(B) Hongsa owns the Hongsa Power Plant which commenced the commercial operations of unit 1, unit 2 and unit 3
in June 2015, November 2015 and March 2016, respectively. Therefore, Hongsa did not record share of profit
during the year ended December 31, 2013 to the year ended December 31, 2014. However, the Company
realized share of loss from Hongsa mainly due to the increased level of finance costs, the depreciation of the
Thai Baht against the U.S. dollar and the loss from foreign exchange translation on its U.S. dollar-denominated
net borrowings.

2016.
(5) Akira Energy and Aizu Energy’s investment in solar power generation projects in Japan is not fully operational;
therefore, the companies did not record share of profit during the year ended December 31, 2013 to the year
ended December 31, 2014.
(6) As the Company acquired the remaining HC.CC% equity interest in Akira Energy from an independent third party
in June BCDI, Akira Energy has been re-classified as the Company’s subsidiary since June JC, BCDI. As such,
the Company’s share of profit/loss from Akira Energy after June JC, BCDI does not constitute share of profit/loss
from joint venture and is not accounted for in this table.

4. Competition
a) Thailand and Laos
BLCP and Hongsa do not currently face competition in relation to contracted power generation capacity sales in
Thailand and Laos as these are contracted under long-term power purchase agreements with contract terms
ranging from 20 to 25 years. There may, however, be competition for future power generation projects as and
when they arise. If and when this happens, BLCP and Hongsa may face competition with other major global
and regional power generation companies. The Company expects that the ability of BLCP and Hongsa to
compete successfully will depend on their track record in meeting each project’s technical requirements and the
requirements under the power purchase agreements. In addition, where BLCP and Hongsa decide to
participate in the bidding for new projects, the Company expect that they may face significant competition.
b) China
(1) CHP Generation
Although the Zhengding CHP Plant and the Luannan CHP Plant do not have long-term power purchase
arrangements, the Company does not currently face direct competition from other producers in China as the
Company believes that it benefits from the PRC government’s priority power dispatch policies for CHP plants.
In addition, the Zhengding CHP Plant is the only steam and hot water supplier in Zhengding country, and the
Luannan CHP Plant is the only steam supplier in Luannan country. Zouping CHP Plant is also the exclusive
steam supplier for Xiwang. The Company believes these preferential treatments represent the Company’s
competitive advantages in China.
(2) Solar Power Generation
Solar power generation projects in China benefit from a range of supportive measures from the PRC
government. In 2005, China introduced the Renewable Energy Law, which has become the framework for the
development of the renewable energy industry in the country. The law offers a range of financial incentives to
encourage renewable energy development, such as a national fund, discounts in loans, and preferential
taxation for renewable energy projects, including solar power generation projects generally.
These incentives have encouraged growth in solar power generation in China. As of BCDH, the total
installed capacity of solar power generation in China was BE,IBC.C MW. Although the solar power generation
industry in China has historically been dominated by the large state-owned IPPs, constituting eight of the DC
largest solar power generation operators by installed capacity, there has been an increase in participation from
the private sector, typically in smaller capacity levels. Nonetheless, there has been an increasing trend whereby
private investors with strong financial positions invest in large size solar power generation projects. The
Company does not believe its solar power projects in China face competition in relation to contracted power
generation capacity as the local grid companies are expected to offtake all of the such projects’ power output.
c) Japan
The market for independent solar power producers in Japan is served by a few large solar power projects and
about 10 to 15 small scale solar power producers. In 2014, independent solar power producers accounted for
492.0 MW, or 2.1%, of the total 23,300.0 MW solar power capacity in Japan. As the Japanese government
provides incentives to renewable energy power projects, the number of investors for renewable energy power
15
projects has increased and is expected to increase further. The Company does not believe the solar power
projects in which the Company hold investment interests in Japan face competition in relation to contracted
power generation capacity as sales have been contracted at fixed price under the feed-in tariff system under
20-year long-term power purchase agreements.
