotion. Free spirits volume used for sales promotion as a percentage of sales volume increased from 1.3% on average over the year 2006, to 1.7% in 2007. Net profit of Baht 8,815 million increased by Baht 870 million, or 11%, mainly due to higher EBITDA and lower interest expense, which covered higher depreciation cost.
Industrial Alcohol Business Segment In 2007, sales of Baht 966 million reflected a decrease of Baht 239 million, or 19.8%, over the previous year mainly due to the decrease in the selling price resulting from oversupply in the Thai market. The sales volume of ethanol was 42.6 million litre, a decrease of 8.5% over 2006, and the average selling price decreased from Baht 24.94 per litre in 2006 to Baht 16.63 per litre in 2007. Alcohol 95 sales volume was 16.8 million litres, which mostly came from exports, an increase of 1,032.7%, while the average sales price decreased from Baht 24.60 per litre in 2006 to Baht 14.81 per litre in 2007. The gross loss of Baht 6 million in 2007 showed a decrease of Baht 217 million, or 102.8% over gross profit of Baht 211 million in 2006, mainly due to lower sales volume of ethanol and a lower margin caused by oversupply in the domestic market although lower raw material cost of molasses. EBITDA of Baht 65 million decreased by Baht 100 million, or 60.6%, from the previous year, mainly due to the above-mentioned gross loss; however, other income increased.
EBITDA of Baht 6,536 million decreased by Baht 151 million, or 2.3%, over the previous year mainly due to higher employee expenses, marketing expenses and transportation costs that offset the higher gross profit. Free beer volume for sales promotion as a percentage of total sales volume was 8.2% by average over the year 2007, close to the 8.1% achieved in 2006.
The net loss was Baht 168 million, an increase of Baht 136 million or 425% over 2006, mainly due to the decrease in sales margin and higher depreciation but lower interest expense.
Net Profit of Baht 1,702 million decreased by Baht 461 million or 21.3% mainly due to lower EBITDA and higher depreciation associated with the commencement of depreciation on the capital expenditure of the Kamphaengphet brewery expansion project but lower interest expense.
Financial Position Assets
The Spirits Business Sales in the year 2007 amounted to Baht 52,940 million, higher than in 2006 by Baht 1,364 million, or 2.6%, mainly due to the increase of brown spirits’ sales volume and the increase in the sales price in May and August. The total sales volume of spirits was 446.3 million litres, a decrease of 6.2%. This is attributed to the white spirits’ sales volume declining by 10.3% to 329.4 million litres, though brown spirits sales increased by 8.1% to 116.9 million litres.
Total assets as at end of December 2007 was Baht 79,527 million, a decrease of Baht 6,053 million, or 7.1%, compared with the end of 2006. Current assets decreased by Baht 393 million, mainly due to the decrease in inventory of finished goods. Non-current assets decreased by Baht 5,659 million, mainly due to the sale of land and a building known as the ThaiBev Tower Project, plus the impact of land revaluation, and depreciation of property, plant and equipment.

