The Company’s activities are exposed to various financial risks such as market risk (including foreign exchange rate risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program is focused on unpredictable financial markets and the Company strives to minimize the effects that have the potential to harm financial performance.

The Company uses various methods to measure the risks it faces. This method includes sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk, exchange rates and other price risks.

Market Risk

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities. Management has established a policy that requires the Company to manage the risk of foreign exchange rates against its functional currency.

Price Risk

The Company is exposed to price risk, mainly due to purchase of molasses which is the main material. The molasses price is affected by several factors, such as demand and supply. The effect of price risk results to an increase in production cost.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is mainly related to loans and interest-bearing assets and liabilities, such as bank loans. The Company’s policy is to get the most favorable interest rates.

Credit risk

The Company has credit risks that mainly come from deposits in banks, credits given to customers, and other receivables. The Company manages credit risk associated with deposits in banks by monitoring reputation and limiting the aggregate risk to any individual counterparty.

With regard to credit exposure given to customers, most of which come from sales activities, the Company monitors the credit portfolio on an ongoing basis and manages the collection of receivables to minimize credit risk.

There is no concentration of credit risk as the Company has diversified its portfolio to various customers. There has been no history of significant defaults from customers.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is a risk wherein the Company may not be able to meet its current obligation. Prudent liquidity risk management includes managing the profile of borrowing maturities and maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents, and ensuring the availability of funding from an adequate amount of committed revolving credit facilities.

The Company’s ability to fund its borrowing requirements is managed by maintaining diversified funding sources with adequate committed funding lines from high quality lenders and by monitoring rolling short-term forecasts of the Company’s cash and debt on the basis of expected cash flows.

In addition, the Company monitors the timely collection of its trade receivables on weekly basis and immediately sends reminder to customers for any delay in payment.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the Risk Management System

The Company identifies and evaluates risks through each department. The Board of Directors together with the Internal Audit Unit and the Board of Commissioners represented by the Audit Committee conduct a study and formulate the management and mitigation strategies needed. In addition, the risk management system implemented by the Company is able to mitigate any possibility of risk occurrence.

The amount of remuneration for the Board of Commissioners, the Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee is determined based on key performance indicators as well the Company’s financial condition. The Annual GMS authorizes the Board of Commissioners to determine the remuneration of the Board of Directors, the Board of Commissioners, and the Audit Committee.
