INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the joint announcement of the Company and LSG dated 26 July 2010 in which the respective boards of directors of the Company and LSG jointly announced

(b) the Company has agreed to procure the transfer of, and LSG has agreed to accept the transfer of, the Company’s indirect interest in 5,200,000,000 shares in the capital of LSD, representing approximately 36.72% of the existing issued share capital of LSD and the Company’s entire shareholding interest in LSD.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you, among other things, (i) details of the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions; (ii) the recommendation from the Independent Board Committee in respect of the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions; (iii) a letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser in respect of the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions; (iv) other information as required under the Listing Rules and (v) the notice of SGM.

SHARES SWAP AGREEMENT

Date

26 July 2010

Parties

1. LSG; and

2. the Company.

The Lai Fung Transaction

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Shares Swap Agreement, LSG has agreed to transfer or procure the transfer of, and the Company has agreed to accept the transfer of, all legal and beneficial title in and to 3,265,688,037 shares in the capital of Lai Fung, representing approximately 40.58% of the existing issued share capital of Lai Fung and LSG’s entire shareholding interest in Lai Fung. This will be effected via (i) a direct transfer by LSG of 1,869,206,362 Lai Fung shares; and (ii) an indirect transfer, structured as a transfer by LSG of its shares in, and shareholder’s loans to, its wholly-owned

— 7 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD subsidiary, Silver Glory Securities Limited, a company which, in turn, holds 1,396,481,675 Lai Fung shares as its only asset as at the date of the Shares Swap Agreement. The aggregate consideration for the Lai Fung Transaction is approximately HK$3,883.2 million (being based on 40.58% of the Lai Fung Adjusted Net Asset Value as described under the section headed “Valuations for the purposes of the Transactions” below), and is to be settled by (i) the transfer to LSG of the Company’s entire shareholding interest in LSD pursuant to the LSD Transaction; and (ii) as to the balance (approximately HK$178.4 million) by the payment of cash to LSG (HK$100 million to be paid on the Completion Date, and approximately HK$78.4 million to be paid, without interest, six months after the Completion Date). The consideration for the Lai Fung Transaction was determined by reference to the respective values of Lai Fung and LSD, as described further below.

The consideration for the Lai Fung Transaction translates into approximately HK$1.19 per Lai Fung share payable by the Company and this represents a premium of approximately 358% to the closing market price of a Lai Fung share of HK$0.26 on 23 July 2010 (being the last trading day preceding the date of the Shares Swap Agreement); a premium of approximately 363% to the average closing market price of a Lai Fung share of approximately HK$0.257 for the 10 trading days ended on 23 July 2010; a premium of approximately 358% to the closing market price of a Lai Fung share of HK$0.26 on the Latest Practicable Date; and a premium of approximately 352% to the average closing market price of a Lai Fung share of approximately HK$0.263 for the 10 trading days ended on the Latest Practicable Date.

The LSD Transaction

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Shares Swap Agreement, the Company has agreed to procure the transfer of, and LSG has agreed to accept the transfer of, all legal and beneficial title in and to 5,200,000,000 shares in the capital of LSD, representing approximately 36.72% of the existing issued share capital of LSD and the Company’s entire shareholding interest in LSD. This will be effected via an indirect transfer, structured as a transfer by the Group of its shares in, and shareholder’s loans to, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zimba International Limited, a company which, in turn, holds 5,200,000,000 LSD shares as its only asset as at the date of the Shares Swap Agreement. The aggregate consideration for the LSD Transaction is approximately HK$3,704.8 million (being based on 36.72% of the LSD Adjusted Net Asset Value as described under the section headed “Valuations for the purposes of the Transactions” below), and is to be settled by the transfer of LSG’s entire shareholding interest in Lai Fung pursuant to the Lai Fung Transaction. The consideration for the LSD Transaction was determined by reference to the respective values of LSD and Lai Fung, as described below.

— 8 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The consideration for the LSD Transaction translates into approximately HK$0.71 per LSD share payable by LSG and this represents a premium of approximately 383% to the closing market price of a LSD share of HK$0.147 on 23 July 2010 (being the last trading day preceding the date of the Shares Swap Agreement); a premium of approximately 390% to the average closing market price of a LSD share of approximately HK$0.145 for the 10 trading days ended on 23 July 2010; a premium of approximately 355% to the closing market price of a LSD share of HK$0.156 on the Latest Practicable Date; and a premium of approximately 352% to the average closing market price of a LSD share of approximately HK$0.157 for the 10 trading days ended on the Latest Practicable Date.

