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

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

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

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

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

measures to allow management to embrace accountability and create an organization that is more efficient and
focused on operational excellence. Professionalism is linked to good corporate governance, which will ensure the
Company is well-run on behalf of shareholders. Investors should note that we have commenced the introduction

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

In order to diversify the portfolio further, the Company will expand further into the non-alcoholic drinks market to
offer a complete range of beverages. The Company has already acquired all the energy drinks and ready-to-drink
(RTD) coffee assets of Wrangyer Beverage Company Limited, in January 2008 and we have informed the market
that we are negotiating for another acquisition in the energy drinks business. The energy drinks market is growing
by approximately 3% per annum and the net profit margins are around 10%, making it an attractive entry point
into non-alcoholic beverages for us.
ThaiBev has one of the largest distribution networks in Thailand and it will have to make more strategic use of this
network over time by offering it to outside organizations. First the Company needs to make it more efficient in, and
more capable of, handling a wider range of products. To achieve this, the Company introduced a logistics project
in August 2007. One of the objectives of which is to introduce five huge distribution centers around Thailand that
would be able to store more products and distribute them to surrounding regions more efficiently.
Legislation
The Alcohol Control Act was passed by parliament in December 2007. A National Committee for Alcoholic Beverage
Policy was set up to provide the framework of how the Act is to be implemented. The final draft of the Act was
approved by parliament on February 13, 2008, and promulgated in the Royal Gazette on February 14, 2008.
Many of the regulations mentioned here were expected by the Company for some time and we are already prepared
to comply with the law.
The Thai Economy
Sites where alcohol may be sold and consumed are now regulated. Alcohol may not be sold or consumed in
temples and other religious places, health-related sites, hospitals and pharmacies. Neither may alcohol be sold at
government sites, hostels and educational institutions. However, shops, private rest areas and clubs situated on
government sites are exempt. Sites that have traditionally been used for eating and drinking are also exempt.
The Thai economy has declined slowly over the course of 2007, but with some positive sentiment towards the
1
end of the year as the election on December 23 approached. Private investment fell 0.8% year-on-year in 2007.
Alcohol may not be sold in petrol or fuel service stations or shops in their vicinity, nor is alcohol allowed in public
parks run by the state.
1
Source: Bank of Thailand estimate
We should note that petrol stations in Thailand have not been selling alcohol in the shops on their premises for
some time due to an earlier Ministerial Regulation.
Annual Report 2007
64
Although the Minister of Health may on occasion proclaim days and times when alcohol may not be sold, this
would be in addition to existing restrictions on times when alcohol may not be sold. Normally alcohol is not
sold the evening before an election, for instance.
It is now forbidden to sell alcoholic drinks to anyone under 20 years old.
It is also forbidden to sell alcohol using automatic vending machines, by hawking or to offer discounts to promote
sales. No gifts, rewards or prizes may be provided to those purchasing alcoholic drinks or by using the redemption
of things like bottle tops, for example. Companies may not offer alcoholic drinks for people to try or to impose
any conditions that oblige the purchase of alcohol.
Regarding advertising, it is now forbidden to advertise alcoholic beverages directly or show the drinking of alcohol.
The industry cannot show the name or brand of alcoholic drinks to accentuate the merits of alcoholic drinks or
entice people to drink. This has been a regulation for some time and the Company already complies with it.
Advertising and public relations of alcoholic beverages are allowed per se but there are exemptions relating to
advertising subject to Ministerial Regulations (that have not yet been issued). These would be limited to information
and news about social contributions without the appearance of any product photos or the packaging of alcoholic
drinks, except for the symbol or logo of the drink or company only. In principle, this implies that advertising may
now be allowed, but the focus must be on meritorious activities, such as how ThaiBev provides support to society.
Examples here would be our continued support for arts and crafts, health, sports, religious activities, youth projects
and other support for the poor and underprivileged that ThaiBev has pursued over the years. Therefore, as long as
the advert does not show bottles or drinking scenes, it should be allowed. We note this will enable ThaiBev to
continue to build its corporate image in Thailand.
65
The Cabinet approved raising the excise tax ceiling from an ad valorem rate of 60% and a specific rate of Baht 400 per
liter of pure alcohol, to an ad valorem rate of 99% and a specific rate of Baht 1,000 per liter of pure alcohol as proposed
by the Minister of Finance. The objective of this ceiling rate increase is to provide flexibility to the Excise Department
in managing future excise tax rates. The matter must be passed by Act of Parliament. Due to the change of government
following the election on December 23, 2007, the Act must be re-submitted to the new parliament for its approval.
On August 28, 2007, the government approved and announced new excise tax increases. The increases were on
white and compound spirits and brandy. The tax increases affected ThaiBev’s white spirits and its three compound
spirit brands; Mungkorn Thong, Hong Thong, Blend 285 and Chinese herbal spirits. The white spirits specific rate
increased from Baht 70 per liter of 100 per cent alcohol to Baht 110 per liter of 100 per cent alcohol, while the
ad valorem rate changed from 25% to 50%. The specific rate for compound and Chinese spirits increased from
Baht 240 per liter of 100 per cent alcohol to Baht 280 per liter while the ad valorem rate remains 50 per cent of the
ex-factory price. For brandy, the ad valorem rate increased from 40 per cent to 45 per cent of the ex-factory price,
while the specific rate remained unchanged at Baht 400 per liter of 100 per cent alcohol. On 14 January 2008,
the Government applied an additional amount of 1.5% onto the excise tax of all alcoholic beverages in order to pay
for the new public broadcasting system.