Risk Factors

Strategic Risks
Raw-material or container material price hikes or shortages could raise production costs, potentially hurting the company’s business
If the company cannot expand its business to markets for beer and spirits of higher prices, or cannot expand to international markets, the company’s growth may be affected A major strategy is brand base expansion through the launch of new brands of higher prices, which will lead to greater sales revenue. It is believed that beer and spirits of higher prices in the domestic market have considerable potential for expansion, and that consumers have altered their behavior of consuming economy beer and spirits to those of higher prices. That said, business expansion into such markets is very challenging for the company because of intense competition, thereby calling for massive investments associated with marketing, brand promotion, distribution development, and product sale, and the company is relatively new to marketing of products under this group. However, without development, promotion, and sale of higher-priced products under new brands, the company may lose opportunities for growth, particularly if the demand for premium beer rises at the expense of economy products. Equally important, this may harm the company’s financial status, performance, and business opportunities.
As a rule, raw materials and container materials critical to production and distribution are sold by third-party distributors, making it questionable whether such distributors can deliver them as required. In other words, the company’s operation could be affected by shortages or price hikes of such materials, namely molasses, malt, hops, water, glass bottles, labels, caps, and other packaging products. In addition, some raw materials and container materials are sold in currencies other than the Baht, therefore making their prices susceptible to changes in foreign-exchange rates, currency controls, government controls, world-market demand-supply changes, and climate. The higher the prices of these materials, the higher the production costs. Unless such cost rises are passed on to consumers, the company’s margins will shrink. And if delivery of these materials cannot be sustained, their prices are bound to sharply rise or affect production processes. All these could raise production costs, which may harm the company’s financial status, performance, and business opportunities. To mitigate such risks, the company has purchased critical raw materials and container materials in advance. As regards foreign-exchange risks, the company is going to use suitable financial tools together with the policy prohibiting a speculation on the foreign exchange.
Taking due care of crucial senior executives and succession plan Completed in 2007, expansion at the Kamphaengphet brewery has raised the company’s total capacity to 1,550 million liters per year. One possible strategy is to export the additional volume of beer to countries like Cambodia, Laos, and neighboring countries. However, with relatively little experience in selling consistently high volumes of beer in foreign countries, the company is unsure if it can raise its beer sales overseas. Besides, the company cannot guarantee sale of the above - mentioned additional volume of beer, which accompanies greater fixed costs. Still, the sales prices of such beer may not yield commercially acceptable profits - or yield potential losses. If so, the company may need to cut production, which will lower its capacity utilization of the brewery in question as well as its profit margin. In short, being unable to sell the above-mentioned additional volume of beer may harm the company’s financial status, performance, and business opportunities. To mitigate such risks, the company has set up an international sales team under the International Beverage Holdings Limited to take charge of international business expansion. In addition, to raise sales efficiency, domestic sales personnel have received training on ways to sell higher-priced products.
The company’s business today is executed by a group of senior executives and management team members with extensive experiences in its beverage subsidiaries, the loss of whom without equally competent successors could hurt the company’s business. For continued growth and success, the company needs to retain qualified and experienced personnel in management, sale, marketing, and production, and to train personnel to efficiently carry out production and product distribution. If the company cannot attract, retain, or motivate the above-mentioned personnel, or cannot find a suitable replacement for them, it is bound to lose customers and revenue. Still, should it successfully attract and retain such personnel, brain-drains are a distinct possibility, causing the company to pay these personnel elevated compensation to keep them, which may in turn harm the company’s financial status, performance, and business opportunities. The Office of Human Resources has initiated projects to continuously and sustainably raise the efficiency and effectiveness of recruitment, development, and retention of personnel critical to the company’s business.

Financial and Investment Risks It requires massive investment to conduct and expand the business, which is fraught with risks and uncertainties The company’s business is highly capital-intensive, calling for continuous investment in research and development of innovative products, new plant construction, as well as the maintenance and development of existing plants. In addition, the company needs to constantly monitor beverage market development, both domestic and regional (Southeast Asia). While past investments relied on loan sources, recapitalization, and internal cash flows, future business capital or fund used for improving breweries and distilleries is likely to come from additional loans and internal cash flows. Should such loan sources, however, be unavailable under desirable commercial conditions, the company may need to call for recapitalization, which will dilute shareholding. If the company cannot find a proper loan source, this may harm the company’s financial status, performance, and business opportunities.
This business falls under several regulations, making it susceptible to changes in such regulations - including higher costs and business limitations In the beverage business, compliance is essential to the production, packaging, quality maintenance, labeling, and domestic distribution, apart from compliance with the regulations of importing countries. Production and distribution are subjected to several laws and regulations concerning the environment and workplace conditions issued by the Ministry of Public Health, Ministry of Commerce, and Ministry of Finance. Non-compliance or violation of these laws and regulations, now or in the future, could result in excessive expenses and harm the company’s financial status, performance, and business opportunities.
To mitigate such risks, the finance group is required to participate in every investment planning, so that it may use pertinent information for its future financial structure preparation.
The company must also comply with regulations concerning beer and spirits advertisement, which is subject to more rigorous enforcement in the future, thereby diminishing the current and future marketing capability of such products, which may harm the company’s financial status, performance, and business opportunities.
Compliance Risks
The government’s regulations concerning the time and location of alcoholic beverage sale, or other future limitations concerning retail sales, could hurt sales, which may harm the company’s financial status, performance, and business opportunities.
Tax hikes or changes in tax computation methods may affect the demand for the company’s products The alcoholic beverage business calls for not only collection of excise and interior taxes, but contribution to the national fund for health promotion as well. Therefore, any tax hike or change in tax computation methods could cause the company to raise product prices at the expense of consumption and sales revenue. Apart from this, the company could end up wholly or partially bearing additional tax burdens. All these may harm the company’s financial status, performance, and business opportunities. Business expansion to products of higher prices and the international market plays an instrumental role in mitigating such tax implications for the company and its financial standing.
The Risk Management Committee has assigned relevant offices to constantly monitor and report on new laws and regulations so that business and production departments may efficiently develop marketing strategies and modify production processes to mitigate the impacts.
Compliance and exemption from compliance with environmental laws and regulations could hurt the company’s financial status, performance, and business opportunities Operation under this business comes under laws concerning the environment, health, and safety, as well as those concerning air emissions, effluent discharges into water bodies, and related matters. Violations are regarded as both civil and criminal offenses, potentially resulting in the revocation of licenses and factory closure. Even if the company is not the culprit, expenses are bound to be incurred for fact-finding examination and elimination of contaminants. Expenses are naturally incurred for compliance with the laws concerning the environment, health, and safety, and other regulations alike. If new laws become more rigorous or drastically modified, if it can be proved that the company’s past operation emitted contaminants without the company’s knowledge, or if new regulations are issued concerning the cleaning of contaminants, more expenses than previously projected are a possibility, which may harm the company’s financial status, performance, and business opportunities.

