2 Report of Independent Auditor To The Board of Directors and Shareholders of The Oriental Hotel (Thailand) Public Company Limited I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Oriental Hotel (Thailand) Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the separate financial statements of The Oriental Hotel (Thailand) Public Company Limited for the same years. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company s management as to their correctness and completeness of the presentation. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits. I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, the aforementioned financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Oriental Hotel (Thailand) Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries and of The Oriental Hotel (Thailand) Public Company Limited as at 31 December 2003 and 2002 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards pronounced by the Institute of Certified Accountants and Auditors of Thailand which are effective under the Accounting Act B.E However, the accounting policies for deferred taxation (see Note 3.6) are based on the relevant International Accounting Standard since no corresponding Thai accounting standard has been pronounced

12 Significant accounting policies adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries are summarized below :- 3.1 Revenue Revenue from hotel and restaurant operations represents the invoiced value of goods supplied and services rendered after deducting discounts, value added tax and service charge. 3.2 Trade accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts Trade accounts receivable are stated at their net realisable value. Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for the estimated losses that may incurred in the collection of receivables. The allowance is based on collection experience and the current status of receivables outstanding at the balance sheet date. 3.3 Property, plant and equipment and depreciation No depreciation is provided on land and construction in progress, which are recorded at cost. Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on the costs of buildings, plant, machinery, motor vehicles, furniture and fixtures is provided on a straight-line basis at the following rates per annum :- Buildings 2.5 percent Building improvements 5 percent Leasehold improvements and renovations 20 percent Plant and machinery 10 or 20 percent Furniture and fixtures 10 or 20 percent Motor vehicles 20 percent Operating equipment consisting of china, glassware, silver, linen and uniforms is recorded as hotel operating equipment and expensed upon issuance. The initial complement of operating equipment and the cost of operating equipment when an existing outlet changes its theme or style is charged to deferred expenses and written off over 36 months.

28 24. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial risk management and policies The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to risks from changes in market interest rates and in currency exchange rates, and from nonperformance of contractual obligations by counterparties. The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative instruments, as and when it is considered appropriate, to manage such risks. They do not hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Interest rate risk The interest rate risk is the risk that future movements in market interest rates will affect the results of the Company and its subsidiaries operations and cash flows. The Company and its subsidiaries exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to their deposits with financial institutions and loans. Since the majority of these financial assets and liabilities are short-term, therefore the Company and its subsidiaries do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge such risk. The details of longterm loans are set out in Note 11 and 12. Foreign currency risk The Company and its subsidiaries exposure to foreign currency risk relates primarily to their certain receivables and payables which are denominated in foreign currencies. In addition to those transactional exposures, a subsidiary is also exposed to the effect of foreign exchange movements on its investment in foreign associated company, which currently is not hedged by any derivative financial instrument. However, the Company and its subsidiaries believe that foreign currency risk will have no material effect to their operational results and they therefore do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge this risk. Below is the summary of the Company and its subsidiaries foreign currency-denominated assets/liabilities as at 31 December 2003 which were unhedged. The majority of these liabilities are repayable within one year

29 (Unit : Million) Average exchange rate as at Consolidated The Company Only 31 December 2003 Foreign currency Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities (Baht per foreign currency unit) United States dollar Euro Credit risk The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to credit risk primarily with respect to trade accounts receivable in that sales are principally made to travel agents, credit card companies and companies with secure financial position. The Company and its subsidiaries have never experienced significant difficulties in debt collection and the management, believes that the maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of the financial assets less allowance for losses as stated in the balance sheets. Fair value Since the majority of the financial assets are short-term and that the loans carry interest at rates close to current market rates, the management believes that the fair value of the Company and its subsidiaries financial assets and liabilities does not materially differ from their carrying value. 25.