products and the addition of 1.5% across the board in January 2008

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

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

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

In September 2007, we acquired
United Products Company Limited
(“UPC”) and SPM Foods and
Beverages Company Limited (“SPM”).
Annual Report 2007

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

Overseas
Business
International Beverage Holdings Limited (“IBHL” see: www.
interbevgroup.com) has been established to be the international
arm of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (ThaiBev).
These global operations are managed out of our four regional
headquarters located in Hong Kong, Singapore, North America
and the United Kingdom together with our major Scotch whisky
operations in five distilleries in Scotland.
IBHL is responsible for ThaiBev’s international business and is engaged in activities such
as the production, marketing and distribution of our portfolio of alcoholic beverages including
ThaiBev’s domestically-produced products and Scotch whisky.
We currently export our brands to over 80 countries outside
Thailand managing this directly with our in-house sales and
marketing teams as well as through suitable local distributors where
necessary.
International Strategy
The changing face of the world’s drinks industry will create
opportunities for the development of our company in the years
ahead. Consumers are demonstrating an increasing desire to trade
up to more premium products as well as to experiment with new
and interesting brands and these are just two of the trends that
we believe will help IBHL achieve its strong brand growth targets.
IBHL is incorporated in Hong Kong and currently has subsidiaries in
six countries, as follows:
• InterBev (Singapore) Limited
• InterBev Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.
• InterBev (Cambodia) Co., Ltd.
• International Beverage Holdings Limited USA, Inc.
• International Beverage Holdings (UK) Ltd. and subsidiaries
including Inver House Distillers Limited
• Best Spirits Company Limited
Business Strategy
The Company’s strategy with regard to international expansion remains consistent. The
Company strongly believes that it must adopt an appropriate route to market, wholly
owned or third party depending on our ambitions in that market and market circumstances.
We actively seek out distribution partners. Should our beverages begin to gain traction in
a country, we would then consider, at least in the case of beer, either contract brewing or
purchasing a brewery locally. Where we want to strengthen our presence, we are actively
considering investing in existing businesses or start-up companies. Due to the need to
identify projects that offer good value, any
investment made would have to offer an
internal rate of return in the suitable
amount. In any investment, IBHL will
consider value and potential synergy over
price.
Initially, IBHL is focusing on flagship
brands – Chang beer, Mekhong rum
(branded overseas with the legend: “the
Spirit of Thailand”), its single malt whiskies, Balblair, Old Pulteney, Speyburn and
AnCnoc and blended scotch whiskies such
as Hankey Bannister. IBHL has identified
key focus markets for each brand and is
directing its efforts and resources at these
‘brand market units’. IBHL intends to be
a global player with a comprehensive portfolio
of products.
Annual Report 2007
74
We also believe that local partners and management
are ways of moving into new markets without a steep
learning curve. Key international executives are
internationally sourced, and chosen for their long
experience in the business. We are also assembling a
strong talent pool in the areas of Sales and Marketing
from candidates with wide-ranging experience across
both beer and spirits. We are doing this by recruitment
and through the integration of the Inver House
commercial team. We are at the same time building
a strong platform of marketing expertise.
By employing high-quality, experienced management,
IBHL intends to expand faster than it would otherwise
be able to do. In some markets, strong local partners
will be sought to assist us to work with local
distribution networks and overcome indigent cultural and
business practice hurdles.
We aim to build a strong and unique brand presence
in all our core target markets throughout the world
and 2007 has already seen the repackaging and
successful launch of the iconic Chang Beer and
Mekhong brands on the international stage.
Chang Beer has been repackaged and recently
launched in the major Western markets including USA,
UK, Europe and Australia with a focus on the
premium imported beer market.
Mekhong has also been revamped to appeal to the
more discerning spirits drinkers. It will be sold through
high-end restaurants and cocktail bars in Europe and
North America with the help of its Thai-inspired
collection of cocktail recipes.

