the authority and responsibility for Managing Director and CEO in order that no one has fully unlimited power for
counterbalancing and verifying reasons.
1.4 The Board of Director has assigned a secretary to prepare/collect the invitation letters for meeting
and the minutes of meeting of the board and shareholders in the meeting of 6/2008 on August 14, 2008, and already

in order to add optimal economic value and maximize shareholders� wealth.
Moreover, the company has highly focused on internal control system. Internal control, sufficient risk
management, and verifying system can be used as tools for creating effective and efficient control system that

of conduct in written form in order that executives, managements, and employees of the company and our subsidiaries

significantly affect the operation of the company. Besides, the Board has set the Internal Control Office to set the
operational control system, financial control system, and compliance verifying system to ensure that the main operations
and financial activities are in line with all related rules and be efficient. For independency, counterbalance and
auditing reason, the Internal Control Office has to report directly to the Audit Committee.
4. The meeting of the Board
The Board has to set the meeting periodically and might have extraordinary meeting as needs. Concerned
about fully opinion sharing throughout the board, the CEO has set the sufficient period of time for management to
present and discuss essential issue carefully. The company has to sent the invitation letter for meeting together with
meeting agendas and supplement document to each of the board at least 7 days before the date of meeting. By
doing this, each of the board might have time to consider each issue thoroughly. In addition, each of the board has

Industrial condition and Competition
Global Financial Crisis
Financial Crisis in USA, consequently diffusing to global financial crisis, has begun from either boom or bust
in housing markets causing profit speculation, investment and loaning to/granting credit to high risk borrowers, then
becoming Sub-prime in housing markets in 2007.
The conundrum in financial institutes has been rapidly apparent and progressive since September 2008.
U.S. government had seized the assets of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, ones of the big U.S. housing loan institutes
since September 7, 2008. And a week later, Lehman Brothers, the fourth biggest U.S. Investment Banking, had
declared bankruptcy. It had estimated that more than 100 U.S. financial institutes would be insolvent as well.
The Impact on Thai Economics
As discussed earlier, the problem of financial crisis in U.S., erupted since 2008, consequently diffusing to
global financial crisis, had influenced the economics of Thailand, which relying on exports for more than 70 percent
of GDP. The economics of the partners those have purchased goods from Thailand, whether they are EU, China,
Australia, etc. had slowed down or even step into a recession in several countries. The impact has come to reflect the
economic contraction of the 4th quarters of the year 2008. In fact, it had been expected that GDP would shrink 2.0 to
3.0 percent per year.
Given the export of Thailand, over 75 percent of exports have been industrial goods. The global economic crisis has
obstructed the growth rate of such industrial goods exports, especially the top 3 export goods, namely electronics
industry, electrical appliances and vehicles those have had highly World Demand Growth Linkage Effect. There had
been a signal of economic contraction (or minus growth) in November 2008. And the export volume of the three
industries in November 2008 has shrunk down to -22.9, -16.2 and -3.0 per cent per annum respectively.
The Impact on the automotive industry
The automotive industry is the key industry that is vital to economic growth of Thailand. The government has
made the industry one of the targeted industry, the export has been around 50 per cent of all selling volume. The
structure of the export has consisted of 49.0 percent from van and pickup truck, 37.6 per cent from car, 8.2 percent
from bus and truck, 4.0 percent from motorcycle, and 1.3 percent from bicycle. When considering the value of
exports in the period of Jan � Nov 2008, there has been totaled 16,947 million U.S. dollars, representing a growth rate
of 32.5 percent per year slowed down from year the year 2007 with 24.6 per cent growth per year. The top 4 biggest
key partners of the automotive products have been Australia, Indonesia, EU15 and Japan respectively. During the
first 11 months of the year 2008, there had been a badly worse outlook from the beginning of the year.

Thai automotive industry trends
The production of automobiles in the first quarter of 2009 had been expected to decrease significantly for
the whole industry, resulting from the impact of U.S. financial crisis diffusing around the world. However, in the
second and third quarter, the industry might be recovered. In fact, it has been expected that there will be 1.07 million
vehicles produced, decreasing from the same period of 2008 by 23 per cent. From this amount, there might be
490,000 vehicles sold domestically which has decreased by 21 per cent comparing to the same period of 2008, and
580,000 vehicles sold internationally which has decreased by 25% comparing to the same period of 2008. Motorcycle
44 Annual Report 2008
industry has expected to have 1.67 million vehicle produced, decreasing by 13 per cent comparing to 2008. . From
this amount, there might be 1.5 million vehicles sold domestically which has decreased by 13 per cent comparing to
2008, and 157,000 vehicles sold internationally which has decreased by 4% comparing to 2008.
