Chairman’s Statement

I am pleased to present the unaudited consolidated financial results of S E A Holdings Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) for the six months ended 30 June 2012 to the shareholders of the Company.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Turnover for the six months ended 30 June 2012 amounted to HK$299.2 million (2011: HK$305.4 million). The turnover was principally attributable to the recognition of rental income from investment properties, revenue from hotel operation and the sales of properties in Hong Kong, New Zealand and Australia.

Profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders for the period amounted to HK$356.1 million (2011: HK$931.9 million), equivalent to a basic earnings per share of HK53.2 cents (2011: HK138.9 cents). The reported profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders included a revaluation surplus on investment properties net of deferred taxation of HK$333.0 million (2011: HK$887.5 million). By excluding the effect of such surplus, the Group’s net profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders was HK$23.1 million (2011: HK$44.4 million), equivalent to a basic earnings per share of HK3.4 cents (2011: HK6.6 cents).

As at 30 June 2012, the Group’s equity attributable to the Company’s shareholders amounted to HK$10,196.6 million (31 December 2011: HK$9,889.7 million).

INTERIM REPORT 2012 9

Chairman’s Statement

STAFF AND EMOLUMENT POLICY

As at 30 June 2012, the Group had a total of 411 employees (31 December 2011: 393 employees) in Hong Kong, Mainland China and New Zealand. Employee costs, including the emoluments of the directors of the Group, amounted to HK$73.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2012 (2011: HK$63.2 million).

The Group maintains good working relationship with its employees and continues to recruit, retain and develop competent individuals committed for its long-term success and growth. Salary and benefits of employees are reviewed at least annually both in response to market conditions and trends, and in conjunction with individual appraisals based on qualifications, experience, skills, responsibilities, performance and development potentials. Discretionary bonuses are granted in line with the Group’s financial results and employees’ performance. Fringe benefits including medical insurance scheme, study and training allowances, examination leave and voluntary employer contributions to retirement schemes are offered to employees. In addition, to retain and motivate management staff and good performers, the Company has adopted an employee share option scheme and a share award scheme with options to subscribe for shares in the Company and awards of shares being granted by the Board to the Group’s employees (including directors of the Company) on a discretionary basis. To further enhance employee relations and communications, recreational activities for general staff with senior management’s participation are arranged.

OUTLOOK

With deep trouble in the world’s financial markets, there is much to be concerned about. The American economy appears to be slowing with stubbornly high job vacancies. The European financial system is suffering from political inertia with the situation in Spain getting worse by the moment and Greek default imminent. The momentum on economic growth in Germany and China is also slowing down. In Europe, more banks are being involved in the recent scandal on LIBOR and class actions starting to occur from customers as these banks manipulate the system to their advantage with their customers suffering.

The Mainland China housing market has seen signs of bottoming out after a period of government intervention to suppress prices. House buying in the eastern cities was particularly strong in July with a 6.7% increase in national sales over June. However, the PRC government is likely to intervene again if the market economy is improving. In the meantime, the PRC government is trying to tread a fine line between giving stimulus to a slowing economy and keeping a lid on house prices.

Plaza Central

10 S E A HOLDINGS LIMITED

Chairman’s Statement

In Hong Kong, there has been a change of chief executive and his cabinet since 1 July 2012. The new cabinet has pledged to increase the housing stock particularly at the lower end of the market but we believe that the measures will take some time to implement. In the meantime, property prices remain fairly flat.

Our investment properties in Hong Kong continue to do well. Dah Sing Financial Centre has maintained a high occupancy level with good rental rates being achieved although rents in the central business district have been softening. Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Causeway Bay is enjoying high occupancy whilst the room rates are slightly better than last year.

Foundation works have started at our composite development project in Fo Tan while the foundation work for the first phase of our Kaifeng project will commence in the fourth quarter of 2012. The master layout plan for Chengdu project is at final stage and will be submitted to local government for discussion. The office buildings in Chengdu and Guangzhou continue to perform well with good occupancy.

