In 2006 the Thai automotive industry grew by 6% comparedwith the year before, with a total of 1,188,044 vehicles beingproduced. Total domestic vehicle sales reached 682,161 units,representing a 3% drop, while 538,966 units were exported anincrease of 22%. The fall in domestic sales is attributable togeneral economic slow-down, political uncertainty and fluctuatingoil prices, which rose considerably between April and August,plus the impact of a natural disasters which struck several areas ofthe country in the period August to October. In any case auto exportslook set to continue their sustained upward trend.

Looking forward into 2007, the Federation of Thai Industries expectsmodest growth in the overall vehicle market, with the domestic marketgrowing very little but exports of vehicles and parts performing strongly,propelled by free trade agreements. We can expect to see more low cost cars fromChina and India making an appearance in our market. Players in the Thai industry willhave to accelerate the adaptation of their production cost structures in order to be able to compete,and will also have to seek out new business opportunities and strategic partners. In any case Thailand still has animportant role to play, and is ready to become an ASEAN production hub, as evidenced by the fact that several major global automakers have increasedtheir capacity and transferred their production bases here with a view to using Thailand as their worldwide export production hub.

For, 2006 Thai Rung was a difficult year. Sales of the Company’s multi-purpose vehicles were hit by ever-fiercer competition in the market, higheroil prices and political uncertainty. Sales of the TR Bangkok Limousine under the joint Thai taxi development project with SME Bank are still belowtarget due to the big rise in the price of diesel fuel. As a result, the Company’s performance for 2006 was disappointing. Nevertheless we succeededin expanding income from our parts business and from contract assembly work by over 30% on the previous year, and should continue to show sustainedgrowth going forward.

Turning to the business outlook for 2006, the Company remains determined to develop its multi-purpose vehicles and special purpose vehicles to meetcustomer requirements and offer a wider variety of products. The Company has joined hands with a new business partner to develop a new model ofmulti-purpose vehicle based on the Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck, which will be launched in early 2007, opening up another customer group and anew outlet channel for the Company’s multi-purpose vehicles. The Company is constantly on the look-out for possible new alliances with foreignpartners to invest together in expanding production capacity for both metal and plastic parts and for opportunities for contract assembly of variousmakes of vehicles for sale both at home and abroad. We will also continue to push our dies and jigs business so as to take advantage of the overallsustained growth of the high value automotive and auto parts industries, focusing at the same time on ensuring that product quality is up to internationalstandards, that our prices are right, and that we can remain competitive into the future.

The Company attaches great importance to, and consistently adheres to the principles of good corporate governance in order to assure the Company’songoing progress, growth and stability under efficient and transparent management and to bolster the confidence of all stakeholders, for the greatestbenefit of the Company and its shareholders. In 2006 the Company was assessed as ‘good’ by the Thai Institute of Directors’ ‘Corporate GovernanceReport of Thai Listed Companies 2006’, and was also assessed as ‘good’ in the joint SEC-BOI ‘AGM check-list’. The Company will continue to striveto improve the standard of corporate governance.

On behalf of the Company’s Board of Directors I should like to thank our customers, our shareholders, the various organisations and departments bothgovernmental and private, and all our employees and stakeholders who are a driving force in their constant support. We count on the continued supportof all concerned in further developing the Company’s growth and future success.

Pranee Phaoenchoke Chairman

Industry trends and future competitive situationIndustry trends and future competitive situationIndustry trends and future competitive situationIndustry trends and future competitive situationIndustry trends and future competitive situation

Thailand’s total vehicle production for 2006 amounted to 1,188,044 units, representing a 6% increase on the previous year, with682,161 units being sold in the domestic market (a 3% drop on the previous year) and a further 538,966 being exported, representingan increase of 22% on the prior year. Of the total production figure, a record total of 866,769 or 73% were one-ton pickup trucks, anincrease of 5% on the previous year, thanks to market growth both at home and abroad.

Looking forward into 2007, prospects for the Thai automotive industry are for continued growth. The Federation of Thai Industriesexpects modest growth in the overall vehicle market, with the domestic market growing very little but exports of vehicles and partsperforming strongly, propelled by free trade agreements, and is estimating total production of 1,280,000 units for 2007, of which678,000 for the domestic market (700,000 including imports) and 606,000 for export. Oil prices are not expected to have very mucheffect on total vehicle sales, however they will affect purchasing decisions in terms of vehicle type and model. Low cost cars fromChina and India can be expected to make an appearance in our market. Players in the Thai industry will have to accelerate theadaptation of their production cost structures in order to be able to compete, and will also have to seek out new business opportunitiesand strategic partners. In any case Thailand still has an important role to play, and is ready to become an ASEAN production hub,as evidenced by the fact that several major global automakers have increased their capacity and transferred their production baseshere with a view to using Thailand as their worldwide export production hub.

The next step for the automotive industry must be to develop its ability to compete, in terms of design engineering, research anddevelopment, and reaching and maintaining global standard levels. Players in the Thai automotive industry need to improvecontinuously and rapidly, in terms of quality, costs and technology, in order to reach and maintain global standard levels and thusmeet the ever growing competition as auto assemblers and parts makers from America, Europe and Japan continue to move theirproduction bases to Thailand, and to cope with changing global terms of trade under WTO, AFTA and bilateral free tradeagreements.