Type 2009 2008 %Growth
Production 1,070,673 1,394,029 -23.41%
Sale 487,457 615,269 -20.77%
Export 583,216 776,241 -24.87%
However, it has also expected that there will be an opportunity amid crisis for the automotive industry, since
there will have positive factors against the decreasing growth. Thailand might receive special tariff (Generalized
System of Preferences: GSP) from the European Union (EU). As a result, the export of pickup truck that represents
100% or all of the finished vehicle exports to the EU market will be received tax reduction to 6.5% for any engine more
than 2500 CC from the usual 10% tax rate and the import duty for any engine less than 2500 CC might be reduced
from usual rate of 22% to 15.4%, become effective on Jan 1, 2009.
In 2008, there has been free trade between Thailand in cooperation with some countries in automotive
sector such as ASEAN and India. For ECO Car investment projects, although some camps has signaled the slow
down due to the global economic crisis and the shrinkage of purchasing power, such projects has been suitable for
future market. So it has been believed that if the automotive industry is starting better, the small energy-saving vehicle
and alternative energy vehicle will become outstanding and will return as a main line for the development of Thai auto
parts industry. Therefore, there might have the room for the expanding industry as well.
In addition, operators in the form of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) have been trying to expand its
REM market. Automotive parts market is a good market in the bad economic crisis. So it may take advantage from
the domestic manufacturing that guarantees the quality of products is not different from parts of the new car and the
prices may be down due to the economies of scale. In fact, these parts can replace the imported from abroad.
Although the Thai automobile market in the last few years may be found to some stagnation, with the strength of the
basic system of the Thai automotive industry including continuously focus on the industry by the public sector, Thai
automotive industry might continue to be invested in the future.

a long time and the company usually maintains a good relationship with them. Besides, the company has focused on
the production enlargement to other vehicle-parts along with searching for new prospects. The regular customers of
the company are:
Automotive Groups : Toyota / Hino Group, Isuzu /GM Group, Honda Group, Ford & Mazda Group, Mitsubishi
Group, Nissan Group
Electrical Groups : Emerson (Copeland)
Agriculture Groups : Chokechai Agricultural Machinery, Kubota Corporation, Bangkok Komutsu
Yarnapund Public Company Limited 47
Risk Factors
In the auto part manufacturing industry, we can assess the risk factors that could occur and affect the future
operations as follows:
1 Risk for dependence on major customers
Currently, the company has had main revenue from sales of automotive parts to Toyota camp. If the customer
has changes the procurement policy, it might have affected the Company�s operation; however, the company has
had a trusted long-standing relationship with Toyota car camp for more than 30 years. In fact, the proportion of
revenue from Toyota camp had increased from approximately 54 percent of total revenue of the year 2006 to
approximately 61 percent of total revenue year of the year 2007and to approximately 80 percent of total revenue of
the year 2008.
Since the company�s revenue has had com from a few major customers, the company could have taken a
thorough care, jointly developed new products to customers, and together solved the occurring problems or as
requested. This has been evidenced by the continuously growing revenue of the company. In addition, the company
has the continuously expanding customer policy to reduce the dependence on major customers.
2 Risk for the fluctuation of material price
The main material the company used in vehicle production has been steel, constituting 83 per cent of the
total sales of 2008, mostly from the import which has had intense price fluctuation and foreign exchange instability.
The Main factors that have affected the volatility of steel prices have been demand conditions - both in the region and
in the global market, which these factors have been beyond the control of the company and also affected the profit
margin ratio in the light of high price compensating of increasing material costs.
However, the company has purchased steel, which is the main raw materials from two major suppliers,
which are subsidiaries of Toyota group, namely Toyota Tsusho (Thailand) Co., Ltd. and YS Pund Co., Ltd., constituting
68 per cent of total steel material costs. Although the Company has had the ability to order steel materials from
several sources, the company has kept buying from these sources because of their products of quality, reasonable
prices and terms of trade. In addition, the company has been able periodically (every 6 � 8 months) to adjust the
price in case of there has been the change of material price and this adjustment has been able to compensate
retroactively. If the actual steel price has been greater than the initially agreed price, the company has been able to
be compensated in the form of increase or decrease the debt that is a formality in the automotive industry. The
adjusted cost of raw materials will reduce the impact of the fluctuations in raw material prices.