5. Research and Development
In September 2016, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with Techen Technologies (Thailand)
Co., Ltd. (“Techen”) under which the Company and Techen have agreed to maintain business and technical
cooperation for the joint development of future solar power projects in Thailand and other countries, as to be
further agreed by us and Techen.
In addition, the Company and Techen have entered into a separate memorandum of understanding with King
Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladrabang in relation to a pilot energy solutions management project to study
the use of solar power to reduce the energy costs of King Mongkut’s Institution and related research and
development cooperation efforts.
Environmental, Health and Safety Matters
The Company and its joint ventures place emphasis on minimizing the environmental impact of emissions from
the Company’s coal-fired plants, and the Company and its joint ventures continuously supervise, control and
improve the power generation process in order to ensure emissions are below stipulated maximum levels. The
projects in which the Company has an interest have been installed with various treatment and disposal
technologies, including low nitrogen oxide burners, flue gas desulfurization systems and the circulating fluidized
bed technology, which are used to reduce emissions of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides. In addition,
electrostatic precipitators have also been installed in the plants for trapping fly ash. Continuous emission
monitoring systems have also been installed in chimneys and in surrounding communities to ensure that
ambient air quality is within the levels required by law.
Each of the Company’s and its joint ventures’ plants has been fully in compliance, in all material respects, with
existing applicable environmental regulations and standards, and has been fully in compliance with World Bank
guidelines and local standards.

Necessity and rationale of the transaction
1.1 Banpu
(“the Parent”)
Banpu Power paid a
management fee for
management and advisory
services to the Parent.
To improve efficiency in organizational management, Banpu had been providing management and advisory services to
Banpu Power under a service agreement signed on 20 December 2006. The annual management fee was determined
at 30 million baht. The agreement was effective and automatically renewed until the agreement was terminated or a
new agreement was signed.
Beginning from 1 October 2015 onwards, Banpu will provide management and advisory services to Banpu Power under
a master service agreement signed on 24 September 2015 in replacement of the old service agreement. The agreement
relates to management and advisory services in (i) accounting and finance, (ii) internal audit, (iii) legal, (iv) general
administration, (v) information technology, (vi) human resources and (vii) asset management,etc. It will be effective for
two years and must be renewed within 30 days before the termination date.
In consideration between having Banpu Power’s in-house operations and outsourcing management and advisory
services from Banpu, outsourcing is deemed more beneficial to Banpu Power in both efficiency and cost because
Banpu has human resources with knowledge, capability and specialized expertise in businesses of power and coal,
which is a key raw material for Banpu Power’s operations. This will reinforce efficiency in Banpu Power’s management
and can reduce cost of training new personnel within a short period of time; therefore, the Company can continue
running its business smoothly. In addition, Banpu is also prompted with information technology system and operational

The principal components of the Company’s other contractual obligations and commitments, as set out in
the foregoing table, include long-term loans from financial institutions and long-term leases, capital commitment
for fixed assets for our CHP plants in China, investment commitment for the Hongsa Power Plant and investment
commitment for the Shanxi Lu Guang Power Plant.
The Company’s ability to obtain adequate financing to satisfy our contractual obligations and debt service
requirements may be limited by the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and the liquidity of
domestic and international financial markets.
Selected Risk Factors
1. Any inability of the Company and its joint ventures’ power plants or power generation projects to
generate or deliver power or steam may significantly adversely affect the Company’s business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company is dependent upon its and its joint ventures’ power plants and power generation projects being
able to deliver electricity and steam to customers. The following events could prevent the Company and its joint
ventures from supplying power or steam to customers including but not limited to:
a) breakdown or failure of power and steam generation equipment or other equipment or processes;
33
b) planned and unplanned shutdowns including normal overhauls outsourced to third parties or delays
in such overhauls;
c) flaws in equipment design or in plant construction;
d) failure of power and steam civil structures or transmission systems, which may affect the Company’s
and its joint venture’s declared availability;
e) issues with the quality of, or interruption in the supply of, key inputs, including coal, water and
sunlight;
f) inability to operate due to a failure to meet licensing requirements or to obtain or maintain required
regulatory permits and approvals;
g) human errors, including mistakes made by an operator when operating any equipment;
h) pollution or environmental contamination affecting the plant operations;
i) force majeure and catastrophic events, including fires, explosions, landslides, earthquakes, tropical
storms, floods and terrorist acts; and
j) scheduled and unscheduled outages due to maintenance, expansion or refurbishment works.