IBHL Highlights International Beverage Holdings Limited
International Beverage Holdings Limited (InterBev) has been established to be the international arm of Asia’s leading drinks business, the Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (ThaiBev) with an outstanding portfolio of beverage alcohol brands across spirits, wine and beer categories. These global operations are managed out of our 4 regional headquarters located in Hong Kong, Singapore, North America, and the United Kingdom together with our major scotch operation of 5 distilleries in Scotland. We currently export our brands to over 80 countries outside Thailand, managing this directly with our in-house sales and marketing teams as well as through suitable local distributors where relevant. The changing face of the world’s drinks industry will create opportunities for the development of our company in the years ahead. Consumers are demonstrating an increasing desire to trade up to more premium products as well as to experiment with new and interesting brands and these are just two of the trends that we believe will help InterBev achieve its strong brand growth targets.
A successful redesign of core Thai products for key export markets
The Risk Management Committee has assigned relevant offices to constantly monitor and report on new laws and regulations so that production departments can prepare to modify production processes and successfully comply with laws and regulations while mitigating potential impacts.
Enactment of a 1999 Thai law against trade monopoly could affect the company’s financial status, performance, and business opportunities The Trade Competition Act of 1999 prohibits practices against free trade while empowering the Trade Competition Commission to issue injunctions to dominant operators and unfair operators to refrain from, suspend, or alter their market shares. Unfair practices include price fixing and making unfair conditions. Since the company is Thailand’s largest brewer and distiller, with several products occupying leading market shares, it is subject to complaints from rivals and other parties of unlawful practices. Therefore, the act and accompanying regulations could harm the company’s financial status, performance, and business opportunities. The Risk Management Committee has assigned the Office of Legal Affairs to investigate and closely monitor such law and regulations, and educate other units to prevent wrongdoings. Thai Beverage Public Company Limited has established a systematic risk management process, with at least quarterly meetings of the Risk Management Committee designed to review risk levels, issue measures, and approve contingency outlays for risk management. The objective is to ensure that these risks are accounted for by company personnel and work plans prudently executed, so that if undesirable events occurred, the damage could be alleviated.
We aim to build a strong and unique brand presence in all our core target markets throughout the world and 2007 has already seen the repackaging and successful launch of the iconic Chang Beer and Mekhong brands on the international stage • Chang Beer, Thailand’s number one beer brand, has been repackaged and recently launched in the major Western markets including the USA, UK, Europe and Australia with a focus on the premium imported beer market. • Mekhong has also been revamped to appeal to the more discerning spirits drinkers. It will be sold through high-end restaurants and cocktail bars in Europe, and North America with the help of its Thai-inspired collection of cocktail recipes.
Major relaunch of flagship malt whisky brand Balblair, one of our high-end malt brands, was also successfully repackaged and relaunched during 2007 in our biggest-ever launch programme to date for a single malt whisky. The striking new identity has been carefully crafted and will mean the vintages offer a superior choice for informed whisky drinkers across Europe, North America and the fast growing Asian region. Inver House Distillers, which was purchased by InterBev during 2007, has benefited from a buoyant Scotch market as well as a strategic shift towards focusing more on core malt brands. As a result, pre tax profits have risen significantly from the same period in 2006.

