Message from the Chairman

The love and devotion that the Thai people showed on the auspicious day to commemorate His Majesty the King没s 60th year accession to the throne was overwhelming and powerful. It was the opportunity for Thais to express the delight and thankfulness for being his subjects. Amid the winds of changes in the society and heightened divisiveness, the peace and happiness that characterize Thai ways of life would resume if we live by His Majesty没s Sufficiency Economy policy, and to think, talk, and treat each other with kindness. All of this wil lead us to sustainable development. Energy situation wil continue to be an urgent matter that requires extensive cooperation. Statistics shows that energy consumption has risen while energy prices continue to soar. This means the country has to spend a large sum of money purchasing fuel for electricity generation. The solution that both the public and the private sectors seriously adopted last year was the use of alternative energy sources like Bio-Diesel fuel, Natural Gas for Vehicles (NGV) and the use of recyclable energy sources for electricity production. This was done along with campaigns for the private sector to help conserve energy and efficiently use

energy to stabilize the national supply system. The energy development requires appropriate planning and management as well as natural resource conservation to maintain the ecological balance which wil help mitigate the effect of global warming in the long run so that all of us can live happily together. We, the Electricity Generating PCL, stil continue to grow our business in a way that wil not harm the environment. Last year, the Company has successfully acquires shares in BLCP power plant, which uses coal as fuel. We also entered into the tariff MoU with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand to purchase power from the Nam Theun 1 hydroelectric power project located in the Lao PDR. These two projects support the fuel diversification policy to promote energy stability for Thailand. EGCO没s operating performance in 2006 was outstanding. The Company posted a net profit of 6,036 mil ion baht or 11.46 baht per share. EGCO paid the interim dividend from the first half year operation at 2 baht per share. We are confident that we wil continuously enhancing our performance. The Company is well aware that our success is attributed to the support from various concerned parties such as our employees, our shareholders, our customers, our business partners and the society at large. Because of this, we wil adhere to our guiding principles to conduct our business in an ethical and responsible way to avoid the negative impacts from our operation and to provide the benefits to all stakeholders. This business conduct includes the equitable treatment to our employees, transparency for our shareholders, trustworthiness for our customers and friendliness to the environment. Our commitment is honored by various institutions. The Banking and Finance Magazine and the Stock Exchange of Thailand awarded us the best corporate governance report for three consecutive years from 2004-2006. The Securities and Exchange Commission, Thailand, also appraised the quality of EGCO shareholders没 annual general meeting at 97.44 points.

Only the President or the assigned staff member is authorized to disclose such information. - Directors and employees must not buy or sell shares while in possession of information, which, if disclosed publicly, would be likely materially to affect the price of the companyรปs shares. The Company has set the policy in the Code of Conduct for Directors and Employees to avoid the conflicts between the personal interest and the corporate interest as follows. - Directors and employees shall not be engaged as directors or advisors of other companies, organizations, and associations that may conflict with the interest and the business of the company. Acknowledgment by the Board of Directors must be sought before taking such engagement. - Directors will promptly notify the Board when any of the conflict of interest occurs and must consider whether to refrain from participating in the debate and/or voting on the matter, whether to be absent from discussion of the matter, whether to arrange that the relevant board papers are not sent, or, in an extreme case, whether to resign from the Board. - The list of major shareholders is disclosed.

8. Code of Conduct To maintain high ethical standards, the Company has set up a Code of Conduct as a guideline so that the Company没 directors, Management team and employees perform their duties with regard to ethical values. The Code of Conduct covers guiding principles, making the system work, compliance with laws and regulations, business ethics, human resources, safety, health and environment and accountability. The Company continuously provides the training program to the employees as well as clarification on frequently asked questions. Directors, management and employees must obey and respect the spirit of the Code of Conduct. Managers at all levels are required to promote the compliance with the Code of Conduct and act as role models.

9. Balance of Power by Non-Executive Directors Currently, the Board comprises 14 directors which the Board viewed that it is a suitable number to oversee the business. With the President as the only executive director, the other 13 are outside directors which accounts for 93% of the Board members. From these outside directors, 5 are qualified as the independent directors which accounts for 36% of the total directors. This ensures that the balance of power is appropriate and the directors can independently represent the best interests of shareholders. The Board has the significant responsibility to conduct the business upon the interest of the Company, shareholders and stakeholders including employees and the community where the Company runs its business. The Board sets the vision, policy including the budget for the Company没s business together with the Management in order that the business plan will be mutually agreed.

Moreover, the Company defined the qualifications of independent directors to be above the minimum requirements set by SET by setting the maximum shareholding by each independent director in the Company at not exceeding 2%. Independent directors agreed to hold executive sessions twice a year to discuss significant issues of the company without the attendant of the Management. Details of the discussions were reported to the Board and the Management for acknowledgement.

10. Aggregation or Segregation of Duties To ensure clear duties and responsibilities, the Company has set the policy that the Chairman is a non-executive director, is not the same person as the President and has no relations with the Management. His authorities are separate from those of the president, and there is a clear distinction between supervisory policy-making and day-to-day business administrative roles. The Chairman takes the role of the leader and assures that the Boardûs meetings are conducted efficiently by encouraging involvement by all directors and providing recommendations to Management via the President. The Board wil not intervene with any routine activities under the Presidentûs responsibilities.

