The Company has not yet been able to set term of independent director
for up to 9 years, since the agro-chemical industry needs people who
actually understand the company's business, which is quite complicated.
The company is a formulator of various and seasonal agricultural
chemicals for a variety of crops. The raw materials are hazardous
substances that must be registered, produced, imported and sold under
licenses from the Department of Agriculture, Department of Livestock,
Commissioner of Food and Drug.

Moreover, the agrochemical business is viewed by the general public as
the one of the causes for destroying environment and harming farmers. In
fact, agrochemicals are comparable to medicines for plants, which same
as medicines to heal human beings from various life threatening
diseases. In the case of incorrect administration of drugs to patients
such as misuse or overuse medicines would result in negative impacts as
well as agrochemicals. The proper use of agrochemicals according to the
methods, doses and time period with plants and diseases will help to
protect the plants from insects, pests and this will increase the
quality of the crops and leave no toxic residue to the environment.
Therefore, independent committee of the company, in addition to having
to understand the business, must have a positive attitude toward the
agrochemical business.

Even though, the Independent Committee has hold the position for a long
time, they strongly believe in independent decision making for the
maximum benefits of the Company and its shareholders.

The Internal Audit Report on Fraud

The internal audit report on fraud has objective to consider risks from
fraud and proper risk management. In considering risks from fraud, these
factors are taken into account:

1. Need and motivation – to consider whether the company has a policy or
factor to create need or motivation for the fraud.

2. Opportunity – to consider whether the company has structure or
process to encourage the fraud.

3. Reason and honesty – to consider factors which affect the reason and
honesty of the company’s personnel.

The consideration of risk management aims to ensure that the company has
three important processes:

1. Preventive – the company has policy or system for internal control to
prevent the risk of fraud

2. Detective – the company has channel or process to detect the
abnormality in the organization

3. Responsive – the company has clear and strict penalties for those who
broke the agreement

The company has an internal audit on fraud by considering the risk of
fraud as follows.

1. Needs and Motivations - Considering company's policy whether they
create needs or motivation of fraud.

2. Opportunities – Considering organizational structure or work
procedures whether they create opportunity for corruption.

3. Rationality and honesty – Considering factors that affect the
validity and integrity of company’s personnel. From the audit of the
company’s structure, policy and internal control, it is found that:

1. The company has structure that clearly separates duties for each
department.

2. The company has efficient internal control system for each department
to check each other’s work. For example, Sales Department is responsible
for sales order while Operation Department is responsible for warehouse
control, operation and delivery. When the Sales Department receives the
money from customers, the payment will be delivered and monitored by the
Accounting Department.

3. The management has a clear anti-corruption policy to help reduce
fraud in Thai

society by avoiding to get involved with any activities that can lead to
corruption both government and private sector.

  lead to any corruption.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability Report

Thailand is recognized as an agricultural country, despite the fact that
the agricultural sector does not take the major role to generate incomes
to the country. However the agricultural sector has still played an
important role to feed the nation, and also yield the national incomes
through export. Over the past, several countries worldwide have been
trying to increase their farming areas in order to cultivate more. Even
the countries which were unable to farm have also tried to lease
cultivated lands of other countries for this purpose. Consequently, it
can be said that the farming sector is significantly important role.

Food Security is a modern problem faced by many countries, especially
developing countries, where such problem is increasingly severe due to
the change of climate and limited area of agriculture. Therefore, each
country has to come up with measures to cope with this problem.

For Thailand, we are capable of producing sufficient food crops for
domestic consumption and exporting to other countries. However, the
government should pay attention to the following factors in order to
avoid future problems.

1.  Agricultural areas have been used for producing alternative energy
    such as solar farm, which has gained increasing popularity,
    especially in Northeastern area.

2.  Agricultural labor force has continuously decreased as new
    generations prefer to work in industrial sector. Therefore,
    agricultural sector has lacked of labor force due to its high demand
    in labor.

3.  More foreigners have used legal loopholes to occupy agricultural
    areas causing some Thai people to lose the possessory right of their
    land and unable to use their land for agricultural purpose.

4.  Factors of production such as chemical fertilizer and pesticide
    chemicals must be imported from other countries causing high
    manufacturing cost.

Weed Science Association of Thailand conducted a research and it was
found that weeds are the number one enemy of farmers. Labor for
agricultural sector is scarce and more costly than the use of
herbicides. Due to the aforementioned factors, Thai farmers have to find
the way to “produce more without expanding the area while making the
efficient use of their existing labor”. Pato Chemical Public Company
Limited was, therefore, established to answer the needs of Thai farmers
for quality, increasing productivity, and rely on less labor by
providing high-quality and effective pesticides at reasonable price
while multinational companies focus on importing finished products,
which are more expensive.

