Moreover, as the public sectors have polices to support projects related to renewable energy constantly, i.e. energy from biogas, biomass, electricity generation from garbage, solar energy and biodiesel, so it is the driving force for the Company to accelerate the development on potential of our resources, personnel and technology used in the alternative energy and renewable energy projects to prepare readiness and efficiency in order to make it accept at the national level. During the past years, the Company has initiated various commercial projects, i.e. petroleum production plant in Sukhothai Province and 2 Solar PV Rooftop projects of the Metropolitan Electricity Authority, with total generating capacity of 0.3 MWe. In 2014, the Company’s income from sales was 992.62 million Baht, an increase of 1.50 percent from 2013 because the Company began to recognize revenue from the Compressed Bio Gas (CBG) Plant, the Petroleum Production Plant (PPP) Project.

As a result, net profit of the Company has been significantly reduced. However, the Company is well aware of this result and the Company strongly determines to accelerate on development of the Company’s performance and make it increase within the short period of time. As our vision is to determine to the operator of clean energy, petrochemicals and environmental friendly utilities by maintaining its national leadership and to be recognized at international level, adhering to corporate governance principle with social and environmental responsibility. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to thank all shareholders, the valued customers, the business partners, all stakeholders as well as the management and the employees of the Company for participation and support for the constant and steady growth of the Company’s business to move forward to the 20th year with strong and efficiency and to become the sustainable alternative and renewable energy development leader.

Investment in renewable energy industry 1) Compressed Bio-methane Gas (CBG) The Company’s CBG project is located in Mae Taeng District, Chiang Mai, on the leased land within a pig farm of Mongkol and Sons Farm Co., Ltd. (which is not a connected person of the Company) covering an area of 11 rai 1 ngan. CBG produced from waste from such pig farm is used as fuel for vehicles to replace NGV. The construction of this project has been completed and it can produce CBG which has qualification equivalent to NGV for vehicles pursuant to the notification of the Department of Energy Business. Its production capacity is approximately 6 tons per day or approximately 2,160 tons per year. The Company supplies all of CBG produced from the Company to PTT Public Co., Ltd. PTT shall resell CBG to the PTT gas stations which are located in areas closed to the Company’s plant. The Company has entered into the contract to produce CBG for deliver and sale to PTT for a period of 15 years. In addition, the project has been granted promotional privileges from the Board of Investment on March 16, 2010. Privileges granted are exemption of corporate income tax on net profit for a period of 8 years commencing as from the date of earning operating income and a 50% reduction of corporate income tax of net profit derived from the promoted operations for a period of 5 years after the tax-exemption period ends. The Company realized revenues from sales of CBG at its plant in Mae Tang Plant, Chiangmai Province since August 2013. CBG has been certified on ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System Standards from SGS (Thailand) Co., Ltd. since May 2014. Characteristics of products or services Compressed Bio-methane Gas or CBG is produced by improving quality of biogas by reducing carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and humidity until amount of methane has increased. Its qualification is equivalent to Natural Gas for Vehicle (NGV) or Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) which has biogas production system then compressed it in high pressure tank to be used as fuel for vehicle to replace usage of NGV. CBG produced by the Company has qualifications equal to those of NGV pursuant to the notification of the Department of Energy Business. CBG production of the Company is one of the renewable projects which support renewable energy usage pursuant to the main policy of Ministry of Energy due to high cost of natural gas for vehicle in areas far from natural gas pipeline and shortage problem of NGV in northern and north eastern regions because demand of NGV in such regions have increased. Consequently, the Ministry of Energy has to accelerate policy on enhancement of energy security by supporting and encouraging the research and development of renewable energy technology development and clean energy which uses new technology as well as to conduct research on usage of biogas to produce compressed bio-methane gas for vehicle to replace NGV on transportation sector. The Company, with the support from Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency (DEDE), Ministry of Energy, jointly with Energy Research Center of Mae Jo University arranged “Development of Biogas from Pig Energy Transformation for Future 51

Besides from generating income and net profit to the Company, this project can increase options to the vehicle users and it is also beneficial to the country as it is the production of alternative energy to replace usage of other natural resources, i.e. fuel oil and natural gas. It also makes benefits from the recycling waste or pig excrement, so it can entirely help reduce pollution and waste incurred from the pig farm which impact to the environment and the communities. Characteristic of the customers and target customer Direct customer of the Company is PTT Public Co., Ltd. (PTT) only because the CBG project has initiated with the cooperation with PTT due to the restrictions of PTT on expansion of NGV gas stations which must be located around the natural gas pipeline areas and high transportation cost when transporting NGV to the remote areas.