11. Remuneration for Directors The Company set the directorsû remuneration at the appropriate rate which is comparable to that of the leading companies in the same sector. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee shall propose the directorsû remuneration for endorsement by the Board and approval by the Shareholdersû meeting. The Company has a policy to disclose the remuneration of each director for transparency. Directors that also serve as committee members will be entitled to extra remuneration to match the increase in responsibilities. The non-executive directors appraise the Presidentûs performance annually in accordance with the established corporate goal including the person competencies and the remuneration of peer companies. The Chairman of the Board wil communicate the result to the President. The President will consider the remuneration of top executives and will propose to the Nomination and Remuneration Committee for approval. Remuneration is determined to be linked with the corporate and individual achievement. The Company periodically conducts the survey of the executive remuneration to ensure that the rate is comparable to that of the peer companies and adequate to attract and motivate the qualified executives. The remuneration of directors and management is disclosed under the topic of shareholding and management structure in this annual report.

12. Board Meeting To ensure that the Board takes full responsibility to meet the expectation of the shareholders, the Board establishes significant business policy and corporate calendar.

Extra Meeting can be called if there is any major unplanned event that needs the Boardûs consideration. The Board can also authorize the Committees to scrutinize or approve the managementûs activities within the delegated authority during the meeting interval. The Board also instructed the management to provide monthly performance report. To facilitate the directors, the Company plans the meeting dates and the agenda for the whole year in advance. The Chairman and President fixes the agenda for the Boardûs meeting. Each director can propose the agenda to the Chairman and can deliver their independent judgment. The Corporate Secretary delivers the notice, agenda, and meeting document to the directors for consideration well in advance. Agenda is prioritized in terms of significance i.e., Matter Arising, Matter for Consideration, Matter for Information to ensure that items that need the most careful deliberation are given adequate time. The Chairman allocates adequate time for the management to present their issues and to permit directors to conduct extensive discussion of agenda items and other topics of interest. The minutes of meeting are draft for the Boardûs review within 14 days after the meeting prior to the adoption at the next meeting.

Conclusion of Significant Changes EGCO and the Group companies are successful in conducting its business with good operating performance. During the year, there was no disabling injury occurring in a company that EGCO was a major shareholder. The major activity during the year is the acquisition of shares in BLCP Power Company Limited (çBLCPé). BLCP was incorporated on September 30, 1997. BLCPûs major shareholders included the CLP Holdings Limited Group and the Banpu Public Company Limited Group, each holding a 50 % stake in the company. BLCP entered into the PPA with EGAT under the IPP Program by constructing two coal-fired power plants, locating in Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate in Rayong. The BLCP Power Plant Project had an installed capacity of 717 MW per unit, totaling 1,434 MW for the Project. The scheduled commercial operation dates (çSCODé) of Unit 1 and Unit 2 were on October 1, 2006 and February 1, 2007, respectively. The term of the PPA was 25 years from the SCOD of Unit 2, and would expire in the Year 2032. Unit 1 of BLCP Power Plant Project had passed the relevant tests as required by EGAT and began to distributing electricity to EGAT since mid of August 2006. BLCP imported high quality coal to be used as the primary fuel of the plant. It entered into the Coal Supply & Transportation Agreement (çCSTAé) with a term of 25 years with Australian Coal Holdings Pty Ltd. (çACHé) from Australia. EGCO entered into the agreement to purchase 50% of the total common shares of BLCP from CLP Power (BLCP) Limited (çCLP-BLCPé) and two individual shareholders, namely, Mr. James Richarde Truscott and Mr. Mark Takahashi at the price of 6,645 mil ion baht. Since such transaction was considered a connected one, EGCO sought the approval from the shareholders in the Extraordinary General Meeting no. 1/2006 on December 1, 2006. The benefits of the transaction were as follows. Investing in BLCP increased the Companyûs market shares in the domestic power generation and distribution business; Investing in BLCP increased the Companyûs revenue and profitability from investing in the BLCP Power Plant Project; Investing in BLCP helped to increase the Companyûs experience in operating and maintaining coal-fired power plants and diversify source of fuel; Investing in BLCP allowed the Companyûs to participate in an IPP project which was nearly fully complete and had already commenced operation of its first unit ahead of schedule, thus substantially reducing pre-operating risk and allowing the Companyûs to realize revenue from investment immediately.

Revenue Structure of EGCO and Subsidiaries

Thai Economy 2006

In 2006, the Thai economy improved slightly from the previous year. The satisfactory expansion of export and the sharp slowdown in import resulted in a surplus in the trade balance. The current account also reverted back into surplus thanks primarily to the improvement of service balance, income account, and transfer payments. However, domestic demand slowed down from the previous year as private investment and import value decelerated, while the consumption index rose slightly. Production in the agricultural sector expanded considerably because of the continuous rise in prices, but a slowdown occurred in the manufacturing sector as a result of persistently high oil prices and declining domestic demand. Private consumption index expanded 1.3 percent in 2006, an increase from 0.6 percent in the previous year. Meanwhile, the other private consumption indicators slowed down due to the rise in inflation and interest rates which increased caution in consumers没 spending. Trade balance reverted from a deficit of USD 8.5 billion in the previous year to a surplus of USD 2.2 billion. Export rose by 17.4 percent thanks primarily to the technology intensive industries. Meanwhile, import expanded 7.0 percent, a deceleration from last year as a result of declining domestic demand. The service balance, income account, and transfer payments registered a surplus of USD 1.0 billion, an increase from the previous year due to tourism revenue. Headline and core inflation for 2006 stood at 4.7 percent and 2.3 percent, a rise from 4.5 percent and 1.6 percent in 2005, respectively. Money supply in the first half of 2006, commercial bank deposits grew due to competitive hikes in interest rates to maintain customer base. However, in the second half of 2006 commercial bank deposits slowed down in line with the decline in competition. Commercial bank credit slowed down for the whole year of 2006. Money market interest rates during the first half of 2006, short-term money market rates rose in line with the rising policy rate and stood at a stable level from mid-2006 onward. The 1-day repurchase rate and the overnight interbank rate averaged 4.64 and 4.69 percent per annum, respectively, higher than the previous year. Exchange rate in 2006, the baht averaged 37.93 baht per U.S. dollar, a sharp appreciation from 40.29 baht per U.S. dollar in 2005. The baht was in a rising trend throughout 2006.