Inver House
Recognized Quality
Inver House Distillers Limited (www.inverhouse.com)
is a leading firm of Scotch whisky distillers, headquartered
in Central Scotland, exporting to over 80 countries
worldwide. It is held by IBHL through a holding
company called International Beverage Holdings (UK)
Limited. The company’s principal business is the
distillation and sale of Scotch whisky.
Inver House Distillers recently received (28 th February
2008) the prestigious ‘International Distiller of the
Year’ award at a glittering ceremony held in London.
The Airdrie based company beat off impressive
competition from exceptional companies throughout
the world including Japan, Ireland, Canada, India,
Sweden and the USA.
Inver House Distillers Limited owns five malt distilleries
and markets a number of multi-award winning Single
malt Scotch Whiskies: Old Pulteney, Balblair, anCnoc
(pronounced ‘a-nock’) and Speyburn. It also distills,
blends and bottles a number of Blended Scotch Whisky

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

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

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

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

subsidiaries and recorded the impacts in the period ended December 31, 2007 whereas the previous
appraisals were conducted in 2003. The appraisals resulted net decrease of Baht 2,121.6 million which

From the third quarter of 2007 onwards, the reporting of business segments has been rearranged to present
transactions with external customers more meaningfully. Related business segments that normally conduct
most of their business within the group will no longer be presented separately as in previous periods but
will be allocated to the Company core business segments which consist of Beer/Water, Spirits and Industrial
Alcohol. The segmental information for the same period of 2006 has been restated for comparison with 2007.

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

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

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

IBHL Highlights
International Beverage Holdings Limited
International Beverage Holdings Limited (InterBev) has been established to be the international arm of Asia’s
leading drinks business, the Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (ThaiBev) with an outstanding portfolio of
beverage alcohol brands across spirits, wine and beer categories.
These global operations are managed out of our 4 regional headquarters located in Hong Kong, Singapore,
North America, and the United Kingdom together with our major scotch operation of 5 distilleries in Scotland.
We currently export our brands to over 80 countries outside Thailand, managing this directly with our in-house
sales and marketing teams as well as through suitable local distributors where relevant.
The changing face of the world’s drinks industry will create opportunities for the development of our company in
the years ahead. Consumers are demonstrating an increasing desire to trade up to more premium products as
well as to experiment with new and interesting brands and these are just two of the trends that we believe will help
InterBev achieve its strong brand growth targets.
A successful redesign of core Thai products for key export markets
The Risk Management Committee has assigned relevant offices to constantly monitor and report on new laws and
regulations so that production departments can prepare to modify production processes and successfully comply
with laws and regulations while mitigating potential impacts.
Enactment of a 1999 Thai law against trade monopoly could affect the company’s financial status,
performance, and business opportunities
The Trade Competition Act of 1999 prohibits practices against free trade while empowering the Trade Competition Commission to issue injunctions to dominant operators and unfair operators to refrain from, suspend, or alter
their market shares. Unfair practices include price fixing and making unfair conditions. Since the company is
Thailand’s largest brewer and distiller, with several products occupying leading market shares, it is subject to
complaints from rivals and other parties of unlawful practices. Therefore, the act and accompanying regulations
could harm the company’s financial status, performance, and business opportunities.
The Risk Management Committee has assigned the Office of Legal Affairs to investigate and closely monitor such
law and regulations, and educate other units to prevent wrongdoings.
Thai Beverage Public Company Limited has established a systematic risk management process, with at least
quarterly meetings of the Risk Management Committee designed to review risk levels, issue measures, and approve
contingency outlays for risk management. The objective is to ensure that these risks are accounted for by company
personnel and work plans prudently executed, so that if undesirable events occurred, the damage could be alleviated.
We aim to build a strong and unique brand presence in all our core target markets throughout the world and 2007
has already seen the repackaging and successful launch of the iconic Chang Beer and Mekhong brands on the
international stage
• Chang Beer, Thailand’s number one beer brand, has been repackaged and recently launched in

