Translation - English Valuation and profit growth estimation are two key issues in fundamental analysis. In terms of valuation, CITIC S&P 300 generates a P/E ratio of 15 multiples, and 13 multiples for CITIC S&P 50, indicating extremely attractive valuation on many stocks. However, the loss of confidence on future profit devastated such advantage. According to statistics on profit projection among 300~400 listed companies, the growth of profit FY 2005 is not up to 20%, and such figure in 2006 dropped to single digit or even a ¡°zero growth¡±. Due to the decrease in projected profit, the implicit cost of capital increased merely from 8.7% to 9% under the circumstances of 10% stock value depreciation. Because the quarterly profit among enterprises for investment horizon of 2nd and 3rd quarter is not clear, the conflict between valuation advantage and the long-term confidence-loss in profit growth will probably rest at equilibrium for the next two months, however, the concerns over profit growth will keep the market from revival.
How do we then define the new valuation consensus after the launch of pilot project for non-tradable shares reform? With the view that the initiation of the pilot project breaks the balance of the existing market, then how shall we objectively assess the new market consensus or the benchmark system? Assume the non-tradable stocks penetrate into the market in discounts, and taking Hong Kong Market as the new valuation benchmark, the gap is at least 30% from perspective of implicit cost of capital and price difference between the two markets.
How much shall we compensate to curb the falling market? Due to the compensation system, the rise and fall on the market index fail to fully reflect the true profit/loss available for common shareholders. Assume the A-stock company is a corporation (i.e. fully floated), according to the current valuation consensus, the consideration ratio (ratio that converts value of non-tradable shares in line with tradable shares) can uphold stability on the current price level only when the compensation runs 4.3 shares ~ 6.7 shares for ownership of 10 tradable shares. The market anticipation of 3 shares compensation for 10 tradable shares found in pilot project enterprises is lower than the proposed level, which can only support the market around level of 1056 points.

Source text - English Orders are then entrusted to the selected brokerage firm with the objective to be fully completed at an average price that compares as favourably as possible to the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) of a predefined execution period. The result is systematically checked and input into a database, which also contains information about the market environment, and serves for both an immediate analysis of the trade and a longer-term evaluation of the broker involved.
As a result of the way our process is built, the same criteria that are used to initiate an investment decision continue to prevail in its regular reassessment. All active decisions are subject to monthly re-evaluation in light of the quantitative tool’s most recent recommendations, and the same judgemental overlay as any new suggestion. In particular, an active bet will have to be terminated (i.e. neutralised or reversed) if recent trends alter the quantitative tool’s fundamental or technical message to a sufficient extent.
In addition, we use the UBS-PAS Portfolio Analysis System to calculate various ex-ante measures of risk and assess overall portfolio biases. This tool allows the fund management team to ensure that portfolio characteristics remain consistent at all times with the strategy’s objectives. It will soon be complemented by a proprietary portfolio monitoring ‘dashboard’ derived from those already used by the International Equity Investments team to analyse risk and performance in most other markets.

Source text - English We have in place financing facilities for all B747 aircraft to be delivered in 2007.
We have tenloan facilities that were used to finance aircraft that have since been sold. These facilities are opened for re-drawing and we intend to use them to finance the two WJ aircraft to be delivered in April and May 07 and two JA aircraft to be delivered in March 08.
The two Levingstan A320 aircraft (MaN 1950 and MaN 1970) were sold and the underlying loan facilities (being via ECA loan) are currently cash-collateralised. We are approaching the European Export Credit Agencies to allow us to re-use these two facilities to finance five A319 aircraft to be leased to Skybus.
Following the extension of the leases of seven 777-300 with Emirates, we have approached banks to refinance one of the aircraft. We are seeking Board’s approval to mandate OCBC/UOB to refinance one aircraft.
We have in-principle agreement with BNP on the general terms of the US$1 billion line. BNP is progressing internally to get the necessary clearance.
Short term lines totalling $65m (in addition to $20m from BOTM which has expired) will expire by end Dec 2008. Following discussion at the Board meeting on 30 Nov, it was decided that we will proceed with getting best and final offers and thereafter Board approval for these renewals.
Transitions
Martinair (Holland) have advised the company of its intent to phase out the A320 from their fleet to concentrate their efforts on long haul operations. To this end the Company was requested by the Airline to assist them in locating a sub Lessee to take the Aircraft and has been successful in placing the Aircraft with Etihad Airlines based in Abu Dhabi. The Aircraft will transition on a sub lease from Martinair to Etihad toward the middle of December 2007; the transition will be transparent to the Company as the task will be completed by Martinair with a representative from the Company attending purely as an observer. We will take over the lease directly to Etihad in early 2008 after the transition has occurred.