The Group is nonetheless extremely cautious about the state of the global financial markets and economies and will continue to adopt a conservative policy. The Board believes that this turmoil will bring about opportunity and is prepared to act to accelerate the development projects or consider new opportunities once a clearer pattern emerges from the current hiatus.

Corporate Governance and Other Information

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) made various amendments to the Code on Corporate Governance Practices (the “Old CG Code”) contained in Appendix 14 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the “Listing Rules”) and renamed it as the Corporate Governance Code (the “New CG Code”) with effect from 1 April 2012. The Company has applied the principles and complied with all the code provisions set out in the Old CG Code during the period from 1 January 2012 to 31 March 2012 and the New CG Code during the period from 1 April 2012 to 30 June 2012 except for the following deviations:

  • Code provision A.2.1 which states that the roles of the chairman and the chief executive officer should be separated and should not be performed by the same individual . The Company does not propose to comply with this code provision for the time being. The Chairman who is holding the office of Managing Director of the Company currently oversees the management and the Group’s business. The Board considers that the present management structure has been effective in facilitating the operation and development of the Group for a considerably long period and has withstood the test of time and that no benefit will be derived from changing it. The current structure allows flexibility and enhances the efficiency of decisionmaking process in response to the constantly changing environment while the market sentiment may vary quite significantly in different areas of the Asia Pacific region in which the Group operates. In addition, the Board believes that a balance of power and authority is adequately ensured by the operations of the Board which comprises conscientious, experienced and high calibre individuals including three Independent Non-executive Directors.

  • Code provision A.4.1 which stipulates that non-executive directors should be appointed for a specific term . Each of the existing Non-executive Directors (including the Independent Nonexecutive Directors) of the Company does not have a specific term of appointment but is subject to retirement by rotation and re-election at the annual general meetings pursuant to the Bye-laws of the Company. The Bye-laws require that every director will retire from office no later than the third annual general meeting of the Company after he was last elected or re-elected. In addition, any person appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy or as an additional director (including Non-executive Director) will hold office only until the next general meeting and will then be eligible for re-election. As such, the Board considers that such requirements are sufficient to meet the underlying objectives of the relevant code provision and therefore does not intend to take any remedial steps in this regard.

In addition to the above deviations, Mr. Walujo Santoso, Wally, an Independent Non-executive Director, was unable to attend the annual general meeting of the Company held in May 2012 as provided for in Code provision A.6.7 due to other business engagement. However, all other Independent Non-executive Directors were present thereat to be available to answer any question to ensure effective communication with shareholders of the Company.

INTERIM REPORT 2012 17

Report on Review of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

==> picture [145 x 65] intentionally omitted <==

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF S E A HOLDINGS LIMITED

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated financial statements of S E A Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) set out on pages 19 to 36, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 June 2012 and the related condensed consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and certain explanatory notes. The Main Board Listing Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“HKAS 34”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with HKAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review, and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of these condensed consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

CONCLUSION

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with HKAS 34.

24 S E A HOLDINGS LIMITED

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended 30 June 2012

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

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

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2012 are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011 and those due to the application of the new or revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”). In addition, the Group has applied the accounting policy of embedded derivatives which is applicable to the debt instrument entered during the period.

Embedded derivatives

Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

Application of amendments to HKFRS

In the current interim period, the Group has applied, for the first time, the amendments to HKFRS 7 “Disclosures — Transfers of Financial Assets” issued by the HKICPA.

The amendments to HKFRS 7 increase the disclosure requirements for transactions involving transfers of financial assets. These amendments are intended to provide greater transparency around risk exposures when a financial asset is transferred but the transferor retains some level of continuing exposure in the asset. The amendments also require disclosures where transfers of financial assets are not evenly distributed throughout the period.

The application of the above amendments to HKFRS in the current interim period has had no material effect on the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and/or disclosures set out in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to HKAS 12 “Income Taxes” which is mandatorily effective for the current period has been applied in advance in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011.

Inter-segment sales are at mutually agreed terms.

The accounting policies adopted in preparing the reportable segment information are the same as the Group’s accounting policies.

