The acquisition cost was Baht 2.64 million which was presented as investments available for sale in the consolidated balance sheet.

All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. /3 - 3 - The financial statements for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 of Korat Thani Corporation Limited were reviewed by another auditor of the same firm, whose report thereon stated that she can not provide any assurance on the financial statements due to the material uncertainty on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. This has been resulted from legal proceedings against this company for repayment of debts by the lender in December 1999. As at September 30, 2000, the Company had an indirect equity interest of 54.16% in Korat Thani Corporation Limited and this company had total assets of Baht 205.76 million and total revenues for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 of Baht 14.68 million and Baht 45.70 million, respectively, or 5.28%, 2.66% and 2.48% of the related consolidated totals.

Management has implemented plans to resolve this issue. 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 was registered with the Registrar of Partnerships and Companies on September 21, 2000. 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 September 30, 2000, the Company had an indirect equity interest of 79.64% in Supsinthanee Company Limited and this company had total assets of Baht 260.62 million and total revenues for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 of Baht 5.05 million and Baht 55.33 million, respectively, (included gain on debts restructuring amount of Baht 37.95 million), or 6.68%, 0.91% and 3.01 % of the related consolidated totals.
