Marketing and Competition
Soft Drinks
The production and distribution of soft drinks is a major industry requiring modern machinery for production and quality control,
and large numbers of personnel for transport and delivery of products to customers. The business is important in supporting businesses
throughout an extensive value chain including those that produce sugar, glass bottles, plastic bottles, plastic cases and bottle caps.
Competition is a year-round factor in the carbonated soft drinks industry, but growth in this product category is not as high as
other beverages due to new entrants in the market and changes in consumer behavior in favor of drinking water, fruit juices, mineral
water and milk products. These products are now competing directly with carbonated soft drinks.
The keys to success in the soft drinks industry are the ability to offer products manufactured to high-quality standards, providing
good service and responsiveness to consumer demands. Opportunity in the beverages industry depends on the increase in distribution
channels and expansion in the business of established customers, such as large wholesale and retail outlets, supermarkets, convenience
stores and quick serve food outlets. Ultimately, the growth rate in the industry is largely determined by the economic fundamentals of
the country in which that industry operates.
The prospects for the growth and development of an individual soft drink enterprise are impacted by its ability to execute
marketing activities, including advertising, sales promotions, packaging design and the introduction of new flavors/variants that attract
consumers. All of these efforts can contribute to the expansion in the business.
Competition in the soft drink business has intensified in terms of pricing, emphasizing higher volumes and lower prices. In 2009
Serm Suk introduced several new non-returnable package sizes including 460 ml, 480 ml, 1.2 litre and 1.5 litre and combined them with
an aggressive pricing plan. This move has continued to be well received by the market in 2010, increasing soft drinks sales significantly.
In 2010, the Company stimulated soft drinks sales by launching a wide range of sales promotional activities. The Company also
introduced new flavors of soft drinks including Pepsi Cheer in recognition of the football season and Mirinda Orange Banana. Sales of
soft drinks increased 7%, which is the highest annual increase in five years.
Crystal Drinking Water
The success factors of Crystal drinking water are product quality, customer service and engaging marketing activations. These
factors are critical in the drinking water market, where a plethora of producers compete with no price differentiation. Today, in
addition to the Company’s Crystal drinking water and the products of other major players, there are an increasing number of entrants
to the market leading to consumer confusion and a cluttered retail environment. This profusion of new brands in the market has had a
significant impact on sales of drinking water. Despite strong competition in the drinking water business, sales of Crystal drinking water
continued to show very strong growth with a 15 percent increase of its sales volume last year.
The success of Crystal is attributed to its high quality including certification from NSF International, an international audit agency
that inspects and certifies quality standards of bottled drinking waters. Crystal is the first bottled drinking water in Thailand to have
received this certification.

Lipton Ice Tea
When Unilever Thai Holdings Co., Ltd., one of Thailand’s largest producers and distributors of consumer products, entered the
ready-to-drink tea market in Thailand with its Lipton Ice Tea, in both cans and bottles, it chose to employ Serm Suk’s expertise in the
soft drinks industry as both a producer and nation-wide distributor. Serm Suk was appointed as the licensed manufacturer and sole
distributor of Lipton Ice Tea. This made Serm Suk the first truly integrated beverage company in Thailand. Various promotional activities
were organized jointly by Unilever and Serm Suk resulting in the rapid growth in Lipton Ice Tea sales.
In 2004, PepsiCo and Unilever entered into a global joint venture, Pepsi Lipton International Ltd., to promote the sale of Lipton Ice
Tea primarily through the Pepsi bottling system. Serm Suk continues to manufacture and distribute Lipton Ice Tea in returnable bottles
and cans, but does so now under the authority of Pepsi Lipton International Ltd. This is another step forward in Serm Suk’s relations with
PepsiCo to co-operate and develop opportunities connected to non-carbonated beverages.
Lipton Ice Tea is available in 10 oz. and 15 oz. returnable bottles and 350 ml. 450 ml. and 1 Litr PET bottles, during 2010 Lipton
grew by a strong 18%. The bottling of this product is done by Serm Suk Beverage Co., Ltd., a subsidiary company of Serm Suk, while the
distribution continues to be handled by Serm Suk Public Co., Ltd.
Gatorade Sport Drink
The Company has been appointed by Strokely-Van Camp Inc. as its sole manufacturer and distributor in Thailand for
Gatorade Sport Drink, the world’s number one sport drink. Gatorade is a highly recognized and popular sports drink brand. Gatorade is
scientifically formulated to offer excellent absorption without carbonation and good taste, which makes it ideal for athletes and anyone
who loses fluids through perspiration. Gatorade currently has two flavors, lemon and grape and is distributed in a new 350 ml and the
500 ml PET bottles. Gatorade sales grew by 10% in 2010.
Tropicana Twister Fruit Juice
Another step towards being a total beverage company was the launch of 14% fruit juice under the Tropicana Twister brand. This
product is manufactured by Serm Suk Beverage Co., Ltd. and distributed by Serm Suk Public Co., Ltd. Tropicana Twister, orange flavor,
is available in 250 ml. returnable bottles as well as 250 ml. non-returnable glass bottles and 350 ml. PET bottles. Tropicana Twister with
pulp is available in 250 ml. non-returnable glass bottles and 350 ml. PET bottles to extend the brand franchise. Tropicana Twister is
another alternative for consumers who wish to purchase refreshing and healthy products.
Red Carabao
In October 2002, the Company was appointed the distributor of the Red Carabao energy drink by Carabao Tawandang
Co., Ltd. In 2010, sales of Red Carabao achieved the highest growth with strong support from Carabao Tawandang, Co., Ltd. in the areas
of advertising, sales promotion and product development, making Red Carabao, a well-established brand that has received sustained
consumer acceptance.
Oishi Green Tea
With the growing popularity of green tea, the Company was appointed the distributor of Oishi green tea for Oishi Trading
Co., Ltd. beginning in November 2005, for traditional trade channel. In the face of increasing competition, Oishi has enjoyed ongoing
sales growth every year. In 2010, sales of Oishi were up 8%.