Valuations for the purposes of the Transactions

For the purposes of both the Lai Fung Transaction and LSD Transaction:

(a) the shares of Lai Fung have been valued on the basis of its unaudited consolidated net assets of Lai Fung of approximately HK$7,555.4 million, determined by reference to its interim report for the six months ended 31 January 2010, adjusted to reflect the increase in the fair market value of the landed property and related interests (after taking into account the estimated corresponding effects on the deferred tax liabilities) of Lai Fung, as at 31 May 2010 of approximately HK$2,013.8 million. The fair market value of the landed property interests of the Lai Fung Group has been determined by Knight Frank. The Lai Fung Adjusted Net Asset Value is approximately HK$9,569.2 million; and

(b) the shares of LSD have been valued on the basis of its unaudited consolidated net assets of approximately HK$8,572.7 million, determined by reference to its interim report for the six months ended 31 January 2010, adjusted to reflect (i) the increase in the fair market values of the landed property and related interests (after taking into account the estimated corresponding effects on the deferred tax liabilities and the corresponding financial effects related to the cross-shareholding between LSD and the Company) of LSD and the Company, as at 31 May 2010 of approximately HK$1,786.9 million; and (ii) the fair value of a historic tax indemnity given by LSD to Lai Fung as at 31 May 2010 pursuant to an indemnity deed dated 12 November 1997 entered into between LSD and Lai Fung (after taking into account the financial effects related to the cross-shareholding between LSD and the Company) which would result in a decrease in the LSD Adjusted Net Asset Value of approximately HK$270.2 million. The fair market value of the landed property interests of the LSD Group has been determined by Savills. The LSD Adjusted Net Asset Value is approximately HK$10,089.4 million.

— 9 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Given that the agreed aggregate value of the Lai Fung shares being transferred pursuant to the Lai Fung Transaction exceeds the agreed aggregate value of the LSD shares being transferred pursuant to the LSD Transaction by a total amount of approximately HK$178.4 million, the Company has agreed to make up the difference by making a cash payment to LSG in the amount of approximately HK$178.4 million (HK$100 million to be paid on the Completion Date, and approximately HK$78.4 million to be paid, without interest, six months after the Completion Date).

Property valuation reports in relation to the landed property interests of the Group, the Lai Fung Group and the LSD Group prepared by the independent valuers, are set out in Appendices IV to VI to this circular.

Completion and conditions precedent

Completion will take place on the Completion Date and completion of the Lai Fung Transaction and the LSD Transaction shall occur at the same time and place and no party shall be obliged to complete such transactions unless they are completed at the same time and place (unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties). Completion is conditional upon the following conditions being satisfied or waived pursuant to the terms of the Shares Swap Agreement on or before the Long Stop Date:

(a) the passing of a resolution at an extraordinary general meeting of LSG by the LSG Independent Shareholders to approve the Shares Swap Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder;

(b) the passing of a resolution at a special general meeting of the Company by the Independent Shareholders to approve the Shares Swap Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder;

(c) the general offer waivers (as described further below) remaining valid and in full force and not having been withdrawn, cancelled or revoked by the Executive;

(d) the Lai Fung shares remaining listed on the Stock Exchange;

(e) the LSD shares remaining listed on the Stock Exchange;

(f) all relevant bank and other third party consents, approvals or waivers necessary for the Transactions having been obtained (and not revoked);

(g) the warranties given by LSG pursuant to the Shares Swap Agreement remaining true, accurate and not misleading in all material respects; and

— 10 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(h) the warranties given by the Company pursuant to the Shares Swap Agreement remaining true, accurate and not misleading in all material respects.

In the event that not all the conditions have been fulfilled or waived pursuant to the terms of the Shares Swap Agreement (as the case may be) on or before the Long Stop Date, the Shares Swap Agreement shall lapse and be of no further effect and no party shall have any claim against or liability or obligation to the other party save in respect of any antecedent breach.

SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE

Based upon the shares in issue for each of the companies identified below, as at the Latest Practicable Date (and assuming no changes to such issued share capitals prior to Completion), the simplified shareholding structure of the relevant companies before and after the Reorganisation will be as follows:

The Lam Family

42.02%

LSG

36.08%

eSun

40.58%

Lai Fung

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTIONS

The Directors believe that the terms of the Transactions are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the shareholders of the Company as a whole. As a result of the Lai Fung Transaction, the Company will become the controlling shareholder of Lai Fung with a well-established portfolio of property interests in the PRC and will share the operating profit of Lai Fung which is an associate (as that expression is used in the context of the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards) of the Company. Upon completion of the LSD Transaction, the Company anticipates booking a gain in its consolidated income statement as set out in more detail in the section headed “Financial effects to the Group in relation to the Transactions” below.

