THAI OIL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED 2009 ANNUAL REPORT MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Amid the global financial crisis and its intense effects in 2009, Thaioil had shown its potential and readiness to overcome the obstacles for sustainable growth alongside the Thai society as an energy company with a track record of more than 48 years of experience. Thaioil and its subsidiary companies delivered solid results in 2009 with sales revenue of 284,123 baht and net profits of 12,062 baht. This outstanding performance is the outcome of the team effort of Thaioil Group staff in striving to the best of their abilities. Shaping this success was the strong commitment of management and the Board of Directors in setting the strategic direction and initiating measures to tackle the impact of the downturn on the refining industry while massive new capacities gradually came on stream. One of the initiatives that Thaioil has been driving during past years is the Operational Excellence project which aims to integrate the targets of each function and provide staff from every department the opportunity to participate in setting strategies and work plans. In the previous year, Thaioil also commenced commercial operation of several strategic projects and undertook a number of key activities. Some of these projects are: the opening of the new modern lorry loading facility which provides easy and fast operation to meet customer requirements; being the first to produce Euro IV standard gasoline, which has low sulphur content and environmentally friendly, followed by the launch of Euro IV diesel fuel for the first time in Thailand in 2008; taking over the solvent business in Vietnam, which is significant for being its first overseas office that provides the channel and foundation for expansion into the Indochina market further down the road; and the five-year 12 billion baht bond issue which obtained overwhelming support by investors. In the area of management, Thaioil embraced the principles and concept of excellence striving, which were adapted from the Thailand Quality Award framework. The objectives are to enhance sustainable competitiveness and to develop human resources in alignment with strategic goals and future business growth. At the same time, Thaioil continued with various activities under the competency development plan and individual career plan, which were integrated into the performance appraisal system and linked to the POSITIVE corporate values and strategic plan. The Board is extremely confident that these implemented principles and plans will contribute to solidify Thaioil’s position as a leading company as envisioned by the Board and its management. Besides managing the Company to accomplish its short-term performance goals, Thaioil continues to explore business opportunities and channels to capture long-term growth via strategic plans. The Company also remains committed to develop projects under these strategic plans through the implementation of management mechanisms which were specifically designed for these purposes. While caring for the business and ensuring its success is important, it is also vital to be responsible to the community’s and the environment’s interests. It has, therefore, been Thaioil’s practice for over 48 years to operate business with respect for the environment and regard for the health of the local community. And Thaioil will carry on with this practice as well as the implementation of projects and activities that benefit the public, a practice on which the foundation of long-term mutual growth is built. On behalf of Thaioil, the Board of Directors wishes to thank the shareholders, investors, customers, partners, public organizations, and domestic and international financial institutions for their kind support to Thaioil Group. The Board assures that the Company will be managed in strict compliance with the principles of transparency, ethics and good corporate governance.

THAI OIL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED 2009 ANNUAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

025

Executive Summary 2009 Highlights Strong business structure contributes to improved overall performance

The performance of Thaioil and subsidiary companies reached a very satisfactory level in fiscal year 2009 despite the economic downturn. Thaioil and subsidiary companies posted net profits of 12,062 million baht, a significant rise from 224 million baht in 2008. This was in part due to the integrated businesses management of Thaioil Group, which provided flexibility of operation, allowing maximum benefits to be realized. In view of this, Thaioil is in a position to report strong Gross Integrated Margin (GIM) of refinery, aromatics and lube base oil businesses. Competitive operating costs and additional earnings from related businesses in power generation, solvents product and marine transportation, all are solidify revenue structure of Thaioil and subsidiaries. In addition, the Company made it a priority to enhance the quality and processes of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) under the supervision of top management and the Board of Directors. The efforts were successful as it has earned ratings improvement in each year’s assessment of Thaioil Group’s ERM by the third parties. Another key priority is improving corporate governance, an area which Thaioil has been awarded a rating of “excellence” in the survey of corporate governance practices by Thai Institute of Directors (IOD) in December 2009.

Maximum utilization through integrated operational structure among the Group focusing on Operational Excellence program to cope with volatile global economy

The Operational Excellence program laid the foundation for enhancing the integration and linkage among all functions within Thaioil Group. The Operational Excellence workshops are held every quarter to communicate movements and trends in the petroleum

petochemical industries and related businesses to Thaioil Group employees. These workshops, at which ideas from employees are encouraged and will enable every unit to participate in setting strategies and work plans in order to systematically and integrally ensure production efficiency improvement, sales growth, additional profit generation and operating cost reduction. Ultimately, this will contribute to the Company’s achievement of set objectives or targets. In 2009, Thaioil established strategies and work plans to maintain competitive capabilities and operating flexibility at the highest levels in order to respond to rapidly changing market conditions, while managing to gain opportunities for new market penetration faster than other operators. This enabled Thaioil Group to maximize production at its full capacity with total integrated intake at 286,000 barrels per day or 104 million barrels per year. Thaioil was able to achieve this despite the regional refinery industry being under pressure from surplus capacity regionally which forced many refineries to reduce capacity utilization rates. Furthermore, Thaioil’s business is made up of a network linking the oil refinery, aromatics plant, lube base oil plant, solvent plant, power plant, and product tankers. This forms a solid yet flexible revenue structure that is enough to withstand the volatility of the economy and world market. Thaioil Group companies are therefore able to report gross integrated margins of US$ 6.1 per barrel (up 42%) and group EBITDA of 21,393 million baht (up 169%).

Proactive marketing strategy to maintain customer satisfaction and provide more options to the customer Thaioil Group recognizes the importance of developing the skill to forecast industrial market conditions and


026

trends, a key component in operating its oil refining and petrochemical business with optimum effectiveness. To achieve integration and linkage, the Company reorganized the Group’s commercial planning and commercial functions to be fully operated under Area Production Unit (APU), which aligns with the structure of the manufacturing functions. This overall structure enables Thaioil Group to operate at the highest flexibility in adjusting the production plan to quickly respond to changes in marketing plan which are triggered by ever-changing market conditions. Thaioil’s operating potential and capabilities were heightened in 2009 despite the economic and financial crisis impacting on the majority of corporations around the world. On the contrary, the Company saw it as a crucial period to maintain its domestic and overseas markets as well as exploring new markets in Indochina and the Middle East. One of key strategies that contributed to the success of our proactive marketing activity was the opening of the new lorry loading facility, which provides cost-effective, easy and fast loading of products onto trucks for delivery to customers. The project is consistent with the strategic target of gaining entry into new markets in Indochina because the new lorry loading facility has increased the volume of products distributed to Indochina by nearly 20%. In addition, being the first producer of high-quality EURO IV grade diesel fuel and gasoline and succeeding in expanding sales channels through the new customer base for the solvent retailed business in Thailand and Vietnam. This represents another step for Thaioil in proactive marketing strategy.

Production of high quality EURO IV grade oil products and ethanol production business which

THAI OIL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED 2009 ANNUAL REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

support the government’s policy in developing clean fuels and alternative energy to reduce pollution and enhance the quality of life of the Thai society

After producing diesel fuel to EURO IV standard for distribution to customers in 2008 which allowed us to expand the market share in Thailand. The Company developed and modified the production process to produce and market gasoline under EURO IV specification in June 2009, becoming the first refinery to meet the government’s energy policy before the deadline of 2012. In addition, this EURO IV product would not only support our customers in strategizing their retail market positions, but also contribute to the reduction of air pollution for Thai public. Thaioil group realizes the importance of alternative energy inclusive of ethanol. Our target was to expand the ethanol business through joint venture projects to produce ethanol from sugar molasses and/or cassava in support of the country’s gasohol project which will serve the government policy with respect of gasohol usage promotion. In 2009, the 200,000-liter-per-day ethanol plant managed by Maesod Clean Energy (in which Thaioil Ethanol holds a 30% shareholding) commenced commercial operation since Q1/2009.

Successful implementation of strategic plan and expansion into energy consultancy and business expansion overseas Thaioil Group’s vision is to strive to be a leading fully integrated oil refining and petrochemical company in Asia Pacific. Not only did we achieve expansion and create value added businesses under Organic Growth and Value Chain Enhancement strategies, we also made it a priority to penetrate the alternative energy business and the energy consultancy business as well as expand to overseas.

In the previous year, Thaioil Group formed Thaioil Energy Solutions Co., Ltd. (TES)* to operate a high level consultancy service in an area of energy solutions business. TES started off by providing services to PTT Group and Thaioil Group as well as general industrial customers in Thailand and abroad. Entry into a new business with high value added is an important step for Thaioil and the strategy is to make use of the core competencies of skilled and experienced personnel collected from more than 48 years of operations. The business will also promote work standard in the Thai industry. In overseas business expansion, Thaioil was successful in the acquisition of the solvent distribution operation in Vietnam in November 2009. Expanding the retail base of the solvent business to Vietnam is a key strategy in Thaioil Group’s business growth and channeling the Group’s products to Asian customers. In addition, Thaioil is uniquely positioned to offer comprehensive service to customers by utilize the new lorry loading facility and product tankers of Thaioil Marine to effectively meet logistics needs of transporting products to local and overseas markets.

Human resources management and organizational development toward a high performance organization

Apart from developing the competitive capacity and implementing business strategies, Thaioil recognizes that success depends on a qualified and competent workforce with corporate structures designed to meet business growth needs. Careful attention was therefore given to developing employees in their line of profession, promoting POSITIVE values, shaping an accepting attitude to change, developing work systems

027

and knowledge management to draw out the full potential employees. Another important component is developing effective teams and fostering teamwork. The important thing is to give 100% to the task at hand, to value work, to create for oneself work standards, and to nurture endurable relationships. Following the introduction of the performance management system, last year, Thaioil further enhanced the Individual Development Plan (IDP) that is suitable for its business conditions and corporate culture. Thaioil also created an environment for optimizing development and productivity management, which boosted employee morale and cemented their bond with the Company. This will help attract and retain talented employees, which will support Thaioil succeed in its business expansion targets.