4. RISK FACTORS In running its business, the Company has encountered several internal and external risk factors which directly or indirectly impact
the Company’s performance and financial status as well as its efforts to achieve its goals. The risk factors are as follows:
BUSINESS OPERATION RISKS:
There are several risk factors to ongoing business growth and profitability.
• Pricesandsufficiencyofingredientsandpackaging
Sugar, one of the key ingredients of the Company’s products, is controlled and regulated by the Government. The local
sugar price increased by Baht 5 per kilogram in May 2008. The new price was higher than global market price and this
had a significant impact on the Company’s product costs and operating results. The global price has increased even more
during 2009 due to tight sugar supply. Consequently, it led to concerns of possible supply shortages if the global sugar
supply situation continues. In 2010, the agricultural goods crisis was worsened due to climatic change. This situation
has led to insufficient global sugar supplies. The Company has contracted for the volume of sugar amount required for
production with its suppliers to ensure access to enough sugar to reach the Company’s annual sales target.
PET Bottle: Given the growing use of non-returnable products. including beverages in PET bottles, the price of PET
has been another major cost of the Company. Fluctuating oil prices have directly affected the PET price. In 2010, global
cotton yields were insufficient and subsequently polyester fiber has been used as a substitute in the textile industry. The
ingredients used in the production of polyester fiber are the same as those used to produce the plastic pellets used in PET
bottles, subsequently increasing production costs.
In addition to the aforementioned sugar and PET, other material prices, such as metal crown caps and cans vary in accor-
dance with the prices of steel and aluminum sheets. Some packaging has been redesigned done to ease the cost burden.
• Wages: The increase in basic wages announced by the Government has increased the Company’s costs of production
and operation. The shortage of labor in some areas, especially industrial estates or nearby communities was a problem.
Personnel development and operating adjustments have been used to increase the Company’s operating efficiency and
mitigate the impact of increased wages and a tight labor market.
• Excisetaxrate:The excise tax rate was a major external cost and is regulated by the Government. An adjustment of the
tax rate and basis of calculation was a significant risk factor. A team was assigned to deal with the relevant government
agencies and provide them with necessary information.
• Petrol price: The fluctuation in diesel prices has directly influenced the cost of transportation and distribution and
indirectly impacted other material prices such as PET bottles, cans, and metal crown caps. Political instability in several
oil producing nations has led to concerns about global petrol prices and supply. To minimize this risk, reduction of diesel
usage has been set as a key performance indicator and other alternatives have been closely studied by a dedicated team.
• Consumerbehavior: Given a more diverse range of beverages available and the change in consumer behavior towards
non-carbonated soft drinks, juices and functional drinks, the Company has responded with Crystal drinking water and a
variety of non-carbonated drinks. The increasing sales of these products have increased the contribution of non-carbonat-
ed products to the Company’s results.
• Climaticconditions:The intensity of changes to Thailand’s climate over the last several years has had significant impacts
on the Company’s business. The flooding in many provinces between September – early November 2010 had negatively
impacted the Company’s sales and expenses.
• Changeofgovernmentalpolicies for tax collection, price control, business laws and industrial regulations also lead to
uncertainty and risks to the Company’s operating and investment decisions.
To soften negative impact, the Company has emphasized on cost saving and expense control, revisiting and improving
working procedures to generate greater efficiency and productivity in all working units.
Risk Factors
11
Serm Suk Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries
SERM SUK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2010
PRODUCTION RISKS:
Due to the heavy investment in plant and machinery in the beverage industry, the Company depends on production with mass
volume and high efficiency to break-even. The seasonality of the business, with its peak period in the summer, also adds complexity
to the planning of production schedules and investment so as to avoid under-capacity during peak season and over-capacity for the
rest of the year. In addition, the sharp increase in demand for Crystal drinking water has led to the need to invest in additional drinking
water lines.
MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION RISKS:
The distribution of soft drinks and beverages still relies heavily on direct sales to customers, requiring the ability to provide
fast and reliable service and high returns. To operate the business, the Company closely followed the movement of its competitors
and adapted itself to changes in the market by maintaining an effective distribution network and qualified personnel. To retain and
motivate good employees is another challenge for the Company.
In addition, the Company needs to maintain a well-defined operational plan and accurate and updated information to be used
as management tools for decision-making. Investment in IT systems and qualified employees to implement and maintain these systems
is needed.
FINANCIAL RISKS :
• CreditControlandCollection:the Company has to exercise tight control over collections and credit while constantly
following-up on debts via the credit department and the management. In a situation of economic downturn or financial
crisis, which will adversely affect the economy, the Company will be more cautious before extending credits with more
stringent in following-up on debt repayments.
• Currency and Exchange Risks: Currency and exchange risks have a certain impact to the Company’s operating
costs. The Company has foreign currency liabilities and commitments that are limited to the import of new machines,
equipment and spare parts. The majority of the Company’s spending is transacted in the local currency.
• Riskfromnon-compliancetoagreementsbycounterpart: major agreements that are entered into by the Company
are;
The agreement related to the production and distribution of reliable products including carbonated beverages, Lipton
ready-to-drink tea and Tropicana Twister juice beverages. During the course of business operations, the Company did not
experience any major violation of its agreements.
In 2010, the audit committee reviewed (1) the Exclusive Bottling Appointment Agreement between Sermsuk Public
Company Limited (the “Company”) and Pepsi Co., Inc. and Seven-up International (“Pepsi”) entered into in 1998, under
which the Company is obligated to purchase concentrates from PepsiCo.,Inc. for manufacturing and bottling certain
CSD product items i.e. the products under the trademark of Pepsi, Pepsi Max, Pepsi Twist, Mirinda, Seven-Up, Mountain
Dew and Club, as well as (2) the Agreement for Cooperative Advertising and Marketing Principles between the Company
and Pepsi-Cola (Thai) Trading Co., Ltd. (“COOP”) entered into in 1997, collectively referred to as (the “Agreement between
the Company and Pepsi”). Given the fact that the Agreements between the Company and Pepsi were entered into
beyond a decade ago whereby the prevailing economic context has been prompted to evolve through ups and downs in
business cycles, both locally and globally, and differ substantially from the relevant factors constituting the current setting
of economic landscape. On 19 February 2010, the Independent Directors and audit committee thus cited in the report
and considered it appropriate to review whether the facts or factors used as a basis for determining the prices or terms
under the Agreement between the Company and Pepsi at the time have materially changed in substance. This is for
the independent Directors and audit committee to recommend the Board of Directors or executives of the Company as
course of proper actions for immediate situation and operational status facing the Company. Thereafter, the Extraordinary
General Meeting (EGM) of Shareholders of the Company No.1/2010 resolved to approve for the Board of Directors and

