Note: (1) The data presented herein as the cost of sales of our cogeneration facilities is our consolidated financial results less the results of Glow IPP Co., Ltd., Houay Ho Power Co., Ltd and GHECO-One Co., Ltd. In fact, certain of these amounts are attributable to portions of our business, which are not technically our cogeneration facilities, although these amounts represent only a small portion thereof.
The following table sets out our average gas costs for the periods indicated:
Average Effective Cost of Natural Gas(1) Year to Date Ended March 31, 2011 (Bt/mmBTU) Average cost To Glow IPP To Cogeneration facilities(2) 224.7 229.5 221.7 228.5 3.0 0.9 1.4 0.4 2010 (Bt/mmBTU) Difference (Bt/mmBTU) (%)
Note: (1) (2) These are not our actual gas prices, but are derived by taking our total natural gas expenses and dividing by total fuel consumption of the facilities for the periods presented. This is a blended rate, reflecting principally prices paid to PTT (i) by our cogeneration facilities for gas used to supply electricity to EGAT and industrial customers, (ii) for gas used to fire boilers to generate steam for industrial customers. Each of the prices set out in (i) and (ii) are different. We also purchase small amounts of tail gas from another Thai supplier, which prices are separate and are also factored into the foregoing rates.

Purchases of coal accounted for 10.0 per cent of our total expenses in the first quarter 2011. The following table sets out average coal costs for the periods indicated:
Average Cost of Coal(1) Year to Date Ended March 31, 2011 ($/ton) Reference coal price @ 6,700 kcal/kg(2) Freight costs(3) 83.4 12.3 2010 ($/ton) 68.4 11.4 Difference ($/ton) 14.9 0.9 (%) 21.8 7.4
Note: (1) (2) (3) This Average Cost of coal was excluded cost of biomass mix. These are not our actual coal prices, which are subject to various adjustments under the terms of our coal supply contracts, but a benchmark provided to illustrate the general movements in coal prices over the periods presented. These reflect our actual freight and insurance costs.
The key determinants of our fuel expenses are the amounts of electricity and steam produced by our facilities and the efficiency with which we are able to generate such products. The following table sets out the energy production levels and heat rates of our facilities for the periods indicated:
Production and Heat Rates(1) Year to Date Ended March 31, 2011 Glow IPP Equivalent energy production (GWh) Fuel consumption (mmBTU, HHV) Heat rate (BTU/kWhe, HHV) 1,262 8,720,445 6,911 1,371 9,435,301 6,884 2010

Notes: (1) We present an allocated heat rate, which is a deemed heat rate for our cogeneration facilities that we derive by dividing the total fuel energy consumption of such facilities over a specified period of time by the energy produced during such period. This is not a straightforward exercise, particularly with respect of our Glow SPP 2/SPP 3 hybrid facility, where, for purposes of such calculation, we are required to allocate the amount of energy produced using steam and the amount of energy used producing gas. We make this allocation on the basis of the contribution of each energy source to total energy input, which involves subjective judgments and the use of simplifying assumptions. Nevertheless, this table has included production and heat rates of the new CFB 3 coal fired unit. Includes production of electricity and steam. For these purposes, steam has been converted into MW at a deemed equivalent electrical energy value. CFB start-up gas is charged to the coal heat rates for purposes of the figures presented in this table.

Results of operations
Our Other Income consists mainly of revenue from net exchange gains, interest income and other items. There was no net exchange gain in the first quarter 2011 whereas in the same period 2010 there was a net exchange gain of Baht 380.5 million. This exchange gain was derived mainly from the US dollar denominated debt in Glow IPP, GHECO-One and Houay Ho Power1 which are being served by the US dollar-linked and US dollar revenue from sales of electricity to EGAT. We recognized interest income of Baht 20.7 million in the first quarter 2011, an increase of Baht 6.8 million from Baht 13.9 million in the same period 2010. The interest income was principally attributable to interest earned on cash held in the form of deposits, instruments and in reserve accounts under our project financing agreements. Others income in first quarter 2011 amounted to Baht 21.8 million decreased from Baht 220.8 million in the same period 2010 due to the record of compensation on construction postponement from commercial operation delayed of CFB 3 project amounted of Baht 215.4 million in the first quarter 2010. As a result of the foregoing, total revenues in the first quarter 2011 amounted to Baht 8,956.9 million, a 5.1 per cent decrease from Baht 9,438.8 million in the same period 2010.
Expenses
Cost of sales of goods was Baht 7,297.0 million in the first quarter 2011, a 3.7 per cent increased from Baht 7,038.4 million in the same period 2010, which increase was attributable to the following factors: IPP facilities IPP facilities cost of natural gas from Glow IPP was Baht 1,958.9 million in the first quarter 2011, a 6.3 per cent decrease from Baht 2,091.0 million in the same period 2010. This decrease was principally caused by fuel volume consumption decreased by 7.6 per cent, as a result of lower EGAT dispatch, despite higher gas price. IPP facilities cost of diesel from Glow IPP increased by 0.1 per cent to Baht 1.8 million in the first quarter 2011. IPP facilities maintenance costs were Baht 15.3 million in the first quarter 2011 increased by 87.3 per cent mainly due to the routine maintenance and A inspection performed in the first quarter 2011.