Thailandûs Economic Trend in 2007

In 2007, it is expected that a slowdown of the world economy and the baht appreciation will have an adverse impact on exports in agricultural and industrial products. The service sector is anticipated to expand continuously on account of increasing number of foreign tourists. Private consumption and domestic investment will likely benefit from growth in construction and business sectors.

Positive Factors 1. Average oil price is likely to be more stable in 2007. This will in turn boost business competitiveness and confidence which should lead to increases in production. 2. Inflationûs declining trend wil lead to higher purchasing power and consumer confidence. 3. Interest rates have been more stable and shown a clearer trend which will enable the business sector and consumers to better estimate their financing cost.

Risk factors External factors A slowdown of the world economy in 2007 may impact exports and tourism. The world economy has continued its downward trend since the latter half of 2006. The U.S. adopted the tightening monetary policy over the past two years by raising interest rates to help ease inflationary pressure and a current account deficit. Consequently, household consumption has slowed down and investment in the real estate sector declined but the U.S. current account deficit stil grew larger. The Chinese economy also showed a slowdown in 2006 as a result of rising interest rates and limited credit expansion to cool down overheated investment. Internal factors associated with the economic prospect are as follows: 1. A recovery of private investment is still uncertain. It is expected that some investors will postpone their decisions until after the next general election in Thailand. As for foreign investors, they will wait for the amendment of Alien Business Act to be completed; the focus will be on foreign shareholdersû voting rights and equity ownership as well as the opening up of some sectors which were previously under control of Thais only. In addition, production costs have risen somewhat following a minimum wage raise. The approved projects from the Board of Investment (BOI) declined in the year 2006. These are leading indicators that investment in 2007 may not be able to fully recover. 2. Agricultural productsû prices, particularly prices of rubber, corn and paddy, have weakened and will adversely affect farmersû income. 3. Adjustment is expected in the export-oriented production sector which is facing more stringent trade measures since the beginning of 2007 as the U.S. will not allow the Generalized Systems of Preferences (GSP) to resume for Thailandûs export of jewelry and precious stone, and television.

Power Industry and Competition

The peak demand in 2006 was on May 4, 2006 at 21,064 MW, marking an increase of 526 MW or 2.56% from the previous year (figure 1). The actual figure was lower than the load forecast. The total electricity generation was 142,112.18 mil ion kWh, increased by 7,219 million kWh or 5.35% from the previous year (figure 2). As of December 31, 2006, the total installed capacity of Thailandûs power system was 27,107.20 MW of which approximately 15,794.56 MW, 8,610.34 MW, 2,062.30 MW representing 58.37%, 31.76% and 7.61% of the total capacity was owned by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (çEGATé), Independent Power Producers (çIPPé), and Small Power Producers (çSPPé). The balance of 640 MW or 2.36% of the total capacity was imported from Laos and Malaysia. Due to the economic slowdown, higher electricity tariff rate and the governmentûs successful energy-saving measures, the actual electricity demand became lower than the underling load forecast of the Power Development Plant (çPDPé) issued in 2004. Therefore, EGAT was in the progress of revising the PPD with an updated load forecast. Following the coup dûetat in September 2006 and the resignation of the Electricity Regulatory Board in October, the Ministry of Energy was developing a new regulatory framework for the Electricity and the Natural Gas Supply Industries. During the transition period, electricity tariff, load Forecast, PDP, and IPP Bidding is under the responsibility of the National Energy Policy Council (çNEPCé). It is expected that the next round IPP Bidding will be launched around the second quarter of 2007. Furthermore, with the support of the Ministry of Energy to encourage more competition to optimize consumer benefits, EGAT subsidiaries are allowed to participate in the new bidding. It is likely that the portion of coal fuel will increase to create more balance in fuel diversification of power generation in the country. Several private IPP companies are willing to participate in the new IPP Bidding program such as Ratchaburi Electricity Generating Holding PCL., Glow Energy Public Company, and Independent Power (Thailand) Company Limited which wil lead to strong competition for the upcoming IPP biding which will benefit the country. EGCO has developed our experience and expertise with our strong financial position to participate and maximize our competitive advantages in this round of bidding.

