1Q 10/11 was a milestone quarter in the history of BTS Group Holdings Public Company Limited (formerly known as Tanayong Public Company Limited). On the positive side, BTS Group Holdings Public Company Limited (“BTSG” or the “Company”) completed the acquisition of 94.6% of the shares in Bangkok Mass Transit System Plc (BTSC), the largest Transportation sector Merger & Acquisition deal in Thailand’s history. The Company consequently changed its name and trading symbol (from “TYONG” to “BTS”) and was re-classified from the Property sector to the Transportation & Logistics sector of the Services industry category of the Thai Stock Exchange. The THB 40,034.5mn acquisition cost was funded 48.4% (or THB 19,378.8mn) via the issuance of 28,166.9mn newly issued Company shares and 51.6% (or THB 20,655.7mn) via a THB 21,000mn facility provided by Bangkok Bank Plc. The acquisition however had an adverse affect on 1Q 10/11 interest costs. The bridging component of this facility (THB 12,000mn) has subsequently been repaid via a successful rights offering to the Company’s existing shareholders and private placement of the Company’s shares to financial institutions.

On the negative side, BTSC was hit severely by the political demonstrations that paralysed much of Bangkok during April and May. Consequent closure of the SkyTrain system had an adverse impact on ridership, although this has subsequently recovered to the record levels achieved in March 2010. To some degree, the timing of the street protests during April and May had less impact as during 1Q the SkyTrain experiences a seasonal drop in ridership due to the school holiday period. BTSC estimates that the total revenue lost on mass transit as a result of the protests was approximately THB 150mn, however, BTSC is confident that it can recover this revenue during the rest of FY 10/11

In addition to the quick rebound in SkyTrain ridership, the Thai economy is demonstrating strong positive momentum. Economic indicators report favourable growth across exports, domestic consumption and private investment. Gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecasts have been revised upwards by the World Bank and the Bank of Thailand (BoT). In July 2010, the BoT revised its 2010 GDP growth forecast to 6.5%-7.5% from 4.3%-5.8%. Against this backdrop we expect a strongly improved operating performance for 2Q’ 10/11. The Investor Relations team looks forward to bringing you details in its next Quarterly Review and being of continuing service to the investment community. Yours faithfully,

Daniel Ross Financial Director
