Although political divisions remain, the Thai economy brushed aside the impact of political disturbances in April and May of this year and this strong economic performance looks set to continue. The Bank of Thailand (BoT) in October once again revised its 2010 GDP forecast upwards to 7.3% - 8.0% (from 6.5% - 7.5%). Private consumption accelerated, aided by low unemployment and subdued inflation. Asian economies continue to expand more robustly compared with other regions on the back of production, consumption and exports. Moody’s Investor Service corroborated this view of an “improvement in fundamentals” of the Thai economy when in October, it raised the outlook on Thailand’s credit rating to stable from positive. The resilience of the Group’s Mass Transit business is also evident in the briskness of rebound in ridership in 2Q 10/11. Following the political disturbances of 1Q 10/11, ridership for 2Q 10/11 rose to 37.8mn passengers, just short of achieving a record ridership in the Group’s history. This is testament to the importance of the BTS SkyTrain to everyday life of Bangkok’s residents as well as the continued efficiency and reliability of the service. The growth of the Group’s Media revenue also continued apace rising 25.6% year-overYear (YoY) and 15.2% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) on the back of expansion of the modern-trade business.

BTS year-to-date Share Price Performance :
In spite of one of the worst floods in Thailand’s history (which are expected to trim 0.2% - 0.3% of 2010 GDP growth), the prospects for the Thai economy remain strong. Going forward, the engine of growth is expected to shift more from exports to domestic consumption. Owing to its local focus, domestic consumption is one of the key earnings drivers of the BTS Group. Ridership figures for October indicate that BTS Group is well on the way to achieve record quarterly ridership, and in 3Q 10/11 the Group looks forward to delivering into service additional capacity in the form of new 4-car trains.

Effective the 1st September the Company was successfully negotiated a 2% reduction in interest rate on the BTSC acquisition financing (outstanding amount as of 30th Sep: THB 8,753.7mn) yet will continue to seek ways of further reducing the Company’s borrowing costs in order to enhance return to shareholders. During November we also expect to see the commencement of trading of BTS-W2. These warrants were offered at no cost to shareholders who subscribed to our rights offering in May and June of this year. Yours faithfully,

2Q 10/11
(3 months ending 30 September 2010)
2Q 10/11 PERFORMANCE As the acquisition of the shares of BTSC and its subsidiaries was considered to be a business combination under common control, the Company has restated the consolidated and separate financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2010 and for the three-month and sixmonth periods ended 30 September 2009, as if BTSC and its subsidiaries, acquired in May 2010, had been a subsidiary of the Company since it was established. BTSG Holdings Public Company Limited (“BTSG” or the “Company”) and subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) recorded consolidated total revenue of THB 2,222.9mn in 2Q 10/11, a reduction of 36.9% (or THB 3,801mn) from THB 6,024.6mn in 2Q 09/10. The reduction was primarily on account of the one-time gain on debt restructuring (THB 4,527.9mn) that the Group recorded in 2Q 09/10. Excluding such nonrecurring items, 2Q 10/11 revenue rose 1.2% to THB 1,514.4mn from 1,496.7mn in 2Q 09/10. Revenues from the Mass Transit, Media, Property and Services businesses accounted for 66.2%, 23.1%, 9.2% and 1.5% of total revenues respectively. 2Q 10/11

Mass Transit revenues include Fare box revenue as well as Service Income from Train Operation Management. Property includes Sales from Real Estate, Rental and Service Income, and Construction & Services Businesses, but excludes Service income related to Thana City Sports & Golf Co. Ltd., which is classified as Services Business

