Rose Sound, R.S.Group's first music business, was established by Khun Kriangkrai Chotchetsak in 1976. A new company was registered in 1992 as R.S. Promotion (1992) Co., which was later to become R.S.Promotion (Public Company) Limited. Since May 2003, the company has been listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. From the outset, Kriangkrai Chotchetsak instituted a method of working based on integrity. In its early years, R.S. Group was simply a music company with a production team and a tape cassette factory that also acted as producer for other music companies. In marketing, though, R.S. had few rivals thanks to its long experience in the music business and its good relationship with distributors. This helped the Group to distribute its music products to consumers throughout Thailand. Originally, only Thai traditional and country songs were the main stock of Thailand's music business. RS was the first company to introduce modern pop music to the industry, and its bands at the time included Kereeboon, Rainbow, Ruam Dao Artists and Noppakao. They boosted not only the revenue but also the reputation of RS. Pop fans knew them well; they helped to build the market for pop music and led the way for new artists to follow them.

With the vision and leadership of the brothers Kriengkrai and Surachai Chetchotisak, RS saw new opportunities for expansion. The company extended its interests into the entertainment industry with TV programmes and drama series, radio advertising and management, and film productions that returned a notable increase in its revenue.

004 R.S. Promotion Public Company Limited ...... 1976 Mr Kriangkrai Chetchotisak entered the music business by forming Rose Sound Company. 1992 Chetchotisak Family registered a new company, R.S.Promotion 1992 Co., Ltd and announced the company's new positioning as an integrated entertainment company rather than a music company. It entered other branches of the entertainment industry, namely radio and television, and established the R.S. Star Club, the first music business fan club in Thailand. 1995 The company moved decisively into the movie business with "Lok Tang Bai Hai Nai Kon Diew" (Romantic Blue), a great success in terms of the profits it attracted and the critical awards it received. 1997 "Shock Game", the talk-of-the-town game show, was the company's initial entry in the television business. 1999 The company formed Sky-High Network as its offical entry into the radio business. At that time, it had two radio stations, 88.5 Z POP We Like, targeted on the Z generation; and 98 Cool FM, an easy listening station. 2002 Significant business re-structuring and re-organizing culminated in RS being elevated to a Public Limited Company. 2003 The company was listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand in the Entertainment and Recreation category.

In 2003, the company seized the opportunity to restructure its music business by dividing the production team into independent music companies. They would be responsible for producing as well as for public relations and marketing, as they saw fit. This led to a greater variety of music and increased flexibility in the distribution planning, with more specifically identified target groups. The changes were not complete until the end of the year, so more time will be needed before the results fully materialize; as there will be more kinds of music and more albums.

In 2003, RS sold some eight million units including top ten favourite albums from I-Nam, D2B, Hyper, Parn Tanaporn Wagprayoon, B-Mix, Baby Bull, Bovi, Pink, Nai Kunchid and Tid Laem and Neo X.

014 R.S. Promotion Public Company Limited ...... It was a competitive year for the media business, whether TV, radio or publishing, as there was more spending on commercials because of the improved economy. Always assertive, RS became the leading entrepreneur in all media, and we expanded by increasing the broadcasting time on Channel 9 and iTV, adopting another radio station, which is the 93MHz of the Navy radio station and launching the women's magazine, FRONT. Our TV output in 2003 consisted of music video programmes, drama series, variety shows and children's programmes. On the radio, our three stations targetted all age groups from pre-teens to teenagers and working people. In the publishing business, as well as introducing FRONT, the company launched nine pocket books, which were popular with readers.

In 2003, RS produced seven movies. After they were screened in and around Bangkok, the company sold the copyright to provincial distributors, and the movies also went to VCD and DVD for sale. Selling copyright to foreign customers is another distribution channel that the company believes has the potential to create a handsome income in 2004. This year, RS looks forward to producing more good movies that are oriented to the demand of the market, and expects to put another seven movies on the screen. Other RS productions were TV commercials and drama series. These included the Buddhanubhap and Ka-Wao Ti Bang Pleng drama series for Channel 3, and Jone Plon Jai for Channel 7.

4. Business descriptions RS Group's major entertainment business incorporates music, media including television, radio, magazine publishing, films, TV drama series and programme production.