Competition There are many business operators who have engaged in business of import and distribution of chemical products and equipment because there are various chemicals for various industries. Each business operator has different expertise. The Company has an expertise on distribution of chemicals and products for oil refineries, gas separation plant and petrochemicals industries. Competition in this industrial group is not harsh when compared with other industries because the operators in this Energy Transformation for Future 64


UAC Global Public Company Limited

field have to be the specialized experts and must have good experienced sales team who can provide suggestions, advices and after-sale-services to the customers. Additionally, new comers may find that it is quite difficult to enter in this field of business because they need to have long term relationship with the customers and a lot of investments when compared with supply of chemicals and equipment to general industries. It is quite complicated to identify market share of the Company by industry groups because there are a lot of chemicals and equipment suppliers and range of their supplied products are so vast. Anyway, the Company has readiness to compete with other distributors because the Company has experiences and the specialized sales team to sell chemicals and equipment for large infrastructure industries and the products sold have good quality and standards in world class level with after-salesservice. In addition, the Company always has good relationship with the customers, so we are trusted by the customers for a long time. Even though government has announced the Alternative Energy Development Plan: AEDP 2012-2021 and investment cost of each project is not high, investment in renewable and alternative energy projects requires knowledge, expertise, and experience about energy sector and relevant production technology. UAC has operated in energy business for almost 20 years by import and distribution of chemical products, equipment and being a technical advisor, which would be the great opportunity for UAC to invest in energy projects. Moreover, investments by the other operators in energy projects also increase our revenue from sales of chemical products and equipment as well. Competitive strategies The Company has experiences and skills on distribution of chemicals and equipment for various industries and most of them are infrastructure industries of the country. During almost 20 years of business operations, the Company has always developed and increased type of products supplied to meet the increased and diversified demand of the customers. The competitive strategies of the Company are to focus on strengthening long term satisfaction and relationship with the customers. Our marketing and competitive strategies are as follows: 1. Supply good quality products which are corresponding to the customers’ need both on quantity and quality from the worlds’ leading manufacturers with Certificate of Acceptance (COA). Products shall be tested and controlled to ensure their quality and standards by the Company’s team and the third party’s surveyor so that the products shall be strictly conformed to the specified standards, therefore the Company can guarantee quality and standards of the products sold. 2. Always keep the customer satisfied with regards to products and services provided. The Company studies tendency of the product’s markets continually to seek and select new products which can respond to the needs of the customer in each group of industry. In addition, the Company keeps contacting, strengthening good relationship and taking care of the customers continually to ensure that the products can be offered correspondingly to the demand and schedule of the customers. The Company also has after-sales-service process to acknowledge problems and provide corrective solutions to prevent any reoccurrence of such problem, which can lead to sustainable satisfaction to the customers in the long term. 3. Emphasize on complete and on time delivery of products, as well as safety transportation by hiring the specialized transportation company for maximum efficiency and avoidance of any potential accident from transportation. This practice can reduce cost on procurement of trucks and administration and management costs of transportation personnel. Energy Transformation for Future 65


UAC Global Public Company Limited

4. Fix price properly and flexibly pursuant to pricing conditions in each market. As most of the products sold by the Company are by-product from crude oil refinery and petrochemical processes, so their pricing mechanism have been defined and varied by condition of oil and petrochemical prices. Hence, pricing has to be fixed with flexibility, appropriateness and competitively and at the same time their margin must be adequately maintained to support the selling and administrative expenses and other operations. The Company regularly follows up prices of the relevant products in the world market, so that prices of its products can be fixed appropriately and effectively corresponding to the world market. Pricing and margin shall be based on qualifications and competitiveness of product in each product group. 5. Focus on sale directly to customers in main industries in large volume and on continued basis by sales teams who have experiences and knowledge on products who shall contact and provide details on products correspondingly to the customers’ demand as well as provide consultancy and after sales services which can increase satisfaction, sales income and good image to the Company as the keen expert on this business. Industrial and Competitive Trends The competition on business of import and distribution of chemicals and equipment in the large infrastructure industries, such as oil refinery, petrochemical industry and large power plants is not intense because the operator must have specialized knowledge and good relationship with the customers and it is a business which required a lot of investments. The traders tend to compete by adding value to the products supplied by increasing consultancy and recommendation services including finding new products which can increase value and reduce costs to the customers. However, these business operators might encounter problems concerning with policies on request for construction of new plant which requires to have the environment and health impact assessment. This issue may take time to consider and it can impact the Company and the competitors who are traders on import and distribution of chemicals related to oil refinery and infrastructure industries. For the Energy situation trend, the ministry of energy predicted that the total demand in energy consumption in 2015 would increase for 2.9% from 2014. The reason is due to the increase in demand of commercial use such as petroleum products that tends to have an increase demand in Bensin and Diesel at 3.5% and 2.2% from 2014 respectively, while the use of LPG, Propane, and Butane would increase 3.7% from 2014 and the use of electricity in 2015 tends to increase 4.8%.