In addition, by virtue of the LSD Transaction, the Company and LSD will dismantle the cross-holding structure that has existed since 2004, by virtue of which the Company has been the controlling shareholder of LSD and, in turn, LSD has been the controlling shareholder of the Company. This cross-holding arose as a result of a debt restructuring exercise effected by LSD, which saw LSD allotting shares to its principal creditors, including the Company, to capitalise part of the debts owed by LSD to those creditors. The Transactions will enable the entire Lai Sun group to simplify the ownership structure of the Company (and LSD) and eliminate the circular effect of the accounting treatment of

— 12 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD the cross-holdings. Historically, where both the Company and LSD have recorded losses, each of the Company and LSD has had to account for its share of losses in LSD and the Company, respectively, as an associate. By unlocking this structure, the magnifying effect of the cross-held interests will be eliminated. More importantly, the directors of each of the Company and LSG believe that the simplified shareholding structure will provide greater clarity to shareholders of the respective companies and the market with regard to the core business of each of the companies, and will potentially enhance investors’ interest in investing in LSG, LSD and the Company, and as a result, improve liquidity in the shares of the respective companies. This will directly benefit the Company as LSD will become an associate (as that expression is used in the context of the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards) of LSG upon completion of the Transactions.

The Directors see the Transactions as a fair exchange because the property values of Lai Fung and LSD, which constitute the majority of the assets of the respective companies, have been determined by independent valuers. The Directors believe that the valuation methodology used in the Shares Swap Agreement more closely replicates the true underlying value of the respective companies, as opposed to the value derived from multiplying the total issued share capital of the respective companies by their current market price, this is because the current market price of the shares of LSD and Lai Fung are trading at a substantial discount to the underlying book value per share of each company.

The total cash amount, of approximately HK$178.4 million, payable by the Company as part of the Transactions will be funded from the Group’s internal resources.

PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITIES OF LSG, eSUN, LSD AND LAI FUNG

The principal business activities of the LSG Group include property development and investment in Hong Kong and investment holding.

The principal business activities of the eSun Group comprise the development and operation of, and investment in, media and entertainment, production and distribution of music and films and video format products, the provision of advertising agency services and the development of Macao Studio City, an integrated leisure resort comprising theatre, concert and live entertainment, retail and gaming facilities and hotels in Cotai, Macau Special Administrative Region of the PRC.

The principal business activities of the LSD Group include property development for sale and investment purpose and property investment in Hong Kong, investment in and the operation of hotels and restaurants and investment holding.

— 13 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The principal business activities of the Lai Fung Group include property development for sale and property investment in the PRC.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF LAI FUNG

The audited consolidated net profit (before taxation and extraordinary items) and audited consolidated net profit (after taxation and extraordinary items) of the Lai Fung Group for the financial year ended 31 July 2009, were approximately HK$767.7 million and HK$406.9 million respectively. The audited consolidated net profit (before taxation and extraordinary items) and audited consolidated net profit (after taxation and extraordinary items) of the Lai Fung Group for the financial year ended 31 July 2008, were approximately HK$625.2 million and HK$206.0 million respectively. The unaudited consolidated net assets of the Lai Fung Group as at 31 January 2010 was approximately HK$7,555.4 million.

The aggregate original purchase cost of the 3,265,688,037 shares in Lai Fung held by the LSG Group was approximately HK$731.4 million.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF LSD

The audited consolidated net loss (before taxation and extraordinary items) and audited consolidated net loss (after taxation and extraordinary items) of the LSD Group for the financial year ended 31 July 2009, were approximately HK$179.6 million and HK$221.0 million respectively. The audited consolidated net profit (before taxation and extraordinary items) and audited consolidated net profit (after taxation and extraordinary items) of the LSD Group for the financial year ended 31 July 2008, were approximately HK$1,176.6 million and HK$1,013.3 million respectively. The unaudited consolidated net assets of the LSD Group as at 31 January 2010 were approximately HK$8,572.7 million.