Total Quality Management (TQM)

The development of work standards and improvement of work processes are important to the Company because they promote added value creation for Thaioil Group. Thaioil has merged quality management with continual customer and stakeholder focus to build competitive advantage. Its aim is for every function to develop systematic processes linked to the strategic mission in order to ensure that the organization works toward the established target and vision. In 2009, Thaioil submitted the TQA report and developed an intergrated management system. As a result, the Company becomes the first refinery in Thailand to be certified by Management System Certification Institute (Thailand) for its Integrated Management System (IMS).

Remark * The company’s name was changed from Thaioil Energy Company Limited to “Thaioil Energy Solutions Company Limited” in accordance with approval from the Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders no.1/2009 on December 3, 2009.

Domestic Petroleum Product Market in 2009

The global economic crisis also affected the economic growth in Thailand. The Thai economy contracted 2.8% in 2009 resulted in the slowing down product demand. Jet fuel, in particular, adjusted downward by 6% due to impact of the domestic political tension and H1N1 flu on tourism. Fuel oil demand also decreased with more power plants turning to natural gas. However, gasoline and diesel fuel consumption grew 6% and 5% respectively from 2008. This was due to the government’s policy to stabilize prices as world oil prices plunged during the beginning of the year. The LPG consumption was up 7% and additional imports were needed.

2008 and 2009 Domestic Petroleum Product Demand

Barrels/day

Feb

Crude prices dropped very low as 2009 opened with world oil demand shrinking and global oil inventories adjusting upward to reach record highs in many years. Meanwhile, concerns over the economic downturn and waning investor confidence were drawing funds away from oil and stock markets to the lower risk money market. In Q2, oil prices rebounded as the global economy showed improving prospects after fiscal stimulus packages were announced by governments around the world. Investor confidence returned and funds were moved to money and oil markets in the belief that oil prices would rise in the future and gains would be made from the investment. The rise in oil prices to the level of US$ 70 a barrel during this period was not due to fundamentals as demand was still weak (down 1.35 million barrels per day from the previous year) and inventories were high. Other factors which had impacted oil prices, such as political tension in oil-producing countries and the Atlantic hurricane season, did not have any substantial effect. The higher crude prices early in the year were due to investor speculation, pulling up the prices of petroleum products as well but at lower rates than crude prices. This was because prices of petroleum products were directly impacted by fundamentals (market demand and supply). There was little demand in the market and, therefore, the difference between crude and product prices was much lower than in 2008.

The world faced a severe economic downturn in 2009 due to the financial crisis that began in September 2008 in the United States. Numerous financial institutions worldwide suffered huge losses with several major companies around the world closing down operations or being merged. Private investment stopped or was delayed while spending and consumption contracted due to decreased consumer earnings as well as increasing unemployment rate. All these factors have impacted on investor confidence in the market and led to rapid declines in stock market indices and crude oil prices by the end of 2008 and Q1/2009. From Q2/2009, economies in a number of countries returned to growth again after global governments injected massive amounts of money into the financial system to stimulate the economy. Central banks also reduced policy interest rates to record lows. The efforts succeeded in stimulating domestic investment and consumer spending, easing concerns of economic recession and rebuilding investor confidence.

Aromatics Market in 2009

The economic crisis that spread around the world was a major contributor to the severe contraction of aromatics demand, causing the market to experience volatility in 2009. In Q1, the negative spread between benzene and feedstock prices influenced several regional plants to lower operating rates. Paraxylene demand, on the other hand, recovered quicker than expected and tightened supply, pushing prices very high up until July. However, aromatics prices swiftly fell by the end of Q3 as the market was supported by additional supply after four new plants in China and one in the Middle East came on stream and reached full capacity. Prices rose again in Q3 when feedstock supply became tight after several refineries cut down utilization capacity. In addition, there was naphtha shortage, which drove up prices of the feedstock and prompted aromatics prices to rise at the year ended.

Lube Base Oil Market in 2009

The market was heavily affected in 2009 by the economic crisis which depressed in the demand, especially in manufacturing industries of automobiles, parts, tires and related products, paints and coatings, adhesives, printing inks, and chemicals. In addition, some operators had moved their operation base overseas. Production in Thailand, though, began to recover in Q2 as orders returned. On the supply side, production in neighboring countries increased to compensate imports while demand subsided. Domestic producers were, therefore, forced to export to ease the intensely competitive prices in the local market.

The global recession which set off in the latter half of 2008 depressed the demand for lube base oils and continued until the first half of 2009. When the economy began to recover, lube base oil consumption improved in the second half. Thailand’s demand grew 4% from the level in 2008 while supply dropped, caused by the shutting down of several unprofitable plants in the US and Europe. Western demand dwindled significantly and products were moved to Asia where demand remained strong. However, transportation over a long-distance removed US and European plants from competing with Asian operators. This was how Western plants were forced to close down, raising lube base oil prices in the second half of 2009.

The freight rates for clean products and petrochemicals fluctuated in the 2009. There was not significant impact from the economic crisis in Q1 with a steady demand for tankers, particularly from China as a result of the government’s stimulus programs combined with huge petrochemical stockpiling after the New Year holidays. Subsequently, rates dropped as tanker demand fell amid the industrial slowdown. Q2 and Q3 also saw significant new tanker tonnage with supply overtaking demand and pressuring down freight rates. However, the recovering economy in Q4 results to a positive trend of the demand for clean and petrochemical tankers.

Ethanol Market in 2009

In 2009, there were 17 new domestic ethanol plants (total capacity of 2.6 million liters per day) while demand rose to 12.2 million liters per day, from 9.3 million liters per day in 2008, due to the government’s supportive policy. However, in Q3 and Q4, supply was tight because of the high price and limited volume of molasses, feedstock for the production of ethanol. At cassava-based plants, operations were in the initial phase and production had not yet reached its full capacity. Consequently, the local price of ethanol was extremely high during this period.

Electric Power Industry in 2009

The domestic usage had dropped since the economic slowdown at the end of 2008 up until mid-2009. After hat point, consumption was on the rise again, reflecting the economy to recover. The total electricity consumption in 2009 (a period of 11 months) was 123,761 megawatt-hours, up 0.93% from 2008. The consumption by the residential sector grew 5.5%, by the industrial sector down 2.7%, and by the business sector down 2.8%. Electricity generation in 2009 (as of October) totaled to 29,212 megawatts, down 2.3% from the previous year. Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand accounted for 49% of total generation, independent power producers 42%, small power producers 7%, and imports from neighboring countries 2%. Natural gas continued to be the major energy source at 71%, coal and lignite at 20%, hydro 5%, fuel oil 0.5%, imported energy sources 1.5%, and other energy sources 2%. The automatic adjustment mechanism (FT tariff) was adjusted upward by 14.85 satangs per unit to 92.55 satangs

per unit.

THAI OIL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED 2009 ANNUAL REPORT INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Industry Overview Market and Global Economy

The global economy will return to trend growth rate of 3.9% in 2010. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that industrialized economies will expand 2.1% while the recovery of developing countries, led by China and India, will rapidly grow at a 6% rate. The banking sector, however, will remain vulnerable to losses from bad loans. For this reason, governments need to continue their stimulus efforts as economic recovery could falter if the support is withdrawn too soon. In addition, high unemployment rates in 2010 will constrain consumer spending, resulting in a slower economic expansion. The IMF expects unemployment rates in advanced countries to maintain the current high levels throughout the year. This year, policymakers around the world will have to address the question of whether they want to continue or end the stimulus package. Proceeding with a new round of supportive measures to drive the economy into real recovery will push public debt even higher. On the other hand, slowing down bailout funds to the banking sector and the public, by reducing cash injections and raising interest rates will risk a drag in the economy and problems in the financial sector could re-emerge. Developing nations, particularly China and India, are expected to wind down financial policies ahead of industrialized countries, having handled the fallout of the economic crisis better. Developed countries, which endured deeper recession, are likely to maintain their respective stimulus policies in order that economic recovery will be more sustainable. There will be no inflation concerns to pressure governments into exiting stimulus measures. It is expected that the US will be the last country to raise interest rates (in mid-2010), which will weaken the US dollar in the long run.

Crude and Petroleum Products

Crude prices are expected to volatile with an average at US$ 75 - 80 a barrel, up from US$ 60 a barrel in 2009, reflecting the rising global demand as the economy rebounds. This will gradually reduce the inventory overhang that persisted throughout 2009. The following factors will have major influences on the continuing volatility of crude prices: Petroleum Product Demand: The International Energy Agency forecasts global demand for finished products to reach 86.3 million barrels per day, increase from the previous year by 1.44 million barrels per day. Major contributors to this growth are developing countries such as China, India, and the Middle East. The US and Europe will post only a slight demand recovery in 2010, taking a few more years before reaching pre-recession levels. Crude Supply and OPEC: Spare crude production capacity will remain in 2010 but will gradually drop as world demand returns. OPEC will continuously monitor price movements, ready to step in and raise the production ceiling to maintain prices at levels that do not negatively impact on oil consumption as in 2008. OPEC is expected to keep production unchanged at 24.84 million barrels per day until mid-2011 when crude inventories are expected to return to normal levels. Crude and Product Inventories: Oil inventories around the world had been building up since late 2008. In particular, the inventory level of diesel, kept in conventional storage and offshore tankers, was record high. Inventories will

gradually fall to noticeable levels in the second half of 2010. As the economy picks up and oil demand rebounds, crude and product inventories should return to normal levels by mid-year. Regional Refining Capacity: This year will see the regional refining capacity grow 1 million barrels per day in addition to the increase of 1.6 million barrels per day in 2008. Driven mainly by China and India, this growth will force regional, European and US refineries which are costly to operate, less efficient and small-scale to gradually lower their utilization rates while operations that are losing profit may have to shut down permanently. In the US alone, the number of unprofitable refineries being closed since late last year is on the rise. It is expected that refinery utilization rates will grow this year as oil demand recovers, however the supply surplus of petroleum products will ease as capacity cuts are imposed by low-margin refineries. Fund Investors and Oil Speculation: The massive amounts of capital injected by global governments have flooded markets with excess liquidity. While the real sector is still too fragile to invest in, hedge funds are increasingly turning to speculation in energy commodities to hedge against dollar weakness and inflation. Moreover, investors are sensitive to economic recovery news and their sentiment influences their decisions to move more funds into the money, stock and oil markets. This speculative investment will continue to be a major contributor to crude price volatility in 2010 irrespective of any restriction to be imposed by US regulators on excessive speculation. Geopolitics in Oil-Producing Nations: Tensions between Iran and the West over the former’s nuclear program and unrest crisis in Nigeria are likely to continue into 2010 but with no major impact on crude prices. Given the oversupply of crude in the market, unstable political situations are expected to drive up prices for only a short term. Seasonal Weather: Demand is typically high for gasoline during the US summer driving season (late May to August) and for diesel fuels and heating oil in the winter months (December to March). These seasonal consumption patterns drive up gasoline and diesel prices worldwide. There is also the potential risk of the hurricane season in the Atlantic (July to November) affecting prices of crude oil and petroleum products as crude and natural gas production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico could be disrupted or damaged temporarily as had happened in 2005 in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina.