Awards Onward to the Number One spot with Thai Beverage Public Company Limited the pride of Thai businesses.
Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (“ThaiBev”) listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) with the intention of becoming a good example of a public company with good corporate governance. We stated at that time that we would try not simply to follow the rules and regulations of the market with regard to disclosure and transparency, but would strive to exceed them. Our success can only be measured by the stakeholders who experience our services firsthand. We were proud to receive some recognition within a very short time after listing in Singapore when it was announced we had been awarded The Securities Investor Association of Singapore’s (SIAS) 2006 Merit Award for transparency among newly-listed companies (New Issue) on the Singapore Exchange. This was given to ThaiBev to declare that it was among the most transparent new listings in Singapore as the company has hosted activities to disseminate information to investors and media continuously, as well as for transparently running its business.
Thai Beverage PLC. wins the “2006 Merit Award for Transparency among newly-listed Companies (New Issue) on the Singapore Exchange”
Contrary to popular belief, the eligibility for the “Best Investor Relations in the Singapore Market”award is not restricted to companies listed on the SGX, but rather all Southeast Asian companies that had some form of investor relations activities in Singapore in that year. There were no runners-up in 2007. Acclaim for “Capital Markets Deal of the Year 2006”
Whisky Magazine for “Icons of Whisky Distiller of the Year 2008”
IR Magazine accolades for “Best Investor Relations”
Shortly after, the Company was named Best Investor Relations in the 2006 Singapore Market By a Thai Company by IR Magazine. This UK journal relating to investors relations is published worldwide. To illiustrate further that the Company had not relaxed its efforts to maintain steady communications with investors, ThaiBev was awarded Best Investor Relations in the Singapore Market By a Thai Company in 2007 also. The judging panel cited as its reason for bestowing the Best Investor Relations award on ThaiBev as: “Thai Beverage Public Company Limited has a very good person doing its investor relations, especially in terms of explaining the business, providing disclosures and being knowledgeable about the company.”
As the Company’s listing in Singapore was one of the largest in terms of market cap, it was perhaps unsurprising that the listing was recognized and nominated for the IFR Asia Awards 2006. In February, 2007, IFR Asia Magazine named ThaiBev as winner of the Thailand Capital Market Deal of the year-Singapore IPO 2006, based on the firm’s initial public offering in Singapore of S$ 1.37 billion. Most recently, ThaiBev also garnered a silver medal for best annual report by a newly listed company by the Singapore Corporate Awards. The Awards are organised by the Business Times in collaboration with UBS and supported by the SGX. The Award “seeks to encourage excellent financial reporting presentation and a wider scope of disclosures beyond the minimum regulatory requirements... to create awareness of the role of both mandatory accounting standards and voluntary practices issued and recommended by the Council on Corporate Disclosure and Governance and The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore
and to increase awareness through the encouragement of social responsibility reporting that business enterprises and organisations are responsible to the community both as employers and corporate citizens.” Besides corporate governance, ThaiBev has received international recognition for the quality of the drinks it produces. It was a matter of great pride that the Company was awarded a gold medal at the Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA) 2007 for its Archa Beer. The beer won over the judges to claim the coveted Gold Medal in the European Lager Division. The Company holds the distinction of being the first Thai company to win a gold medal at AIBA, which is a globally recognized beer competition, in 1998 with Chang beer. Inver House Distillers was named ‘International Distiller of the Year’ in February 2008. The company beat off competition from exceptional companies throughout the world, including Japan, Ireland, Canada, India and Sweden and the USA. Inver House, who in the last year has globally re-launched their Balblair Single Malt as a super-premium ‘vintage’, reached the final of the ‘Icons of Whisky’ event by first beating competition in Scotland from Glenmorangie, Bowmore and William Grant & Sons, before claiming whisky’s highest accolade over seven other global finalists. The industry-voted award is designed to highlight the company who has ‘shown the most commitment to the development of whisky at all levels’ and is highly sought after. The event’s international judging panel recognised Inver House for bringing ‘dynamic, inspirational and dedicated passion’ to the world of whisky. Said one of the judges, “Inver House pioneer a creative approach to whisky and we believe that their team brings genuine passion and fresh thinking to all they do. They’ve made a very bold statement in recent times and every person on our panel strongly backed their win.”