4.1 Music There are five factors driving the success to RS Group's businesses:

1) RS Group employs a fully integrated business model managing all types of related business. As a company associated with a number of artists, RS Group has produced a variety of music with continuous releases onto the market. The company's music products are screened by its Music Committee to ensure the quality and market's popularity. 2) The Committee is composed of four separate units: pre-production, music production, music promotion, and distribution. It is RS Group's policy to generate products in an appropriate quantity and of good quality. It places its priority on released products driving investment. 3) RS Group utilises its television, radio and Internet media to facilitate public relations programmes. 4) Efficient distribution transfers products to end customers speedily; effective inventory control management can adjust appropriate levels of stock. 5) Efficient music copyright management creates added revenue for the business.

Music business acquires most of its revenue from the following five sources: 1) Sale of products, new or compilation albums in the form of cassettes, CDs, VCDs and DVDs; 2) Advertising and promotion campaigns invested with products' owners; 3) Tickets and sponsors from concert events; 4) Commission from its artists as presenters; 5) Copyright collection from ringtone downloading and karaoke copyright collection.

4.1.1 Products and Services Descriptions RS Music Company produces Thai modern and country songs as well as international songs for foreign companies.

4.1.1.1 Music Production Factors Pre-Production Unit The Pre-Production Unit under the management of RS Group is an experienced team whose responsibility covers recruitment, selection and development focussing on potential artists. By introducing new artists, the company has extended opportunities to produce more outcomes in music, drama series, advertising and films.

Music Production Unit RS Music Production Unit has 12 teams, each with a producer, creative, song writer, tune writer and composer skilled and experienced in their field. They combine to produce quality music in a variety of styles. The Music Production Unit is responsible for making complete master tapes in the studio and sending them to the RS subsidiary K. Master Factory. Then they are transformed into cassette tapes, CDs, VCDs and DVDs and passed on to end customers through wholesale and retail outlets.

027 R.S. Promtion Public Company Limited Music Promotion Music Promotion is responsible for marketing campaigns, distribution systems, sales and feedback follow-up, and marketing plan adjustment. Its marketing strategies influence sales volumes, product life cycle and artists' popularity. The Music Promotion team works closely with Music Production unit to ensure that the music is produced as planned.

Artists/Singers RS Group currently has 200 artists and singers under its management including solo singers and groups who all have different styles. RS artists and singers include:

Solo Group Male Dunk-Pankorn, James-Ruengsak, Joni Anwar, D2B, I-nam, Hyper, Pluem, Sandstone, B-Mix, Polsant, Ford-Sopchai, Anan Anwar, Tannatorn, 3Plus1, Strikerz, Mono, Motif, A Cappela 7, Joe-Thanarat, Keng-Jakapong, Nutt, Nathan, Out, Pa-tong-ko, Baby Bull, Dance Army, Mathew Dean, Bovy, Touch Na Takuatung Neo-X, Bogie-Dodge, Kanchit-Tidleam

4.1.1.2 Compilation Albums This is another income-generating channel with copyright collection. Most customers buy newly released albums and have favorite songs; others prefer to collect compilation albums. Compilation albums therefore have their own market, and are poised for growth.

4.1.1.3 Concerts and Events Concerts free or paid for will be organised after the release of an album to stimulate sales and create a close relationship between artists and audience. Artists and singers presented in special events form another revenue-producing channel. The company cooperates with sponsors in music marketing campaigns to promote its products among target groups using the company's artists as presenters. These events may be concerts, game shows or tours.

028 R.S. Promtion Public Company Limited 4.1.1.4 Copyright Collection Business Thai Copyright Collection Co., Ltd. (TCC) manages copyright for owners. In 2003, TCC was dedicated to developing license and copyright collection systems. It is acknowledged as the prototype of efficient copyright collection and manages the copyright of more than 30,000 songs for R.S. Promotion Plc., as well as music companies and songwriters. From 1 January 2004, TCC extended its copyright collection network to companies by distributing the copyright to modifier mini-disk (MD) karaoke VCDs of almost 30,000 songs.

TCC earns revenue from copyright collection, and means to extend collection to companies that distribute copyright works to radio stations and paid TV channels.

4.1.1.5 Other Copyright Revenue The company can earn other copyright revenue from ringtone and downloading artists' photos in forms such as Picture Messages and Wallpaper through the company's website www.mobiclub.net and its partners. The company plans to develop and extended technology-based service channels such as MobiOke (karaoke on mobile phone), MobiPixer (wallpaper decoration) and other services. This will utilise intellectual property and add value to it for the company's benefit.

4.1.1.6 International Songs The company is also a music distributor and organiser for international music companies including Unlimited Group Co., Ltd., a large Japanese-based music company promoting artists like Glay, Lucifer and famous Japanese singers. RS Group earns only a small portion of the revenue but it offers a good opportunity to enter the international market.