Domestic Oil Market

The Thai economy is trending upward, supported by the improving world economy. The Fiscal Policy Office under the Ministry of Finance forecasts that the domestic economy will expand 3 - 4% in 2010. This expansion will push domestic consumption of petroleum products up by 2%. Aviation fuel demand is expected to adjust upward after contracting as much as 5% in 2009, while cooking gas consumption should continue to grow under the government’s subsidy program. However, the following factors have been identified to put Thailand’s growth at risk including the stimulus effort of the government is not working as planned; the Bank of Thailand raising interest rates sooner than predicted; the unsettled


038

THAI OIL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED 2009 ANNUAL REPORT INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

domestic political situation; and the fallout from the environmental impact review of projects in the Map Ta Phut industrial estates that could influence investment decisions of the private sectors as well as affect Thailand’s tourism industry. The volume of refined products is also set to adjust upward through capacity expansion programs undertaken by local refineries in 2009. Competition in the domestic market, therefore, will intensify this year, spurred further by the government’s policy to push for more renewable energy, especially ethanol and biodiesel.

parts and tires, as well as improving production for export. Meanwhile, production of electronics, computer parts and telecommunication equipment are also gradually returning to normal levels. This will boost the demand for solvents used in manufacturing processes and industrial cleaning solvents used in many industries.

Aromatics Market

The recovery of the global economy is expected to return a growth of 3-5% to the demand for aromatics in 2010. Aromatics are used as raw materials in the manufacture of a wide range of everyday consumer products--textiles, packaging materials, electrical appliances, electronic devices--and automotive parts as well as applications in the construction industry. This year, the manufacture of these downstream products should be positively affected by global economic growth and stimulus measures. Aromatics output is forecast to increase in 2010 after new Aromatics plants facilities came on stream in 2009 in China and the Middle East. In addition, there are 5 Olefins plants in the Asia Region that are able to produce aromatics as by-products. These plants will begin to operate in 2010. The output growth will exert downward pressure on aromatics prices and capacity utilization in the region. On the other hand, prices could rise if the start-up of the new facilities is delayed. Then, there is the risk of aromatics production being cut back mid-year as the supply of starting feedstock becomes tight. This is due to refineries operating at reduced capacities combined with naphtha-based olefin plants decreasing their production because they cannot compete with Middle Eastern plants which use natural gas as feedstock. This may result in the decrease of the aromatics productions, which may result in the increment of aromatic prices.

Lube Base Oil Market

In 2010, the recovery from the economic downturn will boost regional demand for lube base oil by 5% while

domestic consumption is expected to rise by 4%. This demand growth is predominantly for Group II and Group III base oil but Group I grade produced by Thaioil still commands 70% of the regional market share. On the supply side, a few Group I plants in Europe and the US will gradually be closed due to the majority of the demand coming from the Asia Pacific Region. Closure of these plants with high operating costs could lead to rising prices for lube base oil, especially the heavy-duty lube base oil.

Solvent Market

The trend in 2010 for the solvent market is encouraging after the collapse in demand during the worldwide recession in late 2008. The demand for solvents used in a variety of industries are on the rise once again on the back of the recovering automotive and related industries as seen in the increased domestic production of automobiles, spare

039

Tanker Market

The tanker market is on the rise in 2010 as a result of sales growth in the region for both petroleum products and petrochemicals, which is led by the demand for 5,000-10,000 dwt petrochemicals tankers. It is anticipated that volumes of imported and exported petrochemicals in Asia, particularly from China, South Korea, Japan, Thailand and Taiwan, will adjust upward. In addition, the increased volume of palm oil exported from Malaysia and Indonesia to Thailand, India and Bangladesh, were consistent with increased renewable energy that is considered as another factor in supporting regional tanker demand. Lastly, the international maritime regulation requiring double hulls in tankers is another aspect supporting the market in 2010.

Ethanol Market

The tight supply of ethanol is anticipated to improve in 2010 as a result of higher sugarcane cultivation and increased production of sugar molasses, which are used as feedstock for ethanol production. New production capacity from cassava-based ethanol plants will further help ease the shortage of molasses. Additionally, ethanol price volatility is expected to lessen as cassava-based ethanol plants come on stream and output is raised. There will be 19 ethanol plants in 2010, an additional two from 2009, with a total production capacity of 2.875 million liters per day. (The capacity ratio of using sugar, cassava and molasses as feedstock is 62, 31 and 7 respectively.) Ethanol supply in 2010 is expected to balance domestic demand while consumption will increase to 2 million liters per day.

Electric Power Market

Electric power demand will grow 4%, primarily from the industrial and business sectors, in alignment with the recovering economy of Thailand and the government’s policy to freeze the fuel tariff (FT) until August of 2010. The capacity for electric generation in 2010 is expected to increase 1,620 megawatts with 920 megawatts from the Nam Theun 2 Hydroelectric Project in Laos and 700 megawatts from the North Bangkok Power Plant.

THAI OIL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED 2009 ANNUAL REPORT FUTURE PROJECTS

041

Future Projects The Thaioil Group strategic investment plan aims to enhance the company potential in conducting business toward sustainable growth and to strengthen its reliability in order to face with the future volatility of oil and petrochemical industry. This objective is achieved by focusing on expanding refinery operations that are linked to the petrochemical and related businesses, adding value to products, and continuing to invest in power and alternative energy. These efforts underlie the Company’s vision to be a leading energy company in the Asia Pacific.

Projects Underway

• EURO IV Fuel Thaioil commenced the project to produce EURO IV fuel in 2007 in order to comply with the government’s regulation that will become effective in 2012. By February 2008, four years prior to the deadline, Thaioil was able to launch the new standard diesel fuel to market. Though the principal goal was to support the government’s policy on environmental improvement, the Company also managed to expand its domestic market shares of diesel fuel. In June and September this year, Thaioil further introduced gasoline 95 octane and gasoline 91 octane on EURO IV standard. The Company also sets to build a unit to reduce sulphur in catalytic cracked gasoline

in order to produce gasohol conforming to EURO IV standard by the government’s 2012 deadline. For this project, the Company selected Prime G+ technology of Axens and awarded Technip the construction contract. The 1.6 billion baht project has now progressed to the stage of engineering design and procurement of major equipment. When the project is completed in the fourth quarter of 2011, Thaioil will be able to produce diesel fuel and all gasoline grades of EURO IV quality. • TDAE Production by Thai Lube Base Thai Lube Base is undertaking the project to build a unit to process distillate aromatic extracts into Treated Distillate Aromatic Extracts (TDAE). Containing less than 3% of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, non-toxic TDAE are used in the manufacturing of high-quality car tires, which is mandatory in the European Community in 2010. Engineering design has completed and the project has now progressed to the stage of procurement and construction. With the investment cost of US$ 25 million, Thai Lube Base will have the capacity to process additional 67,000 tons per year of TDAE. Completion and commercial operation are scheduled for early 2011. • Marine Fleet Expansion by Thaioil Marine According to the two-phase fleet expansion plan of Thaioil Marine, new petroleum and petrochemical tankers will be acquired to address the ever-growing demand of PTT Group. Two petrochemical tankers of 7,000 deadweight tons (dwt) each, and one medium range clean product tanker of 30,000 dwt have been delivered

under phase 1, with the acquisition of another petrochemical tanker under review. In phase 2, four tankers are planned for delivery during 2010-2012. Three will be petrochemical tankers with two at 7,000 dwt each and one at 3,000 dwt. The fourth will be a 40,000 dwt clean product tanker.

Thaioil Marine plans to acquire two tankers with the capacity of 7,000 dwt each in 2012 to replace the existing aging petrochemical tankers. The aforemented marine fleet expansion will enable Thaioil Marine to serve 25% of PTT group demand. • TOP Solvent (TOP Solvent Company Limited) Thaioil has expanded into the solvent business in Thailand covering production, distribution and marketing. After acquiring the business from Shell Company of Thailand, the Company formed TOP Solvent Company Limited in December 2008 to run the operation. A business plan is already in place to synergize with Thaioil Group and reduce operating costs in the area of feedstock procurement and utilization of by-products within Thaioil Group. The business has also been expanded to solvent distribution in Vietnam. A terminal, with delivery and distribution facilities, is located in Go Dau near the industrial complex at Ho Chi Minh. This is the Company’s first overseas operation, which targeted to capture the opportunity of Vietnam’s great growth potential, and from which Thaioil can expand into other markets by leveraging its wide-ranging expertise.

Projects under Study

• Aromatics Output Optimization by Thai Paraxylene Thai Paraxylene plans to revamp Tatoray Unit into the STDP (Selective Toluene Disproportion) unit. The process will convert the low value toluene into the higher-value paraxylene, for which there is growing demand, and benzene. The estimated capital cost of the project is US$ 45 million, less investment than constructing a new process unit. • Hydrocracker Unit 2 Expansion Thaioil plans to expand Hydrocracker Unit 2 in order to reduce the production of low-value fuel oil and increase the production of higher-value diesel fuel and naphtha. A feasibility study is being undertaken of the project that is estimated to cost US$ 200 million. • Port and Terminal Synergy by Thaioil Group and PTT Sriracha Thaioil plans to implement a synergy program between Thaioil Group and PTT terminal at Sriracha to jointly improve port and product storage tank management. The proximity of the sites and similarity of the products offer the opportunities to trade petroleum products and petrochemicals. The synergy will enhance the effectiveness and flexibility in managing the facilities as well as gain savings in operating costs and future investments.