Pato Chemical Industry PCL. has imported both finished products and
Technical Grade chemicals and laid down the policy to focus on import
the Technical Grade materials as much as possible as having considered
that the Technical Grade chemicals can be formulated for their own
manufacturing process and this would cut down the production cost and
help promote the domestic income distribution since other chemical
elements, including packaging materials can be supplied domestically.
The most important thing is that the Company can monitor and control the
quality of the products better than the imported finished ones.
Definitely, this will bring about big advantages to Thai farmers and
agriculturists as they can access to the good quality agricultural
products with the lower price and cut down the farming cost.
Consequently, the past 30-year history of the company’s operation have
been secured by the reliability and trust of Thai agriculturists until
today.

Corporate Social Responsibility Policy

Pato Chemical Industry PCL. is a part of society, thus the importance of
doing business with social, community and environmental awareness is to
be concerned for sustainable growth and achievement of recognition. To
encourage the directors, managements and employees to the same
directions, the company takes into consideration, the Corporate Social
Responsibility and set the policies as follows:

1. To raise awareness of all employees the realization of social
responsibility and take into account the promotion of social
responsibility through corporate governance and internal control, as
well as create enterprise value focusing on activities that are correct

2. To consider the meaningful existence of the company, moreover, the
company emphasizes the rights of all stakeholders including employees,
customers, competitors, commercial creditors, environment and society at
the well-balanced and prioritized appropriately, so all parties are
satisfied and contribute to the sustainability.

The Company has prepared the CSR report in line with the framework of
CSR guidelines outlined by SET. The report will be included in the
Company’s annual report and reflect what they have planned and actually
performed. Pato Chemical Industry PCL. has committed themselves on the
vision “Supply good quality products with fair price to Thai farmers,
secure in the performance stability with the engagement of social and
environment responsibility”. Consequently, the Company has set out the
business guidance to observe the following 8 principles of social

|                      | monitoring function and penalty.              |
|                      |                                               |

|                      | for corruption problem in the primary. The    |
|                      | problem affects the image and standard of     |
|                      | living of Thai people as a whole for          |
|                      | instance:                                     |

|                      | 1. Public resources may turn to someone own   |
|                      | illegally and unethically.                    |
|                      |                                               |

|                      | quality road or constructions which lead to a |
|                      | shorter working life than it seems, or people |
|                      | receive poor service.                         |

|                      | monopolize, not promoting effective and fair  |
|                      | competition and result in weak and            |
|                      | unprogressive organization.                   |

|                      | exploitation, rules and disciplines breaking, |
|                      | and the lack of common sense to do for        |

|                      | 30 years (2054), the world population will    |
|                      | grow to 9,000 million people, causing the     |
|                      | demand for food to increase by 30%, but       |
|                      | agricultural areas around the world tend to   |
|                      | decrease. So, there is need to increase       |
|                      | production efficiency per unit area. However, |
|                      | Thailand is located in the tropics that grows |
|                      | variety of plants throughout the year, thus,  |
|                      | there are more than 700 types of pests,       |
|                      | insects, weeds and plant diseases. Therefore, |
|                      | it is not surprising that Thailand has        |
|                      | imported a large quantity of pesticide        |
|                      | chemicals                                     |
|                      |                                               |
|                      | It can be seen that agricultural chemicals    |
|                      | are still largely required as much as human   |
|                      | medicine. This is to prevent the plant from   |
|                      | dying, wasting or not giving full yield.      |
|                      | Healthy plants will produce beautiful and     |
|                      | sufficient products for both domestic         |
|                      | consumption and foreign export. The use of    |
|                      | chemicals is one of the methods of plant      |
|                      | protection in industrial production for the   |
|                      | plants to grow strong and produce full        |
|                      | productivity and provide sufficient yield per |

Safe and Proper Use of Pesticides Project

Currently, pesticides are recognized worldwide as an important
production factor in creating food security. If they are used correctly,
it can produce safe food for consumers. On the contrary, incorrectly or
excessively usage, it may cause side effects like overdose using of
medicines in human.

             One of the reason behind Thailand success in producing
enough food for domestic consumption and ranking 1 among 10 countries
who can feed the world’s population is the use of production factors
including fertilizers and pesticides. The data showed that the US has an
area of ​​1,015 million hectares of cultivated area. The use of
agrochemicals around 3.9 million tons per year is five times higher when
compared with Thailand. The usage rate of 0.38 kg per hectares is
two-fold higher than Thailand which is only 0.176 kg per hectare. China
is the country of the highest usage rate of agrochemicals. It is 0.70 kg
per hectare or four times higher than the rate of Thailand. Meanwhile,
Japan has cultivated area of 27 million hectares. Agrochemicals usage
rate is 2.3 kilograms per hectare or about 13 times higher than
Thailand. Most of which are used in paddy fields.

           Currently, Thailand has passed one of the most restrictive
law to control the import of agrochemicals, the Hazard Substances Act
B.E. 2551. More than 100 types of hazardous agrochemicals of high
environmental impacts were banned. Agrochemicals that are allowed for
import and sell in Thailand have passed screening process from
manufacturers of over 10-year experiences. The products have been tested
by the environmental agencies; Food and Agriculture Organization of the
United Nations and have been gone through efficiency field trials in
Thailand before being allowed to be sold.