Corporate Social Responsibility Report
Thais Are Ready to Give Each Other… Thai Bev for Thai Society Since the establishment in 2003 of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited, a conglomerate of affiliated companies, our core commitment has been to map out the policy and implement projects that benefit the Thai society, Thai people, and Thai spirit. This is because ThaiBev is convinced that ‘Thais never abandon other Thais’. Thais are ready to help each other, as reflected in ThaiBev’s social activities. These activities can be categorized into four aspects: education, sports, healthcare, and arts & culture. All through the years, ThaiBev has always been at the forefront in the private sector in its contribution to society. Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects will be further strengthened as everyone at ThaiBev, from senior executives down to the junior staff, recognizes the importance of participating in public service activities. The importance of the support for the society has been impressed upon all ThaiBev staffs, and is now being disseminated throughout the country. In 2007, ThaiBev implemented several projects under our commitment to “Give back to the Thai Society”. These projects included “ThaiBev Unites to Fight the Cold”, “Drive Safely with ThaiBev”, as well as other projects to help flood victims. The ‘ThaiBev Unites to Fight the Cold’ project has been carried out for eight consecutive years. This year we donated 200,000 blankets to villagers in 15 northern and northeastern provinces. The ‘Drive Safely with ThaiBev’ project, a joint project with the Royal Thai Police for the second year in a row, urged motorists to minimize road accidents and drive properly. As part of the project, safety helmets were given away to motorcyclists while copies of “Drive Safely with ThaiBev” manual were distributed to motorists in general.
Activities related to education included a joint program with other members of the Thai private sector to set up a fund for Thai students and educators who wish to pursue higher studies at Johns Hopkins University’s Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), as well as activities to promote Thai and US relations. In addition, ThaiBev sponsored the construction of a school building for Wat Hom Kred School, Sam Phran District, Nakhon Pathom Province. Other projects and activities included support to educational funds, school lunches for needy students, provision for educational equipment and sports equipment. On arts & culture, one of ThaiBev’s major projects was the renovation of mural paintings in the Buddha Saiyas Vihara, or the chapel of the Reclining Buddha, at Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimonmangkhlaram Rajwaramahawihan. The 150-year-old-plus paintings here were a prototype of the Rattanakosin Period art. The restoration took 10 years to complete and was ready for public viewing in 2007. The mural paintings, particularly the ones higher up near the ceiling thus difficult to view, were photographed and put on exhibit. Incidentally, these photographs appeared in the 2008 ThaiBev calendar. The healthcare aspects included the donation of modern medical equipment for the Chalerm Phra Kiat Sixth-cycle Birthday Anniversary of His Majesty the King Building, Phra Mongkutklao Hospital, valued at 3,000,000 baht. In addition, the much appreciated “Chang Clinic” in Kamphaengphet Province has continued to provide the people in the surrounding community with diagnosis and treatment by experienced specialists from hospitals in Bangkok and Kamphaengphet who volunteer their time at the clinic. Other healthcare activities included donation of ambulances to hospitals, donation of equipment to the mobile prostheses units of the Maha Vajiralongkorn Foundation and many other activities. The sports aspects included our active support to football, volleyball, tennis, snooker, and many other sports of interest to the Thai people, with expectations of improving the health of Thai youths, sporting skills and future victories in the international arena. ThaiBev also launched the “ThaiBev… Thai Talent” project in support of talented and gifted young Thais in various fields. These fields include music, sports, arts & cultural, and educational. Assorted forms of support are provided, such as scholarships, travel expenses to participate in tournaments or events in Thailand and abroad, as well as allowances.
ThaiBev embarked on the 8th “ThaiBev Unites to Fight the Cold” project in which 200,000 blankets worth 30 million baht were donated to villagers in 15 northern and northeastern provinces.