Management Discussion and Analysis 1. Executive Summary The Electricity Generating Public Company Limited (çEGCOé) is an Independent Power Producer (çIPPé) with 13 operating plants totaling 3,133.6 equity MW after the completion of share payment and share transfer for the acquisition of a 50% stake in BLCP, a 1,434 MW coal-fired power plant, from CLP Power (çBLCPé) Ltd. on January 30, 2007. EGCO Groupûs consolidated net profit for 2006, ended December 31, 2006, was Baht 6,036 million, an increase of Baht 1,943 million or 48% compared to 2005. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, the net profit was Baht 5,270 million, representing an increase of Baht 892 million or 20% as compared to the previous year. The details of net profit (before FX) are as follows: EGCOûs net loss of Baht 165 million, representing a decrease in net profit of Baht 169 million, resulted from a drop in income by Baht 85 mil ion, mostly from lower dividend income and other income, plus higher administrative expenses of Baht 84 million mostly from historical development cost of Nam Theun 1. IPP Group, consisting of Rayong Electricity Generating Co., Ltd. (çREGCOé) and Khanom Electricity Generating Co., Ltd. (çKEGCOé), showed a net profit for both companies of Baht 4,928 mil ion, up Baht 720 million thanks to higher sales of electricity. Small Power Producer (çSPPé) Group, which is comprised of five companies including Gulf Electric Public Company Limited (çGECé), Amata-EGCO Power Ltd. (çAEPé), Amata Power (Bang Pakong) Ltd. (çAPBPé), TLP Cogeneration Co., Ltd. (çTLP Cogené) and Roi-Et Green Co., Ltd. (çRoi-Et Greené), reported a net profit of Baht 126 mil ion, a decrease of Baht 173 mil ion which resulted primarily from an increase in GECûs cost of sales, administrative expenses and interest expenses. Overseas Group refers to the Conal Holdings Corporation (çConalé) and Nam Theun 2 Power Co., Ltd. 94

3/29/07 10:04:06 PM

(çNTPCé). The net profit from this group was Baht 119 million, up by Baht 423 million mainly resulting from NTPCûs recording of net loss of Baht 29 million in 2006 whilst it reported net loss of Baht 455 million in 2005, mostly from development expenses of Baht 280 million. Other Business Group includes two subsidiaries, EGCO Engineering & Service Co., Ltd. (çESCOé) and Egcom Tara Co., Ltd. (çETé) from which net profit totaled Baht 262 million, an increase of Baht 91 million due mostly to higher service income from ESCO.

2. Business Expansion Analysis EGCO was the first IPP in Thailand established in 1992. EGCO is structured as a holding company with a number of subsidiaries. The Companyûs vision is to be the leading Thai integrated electric power company with comprehensive energy services in Thailand and in the ASEAN region, and full commitment to environmental protection and social development. Our major business is to produce electricity and supply it to Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (çEGATé) under long-term power purchase agreements (çPPAé). EGCO focuses its investment on pursuing opportunities in power generation in Thailand and also seeks to expand its business in ASEAN countries with the aim to provide strong returns to shareholders by improving the profitability of our existing assets and acquiring new projects with acceptable risk and return profiles. As at the end of December 2006, Thailandûs total generating capacity was reported at 27,107 MW1 , of which 10.24% was attributable by EGCO. During the year 2006, the peak demand reached 21,064 MW1 in May, which was 2.56% higher than the peak demand in April 2005. Due to the economic slowdown, higher electricity tariff and the governmentûs successful energy-saving measures, the actual electricity demand becomes lower than the forecast that Thailand Load Forecast Subcommittee announced in 2004. Therefore, the Power Development Plan for 2007-2021 is in the process of revision. The next round of IPP Bidding is scheduled to be launched in 2007. EGCO has already undertaken extensive preparation works in anticipation of this opportunity. From February 1,2007, EGCO has 13 operating plants with capacity totaling 3,133.6 equity MW, of which 66% is comprised of two natural gas-fired IPPs which are the 1,232 MW REGCO plant and the 824 MW KEGCO plant. Moreover, on January 30, 2007, EGCO completed the acquisition of 50% of the BLCP Power facility, a 1,434 MW coalfired power plant situated in Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate in Rayong Province. The BLCP facility uses high quality imported coal from Australia. The shares in BLCP were acquired from CLP Power (BLCP) Ltd., a subsidiary of CLP Holdings Limited. As a result, EGCO has acquired 717 equity MW representing 23% of the companyûs total equity MW portfolio. The first unit achieved commercial operation on October 1,2006 and the second unit on February 1,2007. In addition to the operating assets, EGCO is a partner in three additional power plant projects that are under development. These projects represent an additional 1,010 equity MW. Each is summarized briefly below: 1. The Kaeng Khoi 2 (çKK2é) project, a 1,468 MW natural gas-fired power plant located in Saraburi Province. EGCO has a 50% stake in this project by holding 50% of shares in GEC, which owns 99.99% of Gulf Power Generation Co., Ltd. (çGPGé), the KK2 project company. The commercial operation dates (çCODé) for units 1 and 2, each with the capacity of 734 MW, are scheduled to occur in March 2007 and March 2008, respectively. Currently, the overall progress for this project is 93%. 2. The Nam Theun 2 project is a 1,070 MW hydroelectric power plant situated in the Lao PDR. EGCO holds a 25% ownership stake in the project company, NTPC. This projectûs COD is targeted for December 2009 with EGAT 1

contracted to take off 995 MW and the balance to be sold to the Lao PDR. At the end of the year 2006, the overall project progress was 39% complete. 3. The Amata Power Bang Pakong Expansion (çAPBP-Expansioné) Project, a 55 MW combined cycle gas turbine power plant supplying industrial users in Amata Nakorn Industrial Park. EGCO has a 15% stake in this project by holding 50% of shares in EGCO Joint Ventures and Development Co.,Ltd (çEGCO JDé), which owns 30% of APBP. EGCOûs partner in EGCO JD is Chevron Bang Pakong Power Holding Ltd., which is a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation of the USA. This project has been in construction since June 2005 and the COD is scheduled for the 1s t quarter of 2007. Presently, the project is 96% complete. In the absence of unforeseen circumstances, the company has a policy to dividend approximately 40% of the net profit after taxation, or to increase the dividend amount in a steady manner, to the shareholders. This dividend policy may change in the light of investment opportunities that may become available to the company or as a result of other economic or financial factors or when a dividend payment may have a significant impact on the normal operation of the company.