         Prior to the adoption of the Hazard Substances Act B.E. 2551,
there were more than 25,000 hazardous products registered. Presently,
only 9,000 products have been registered. However, there is no country
in the world abolishes the use of pesticides decisively, but they launch
a campaign of usage reduction. In Thailand, it can reduce the use of
agrochemicals by 20-30%. Consequently, if farmers use pesticides wisely
and have enough knowledge to diagnose problems and identify pests
correctly as well as be able to know the features of the products, they
can use it economically and safely in the right time and at an
appropriate rate. (Source: Dr. Weerawut Katanyukul, Ex-President Thai
Agro Business Association).

Consequently, the Company organizes the agriculturist meetings so as to
give them lectures about self-defense by wearing a protective clothing,
proper use and appropriate dosage of chemicals for each crop, and
correct harvesting period as per details prescribed on the label.
Besides, there are a follow up program to ensure if the agriculturists
follow our instructions, in order to instill understanding, reduce the
of using wrong types and overuse of agrochemicals. The overuse may cause
some impact to agriculturists themselves on toxic overdose, pest
resistance, residues in plants and environmental contamination and
adversely affect consumers. In addition, it may cause the losing of
opportunities to export vegetables and fruits.

Project of Excellent Performance, Dividend Shares for Investors

The Company has recognized the importance of a good governance and
transparent management with professionalism to secure the stability of
business. As a result of continuous efforts, the Company has been
selected by the Stock Exchange of Thailand as the Outstanding
Performance Award in 2010 and 2011. However, as the consequence of the
new Hazardous Chemical Act, the Company sustained some operational
impacts as they were required to start the registration process of the
hazardous chemicals, as the existing registration of import,
manufacturing and possession had been annulled under the new Act. At
present, the company can apply more registrations of hazardous
substances. Moreover, the company has focused on the liquidity
management by investing in general fixed income fund, bond, and equity
fund of listed company with regular high performance and dividends paid
to investors to enjoy tax privilege.

According to the performance, the company has been awarded with its
third year of SET Awards for Outstanding Company Performance and the
first year for Best Company Performance Awards for a small company which
incomes under 2 billion baht. The company has provided shareholders with
regular good dividend as per afore mentioned Dividend Policy topic.

In 2017, the company was awarded with the Outstanding Performance Award
for the 4th time and in 2018, the company received the 5th Outstanding
Performance Award and the 2nd Best Performance Award.

Renewal of Retiree Project.

Presently, the elderly people is approximately 14.9% of all population.
It is expected that people aged 60 and above will be around 13 million
people or 20% of all population by 2020. (Information from Department of
Older Persons) That means Thailand is moving towards aging society, but
in fact, the elder people in Thailand still have healthy body and mind.
They can work efficiently from the experiences gain. The company has
policy for retired employees who still have the capability and have
directed experience, healthy, and still want to help company. The
renewal project will be considered annually from accomplishment,
capability and willingness. This is a morale support for those who

families.

Project of Efficient Use of Resources

The Company has promoted the recycling process i.e. re-using paper,
turning off air-conditioning system and lighting during the lunch breaks
or unoccupied office space, taking stairs, taking car pools, etc. Though
the project did not give much quantitative result, but helped instill
the recycling mindset and behaviors in the employees who would treat the
same at their home and such behaviors descend from generation to
generation.

15 minute nap to have healthy brain project

Researches show that sleeping during midday about 10-20 minutes is the
time that your body stays in the Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) period.
When you wake up, you will feel refreshed and rejuvenated and your brain
gets full rest which helps increase work performance. This is called

residue report has never been founded.

Child Safe Room Project
At the factory, hazardous chemicals, flammable substances are kept apart
form that, big trucks moves in and out occasionally. Unforeseen
accidents could happen at any time. It is not a place where employees
could bring their children, or any person into the factory. However, the
company takes into account the circumstances that sometimes, it is
inevitable for employees to take children inside the factory as no one
can take care of their children. The management decides to build an air
conditioned room equipped with enough facilities for children at the
office building which is far from production site. Children can spend
their free time doing homework while waiting for their parents. In order
to bring safety for everyone in the plants, the rules for bringing
children into the factory area are set as follows:

educations. The school were supported the funds from the government by
headcount of students. At the time of survey, there were only 120
students; therefore, the school was rendered insufficient financial
supports for development. Most of students were from poor families.

supports and co-work with the school’s Development Committee Team by

renovating the audio-visual education room which had been closed for
more than 10 years, supplying computers and offering education funds for

from the government to renovate the school building. At present, there
are 300 students at this school.

100 and the minimum was 0. The Company’s employees volunteered to teach
English to the students during the lunch time which was a studying
period. Sometimes, English tutoring classes were arranged on Saturdays
to help the students from grade 5 and 6 to improve the score result.
Moreover, the Company also supported and provided o-net’s exam for grade
6 students. The results have always been satisfactory. The purpose of
coaching students have changed and focused on students to be fun with
English, to be more assertive, and to learn about culture and tradition
of other countries, however, keeping on practicing with O-NET test, and
the result has been with satisfaction.