The Group acquired its interest in LSD in 2004, when it was allotted a total of 5,200,000,000 new ordinary shares of LSD pursuant to a debt restructuring exercise of LSD, which saw LSD in settlement of a debt due to the Group in the amount of approximately HK$1,500 million via (i) a cash repayment of HK$20 million; (ii) a five year interest-bearing term loan in the principal amount of HK$225 million; and (iii) an allotment of 5,200,000,000 new LSD shares having a par value of HK$0.50 per share. As such, the cost to the Company of acquiring the 5,200,000,000 LSD Shares is taken to be HK$1,255 million. LSD subsequently (in 2006) implemented a capital reduction exercise by which paid-up capital was cancelled to the extent of HK$0.49 per share, thereby reducing the nominal value of each share to HK$0.01.

— 14 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL EFFECTS TO THE GROUP IN RELATION TO THE TRANSACTIONS

LSD Transaction

The consideration to be received by the Group for the disposal of its 36.72% equity interest in LSD is determined by reference to the LSD Adjusted Net Asset Value. Since the Lai Fung Adjusted Net Asset Value pertaining to the 40.58% equity interest in Lai Fung of approximately HK$3,883.2 million is higher than the LSD Adjusted Net Asset Value pertaining to the 36.72% equity interest in LSD of approximately HK$3,704.8 million, the consideration to be received by the Group would be settled by a transfer of LSG’s 40.58% equity interest in Lai Fung to the Group with the balance of the surplus to be settled by a cash transfer of approximately HK$178.4 million by the Company to LSG.

As at 31 December 2009, the Group’s 36.72% share of net assets of the LSD Group as included in interests in associates of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2009 was approximately HK$3,153.2 million.

Taking into account the estimated consideration to be received by the Group of approximately HK$3,704.8 million for the disposal of 36.72% equity interest in LSD and the Group’s share of net assets of the LSD Group as at 31 December 2009 of approximately HK$3,153.2 million, an estimated gain on disposal before expenses (before release of reserves) to be recognised by the Group in its consolidated income statement is approximately HK$551.6 million. The consolidated net assets of the Group would increase accordingly by approximately HK$551.6 million before expenses. After taking into account the release of reserves shared by the Group of approximately HK$232.6 million upon Completion, the overall estimated gain on disposal before expenses to be recognised in the consolidated income statement would further increase from approximately HK$551.6 million to approximately HK$784.2 million. Such release of reserves would not have any impact on the consolidated net assets of the Group.

The financial effects and the related accounting treatments have been reviewed by the auditors of the Company. For accounting purpose, the Group will continue to share the results of the LSD Group under the equity method of accounting, including the cross- holding effects between the Group and the LSD Group, up to the Completion Date. The results of the LSD Group will include, inter-alia, the operating results of the LSD Group and the gain or loss (net of the related tax impact) arising from the change in fair values of the investment properties interests held by the LSD Group. This will affect the actual carrying amount of the Group’s 36.72% share of net assets of the LSD Group as at the Completion Date. Upon Completion, the actual financial effects for accounting purposes will need to be recalculated based on the actual carrying amount of the Group’s 36.72% share of net assets of the LSD Group as at the Completion Date and the fair value of the net assets of the LSD Group as at the Completion Date; the actual financial effects are expected to be different from the amounts disclosed above.

— 15 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Upon Completion, LSD will cease to be an associate of the Group and the results and net assets of the LSD Group will no longer be equity accounted for as an associate in the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Lai Fung Transaction

The consideration to be given by the Group for the acquisition of 40.58% equity interest in Lai Fung is determined by reference to the Lai Fung Adjusted Net Asset Value. Since the Lai Fung Adjusted Net Asset Value pertaining to the 40.58% equity interest in Lai Fung of approximately HK$3,883.2 million is higher than the LSD Adjusted Net Asset Value pertaining to the 36.72% equity interest in LSD of approximately HK$3,704.8 million, the consideration to be given by the Group would be settled by the Company transferring its 36.72% of equity interest in LSD to the LSG Group plus a cash consideration of approximately HK$178.4 million. As the estimated consideration to be given by the Group to acquire the 40.58% equity interest in Lai Fung (being the Group’s 36.72% share in the LSD Adjusted Net Asset Value to be disposed of plus the cash consideration to be paid) is same as the Group’s 40.58% share in the Lai Fung Adjusted Net Asset Value to be acquired, the Lai Fung Transaction would have no material financial impact on the consolidated net assets of the Group.

