NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements of Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and with the Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 34 “Interim financial reporting” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”).

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for certain properties and financial instruments which are measured at fair values, as appropriate.

The accounting policies used in the condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010. In addition, the Group applied the following accounting policy during the current interim period.

Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets or disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition.

When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the Group will retain a non-controlling interest in its former subsidiary after the sale.

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell other than financial assets within the scope of HKAS 39 “Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement”.

– 4 –

In the current interim period, the Group has applied, for the first time, the following new and revised standards and interpretations (“new and revised HKFRSs”) issued by the HKICPA.

HKFRSs (Amendments) Improvements to HKFRSs issued in 2010 HKAS 24(Revised) Related party disclosures (except for the partial exemption in paragraphs 25 to 27 for government-related entities which has been early applied in the Group’s 2010 annual financial statements) HKAS 32 (Amendments) Classification of rights issues HK(IFRIC) — INT 14 (Amendments) Prepayments of a minimunm funding requirement HK(IFRIC) — INT 19 Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments

The application of the above new and revised HKFRSs in the current interim period has had no material effect on the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Group has not early applied the following new or revised standards that have been issued but are not yet effective.

HKFRS 7 (Amendments) Disclosures — Transfers of financial assets [1] HKFRS 9 Financial instruments [2] HKFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements [2] HKFRS 11 Joint arrangements [2] HKFRS 12 Disclosure of interests in other entities [2] HKFRS 13 Fair value measurement [2] HKAS 1 (Amendments) Presentation of items of other comprehensive income [3] HKAS 12 (Amendments) Deferred tax: Recovery of underlying assets [4] HKAS 19 (As Revised in 2011) Employee benefits [2] HKAS 27 (As Revised in 2011) Separate financial statements [2] HKAS 28 (As Revised in 2011) Investments in associates and joint ventures [2]

1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011.

2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012.

4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012.

HKFRS 9 “Financial instruments” (as issued in November 2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 “Financial instruments” (as revised in November 2010) adds requirements for financial liabilities and for derecognition. Specifically under HKFRS 9, all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 “Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement” are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods.

HKFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted. The directors anticipate that the application of HKFRS 9 will affect the classification and measurement of the Group’s available-for-sale investment and may affect the classification and measurement of other financial assets.

The five new or revised standards on consolidation, joint arrangements and disclosures including HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11, HKFRS 12, HKAS 27 (As Revised in 2011) and HKAS 28 (As Revised in 2011) were issued by the HKICPA in June 2011 and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Earlier application is permitted provided that all of these five new or revised standards are applied early at the same time.

HKFRS 10 replaces the parts of HKAS 27 “Consolidated and separate financial statements” that deal with consolidated financial statements. HKFRS 10 includes a new definition of control that contains three elements: (a) power over an investee, (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and (c) ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Extensive guidance has been added in HKFRS 10 to deal with complex scenarios.

– 5 –

HKFRS 11 replaces HKAS 31 “Interests in joint ventures”. HKFRS 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control should be classified. Under HKFRS 11, there are two types of joint arrangements: joint ventures and joint operations. The classification in HKFRS 11 is based on parties’ rights and obligations under the arrangements. In contrast, under HKAS 31, there are three different types of joint arrangements: jointly controlled entities, jointly controlled assets and jointly controlled operations.

In addition, joint ventures under HKFRS 11 are required to be accounted for using the equity method of accounting, whereas jointly controlled entities under HKAS 31 can be accounted for using the equity method of accounting or proportionate accounting. The Group’s jointly controlled entities are currently accounted for using the equity method of accounting and the Group’s jointly controlled operations where the assets and liabilities arising from those jointly controlled operations are recognised in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the relevant company on an accrual basis and classified according to the nature of the item. The Group’s share of the income from jointly controlled operations, together with the expenses that it incurs are included in the condensed consolidated income statement when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to/from the Group.

The directors of the Company anticipate that these new or revised standards will be applied in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for financial year beginning on 1 January 2013 and are in the process of assessing the impact.

The amendments to HKAS 12 “Deferred tax: Recovery of underlying assets” mainly deal with the measurement of deferred tax for investment properties that are measured using the fair value model in accordance with HKAS 40 “Investment property”. Based on the amendments, for the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets for investment properties measured using the fair value model, the carrying amounts of the investment properties are presumed to be recovered through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted in certain circumstances. The directors anticipate that the application of the amendments to HKAS 12 may have a significant impact on deferred tax recognised for investment properties located in the People’s Republic of China other than Hong Kong (the “PRC”) that are measured using the fair value model. If the presumption under the amendments is not rebutted, the deferred tax liability relating to the revaluation of investment properties may increase as the land appreciation tax rate of the PRC is higher than the tax rate currently used by the Group to calculate the deferred tax recognised for investment properties.

