For the year of 2013, operating results were Industrial Estate Sales of 2,200 rai (880 acres or 352 hectares), with 101 contracts, 60 new customers and 41 project expansions from existing customers.

Foreign Direct Investment in Thailand reflected Baht 1,027 billion approved projects for the year of 2013 by the Board of Investment, a 4% increase from the same period of 2012.

For Power Business, our first 126 MW SPP power project with Gulf J-Power, namely GJPNLL, commenced its commercial operation in May 2013. Gheco-One, a 660 MW IPP power project with Hemaraj 35% shareholding, which had initial teething start up performance, was successfully operating at near 100% availability by year end 2013.

Hemaraj realized an extra gain on this transaction of Baht 2,527.2 million booked in Quarter 4’2013, or net Baht 1,458.6 million after rental revenue reserve, income tax, and minority interest.

Thailand is impacted by political discourse having a negative effect on growth, tourism, and the smooth functioning of government. While no direct effect to our industrial customers operations, this has impacted investment timing. We are exercising additional caution in our business plans.

Hemaraj investments are progressing with a broad balanced growth in our core business areas - industrial estates, utilities, power, ready-built factories, logistics parks, and properties. Our 2013 results demonstrate the improving predictability of Hemaraj revenue and earnings. Our strategy remains to provide superior long term returns to shareholders.”