imported beer market.
• Mekhong has also been revamped to appeal to the more discerning spirits drinkers. It will be sold
through high-end restaurants and cocktail bars in Europe, and North America with the help of its
Thai-inspired collection of cocktail recipes.
Major relaunch of flagship malt whisky brand
Balblair, one of our high-end malt brands, was also successfully repackaged and relaunched during 2007 in our
biggest-ever launch programme to date for a single malt whisky.
The striking new identity has been carefully crafted and will mean the vintages offer a superior choice for informed
whisky drinkers across Europe, North America and the fast growing Asian region.
Inver House Distillers, which was purchased by InterBev during 2007, has benefited from a buoyant Scotch market
as well as a strategic shift towards focusing more on core malt brands. As a result, pre tax profits have risen
significantly from the same period in 2006.

Our People
Our Success
We believe that our people are the most crucial engine
that drives our sustainable growth and future success
and that human capital is one of the critical pillars of
our growth strategy. We aim to develop happy, highlycommitted, and performance-driven teams instilled
with social responsibility spirit. By our definition, a high
performer highly contributes to the success to the
organization and the well-being of society.
Our people will grow together with our business in
competency development and career opportunities. We
have launched the Human Capital Transformation Program
to align our human capital management and development
with our business strategy and long-term direction.
The initiatives of this program will enhance the strategic
alignment of all human capital elements within the
employee lifecycle: workforce planning, career deployment
and management, performance management, reward
management, learning and development, retention
management, and workplace management.
appropriate career and development opportunities.
We also develop a career and development plan for
each workforce group which properly aligns with
business needs and growth.
Career Opportunities
The opportunities for our people are expanding with
our business. With our business expansion, our people
are also provided with greater career opportunities,
not only within our current businesses, but in the
businesses of non-alcoholic beverages as well as
non-beverages across the ThaiBev Group. We are
committed to providing borderless opportunities to our
people. We initiate the “employee exchange program”
with our strategic partners, where our people can obtain
experience and knowledge from working with different
organizations and different people. These are not only
career opportunities, but also learning opportunities
which have proven powerful to our people and our business.
Employee Segmentation
Performance Management
We care for different needs among our different
workforces. We arrange our employees into groups
which represent the nature and characteristics of job
and required competencies. It enables us to develop
human resource management mechanisms to match
the different needs of each workforce while providing
We have recently adopted the key performance
indicator (KPI) system as the key mechanism of our
performance management where the expected
corporate performance was cascaded down to the
operating level. The system has enhanced the strategic
alignment of people performance with corporate
performance as well as a performance-oriented culture.
The process involved senior management and middle
management in managing and driving the expected
performance of the organization, the departments, and
the individuals. A performance monitoring system is
also applied to the implementation of key strategic
initiatives, which strengthens disciplined execution.
Learning and Development
We believe in providing our people with learning and
development opportunities. Along with our growth
strategy, our human resource development plan has
been defined to reflect the required strategy for critical
capabilities. Learning and development is through
knowledge sharing on–the-job training and regular
training session, local and international. We prepare the
next generation of leaders by providing our middle
management with opportunities to explore new
management techniques and practical experiences in
our mini-MBA program. The program was organized and
designed in conjunction with Chulalongkorn University,
Thailand’s top university. We successfully develop
highly-qualified brew masters as well as engineers and
spirit production’s technical team by providing our
people with both in-house and overseas training. Our
people learn from our “continuous improvement program” which allows them to initiate new ideas for
efficiency improvement. All implemented ideas were
collected and maintained in databases to share and
allow others to learn from them. Knowledge can be
passed on throughout the organization which is the
beginning of– a learning organization.
TEAM SPIRIT: THE POWER OF ONE
At ThaiBev, we believe in working as a team. We recognize
the power of unity and the power of our people when they
share and collaborate. The organizational structure,
work processes, and work assignments encourage
teamwork across the organization. In short, our meaning
of teamwork is equal to cross-functional teams. Our
learning and development approach also emphasizes
on how to develop the spirit of teamwork and how to
form teams that work. One of the performance factors
that we use to evaluate our people is the ability to
work as a team and collaborate with others inside and
outside their work units. We aim to continually cultivate
team spirit as our core value. The power of one will be
realized when our people work as an effective team and
we will do our best to make it happen.
A high-performance organization is made up of
high-performing people. At ThaiBev, it is our commitment
to develop happy and highly-competent people who
can fulfill their career aspirations and grow their
potential domestically and internationally.