Besides, the Company has a policy to find new and additional customers to reduce too much dependence on any customer.  Risks from Changes in Costs of Goods Most of the chemical products distributed by the Company are products of petrochemical industries of which their prices are fluctuated pursuant to prices of crude oil in the world’s markets and the petrochemical industrial conditions which have been changed in cycle. Such conditions make the Company has risks on cost of goods which might have unavoidably impact to margin of the Company. Most of the Company’s selling costs are cost of goods. The Company keeps tracking movement of chemical product prices both domestically and overseas, as well as tendency of crude oil prices in the Energy Transformation for Future 67


UAC Global Public Company Limited

world market constantly in order to prepare itself for changes in cost of goods and to conduct sales and inventory management plan effectively. However, such risks from changes in product prices in the world market can be reduced to some certain levels, because most of the Company’s customers are in the petroleum and petrochemical business, so they have good and thorough understandings about conditions, trends and cycle of raw materials prices. Hence, the Company has flexibility in fixing selling prices of products if there is any change which can have impact to such product prices. Moreover, most of the products ordered or imported for distribution already have purchase orders from the customers or they are products with the annual purchase and sales contract and purchased prices have already been fixed. There are only small amount of products or some certain types of products which are kept in the stock pending for purchase order from the customers or for mainly supply to the retail customers.  Risks from Dependent on Principal Manufacturers Nature of business operation of the Company is to import and distribute chemical products and equipment used in various industrial plants. The Company is a distributor of 3 principal manufacturers: 1) UOP LLC which is a large company in the United States of America that provides the stateof-the-art technology for businesses of the refinery, natural gas separation, petrochemicals and essential manufacturing industries for more than 90 years. The Company is a distributor of UOP LLC since 1995; 2) PALL Corporation which is a company in the USA and it is the world’s largest and most wellknown manufacturer of products concerning with the filtration, separation and purification. The Company is a distributor of PALL Corporation since June 1996, and 3) TOC Glycol Co., Ltd. which is a subsidiary of PTT Chemicals Public Co., Ltd. The Company is a distributor of TOC Glycol Co., Ltd since 2006 and the products distributed are Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) and Diethylene Glycol (DEG) that are used in the painting and solvent industry, textile industry and the plastic pellets, bottles and resins manufacturing plants. The Company has been appointed to be a distributor of products and equipment of such principal manufacturers and most of such distribution contracts has term of approximately 1-3 years with clearly conditions on the contract renewal. Nonetheless, the Company may have risk if such counterparty does not renew the contract or terminates the contract upon the expiry term which can make the Company loses income from being the distributors of such products. However, the Company is a distributor of those principal manufacturers, i.e. UOP LLC and PALL Corporation continually for more than 20 years and it is a distributor of TOC Glycol Co., Ltd. for more than 10 years. During all those years, the Company can keep good relationship and has been trusted by those companies continually. The Company has a tendency to increase order from such manufacturers in proportion to the growth of sales amount of the Company. Therefore, the Company is confident that the distribution contract shall be renewed continually in the future. Moreover, the Company did not have any historical record for unable to renew contract with such principal manufacturers at all.

1.2 Risks from Manufacturing of Compressed Bio-methane Gas (CBG) Currently, the Company is operating the Compressed Bio-methane Gas (CBG) Project and the first CBG project is located in Mae Tang District, Chiang Mai Province. This project produces CBG from pig excrement obtained from the pig farm which is located in the same area of the leased land of the CBC Project. Its commercial operation has started in the 3 rd quarter of 2013 and all of CBG produced from the plant has been solely sold to PTT Public Company Limited to be further resold to the PTT gas stations which are located closed to Chiangmai Airport. However, the Company may have risks from such business operation as follows:  Risks relating to raw materials As pig excrement shall be used as the main raw material for CBG production process, therefore in order to procure such raw material, the Company has executed an agreement with Mongkol and Sons Farm, the landlord of the Company leased land, on procurement arrangement of all pig excrement from its farm. Moreover, apart from having the pig farm which is located in the project site, Mongkol and Sons farm also has another pig farm which is approximately 60 kilometers far from the project site. This second farm shall be a reserve resource of raw material in case there is a circumstance which makes the amount of pig excrement from the farm located in the project site is inadequate for the production needs. However, the Company may have risks from shortage of raw materials, in case of epidemic in the pig farm or any other force majeure events. Therefore, the Company has conducted a study on usage of alternative raw materials to be used in the project, such as Napier grass, an energy crops, which after various researches, is proven to have high energy content as contingency plan in case of shortage of raw material which may be incurred in the future. Usage of such alternative raw materials may lead to higher cost of production and may result in reduction of investment return of the Company. 