48 Annual Report 2008
3 Financial Risk
• Currency Risk
The company has had low currency risk because most of our business transaction has occurred
in Thailand with mainly in Baht currency.
• Interest Rate Risk
The company has had interest rate risk for having debt from financial institutions as of December
31, 2008 amount 7,100 million baht with MLR (Minimum Loan Rate) interest rate. The company has believed that the
volatility of future interest rates might not affect our operations. Indeed, our debt to equity ratio (D / E) was 3.2 times in
2008.
• Risk for providing credit
From conservative credit policies accompany with the strong and stable financial position of
our large multinational clients who have had financial support from their parent in foreign countries, the company has
had the risk for providing credit; it has been unlikely that the company might have a significant damage from the
possible uncollectible though. Moreover, the company has sufficiently estimated the allowance for uncollectible by
assessing the ability to pay debt of the outstanding receivables at the end of year.
4 Risk for changes in government policies
Since our business is related to both the manufacturing and selling of automotive parts, the company could
be affected both positively and negatively by changes in tariffs and trade protectionism. For example, the decrease
in import duty of automotive parts might negatively affect the competitive ability of the company by enabling the
foreign competitors to compete with price and cost more comfortably and vice versa. The current government has
agreed with ASEAN countries on the liberalization of the automotive industry under the treaty of trade liberalization
under the AFTA agreement with Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT). The AFTA will reduce tariffs for auto
parts produced within ASEAN to 0-5 per cent and it has been expected that the partners within ASEAN countries will
take advantages of this agreement to increase the inter-trade. Although this treaty might help the company in export
to the partners within ASEAN, in turn, the foreign competitors can increase their sales in domestic markets as well. In
addition, the political uncertainty in the country may also affect the stability and continuity of government policies and
other government projects such as the project of promoting automotive industry with the country�s long-term energy
plan; including ECO vehicle project, NGV gas combining with gasoline vehicle project, hybrid vehicle project, gasohol
E85 vehicle project, etc., which might be significant to the setting of direction of Thai automotive industry. In fact, the
uncertainty might have slow down such essential vehicle projects, especially the ECO vehicle project that might have
affected the volume of the export of Thai vehicle and auto parts. However, in preparing our company to handle the
condition of more severe competition and political uncertainty, the company has had to design and develop new
products and continuously decrease our costs in order to make our prices competitively reasonable.
Yarnapund Public Company Limited 49
5 Risk of changes in the economy
Company has realized that the more severe and chronic economic crisis at present has directly and
unavoidably affected the business operations in 2009. As a result, all agencies have a joint meeting to identify the
potential related risks with prospective solving approaches to alleviate such damages and the potential approaches
can be summarized as follows:
Risk Solving Approaches
1. Marketing
1.1 Decreasing Revenue 1.1 Seek for the new customers other than vehicle group
1.2 Uncollectible 1.2 Divide the receivable port folio into subgroups enabling our collection
employees to closely follow up
2. Manufacturing
2.1 The redundant number of 2.1 Combine the separated job into the same one, request
employees in production line the outsourced work to be in-house producing, and retain
the outstanding employees by efficient performance evaluation
3. Human Resources
3.1 The redundancy of total 3.1 Lay off / reduce temporary staffs and offer Early Retirement program
employees
4. Financial
4.1 High production cost 4.1 The purchasing department has to negotiate and seek for
the more reasonable material suppliers, while the production department
has to increase Yield Ratio and reduce waste and defective units
4.2 Lack of liquidity 4.2 Negotiate for extend our credit period
6 Risk for having only one major executive
The Phanpanit Family has been the main and important executives of the company. They have
been not only the founders and had experience in automotive industry for more than 50 years, but also have had the
good relationship with the major customer, Toyota Group. So far, the Phanpanit have been major executives and
responsible for customers finding. Without the family, the company might have had problems in retaining existing
customers and finding the new ones. Nevertheless, the Phanpanit has a majority of 43.37 per cent of shares, so the
family might have enough motivation to drive the company to grow continuously and might not leave the company. In
addition, the family has devoted all endeavors to create professional management team in order to help the company
in running all businesses such as creating marketing team for both domestic and international market, studying
production plan of many vehicle manufacturers, presenting our products to vehicle manufacturers and auto part
designers of various camps, etc. Due to the controlling share of 43.37 per cent, the Phanpanit has been able to
control the direction of the company for almost aspects, except for legal and regulation issues that have been set to
receive three-fourth of the voting. Although other shareholders might not oppose against or check over and
50 Annual Report 2008
counterbalance the family�s direction, the company has set the suitable organizing structures by selecting only high
potential management and set the authorities for each and every executive clearly and transparently. Especially for
the interrelated transactions, the related parties, whether they are major shareholders or top executives, might not
have the right to vote for those cases.