Refining and Petrochemical Operations • Alternative Energy To address the government’s alternative energy policy, Thaioil has studied the viability of investing in a number of alternative energy sources, such as biomass, solar and wind power plants. At this initial stage, the Company is investing in alternative energy via MFC Energy Fund. This approach allows Thaioil to access the extensive data on various alternative energy sources for use in future investments. It is a low-risk entry into alternative energy investment for Thaioil and benefits the domestic small-sized operators, who have high potential. • Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Thaioil has been seeking new investment opportunities consistently, both locally and abroad, in its drive toward long-term growth. The period of economic downturn, especially, offered good under-valued M&A targets. The Company’s diversification into overseas business started with the acquisition of the solvent business in Vietnam from Shell Vietnam Limited. The M&A allows Thaioil to quickly achieve its growth target. It also enables the Company to choose strategically aligned acquisitions to enhance Thaioil’s value or to diversify its risks to targeted businesses, such as ethanol production, power generation, and other industries related to Thaioil’s core business.

Following the difficult economic environment of 2008, Thaioil and subsidiary companies could continue to operate at optimum capacity utilization. This success was achieved through the integrated production planning which facilitated optimization of the operations of Thaioil, Thai Lube Base and Thai Paraxylene, subsidiaries in which Thaioil holds 100% stake each. In 2009, Thaioil refinery processed 273,563 barrels per day of crude and feedstock, utilizing 99.5% of its processing capacity. Thai Lube Base achieved a throughput of 246,650 tons per annum, equivalent to a capacity utilization of 93.1%, which was consistent with the depressed lube base oil demand during the first quarter while Thai Paraxylene ran a throughput of 762,282 tons per annum, which corresponded to a utilization rate of 84.4%.

Refining Operations

In 2009, Thaioil processed crude oil and other raw material at the rate of 273,563 barrels per day on average equivalent to a capacity utilization of 99.5%. To accomplish this feat during a period of economic turbulence that began in 2008 is due to the process flexibility that enables Thaioil to produce a variety of products according to customer requirements, as shown in Figure 1. In June 2009, Thaioil became the first refinery in Thailand to produce gasoline compliant with EURO IV standard. The Company also broadened its product distribution channels to overseas. This demonstrates the capability of Thaioil in maintaining its leadership position as an oil refining company of international standard in Asia Pacific. To maintain the readiness and competitiveness of the process capability at all times, Thaioil performed regular inspections, maintenance and modifications of equipment as well as processing operations to optimize performance, namely: • Improved the efficiency and capacity of the power generating unit by injecting fogging into the air received by the combustion chamber to reduce the combustion air temperature. • Used unconventional crude, which provided better margin, as feedstock for process units. • Increased the proportion of jet fuel and diesel fuel from fuel oil by increasing the temperature in the vacuum distillation unit. • Modified the jet fuel loading system via the conventional buoy mooring, a project which helped improve the efficiency in product sales to overseas customers as it provided greater convenience and speed. • Increased the production of diesel fuel by introducing the surplus from Sak Chaisidhi, in which Thaioil holds 80.52% of shares via TOP Solvent, for additional blending. • Developed the online optimization system for process units, which is an advanced process control that enables higher production of valuable products.

Human Resource and Organization Structure Development Human Resource Development

In 2009, Thaioil remained stable in all fronts amid the challenges of the economic recession and consolidated its position as a leading organization. This is evident from the performance delivered and the strategic projects implemented, which reflect Thaioil’s determination to achieve excellence in responding to stakeholders’ needs. The main driving force behind every success was the employees in whom Thaioil had implemented an aggressive competency-based human resource management program that was linked to the Company’s strategic goals. This made the development of organizational management flexible and led Thaioil to become a high-performance organization, while employee engagement to the Company can be maintained at a satisfactory level. Finally, the project can ensure the achievement of the Company’s goal as being “the workplace of choice” for talented personnel. Thaioil has integrated Strategic Focused Organization (SFO) concept, Total Quality Management (TQM), brand management and corporate values (POSITIVE) altogether. These are elements which develop and promote the staff’s ethics, professionalism and align their behavior to strategic goals.

Performance Management System

The Performance Management System (PMS) that was successfully implemented with middle and higher management was adapted into the Performance Appraisal System (PAS) for application to all Thaioil Group employees. The premise of the system is that the qualities assessed will determine the desirable behavior of the employees. The tools used for this purpose are the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and KPIs, which translate strategies into individual action plans, and the 360-Degree Competency Assessment, which transformed the POSITIVE value into the competencies that can be assessed. In addition, Thaioil organizes an Operational Excellence Workshop every quarter. The workshop provides the specific channels for the CEO and senior executives to communicate Company’s policies and directions to the middle management and related employees. This enables employees to integrate business strategies into their initiatives and performance, hence ensure accomplishment of satisfactory results.

Individual Career Plan and Individual Development Plan

Under Thaioil’s employee participative management policy, staff have roles to take parts in setting up their individual career plan and individual development plans. Job rotation is one of the methodologies for employees to acquire new knowledge and skills through on-the-job training and coaching by experienced staff. This will serve the organization

by having employees who have knowledge, skills and strengths to contribute to business needs over the long run

as well as to provide qualified manpower for succession plans.

Employee Development for Top Management Succession

Thaioil is cooperating with PTT Plc. to develop senior management in preparation for running the business both in present and future. Thaioil has appointed a consultant to study and design models for top management positions.

The models comprise of success profiles that are linked to business drivers as the framework in assessing

the competencies, experiences and attributes of the employees for development in preparation for future succession.

The development of senior management’s capabilities is based on the strengths of each person through the application of mentoring methodology, executive personal coaching, etc. With more than 48 years of experience, Thaioil has a large pool of refining business knowledges and skills. The Company also recognizes the importance of this knowledge and hence adopts knowledge management tools to develop the next generation of employees. Critical knowledge, skills and experiences in each specific area are being identified and stored. That knowledge is then shared with employees at training workshops, which is recorded for analysis and can be further accessed by related employees.

Organizational Structure Development

Thaioil’s organization was formerly structured by functional lines, which worked well for the business at that time. With rapidly changing in business environment and in order to provide support for the new strategic goals and organizational culture, a consultant was employed in early 2007 to review, recommend and design a macro-structure organization based on the existing competencies. The main feature of the macro-structure organization is adjusting the upper structure of the organization according to business targets and work processes. The focus of the new organization is on external and internal customer service, prompt and effective response to business requirements, further changes, and teamwork. The approach in restructuring the organization began by fully understanding Thaioil’s desired business strategy and working culture. This was followed by the study of core working processes, which includes various support systems. The consultant worked closely with Thaioil’s management to apply the international oil industry best practice. The result is an organizational structure that can best meet business needs and is ideal for the Company. The trial of new design concept was conducted on a number of employees to ensure that the process works well and can adapt as needed. The design was also tested with top executives, which was a crucial step of the project. Upon completion of the project, a workshop was held for senior management to decide on the implementation of the new organizational structure. The macrostructure organization was designed to focus on the three following components: Focus on shareholders’ interest Manage “current business” Develop growth and enhance confidence in including organic growth with future business effective business management Structuring management this way enables the CEO to focus on leadership and management in terms of new strategies which are necessary for business growth, while the COO (Chief Operating Officer) focuses on efficient performance, development and integrating existing business units.


048

Thaioil is confident that the newly designed organization structure would provide the following key benefits: • To promote the business growth through the establishment of organization structure that supports the vision and strategic plan of Thaioil Group. The designed structure will align all work processes and ensure that the organization target is achieved. • To enable the establishment of synergy benefit and promote the cooperation among Thaioil Group to create value added. • To expand the concept of Area Production Unit (APU) which has been successfully deployed in certain areas to cover the overall work processes by combining the operation of fuel refinery, lube base oil plant and aromatic plants altogether. • To enhance the customer satisfaction by integrating roles and functions of commercial and manufacturing units. • To be flexible and sustainable organization by being able to adapt and response to changes.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Quality, Health, Safety and Environmental Management Systems Moving Together Toward the 49th Year

Throughout Thaioil’s 48-year experience, one important thing Thaioil has never neglected is the responsibility to all stakeholders. Since the refinery first came on stream until today with all its related businesses, Thaioil has not only been committed to the environment, an area very much at concern these days, but to all of its stakeholders as well. Thaioil has taken into consideration the impact on its neighboring communities and employees from the quality of life, economic or social aspects in recognition that “business cannot succeed in a society that fails”. It has, therefore, been Thaioil’s practice for over 48 years to co-exist in harmony, supporting each other and growing together. In 2009, Thaioil continued to prioritize its corporate social responsibility in every area. A large number of societybased projects were implemented, particularly developing the quality of communities and the environment both around the refinery and in remote areas where government services fail to reach. These efforts went in parallel with the development of work standards and effective management of all systems.

1. Environmental and Safety Performance

1.1 Environmental Performance Thaioil is committed to managing natural resources sustainably, systematically, comprehensively and in

a manner that maximizes its value. This includes preventing, monitoring and solving environmental problems and climate change at the root cause. The extent of responsibility is not restricted to only the area nearby the refinery but encompasses areas at local and national levels by ensuring that Thaioil’s products and operations are truly friendly to the environment. • Environmental Quality Management Throughout 2009, the results of environmental quality assessment around the refinery were always satisfactorily below the standard limit. This was due to the full and strict adherence to the law while the impact on the health of the local community was closely monitored. Air and water quality measuring stations were set up for continuous assessment and views of stakeholders and academics were taken into consideration. • Selection of Appropriate Technologies for Process and Auxiliary Units For instance, the construction of 4 Sulphur Recovery Units to recover sulphur, as a by-product, from sulphur dioxide. The installation of Vapor Recovery Unit to capture oil vapor from venting into the air during product distribution, contributing towards pollution control and reduction of oil loss. • Construction of Effluent Treatment Plant with Denitrification - Nitrification Biotreater to treat waste water before discharging outside the refinery. • Environmentally-friendly products In addition to EURO IV-grade diesel fuel, Thaioil commenced production of gasoline 95 and 91 octane to EURO IV standard, which have sulphur content 10 times lower than conventional gasoline. Thaioil was the first and only refinery to produce and distribute these products in Thailand.