IPP facilities depreciation and amortization costs were Baht 291.5 million in the first quarter 2011, a 4.8 per cent decrease from Baht 306.1 million in the same period 2010. IPP facilities other costs of sales of goods were Baht 53.3 million in the first quarter 2011, a 26.2 per cent decrease from Baht 72.2 million in the same period 2010. IPP facilities other costs of sales of goods consist mainly of water, chemicals, and general overhead costs, where overhead costs decreased slightly year on year. Cogeneration facilities
Our cogeneration facilities cost of natural gas was Baht 3,233.5 million in the first quarter 2011, a 0.7 per cent decrease from Baht 3,257.4 million in the same period 2010. This decrease was principally caused by 1.1 per cent lower fuel consumption despite higher average gas price increased by 0.4 per cent. Our cogeneration facilities cost of coal was Baht 753.2 million in the first quarter 2011, a 63.5 per cent increase from Baht 460.7 million in the same period 2010. The increase was principally because the reference coal price at FOB increased by 21.8 per cent, from 68.4 USD/ton to 83.4 USD/ton as well as the coal consumption increased by 49.0 percent due to full quarter operation of CFB3 unit in the first quarter 2011. Our cogeneration facilities maintenance costs were Baht 190.0 million in the first quarter 2011, a 22.4 per cent increase from Baht 155.2 million in the same period 2010 mainly due to the A inspection of boiler in the first quarter of 2011. Our cogeneration facilities depreciation and amortization costs were Baht 450.0 million in the first quarter 2011, a 18.0 per cent increase from Baht 381.3 million in the same period 2010 due to the record of depreciation for CFB 3 unit for the whole period. Our cogeneration facilities other costs of sales of goods were Baht 349.4 million in the first quarter 2011, a 14.8 per cent increase from Baht 304.5 million in the same period of 2010.
Selling and administrative expenses in the first quarter 2011 amounted to Baht 126.5 million, a 6.4 per cent increase from Baht 118.9 million in the same period 2010. This was attributable to the following factors: Depreciation and amortization amounted to Baht 13.4 million in the first quarter 2011, an 83.1 per cent increase from Baht 7.3 million in the same period 2010 due to record of depreciation for CFB 3 unit. Other selling and administrative expenses amounted to Baht 113.1 million in the first quarter 2011, a 1.4 per cent increase from Baht 111.6 million in the same period 2010.
There was net exchange loss in the first quarter 2011 amounted of Baht 73.2 million, whereas no net exchange loss in the same quarter 2010. This exchange loss is derived mainly from the US dollar-denominated debt in Glow IPP, GHECO-One and Houay Ho Power1 which are being served by the US dollar-linked and US dollar revenue from sales of electricity to EGAT. As a result of the foregoing, our total expenses in the first quarter 2011 were Baht 7,499.2 million, a 4.8 per cent increase from Baht 7,159.4 million in last year.
Finance costs
Our finance costs in the first quarter 2011 were Baht 352.5 million, an increase of 13.1 per cent from Baht 311.8 million in the same period 2010. The finance costs consist mainly of interest expenses and financial fee. Our interest expenses in the first quarter 2011 were Baht 306.3 million, an increase of 3.1 per cent from Baht 297.0 million in the same period 2010 mainly due to the higher net outstanding debt at Glow Energy, uncapitalized portion of interest expenses of CFB3 Project started commercial operation since November 2010.

Minority Interest
There was a net loss attributed to minority interest of Baht 39.5 million in the first quarter 2011, whereas the attribution to minority interest in that period of 2010 was net profit of Baht 112.6 million. The net loss attributed to minority interest in the first quarter 2011 was principally due to net exchange loss of Baht 63.1 million in GHECO-One.
Net Profit
As a result of the foregoing, our net profit in the first quarter 2011 was Baht 951.8 million, a 42.9 per cent decrease from Baht 1,667.3 million in the same period 2010.
