Agenda 1Q08 Management Highlights Sales Report GRM & Plant Utilization CAPEX Financial Performance Industry Outlooks Conclusion 2
1Q08 Highlight Overview Finance 1Q08 average crude run at 84%, decreased 2% YoY, 6% QoQ Integrated GRM in 1Q08 at 9.68 $/bbl, slim margin in refinery, shortfall alleviate by our integration nature, petrochemical lifted up GRM. The combination of lower utilization and GRM caused gross profit to decline 20% YoY, 36% QoQ High volatilities in refining markets affected by soaring crude prices, weaken USD, flow of investment money into commodities markets and ongoing geopolitical concerns in a number of producing countries, including Nigeria, Iraq, and Venezuela Tension on crude price to continue as OPEC maintain its production levels despite high prices Cost reduction efforts shown the results, SG&A excluding loss from sales of investment reduced by 186 million Baht Changing accounting policy for inventory from LIFO to weighted average 2007 Dividend totaled 0.30 baht/share or 51.6% payout ratio Redeemed THB 360 million 10-year Baht Bond 3

Conclusions & Strategy 27
Conclusions: On-going improvement initiatives Company Focus on cost efficiency and diversification Exploit benefit of integration to immunize the market fluctuation Market diversification, expand to new promising markets Product diversification, produce more specialty grade petrochemical products Reducing cost of manpower, streamlining work process Aim to trim down selling and administration expense by 10% Industry Upcoming of weak petrochemical margin is uncertain. Approaching oil peak season in Q2 as a driving season and upcoming Olympic games High demand in China and SE Asia Reliance (India) will firstly serve Europe. Fuel oil is forecasted to be in shortage during 2009 10 Forecasted petrochemical margin may deter those new comers. 28