3. Report and Analysis of the Operating Results EGCO is structured as a holding company and it invests primarily in electricity generation and energy service businesses. The main sources of its income are dividends from investments in its subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates. The objective of the holding company structure is to provide flexibility for business expansion and to facilitate financing of new projects without recourse to existing ones. During the third quarter of 2005, NTPC has commenced the construction of the power plant in the Lao PDR and EGCO has entered into the agreement to provide credit support in the form of Standby Letters of Credit (çSBLCé) for its agreed equity commitments to NTPC of USD 94 million. Accordingly, investment in NTPC has been accounted for under the proportionate consolidation method in the consolidated financial statements since the third quarter of 2005 because its financial statements were material to EGCO Group. This report contains the analysis of the financial statements of EGCO and its subsidiaries as follows:

3.1 Operational Results EGCO Groupûs consolidated net profit for 2006 ending December 31, 2006 was Baht 6,036 million, an increase of Baht 1,943 mil ion or 48% compared to 2005. The gross profit was reported at Baht 9,060 million, up Baht 1,189 million or 15% as compared to 2005 as a result of higher electricity sales of REGCO and KEGCO. The operating profit was reported at Baht 9,158 mil ion, an increase of Baht 2,494 million or 37% as compared to 2005. This was thanks to higher electricity sales, gain on foreign exchange rates following the Baht appreciation and higher interest income that resulted from higher interest rates.

The EGCO Groupûs 2006 net profit included foreign exchange gain of Baht 766 million whereas it incurred a foreign exchange loss of Baht 285 million for 2005. An unrealized foreign currency exchange gain in the amount of Baht 691 million is an accounting number in accordance with the Thai accounting standard. It incurs from the difference of the translation of the net debt denominated in foreign currency to the Thai Baht equivalent amount using the foreign exchange rate at the end of this accounting period (December 31, 2006) and the previous period (December 31, 2005). Excluding the effect of foreign currency exchange gain, the profit was Baht 5,270 million, representing an increase of Baht 892 million or 20% as compared to 2005. Excluding the effect of foreign currency exchange gain of Baht 766 million, interest expenses of Baht 1,557 mil ion, income tax of Baht 1,277 million and depreciation and amortization of Baht 2,806 million, the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (çEBITDAé) would be Baht 10,910 million, representing an increase of Baht 1,130 mil ion or 12% as compared to 2005, in which the EBITDA was Baht 9,780 million, excluding the effect of foreign currency exchange loss of Baht 285 million, interest expenses of Baht 1,859 million, income tax amounting to Baht 475 million and depreciation and amortization amounting to Baht 3,067 million. Important Financial Ratios for the period were as follows; - Gross Profit Ratio was 50.28% - Operating Profit Ratio was 50.82% - Net Profit Ratio was 31.66% - Net Profit Ratio (excluding the effect of foreign exchange) was 27.64% - Earnings per share (çEPSé) was Baht 11.46 - Earnings (excluding the effect of foreign exchange) per share (EPS) was Baht 10.01 - Return on Equity (çROEé) was 18.17% The gross profit margin of 50.28% was slightly higher than last yearûs margin of 49.13%. The net profit ratio (excluding the effect of foreign exchange) was reported at 27.64%, higher than the 2005 ratio of 25.98% mainly due to an increase of REGCO and KEGCOûs net profit as well as a decrease of NTPCûs expenses.

3.2 Income and Expenses Analysis The 2006 total revenues of EGCO, its subsidiaries and joint ventures as well as the share of profits from its associates and interests in joint ventures (excluding the effect of foreign currency exchange rate and profit attributable to minorities) were Baht 19,067 million, an increase of Baht 2,214 million or 13% compared to 2005. The 2006 total expenses of EGCO, its subsidiaries and joint ventures were Baht 13,466 million, an increase of Baht 1,254 million or 10% from last year.

Sales of electricity of IPP Group were Baht 10,665 million, representing an increase of Baht 1,287 million or 14% compared to last year. The increase was a result of a growth in REGCOûs electricity sales of Baht 353 million to be Baht 5,392 mil ion and KEGCOûs electricity sales of Baht 934 million to be Baht 5,273 million. These increases were caused by an increase in the Capacity Rate for REGCO and the Base Availability Credit for KEGCO which was in accordance with the capacity payment formula calculated on a çCost Plus Basisé under the PPAs and in line with the companyûs projection. 98

