Reference is made to the news mentioned on the newspaper regarding the Company's sales in 2009 and 2010, the Company would like to clarify that only the economics climate and petrochemical and refinery industry have been discussed. We also revealed that the consensus of the average crude oil price for the year 2010 is USD 80 per barrel of which it is 15% incremental from 2009. Hence, the total sales of those in the refinery industry shall increase accordingly.

Please also noted that financial results of 2009 are still under preparation, which will be proposed to the Board of Directors and disclosed through SET in a timely manner.

Please be informed accordingly.