persons empowered by it to negotiate for amendments to the Agreements in order to have better prices and terms and to
prepare a Future Business Plan of the Company as part of consideration whether to accept the prices and terms that result
from the negotiation between the Company and Pepsi. Then, the Company shall call an EGM of shareholders to approve
on one of the followings (1) An approval for the Company to amend the Agreements between the Company and Pepsi on
prices and terms resulting from the negotiation, or (2) An approval for the Company to proceed with the Future Business
Plan.
At the EGM of Shareholders No. 1/2011 on 15 February 2011, the meeting resolved to approve the Company to proceed
with the Future Business Plan (see detail in Section 9 Other Information Clause 9.2)
The Company received confirmation from Pepsi on 1 March 2011 to enter into new agreements with the essence
according to the resolution in EGM of Shareholders mentioned in clause 9.2. The new Agreements between the
Company and Pepsi must be entered into by 31 March 2011.
Regarding marketing support agreements with key customers, the management has carefully reviewed the content,
terms and conditions in the agreements before signing. The sales administration team also closely monitors compliance
with these agreements throughout the contract periods.
For purchase or service contracts, the Company would make settlement when payments become due, or only after the
receipt of goods or the rendering of services. For construction or installation agreements, final payment would be made
only after receiving bank guarantees to safeguard the Company from any damages after the end of contracts. With such
measures, the Company is well protected against risks from non-compliance to agreement by counterparts.
• InterestRateRisk:Currently, the Company and its subsidiaries operate as debt-free entities. In the future, if loans are
required for business expansion, interest rate movements may be a risk factor which the Company will need to consider
and evaluate in order to minimize the cost of funds before making any investment decision.
In addition to the aforementioned factors, there may be additional potential factors such as local political crises, environmental
regulations or others that may have a negative impact on the Company’s business.