The PPAs cover the full amount of the projected fixed costs, debt financing charges and major maintenance charges, which are used in calculating the electricity tariffs for each period. Moreover, the calculation of the capacity payment is adjusted to include compensation for the exchange rate effect from debt services and expenses of major maintenance parts denominated in US Dollar. REGCO and KEGCO receive the compensation monthly for each billing period. They receive higher capacity charge than that stated in the original PPAs before the inclusion of foreign exchange indexation if the exchange rate is above Baht 28 per US Dollar and vice versa. In 2006, REGCO and KEGCO received compensation for the exchange rate effect of Baht 810 million. Interest income and others amounted to Baht 388 million, an increase of Baht 194 million or 100%, mainly from REGCOûs increased interest income in the amount of Baht 143 million. It resulted from higher amount of deposits at banks and financial institutions due to EGCOûs equity injection in REGCO, together with higher interest rates. However, the process of capital reduction of REGCO from Baht 9,220 million to Baht 4,702 million was completed in December 2006. KEGCOûs interest income increased by Baht 47 million resulting from an increase in interest rates. REGCO and KEGCOûs other revenues increased by Baht 4 million. Cost of sales totaled Baht 3,548 million, an increase of Baht 280 million or 9% compared to 2005, mainly because KEGCOûs cost of sales increased by Baht 378 million or 26% from major maintenance expenses as planned; whilst REGCOûs cost of sales decreased by Baht 98 million or 5% as compared to 2005 when the replacement of the impaired steam turbine rotor took place.

APBPûs electricity sales showed an increase in 2006 when compared to the same period of 2005 in which a physical impairment of an electricity generating equipment happened. And the increase of Roi-Et Greenûs electricity sales came from higher tariff thanks to the tariff formula that is linked to the price of fuel oil.

This increase was substantially from GECûs administrative expenses and income taxes which were higher by Baht 126 million, totaling Baht 462 million, that resulted mainly from prepayment fee and debt refinancing fees at GECûs 3 subsidiaries, namely: Gulf Cogeneration Co., Ltd. (çGCCé), Nong Khae Cogeneration Co., Ltd. (çNKCCé), and Samutprakarn Cogeneration Co., Ltd. (çSCCé).

1) Cash and deposits at financial institutions, and short term and long term marketable securities were Baht 9,633 mil ion or 13% of the total assets, down Baht 2,780 million or 22%. This resulted mainly from a decrease of cash and cash equivalent by Baht 2,972 million due to EGCO没s advance payment of Baht 2 billion to CLP Power (BLCP) Ltd, a subsidiary of CLP Holdings Limited, for the subscription of newly issued BLCP shares, along with REGCO没s prepayment of its remaining balance of US Institutional Loans totaling USD 78 million (equivalent to Baht 3,222 million). On the other hand, there was an increase of Baht 99 million in deposits at financial institutions and short-term marketable securities, and an increase of Baht 93 mil ion in long-term investments in marketable securities. 2) Short-term and long-term investments used as collateral were Baht 4,466 million or 6% of the total assets, down Baht 10 mil ion or 0.21%. This decrease was mainly because cash reserve is no longer required at REGCO after the payment of all its debt.

On the other hand, there was additional loan drawdown by GEC in the amount of Baht 9,208 million, NTPC in the amount of Baht 1,523 mil ion and APBP in the amount of Baht 128 million, plus GCCûs debenture issuance of Baht 2,900 million. In 2006, the analysis of the Companyûs liquidity ratios is as follows: - Current ratio was 1.69 times, lower than 2.27 times for 2005 - Quick ratio was 1.27 times, lower than 1.79 times for 2005 Both liquidity ratios were lower compared to 2005, mostly as a result of the recording of the connected transaction for the acquisition of shares in BLCP as amounts due to a related party, CLP Power (BLCP) Ltd., of Baht 4,645 mil ion, which was paid to CLP Power (BLCP) Ltd. in 2007. The fall in the ratios was partially offset by a decrease in the long-term loans maturing within one year that resulted from REGCOûs prepayment of its outstanding US Institutional Loans. 105

Risk Factors

To create long term shareholders' value, EGCO recognizes the importance of properly analyzing and managing its business risks. The Board of Directors then set the risk management policy which was published in the Risk Management Manual to promote understanding among the Group employees and to ensure the uniform risk management of the Group. Such policy requires that each subsidiary continuously manages their risks as well as set up the early warning systems. For new investment projects, risk analysis and associated mitigation measures are required to be submitted to responsible committee for consideration. In 2006, the Board of Directors reviewed the risk management policy and entrusted the Audit Committee to oversee and monitor the Company's risk management performance. Risk Management Committees at Management level have also been established at EGCO and its subsidiaries. A summary of key risk factors and associated mitigation measures is as follows:

1. Investment Risk 1.1 Investment in New Projects Since there was more clarity about EGCO's eligibility to participate in the upcoming Independent Power Producer (IPP) bidding, EGCO analyzed risk factors relating to the new bidding as follows: Strong Competition: In order to be well prepared for the upcoming bidding, EGCO conducted the study on the project feasibility and return. The engineering design, construction sites, water and fuel resources, competent staff as well as competitive financial costs were also prepared for the bidding. Community Acceptance: To mitigate the risk that the community might not welcome the new projects, the Company performed the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and analyzed the actual community needs to set proactive measures to reduce community dissatisfaction and impacts on the environment.

1.2 Project Construction Delay and Cost Overrun The assets under construction were Nam Theun 2 and Khang Khoi 2 projects, which were awarded the longterm EGAT Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with fixed scheduled commercial operation dates (SCOD). Failure to meet the SCODs would result in the penalty payment to EGAT. In addition, there might be cost overrun which would affect the return on investment. The Company then set the following measures to mitigate those risks. Endeavor to ensure that the contracts have clear and definite conditions and pricing and that the selection process was well established to ensure that qualified and experienced contractors are engaged; Assign responsible unit to follow up construction progress, and to attend the project meetings to share comments and provide instructions; and Present regular reports on the project progress against the budget to the Management and the Board of Directors.