The financial effects and the related accounting treatments have been reviewed by the auditors of the Company. Upon Completion, for accounting purpose and in accordance with the prevailing accounting standards, the actual amount of the Group’s 36.72% share of the fair value of the net assets of the LSD Group and the Group’s 40.58% share of the fair value of the net assets of the Lai Fung Group will need to be remeasured. Any difference between the consideration given for accounting purposes (being the Group’s 36.72% share of the fair value of the net assets of the LSD Group plus the cash consideration to be paid by the Group) and the Group’s 40.58% share of the fair value of the net assets of the Lai Fung Group will be treated as a goodwill or discount on acquisition in the Group’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with its accounting policy.

Upon Completion, Lai Fung will become a 40.58%-owned associate of the Group and the results and net assets of the Lai Fung Group will be equity accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS OF THE REORGANISATION

The Lai Fung Transaction constitutes a very substantial acquisition and connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules on the basis that (i) one or more of the relevant Percentage Ratios applicable to the Company is above 100%; and (ii) Mr. Lam

— 16 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(together with his associates) owns a controlling interest (approximately 42.02% as at the Latest Practicable Date) in LSG, making LSG his associate and a connected person of the Company.

The LSD Transaction constitutes a very substantial disposal and connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules on the basis that (i) one or more of the relevant Percentage Ratios applicable to the Company is above 75%; and (ii) as noted above, Mr. Lam (together with his associates) owns a controlling interest in LSG, making LSG his associate and a connected person of the Company.

Accordingly, the Transactions, which are inter-conditional, are subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements of the Listing Rules. In this regard, at the SGM to be convened for the purpose of approving the Transactions, each of LSD, its associates and all members of the Lam Family (in each case as may hold shares in the Company) will abstain from voting on the relevant resolution. LSD held 447,604,186 shares of the Company (approximately 36.08%) as at the Latest Practicable Date. Mr. Lam and Mr. Lam Hau Yin, Lester, who are members of the Lam Family, each held 2,794,443 shares of the Company (approximately 0.225% each) as at the Latest Practicable Date. Save for the Directors who are members of the Lam Family, none of the other Directors have any material interests in each of the LSD Transaction and the Lai Fung Transaction. Accordingly, none of the other Directors were obliged to abstain from voting on the board resolution.

The Independent Board Committee has been constituted to make recommendation to the Independent Shareholders, in respect of the resolution to approve the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions. Platinum Securities has been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions are on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable so far as the shareholders of the Company are concerned and in the interests of such shareholders.

WAIVER IN RELATION TO RULE 14.68(2)(a)(i) OF THE LISTING RULES

Pursuant to Rule 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules, it is required that financial information on (a) LSD; or (b) the Group with LSD being shown separately, be included in a circular issued in relation to a very substantial disposal, subject to Note 2 to Rule 14.68(2)(a) that the Stock Exchange may relax such financial disclosure requirement if the assets of LSD are not consolidated in the Company’s accounts before the disposal.

The Company has applied to the Stock Exchange for a waiver in relation to Rule 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules by reason of the fact that, amongst others, the accounts

— 17 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD of LSD are not and will not be consolidated into the accounts of the Company before and after the Transactions; a substantial part of the relevant financial information required under Rule 14.68(2)(a)(i) has already been disclosed in the published audited annual financial reports of LSD (for the financial years ended 31 July 2007, 2008 and 2009) and the six months period from 1 August 2009 up to 31 January 2010.

The Stock Exchange has granted a waiver to the Company to waive the requirements under Rule 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules in this circular.

For information purposes, the published audited financial reports of LSD for the respective years ended 31 July 2007, 2008 and 2009 and its interim financial report which covered the six months period from 1 August 2009 up to 31 January 2010 are available on the website of the Stock Exchange (http://www.hkexnews.hk) and the website of LSD (http://www.laisun.com).

TAKEOVERS CODE WAIVERS

Notwithstanding the fact that, on Completion, the Company acquires a shareholding in Lai Fung an excess of the 30% mandatory offer threshold prescribed by Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code, no mandatory offer will be made by the Company to the independent shareholders of Lai Fung. The Executive has granted a waiver to the Company from the obligation to make a mandatory general offer, on the basis of Note 6 to Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code. The Executive has granted a similar waiver to LSG waiving the obligation on LSG to make a mandatory general offer to the independent shareholders of LSD otherwise arising on Completion when LSG increases its shareholding in LSD to above the 30% mandatory offer threshold.

Completion of the Shares Swap Agreement is subject to the satisfaction and/or waiver of the conditions precedent therein and therefore, may or may not proceed. Shareholders of the Company and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.