7 Risks of competition in the automotive parts industry
The company has primarily operated in producing automotive parts; in fact more than 95 per cent of the total
revenue of our company in the year 2006, 2007, and 2008 has come from automotive parts. In automotive parts
industry, there have been more competitors from both domestic and international companies who have moved
production base into Thailand. But the company has believed that we might maintain our leading status in the
industry, given the following reasons:
• The company has integrated and standardized manufacturing processes, from tooling to metal rolling
process.
• New foreign competitors settling the production base in Thailand might require high investments and
long-term preparation related to factories, machineries, and personnel.
• The company has received invaluable technical support and advice from the developers and copyright
owners for the world�s leading manufacturers of automotive parts and components including Sango Co., Ltd. (Japan),
Tenneco Automotive Inc. (U.S.A.), Inter Seiko Co., Ltd. (Japan), Shonan Unitech Co., Ltd. (Japan) and Drivesole
Worldwide INC.
• The company has been a part of the IMV project in its major customers to establish a research and
development center in Asia Pacific with the development of human resources and technology transfer in order to
design and develop products to be most suitable for our customers� needs.
• In vehicle industry, the vehicle manufacturers have been likely to order the identical parts from the same
and only automotive part producer during the whole part life of the vehicles, averaging 4 to 7 years. Moreover, it is
more likely that the vehicle manufacturers might order the auto parts of the new car model from the existing supplier
due to their familiarity, good quality, technical expertise, and on-time delivery.
From these reasons, the company has convinced that it is difficult for other entrepreneurs to compete with
our low cost and also difficult to penetrate our existing customers.
8 Security, environmental and community risks
Running automotive parts manufacturing business might have risks of harm and losses that negatively affecting
the company, so we have realized the severe of the possible risks by clearly setting the policy about safety, environment
and community. The company has implemented ISO 14001 Version 2004 to cope with environment issues and
committed to meet or even exceed standards or requirements of various laws and regulations. We have focused on
every step of the operation ranging from manufacturing infrastructure design, manufacturing process, production
Yarnapund Public Company Limited 51
control system, to surveillance and control system; and also updating these system frequently. We have also
emphasized on increasing employees� potentials by providing safety and environmental training regularly in order
that the employees might learn how to prevent any accident from working, how to work safely, and how to suitably
solve problems in exigencies. In addition, in order to empower the employees to seek and assess hazards as well as
improving the working condition to fit the safety standards, the company has also continually promoted many activities
that preventing safety and environmental risks such as the training about fire extinguish and fire evacuation. This
includes performing the activities associated with the legal requirements and other regulations strictly and activities
that promote safety awareness and occupational health both inside and outside the workplace.
For environmental social and community performance, the company, required by law, has measured and
monitored the air quality in the working area, the quality of wastewater and air discharged to the outside in order to
control air quality not to harm the employees and nearby community health. The company has also implemented
environmental pollution management applications such as installing hazardous chemical vapor treatment system,
installing wasted water treatment from manufacturing process, activities to reduce waste from manufacturing and
general processes, etc. In addition, the company has used saving-energy technologies and encouraged the employees
to save resources in various ways in order to minimize bad effects to the environment. By doing this, the company
has printed the manual identifying the responsibilities of each related departments and setting the step-by-step
solution to safety and environmental problems in any area. Besides, the management has to join monthly assessment
of the factories in order to give any useful advice to the operations and also ensure that each and every of them is
complied with the setting standards.
9 Risks of quality control non-compliance to customers� setting
Since the auto part manufacturing has various complex parts from diverse part producers, the identical
quality is one of the most important factors that entrepreneurs should consider. The defective quality means serious
safety issue for customers and non-standardized parts might negatively affect both financial and image of the
manufacturers. Thus, the set of quality standards has been set for the basis in assessing quality of auto part
manufacturers.
However, to ensure that the product quality standards have been met in all stages of production and be able
to increase competitive advantages in both domestic and international, the company has focused on the development,
standardization and controlling of quality in manufacturing, as seen from the company has implemented the TS16949
and Q1 quality which is a quality system used for production to clients in Auto Alliance (Thailand) group.