4.1.2 Marketing and Competitive Environment

4.1.2.1 Marketing Strategy 1) Quality Production Strategy RS Group's priority is quality, in both artists and music. The company's pre-production unit selects and develops artists with the right quality and plans ongoing improvement in its 12 sub-units. Each team gathers personnel with expertise who have worked in the music industry for between 10 and 20 years. This skilled workforce has an in-depth knowledge of the flow of the Thai music market and can produce different types of music based on their expertise, attracting audiences from all age groups and backgrounds.

2) Thorough Distribution RS distributes its products effectively and thoroughly through wholesalers and retailers. The company uses an effective production policy to provide products in accordance with estimated sales figures. This improves the company's inventory control management and keeps a low level of outdated products in stock.

029 R.S. Promtion Public Company Limited B) Client Description and Distribution Channel

1) Music Products as cassette tapes, CDs, VCDs and DVDs The company's music clients can be categorised in three major groups: listeners, wholesalers and retailers, and sponsors

1. Listeners can also be divided into three groups :

.Pre-teen students under 15; .Teens and students from 16-22; .Adult working people over 22 .

2. Wholesalers and Retailers

K. Master, an RS subsidiary, currently applies sales and distribution systems as follows:

Factory

Dealer Modern Trade

Retailers in GMC / LION / Cherry Bangkok (Modern Shop) D-Network / CD Warehouse

Retailers in Super Store LOTUS / CARREFOUR / BIG C provincial area

(G&C Store) 7-11 / JIFFY / SELECT STAR MART

3. Sponsors .Agencies .Direct Customers

Some 70 per cent of advertising sales are generated through advertising agencies, with the remaining 30 percent coming from promotional campaigns in cooperation with product/brand owners. Most sponsors are well known such as Pepsi, Orange, Sony, Panasonic, Hanami, GSM, GSM 1800, DTAC, 12 Plus and Lip Ice Color.

2) Music and Artists' Picture Copyright Music and Artists' Picture Copyrights clients are in two groups: the first group is consisted of 20 duplicate licensees including website operators and ringtone operators; and the second group is distribution members such as karaoke booth and jukebox operators with approximately 90,068 machines.

030 R.S. Promtion Public Company Limited 4.1.2.2 Competitive Environment 1. Thai Music Market Value and Growth Trends In 2003, the company forecast that the domestic music market would grow to 3,400 million baht, an eight per cent decrease from the 3,700 million baht of the previous year. However, the company believes that in 2004 the music market will grow by at least 10 per cent as each music company increases the number of its music products launched onto the market. The outcome of the anti- piracy campaign in which all parties cooperated has motivated consumers to buy more copyright products as well as pirated products, though it encounters distribution channel problems whenever the authorities show reluctance to arrest illegal traders. These factors encourage growth for the domestic music industry and impact positively on the music business generally. 2. Music Business Operators The Thai music market has two major operators including RS, a large music company and other independent music companies 3. Competitive Trends The domestic music industry remains more competitive in products and marketing promotional campaigns than in price. Each company tends to differentiate its music.

4.1.3 Product or Service Placement

4.1.3.1 Production The company continually employs pre-production methods through its experienced team to improve its quality. Raw material for CDs, VCDs, and DVDs production such as reels and cassettes can be obtained from domestic suppliers. This has never been a problem. The RS subsidiary, K. Master Co., Ltd. is a factory that manages distribution systems (see 3.1.2.1) and plans to service other music companies.

4.1.3.2 Environmental Effects -None-

Television Companies TV companies are highly competitive and have their own artists. The only differences between them are audience numbers and popularity. Well known production companies include RS Group, GMM, PolyPlus, BEC Tero, Kantana, JSL, Work Point, and Born. Each is dedicated to its own quality-based productions. Competition in television business is based on the quality of the programmes. Programmes that are aired at the same time or share the same target audience require clients to consider carefully which one they should allocate their advertising budget to.

Competitive Trends Clients give priority to programmes with high viewing figures and an audience in the target group for their products. These two factors are the forces that drive producers to focus on the quality of their programmes and their ability to satisfy the target audience's taste, and thus improve their programme's viewing ratings.

5.2.2 Marketing and Competitiveness 5.2.2.1 Marketing A. Marketing and Competition Strategies

1) Pricing strategies The company has used pricing strategies to create an advertising customer base by selling packages, expanding the loose- spot time and organizing "activities in programmes" and event marketing. These have added to the value of sales promotions and investment, especially with 93 DNA 93 F.M., where the company offered a 'buy one, get one free' package to allow clients to test the station's advertising strength.

