(1)   During the third quarter of 2008, the Group acquired a controlling
       interest in the entity that holds the Fiesta Casino Holiday Inn Express
       (formerly Garden Court) operation, and as a result began consolidating
       that operation at 100 percent beginning 1 September 2008. The balance of
       the Costa Rican operation is a joint venture of the Group and its
       results of operations are proportionally consolidated into the Group's
       financial statements, therefore the table above represents the Group's
       50 percent share in all the operations other than the Holiday Inn
       Express property which is reported at 100 percent. The Group owns
       controlling interest in all other countries and accordingly sales are
       reported at 100 percent. For details of Group ownership at the country
       level please refer to the Group's Annual Report 2008.