(2)NominationandAppointmentofDirectors
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for the selection of qualified and experienced
individuals for the Board of Directors. These are then considered by the shareholders and elected as appropriate.
The Board of Directors is elected by the shareholders at a General Meeting according to the Company’s
Articles of Association, which set forth the following procedures:
1) A Shareholder shall have a number of votes which is equivalent to the number of shares held by him/her;
2) Each Shareholder may exercise all the votes he/she has to elect one or more persons as Directors, but he/she may not split
his/her votes among any such persons;
3) The persons receiving the highest number of votes in respective order shall be appointed Directors. The number of
Directors will depend on the requirements set at such time. In the event that a number of persons receive an equal
number of votes for the last directorship, resulting in the number of Directors being more than is required at such time, the
Chairman of the meeting shall have the deciding vote.
If a directorship becomes vacant for any reason other than by rotation, the Board of Directors shall elect a person, who is
qualified and does not have any prohibited characteristics as provided in Sections 68 of the Public Limited Company Act B.E. 2535, as a
director to fill the vacancy. The election shall take place at the subsequent Board of Directors’ meeting unless the remaining term of the
director is less than 2 months. The Director who fills the vacancy shall retain his office only for the remaining term of the office of the
Director whom he replaces. For these purposes the resolution of the Board of Directors shall require not less than three-fourths of the
votes of the remaining directors.

The Board of Directors’ meeting No. 4/2006 held on June 13, 2006 passed a resolution approving the establishment of a new
long-term incentive program to the Company’s executives (Phantom Plan) replacing the Executive Stock Incentive Plan (ESIP) of which
the final allotment for its 5th year was completed in 2005. The new incentive program is a 5 year program covering 2006 – 2010
giving each executive the non-transferable incentive units calculated as a fixed percentage of salary divided by the conversion price.
The conversion price is set at the earnings per share of the year prior to the grant date multiplied by approved target growth and
a tenfold price earnings ratio. The incentive payment will be made in the form of cash payment to each executive 3 years after the
granting date of the incentive units. The payment will equal the number of incentive units multiplied by the redemption price whereas
the redemption price is calculated from the 3 year average EPS multiplied by 10 times of the price earnings ratio. The second payment
of incentives was paid in 2010 and the third payment will be paid in 2011.