Risks from not having land of its own

The Company did not have a land of its own for operation of CBG production project. Instead, the Company has entered into a long term land lease agreement with Mongkol and Sons Farm to be used as the site for the project as well as the plant building and the production equipment. Therefore, the Company may have risk from prematurely termination of agreement by the counterparty, which can cause damage to the Company and can cause the investment rate of return to be unable to achieve the target as per estimated. The Company’s agreement may be prematurely terminated due to the following cases: breach of payment, default of lease payment, failure to rectify cause of default or being adjudged bankrupt by the court and etc. However, the lease fee under the agreement in each year, including the adjustment of lease fee in each period of time is not high. Additionally, the Company has to normally and strictly comply with the conditions stated in the agreement, for instance, an agreement on usage of the property for business operation of the production project, maintenance and improvement of the leased property to be always in good condition throughout the lease period, usage of the leased property rightly pursuant to the law, so the opportunity that the Company is unable to comply with the agreement and is prematurely terminated is very improbable.

Risks from the accidents within the project

The products of the project are inflammable and have high risks for causing grave dangers which may cause severe impact to the project and the nearby communities. Such accident included gas leakage or fire which may cause by the defect in design or installation of gas production and storage system, failure of safety equipment and lack of the right knowledge and understanding from the personnel in charge. However, the biogas production systems, including piping, connecting point and safety systems of the CBG Project have been correctly designed pursuant to the engineering principles and safety standards on operations. The project also uses safety equipment for biogas system to prevent and reduce accident and to maintain efficiency of the system. Besides, the Company has trained and educated its personnel whose works are relevant to the production process to have knowledge and understanding pursuant to the engineering principles and safety standards to prevent risks which may occur to the project and may have impact to the nearby communities. In addition, in order to prevent damages which may arise from such risks, the Company has effected all industrial risks insurance policy by specifying conditions that they must cover all property damages, the Company’s personnel and the third parties. 1.3

Risk from Petroleum Production Plant Project: PPP

The Company has operated the petroleum production plant project of which total investment cost was of approximately 620 million Baht. This project is located in Kokrat Sub-district, Kongkrailat District, Sukhothai Province. Its construction and mechanical completion have been completed on December 28, 2013 and its test run for production process has been started since the 1 st quarter of 2014 and some of the products have already been delivered since early of the 2 nd quarter of 2014. The Company may have risks from investment and operation in such project as follows: 

Risk from dependent on raw material from one manufacturer.

Main raw material used in the petroleum production process of this project is the associated gas, which is by-product from the crude oil production process. The Company has entered into the contract to purchase such gas from Siam Moeko Company Limited (SML) on the petroleum concession area from Burapa-A production platform only. The investment ratio of SML in such concession is 100 percent. Such petroleum concession has been granted from the Department of Natural Fuels, Ministry of Energy under the concession number 1/2547/67 on the concession areas of L10/43 and L11/43. The term of such contract is 36 months and it can be renewed for 12 months each from the expiry date. Such contract does not have the minimum amount of gas that SML has to supply and does not guarantee quality of gas to be supplied to the Company. In addition, it did not define a clearly condition which specified that SML shall not supply the associated gas to other seller or use the associated gas for its own benefits. The Company may have risk if SML cannot supply the estimated raw materials in an adequate amount for the production which may make the Company encounter with shortfall of raw materials or if raw materials supplied do not have quality as per expected which may impact to performance of the project. Energy Transformation for Future 70


UAC Global Public Company Limited

Furthermore, the Company may have risk from changing of associated gas price because usage of associated gas is regarded as usage of benefit of by-product of petrochemicals production, which is natural resource of the country. The determination of purchase and sales price of associated gas is required to have approval from the Department of Natural Fuels first because it shall impact fee income of the public sectors to be occurred in the future. Therefore, if price of the associated gas increases, it shall impact cost of main raw material, which consequently shall impact the performance of the Company. However, when considering risks about SML’s usage of the associated gas for its own benefits, such as gas separation or gas transformation, the possibility is very unlikely because main businesses of SML are exploration and drilling crude oil which have already generated high returns. In addition, separation and transformation of the associated gas need to have high investment and it may not worth the opportunity loss from using such money to take risk in investment in other business apart from its main business which can generate high returns. In addition, the Company is now constructing transmission pipeline from the PPP Project to receive petroleum raw material from other petroleum resources in nearby areas to reduce such risk. 