PR Talk
The year 2007 was extremely auspicious, as Thai people from all walks of life celebrated the 80th Birthday Anniversary of His Majesty the King who has devotedly himself to the development of the country and his subjects. ThaiBev was a proud part of this grand celebration in expressing its gratitude to His Majesty the King by participating in the “Ruam Jai Phak Rak Nai Luang” activities – one of which was the setting up of the “Thais Love the King Exhibition House” as a means to communicate to the viewers the bond between a king and his people as well as the sacrifice His Majesty made to better the livelihood of the Thai people in every corner of the country. In addition, ThaiBev in cooperation with the Photography Association of Thailand under His Majesty’s Royal Patronage organized the ‘Photos of the Land’, a photographic contest with four royal trophies, to celebrate the auspicious occasion of His Majesty the King’s 80th Birthday Anniversary. This was the first time for a photography competition to feature four Royal trophies in the same event, namely His Majesty the King’s trophy to be awarded under the theme “Thai People Love the King”; Her Majesty the Queen’s trophy under the theme “United in Harmony”; His Royal Highness Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn’s trophy under the theme “Love the Forest, Conserving the Water”; and Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn’s trophy under the theme “Agriculture the Thai Way”. Dr. Sumet Tantivejkul, Secretary-General of the Chaipattana Foundation, chaired the judging panel. Moreover, an exhibition of His Majesty the King’s photographic worked were put on display to the general public at Lifestyle Hall, 2nd floor, Siam Paragon shopping mall, from December 4 to 12, 2007. Last year, Thailand hosted the 24th University Summer Games – Universiade. ThaiBev, as the major sponsor, in cooperation with the Thai Sports Association under the Royal Patronage, constructed a “Thai Sports Village” to promote the uniqueness of Thai traditional sports for the appreciation of sports people and visitors from all over the world. It displayed all aspects of the Thai way of life from the perspective of sports as well as the history and uniqueness of Thai sports. The Thai Sports Village housed an exhibition of Thai sports history, the demonstration of traditional Thai sports such as loop takraw, kite flying, sword-fighting, boxing, chess, draughts,
traditional massage, and classical dances. It also included special demonstrations of kite-making, sword-fighting, and boxing lessons. In addition, ThaiBev solely, or in partnership with the public sector, the private sector and the mass media, implemented various public service activities. A significant example was its campaign to alleviate global warming – a critical issue for international organizations and nations worldwide, including Thailand. ThaiBev recognizes the importance and urgency of this issue and has drawn up policies for the corporation and affiliated companies. These include the cooperation with various organizations to implement measures against global warming. ThaiBev has also invited the media and investors to visit its plants to observe our modern production processes reflecting responsibility for society and the environment, efficient use of energy, as well as the application of alternative energy derived from the waste treatment systems.

Also present at the press conference was ThaiBev President, Mr. Thapana Sirivadhanabhakdi (Center).

Members of the media visited Beer Thai (1991) Public Co., Ltd., Kamphaengphet Province, to observe the brewing processes of Chang Beer and Archa Beer, on the occasion of Archa Beer winning a gold medal award at the Australian International BeeAwards (AIBA) 2007.

Presiding at the opening ceremony of the “Village” was ThaiBev President, Mr. Thapana Sirivadhabhakdi (3rd from left).

Audit report of Certified Public Accountant To the shareholders of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited
I have audited the accompanying consolidated and separate balance sheets as at 31 December 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries, and of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited, respectively. The Company’s management is responsible for the correctness and completeness of information presented in these financial statements. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits. I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, the consolidated and separate financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions as at 31 December 2007 and 2006 and the results of operations and cash flows for the years then ended of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries, and of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited, respectively, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As described in note 29 to the financial statements, the Company’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006 have been restated for the effects of the change in accounting policy for investments in subsidiaries and associates from the equity method of accounting to the cost method, and are now termed ‘separate’ financial statements. Disclosure of significant differences between generally accepted accounting principles in Thailand and International Financial Reporting Standards is not a required part of the basic financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles in Thailand, but it is presented in Note 36 to the notes to financial statements for information purposes only. I have not audited or reviewed such information and therefore do not express any audit opinion or review report thereon.

Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. Movements in fair values are recognised in the consolidated statement of income.
(a) Deferred tax There is no Thai accounting standard currently effective in relation to accounting for deferred taxes. Whilst not specifically addressed in Thai GAAP, provisions for income taxes of the Group are typically based on corporate income taxes currently payable in the period under the Revenue Code of Thailand. The Group does not, therefore, recognise deferred tax assets and liabilities for the current period.
Under IFRS, provision is made for deferred tax using a balance sheet approach, with deferred tax calculated on temporary differences, being the differences between the tax and the book values of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax charge or credit is the change in the period in deferred tax liabilities and assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised
(d) Investment in property In accordance with Thai GAAP, owned land held to earn rentals is classified as part of property, plant and equipment. This land is carried at a revalued amount less any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Movements on the revaluation surplus are reflected in equity.
Under IFRS, owned property held to earn rentals is classified as part of investment property. This is covered by IAS No. 40 Investment Property. IAS No. 40 allows enterprises to choose either a fair value model or a cost model to measure investment property.

The Group’s primary obligations in respect of employee benefits are contributions on behalf of employees to provident funds and the payment of statutory severance benefits on retirement and terminating employment involuntarily. Severance termination and retirement benefits vary according to various

factors, including the employee’s service life and salary. Whilst not specifically addressed in Thai GAAP, contributions are charged as an expense as incurred.
For the purposes of disclosure under IFRS, the Group has adopted the cost model for investment property consisting of both land and buildings. For Thai GAAP, the land has been revalued while the buildings have not.
Under IFRS, employee benefits are accounted for in accordance with IAS No. 19 Employee Benefits. Accordingly, termination benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense when, and only when, the enterprise is demonstrably

Implementation and Status of ThaiBev’s SAP Project (for this year) In 2001, Beer Thai (1991) Public Company Limited, a subsidiary of ThaiBev, started SAP implementation for its brewery group and realized benefits from data consistency and cooperation across departments/companies. Even though the existing system could support financial and management operations and enable ThaiBev to close its accounting book efficiently and in a timely manner, ThaiBev wished to further realize the benefits of collaboration across business units and consistent business processes via SAP implementation. In the initial phase, ThaiBev approved a budget in 2006 to implement the SAP system for holding company and 33 core subsidiaries in Thailand.

3. Three announcements/report involving with occupying the positions of Directors and Executives
(1) Mr. Panote Sirivadhanabhakdi was appointed as Director of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited to replace Mr. Paisal Chevasiri who resigned from the position.
The SAP implementation for ThaiBev in this initial phase is slightly ahead of the original schedule and covers more companies in its scope than that in the proposed plan. In 2007, ThaiBev successfully went live using the SAP system in 32 subsidiaries in Thailand, including sixteen distilleries, one industrial alcohol distillery, five beer and spirits’ agencies,
and 10 related business companies. In addition, ThaiBev is going live with the SAP system in another 3 companies, including Thai Beverage Logistics Co., Ltd., Cosmos Brewery (Thailand) Co., Ltd. and ThaiBev on the January 1, 2008.
To aid in the uniform understanding and utilization of the standardized processes, ThaiBev plans to extend SAP implementation to another 15 direct and indirect subsidiaries in Thailand, including recently acquired distillery in 2008.
(2) Mr. Kasemsan Veerakul resigned from the position of Vice President of Office of Corporate Communications of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited and also resigned from the position of director of subsidiary companies.

5. Fifty three miscellaneous announcements to either conform to the regulations of the SGX or to give information to
of the project scope in 2008 will mainly be implemented by the ThaiBev IT team with some support from the existing
investors, involving details of capital increases of the Company’s subsidiaries, the change of the name of Company’s
consulting team and its implementation costs will still be within the originally approved budget.
subsidiaries, a summary of business performance results for each quarter for investors, a clarification of news about the Company, and disclosure of connected transactions among interested persons.
Because of the diversity of ThaiBev’s overseas business, ThaiBev will consider IT investment in these subsidiaries based on their existing IT system, size of business, local regulations and social environment. Meanwhile, ThaiBev will continuously improve its financial consolidation process by utilizing the Consolidated Performance Management System, based on the current SAP implementation in Thailand, to collect key accounting and operational information from both the SAP and existing systems used in subsidiaries.