SGM

A notice convening the SGM to be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, 20 September 2010 at Salon 1-3, JW Marriott Ballroom, Level 3, JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong, Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Hong Kong is set out on pages 293 to 295 of this circular. A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed. Whether or not you intend to be present at the SGM, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed proxy form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the Company’s share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event, not less than 48 hours before the time

— 18 — LETTER FROM THE BOARD appointed for holding the SGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjourned meeting thereof should you so wish.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, all votes of the shareholders of the Company at the SGM will be taken by poll. Each of LSD, its associates and all members of the Lam Family (in each case as may hold shares in the Company) will abstain from voting on the resolution to be proposed for approval of the Shares Swap Agreement at the SGM.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Your attention is drawn to (i) the letter from the Independent Board Committee contained in this circular which contains its recommendation to the Independent Shareholders as regards the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions; and (ii) the letter from Platinum Securities contained in this circular.

The Independent Shareholders are advised to read the aforesaid letters before deciding as to how to vote at the SGM.

The Directors consider that the terms of the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. Further, the Directors see the Transactions as a fair exchange because the property values of Lai Fung and LSD, which constitute the majority of the assets of the respective companies, have been determined by independent valuers. The Directors believe that the valuation methodology used in the Shares Swap Agreement more closely replicates the true underlying value of the respective companies, as opposed to the value derived from multiplying the total issued share capital of the respective companies by their current market price, this is because the current market price of the shares of LSD and Lai Fung are trading at a substantial discount to the underlying book value per share of each company. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the SGM.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices of this circular.

Dear Sir or Madam,

VERY SUBSTANTIAL ACQUISITION, VERY SUBSTANTIAL DISPOSAL AND CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

REORGANISATION INVOLVING SHARES IN THE CAPITAL OF LAI FUNG HOLDINGS LIMITED AND LAI SUN DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED

INTRODUCTION

We refer to the joint announcement of the Company and LSG dated 26 July 2010 (the “Announcement”). On 30 August 2010, the Company dispatched a circular (the “Circular”) to the Independent Shareholders. Details of the Reorganisation are contained in the letter from the Board in the Circular. You should read the Circular, including the letter from the Board, carefully.

We refer to our engagement as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions are on normal commercial terms, in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders (the “Shareholders”) as a whole, and as to whether the Independent Shareholders should vote in favour of the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions at the SGM. Terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context requires otherwise.

— 22 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

We are independent from, and are not connected with the Company, any other party to the Shares Swap Agreement or the Transactions or any of their respective associates, connected persons or parties acting in concert with any of them and accordingly, we are considered eligible to give independent advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders.

We will receive a fee from the Company for our role as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions. Apart from this normal professional fee payable to us in connection with this appointment, no arrangements exist whereby we will receive any fees or benefits from the Company or any other party to the Shares Swap Agreement or the Transactions or any of their respective associates, connected persons or parties acting in concert with any of them.

In formulating our opinion, we have relied on the information and facts supplied to us by the Company. We have reviewed, among other things: the annual report of the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2009 (the “Group 2009 Annual Report”); the interim report of the LSD Group for the six months ended 31 January 2010 (the “LSD 2010 Interim Report”); the annual report of the LSD Group for the financial year ended 31 July 2009; the interim report of the Lai Fung Group for the six months ended 31 January 2010 (the “Lai Fung 2010 Interim Report”); the annual report of the Lai Fung Group for the financial year ended 31 July 2009; the property valuation report in relation to the landed property interests of the Lai Fung Group dated 30 August 2010 prepared by Knight Frank, an independent property valuer, as set out in Appendix V to the Circular; the property valuation report (the “Savills Valuation Report”) in relation to the landed property interests of the LSD Group dated 30 August 2010 prepared by Savills, an independent property valuer, as set out in Appendix VI to the Circular; and the announcements published by the Company since 1 January 2010 to the Latest Practicable Date.

We have assumed that all information, facts, opinions and representations contained in the Circular are true, complete and accurate in all material respects and we have relied on the same. The Directors have confirmed that they take full responsibility for the contents of the Circular, and have made all reasonable inquiries that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied to us.