Risk from dependent on a few major customers

The Company shall supply CNG which is main product and has the highest amount when compared with other products obtained from the production process to PTT Public Company Limited. According to the memorandum of understanding (MOU) of the CNG production project obtained from crude oil production source for communication purpose (Sukhothai Province) that the Company has made with PTT on July 30, 2012, PTT expressed its intention to consider to purchase all of CNG produced by the Company from this project at the worthily and appropriated price for further resale purpose. The contract for purchase and sales of CNG from the joint project has been executed on March 12, 2013. The production amount of LPG and NGL shall be lower than CNG and they are not a large amount when compared with demand of the market. The Company supplies LPG to potential purchasers who are in the group of fuel traders under Section 7 of Fuel Trade Act B.E. 2543 (A.D. 2000), while NGL has been supplied to general petrochemicals manufacturers. The Company may have risk from dependent on one customer in case of selling of CNG or from having only a few customers in case of selling of all three types of products because the Company may not have high bargaining power. In addition, natural gas is the product under control of the government, so Company may not be able to truly specify its selling price. However, CNG is popular alternative energy and number of its usage is increasing continually each year and its demand is higher than the amount produced domestically that it has to be imported from the neighboring countries. Therefore, the Company is confident that PTT shall purchase CNG produced by the Company’s project under the appropriated and fair purchase price and pursuant to CNG pricing formula that the Company and PTT jointly studied and specified together. 

Risk from the change in policy of the government

The prices of products produced from the petroleum production plant are fluctuated pursuant to the world market prices. However, for the past period, the government has the policy to promote usage of natural gas as alternative fuel for transportation sector in order to reduce impact to economic Energy Transformation for Future 71


UAC Global Public Company Limited

conditions due to continued increasing prices of crude oil and petroleum products in the world market. Other reasons were to reduce pollution to the environment and to support energy strategy of the country which encouraged usage of fuel that can be procured from domestic sources. The prices of natural gas sold in the country have been controlled by the public sectors continually and they are still below prices of the world market and do not vary much. Hence, the entrepreneur cannot specify selling price appropriately, fairly and consistent with the actual production cost. At the same time, if there is a change in energy policy or the purchase price has been changed which do not consistent with cost of the entrepreneur, it may impact income or cost of the project. However, since natural gas price structures within the country do not reflect actual cost, so the government has to be burdened with energy cost through oil fund which is in deficit continually. Therefore, the government has announced the policy to let natural gas prices float to adjust their price structure to reflect the reality. The cabinet has approved the guidelines on adjustment of retail price of NGV and LPG on May 14, 2012 pursuant to resolution of the National Energy Policy Council (NEPC) on May 14, 2012 to reflect the actual cost. In addition, after the launch of the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015, purchase and sales prices of various products including natural gas will be liberalized and pursuant to the market mechanism. So domestic natural gas prices shall be increased pursuant to market prices and it will be favorable factor to build up opportunity for the Company in the future. 

Risk from not having ownership right in the land of the project site

The Company has entered into the land lease agreement with 3 non-related parties for the land to be used as project site with lease term of 4 years. Upon expiry of the lease term, the lessor shall consent renewal right to the Company for another 4 years each, but total term shall not exceed 16 years from expiration of the 4 years of the first land lease agreement. The lease renewal shall be effective after the Company sends a notice informing its renewal intention to the lessor at least 60 days prior the expiry of the lease term. Pursuant to conditions of such lease agreement, the Company may have risk if the lessor terminates the lease agreement with the Company in the future. However, under conditions on expiration of the agreement and termination of the lease agreement which has not been initiated by the Company, such conditions can be applied only after the Company has been adjudged bankrupt by the court. In addition, as the Company has entered into the land lease agreement and has registered the land lease with the land official in order to have legal binding effect, so the Company can use benefits from such land in the long term to undertake business as per specified in the agreement (if legal registration has not been made, such land lease agreement shall be in effect for only 3 years, after that the landlords may exercise their right to terminate the agreement). Moreover, the conditions of the land lease agreement also specified that if right of the Company has been deprived or refuted due to whatever reason which made the Company unable to possess or use benefits of the leased properties, either partly or wholly, the lessor or the owner of the land must compensate for damages, opportunity loss including all expenses incurred to the Company which will be quite a large sum of money, so it is very unlikely that the landlord shall breach such agreement 

Risk from accident within the project

Products of the project are flammable and have high risks for causing dangers which may have severe impact to the project and the surrounding communities. Such accident includes gas leakage or Energy Transformation for Future 72


UAC Global Public Company Limited

fire, which may either cause by negligence of the employees or from usage life of component of equipment which requires carefulness in control, supervise and management of the project. However, the PPP Project uses production technology equivalent to those of the leading natural gas manufacturers and design of the production systems must obtain approval from the relevant government agencies and they must be pursuant to conditions specified in the associated gas purchase and sales contract with SML. The project design must be pursuant to the international standards and Thai standards which shall also mean that the piping, the interconnection points with combustion system and safety system of the project must be pursuant to the international standards to prevent risks which might be occurred to the project and impacted SML which is located closed to the project site. In addition, in order to prevent damages which may arise from such risks, the Company has effected all industrial risks insurance policy by specifying the conditions that they must cover all property damages, the Company’s personnel and the third parties. 1.4

Risks from Investment in Various Projects 1.4.1 One Biogas Plant Projects in the upper northern provinces (the Company invests 100% in such project) and two projects of UAC & TPT Energy Company Limited (the Company is a major shareholders which holds 51 percent of its shares). 