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

In 2007, ThaiBev implemented several projects under our commitment to “Give back to the Thai
Society”. These projects included “ThaiBev Unites to Fight the Cold”, “Drive Safely with ThaiBev”,
as well as other projects to help flood victims. The ‘ThaiBev Unites to Fight the Cold’ project has
been carried out for eight consecutive years. This year we donated 200,000 blankets to villagers
in 15 northern and northeastern provinces. The ‘Drive Safely with ThaiBev’ project, a joint project
with the Royal Thai Police for the second year in a row, urged motorists to minimize road accidents
and drive properly. As part of the project, safety helmets were given away to motorcyclists
while copies of “Drive Safely with ThaiBev” manual were distributed to motorists in general.
Activities related to education included a joint program
with other members of the Thai private sector to set
up a fund for Thai students and educators who wish
to pursue higher studies at Johns Hopkins University’s Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International
Studies (SAIS), as well as activities to promote Thai
and US relations. In addition, ThaiBev sponsored the
construction of a school building for Wat Hom Kred
School, Sam Phran District, Nakhon Pathom Province.
Other projects and activities included support to
educational funds, school lunches for needy students,
provision for educational equipment and sports
equipment.
On arts & culture, one of ThaiBev’s major projects was the renovation of mural
paintings in the Buddha Saiyas Vihara, or the chapel of the Reclining Buddha, at
Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimonmangkhlaram Rajwaramahawihan. The 150-year-old-plus
paintings here were a prototype of the Rattanakosin Period art. The restoration took
10 years to complete and was ready for public viewing in 2007. The mural paintings,
particularly the ones higher up near the ceiling thus difficult to view, were
photographed and put on exhibit. Incidentally, these photographs appeared in
the 2008 ThaiBev calendar.
The healthcare aspects included the donation of modern medical equipment for
the Chalerm Phra Kiat Sixth-cycle Birthday Anniversary of His Majesty the King
Building, Phra Mongkutklao Hospital, valued at 3,000,000 baht. In addition, the
much appreciated “Chang Clinic” in Kamphaengphet Province has continued to
provide the people in the surrounding community with diagnosis and treatment
by experienced specialists from hospitals in Bangkok and Kamphaengphet who
volunteer their time at the clinic. Other healthcare activities included donation
of ambulances to hospitals, donation of equipment to the mobile prostheses
units of the Maha Vajiralongkorn Foundation and many other activities.
The sports aspects included our active support to football, volleyball, tennis, snooker,
and many other sports of interest to the Thai people, with expectations of improving
the health of Thai youths, sporting skills and future victories in the international arena.
ThaiBev also launched the “ThaiBev… Thai Talent” project in support of talented
and gifted young Thais in various fields. These fields include music, sports,
arts & cultural, and educational. Assorted forms of support are provided, such as
scholarships, travel expenses to participate in tournaments or events in Thailand
and abroad, as well as allowances.
ThaiBev embarked on
the 8th “ThaiBev Unites to
Fight the Cold” project in
which 200,000 blankets
worth 30 million baht
were donated to villagers
in 15 northern and
northeastern provinces.