1.3 Failure to Meet Targeted Return on Investment With the responsibility to ensure that our investment would generate the expected return, EGCO set up the measures to mitigate the risks that would lead to the failure to meet the targeted return on investment as follows:

106

50-01-050 eng 106-109_J.indd 106

3/29/07 10:04:33 PM

Set up the Asset Management Policy and assign EGCO senior management to be directors or management in subsidiaries and new investment projects; Establish Asset Management and Planning Group to monitor operating performances and to analyze the actual return on investment against the preset targets of the invested companies.

1.4 Regulatory and Policy Change There was an exposure that Government's new or changing regulations and policies would affect our business plan. To mitigate this risk, the responsible unit was assigned to monitor relating rules, regulations and policies, and analyze possible impacts on the Company as well as to seek outside professional advices in order that EGCO could respond to new regulations and policies appropriately.

1.5 Country Risks The Company has invested in the electricity companies in the Philippines and the Lao PDR. Being aware of the impact from the country risks, EGCO assigned responsible unit to monitor political and economic circumstances in the invested countries. The progress report was made on a regular basis.

2. Operational Risks 2.1 Plant Efficiency There were various efficiency benchmarks under the EGAT PPA which EGCO's power plants had to meet such as Equivalent Availability Factor (EAF) and Heat Rates. Since failure to meet these benchmark requirements would result in penalties, the management set up systematic procedures to ensure that these targets for operational efficiency were met which included the followings. Inclusion of key plant parameters in the Corporate Key Performance Indicators of power plants in the EGCO group; Establishment of Early Warning System for significant information relating to electricity generating process; Ensuring that the scheduled preventive maintenance of power plant equipments are carried out on a regular and professional basis; Implementing the Quality Management System (ISO: 9001:2000) to ensure that those power plants operate continually and efficiently.

2.2 Safety, Health and Environment The Company realized that the electricity generating process might affect the safety and life quality of the employees and neighboring communities. Consequently, the Company took following risk mitigation measures: Operate and manage in accordance with the Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) Management Manual of EGCO group companies; Procure insurance policies against All Risks, Machinery Breakdown, Business Interruption and Third Party Liability to ensure sufficient coverage in the case of unexpected events; Maintain the Environment Management System (ISO: 14001) and Thai Industrial Standards for the Occupational Health and Safety Management (TIS: 18001 & OHSAS: 18001) to ensure that the operations, waste disposal and related work processes are efficient and acceptable from a safety, health, and environment standpoint. 107

3/29/07 10:04:34 PM

2.3 Dependence on Sole Major Customer The revenue from electricity generation to EGAT under the long term PPA accounted for 89 % of the total revenue in 2006. Normally, dependence on only one major customer might put the Company's revenue at risk. However, EGAT's mission was to stabilize the national supply system. In addition, it had good reputation and strong financial status. Therefore, EGCO's risk in this area was considered low.

2.4 Non-Compliance with Power Purchase Agreement of Small Power Producers (SPPs) The SPP PPA between EGAT and EGCO's subsidiaries required that the SPPs sell steam to the industrial users with the thermal energy not less than 10% of the total energy output. Failure to achieve this would result in the penalty payment to EGAT. Even though the financial impact on EGCO would be little, the management has set up a working team to study and analyze this matter to solve the problem.

2.5 Raw Water Shortage Without adequate raw water, power plants could not be run resulting in the revenue loss and penalty payment. To mitigate this risk, EGCO Groups' power plants has developed the countermeasures by increasing raw water storage capacity, seeking additional sources and setting measures to optimize raw water usage in order to maintain sufficient water for continuous production process.

2.6 Fuel Shortage Gas fired power plants in EGCO Group had long term Fuel Supply Agreements with PTT. For REGCO and KEGCO, natural gas has been supplied by EGAT under the PPA. Therefore, the risk of fuel shortage for gas fired power plant was low. Biomass power plants which used rice husk and parawood as fuel might expose to the risk of volatile pricing and supply as long term fuel supply agreements could not be secured. The primary risk prevention measures then are to reserve more fuel and to identify more suppliers in the power plant's radius.

3. Financial Risks 3.1 Foreign Exchange Rate Fluctuation EGCO Group had a policy to mitigate currency mismatches for each investment projects to prudent levels. In general, this was achieved by matching currencies of project development and construction costs with funding source currencies and subsequently matching the currency of long-term funding profiles with those of each project's revenue stream during the operation phase.

3.2 Interest Rate Fluctuations EGCO Group has a policy to manage interest rate risks by fixing the floating interest rate to the maximum extent commercial y possible to provide the most predictable cash flow from its long-term power purchase contracts. If interest rate fixtures were not available for the full project terms required, EGCO would seek to enter into or cause its project company's to enter into financial instruments that could best mitigate the interest rate risks subject to market availability and cost.

3/29/07 10:04:34 PM

3.3 Contingent Liabilities In certain cases, EGCO provides credit support for loans granted or other forms of credit granted to project development subsidiaries to reduce project cost for limited periods of time. For such cases, EGCO set procedures to minimize risks associated with such credit support as follows: An analytical assessment of each such obligation is performed and reported on a regular basis; Obligation risks are categorized into low likelihood and high likelihood. 10% of contingent liabilities had been set aside as reserve fund for high obligation risks.

