Mandarin Oriental AGM Held in Bermuda

Hamilton, Bermuda, June 10, 1998 - At the Annual General Meeting of Mandarin Oriental nternational Limited held today in Bermuda, the Chairman, Mr. Simon Keswick, said, "At the time our results were announced in March, I indicated that the outlook for 1998 was not encouraging given the difficult business conditions and declining travel and tourism in the Asia Pacific region. The impact on the Group's two hotels in Hong Kong has been significant, although they still compare favourably with their direct competitors.

The continuing economic difficulties throughout Asia, not least in Japan, as well as the recent turmoil in Indonesia mean that a further deterioration can be expected in travel and tourism throughout the Region, which will continue to affect our Asian hotels for some time."