(4) Corporate Governance
The Company’s Board of Directors consists of 13 members elected by the resolution of the Shareholders’ meeting as mandated
by the Company’s Articles of Association. The Board of Directors appoints the Chairman of the Board and the President and Chief
Executive Officer. The President and Chief Executive Officer is authorized to manage the Company’s business under usual business
norms and the direction from the Board of Directors. Seven directors from the Board are authorized Directors whose signatures,
together with the Company seal, will legally bind the Company.
A Board of Directors meeting is held once every 2 months. However, in order to resolve any urgent issues, a special meeting may
be called as necessary. In 2010, there were total 14 meetings.
The Board of Directors appoints an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee. The composition and responsibility of these committees is set out under Item 12 of the 15 Principles of Good Governance.
The Board of Directors exercises its managerial role through the review of management reports made at Board of Directors
meetings as to the Company’s operations and performance, compared to the operating plan and performance of the previous year.
Moreover, the Board’s approval or ratification is required for the implementation of important policies and projects, for example,
projects involving substantial investment, transactions with related parties, etc.
The Board of Directors is committed to adhering to the Code of Best Practices for the Directors. Review and scrutiny of the
Company management has been carried out regularly to ensure compliance with laws, the Company’s objectives and regulations, and
the resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting, with due care for the Company’s benefits and responsibility to the shareholders.
As required by the Securities Exchange Commission and Stock Exchange of Thailand that all listed companies disclose their
compliance with the 15 principles of good governance, the Company summarizes its compliance status as follows:
1. Policy on Corporate Governance: The Board of Directors Meeting has approved the Company’s Corporate Governance
Policy as follows:
The Board of Directors believes in the principles of good corporate governance and recognizes its importance in strengthening the trust
of its shareholders, its stakeholders and the public at large, and increasing shareholder value. The Board of Directors is thus committed to
compliance with corporate governance guidelines issued by the regulatory bodies that govern the operations of public companies, and to the
implementation of such other standards that are appropriate to the proper conduct of the business of the Company.
2. Shareholders – Rights and Equitable Treatment: The Company encourages shareholders to exercise their legal
rights, such as rights to receive their share of profits in the form of dividends, rights to freely transfer the Company’s stock, rights
to access the Company’s news and information, rights to attend and vote in the shareholders’ meetings. To ensure shareholders’ access
to updated news and information, the Company announces its operating results and important information to the shareholders via the
Securities Exchange of Thailand and on the Company’s website. For each shareholders’ meeting, the Company will send shareholders
an invitation letter at least fourteen days before the meeting, setting out the meeting agenda and including the supporting documents
(via the Company Registrar), so as to provide Shareholders enough time to review the detailed information. The invitation letter and
other Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting materials will also be posted on the Company’s website. The Company also publishes the
Shareholder invitation letter in a daily newspaper, both Thai and English, 3 days before the meeting.
In 2010, Annual General Meeting of Shareholders was held on April 20, 2010.
3. Stakeholders’ Rights: The Company recognizes the Stakeholders’ rights and the protection of their interests in the Company
as per the following policies:

7. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND EXPLANATION
Assets Composition and Capital Structure
The Company’s assets shown in the consolidated financial statements mainly consist of fixed assets such as land, buildings,
machinery and equipment (54 percent of total assets), inventories (18 percent), cash, bank deposits, and short-term investment
(11 percent), accounts receivable (9 percent), and other assets for the balance (8 percent).
The liability to equity ratio is 1 to 2.8 indicating the strong financial position of the Company. 25 percent of total liabilities are
deposits for bottles and cases whereas accounts payable and other payables represent 53 percent, accrued expenses and corporate
income tax payable 14 percent, and other liabilities 8 percent. The capital structure consists of Baht 266 million paid-up capital, Baht
1.342 billion premium on share capital, Baht 3.656 million surplus on land revaluation and retained earnings of Baht 4.733 billion.
Operating Results
Net profit for 2010 is stated in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Statement at Baht 467.9 million, an increase of Baht 114.3 million
from the previous year. The major reason for the increase in profit was the increase in sales volume yielding an increase of Baht 337.8
million gross profit margin. Selling and administrative expenses grew by Baht 198.0 million due to rising staff expenses and higher
diesel prices. The Company has undertaken the cost control and efficiency improvement program in relation to product costs and
lowering selling and administrative expenses.
Sales revenues of Baht 21.976.7 billion in 2010 increased by Baht 2,282.3 million or 11.6 percent over 2009. This was the result of
promotional activities, the launching new value packages and a long period of warm weather. Changes of consumer behavior toward
alternative beverages, including fruit juice, functional drinks and more players in the industry continued to be key challenges. The
Company added several new products and organized advertising and sales promotion campaigns to stimulate consumer demand.
During the year new product flavors including Pepsi Cheer and Mirinda Orange Banana were launched. Further, several new package
sizes that were introduced in 2009 to attract value oriented consumers including 460 ml., 480 ml., 1.2 litre, and 1.5 litre continued to
receive a positive consumer response in 2010. The Company supported advertising and sales promotions through a range of media
including television, newspapers, billboards, and posters as well as sales promotional activities such as lucky draws and discounts.
Other income of Baht 147.8 million in 2010 rose by Baht 49.8 million, or 50.7 percent from last year.
Cost of sales of Baht 16.813.9 billion, increased by Baht 1,944.5 million or 13.1 percent, due to incremental sales volume and
the growth in each product. Another factor that increased costs was the incremental cost of fuel. Several cost control and efficiency
improvement measures were continued, such as the reassigned production line and manning in order to improve efficiency and the
change of packing format in order to reduce costs but maintain product quality and promote brand image.
Sellingandadministrationexpenses of Baht 4,593.4 million in 2010 increased by Baht 198.0 million from last year as a result of
increasing staff costs based on the Company’s annual staff performance review, rising wages, growing employee benefits as well as the
increase in diesel prices. The Company remained committed to undertaking cost control and efficiency improvements while modern-
izing its transportation and distribution systems and rationalizing its sales routes and logistical arrangements to be in line with its sales &
service areas. Other advances were stringent application controls of fuel, water supply, power, and other utilities, efficient management
of selling, administration, marketing and sales promotional expenses. With such efforts, the Company has partially reduced the impacts
arising from higher expenses.
Shareofprofitfromanassociate,netofincometax of Baht 52.0 million baht in 2010 declined by 10.0 million baht or 16.1%.
Corporateincometax for the year was Baht 175.4 million, an increase of Baht 55.0 million or 45.7% due to higher profit before
income tax, according to the income tax reduction measure as announced in 2008. The measure defines the income tax rate of 25% for
the first 300 million baht tax and it had been effective from 2008 until 2010.