— 23 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

We have no reason to suspect that any material facts or information have been withheld or to doubt the truth, accuracy or completeness of the information of all facts as set out in the Circular and of the information and representations provided to us by the Company. Furthermore, we have no reason to suspect the reasonableness of the opinions and representations expressed by the Company and/or the Directors which have been provided to us. In line with normal practice, we have not, however, conducted a verification process of the information supplied to us, nor have we conducted any independent in- depth investigation into the business and affairs of the Company. We consider that we have reviewed sufficient information to enable us to reach an informed view and to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion regarding the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all of the independent non-executive Directors, namely, Dr. Ng Lai Man, Carmen, Mr. Tong Ka Wing, Carl and Mr. Alfred Donald Yap, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In formulating our opinion in relation to the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions, and giving our independent financial advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Background of the Transactions

On 26 July 2010, the respective boards of directors of the Company and LSG jointly announced that the Company and LSG entered into the conditional Shares Swap Agreement pursuant to which:

(i) LSG has agreed to transfer or procure the transfer of, and the Company has agreed to accept the transfer of, LSG’s direct and indirect interests in 3,265,688,037 shares in the capital of Lai Fung, representing approximately 40.58% of the existing issued share capital of Lai Fung and LSG’s entire shareholding interest in Lai Fung; and

(ii) the Company has agreed to procure the transfer of, and LSG has agreed to accept the transfer of, the Company’s indirect interest in 5,200,000,000 shares in the capital of LSD, representing approximately 36.72% of the existing issued share capital of LSD and the Company’s entire shareholding interest in LSD.

— 24 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

Shareholding structure

Based upon the shares in issue for each of the companies identified below, as at the Latest Practicable Date (and assuming no changes to such issued share capitals prior to Completion), the simplified shareholding structure of the relevant companies before and after the Reorganisation will be as follows:

Considerations for the Transactions are based on the respective net asset values (“NAV”) of Lai Fung and LSD with adjustments to reflect the increase in fair market values of the relevant landed property and related interests as well as the fair value of a tax indemnity (in the case of the LSD Transaction). Please refer to the section below headed “Basis of consideration” for details.

2. Principal terms of the Transactions

Shares Swap Agreement

Date

26 July 2010

Parties

(i) LSG; and

(ii) the Company.

— 26 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

The Lai Fung Transaction

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Shares Swap Agreement, LSG has agreed to transfer or procure the transfer of, and the Company has agreed to accept the transfer of, all legal and beneficial title in and to 3,265,688,037 shares in the capital of Lai Fung, representing approximately 40.58% of the existing issued share capital of Lai Fung and LSG’s entire shareholding interest in Lai Fung. This will be effected via (i) a direct transfer by LSG of 1,869,206,362 Lai Fung shares; and (ii) an indirect transfer, structured as a transfer by LSG of its shares in, and shareholder’s loans to, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Silver Glory Securities Limited, a company which, in turn, holds 1,396,481,675 Lai Fung shares as its only asset as at the date of the Shares Swap Agreement. The aggregate consideration for the Lai Fung Transaction is approximately HK$3,883.2 million (being based on 40.58% of the Lai Fung Adjusted Net Asset Value) (the “Lai Fung Consideration”), and is to be settled by (i) the transfer to LSG of the Company’s entire shareholding interest in LSD pursuant to the LSD Transaction; and (ii) as to the balance (approximately HK$178.4 million) by the payment of cash to LSG (HK$100 million to be paid on the Completion Date, and approximately HK$78.4 million to be paid, without interest, six months after the Completion Date).

The LSD Transaction

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Shares Swap Agreement, the Company has agreed to procure the transfer of, and LSG has agreed to accept the transfer of, all legal and beneficial title in and to 5,200,000,000 shares in the capital of LSD, representing approximately 36.72% of the existing issued share capital of LSD and the Company’s entire shareholding interest in LSD. This will be effected via an indirect transfer, structured as a transfer by the Group of its shares in, and shareholder’s loans to, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zimba International Limited, a company which, in turn, holds 5,200,000,000 LSD shares as its only asset as at the date of the Shares Swap Agreement. The aggregate consideration for the LSD Transaction is approximately HK$3,704.8 million (being based on 36.72% of the LSD Adjusted Net Asset Value) (the “LSD Consideration”), and is to be settled by the transfer of LSG’s entire shareholding interest in Lai Fung pursuant to the Lai Fung Transaction.

We note that the Completion is subject to a number of conditions precedent. In particular, the Independent Shareholders should note that completion of the Lai Fung Transaction and the LSD Transaction shall occur at the same time and place and neither LSG nor the Company shall be obliged to complete any of the Lai Fung Transaction and the LSD Transaction unless they are completed at the same time and place (unless otherwise agreed upon by LSG and the Company). Please refer to the letter from the Board in the Circular for detailed terms of the Transactions.