2. The Company and its joint ventures are highly dependent on a small number of offtakers
The Company and its joint ventures sell substantially all of the electricity and steam produced to a small number
of offtakers. For example, BLCP has only contracted with EGAT for the sale of electricity generated from the
BLCP Power Plant and is not allowed to deliver electricity to a third party under the BLCP PPA. Hongsa sells the
majority of electricity generated from the Hongsa Power Plant to EGAT and part of the remaining amount to EDL.
In China, in respect of power sales, each of the Zhengding CHP Plant and the Luannan CHP Plant has only
entered into a power purchase agreement with the only power grid company in its respective country. In addition,
the Zouping CHP Plant has entered into a power purchase agreement and a steam purchase agreement solely
with Xiwang.
Any failure of the Company’s and its joint ventures’ offtakers to fulfill their payment or other contractual obligations
under related agreements or any disruption of the relationship with one or more offtakers could have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
3. The Company’s results of operations depend on a small number of assets.
Historically, the Company’s profits have been heavily influenced by the profit of BLCP, itsIC.CC% joint venture
that owns and operates the BLCP Power Plant. The Company’s share of profit from BLCP accounted for
approximately NH.K%, EE.N% and EC.B% of its profit before income taxes for the years ended December JD, BCDJ,
BCDH and BCDI, respectively. If any of the plants and power projects fail to be profitable or generate lower than
expected profits, its results of operation may be materially and adversely affected.
4. The power purchase agreements are only for fixed terms.
The power purchase agreements for the BLCP Power Plant, the Hongsa Power Plant and the solar power
generation projects in Japan are for a duration ranging from 20 to 25 years. The Zhengding CHP Plant and the
Luannan CHP Plant sell power under annual power purchase agreements which are subject to renewal every
year, while the Zouping CHP Plant has a 28-year power purchase agreement expiring in June 2029 with Xiwang
for the sale of power. None of these power purchase agreements contain extension options and there can be no
assurance that the tenure of the power purchase agreements for any of these projects will be extended beyond
34
its initial term, or that the Company and its joint ventures will be able to enter into power purchase agreements or
steam purchase agreements with other parties within timely manner or be able to find any other offtakers at all
when the Company’s existing agreements expire. In As such, if there is no extension or extensions are entered
into on less favorable terms, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be
adversely affected.
5. Fuel Supply Risks
The success of the Company’s and its joint ventures’ operations depends on, among others, the ability to source
a sufficient amount of coal, the principal raw material, at competitive prices for the operation of air coal-fired
power plants. Interruption in coal supplies or an increase in the cost of coal may adversely affect the Company’s
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow
Other factors which may affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow
include limitations in the pass-through of fuel costs and an increase in mining costs at the Hongsa Lignite Mine
since the profitability of the Hongsa Power Plant thus depends on lignite production costs.
6. The Company’s and its joint ventures’ power generation operations are dependent on the ability to
obtain, maintain and renew licenses and approvals and maintain relevant concessions.
The Company and its joint ventures require various licenses and approvals from the relevant governmental
authorities to operate in the power generation businesses. The relevant governmental entities (whether at the
central Government or provincial, regional or local government level) may not issue or renew the licenses or
approvals relating to the Company’s and its joint ventures’ business operations in the timeframe the Company
anticipate or at all. There is no assurance that the Company and its joint ventures will be able to obtain, maintain
or renew licenses and approvals and comply with licensing and approval requirements in the future, and in the
event that the Company and its joint ventures fail to do so, the Company’s and its joint ventures’ operations could
be interrupted or cease completely, either of which could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s
business, results of operations and financial condition.