052

THAI OIL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED 2009 ANNUAL REPORT CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND QUALITY, HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

• Production of Treated Distillate Aromatic Extracts (TDAE) according to the standard for low-toxic extender oils imposed by the European Community, which is abided and certified by leading tire manufacturers, that it can reduce the amount of carcinogenic particles released during use of tires from tire wear. • Energy-saving project whereby the heat from gas turbine exhaust is utilized to produce steam. • Designated green areas covering 30% of the refinery complex, in which trees were planted to form a natural fence between the surrounding community and the refinery. Thaioil will continue to fulfill our corporate social responsibility in the future with more community-andenvironment-based projects that aim to conserve energy and sustain natural resources. Thaioil is, for example, undertaking a feasibility study of a zero-discharge project to treat waste water by a reverse osmosis process and recycle it for re-use.

1.2 Safety Performance The importance of stakeholders has shaped the priority Thaioil places in the management of employee occupational health and safety. To raise the quality of work and quality of life of employees and all concerned parties, Thaioil has applied a number of management systems and international standards, including TIS 18001 and OHSAS 18001 for occupational health and safety, which will contribute to a strong corporate performance. • Potential Incident Report Thaioil has launched the campaign for employees and contractors to write the Potential Incident Report (PIR), which covers events that have occurred and not yet caused injury or damaged property but have the potential to cause so. The number of potential incident reports was set as a leading indicator, to be used as proactive data for the efficient and effective prevention of accidents. Several additional action plans were established to prevent repetitive accidents, such as Enhanced Safety Management (ESM). The support of Thaioil management for the safety management system to minimize accidents was reflected in the decision to implement several measures, e.g. establish safety as a responsible duty of all staff according to the line of supervision, organize activities to promote safety such as toolbox talk meetings, invite the management of contractors to co-audit work safety, and implement the “Friend Helping Friend with Safety Recommendations” Project. • Competency Development Thaioil has established the safety competency development plan for all levels of staff in the form of Individual Development Plans (IDP), training modules, knowledge management, Process Improvement for Operational Excellence (PIOE), etc. This is to ensure that employees are knowledgeable, competent and skillful, appropriately and adequately for jobs, positions and assignment to enable them to perform their tasks safely.

053

• Shared Safety Service Thaioil modified the organizational structure in order to enhance the potential of safety management of Thai Paraxylene, Thai Lube Base, and Independent Power (Thailand), companies of Thaioil Group and operating within the proximity of refinery. Supports are shared among the companies and provided through personnel rotation, pooling of safety and firefighting equipment and tools, centralizing personnel to repair and maintain safety equipment, performing safety training, setting up emergency plans and expanding the central firefighting team. These efforts aim to standardize and strengthen safety by enhancing capabilities, developing personnel and sharing safety knowledge among Thaioil Group companies. • Safety Management and Design Services by Thaioil Energy Solutions With Thaioil’s lengthy experience and expertise, services are currently offered to customers through Thaioil Energy Solutions (TES) on safety management and design of safety and fire prevention and protection

systems. The services include safety and fire assessment, safety training, preincident planning and incident command training, and risk assessment. This initiative also enhances the potential of our personnel and develop professional-leveled safety officer in Thaioil Group, by broadening their knowledge, competency and experience, in order to become a crucial force in the future development of safety professionals. • Support to Government and other External Agencies Thaioil was selected to chair the Emergency Response Task Force of the Petroleum Institute of Thailand. The objectives of the task force are to provide support to safety management and emergency response for petroleum and petrochemical industries. Additionally, Thaioil is widely recognized as the technical and technological center for occupational health, safety, and fire protection and prevention management. A large number of public and private agencies, throughout domestic and international educational institutions continuously visit the refinery operations. Every year, Thaioil’s personnel are also regularly invited to be guest speakers and members of drafting committees of laws relating to occupational health, safety, and fire protection and prevention management.

• Golden Zero Accident Award By prioritizing on stakeholder interests, according to the principle of corporate social responsibility and integrated management system for quality, occupational health and safety, Thaioil was granted the golden Zero Accident Award from the Ministry of Labor. This was in recognition of the Company record of 10 million man-hours without lost-time accident. Thaioil was the first refinery in Thailand to obtain this award for its determination in performing duties responsibly according to safety management standards, and in continuously improving safety management, as evident by its Total Reportable Case Frequency (TRCf) in 2009 being the lowest in 10 years.

2. Integrated Management System and Management System toward Excellence

This is another effort by Thaioil Group to develop work standards that are consistently reliable and for being the starting point to deliver quality products to customers. In 2009, Thaioil implemented the integrated management system and management system toward excellence as follows:

2.1 Integrated Management System (ISO 9001/ISO 14001/TIS 18001) and BS OHSAS 18001:2007 and Competence of Laboratories Management System (ISO/IEC 17025) • The First Refinery in Thailand to Achieve Integrated Management System Certification The pride of being the country’s leading refinery underpins the importance Thaioil attach to upholding quality, occupational health, safety and environmental responsibilities, which have been embedded into the makeup of employees throughout its 48 years of operation. This is evident from Thaioil being the first refinery in the country to achieve integrated management system certification in 2009 from Management System Certification Institute (Thailand) covering all work activities across the refinery. In 2010, Thaioil will introduce new management systems to further support its operations with continuous and sustainable improvement so as to become Strategic Focused Organization. • Laboratory Management System (ISO/IEC 17025) The Laboratory Management System (ISO/IEC 17025) has been continuously improved. The newly developed project relating to laboratory that had been implemented during 2008-2009 was the Thaioil Group Laboratory Control System, of which the benefits are: • Enhancing the efficiency in controlling the testing equipment to ensure accurate test results. • Establishing a system that improves convenience and speed, reducing repetitive documentation

and records.

2.2 Management System toward Excellence Thaioil is committed to continuously improve the competencies of its management system in order to achieve the targets of being an organization of excellence and a leader of a fully integrated oil refining and petrochemical business in Asia Pacific, able to meet the needs and expectations of all stakeholders. Thaioil has, therefore, adopted the criteria of Thailand Quality Award for using as a tool to support the appraisal and development of organization management. Thaioil submitted an application report detailing the processes and results of its performance for the Thailand Quality Award with the following objectives: 1. To appraise the performance of management system based on international standard criteria, which

will provide opportunity to further improve and develop its competitiveness. 2. To share experiences with other organizations and hence support the country’s competitiveness.

3. Social and Community Activities

The community around the refinery is another segment that is hugely vital to Thaioil as the Company recognizes and believes in the concept of growing together. Thaioil had implemented a continuous string of various activities, especially in developing the quality of life of the community, such as education and public health, including the activities to preserve the local customs and traditions. There are long-term projects, such as in the area of education, and new projects jointly developed by the community and Thaioil, which reflect the long-standing cooperation, good will and relationship between Thaioil and the local community.

• Educational Support and Quality of Life Development for Youth Projects

With the belief that education is the foundation of development, in 2009, Thaioil had expanded its scholarships for students at primary school to university level from 126 to 162 scholarships covering 22 communities in Laem Chabang Municipality. This provided education opportunity to poor youths with good study results. Thaioil also initiated the Knowledge plus Ethics Create Youth Leader Project to serve the needs of the community. The project offers educational support to youths in seven communities surrounding the refinery with good study results, well behaved and contributions to the community and society to further their education at bachelor degree level at Kasetsart Univeristy, Sriracha Campus. By providing education at a local university, it is believed that the graduates will become future active contributors to the development of the community. Thaioil’s scholarships provide educational support until the graduation. 1. Educational Funds • Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Fund under the royal patronage awards scholarships to unlimited levels and education fields either in Thailand or abroad. The fund aims that graduates use their knowledge and experience to fulfill the royal intent and contribute to the betterment of the country. • Thai Oil Public Company Limited Fund under the Ananda Mahidol Foundation.

057

2. Collaboration with Educational Institutions Thaioil have been collaborating with various educational institutions to organize activities and projects related to the promotion and development of youth education. Participants will have chance to gain scientific experience from activities which encourage learning that helps develop logical thinking, which will lead to understanding and create the skills necessary to learn so that they become a major force in the future development of the community. These programs are: - Chemical Engineering Practice School Program (ChEPS) for King Mongkut University Technology Thonburi students. - Thaioil Education Fund to Commemorate Dr. Pramoj Chaivej in collaboration with Engineering Institute of Thailand Foundation.

- Construction of basic infrastructure for the locals in remote areas via the support to the Borpit Young Engineer Camp. - Culture and Science Youth Camp Project in collaboration with the National Science Museum. - Brushstrokes of Dreams Project under the theme of “Persuade a Friend to Tell a Story: Keeping the Thai Language Alive”. - Thaioil Youth Diplomats Project which encourages youths to love their hometown and acts as a medium in communicating and raising awareness of various undertakings by the community and Thaioil. • New Dimension in Cooperation: From Shelf to Store These are projects on which Thaioil cooperated with the Petroleum and Petrochemical College of Chulalongkorn University to merge together the R&D potential of the education sector and the capacity of the industrial sector in operating business. The cooperation aims to transform the research results to energy innovation and further develop to generate business value added. The program focuses on efficient use of energy and development of products and alternative energy for the future. Three R&D projects were undertaken this year with the potential of extending the results into practice.

