To review the Company's conduct to ensure that it complies with the laws governing the securities and exchange and the rules prescribed by the Stock Exchange of Thailand or other applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies related to the Company's business. 4. To consider matters relating to the correct, completed and timely disclosure of the Company's information involving any connected party transactions or transactions which may contain a conflict of interests. 5. To advise the Board of Directors on the nomination of the Company's auditor(s) and their remuneration, so that the Board of Directors proposes the matter to the shareholders meeting for approval. 6. To prepare report(s), duly signed by the Chairman of the Audit Committee, concerning supervision of the Audit Committee's performance which will be disclosed in the Company's Annual Report. 7.

Member of the Audit Committee 3 years Listing Conditions - None - Lock-up Period The existing shareholders with an aggregate of 2,194,500,000 shares held before the IPO (which is equal to 55% of the Company's total paid-up capital after the IPO) undertake to the Stock Exchange of Thailand to refrain from selling their shares for one year from the first date that the Company's shares begin trading on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. After half of the one-year period lapses, a partial sale is allowed for 25% of the total shares or securities which are subject to lock up, and the rest of those shares or securities may be sold after the one-year period ends. A relaxation is granted to 1,368,972,600 shares, which is equal to 62.38% of total locked-up shares, to the effect that they need not be deposited with Thailand Securities Depository Co., Ltd. (TSD) because they have currently been pledged to some financial institutions and there are risks that they may become subject to enforcement. In this regard, the Company assures that if the pledged shares are redeemed during the lock-up period, they will be deposited with TSD until the lock-up period ends. Relaxation - None - Other conditions (if any) 1. Dividend payment Having considered the Company's operating results, the Board of Directors meeting, held on 10 April 2008, believed that the Company will be able to pay dividends at the rate of Baht 0.15 per share in respect of the operating results for fiscal year 2007. The dividend payment will be proposed at the Board meeting and/or the general meeting of shareholders for their approval in accordance with the Company's dividend policy and rules. Dividends may be paid to shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2008. The Company also expects that, on each occasion that it is able to pay dividends, the new rate to be declared will not be lower than the previously declared rate. However, the Company cannot assure that the Board meeting and/or the general meeting of shareholders will approve the proposed payment of dividends at Baht 0.15 per share and that the rate of dividends that the Company will be able to afford in the future may be not so favourable as it has forecasted. The fact that the Company's operating results have continuously improved is not a guarantee of its future operating results because there are numerous factors which may affect the Company's operations. For instance, a change in the Government's policy on tap water business and an issue of new laws and rules governing tap water business. 2. Agreements between Major Shareholders of the Company Two major shareholders of the Company, i.e. CH. Karnchang and Mitsui, entered into a Shareholders Agreement which is not binding on the Company. Certain terms of the Shareholders Agreement require mutual agreement of the parties. That means if mutual agreement cannot be reached, an adverse effect may have on the relationship between the major shareholders and each party's status as the Company's major shareholder. Set out below is a summary of the Shareholders Agreement. (1) Determination of Budgets and Accounts If any party does not approve the budget which is determined for any transaction, the Company cannot proceed with the transaction under the unapproved budget, unless such transaction is required by the Concession or the Water Purchase and Sale Agreement. If the inability to proceed with that transaction has irreparable effect on the Company and the parties cannot agree to it, Mitsui may sell its shares in the Company to CH. Karnchang. CH. Karnchang has the right to purchase those shares at the price determined by an expert. (2) Right of First Refusal If any party wishes to sell the Company's shares to a third party, that party must first offer to sell those shares to the other party at the same price that the selling party intends to offer to the third party under the procedure prescribed in the Shareholders Agreement. (3) Deadlock If either of the events set out below arises which causes irreparable effect to the Company and both parties cannot agree on it, Mitsui has the right to sell its shares in the Company to CH. Karnchang. CH. Karnchang then has the right to purchase those shares from Mitsui. (a) disagreement to any resolution passed by the shareholders or the Board of Directors' meetings; (b) directors representing CH. Karnchang or Mitsui do not attend the meetings for three consecutive occasions; or (c) either party does not attend the meetings for two consecutive occasions. In addition, CH. Karnchang and Mitsui entered into an amendment to the Shareholders Agreement which contains the provisions dealing with their role of management in Pathum Thani Water through the Company. Under those amended provisions, prior approval of CH. Karnchang and Mitsui is required for the Company to approve the reserved matters to be carried out by Pathum Thani Water. The reserved matters include the dividend declaration, entry into a transaction with the value exceeding the agreed amount, creation of encumbrance over Baht 50 million, investment, business expansion, budget determination and replacement of auditor. However, those matters must be valid and permitted by law. Statistical Summary Only the audited financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are provided below.