The Company made concerted efforts to minimize the impact of negative factors by executing a multifaceted cost reduction and
efficiency program while simultaneously driving sales of high margin products and packages in both the carbonated and non-carbonat-

ments, of Baht 1,446.7 million. Cash available was determined after accounting for all financial requirements for operations and capital
investment. Trade receivables of Baht 1,207.8 million increased from last year by Baht 37.5 million due to the increase in sales revenue
in the last quarter. Inventories of Baht 2,413.4 million increased from last year by Baht 22.1 million. Land, buildings, and equipment of
Baht 7,426.5 million, increased by Baht 3,888.6 million mainly due to the net increase of 3,636.2 million in adjusted land value based on

million baht under the stringent control of asset investments.

231.7 million, which were related to the increase in sale revenue in the last quarter, accrued expenses were 84.3 million baht, which was
mainly from additional provisions for employee welfare benefits and higher accrued marketing costs. Corporate income tax dropped by
Baht 36.0 million which coincides with the before tax profits for the second half of 2010 that was lower than 2009 and that was in line
with non-current liabilities which were mainly from the additional provision for employee retirement. Shareholders’ equity increased by
Baht 3,876.7 million to Baht 13,647.7 million, as a result of increased surplus of Baht 3,655.7 million on land revaluation. Net profit was

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

(d) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, call deposits and highly liquid short-term investments. Bank overdrafts that are
repayable on demand are a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.
(e) Trade and other accounts receivable
Trade and other accounts receivable are stated at their invoice value less allowance for doubtful accounts.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is assessed primarily on analysis of payment histories and future expectations of customer
payments. Bad debts are written off when incurred.
(f) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost of finished goods, work in progress, other supplies and bottles and cases is calculated using the weighted average cost
principle and cost of raw materials, supplies, and spare part is calculated using the moving-average cost principle. Cost comprises all
costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on
normal operating capacity and is calculated using standard cost adjusted to approximate average cost.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs to complete and to
make the sale.
The Group records an allowance for decline in value of inventories for all deteriorated and obsolete inventories.
(g) Investments
Investments in subsidiaries and an associate
Investments in subsidiaries and an associate in the separate financial statements of the Company are accounted for using the cost
method. Investment in an associate in the consolidated financial statements is accounted for using the equity method.
Investments in other equity securities
Marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale investments. Available-for-sale investments are, subsequent to initial
recognition, stated at fair value, and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on available-
for-sale monetary items, are recognised directly in equity. Impairment losses and foreign exchange differences are recognised in the
statement of income. When these investments are derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised directly in equity
is recognised in the statement of income.
Equitysecuritieswhicharenotmarketablearestatedatcostlessanyimpairmentlosses.
The fair value of securities classified as available-for-sale is determined as the quoted bid price at the reporting date.

SERM SUK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2010
Disposal of investments
On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount together with the associated
cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is recognised in the statement of income.
If the Group disposes of part of its holding of a particular investment, the deemed cost of the part sold is determined using the
weighted average method applied to the carrying value of the total holding of the investment.
(h) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, allowance for loss of marketing promotion
equipment and impairment losses except for land which is stated at its revalued amounts. The revalued amount is the fair value
determined on the basis of the property’s existing use at the date of revaluation.
Revalued assets
Revaluations are performed by independent professional valuers with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount of
these assets does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair values at the reporting date.
Any increase in value, on revaluation, is credited to equity under the heading ‘revaluation surplus’ unless it offsets a
previous decrease in value recognised in the statement of income in respect of the same asset. A decrease in value is recognised
in the statement of income to the extent it exceeds an increase previously recognised in equity in respect of the same asset. Upon
disposal of a revalued asset, any related revaluation surplus is transferred from equity to retained earnings and is not taken into
account in calculating the gain or loss on disposal.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged to the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of
property, plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings, warehouses and improvement 20 years
Machinery and equipment 5-10 years
High voltage equipment 10 years
Vehicles 5 years
Furniture and office equipment 3-5 years
Plastic pallets 5 years
Marketing promotion equipments 5 years
No depreciation is provided on freehold land or assets under construction and installment.