Risks on Raw Material

Biogas power plant shall use Napier grass as main raw material. The Company has conducted the experiments and encouraged farmers in the surrounding areas of project site to plant Napier grass and it shall enter into a long term contract to purchase such grass. Each project requires areas for planting Napier grass at approximately 600-800 rais. The Company also imported mechanical engine to cut grass to increase efficiently with the lowest cost. 

Risks from Successful Operation of the Project

Biogas power production plant fuelled by Napier grass will be a small plant, scattered in various appropriated areas. It can be constructed as per the City Planning Notification of each province. The Company has applied for a construction permit and plant operation permit pursuant to all regulations and laws. The Company also emphasizes on development and enhancement of good relationship and right understanding with the communities situated surrounding the project site as well as recruits the skilled personnel to supervise and manage the project and provides the adequate operators to support this project. 

Investment Fund Risks

The Company received supporting fund of 10 million Baht per project from the Energy Policy and Planning Office (EPPO) and currently the Company is negotiating for credit approval from the financial institute for all project operations. The Company shall manage overall liquidity and debt to equity ratio to be not more than 1 time.

Energy Transformation for Future 73


UAC Global Public Company Limited

Risk from Changes of Government Policy

Biogas power plant is a part of the Renewal and Alternative Energy Development Plan for 25 Percent in 10 Years (2012-2021) of the Ministry of Energy which aim to increase alternative energy at least 25 percent of total required energy. 1.4.2 Four Solar PV Rooftop Projects, with total generating capacity of 2 MW of UAC Energy Co., Ltd. UAC Energy Co., Ltd. has invested in 4 solar PV rooftop projects with total generating capacity of 2 MW by entering into the power purchase agreement with the Metropolitan Electricity Authority and Provincial Electricity Authority for 25 years. Total investment is approximately 120 million Baht and operation period shall be from November 2013-May 2015. 

Risk from Successful Operation of the Project

The Company has employed the experienced personnel to supervise this project and has selected Enerray from Italy which has experiences and availability to be the EPC contractor for all of its 4 projects. In addition, the Company has executed the power purchase agreement with the Metropolitan Electricity Authority and Provincial Electricity Authority with contract term of 25 years already. Presently 2 of 4 projects have been completed and supplied to the system while the remaining 2 projects are under construction process and it is expected that construction and operation shall be within the specified timeframe. 

Risk on Investment Fund

The Company has received financial support from domestic financial institutes and its internal liquidity is adequately to undertake such 4 projects. 

Risk from Changes in Government Policy

Solar PV Rooftop project is a part of the Renewal and Alternative Energy Development Plan for 25 Percent in 10 Years (2012-2021) of the Ministry of Energy which aim to increase alternative energy at least 25 percent of total required energy. 1.5

Risks from Performance of the Associated Company

The Company has invested in Bangchak Biofuel Company Limited (“Bangchak Biofuel”), the Company’s associated company, with shareholding ratio of 30%. Its commercial operation has been commenced since December 2009. The Company may have risk from performance of Bangchak Biofuel and such performance shall have direct impact to net profit and financial statement of the Company. Income from profit/loss sharing from such investments shall not be recorded as any costs in profit and loss statement of the Company and it is not subject to any calculation for corporate income tax. Therefore, if Bangchak Biofuel has good performance, it can make the Company realize more profits from investments and subsequently can increase its net profit. On the other hand, poor or loss Energy Transformation for Future 74


UAC Global Public Company Limited

performance of Bangchak Biofuel can impact and reduce net profit of the Company as well. In 2014, Bangchak Biofuel decided to invest in the 2nd biodiesel unit which is now under design for construction process and it is expected to be completed within the 2 nd quarter of 2016. Risks from business operation of Bangchak Biofuel can be summarized as follows: 

Risks from Fluctuation of Amount and Price of Raw Materials

Since production of biodiesel still mainly depends on crude palm oil and prices crude palm oil are fluctuated pursuant to demand and supply of the market. The imbalance of demand and supply shall have impact to stability of crude palm oil prices and it may impact biodiesel production cost. If biodiesel production cost is high, it can obstruct the development and promotion on usage of alternative energy. In addition, according to the policy of public sectors in 2014, the Ministry of Energy has a policy to enforce compulsory use of B5 Biodiesel to B7 Biodiesel (diesel oil with mixture of 7% palm oil) within 2014. Such policy shall lead to demand of B100 Biodiesel of approximately 3.54.5 million liters per day, or accounting for crude palm oil of 1.6 million ton per year, which is more than the previous crude palm oil demand amount which was approximately at 1 million tons per day. They also target to adjust compulsory use to be B10 within 2519 which may make palm price in the market higher. The government sectors, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives including the relevant agencies prepare to plan for allocation of palm amount to make them adequate for consumption and for energy production. Bangchak Biofuel is aware of the risk from fluctuation price of crude palm oil which is main cost for bio-diesel production. Thus, in order to reduce risk from fluctuation of amount of raw materials, it has selected more than 30 good quality and credible manufacturers as its trading partners in order to diversify risks on raw materials procurement. Additionally, it has executed a long term contract (3 years) for purchase and sales of crude palm oil with some of major suppliers with agreed amount in each contract and criteria of purchase price shall be referred to market prices of crude palm oil market. 

