High Resource consuming SQL in Statspack ?

Folks

Qs 1 Is the following SQL being fired by the Application (& NOT internally by 
the Oracle Database)? ... Does the message "Module: JDBC Thin Client" prove 
this?

Qs 2 Why is the "% Total" so High i.e. 49.7 ? Any approaches for handling this 
issue?

Config:-
Oracle 10.2.0.1 (NON-RAC)
$ uname -a
HP-UX SPEHPPA1 B.11.11 U 9000/800 480485360 unlimited-user license

Cheers & Thanks V much

P.S. Bad SQL:-

SQL ordered by CPU  DB/Inst: LOSDB/LOSDB  Snaps: 552-554
-> Resources reported for PL/SQL code includes the resources used by all SQL
   statements called by the code.
-> Total DB CPU (s):             121
-> Captured SQL accounts for   78.9% of Total DB CPU
-> SQL reported below exceeded  1.0% of Total DB CPU