(i) Negative goodwill
Negative goodwill in a business combination represents the excess of the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net
assets acquired over the cost of acquisition. The Group has changed its accounting policy for goodwill with effect from 1 January
2008 as follows:
Acquisitions prior to 1 January 2008
Goodwill and negative goodwill were stated at cost from the date of initial recognition and amortised over its estimated useful
life. Negative goodwill carried in the financial statements as at 31 December 2007 was derecognised by crediting unappropriated
retained earnings on 1 January 2008.
Acquisitions on or after 1 January 2008
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment as described in note 3 (k).
Negative goodwill is recognised immediately in the statement of income.
(j) Intangible assets
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Group which have finite useful lives, are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses. Other intangible assets are amortised in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over their estimated
useful lives from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Rights for distribution of goods 2-15 years
Software licences 10 years
(k) Impairment
The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of
impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is
estimated at each reporting date, and as and when indicators of impairment are identified.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.
The impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income.
When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognised directly in equity and there is objec-
tive evidence that the value of the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that has been recognised directly in equity is recognised
in the statement of income even though the financial asset has not been derecognised. The amount of the cumulative loss that is
recognised in the statement of income is the difference between the acquisition cost and current fair value, less any impairment loss
on that financial asset previously recognised in the statement of income.

Calculation of recoverable amount
The recoverable amount of available-for-sale financial assets is calculated by reference to the fair value.
The recoverable amount of a non-financial asset is the greater of the asset’s value in use and fair value less cost to sell. In assessing
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows
largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the
asset belongs.
Reversals of impairment
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is reversed if the subsequent increase in recoverable amount can be related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For available-for-sale financial assets that are equity
securities, the reversal is recognised directly in equity.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods in respect of other
non-financial assets are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An
impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment
loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
(l) Trade and other accounts payable
Trade and other accounts payable are stated at cost.
(m) Employee benefits
Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense in the statement of income as
incurred.
Employeeretirementplan
The Company has established an unfunded retirement plan to provide benefits for its employees who work until the retirement age.
The Company is committed to pay the employee benefits according to the law upon retirement including provident fund and other
benefits in total not less than one month of the last salary multiplied by years of service. The employee retirement benefit is recog
-nised as a liability in the balance sheets based on the said factors and management’s estimate.

(n) Provisions
A provision is recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable
that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of
the obligation.
Provision for long-term executive incentive plan
Provision for long-term executive incentive plan is an estimation of the Company’s liabilities under a incentive program for
executives. This program is for a period of 5 years and gives incentive in the form of non-transferable incentive units. Such incentive
units are calculated as fixed percentage of salary divided by the conversion price which equals 3 years average EPS multiplied by 10
times the price:earnings ratio. The incentive payment will be made 3 years after the grant date of the incentive units.
(o) Revenue
Revenue excludes value added taxes and is arrived at after deduction of trade discounts.
Sale of goods and services rendered
Revenue is recognised in the statement of income when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the
buyer. No revenue is recognised if there is continuing management involvement with the goods or there are significant uncertain-
ties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the probable return of goods. Service income is recognised as
services are provided.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised in the statement of income on the date the Group’s/Company’s right to receive payments is
established.
Interest income and other income
Interest income and other income is recognised in the statement of income as it accrues.
(p) Expenses
Lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the statement of income on a straight line basis over the term of the
lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the statement of income as an integral part of the total lease payments made.
Contingent rentals are charged to the statement of income for the accounting period in which they are incurred.
Finance costs
Interest expenses and similar costs are charged to the statement of income for the period in which they are incurred.

Financial risk management policies
The Group is exposed to normal business risks from changes in market interest rates and currency exchange rates and from non-
performance of contractual obligations by counterparties. The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for
speculative or trading purposes.
Risk management is integral to the whole business of the Group. The Group has a system of controls in place to create an accept-
able balance between the cost of risks occurring and the cost of managing the risks. The management continually monitors the
Group’s risk management process to ensure that an appropriate balance between risk and control is achieved.