As a result, the company was gradually able expand its customer base and earn more income.

038 R.S. Promotion Public Company Limited 2) Sales Promotion Strategies In the tough competitiveness of the radio business in 2003, the sale of advertising airtime was not enough for customers' needs.

There were special activities between the product owners and Government offices, such as the visits to tourist attractions in Bangkok held with the Tourism Authority of Thailand, youth cultural exchange programmes, concerts and contests.

In addition, the company used the potential of its Advertising and PR Departments to publicize the activities of its radio stations. The clients' activities were widely accepted in the form of PR news and advertisements on TV programmes, in magazines, and on outdoor and mobile media.

3) Advertising Planning Service With its long experience in the radio business, the company has a thorough understanding of all aspects of the business. Its staff can advise clients how to plan the best quality media management. They can also help them choose the most appropriate airtime or advertising package to suit their purpose and reach the audience. Since the Government announcement that advertisements for alcoholic beverages may not be broadcast before 10 pm, the company has adjusted the style of its public relations and advertising. It has turned to promoting the product image through scoops in several programmes, and now conducts special activities to meet the needs of the customers and the limitations on each product type. Based on the policies of its business partners, the company and the programme sponsors have planned advertising strategies that will keep sponsors' interest and return the greatest benefit to them as they use the company's media service.

The average cost of a Tele Movie is two to three million baht, while that of a feature film would be between 20 and 50 million baht. This cost factor has attracted many companies to enter the business.

In 2003, R.S. Group released the following 21 Tele Movies:

At present, R.S. Group is the market leader of Tele Movies in term of both quantity and quality.

6.1.3 Product and Service Placement

6.3.3.1 Product Placement R.S. Group is able to runs its business effectively with its film business model. Films made by the teams of R.S. Group's subsidiaries use equipment supported by R.S. Studio Ltd., which ensure the smooth running of the Group's production process. The company has an independent policy for casting. The subsidiaries may select non-R.S. Group actors based on the suitability of the actor's character and the script of each film. In addition to working with well-known film directors, R.S. Group introduces new directors selected from staff members who are creative and can present alternative films. This makes R.S. Group films more interesting and capable of attracting audiences. Continuity of film production attracts new personnel including screenwriters, directors, actors and production staff to join the company.

049 R.S. Promotion Public Company Limited 6.3.3.2 Environmental Effects -None-

7. Research and Development The company truly understands the importance of the marketing research and has worked closely with the marketing and sales promotion department to conduct regular surveys. Marketing and consumer behaviour surveys help the company to perceive the movement of the target consumers' tastes and requirements. This information is essential for planning and deciding the marketing strategy for all products including music, drama series, films and publications; they all need preparation to respond to changes in the social climate. The company uses marketing surveys to estimate the consumer acceptance of each product. This is not just in order to follow the existing market requirements, but also to introduce new products to meet new market trends. In addition to regular internal assessments, specific studies such as ratings surveys of drama series and programmes, and surveys of advertising expenditures in all media are conducted by professionals such as AC Nielsen (Thailand), the leading research and marketing survey firm. By giving attention to the surveys' results, the company can improve the quality of its work and plan effective strategies to make it more competitive.

8. Risk Factors R.S. Group has evaluated the risks that might affect its companies and subsidiaries.

8.1 Economic and Regulatory Risks

The Economic Environment With its 25 years experience, the company believes that there is a low level of risk from economic changes to its music business, as entertainment goods remain continuously popular with consumers. Music brings pleasure and relaxation at a low cost to the consumer, and the same may be said of the film business.

Amendments to Radio Broadcasting and Television Regulations Radio, the company's second priority business, may feel the effects of the free media business policy as laid down by the Constitution of the Thai Kingdom 1997 section 40. The Constitution has approved the National Radio and Television Broadcasting Committee (NRTC) as the government-based independent agency responsible for allocating broadcasting frequencies and overseeing the fairness of policies related to radio and television broadcasting. Changes in the management agency may lead to risks for existing media operators in the areas of increasing rigidity of regulations, and in the revision of radio concessions. It is true that there will be opportunities for new media companies to enter the industry after the free media business policy becomes effective; however, the potential for growth in business will be a competitive advantage for all media operators. The company has evaluated the risks and is confident that it has the potential, preparedness, experience and financial support to enhance its capability and competitive advantages. In addition, it has the full complement of requirements to enter the bidding for radio broadcasting concessions and continue its radio business.