(1) Energy Conservation for Crude Distillation Unit (CDU): Application of the Pinch technology in arranging and designing the CDU-3 heat exchanger for optimized efficiency. (2) Evaluation of Commercial HDS Catalyst Performance: Building a small-scale pilot reactor to test the hydrodesulfurization process catalyst in order to produce EURO IV and EURO V grades of diesel fuel. The objective is for the lab to meet international standards and gain acceptance by catalyst producing companies. (3) Waste Tires to Fuels: The research is regarding the process to convert used tires into liquid fuels for development into commercial production. The research covers the method and process for efficient collecting of used tires, designing a prototype plant to produce fuel from used tires, and conducting economic analysis to determine commercial viability of the prototype plant. • Community Health and Quality of Life Following the success of Thaioil mobile medical service project which attracted wide participation from the public, Thaioil extended public service offering, according to the needs of the community, to enhance knowledge and skill. The Company initiated the project to construct the Thaioil Group Health and Learning Center for the Local Community that provides basic health services for the community and enhances knowledge and skill. The center offers a library, occupational training, a courtyard for staging health activities, and promotion of young children development. The aim is to empower the community in a realistic and sustainable manner. • Environmental Conservation Thaioil Group collaborated with Kasetsart University, Sriracha Campus, Laem Chabang Municipality, and the committee of the community surrounding the refinery in initiating the community biodiesel production from used vegetable oil project to reduce pollution. Used oil from shops and homes were collected and processed into biodiesel to help lessen water and air pollution as well as health problems from food prepared with used vegetable oil. The project also acted as a knowledge center on alternative energy for students and the interested public. Thaioil Group provided financial support to Kasetsart University to research and build the machine to produce biodiesel. • Stove Modification for Tea Plant Steaming, Muang Pan District, Chiang Mai Thaioil Group, the Energy Policy and Planning Office, Chiangmai University, and the Energy for Environment Foundation collaborated to develop the energy-efficient stove for steaming leaves of the tea plant. Locals of Baan Pa Miang have been steaming and selling tea leaves for generations. The leaves are consumed in their households or sold as a local product of the North. Steaming in the conventional way takes about 90 minutes for 25 kilograms of tea leaves, burning 20-25 kilograms of wood. An energy-efficient stove is able to steam the same volume of tea leaves in 60 minutes, burning only 10 kilograms of wood. Energy consumption is saved by as much as 60%, which equates to reduced deforestation or more than 4,800 tons of trees saved from being cut down. There are currently 83 energy-efficient stoves being used in 83 households, reducing greenhouse gas by 34,800 tons of carbon dioxide per year. Thaioil plans to expand this project to other villages in the near future.

Thaioil Group Health and Learning Center

• Village-Level Hydropower Plant at Baan Pian Sub-District, Doi Saket District, Chiangmai Thaioil lent support through the Energy for Environment Foundation in cooperation with the Alternative Energy Development and Energy Conservation Department in developing the project to build a small hydropower plant of 3 kilowatts, the capacity needed by the community. The project, which is now in operation, included the installation of a turbine generator, control and transmission systems, and transmission poles. The location is at Baan Pian, a village too remote for the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand to reach. The villagers previously used electric power generated from solar cells of 120 watts. But the area did not facilitate full power generation because of regular rains disallowing villagers to use electricity comsistently throughout the year. • Hydropower Plant at Huay Poo Ling Sub-District, Baan Luang District, Chiangmai This project was implemented through the cooperation of various agencies and Thaioil Group in order to provide support to fulfill the normal lives of villagers. The project expanded the power transmission lines to transmit power to two villages of 66 households, thereby enhancing the quality of life and providing the opportunity for them to access news and information. Thaioil is committed to continue our involvement in social-based projects and the improvement of work standards. The activities will focus on environmental conservation, equitable treatment to all stakeholders, and beneficial to the public. It is Thaioil’s hope that these efforts represent its commitment to conduct business while embracing corporate social responsibility, according to good corporate governance principles, as the Company embarks on its 49th year alongside the Thai public.

THAI OIL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED 2009 ANNUAL REPORT RISK MANAGEMENT

095

Risk Management Background

Thaioil has been fully aware of how the risk management is crucial to its operations in achieving the set targets amid a volatile environment with direct and indirect impact on profitability. Thaioil has, therefore, established a common risk management policy and structure covering the whole group of companies. The Risk Management Steering Committee (RMSC) is responsible for providing necessary support to risk management activities including monitoring progress. RMSC approves risk exposures and relevant control measures as proposed by Risk Management Committees - Disciplines by determining whether mitigation measures provide effective coverage and are appropriate and adequate according to the risk policy. Progress of risk management activities are reported to the Audit Committee every quarter and to the Board of Directors at least twice a year. The Internal Systems Audit Section is accountable to monitor and audit progress of risk management implemented by various departments. A qualified third-party assessor is engaged to assess the quality of Thaioil Group risk management. The assessment covers the efficiency and effectiveness of risk management processes according to international standards. The findings had demonstrated continually improving risk management capabilities. A score of 73% was rated in 2007, 87% in 2008, and 87% (expanded assessment scope to cover TOP Group) in 2009. Through continuous efforts, Thaioil has been able to manage risk exposures to within acceptable limits as well as prevent the negative impact of new potential risks. These risk factors can be summarized as follows.

Strategic Risk 1. Global Crisis and Industry Downturn

The financial crisis in the US in September 2008, which expanded into a global economic recession from the end of 2008 to 2009, severely affected the demand for industrial goods including vehicle fuels which are Thaioil’s major products. Thaioil responded to the potential impact on Group’s consolidated profits by developing marketing, production and alternative business plans. Thaioil also placed emphasis on Group-wide collaboration by forming operational plans and putting into practice the results of operational excellence workshop. In support of these efforts were a number of strategic programs and measures. For instance, identifying new markets such as Indochina, launching new products to market ahead of other refineries such as EURO IV-grade gasoline and low-toxic rubber oil TDAE, operating cost reduction measures, profit improvement from Hydrocarbon Management Review (HMR) programs, optimizing synergy among domestic refineries and the PTT Group via the cooperation under Oil Integration

Management (OIM) project etc. In addition, Thaioil implemented investment strategy constantly aiming at increasing business value added and diversifying risks by identifying new investment opportunities with low risks and acceptable returns.

2. Changes and New Government Policies, Laws and Regulations

The production and commercial activities as well as investment programs of Thaioil and subsidiary companies are affected by government policies and laws, such as those governing alternative fuels, prices and quality control, as well as the environment. To mitigate the impact of government policy, Thaioil and subsidiary companies incorporated with refineries under the PTT Group, have been coordinating closely and preparing information for government authorities to review and take into consideration. Thaioil has also formulated plans in response to a variety of impact, such as providing data to support the review of new legislation and developing employee knowledge and skills to facilitate their adjustment to change. Thaioil also coordinates with other domestic refineries to jointly develop plan in response to potential risks.

3. Strategic Execution

Putting strategies into practice can expose Thaioil to many obstacles and risks that hinder its targeted success. The Company’s Growth Steering Committee meets regularly to monitor progress in studying and developing new businesses and to review the adequacy of financial and human resources. To enhance the efficiency in monitoring project progress, leader is assigned for every project with the Business Development Department as the focal point for coordinating with those responsible for the projects and the Strategic Planning Department. In addition, Thaioil has put in place an effective system for monitoring and reporting performance against corporate and department targets on a monthly basis. The Risk Management Section is responsible to monitor and review with risk owners in every business unit in order to improve the effectiveness and confidence in implementing plans and mitigating measures of corporate strategy.

4. Merger and Acquisition Risk: Pre and Post Transaction

Thaioil’s strategy is aiming for expansion into new businesses to diversify investment and enhance profits. Implementing this strategy, however, could expose the Company to the risk of returns on investment failing to meet the target, which will impact on overall business growth. Thaioil has mitigated associated risks through human resources management. Personnel with merger and acquisition (M&A) experience have been assigned to assume responsibility for these projects. There are central units to provide support in terms of studies, analyses and monitoring project progress. A team of financial and legal consultants with M&A experience has been formed to provide expert counsel. The Business Development Department and Thaioil Energy Solutions, a subsidiary company, have roles and responsibility in providing the acquired business with support on business and technology, financial and human resources.


096

THAI OIL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED 2009 ANNUAL REPORT RISK MANAGEMENT

Marketing Risk 1. Oil Price Fluctuate and Margin Decrease

World oil prices and market are key variables impacting Thaioil’s revenue and profitability targets. By closely and consistently monitoring movements in prices and the oil market, Thaioil can obtain adequate information that enable to forecast and plan sales precisely and hence mitigating impact on planned revenues and profits. Thaioil has also developed the capability of its Corporate Commercial Planning Department by applying tools that enable in-depth market and oil pricing analysis to support production and commercial planning. The Company has implemented proactive planning of feedstock purchase and oil hedging, an effective credit and inventory management program, Operational Excellence Workshop, the Hydrocarbon Management Review (HMR) which helps improve gross integrated margins and reduce operating costs, including new measures to reduce costs of feedstock and freight.

2. Decline in Domestic Demand

Volatility of the economy affected product demand of Thaioil’s customers. Thaioil, hence, adopted measures which focus on sales planning, market expansion, and securing new customers in neighboring regions where the Company has an advantage such as Indochina. Some of these measures include: improving customer satisfaction both domestic and abroad by expanding distribution channels such as the opening of the new lorry loading facility for service to offer customers greater convenience and flexibility; matching sales and production to market conditions at any particular period and seeking overseas markets with the potential to absorb export of petroleum, aromatics, lube base oil and solvent products; and collaborating with other refineries to manage the surplus supply.

3. Technological Changes

Changes in technology have created numerous alternatives for consumers and affected Thaioil’s operations, for instance, petroleum product consumption has reduced as replaced by other alternative energy. Thaioil has new product development project and plans to have TLB produce Group II lube base oil in place of Group I to meet changing customer requirements; closely monitor changes in technology which affect oil consumption and market demand; set strategy to address these changes; and cooperate with PTIT, PTT’s Wang Noi Research Center and leading universities on research and development of new products.