The Group does not allocate interest income, corporate expenses, share of results of associates and jointly controlled entities and finance costs to individual reportable segment profit or loss for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment by the chief operating decision maker.

No segment assets and liabilities are presented as the information is not reportable to the chief operating decision maker in the resource allocation and assessment of performance.

For the purpose of assessing the performance of the Group, the directors are of the view that the profit for the period should be adjusted for the fair value changes on properties recognised in profit or loss and the related deferred taxation in arriving at the “adjusted profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders”. A reconciliation of the adjusted earnings is as follows:

11. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES AND PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

The Group’s major investment properties of HK$8,441,160,000 (31.12.2011: HK$8,298,288,000) were fair valued at the end of the reporting period by independent professional valuers, Savills Valuation and Professional Services Limited (31.12.2011: Savills Valuation and Professional Services Limited and CB Richard Ellis Pty Ltd). The valuation was arrived at on the basis of capitalisation of net income. The resulting increase in fair value of HK$376,190,000 (1.1.2011 — 30.6.2011: HK$936,242,000) has been recognised directly in the condensed consolidated income statement. At 30 June 2012, the remaining investment properties of HK$221,512,000 were fair valued by the directors who are of the opinion that fair values of these properties at 30 June 2012 approximate to their fair values at 31 December 2011.

During the period, the Group acquired property, plant and equipment of HK$2,235,000 (1.1.2011 — 30.6.2011: HK$7,148,000).

12. PROPERTIES FOR DEVELOPMENT

The carrying amount represents the Group’s interest in certain pieces of lands located in the PRC with lease terms ranging from 40 to 70 years to be held for future development.

The Group paid HK$333,788,000 for the acquisition of these lands in the preceding period.

13. INTERESTS IN JOINTLY CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Transfer to assets classified as held for sale (42,090) —

----- End of picture text -----

Interests in jointly controlled entities were reclassified to assets classified as held for sale upon entering into an agreement for the disposal of the Group’s entire equity interest in these entities to the joint venture partner. Details are set out in note 18.

The loans to the jointly controlled entities are unsecured, interest-free and with no fixed repayment terms. Prior to the disposal, it is the Group’s intention not to demand the jointly controlled entities for repayment of the loans within one year and accordingly the amounts are classified as non-current assets at the end of the prior reporting period.

On application of HKAS 39 “Financial Instruments — Recognition and Measurement”, the fair value of the loans advanced to jointly controlled entities is determined based on effective interest rate of 2% per annum on initial recognition. The difference between the principal amount and the fair value of the advances, determined on initial recognition, deemed to be capital contributed to jointly controlled entities, is included as part of the cost investments in jointly controlled entities.

14. NOTE RECEIVABLE

The amount represents the carrying value of a five-year zero coupon principal protected index-linked note with a principal of USD2,000,000 (equivalent to HK$15,510,000) maturing on 7 February 2017. The index is a proprietary index named Forex Yield Differential Accrual Perpetual Index, which is a proprietary non-discretionary algorithm to calculate the risk filter multiple of non-discretionary trading that observes a basket of ten currencies.

The host contract of the note is measured at amortised cost. The index-linked feature is regarded as a derivative embedded but not closely related to the host contract in accordance with HKAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. However, in the opinion of the directors, the fair value of the embedded derivative at the end of the reporting period is insignificant and therefore it has not been accounted for as a separate component in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

15. OTHER RECEIVABLE

At 30 June 2012, the Group had incurred a total amount of HK$394,397,000 (31.12.2011: HK$396,583,000) for the excavation, relocation arrangements and infrastructure works on certain pieces of lands in Nanjing of the PRC. The amount, together with further costs to complete the work, are wholly refundable from the relevant PRC local government either by deduction against the consideration payable if the Group is successful in bidding for the lands or out of the proceeds received by the relevant PRC local government from the other successful tenderer. The directors estimated that the amount will be recovered by 31 December 2013 based on their best estimate of the latest development of the time schedule for auction of the relevant lands. The balance is carried at amortised cost based on an effective interest rate of 2% per annum.