8.2 Industrial Risks

Piracy

050 R.S. Promotion Public Company Limited The increased production of pirated cassettes and CDs is a serious obstacle to the growth of the music industry, as music providers cannot collect their full entitlement to the legal revenues for copyright and sale. All concerned parties, music companies, entertainment providers, artists and Government, will be well advised to devote more attention to this problem, and cooperate to motivate consumers to buy copyright products rather than pirated goods. Manufacturers have reduced the cost of their entertainment products to narrow the price gap between copyright and pirated goods. At the same time, Government has adopted stronger measures against infringement of the law, resulting in a decrease in the numbers of pirated products. The Government also allows karaoke copyright collection, a move which supports business expansion and companies' health.

Changes in Consumer Behaviour With its interests in television, films, radio and publishing, the company accepts that it will encounter changes in the habits and behaviour of consumers. These changes might include the influence of Western music styles, and the popularity of entertainers, singers, actors/actresses, programme presenters and DJs as well as in drama styles. Trends in films and film-going habits may cause instability that is hard to control. However, with its executives' skills in market evaluation and forecasting and its research into target group behaviour, the company has confidence in its readiness to adapt to innovations and new developments in music, drama series, television programmes and films, and its ability to meet the target groups' expectations.

8.3 Business Risks

Expiry of Radio Concession Contracts The company has one-year lease contracts with two radio stations: 88.5 MHz and 93.0 MHz. It decided against renewing the FM 98.0 MHz contract when it expired on 31 December 2003, as the running costs were too high to guarantee a profit. The company believes that the risk posed by renewing contracts with the two existing stations is low. The audience base is of a suitable size, the company's output is popular, and it enjoys a good relationships with the stations' owners.

Dependence on Company Executives The success of RS Group is due to the visionary leadership of the Chetchotisak Family led by Mr Kriangkrai and Mr Surachai, but in recent years the Group has adopted a policy of greater decentralisation. It has divided its core business into segments each managed by its own Managing Director and executive teams. This allows for independent decision making and makes for flexibility. Thus, the level of dependence on the Chetchotisak Family has been reduced. As the major shareholders and founders of RS Business, the Chetchotisak Family is committed to extending the company's activities into other sectors of the entertainment industry in order to continue its growth and add values to its business. The family will continue to maintain its position as the major shareholders.

Movement of Human Resources Throughout its 25 years of operation, the company and its management have given a high priority to human resources, and the risk from this direction is low. The company and senior executives realise that the workforce in the entertainment business is an essential component in its sustainable growth and progress. The management reviews its artists' yields and growth regularly to satisfy all parties. This has helped to improve relationships and create the supportive and easy-going culture which people in entertainment desire. The positive relationship between artists and production teams in each segment of the company means that they are happy to work together, dedicated to their responsibility and committed to giving best performance for the company.

051 R.S. Promotion Public Company Limited The company believes that its ability to handle risk management efficiently has been demonstrated by the absence of significant risks in all segments of its business.

8.4 Management Risk from as major shareholder hold more than 50% As of 31 December 2003, Chetchotisak Group held 53% of the company's shares. The Chetchotisak Group is eligible to take control of resolutions by Shareholders' Meetings concerned with committee appointments. If shareholders' majority is needed to exempt any case from the company's regulations, three out of four votes will be required. Other shareholders may not consolidate votes to examine or delay matters proposed by the major shareholder.

The company's management structure consists of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and the Audit Committee. It can be seen that the company has appointed highly skilled persons to suitable positions and settled questions of the authority of each committee with transparency.

In matters related to the Committee, major shareholder and business controllers, or such issues as conflicts of interest, those involved will be ineligible to vote. This is to assure shareholders that the company's management is transparent in its dealings.

10. Management's Discussion and Analysis

With its restructuring on 11 September 2003, the RS Group acquired 99.99 percent of the shares of its 22 subsidiaries. Thus, the company's consolidated financial statement for 2002 cannot be compared to that of 2003.The consolidated financial statement for 2002 shows RS Group's performance only after restructuring in September, and so does not reflect performance for the entire year. To simplify comparative analysis, the company prepared management account assuming the completed restructuring from 1 January 2002 in order to compare its financial statement with the 2003 financial statement.

Management's explanation and analysis in this section was based on RS Group's performance in the management account financial statement for 2002, and the audited statement for 2003. For a clear understanding of the Group's overall performance from the chart, RS Group's business is divided into three segments: Music, Media and Motion Picture and production house in conformity with the type of its core business. (See the chart of RS Group's Shareholding Structure, page 7)
