NAKED HOTEL LIMITED CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Naked Hotel performed creditably in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. We experienced a 15.79% increase in gross ross revenues to $288.7 million, a 14.19% growth in profit before taxation to $89.81 and a 31.76% increase in our net worth to $150.271 million. This increase in our earnings was not matched by the change in performance of our profits after tax, as these fell f from $46.481 million to $46.477 million. Our financial performance has been within our expectations based on economic conditions and our own projections. Jamaica’s economy experienced an inflation rate of 5.8% during the 12 months to December 2006 – the lowest for a calendar year since our inception in 1991. Interest rates fell from 12.96% in January to 11.8% at the end December. The Jamaica Stock Exchange Main All Jamaica Index fell by 3.67%, moving from 104,510 to 100,678 points. The foreign exchange market remained reasonably stable, as the inflows to the foreign exchange market were strengthened by the 15.3% growth in visitor arrivals to Jamaica in 2006. Over 3 million tourists visited Jamaica in 2006 of which 44.32% were cruise passengers and the other 55.68% stopping-over. We have further reduced our gearing to 16.64%, from a high of 43.84% in 2005, which will reduce the financial risk to our company. Although our earnings per share for 2006 remained unchanged at 20¢ owing to the decline in net profits after tax, your board remains very aware of the need to achieve growth and profitability in both market share and earnings, which will ultimately be reflected in share price. Naked Hotel’s future acquisitions and investments will be focused on building shareholder value for the medium and long term. We achieved a number of positives this year: •
We organized nude weddings for the first time on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2006. The nude weddings resulted in 100% occupancy for the hotel in December 2006 and January 2007.

NAKED HOTEL LIMITED CHAIRMAN’S REPORT •
Naked Hotel through our Corporate Outreach Programme donated J$100,000 to the National Children's Home. The hotel has been consistently involved in activities designed to improve the lives of less fortunate Jamaicans.
•
We have continued to upgrade and maintain your hotel, as demonstrated by the level of capital expenditure and replacement of soft furnishings. All the guest bathrooms have now been renovated. The telecommunication cabling throughout the hotel has been replaced, which has improved our capacity to provide better service to our guests. Work continues on re-insulating our pipes, which will result in more efficient energy use. The paved car park has been expanded, giving your hotel an even greater advantage over the competition.
•
Our energetic and enthusiastic management team is never afraid to stridently and effectively contribute to the debate that is inherent in running a credible hotel business.
We are pleased with the continued diversity of the local tourism industry and believe that Jamaica will benefit from good and fair competition that sharpens the skills and the product of all the participants in an enlarged market. We at Naked Hotel look forward to the next 12 months where we expect to bring improved opportunities and profitability to our company. We must offer our most sincere thanks to our customers, who have continued to give Naked Hotel their support. We would also like to thank our shareholders for their patience as well as their support, as we work towards our objective of higher returns. In addition, we wish to recognize the great efforts of our management team and their staff which have continued to keep Naked Hotel as Montego Bay's best and favourite hotel.