Risks from Dependent on Major Customers

At present, most of biodiesel products are supplied to Bangchak Petroleum Public Company Limited (“BCP”), a parent company of Bangchak Biofuel (BCP holds 70 percent of shares in Bangchak Biofuel). According to B100 Biodiesel purchase and sales contract between Bangchak Biofuel and BCP, BCP is obligated to purchase at least 60 percent of total B100 Biodiesel produced by Bangchak Biofuel for a period of 8 years (until 2017) at normal purchase price and term of conditions. The remaining portions shall be supplied to other fuel traders. Bangchak Biofuel may have risk from dependent on a major customer (BCP). However, the opportunity to lose such primary customer is very unlikely because BCP is a parent company and a founder of Bangchak Biofuel pursuant to alternative energy development project which specified that Bangchak Biofuel shall be manufacturer and supplier of B100 Biodiesel as feedstock to BCP to produce biodiesel fuel. In addition, Bangchak Biofuel is also capable to sell biodiesel products to other customers who are the major oil companies.

Energy Transformation for Future 75



Risk from Changes in Government Policy

At present, the government sectors encourage the production and usage of biodiesel instead of diesel fuel with objectives to reduce import of fuel from foreign countries, to increase energy stability and to support usage of alternative energy from plants which are domestic productivity. Many measures have been set up to assist and support the biodiesel manufacturers, for instance, support on raw materials or expansion of oil palm plantation areas; support biodiesel manufacturers pursuant to privileges and benefits of the Board of Investment (BOI); mandatory usage of biodiesel (B100) to mix with high speed diesel fuel; prescription of the referenced selling prices of biodiesel; creating biodiesel markets by using taxing measures so that retail prices of biodiesel shall be lower than diesel fuel; prescription of characteristics and quality of biodiesel to enhance confidence of consumers, as well as fixing compensation rate to be obtained from oil fund because biodiesel prices produced shall be higher than the ex-refinery price of normal diesel fuel. However in the future, if the government sectors change the policy on support of production and usage of biodiesel, biodiesel manufacturers may have been impacted and their return of the investment may be not as per estimated or it may be reduced or not worth the investment. Anyhow, the opportunity that the government sectors may revoke such biodiesel supporting policy is very rare because the alternative energy development is regarded as main energy development strategy of Thailand. This strategy can strengthen national energy stability by distributing risks and preventing energy costs of the country from solely binding with petroleum prices which consequently shall be beneficial and can contribute to sustainable growth of the country’s economy. 

Risk from Reduction of Demand of Diesel Fuel

Since biodiesel products of Bangchak Biofuel is used as mixing component with diesel fuel in various proportions, therefore, demand of biodiesel depends on usage demand of diesel fuel in the market, which depends on economic growth of the country, demand on vehicle usage, tendency on diesel fuel prices and other fuels including growth and substitution of energy usage in various forms. If demand of diesel fuel changes from the forecasted amount, it may have an impact to supply of biodiesel and income of Bangchak Biofuel. Bangchak Biofuel always follows up economic conditions, market status and trends concerning fuel and other energy industries as well as domestic demand of energy both in short term and long term, so that it can adapt itself to the changing situations which may have impact to business operations in the future. 2. Financial Risks 2.1

Risks Relating to Foreign Exchange Rates

Fluctuation of Baht against US Dollar can impact trading operation of the Company because most of the chemicals and equipment distributed by the Company have been ordered and imported from foreign countries of which most of them are denominated in US Dollar, while most of products are sold within the country and incomes are largely denominated in Baht. Therefore, the Company is exposed to fluctuation risk from exchange rates. Higher appreciation of US dollar shall increase the Energy Transformation for Future 76


UAC Global Public Company Limited

products purchasing cost of the Company. Therefore, the Company has a policy to reduce risk relating to exchange rates by entering into the currency forward contract with the financial institutes and term of such contract is approximately 1-6 months. The Company also monitors movement of foreign exchange rate closely, negotiates and denominates purchasing and selling price in foreign currency and increases revenue ratio from exporting (natural hedge), like the past year. 2.2

