Summary of Portfolio of Properties to be Invested in by the
Fund (page 20)
The Fund's investment in or possession of properties, which
consist of leasehold, subleasehold and ownership rights in
real properties and/or movable properties and/or rights and/or
any other properties relating to or connected with those real
properties, is the investment in or possession of properties
held and/or owned by the Related Persons of Central Pattana
Public Company Limited, the Property Manager of the Fund,
before the date of the investment or possession by the
Fund; Such Related Persons are namely:
a) Central Pattana Rama II Co., Ltd., which is a holder of
a leasehold right in the land and an owner of the shopping
complex and public utility systems as well
as facilities within the Central Rama II Shopping Complex;
b) Central Pattana Rama III Co., Ltd., which is an owner of
the land and the Central Rama III Shopping Complex; and
c) Central Realty Service Rama III Co., Ltd., which is an
owner of the public utility systems and facilities within the
Central Rama III Shopping Complex.
The investment in real properties by the Fund as described
above will be in the form of investment in or possession of
sublease rights and leasehold rights in real properties.
Although the Fund will register the long-term leasehold
rights in respect of its investment in such sublease rights
and leasehold rights with competent authorities, there is
a potential risk that the sublease agreements
and/or lease agreements of those real properties could
be terminated. In such event the Fund will lose the right to
receive income therefrom and the rate of returns of
unitholders will be eventually affected. In order to
reduce such potential risk, the Fund has taken steps
as follows:
a) The Fund has sought the consent of and prescribed
conditions in the sublease of land from the landowner
under the lease agreement between Central Pattana
Rama II Co., Ltd. and the landowner, and could procure
protection against risks that may arise from the termination
of such land lease agreement, by obtaining the consent
from the landowner to become the party in the land lease
agreement in place of Central Pattana Rama II Co., Ltd.

Summary of Portfolio of Properties to be Invested in by
the Fund (page 26)
The Fund's investment in or possession of properties,
which consist of leasehold, subleasehold and ownership
rights in real properties and/or movable properties and/or
rights and/or any other properties relating to or connected with
those real properties, is the investment in or possession
of properties held and/or owned by the Related Persons of
Central Pattana Public Company Limited, the Property
Manager of the Fund, before the date of the investment or
possession by the Fund; Such Related Persons are namely:
a) Central Pattana Rama II Co., Ltd., which is a holder
of a leasehold right in the land and an owner of the shopping
complex and public utility systems as well as facilities within
the Central Rama II Shopping Complex;
b) Central Pattana Rama III Co., Ltd., which is an owner
of the land and the Central Rama III Shopping Complex; and
c) Central Realty Service Rama III Co., Ltd., which is an owner
of the public utility systems and facilities within the Central Rama III
Shopping Complex.
The investment in real properties by the Fund as described above
will be in the form of investment in or possession of sublease rights
and leasehold rights in real properties. Although the Fund will register
the long-term leasehold rights in respect of its investment in such
sublease rights and leasehold rights with competent authorities,
there is a potential risk that the sublease agreements and/or lease
agreements of those real properties could be terminated. In such
event the Fund will lose the right to receive income therefrom
and the rate of returns of unitholders will be eventually affected.
In order to reduce such potential risk, the Fund has taken steps
as follows:
a) The Fund has sought the consent of and prescribed
conditions in the sublease of land from the landowner under
the lease agreement between Central Pattana Rama II Co., Ltd.
and the landowner, and could procure protection against risks
that may arise from the termination of such land lease
agreement, by obtaining the consent from the landowner
to become the party in the land lease agreement replacing
Central Pattana Rama II Co., Ltd.
As at the date of preparation of this additional information
(31 October 2006) the Fund is yet to receive such consent
from the landowner. As a result, the Fund agreed with Central
Pattana Public Company Limited and Central Pattana Rama II
Co., Ltd. to procure additional mechanisms until the Fund
can get the consent from the landowner (the Fund and Central
Pattana Public Company Limited and Central Pattana
Rama II Co., Ltd. have agreed to complete process in a timely
manner but no later than 28 February 2007. The mechanisms
include:
1. Central Pattana Rama II Co., Ltd. grants consent to
the Fund to make land rental payments for Central Rama II
Co., Ltd. in case that Central Rama II Co., Ltd. does not make
land rental payment to the landowner as
prescribed in the land lease agreement.
2. Central Pattana Rama II Co., Ltd. will provide evidences
of the land rental payment to the Fund every month.
3. Central Pattana Public Company Limited and/or Central
Pattana Rama II Co., Ltd. will provide collateral acceptable to
the Fund as security for the rental payment in 1 having the value
equivalent to the rent that Central Pattana Rama II
Co., Ltd. will have to pay the landowner for a period
of 2 years.
4. Central Pattana Rama II Co., Ltd. will operate its
business only within a necessary scope of operations in
order to become a low risk company by amending the
memorandum of association relating to its objectives to be
in line with its necessary scope of operations.
5. Central Pattana Public Company Limited agreed to
maintain certain financial ratios acceptable to the Fund, which
will be the same ratios that Central Pattana Public Company
Limited agreed with its financial creditors, being Debt to Equity
(D/E) ratio and Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR).
If Central Pattana Public Company Limited cannot maintain
the level of such ratios and cannot remedy them within 3 months,
Central Pattana Rama II Co., Ltd. or Central Pattana Public
