The account auditor noted his opinions in the auditors' report for the
first quarter financial statements of 1996 that:
"...Investment in Dusit Sinthorn Co Ltd, one affiliate, showed in the
quarterly financial statements ending March 31, 1996 using equity method.
The financial statements of this affiliate, however, did not include net
loss that were not allocated of subsidiaries abroad. This was because the
financial statements of those subsidiaries were not yet audited and the
information was not sufficient to be shown using equity method..."
In addition, the auditor also noted his opinions for the first quarter
consolidated financial statements of 1996 that:
"...The financial statements did not include account items of
Philippine Hoteliers Inc., in which DTC holds 76.21% shares as of March 31,
1996, and Dusit Thani Delaware Co Ltd, in which DTC holds 100% stake as
of March 31, 1996 and 1995. This was because the financial statements of
those subsidiaires were not audited and the information was not enough to
prepare the equity method book. The company however has showed gain/loss
from profit (loss) that are not allocated, of these subsidiaries in the
profit and loss statements. In addition, investment in Dusit Sinthorn Co
Ltd, one affiliate, was shown in the consolidated financial statements
for period ending March 31, 1996 by the equity method. But the financial
statements of this affiliate did not include gain/loss from net loss of
subsidiairies aboard because the financial statements of this subsidiaries
were not audited and the information was not sufficient..."