3.4 Non-Compliance with Financial Covenants According to the covenants with financial institutions, EGCO had to maintain acceptable level of Debt to Equity Ratio, Debt-Service Coverage Ratio, and Tangible Net Worth. Failure to maintain such covenants would lead to lenders' decline for further drawdown or request for early repayment. By the same token, EGCO might be forced to return the standby L/C to the issued bank before its due date. However, the ability to maintain the above financial covenants depended on EGCO Group's performance including ability to acquire quality projects and efficiency in running power plants while maintaining financial disciplines. This would make EGCO Group's financial performance, cash flow and financial ratios as sound as expected.

4. Other risks 4.1 Competent Personnel Shortage The growth in power business did not result only in the high competition in the business but also intensified competition in the labor market. Being aware of the risk of losing high performers and therefore set the risk mitigation measures as follows. Establishing manpower plan for EGCO Group companies, for both existing power plants and new projects; Setting Human Resource Development Plan for each management level; Establishing development plan to continuously increase personne's technical knowledge, expertise, and skills in power plant operation

4.2 Information Technology The power plant management and new business development required the strong support from information technology. Being aware of the risk of information technology system failure and other new threats, EGCO set the countermeasures as follows. Appropriate implementation and maintenance of IT security system with regular monitoring schedule; Establishment and testing of Disaster Recovery Plan to assure that the system would be implemented to recover the situation as soon as possible and with the least adverse impact to EGCO.

Audit Committeeûs Report

The Audit Committee of the Electricity Generating Public Company Limited (the Company), appointed by the Board of Directors, is composed of three independent directors whose qualifications are in compliance with those specified by the Stock Exchange of Thailand (çSETé). The compositions, qualifications, term of office, and responsibilities of the Audit Committee are specificed in the Audit Committee Charter and approved by the Board. At the end of 2006, the Chairman of the Audit Committee was Mr. Chaipat Sahasakul, and the other two members were Mr. Chareon Prajumtan and Ms. Wattanee Phanachet. During 2006, the Audit Committee saw some changes among its members; Mr. Charu-Udom Ruangsuvan vacated his office due to the expiration of his term, and Mr. Worawit Khamkanist rotated to become a member of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Audit Committee held 20 meetings in 2006 with a 100% attendance rate.

The summary of major activities is as follows: Review the 2006 quarterly financial statements and the annual financial statements with both the external auditor and the Management. This was accomplished by asking questions and providing comments and useful recommendations to ensure that the process to prepare the financial statements and major disclosures were complete, accurate, reliable, in compliance with related laws and regulations, and in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles which were consistently applied. Review the sufficiency and effectiveness of the internal control systems. The Committee considered the internal auditorûs and the external auditorûs reports, the results of the internal control evaluation of EGCO and its subsidiaries together with the internal control questionnaires which were prepared in compliance with the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (çCOSOé)ûs guidelines. The Internal Audit Division was also requested to perform a management control audit to ensure that the Company has sufficient and appropriate procedures and practices in place to prevent and mitigate risks that might occur. Also reviewed was the transaction approval authority (and the levels thereof) to ensure compliance with policy. Review and acknowledge the Code of Conduct Compliance Statement and General Representation Letter prepared by the President as well as to review the statementsû preparation process which provided assurances to the Committee that the Companyûs operations were in compliance with the internal control systems and that the financial information and disclosures were accurate, complete and reliable. Approve the audit plan, the scope of work, the budget and the manpower of the Internal Audit Division. The Committee also conducted the performance appraisal of the internal audit manager who functionally reported to the Committee. Review with Management the Companyûs compliance procedure to ensure that the Management and operations complied with the securities and exchange laws and regulations of the SET or laws relating to the business of the Company. Review and select the external auditor and determine their remuneration for the year 2007 by considering the compliance of the selection procedure with the guidelines approved by the Committee, taking into account the qualifications of the audit firm and the auditors. In order to increase assurance that the auditor was independent, the Committee formulated a policy in conformity with the Securities and Exchange Commission (çSECé)ûs notification to rotate the Companyûs auditors every five years.

Consider other services performed by the audit firmûs group companies for EGCO and its subsidiaries during 2006. It was determined that the scope of work and fees for other services were not significant in that they would influence the independence of the auditor. Hold exclusive meeting with the external auditors to ensure their independence. Review with Management and the Independent Financial Advisor the acquisition of shares in BLCP Power Limited which was a çconnected transactioné. The Committee considered this transaction carefully for the optimum benefit to the Company and the shareholders. The acquisition price was appropriate and there were no privileges provided to CLP Group. Review the Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) with Management to ensure its accuracy, adequacy and usefulness to shareholders and investors for their investment-making decisions. Review the Audit Committee Charter to ensure that the duties entrusted to them in 2006 were achieved and complied with international practices and those specified by the SETûs Audit Committee Best Practice Guidelines, while also being appropriate for the Companyûs business. The Committee is of the opinion that the Companyûs 2006 internal control and management control systems are adequate and appropriate. All procedures were followed to ensure that the Company has conducted its business consistent with related laws and that information disclosure in the financial statements is accurate, complete and reliable. The Committee reviewed the auditorsû performance in the past year as well as the audit fee and recommended to the Board of Directors that PricewaterhouseCoopers ABAS Ltd., Mr. Suchart Luengsuraswat Certified Public Accountant (Thailand) No. 2807, Ms. Nataporn Pan-udom Certified Public Accountant (Thailand) No. 3430 and Mr.Kajornkiat Aroonpairotekul Certified Public Accountant (Thailand) No. 3445, be re-appointed by the shareholders as the Companyûs auditors for 2007 due to their professional practices, knowledge of business, fairness, independence and always discharging their duties on time.