4. Feedstock Interruption

Oil-exporting countries tried to control output during the economic downturn to keep the price of crude oil from excessive falling down. There is also an increase in crude oil demand as new regional refineries came on stream. Thus, it became harder for Thaioil to secure feedstock, particularly Middle East crude which is well suited to the design of Thaioil and subsidiaries process. Any interruption to feedstock supply can cause the refinery to shut down and the inability to fulfill contractual obligations in delivering products to customers. This, as a consequence will create a loss of revenue and loss of reputation for Thaioil. Thaioil has, therefore, adjusted the refining operations to process crude oil available in the market. Crude supply planning is undertaken in collaboration with PTT and includes securing long-term contracts in volumes that meet the requirements of the production plan.

097

Operations Risk 1. Single-Site Operation and Operational Disruption

The benefit of Thaioil refinery and its subsidiary plants being located on the same site is the cost advantage in product delivery between the refinery and plants, equipment maintenance, and oil loss control. However, this could turn into a weakness in the event of unexpected incidents such as being the target for instigating political turmoil, protest demonstration or sabotage. Any of these events could force all our operations to shut down, losing business opportunities and revenues. Thaioil, therefore, manages this risk by establishing stringent security and safety measures; cooperating with government agencies that provide national security intelligence; practicing our emergency plan; installing additional safety systems such as the overfill protection for storage tanks; constructing and putting into operation the firehouse; providing additional firefighting foam throughout the site; installing various alarm systems; and having in place a disaster recovery plan which covers procurement, sales, finance, insurance, and information technology systems for process units. Additional efforts include the implementation of preventive maintenance whereby equipment are inspected and repaired to prevent failure, the installation of additional safeguarding systems, cooperating with government units in annual emergency drills and extending insurance coverage to Business Interruption.

Corporate Risk 1. Human Resource Capability

Our Human Resources and Organization Development Business Improvement Departments are responsible for organization development, macro structure, and knowledge management. In terms of human resources development, Thaioil has launched the campaign to promote the POSITIVE corporate values, implements the development of employee competence through individual career and individual development plans, succession plans, performance management, experienced personnel recruitment, and job rotation of Thaioil Group employees in order to develop their competence and reinforce Thaioil’s potential for sustainable growth.

2. Community and Public Pressure

Business operations, especially large corporations, must make community and environmental safeguarding a priority. Thaioil recognizes that protecting the environment from the impact of its operations is vital as it could otherwise lead to claims and charges being filed that would discredit the good name of Thaioil and result in business being ordered to shut down. Thaioil has, therefore, adopted a proactive policy which aims to foster good relations equally with every community group, to build trust through transparent disclosure of information on production and the community, and setting up a community education center to develop relations and to communicate with the community. However, should it become unavoidable or in the event of an emergency, Thaioil will apply crisis communication management in ending the root cause and provide correct and timely facts in order to prevent rumors or a negative image of the Company.


098

THAI OIL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED 2009 ANNUAL REPORT RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial Risk 1. Fluctuation in Foreign Exchange Rate

Thaioil capability in sourcing outside fund is subject to many factors including: •  Operational results, financial position and cash flows of Thaioil and subsidiary companies •  Economic situation of Thailand and the world •  Situation of petroleum and petrochemical industry in Thailand and the region •  Demand for raising capital from domestic and international money and capital markets •  Cost of debt The operations of Thaioil and subsidiary companies, which target the creation of sustainable long-term growth, and its standing as an organization with good corporate governance practices, have resulted in continuous solid operating results. Together with its close monitoring of changes in factors relevant to capital-raising, Thaioil is confident that it can secure sufficient financing to expand business in the future with appropriate financial cost.

Changes of the foreign exchange rate of the baht against the US dollar directly and indirectly affect the results and financial position of Thaioil. This is because the majority of revenues derive from domestic sales of finished oil products are based on world market prices quoted in US dollars. Therefore, changes in the foreign exchange rates affect the Company revenues. At the same time, the majority of cost of sales from crude purchase is also denominated in US dollars. This baht volatility thus affects refining margins. In addition, part of Thaioil outstanding liabilities are denominated in US dollars and the volatile baht currency affects net profits in the translation of such outstanding liabilities denominated in US dollars into baht. In order to mitigate the long-term impact on the baht, the Company has structured a portion of its borrowings and loans to be denominated in US dollars as a natural hedge to match its capability in servicing the loans affected by the foreign currency translation. To minimize the impact on operations, Thaioil has set up foreign currency deposit accounts and forward contracts to process business transactions and interest payments as well as the principal amounts consistent with our risk management approach.

2. Fluctuation in Interest Rate

The Company is exposed to the risk of interest rate volatility on short and long-term loans which have floating interest rates. US dollar-denominated borrowings are based on LIBOR or SIBOR and baht loans are based on fixed deposit interest rates or MLR or THBFIX floating interest rates of banks or average rates, whichever is specified in the loan agreement. The Company believes that there is a link between the US dollar interest rate and refining margins. Generally, when the economy of the US is strong, oil demand surges and refining margins and interest rates rise. Therefore, fixed rate loans during a period of fluctuating refining margins can expose the Company to higher interest rate risk. However, the impact of interest rate volatility may be reduced by hedging. Under interest rate hedging agreements with financial institutions, the Company and lenders agree to payment of interest and/or the principal amounts according to agreed terms.

3. Long-Term Financial Leverage

Thaioil and subsidiary companies plan to expand operations in future under several projects to sustain growth and add value to the overall business as well as enhance competitive capability in various areas to secure more business opportunities. In practice, despite Thaioil and subsidiary companies closely monitoring and managing business risks, these investments may deviate from plans due to factors outside control, such as the unpredictable domestic and global downturn, changes in the demand and supply of energy, petroleum products and petrochemicals, and sourcing of outside financing. Any of these factors can affect success and project cost.

THAI OIL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED 2009 ANNUAL REPORT MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND

OPERATING RESULTS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Operating Results World oil demand declined in 2009 in the wake of the economic recession following the global financial crisis. Oil prices were severely depressed in the second half of 2008, a trend that continued until the first quarter of 2009.

By the second quarter, prices started to rebound in reflection to improved world economic figures after governments around the world injected cash to stimulate the economy. Dubai crude in 2009, therefore, averaged US$ 62 a barrel, down US$ 32 a barrel from the earlier year. When the economy began to recover, Dubai closed 2009 at US$ 75.4 a barrel, up US$ 23 a barrel from the previous year-end. Thaioil posted a gross integrated margin, excluding the oil stock impact, for 2009 of US$ 4.3 per barrel, down US$ 3.6 per barrel from 2008. This was attributable to declining global oil demand combined with additional refining capacity in the region. When oil prices rebounded in the second half of 2009, Thaioil made a stock gain of US$ 6.1 per barrel, up US$ 1.8 per barrel from the prior year. The Company also realized a consolidated net profit of 12,062 million baht attributable to the integrated management of the Group with the production chain covering aromatics, lube base and solvents and hence enhancing the reliability of profit generation.

Remarks: (1) The gross integrated margin including Thaioil, Thai Paraxylene and Thai Lube Base (2) Excluding the oil stock impact, net profit was 5,651 million baht for 2009 and 11,435 million baht for 2008.

In 2009, the sales revenue of Thaioil and subsidiary companies totaled 284,123 million baht, down 115,002 million baht from the prior year due to sharp falls in average oil prices. Nevertheless, the economic recovery and the good level of gross integrated margin recorded by Thaioil and subsidiary companies contributed to an EBITDA of 21,393 million baht, up 13,444 million baht from the previous year. Net profit for 2009 reached 12,062 million baht, equivalent to earnings per share of 5.91 baht, against the net profit of 224 million baht, or earnings of 0.11 baht per share,

in 2008.

Remark: (1) Net profit by company excludes dividends received from subsidiary companies.

The sharp drop in the average oil price lowered the sales revenue of Thaioil (TOP) in 2009 amounted 274,325 million baht, which was 125,410 million baht lowered from last year. EBITDA, however, rose to 8,663 million baht, up 7,809 million baht from the previous year. Net profit after the financial cost, foreign exchange gain and income tax, therefore, amounted to 3,281 million baht. Thai Paraxylene (TPX) recorded a fall in sales revenue of 6,878 million baht from the prior year to 45,568 million baht partly due to a lower crude oil price. Nonetheless, prices of TPX raw material which linked to unleaded gasoline (ULG) also declined. The product-to-feed margin has increased about 56%. This was attributable to the continuously rising aromatics margin following the expanding Asian economy, especially in China. These factors include the expansion project which was completed in 2008, and doubled the aromatic production, combined to increase EBITDA in 2009 by 5,094 million baht to 8,347 million baht. TPX, therefore, recorded a net profit of 7,091 million baht, against 2,014 million baht from 2008. The sales revenue of Thai Lube Base (TLB) was 16,981 million baht, down 5,233 million baht from the prior year due to the global economic crisis significantly slowing demand down in the first half of 2008, the product-to-feed margin lower to US$ 104 per ton. However, TLB succeeded in growing sales of lube base oil by 12% while bitumen price in 2007 improved significantly in 2008 as a consequence of economic stimulus package of government worldwide especially China and hence accelerate demand. The TLB’s EBITDA was 1,806 million baht falling 32 million baht from 2008. Recorded net profit was 1,006 million baht comparable to 2008. Independent Power (Thailand) (IPT) posted 10,507 million baht in sales revenue, down 172 million baht from 2008 due to poor demand. EBITDA was, therefore, down by 46 million baht to 1,353 million baht. The rise in income tax of 161 million baht from 2008 to 247 million baht is due to the exemption privilege from the Board of Investment expiring in August 2008. As a result, net profit amounted to 570 million baht similar to the previous year.

OPERATING RESULTS

Thaioil Power (TP) reported sales revenue of 3,730 million baht, up 49 million baht compared to the previous year, due to the higher FT tariff.

Thaioil Marine (TM) With the addition of Thaioil 9, delivered in late 2007, and Thaioil 11, delivered in mid-2008,

TM was able to maintain the fleet utilization rate at 94%. TM, therefore, posted sales revenue of 968 million baht, a reduction of only 2% from the earlier year in spite of the economic crisis driving down tanker demand and pressuring freight rates.