SERM SUK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2010
Capital management
The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain
future development of the business. The Board monitors the return on capital and also monitors the level of dividends to ordinary
shareholders.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future movements in market interest rates will affect the results of the Group’s operations and its
cash flows. The Group does not expect that changes in interest rates will materially affect its operations.
Foreign currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk relating to purchases inventory and fixed assets which are denominated in foreign
currencies. The Group expects that changes in exchange rates for liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in the balance sheet
will not materially affect its financial position and results of operations since the Group does not have any foreign currency loans
and most of the spending and purchases of raw and packing materials are transacted in local currency, exchange rate risks are
limited only to those related to imported spare parts and equipments.
The Group primarily utilizes forward exchange contracts with maturities of less than one year to hedge such financial liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies. The forward exchange contracts entered into at the reporting date also relate to anticipated
purchases inventory and fixed assets, denominated in foreign currencies, for the subsequent period.
At 31 December, the Group and the Company were exposed to foreign currency risk in respect of financial assets and liabilities
denominated in the following currencies:

Credit risk
Credit risk is the potential financial loss resulting from the failure of a customer or a counterparty to settle its financial and
contractual obligations to the Group as and when they fall due.
Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are
performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. At the reporting date there were no significant concentrations
of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance
sheet. However, due to the large number of parties comprising the Group’s customer base, Management does not anticipate
material losses from its debt collection.
Liquidity risk
The Group monitors its liquidity risk and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to
finance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.
Determination of fair values
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and
non-financial assets and liabilities. The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled,
between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/
or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in
determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, current investment, trade accounts receivable, short-term loan to related parties and
current assets is taken to approximate the carrying value.
The fair value of investments in equity securities, which are available for sales, are determined by reference to their quoted bid
price at the reporting date.
Other long-term investments, which are non marketable equity securities, have their fair values approximate to their carrying
value.
The fair value of trade accounts payable, short-term loans from related parties, other payable, accrued expenses, income tax
payable and other current liabilities is taken to approximate the carrying value.
89
Notes to the financial statements
For the years ended 31 December 2010 and 2009
Serm Suk Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries
SERM SUK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2010
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on their listed market price, if available. If a listed market price is not
available, then fair value is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward
price at the reporting date for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds).
Although the management uses its best judgment in estimating fair values of financial instruments, estimation methodologies and
assumptions used to estimate fair values are inherently subjective. Accordingly, the use of different estimation methodologies and
or market assumptions may have a significant effect on the estimated fair values.

Management expects to adopt and apply these new TFRS in accordance with the FAP’s announcement and has made a
preliminary assessment of the potential initial impact on the consolidated and separate financial statements of those new
standards assessed to have the greatest potential impact on the financial statements in the period of initial application. These
standards are as follows:
TAS16 (revised 2009) – Property, plant and equipment
The principal changes introduced by the revised TAS 16 and affecting the Group is that (i) costs of asset dismantlement, removal
and restoration have to be included as asset costs and subject to annual depreciation; (ii) the depreciation charge has to be deter-
mined separately for each significant part of an asset; and (iii) in determining the depreciable amount, the residual value of an item
of property, plant and equipment has to be measured at the amount estimated receivable currently for the asset if the asset were
already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. Furthermore, the residual value and useful life of an
asset have to be reviewed at least at each financial year-end.
92
Notes to the financial statements
For the years ended 31 December 2010 and 2009
Serm Suk Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries
SERM SUK PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITEDANNUAL REPORT 2010
The revised TAS 16 permits as a transitional provision that these changes may be introduced prospectively from the year of
introduction. Management intends to adopt this transitional provision and accordingly the introduction of the revised TAS 16
from 1 January 2011 has no impact on the financial statements of 2010 or prior years. Management is currently reviewing the
impact on the financial statements of introducing the revised TAS 16 from 1 January 2011.
TAS19– Employee benefits
There is currently no Thai accounting standard covering employee benefits and the Group does partially present account for other
long-term employee benefits. The Group does not presently account for and termination benefits until such costs are incurred. The
new TAS 19 includes the requirements to recognise and account for such costs in the period in which the service is performed. The
requirements are complex and require actuarial assumptions to measure the obligation and expense. Moreover, the obligations
are measured on a discounted basis because they may be settled many years after the employees render the related service. The
transitional provisions of TAS 19 permit the transitional liability to be recognised and accounted for in one of four different ways:
(i) retrospectively
(ii) immediately in equity (retained earnings) at the transition date.
(iii) immediately in profit of loss at the transition date.
(iv) as an expense on a straight-line basis over up to five years from the transition date
Management is currently reviewing the impact on the financial statements of introducing the TAS 19 from 1 January 2011.