Total excludes Other income of THB [728.3]mn (2Q 10/11) from interest income, gain on deposit of assets as guarantee for debt settlement and others
The Mass Transit business continued to demonstrate robust performance with fare-box revenue rising 7.0% to THB 910.0mn and service income from train operating management rising 85.6% to THB 79.9mn. The latter rose substantially due to the inclusion of operation and maintenance revenue of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system. Overall, Mass Transit costs rose in line with the revenue increase, however the Group did see costs of train operating management rise by THB 51.6mn or 410% to THB 64.2mn on account of initial costs related to the BRT operation as well as higher depreciation following the purchase of BRT buses. The gross profit margin of the Mass Transit business was stable at 43.0% (2Q 09/10: 43.3%). The Media business saw revenues from Rental & advertising services increasing 25.6% (or THB 70.4mn) to THB 345.2mn. This marked growth was attributable to VGI’s Modern Trade business which secured new contracts (such as Tesco radio) but also saw a strong revenue contribution from Point-of View Media (POV), which the Group acquired in October 2009. The Group has been able to leverage its existing sales platform to enlarge POVs customer base and has also introduced new products such as elevator door wrapping. The Media business gross profit margin declined slightly to 65.6% (2Q 09/10: 68.7%) as a result of the increased contribution of Modern Trade business. Although Property operating revenues increased by 52.7% to THB 137.0mn compared to 1Q 10/11, it fell THB 137mn or 52.1% compared with 2Q 09/10. This decline was due to the reduced recognition of revenue in relation to Baan Aur Athorn projects as in 2Q 10/11, the Group’s only remaining project is Baan Aur Athorn Na-Jomtien. Although revenues from sale of real estate increased by 36.9% to THB 30.4mn (on account of increased sales of condominium units at Thana City project), the costs associated with the sales rose by 440% (or THB 79.5mn) to THB 102.8mn. This is because the Company sold some units below cost, as part of a policy to clear out-of date inventory. Within the cost of real estate of THB 102.8mn is an allowance for loss on diminution in value of projects of THB 81.6mn. Assuming the Group continues to sell the remaining units at the same discount to book value, this is expected to be a one-off allowance as the allowance for loss covers the remaining inventory of condominium units at Thana City. The Services business saw revenue rise to THB 22.6mn from THB 0.3mn This was as the period coincided with the beginning of the high season of Thana City Golf (September through March) and improved custom as a result of a more active marketing strategy. Selling & Services Income increased by THB 70.6mn due to the launch of Abstracts brand with a targeted advertising campaign that was broadcast across radio, magazines, newspapers, TV and advertising billboards. The Group reported a net profit of THB 616.8mn for the period (a decline of THB 4,135mn or 87.0% compared with 2Q 09/10 or an increase of THB 860.1mn compared with 1Q 10/11) largely due to the non-recurring items mentioned above. Additionally, finance costs rose by 231%

(or THB 240.1mn) to THB 344.0mn due to the long-term loan that the Company utilised to acquire shares in BTSC in May 2010. However, as expected, interest costs did fall by THB 96.6mn QoQ reflecting the repayment of Tranche A (THB 12,000mn) of the acquisition financing in June 2010. Total assets stood at THB 62,063.8mn, a 1.3% change from end 4Q 09/10. The key changes in the structure of the balance sheet (such as increase in shareholders’ equity from THB 23,820.6mn to THB 37,552.7mn, decrease in ‘Accounts payable from subsidiaries’ acquisition’ from THB 21,155.7mn to THB 0mn) are as a result of the re-statements of accounts in relation to the acquisition of shares in BTSC as a business combination under common control, and these are explained in more detail in the Notes to the financial statements. The Group also saw a net increase in long term loans to THB 9,153.6mn from THB 149.3mn. This is attributable to the acquisition financing that the Company still has outstanding in relation to the acquisition of BTSC shares. During the quarter, the Group also partially cleared some of the liabilities per the rehabilitation plan from its balance sheet. This was achieved by placing 2 assets of book value THB 150.5mn as collateral for debt settlement with the Central Bankruptcy Court. These assets had already been classified as “Assets awaiting transfer under rehabilitation plan” and as such, this line item fell by 66.9% (or THB 151.1mn) to THB 74.5mn and the corresponding liability “Current portion of creditors per rehabilitation plan” fell by 51.7% (or THB 870.4mn) to THB 811.2mn, reflecting the appraised value of such assets. This also resulted in a “Gain on deposit of assets as guarantee for debt settlement” in the amount of THB 708.5mn.
KEY BUSINESS UNIT UPDATES
MASS TRANSIT In 2Q 10/11, quarterly ridership reached 37.8mn passengers, representing a 33.0% increase compared to 1Q 10/11 or 6.6% increase YoY. In fact, the ridership figure was only 111,000 passengers short of achieving a record ridership in BTSC’s operational history. This rapid rebound is testament to the resilience of the Mass Transit business following the political disturbance in 1Q 10/11. Average weekday ridership showed a similar trend rising 6.2% to 464,259 passengers per weekday.

MEDIA In 2Q 10/11 the Group’s Media business began to reap the benefit of the Point-of-View (PoV) acquisition. In the quarter, the Group recognised revenue of THB 29.5mn, an increase from THB 9.1mn in the previous quarter. This begins to reaffirm the rationale for the acquisition as the Group begins to utlise its unique distribution platform and sales force to enhance PoVs operational performance. Further, the Group managed to sign a new product contract with Tesco Lotus for “Tesco FM”. In 2Q 10/11, the Group recognised THB 14.9mn in revenue from this contract. As a result of the strong growth in Modern-trade business in 2Q 10/11, the revenue contribution from the non-BTS related business grew to 39% (from 32% in 1Q 10/11 and from 22% in 2Q 09/10). Further, the margin on the non BTS-related business increased as the Group was able to realise revenues from new products such as Tesco FM and elevator wrap under PoV with little extra cost. As a result the Group saw an improvement in overall Media gross profit margin from 58.1% to 60.1%. Contribution of Revenue (Media business)