Other than those disclosed above, the directors of the Company anticipate that the application of the other new and revised standards will have no material impact on the results and financial position of the Group.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group determines its operating segments based on the internal reports reviewed by the President, the chief operating decision maker of the Group, that are used to make strategic decisions.

9. PREPAYMENT FOR LAND DEVELOPMENT AND LAND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURE

Pursuant to a land development agreement entered into between the Group and the Wenchang Government on 20 August 2008 in relation to the land development in Hainan Launching Site Complex Zone (“Land Development Project”), the Group has advanced the total amount of approximately RMB473,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$559,763,000) (31.12.2010: RMB171,743,000, equivalent to approximately HK$203,246,000) at 30 June 2011 to the Wenchang Government for the demolition and resettlement works carried out by the Wenchang Government for the Land Development Project of which the amount of approximately RMB465,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$550,365,000) (31.12.2010: RMB47,000,000, equivalent to approximately HK$55,193,000) has been transferred to land development expenditure in accordance with expenditure requirements on the Land Development Project. Details of the Land Development Project are disclosed in the circular of the Company dated 10 September 2008.

The arrangement between the Wenchang Government and the Group for the above Land Development Project is considered as jointly controlled operations. The Wenchang Government provided the land for the Land Development Project and is responsible for the demolition and resettlement works while the expenses and costs incurred by the Wenchang Government on demolition and resettlement will be reimbursed by the Group. On the other hand, the Group will be responsible for the construction of basic infrastructure and arranging for or contribute all development costs required for the basic infrastructure for the Land Development Project. The net proceed (after deducting the expenditure incurred for demolition, resettlement and construction of basic infrastructure estimated to be approximately RMB1,200,000,000) from the sale of the land from the Land Development Project shall be shared between the Wenchang Government and CASIL Hainan Holdings Limited, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in the ratio of 30%: 70%.

Land development expenditure represents the development cost incurred in relation to the Land Development Project less impairment. At 30 June 2011, the Group has incurred HK$592,520,000 (31.12.2010: HK$77,767,000) in the planning and design, demolition and resettlement works in the Land Development Project.

BUSINESS REVIEW

According to the medium-term development plan established by the Company, the Company will strive to become an overseas capital operations platform with leading edges for China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (“CASC”). The Company is actively carrying out each key business according to the plan, such as to ensure the steady growth of hi-tech manufacturing business, and the construction works for both hi-tech property projects, namely Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza and the Complex Zone of the Launching Site in Hainan Province, are progressing in an orderly manner. In addition, corresponding to the direction of developing aerospace technology application industry, the Company had made a significant move through the acquisition of a polyimide business and the establishment of a company engaging in the business of internet of things.

Hi-tech manufacturing

Dampened by multiple factors including the monetary tightening and the rise in labour and material costs in the PRC, the appreciation of RMB and the implementation of power supply control measures by the local governments, the manufacturing sector was exposed to another severe challenge after the financial tsunami in 2008. Nevertheless, pivoting on the sales efforts of the experienced management team, the hi-tech manufacturing business of the Company maintained a stable growth in revenue in the first half of the year. However, the operating profit decreased.

Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza

In early 2011, Aerospace Science & Technology Finance Company Limited* (“航天科技財務有限責 任公司”), a subsidiary of CASC, formed a syndicate with the Bank of China and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in respect of the provision of a syndicate loan in the amount of RMB1,500,000,000 to finance the construction of Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza. The syndicate loan and the related mortgage on the land use right, which constituted connected transactions of the Company, were approved by the independent shareholders of the Company at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 25 March 2011, details of which please refer to the announcements of the Company dated 14 January 2011, 23 January 2011 and 25 March 2011, and the circular dated 25 January 2011. Amid the economic tightening in the macro-market conditions, the syndicate loan has timely provided a comparatively satisfactory financing for the project of Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza.

The foundation excavation and earthwork of the project of Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza have been basically completed. At present, the foundation works of the project are in progress and are expected to be completed in early 2012. To step up the marketing efforts on the project upon completion, a team of professional consultants has been engaged to fully gear up for the in-depth research of the market positioning and preliminary market development of the project. As at 30 June 2011, the construction-in-progress together with the land use rights of Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza was valued at RMB1,422,000,000.

The Complex Zone of the Launching Site in Hainan Province

In 2011, the project of the Complex Zone of the Launching Site in Hainan Province was mainly focused on expropriation of lands and establishment of resettlement zones. Currently, agreements have been reached with most of the local residents in respect of the terms of demolishment compensation. The detailed site planning and design of the resettlement zones have been basically completed and will be proceeded to the review and approval process. In relation to the Hainan Space Park, the detailed project planning and design will be commenced immediately after the optimization of the design plan. On the other hand, according to an agreement entered into, upon negotiation, with the host organization of the “Space Home Pavilion” of the Shanghai World Expo, a permanent home for the “Space Home Pavilion” will be located in the Complex Zone of the Launching Site in Hainan Province.