2 Basis of preparation of the financial statements

The financial statements issued for Thai reporting purposes are prepared in the Thai language. This English translation of the financial statements has been prepared for the convenience of readers not conversant with the Thai language. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Thai Accounting Standards (“TAS”) and Thai Financial Reporting Standards (“TFRS”) including related interpretations and guidelines promulgated by the Federation of Accounting Professions (“FAP”) and with generally accepted accounting principles in Thailand.

The Company and local subsidiaries have adopted the following revised TAS and TFRS and accounting guidance which were issued by the FAP during 2008 and 2009, which are relevant to their operations, and effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009: TAS 36 (revised 2007) Impairment of Assets TFRS 5 (revised 2007) Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (revised 2007) (effective on 26 June 2009) Accounting Guidance about Leasehold Right (effective on 26 June 2009) Accounting Guidance about Business Combination under Common Control The adoption of these revised TAS and TFRS and accounting guidance does not have any material impact on the consolidated and separate financial statements. The FAP has issued during 2009 a number of new and revised TAS and TFRS which are not currently effective and have not been adopted in the preparation of these financial statements. These new and revised TAS, which are relevant to the operations of the Company and local subsidiaries are disclosed in note 36 to the financial statements. The financial statements are presented in Thai Baht, rounded in the notes to the financial statements to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated. They are prepared on the historical cost basis except as stated in the accounting policies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with TAS and TFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes to the financial statements: Note 4 to the financial statements Acquisitions Note 7 to the financial statements Other investments Note 14 to the financial statements Intangible assets Note 15 to the financial statements Deferred income tax Note 31 to the financial statements Financial instruments

Notes to the financial statements 3 Significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements relate to the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interests in associates. Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for under the purchase method. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Associates Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the income, expenses and equity movements of associates, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the Group’s carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income or expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. (b) Foreign currencies Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Thai Baht at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to Thai Baht at the foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the statement of income.

153

Notes to the financial statements Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at cost in foreign currencies are translated to Thai Baht using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Foreign entities The assets and liabilities of foreign entities are translated to Thai Baht at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the reporting date. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of foreign entities are stated at exchange rates ruling at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign entities are translated to Thai Baht at the average foreign exchange rates ruling during the periods. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in a separate component of equity until disposal of the investments. Where monetary items, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in a foreign entity, foreign exchange differences arising on such monetary items and related hedges are recognised directly in a separate component of equity until disposal of the investment. (c) Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments are used to manage exposure to foreign exchange, interest rate and commodity price risks arising from operational, financing and investment activities. Derivative financial instruments are not used for trading purposes. However, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments. Hedge of future foreign currency transactions Forward foreign exchange contracts hedging future foreign currency transactions are revalued at the reporting date at the foreign exchange rate ruling on that date. Differences on revaluation are recognised in the statement of income. Cross currency swap and interest rate swap contracts Financial assets and liabilities hedged by forward exchange contracts at the reporting date are translated at the contracted forward exchange rates. The differences from translation are recognised in the statement of income. The differences under interest rate swaps are recorded as adjustments to the interest expense relating to the financial obligations in the statement of income. Hedge of Crack Spread and Time Spread Difference between the fixed prices of contracts and the settlement prices are recognised in the statement of income in the period in which the contracts mature.

Notes to the financial statements (d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows comprise cash balances, savings and current accounts, and highly liquid short-term investments. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand are

a component of financing activities for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. (e) Trade and other accounts receivable Trade and other accounts receivable are stated at their invoice value less allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is assessed primarily on analysis of payment histories and future expectations of customer payments. Bad debts are written off when incurred. (f) Inventories Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories is calculated using weighted average cost. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-progress, cost includes an appropriate share of overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs to complete and to make the sale. Crude oil, feedstock and finished and semi-finished oil products Cost of crude oil, feed stock and finished and semi-finished oil products is calculated using the weighted average cost principle. Materials, spare parts and supplies Cost of materials, spare parts and supplies is calculated using the weighted average cost principle. (g) Investments Investments in subsidiaries and associates Investments in subsidiaries and associates in the separate financial statements of the Company are accounted for using the cost method. Investments in associates in the consolidated financial statements are accounted for using the equity method.

Investments in other debt and equity securities Debt securities that the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-tomaturity investments. Held -to-maturity investments are stated at amortised cost, less any impairment losses. The difference between the acquisition cost and redemption value of such debt securities is amortised using the effective interest rate method over the period to maturity.

155

Notes to the financial statements Debt securities and marketable equity securities, other than those securities held for intended to be held to maturity, are classified as available-for-sale investments. Available-for-sale investments are, subsequent to initial recognition, stated at fair value, and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on available -for- sale monetary items, are recognised directly in equity. The exceptions are impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, which are recognised in the statement of income. When these investments are derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised directly in equity is recognised in the statement of income. Equity securities which are not marketable are stated at cost less any impairment losses. Disposal of investments On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount together with the associated cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is recognised in the statement of income. If the Group disposes of part of its holding of a particular investment, the deemed cost of the part sold is determined using the weighted average method applied to the carrying value of the total holding of the investment. (h) Property, plant and equipment The Group’s owned assets Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation Depreciation is charged to the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment (except the power plant of Thaioil Power Company Limited which is depreciated by the units of production method). The estimated useful lives are as follows: Buildings 10-25 years Leasehold improvements 5-20 years Refinery plant and equipment (depreciated over the remaining estimated useful life starting from 1 October 1994) 20 years Lube base oil refinery plant and equipment 16-20 years Paraxylene plant 10-25 years Power plant 25 years Transmission facilities 20 years Machinery, equipment and plant equipment 3-20 years Oil and liquid chemical tankers 10-25 years Furniture, fixtures, office equipment and others 5-10 years Vehicles 5 years No depreciation is provided on freehold land and assets under construction.

Notes to the financial statements ( i ) Intangible assets Goodwill Goodwill in a business combination represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is measured at cost less impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment as described in note

3 ( j) to the financial statements. Customer database Customer database is stated at cost less impairment losses. License fee and computer software License fee and computer software that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives, are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation Amortisation is charged to the statement of income on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives are as follows: License fee 10-15 years Computer software 5-10 years Deferred charges Deferred charges are amortised over the estimated periods to which the benefits relate, which are principally in line with the agreements to which such deferred charges relate. ( j ) Impairment The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date, and as and when indicators of impairment are identified. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income unless it reverses a previous revaluation credited to equity, in which case it is charged to equity. When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognised directly in equity and there is objective evidence that the value of the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in the statement of income even though the financial asset has not

157

Notes to the financial statements been derecognised. The amount of the cumulative loss that is recognised in the statement of income is the difference between the acquisition cost and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the statement of income. Calculation of recoverable amount The recoverable amount of the Group’s investments in held-to-maturity securities and receivables carried at amortised cost is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Receivables with a short duration are not discounted. The recoverable amount of available -for-sale assets is calculated by reference to the fair value. The recoverable amount of a non- financial asset is the greater of the asset’s value in use and fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Reversals of impairment An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is reversed if the subsequent increase in recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets carried at amortised cost and available - for - sale financial assets that are debt securities, the reversal is recognised in the statement of income. For available-for-sale financial assets that are equity securities, the reversal is recognised directly in equity. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods in respect of other non-financial assets are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. (k) Discount on debentures Discount on debentures, comprising the difference between proceeds from debentures issuance and redemption value on maturity, is recognised in the statement of income over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis. (l) Interest-bearing liabilities Interest-bearing liabilities are stated at cost. (m) Trade and other accounts payable Trade and other accounts payable are stated at cost.

Notes to the financial statements (n) Employee benefits Provident fund Obligations for contributions to provident fund are recognised as an expense in the statement of income as incurred. Retirement gratuity fund Obligations for contributions to retirement gratuity fund are computed on the benefit formula at the reporting date and are recognised as an expense in the statement of income. Benefits are payable upon retirement, disability, death or resignation. (o) Provisions A provision is recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. (p) Revenue Revenue excludes value added taxes or other sales taxes and is arrived at after deduction of trade discounts. Sale of goods and services rendered Revenue is recognised in the statement of income when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. No revenue is recognised if there is continuing management involvement with the goods or there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the probable return of goods. Service income is recognised as services are provided. Rental income Rental income from assets is recognised in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Interest and dividend income Interest income is recognised in the statement of income as it accrues. Dividend income is recognised in the statement of income on the date the Group’s right to receive payments is established which in the case of quoted securities is usually the ex-dividend date. (q) Expenses Operating leases Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the statement of income on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Contingent rentals are charged to the statement of income for the accounting period in which they are incurred.

159

Notes to the financial statements Repair and maintenance expenses Expenditure on repair and maintenance is charged to the statement of income in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Expenditure of a capital nature is added to the cost of the related plant and equipment. Finance costs Interest expenses and similar costs are charged to the statement of income for the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to be prepared for its intended use or sale. (r) Income tax Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Risk management is integral to the whole business of the Group. The Group has a system of controls in place to create an acceptable balance between the cost of risks occurring and the cost of managing the risks. The management continually monitors the Group’s risk management process to ensure that an appropriate balance between risk and control is achieved.

Notes to the financial statements Credit risk

Credit risk is the potential financial loss resulting from the failure of a customer or counterparty to settle its financial and contractual obligations to the Group as and when they fall due. The Group has no significant credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties since the Group maintains business with large customers in petroleum and power industries and requires full first class collateral for the rest.

Liquidity risk

The Group monitors its liquidity risk and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

Fair values

The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The following methods and assumptions are used by the Group to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other short-term receivables is taken to approximate the carrying value due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair values of investments in equity securities, which are available for sales, are determined by reference to their net asset value at the reporting date. The fair value of bank overdrafts and short-term borrowings from financial institutions and trade accounts payable and others, are taken to approximate their fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of long-term loans and long-term borrowings carrying a floating rate, which is considered to be market rate, are taken to approximate their fair values. The fair value of non-derivative financial liabilities, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date or based on market price, if available.

215
