LETTER FROM THE BOARD

and Everbest. Due to the Termination, Ferrell Management effected a redemption of 160,008 Cell Shares in the Real Estate Fund. Net proceeds of the Redemption of approximately S$92 million (equivalent to approximately HK$470 million) have been returned to the HKC Group. The non-current assets of the Group have decreased by approximately HK$269 million while the current assets of the Group have increased by approximately HK$470 million as a consequence of the Redemption. Based on the aforesaid redemption proceeds, the Redemption resulted in a net profit of approximately HK$201 million for the HKC Group.

As outlined in the joint announcement of Lippo, the Company and HKC dated 29th October, 2004, the subscription in the Real Estate Fund is subject to a lock-up period of five years from 1st November, 2004 or the date of investment of each shareholder. However, the fund manager of the Real Estate Fund has waived this requirement for the Redemption.

Everbest has not received any dividends from the Real Estate Fund since its subscription in the Real Estate Fund, with carrying value as of 31st December, 2005 amounting to approximately HK$269 million. The net profits of the Real Estate Fund for the year ended 31st December, 2005 before and after taxation and extraordinary items were approximately HK$159,397,000 and HK$159,382,000 respectively. The net profits of the Real Estate Fund for the year ended 31st December, 2004 before and after taxation and extraordinary items were approximately HK$152,814,000 and HK$152,518,000 respectively. The Redemption was completed in February 2007 and resulted in a net profit of approximately HK$201 million for the HKC Group. The HKC Group has ceased to have any interest in the Real Estate Fund.

INFORMATION ON LIPPO, THE COMPANY, HKC AND FERRELL MANAGEMENT

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors and having made reasonable enquiry, Ferrell Management, the Real Estate Fund and their ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Group and its connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules).

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTION

The Directors believe that the Transaction would enable the Company to realize the gains made pursuant to the subscription in the Real Estate Fund and the funds returned to the HKC Group after the Redemption are intended to be used for other future suitable investment opportunities. Should any new investments be identified in the future, the Company shall comply with the relevant disclosure requirements of the Listing Rules at such time.

The Directors are of the view that the terms of the Transaction are fair and reasonable, are on an arm’s length basis and are in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

HKC is beneficially owned as to approximately 72.26 per cent. by the Company which in turn is beneficially owned as to approximately 71.13 per cent. by Lippo. As the Transaction exceeds 5 per cent. but does not exceed 25 per cent. of one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, it constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