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

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

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Thai Accounting Standards (“TAS”) including related
interpretations and guidelines promulgated by the Federation of Accounting Professions (“FAP”) and with generally
accepted accounting principles in Thailand.
During 2007, the FAP issued the following revised TAS relevant to the Group’s operations and effective for accounting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007:

The adoption of these revised TAS has resulted in a change in the Company’s accounting policy for interests in
subsidiaries and associates in the separate financial statements of the Company. The effects of this change are
disclosed in note 29.
In addition to the above revised TAS, the FAP has issued during 2007 a number of other new and revised TAS which
are only effective for financial statements beginning on or after 1 January 2008 and have not been adopted in the
preparation of these financial statements. These new and revised TAS are disclosed in note 34.

Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial
instruments are stated at fair value. Movements in fair values are recognised in the consolidated statement of income.
(a) Deferred tax
There is no Thai accounting standard currently effective in relation to accounting for deferred taxes. Whilst not
specifically addressed in Thai GAAP, provisions for income taxes of the Group are typically based on corporate
income taxes currently payable in the period under the Revenue Code of Thailand. The Group does not, therefore,
recognise deferred tax assets and liabilities for the current period.
Under IFRS, provision is made for deferred tax using a balance sheet approach, with deferred tax calculated on
temporary differences, being the differences between the tax and the book values of assets and liabilities. The deferred
tax charge or credit is the change in the period in deferred tax liabilities and assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised

In accordance with Thai GAAP, owned land held to earn rentals is classified as part of property, plant and equipment.
This land is carried at a revalued amount less any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Movements on the
revaluation surplus are reflected in equity.
Under IFRS, owned property held to earn rentals is classified as part of investment property. This is covered by IAS

are charged as an expense as incurred.
For the purposes of disclosure under IFRS, the Group has adopted the cost model for investment property consisting

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

3. Three announcements/report involving with occupying the positions of Directors and Executives
(1) Mr. Panote Sirivadhanabhakdi was appointed as Director of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited to
replace Mr. Paisal Chevasiri who resigned from the position.
The SAP implementation for ThaiBev in this initial phase is slightly ahead of the original schedule and covers more
companies in its scope than that in the proposed plan. In 2007, ThaiBev successfully went live using the SAP system in
32 subsidiaries in Thailand, including sixteen distilleries, one industrial alcohol distillery, five beer and spirits’ agencies,
and 10 related business companies. In addition, ThaiBev is going live with the SAP system in another 3 companies,
including Thai Beverage Logistics Co., Ltd., Cosmos Brewery (Thailand) Co., Ltd. and ThaiBev on the January 1, 2008.
To aid in the uniform understanding and utilization of the standardized processes, ThaiBev plans to extend SAP
implementation to another 15 direct and indirect subsidiaries in Thailand, including recently acquired distillery in 2008.
(2) Mr. Kasemsan Veerakul resigned from the position of Vice President of Office of Corporate Communications
of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited and also resigned from the position of director of subsidiary
companies.
(3) Report of persons occupying a managerial position who are related to a director, CEO, or substantial
shareholder.
4. One announcement of acquisitions and realizations of assets of other companies resulting from acquisitions by
Company’s subsidiary.
In addition, the key sales and accounting information from BC-Accounting systems used in 12 distribution companies
will also be interfaced to the SAP system to better provide integrated view of overall operations in Thailand. The extension
5. Fifty three miscellaneous announcements to either conform to the regulations of the SGX or to give information to
of the project scope in 2008 will mainly be implemented by the ThaiBev IT team with some support from the existing
investors, involving details of capital increases of the Company’s subsidiaries, the change of the name of Company’s
consulting team and its implementation costs will still be within the originally approved budget.
subsidiaries, a summary of business performance results for each quarter for investors, a clarification of news
about the Company, and disclosure of connected transactions among interested persons.
Because of the diversity of ThaiBev’s overseas business, ThaiBev will consider IT investment in these subsidiaries
based on their existing IT system, size of business, local regulations and social environment. Meanwhile, ThaiBev will
continuously improve its financial consolidation process by utilizing the Consolidated Performance Management
System, based on the current SAP implementation in Thailand, to collect key accounting and operational information
from both the SAP and existing systems used in subsidiaries.
