As at June 30, 2000, Dusit Hotels and Resorts Company Limited (formerly Dusit Resort Cha-
am Company Limited) held 106,300 ordinary shares of the Company. The acquisition cost was

The financial statements for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2000 of
Supsinthanee Company Limited have also been reviewed by another auditor of the same firm
whose report thereon stated that nothing has come to her attention that causes her to
believe that the financial statements are not presented fairly, in all material respects,
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles with an explanatory paragraph
regarding the uncertainty on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern.
Management already has plans to resolve this problem. During the year 1999, this
subsidiary had increased its share capital by issuing preferred shares and entered into
debt restructuring agreement with the creditor. In addition, the subsidiary will revise
its marketing plans in order to increase operating cash flows. On April 26, 2000, the
shareholders meeting of Supsinthanee Company Limited passed a special resolution to
decrease the capital of the company from Baht 213.00 million to Baht 53.25 million by a
reduction of the par value from Baht 100 per share to Baht 25 per share. However, the
number of outstanding shares remains the same which are 930,000 preferred shares and
1,200,000 ordinary shares, totalling 2,130,000 shares. The resolution will be registered
with the Registrar of Partnerships and Companies at a later date. As at June 30, 2000,
the subsidiary is in the process of complying with the said resolution. The
aforementioned decreased in capital does not effect to financial position and operation of
Royal Princess Public Company Limited since the company has recognized net loss of this
subsidiary until its investment in ordinary shares and preferred shares has been reduced
to zero. As at June 30, 2000, the Company had an indirect equity interest of 79.65% of
Supsinthanee Company Limited and this company had total assets of Baht 260.47 million and
total revenues for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2000 of Baht 42.05
million and Baht 50.29 million, respectively, which included gain on debts restructuring
amount of Baht 37.95 million, or 6.71%, 7.07% and 3.91% of the related consolidated
totals.
If the two subsidiaries are unable to continue as a going concern, they may be required to
realize their assets and extinguish their liabilities other than in the normal course of
business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial statements. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should these two subsidiaries not continue as a going
concern.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
3.1 The Company and subsidiaries use the same accounting policies and calculation
method in these interim financial statements as compared with the financial statements of
1999. A number of new Accounting Standards were issued and became effective from January
1, 2000. The significant changes arising therefrom affecting the Company and subsidiaries
are in respect of presentation of interim financial reporting and related party
disclosures.
3.2 The Company has changed its accounting procedure for the recognition of the net
loss of subsidiaries which exceeded the Companys investments in those subsidiaries. Since
September 30, 1999, the Company has recorded all of its share of loss of subsidiary plus
the minority shareholders share of loss to the extent that they do not exceed the
subsidiaries debt guaranteed by the Company. For the quarter and six-month period ended
June 30, 1999, the Company recorded the net loss of subsidiaries to the extent of the
investment and the subsidiaries debt which is guaranteed by the Company according to the
percentage of shareholding. Accordingly, the financial statements for such quarter and
six-month period presented here for comparison have been adjusted to reflect the effect of
the changes in accounting procedure retroactively. As a result, basic earnings per share
in the consolidated financial statements for the quarter and six-month period ended June
30, 1999 decreased by Baht (0.001) and Baht (0.168), respectively, and in the Companys
financial statements for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 1999 increased
(decreased) by Baht 0.010 and Baht (0.163), respectively, from the previously reported
amount.