7. BLCP may not be able to renew its lease agreement for the power plant site from IEAT before the BLCP
PPA expires.
The lease agreement for the site where the BLCP Power Plant is located will expire prior to the expiration of the
power purchase agreement. If BLCP fails to renew its lease agreement, it will be required to return the land to the
IEAT and will no longer be able to operate the BLCP Power Plant after the expiration of such the lease
agreement. Although BLCP plans to extend such the lease term to at least cover the term of its power purchase
agreement, the Company cannot guarantee that BLCP will be able to extend the lease term of the land or it will
be adequate as expected by BLCP, or that any such extension (if it is extendable) will be on terms reasonable,
acceptable and beneficial to BLCP or us. In such an event, the Company’s business, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flow could be materially and adversely affected.
8. The Company may be subject to liabilities in relation to the Hongsa Power Project Court Case.
In 2007, a group of individuals and corporate entities (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”), who were ex-developers of the
Hongsa Power Plant, filed a civil lawsuit at the Thai Civil Court (the “Civil Court”) against Banpu, Banpu
International Ltd. and the Company, together with three of Banpu’s executives (collectively, the “Defendants”),
35
based on the allegations that the Company had deceptively entered into a joint development agreement with the
Plaintiffs for the purpose of gaining access to information of the Hongsa Power Plant and the Hongsa Lignite
Mine, and had, in bad faith, misinformed the Lao government, which caused the Lao government to terminate
their concessions for Hongsa Power Plant and the Hongsa Lignite Mine and allowed Hongsa to directly enter into
a concession contract with the Lao government. The Plaintiffs demanded the Defendants to pay damages of
THB2,000 million for the value of the Hongsa Power Plant information, another THB2,000 million for their
investment costs incurred for the studies and expenditures in the Hongsa Power Plant, and THB59,500 million for
the potential lost profits resulting from the termination of their concessions, totaling THB63,500 million plus
interest thereon. The Defendants also have counterclaimed that the Plaintiff unlawfully terminated the joint
development agreement causing damages to Banpu, Banpu International Ltd., and us.
In September 2012, the Civil Court issued a judgment concluding that although the Defendants did not breach the
joint development agreement, the Defendants committed a wrongful act by using the Plaintiffs’ information of the
Hongsa Power Plant (for the development of a 600.0 MW power plant) to develop the 1,800.0 MW power plant.
The Civil Court ordered Banpu and us to pay to the Plaintiffs damages of THB2,000 million for the value of the
information, another THB2,000 million for the investment costs for the studies and expenditures in the Hongsa
Power Plant, totaling THB4,000 million plus 7.5% interest per annum from the date of the complaint until full
payment and for loss of profits of THB860 million per year for the years from 2015 to 2027 and THB1,380 million
per year for years from 2028 to 2039, payable at each year end, totaling THB27,740 million. Total damages
amounted to THB31,745 million. The complaints involving Banpu International Co., Ltd. and Banpu’s executives
were dismissed.
The decision was appealed and, in September 2014, the Civil Court announced the judgment of the Appeal Court
of Thailand (the “Appeal Court”) whereby the Plaintiffs’ complaint and the Defendants’ counterclaim were
dismissed. The Appeal Court concluded that the Defendants had acted in good faith before and after the joint
development agreement was entered into, and that the Defendants did not commit any wrongful acts against the
Plaintiffs. The Appeal Court also found that it was the Plaintiffs that breached the joint development agreement,
and that the Defendants had no obligation to return to the Plaintiffs the documents containing the information
relating to the Hongsa Power Plant and the Hongsa Lignite Mine.
As of Semtember 2016, the case has not concluded, as the Plaintiffs have now filed a petition to the Supreme
Court of Thailand (the “Supreme Court”) against the judgment of the Appeal Court. It is expected that the appeal
process will take approximately three to five years.