New materials business

New materials sector, one of the seven strategic and emerging industries, is emphasized to develop by the PRC according to its “12th Five-year Plan”, and is also a major industry that is keenly developed by CASC at the forefront of aerospace technology applications. To capture the prevailing opportunities, the Company, after careful research, decided to step into the new organic polymer materials business with immense potentials through the acquisition of a 55% equity interest in Shenzhen Rayitek Hi-tech Film Company Limited* (深圳瑞華泰薄膜科技有限公司) (“Shenzhen Rayitek”).

Shenzhen Rayitek has been committed to the development of polyimide as the new polymer materials since its inception in 2004. It is a high-tech company engaging in the research and development, manufacturing and marketing of polyimide films and related composite materials. Polyimide is a special kind of new polymer materials. With its excellent properties of high temperature resistance and high insulation, polyimide has become indispensable key materials for the development of microelectronics technology. The polyimide materials, as a kind of special engineering materials, are actually in widespread use in a wide variety of aspects including aviation, aerospace, microelectronics, nanotechnology, liquid crystals, membranes and lasers.

The polyimide film products produced by Shenzhen Rayitek, such as insulation materials of wire, cable and electrical machinery, substrates of flexible printed circuit (FPC), tape automated bonding (TAB) and pressure-sensitive tape (PST), are mainly used in fields stretching from aviation, aerospace, microelectronic devices, electrical equipment to information industry. In early 2011, the polyimide film production line of Shenzhen Rayitek was officially put into operation, and was identified as a demonstration project of national high-tech industrialization by the National Development and Reform Commission.

Others

To optimize the Company’s assets, improve asset structure and the overall financial position, and promote the development of the Company’s main business operations, the Company entered into an agreement to dispose its entire interest in CASIL Satellite Holdings Limited in March 2011. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of the year and to generate a gain of approximately HK$100,000,000 for the Company, subject to final audit.

In May 2011, the Company set up Aerospace Digitnexus Information Technology (Shenzhen) Limited* (航天數聯信息技術(深圳)有限公司) by establishing a strategic partnership with several international experts of internet of things, thereby laying a solid foundation for tapping into the business of internet of things.

In line with the Company’s future development plans, the Company had retained a professional manpower consulting company to conduct a research and analysis of the Company’s organizational structure, as well as the continued development and configuration of human resources, and to put forward optimization recommendations thereon. With reference to the relevant opinion, the Company had formed new departments such as Corporate Development Department, Asset Management Department and Corporate Finance Department. The Company is of the view that the change of the organizational structure will effectively enhance the Company’s strengths in planning formulation, asset management, investment monitoring, financial management and investor relations.

PROSPECT

Recently, certain European countries had suffered from national debt crises sequentially, as well as the US credit rating was being downgraded, the global markets for equity, forex and commodity fluctuated violently. This further weakens the already sluggish aggregate demand. Looking ahead towards the second half of the year, the business environment will not be optimistic. It is expected that the hi-tech manufacturing business will continue to be affected by a couple of adverse factors including the rise in costs, the appreciation of RMB and the fluctuation in domestic and foreign markets. The hi-tech manufacturing business will continue to strengthen its management, control costs and risks, intensify technical enhancement, and reinforce efforts on market exploration of domestic and foreign markets, in order to endeavour to maintain a stable business.

The construction of both hi-tech property projects, the Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza and the Complex Zone of the Launching Site in Hainan Province, will be proceeded as scheduled. Hainan Aerospace Investment Management Company Limited* (海南航天投資管理有限 公司) will strengthen its communications with the local government and enhance the business model. Meanwhile, the Company will put more efforts to introduce strategic partners for the cooperation of project development. Under the impacts of factors such as inflation and policy measures in the PRC, the hi-tech property business may encounter increased pressures on cost control and financing in the short run. The Company will keep itself highly alert of cost and price fluctuations, in order to strictly mitigate the short-term risks brought by the relevant policies. However, it is believed that both projects of the hi-tech property in Shenzhen and Hainan, principally providing accommodation services to the industrial bases, will develop healthily in the long run.

In connection with the new materials business, the annual production capacity of the high-performance polyimide films of Shenzhen Rayitek is about 300 tonnes, subject to change in accordance with different product specifications. In the second half of the year, Shenzhen Rayitek will gradually increase its sales and production volume and begin to consider its expansion plan for the next stage. With the support from CASC, the Company has made an initial step, through the acquisition of Shenzhen Rayitek, towards the development of new organic polymer materials industry. At the same time, the Company expects the relevant acquisition will have synergy effect to the hi-tech manufacturing business of the Company.