Fund Raising and Financial Costs

The Company engages in business of import and distribution of chemicals and equipments used in key industries, such as natural gas exploration and production industry, oil refinery, petrochemical plants, lubricant plant, polymer and plastic plant, chemical industrial plant, power plant and utilities system, and etc. In addition, the Company also expands business by investment in alternative industry, i.e. production of biogas in biodiesel plant, petroleum product plant project and other alternative energy. The objectives for investment or joint venture in such business expansion are to generate long term revenue and sustainable profit. The Company shall plan about loan and capital structure carefully and cautiously to prevent such investment impact to working capital used in normal business operations and for stably growth in the future. The Company closely monitors money market and capital market as well as develops usage of financial instrument. Therefore, the Company believes that it can raise fund by using appropriate financial cost. As the Company has to invest in the projects for future growth, so it is expected that amount of long term loan shall be increased but Debt to Equity Ratio (D/E Ratio) and Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) shall be within the frame the banks specified in the loan agreements executed with the Company.

3. Other Risks 3.1

Risks from Having Principal Shareholder who has Authority to Specify Management Policy

As at December 31, 2014, Mr. Kitti Jivacate, who holds a position of Chief Executive Director, is a principal shareholder of the Company and holds shares at approximately 54.21 percent of total issued shares of the Company which is regarded as having the majority vote to control almost resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting, as well as can control policy and management tasks in the Company, particularly on a request for resolution which require majority votes of shareholders’ meeting, except in matters that the laws or the Company’s articles of association specified that it required to have three fourth votes of the shareholders’ meeting. Therefore, other shareholders may have risk from inability to collect votes to balance the matters proposed by the principal shareholder. However, in order to make business operations of the Company transparent with balance of power, the Company has established the management structure which is responsible by the competent personnel and also specified a clearly scope of work and delegation of authority to the directors and the executives. Three independent external persons have been appointed to be the members of the Board of Directors (all of them are the Audit Committee) which is more than one thirds of total 7 directors, to audit, balance decision making including consider and approve the matters before presenting to the shareholders’ meeting. Additionally, the Company has prescribed measures on transaction with person who might have conflict of interest by restricting voting right of the Energy Transformation for Future 77

concerned person. The Company also establishes an internal audit unit by employing the expert from the third party’s company who can work independently and report directly to the Audit Committee. Main duty and responsibilities of this internal audit unit are to oversee internal control system to ensure that it complies with the specified system, in order to strengthen confidence of the shareholders with regard to transparency and balance of the management power of the Company. In addition, the Board of Directors has assigned the Risk Management Committee to prepare organization risk management manual and appointed the working group to study, monitor and review risk management plan of the Company continually.

UAC Global Public Company Limited

In 2014, net cash from operating activities of the Company was Baht 46.56 million, which derived from the operating profits with profit before income tax amounting to Baht 79.57 million. There were adjustments and changes in the operating assets, for instance, a decrease of trade and other receivables of Baht 23.33 million, a decrease of inventories of Baht 106.07 million and operating liabilities, i.e. a decrease of trade and other payables of Baht 123.93 million. Net cash used in investing activities was Baht 158.91 million, most of them were cash used in fixed assets acquisition of Baht 160.19 million, investment in subsidiaries of Baht 55.81 million and cash dividend received from the associated of Baht 56.98 million. Net cash from financing activities was Baht 111.12 million, which mainly comprised of cash received from financial lease of Baht 300 million, an increase of long-term loan of Baht 35.56 million Baht, a decrease of bank overdraft and short-term loan from the financial institutions of Baht 61.25 million, while cash dividend payout was Baht 88.67 million. Therefore, total amount of cash as at ending of 2014 was Baht 64.13 million. Liquidity Ratio In 2013-2014, liquidity of the Company was increased with liquidity ratio equaled to 1.00 time and 1.04 time, respectively which was due to liquidity of current assets, such as inventories. At the same time, current liabilities were decreased due to the decrease of bank overdraft and short-term loan from financial institutions including trade and other payables. In 2013-2014, cash cycle was 49.22 days and 42.13 days respectively, which decreased from 2013 because average collection period of the Company in 2014 was 44.56 days, a decrease from 53.84 days in 2013. Average inventory conversion period in 2014 was 48.20 days, which decreased from 51.53 days in 2013. While, at the same time, average payment period in 2014 was 50.63 days, which decreased from 56.15 day in 2013. Financial Policy Ratio For the year ended 2013-2014, total debt to equity ratio was 0.81 time and 0.94 time respectively. Such increase of debt to equity ratio in 2014 was the results of an increase of current liabilities for business operation and an increase of long-term loan for expansion of investment of previous year’s businesses. At the same time, shareholders’ equity of the Company was decreased due to dividend payout and allowance for legal reserve, so when compared total liabilities with shareholders’ equity, such ratio was still higher.

Auditor’s Remuneration In 2013-2014, the Company paid remuneration to the auditor at Baht 920,000 and Baht 920,000 respectively, without any additional remuneration payment.
