POSITIVE PROFIT ALERT

This announcement is made by Hongkong Chinese Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) pursuant to rule 13.09 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined in the Listing Rules) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company and potential investors that based on information currently available to the Company, the Board estimates that the Group is likely to record a profit for the six months ended 30[th] September, 2013 (the “Current Period”), as compared to a loss recorded for the six months ended 30[th] June, 2012 (the “Last Period”). The profit for the Current Period was mainly attributable to the recognition of part of the profit arising from the pre-sold properties of the Group’s property development project in Beijing, the People’s Republic of China which had been completed in the third quarter of 2013. It is expected that part of profit arising from the pre-sold properties will be recognized in the second half of the financial year ending 31[st] March, 2014. In addition, it is expected that the Group shall record a better result from its joint ventures for the Current Period as compared to the Last Period as a result of the write back of certain deferred tax liabilities by a joint venture following a change of tax base of its underlying property during the Current Period.

The Board also wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company and potential investors that a property development project in Singapore held by the Group’s joint venture has been completed in the fourth quarter of 2013 and based on information currently available to the Company, the Board estimates that a share of profit from the pre-sold properties of this