While the Company believe that the Plaintiffs’ allegations have no merit and the Company have not taken any
reserves in relation to the litigation, the litigation is time-consuming and costly, and the Company’s senior
management shall pay attention to the litigation. The outcome of litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and
may depend upon factors outside of the Company’s control. While the outcome of the litigation will not affect the
Company’s interest in Hongsa or Hongsa’s concessions, an unfavorable resolution of the litigation or any future
allegations, lawsuits or proceedings could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, prospects,
results of operations and financial condition and the market prices of the Company’s Shares
36
9. The loss of certain tax exemptions and tax incentives or the imposition of new taxes would increase the
Company’s and its joint ventures’ tax liability and decrease the Company’s future profits.
BLCP has obtained investment promotion privileges from the Board of Investment of Thailand (the “BOI”) for the
BLCP Power Plant, under which BLCP is eligible for a 50.0% tax exemption from April 2014 to March 2019.
Hongsa has also received, among others, certain income tax relief from the Standing Committee of the National
Assembly of Laos, which shall be in place from the signing of the Hongsa mine mouth power project concession
agreement in November 2009 until the seventh year after the date of commencement of commercial operations of
Hongsa Unit 3, which was in March 2016.
The loss of these tax exemptions and tax incentives or the imposition of new taxes could have a material adverse
effect on BLCP’s and Hongsa’s and, as such, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
10. The Company holds interests in solar power projects in Japan through a TK structure under which the
Company do not exercise control over their operations.
The Company currently hold interests in seven solar power projects in Japan through the TK structure. The TK
structure is a Japanese partnership structure governed by a contract between an investor and a TK operator
under which the investor makes certain contributions to the TK operator (in the form of cash or other things of
value) in return for the right to receive distributions of profits generated from the business. Under Japanese law,
neither the TK investor nor its officers, directors, employees or representatives actively manage and operate the
TK business, nor do they have any authority to act for the TK operator. Further, a TK investor does not have
voting rights in relation to the decisions to be made by the TK operator or any rights to actively participate in the
decision-making process of the TK business.
In order to assure the bona fide TK nature, the TK operator should not be subject to the full control by the TK
investor and shall be independent from the TK investor. In such a situation, however, there can be no assurance
that the interests of TK operators will be aligned with the Company’s interests and the TK operators may make
decisions or take actions that are not in line with the Company’s interests, causing a material adverse effect on
the Company’s business, prospects, and operations.
11. Exchange rate fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
The Company and its joint ventures have power generation operations in Thailand, Laos, China and investment
interests in power generation projects in Japan, and generate sales in a number of currencies, including the Thai
Baht, U.S. dollar, Renminbi and Japanese yen. Conducting business across multiple currencies subjects the
Company and its joint ventures to currency fluctuation risks. In particular, fluctuations in currency exchange rates
could have an impact on the translation of foreign currency-denominated amounts into the Thai Baht, which is the
Company’s functional currency. In addition, fluctuations in currency exchanges could have an impact on the
Company’s results of operations when the Company and the Company’s joint ventures transact through the use
of foreign currencies. The above exchange rate risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
business and results of operations.
37
12. The structure and provisions of the Company’s and its joint ventures’ financing arrangements could
give rise to certain risks.
The use of borrowings presents certain additional risks for the Company and its ventures. The Company and its
joint ventures may be unable to service interest payments and principal repayments or comply with other
requirements of loans, rendering borrowings immediately repayable in whole or in part, together with any
attendant cost. In addition, some of the Company’s and its joint ventures’ borrowings are generally secured
against the project company’s assets. Any event of default, including a default in the payment of principal or
interest of loans, would result in the lenders enforcing their security. Any cross-default provisions contained in our
or our joint ventures’ loan could magnify the effect of an individual default and if such a provision were exercised,
this could result in a substantial loss to the Company and its ventures.
