MANDARIN ORIENTAL INTERNATIONAL LIMITED
INTERIM REPORT 2000


Mandarin Oriental International Limited today announced that the first half of the year saw
a significant step forward in the development of the Group with the acquisition of The
Rafael Group, increasing its room portfolio from 5,800 to 7,000, and with the reopening of
the London hotel following an extensive renovation programme.


PERFORMANCE
Mandarin Oriental’s performance in the six months benefited from the continued recovery
in its Hong Kong hotels. However, this was more than offset by operating costs associated
with the closure of the London hotel. As a result, consolidated profit before interest and
tax for the six months ended 30th June 2000 was US$18 million compared with
US$21 million in the first half of 1999. Higher interest and tax charges also contributed to
the lower consolidated profit after tax and minority interests at US$3 million, compared
with US$9 million in 1999.


Earnings per share for the half year were US¢0.32, a decrease of 75% from US¢1.28 in
1999.


The Board has declared an interim dividend of US¢0.50 per share which is unchanged
from 1999. The dividend will be payable in cash.


GROUP REVIEW
Turning to the operations, the Chairman, Simon Keswick, said that improved
performances from the Group’s Hong Kong hotels were led by Mandarin Oriental, Hong
Kong which increased its occupancy to 76% in the first six months of 2000 compared with
62% in 1999. Occupancy at The Excelsior continued to be strong at 86%. Average room
rates at the two hotels improved but remained below levels achieved before the economic
downturn.


In the rest of Asia, the hotels in Manila and Jakarta were affected by continuing economic
uncertainty while the hotels in Singapore and Macau performed satisfactorily. The
Oriental, Bangkok did well despite the commencement of a self-financed US$30 million
rooms renovation programme in mid-May. The renovations will be carried out over a
two-year period during the summer months.

In London, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park reopened in late May and has shown
encouraging results to date. The renovation programme, costing approximately
£50 million since acquisition, was more extensive than anticipated due to the degree of
complexity in improving the structure of this heritage building. A state-of-the-art spa
facility will open in the autumn to complete the repositioning of this property as one of
London’s finest hotels.


Results from the Group’s North American hotels continued to improve. In particular,
Kahala Mandarin Oriental, Hawaii increased its occupancy from 56% to 67% while
maintaining its average room rate.


The results of the newly acquired Rafael hotels had no material effect on the half year as
the results were consolidated only from late May when the acquisition was completed.
June results were in line with expectations.


Corporate resources have been strengthened to support the Group’s growth strategy. A US
office has been established to provide management services to the Group’s growing North
American portfolio. The Group’s new brand advertising campaign was launched and the
sales force was increased significantly in major regional centres.


DEVELOPMENTS
The Group acquired The Rafael Group, an operator of six distinctive luxury hotels in
North America and Europe. The consideration for the acquisition was US$143 million
which was financed out of proceeds from a Rights Issue in early 2000 of approximately
US$150 million.


Mandarin Oriental, Miami is on schedule to open in late 2000 and work is progressing on
Mandarin Oriental, New York, scheduled to open in late 2003.


The Group’s strategy remains focussed on positioning Mandarin Oriental as one of the
world’s leading luxury hotel brands with a growing presence in North America and
Europe. The objective is to increase the number of rooms under operation to 10,000 and a
number of opportunities are being pursued.

OUTLOOK
In conclusion, Simon Keswick said, “The reopening of the London hotel and the addition
of the Rafael hotels will contribute positively to results, although this will be partially
offset by higher finance costs. The Group’s results in the second half of the year will also
benefit from the continued recovery in Hong Kong.”

   Tax on profits has been calculated at rates of taxation prevailing in the territories in
   which the Group operates. Taxation includes United Kingdom tax credit of US$865,000
   (1999: US$1,300,000).

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE

   Basic earnings per share are calculated on the profit after tax and minority interests of
   US$2.5 million (1999: US$9.3 million) and on the weighted average number of
   789.3 million (1999: 726.6 million) shares in issue during the period. The weighted
   average number excludes the Company’s shares held by the Trustee under the
   Company’s Senior Executive Share Incentive Schemes.

   Diluted earnings per share are calculated on the weighted average number of shares after
   adjusting for the number of shares which are deemed to be issued for no consideration
   under the Senior Executive Share Incentive Schemes based on the average share price
   during the period. The convertible bonds are anti-dilutive and therefore are ignored in
   calculating diluted earnings per share.

                                                                Ordinary shares in millions

   Weighted average number of shares in issue                            789.3       726.6
   Adjustment for shares deemed to be issued for no consideration          1.6         1.4
   Weighted average number of shares for diluted earnings per share      790.9       728.0