Risk Factors1.1.1.1.1. Business Risks, by Business TypeBusiness Risks, by Business TypeBusiness Risks, by Business TypeBusiness Risks, by Business TypeBusiness Risks, by Business Type

Multi-purpose vehicles- Risks arising from the fact that the distribution channel for Isuzu pick-ups modified by the Company is limited to dealers

of Tripetch Isuzu Sales Co., Ltd. Income from this business accounted for roughly 20% of total consolidated revenues in2006.

- Brand owners who already produce multi-purpose vehicles, and new entrants attracted into the market by the high valueof the station wagon type segment.

Auto Parts- Bargaining power affected by weight of major customers Aapico Amata Co., Ltd. and Isuzu Motors (Thailand) Co., Ltd.,

who together accounted for about 20% of total consolidated income in 2006.- The growth of the automotive and parts industries for supply to both domestic and export markets, as seen from the fact

that several major auto makers have expanded their production capacity and others have moved their production basesfrom overseas to Thailand, leads to ever more competitors in the auto parts industry, both big and small, old and new.

Dies & Jigs- Increasing competition both from existing manufacturers expanding production capacity so as to be able to take on more

orders, and from new entrants from overseas coming to take a share of the work available, could have an effect on thevolume of work in the future .In 2006 income from dies and jigs accounted for approximately 5% of total consolidatedrevenues.

- Shortage of skilled die-making technicians, leading to poaching of capable personnel.

Risk ManagementRisk ManagementRisk ManagementRisk ManagementRisk ManagementIn order to spread risk and lessen the possible impact of the various risk factors, the Company has laid down policy guidelinesfor each business unit, as follows.

Multi-purpose VehiclesMulti-purpose VehiclesMulti-purpose VehiclesMulti-purpose VehiclesMulti-purpose Vehicles- The Company places emphasis on research and development of multi-purpose vehicles, focusing on up-to-date styling

and on quality to match requirements of target customer groups. At the same time studies are under way aimed atdeveloping a line of business in special purpose vehicles of various kinds such as taxis and rapid response rescuevehicles, so as to expand the market and target customer groups by taking advantage of the Company’s flexibility inadapting its production processes.

- The Company has joined hands with a new business partner to develop a new multi-purpose vehicle based on theChevrolet Colorado pickup truck, which will go on sale in early 2007, opening up an additional group of customers andadditional sales outlets for multi-purpose vehicles, as well as seeking alliances with producers of chassis and salesoutlets for other brands which do not yet produce multi-purpose vehicles or ‘PPVs’ (Pickup-Passenger Vehicles.)

- The Company has further developed its ‘TR Center’ product presentation outlets, in order to maximize customer andend-user awareness, opening three new branches in 2006, at Phetchkasem, Rattanathibet and Rama IV.

- The Company has established TRU Leasing Co., Ltd. in order to support sales of its taxi product to customers who arenot included in the SME Bank’s “Thai Taxi Development Project.”

Parts makingParts makingParts makingParts makingParts making- The Company continues to foster its relationships with its long-standing major customers, whilst at the same time seeking

new customers from other sectors such as motorcycles, industrial machinery, electrical appliances and agriculturalmachinery, so as to spread risk. The Company set up an all year round program of marketing activities aimed at fosteringgood customer relations, and also established new target customer groups for plastic parts and window regulators.

- The Company expanded its business into the production and sale of blowmold and vacuum-formed plastic parts,including plastic accessory parts under the name Parto.

- Expansion of customer base to overseas markets such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Egypt, Australia andU.S.A.

- The Company is constantly on the look-out for possible new alliances with foreign partners to invest together inexpanding production capacity for both metal and plastic parts so as to cater to the growing volume of work resulting fromthe sustained growth of the automotive industry, its policy being to focus on high value-added work.

- Development of new variants of the Company’s existing ‘flat deck’ to cater to the pick-up industry at home and abroadin the future.

Dies & JigsDies & JigsDies & JigsDies & JigsDies & Jigs- The Company has carried out investments to improve the efficiency of the production process so as to meet the many and

varied customer requirements and at the same time to improve chances of winning high value orders.- The Company has a project to increase automation of the production process so as to lessen the impact of shortages of

skilled labor, and has also arranged training courses aimed at enhancing personnel capability.

Nevertheless in order to spread the risks in all three business units, the Company also strives to diversify its business, bothto reduce the risk of business concentration and to broaden the revenue base. Examples are:- Thai Ultimate Car Co., Ltd. is a dealer and after-sales service provider for the Land Rover brand of vehicles.- TRU Leasing Co., Ltd. provides financial services by way of automotive hire purchase.

Report of Independent AuditorTo The Board of Directors and Shareholders ofThai Rung Union Car Public Company Limited

I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Thai Rung Union Car Public CompanyLimited and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements ofincome, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the separate financialstatements of Thai Rung Union Car Public Company Limited for the same periods. These financial statementsare the responsibility of the Company’s management as to their correctness and the completeness of thepresentation. 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 requirethat I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements arefree of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting theamounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accountingprinciples used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financialstatement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financialposition of Thai Rung Union Car Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries and of Thai Rung UnionCar Public Company Limited as at 31 December 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations andcash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) for the year by the weighted average number ofordinary shares in issue during the year.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) for the year by the weighted average number of ordinaryshares in issue during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares which would need to be issued to convert alldilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. The calculation assumes that the conversion took place either at the beginningof the year or on the date the potential ordinary shares were issued.