Litigation
In 2007, a group of individuals and corporate entities (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”), who were ex-developers of the
Hongsa Coal Mine and the Hongsa Power Plant, filed a civil lawsuit at the Thai Civil Court (the “Civil Court”)
against Banpu, Banpu International Ltd. and the Company, together with three of Banpu’s executives (collectively,
the “Defendants”), based on the allegations that the Defendants had deceptively entered into a joint development
agreement with the Plaintiffs for the purpose of gaining access to the information of the Hongsa Power Plant and
the Hongsa Lignite Mine, and had, in bad faith, misinformed the Lao government, which caused the Lao
government to terminate the Plaintiff’s concessions for Hongsa Power Plant and the Hongsa Lignite Mine in order
that the Company could directly enter into a concession contract with the Lao government. The Plaintiffs
demanded that the Defendants pay damages of THB2,000 million for the value of the Hongsa Power Plant
information, another THB2,000 million for their investment costs for the studies and expenditures in the Hongsa
Coal Mine and the Hongsa Power Plant, and THB59,500 million for the lost profits resulting from the termination
of their concessions, totaling THB63,500 million plus 7.5% interest per annum thereon. The Defendants have also
counterclaimed that the Plaintiffs unlawfully terminated the joint development agreement, causing damages to
Banpu, Banpu International Ltd. and the Company.
In September 2012, the Civil Court issued a judgment concluding that the Defendants did not breach the joint
development agreement; the Plaintiffs breached the terms of the joint development agreement; and the
Defendants committed a wrongful act by using the Plaintiffs’ information of the Hongsa Power Plant (for the
development of a 600.0 MW power plant) to develop the 1,800.0 MW power plant. The Civil Court ordered Banpu
and the Company to pay to the Plaintiffs damages of THB2,000 million for the value of the information, another
THB2,000 million for the investment costs for the studies and expenditures in the Hongsa Coal Mine and the
Hongsa Power Plant, totaling THB4,000 million plus 7.50% interest per annum from the date of the complaint until
full payment, and for loss of profits of THB860 million per year for the years from 2015 to 2027 and THB1,380
million per year from 2028 to 2039, payable at each year end, totaling THB27,740 million. Total damages
amounted to THB31,740 million. The Civil Court dismissed the counterclaim of us, Banpu International Ltd. and
the Banpu’s executives.
The decision was appealed, and in September 2014, the Civil Court announced the judgment of the Appeal Court
of Thailand (the “Appeal Court”) whereby the Plaintiffs’ complaint was dismissed. The Appeal Court concluded
that the Defendants had acted in good faith before and after the joint development agreement was entered into,
38
and that the Defendants did not commit any wrongful acts against the Plaintiffs. The Appeal Court also found that
it was the Plaintiffs that breached the joint development agreement, and that the Defendants had no obligation to
return to the Plaintiffs the documents containing the Plaintiff’s information relating to the Hongsa Power Plant and
the Hongsa Lignite Mine.
As of Semtember 2016, the case has not concluded, as the Plaintiffs have now filed a petition to the Supreme
Court of Thailand (the “Supreme Court”) against the judgment of the Appeal Court. It is expected that the appeal
process will take approximately three to five years.
While the Company believes that the Plaintiffs’ allegations have no merit, and the Company has not taken any
reserves in relation to the litigation, the litigation is time-consuming and costly and could divert the attention of our
senior management. An unfavorable resolution of the litigation or any future allegations, lawsuits or proceedings
could materially and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition and the market
prices of our shares.
As of June 30, 2016, the Company did not record a contingent liability in respect ofthis case in the Company’s
financial statements, and the Companyhave not taken any reserves inrelation to the litigation. Other than as
disclosed in the foregoing and to the Company’s best knowledge, the Company and its subsidiaries are not
involved in any lawsuitor any other legal action which the Company believes it may cause materially andadversely
affect the Company’s assets and business operations but are not evaluate thevalue of effect and the Companyis
not involved in any lawsuit which is not relatingto our business operation. There are no other threatened or
pending lawsuitswith respect to the Company or any of the power plants or power generation projectsin which the
Company have an interest.