— 27 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

3. Information on LSD and Lai Fung

As the Transactions involve a significant change in the geographical exposure of the Group, whereby the Group is swapping its exposure in the business of LSD, which focuses on the Hong Kong property market, in exchange for an exposure in the business of Lai Fung, which focuses on the PRC property market, we set out below our analysis of the historical financial performances and the outlook of the main market segments of LSD and Lai Fung, respectively.

(i) LSD

(a) Background

The principal business activities of the LSD Group include property development for sale and investment purpose and property investment in Hong Kong, investment in and the operation of hotels and restaurants and investment holding.

According to the LSD 2010 Interim Report and information provided by the Company, the LSD Group holds interests in five development properties in Hong Kong (i.e. Oakhill, Emerald 28, Yau Tong Project, Tai Hang Road Project and Ki Lung Street Project) and most of these projects are slated for residential use. It also wholly owns three major investment properties for rental purposes (i.e. Causeway Bay Plaza 2, Cheung Sha Wan Plaza and Lai Sun Commercial Centre), all of which are located in Hong Kong. We note from the Savills Valuation Report that these investment properties consist mainly of office space, with some commercial/retail space. As for the hotel and restaurant operations segment, this mainly represents the Caravelle Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in which the Group has an effective attributable interest of approximately 26% and various restaurant operations located in Hong Kong and . Please refer to the Savills Valuation Report on details of LSD’s development properties and investment properties.

Shareholders should note that the financial performance of LSD would also be influenced by the financial performance of the Company itself due to the cross-shareholding between LSD and the Company.

(b) Financial performance of LSD

The following tables show a summary of the recent financial performance of LSD as well as its revenue breakdown by business segments.

Sources: Consolidated financial statements of LSD.

Revenue

As shown in the two tables above, property investment and hotel and restaurant operations segments had been the main revenue contributor in recent financial years, with the hotel and restaurant operations segment decreasing in importance after the closure of the former The Ritz- Carlton Hong Kong in February 2008 for redevelopment into an office/ commercial building. The decreasing contribution from the hotel and restaurant operations segment also led to a decrease in total revenue in the last two financial years. We note that the property development and sales segment had not had any revenue at all in the last three financial years, apart from a small revenue contribution for the financial year ended 31 July 2008.

— 30 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

Profitability

Profit attributable to shareholders of LSD dropped from approximately HK$1,495.1 million to approximately HK$1,013.3 million in the financial year ended 31 July 2008 and turned into a loss for the financial year ended 31 July 2009. The drop in profit in 2008 was mainly due to exceptional items, including a provision for tax indemnity granted by LSD to Lai Fung in 1997 as well as a substantial decrease in share of profits from associates, which recorded a significant LSD’s share of non-recurring gains in the financial year before; whilst the loss in 2009 was mainly due to a decline in total revenue, a share of losses of associates and a fair value loss on investment properties amid the financial crisis. LSD returned to profit in the six months ended 31 January 2010, after posting a loss in the same period the year before, mainly due to a fair value gain on investment properties and an increase in share of profits of associates due to its associates recording a fair value gain on properties. Underlying profit of LSD observed a similar trend.

Financial position

As at 31 January 2010, LSD had outstanding secured bank borrowing of approximately HK$2,595 million. Gearing ratio (defined as total debt as a percentage of NAV attributable to shareholders) was approximately 30%.

(c) Outlook of the industry and LSD

General economic outlook

According to preliminary data released by the Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department (the “CSD”), gross domestic product (the “GDP”) of Hong Kong increased by approximately 8.0% year-on-year in real terms in the first quarter of 2010 and by approximately 6.5% in real terms in the second quarter of 2010, compared with an increase of approximately 2.5% in the fourth quarter of 2009, contributed by the rebound of external trade from the exceptionally low base in 2008 due to the financial crisis, a pick-up in global trade flows and the buoyant financial market and commercial activities in Hong Kong.

Residential sales market

Chart 1 below shows that prices of residential properties in Hong Kong have continued to be on an uptrend, after a short-lived decline in late 2008 as a result of the global financial crisis. At the same time, transaction volume has also rebounded, though with signs that it has started to decline recently along with the escalating prices.

We note that the Government has introduced various measures in early 2010 relating to the property market such as increasing the stamp duty on luxury properties and released further measures in August 2010 to ease soaring property prices, including putting a ban on resale of new flats before the initial transaction is completed. Nevertheless, residential property prices in Hong Kong continued to hold up in recent months despite the announcement of these measures. Based on information provided by Savills, we understand that the overall sentiment in the property market remains positive, fuelled by the better than expected Government land auction results in June and August 2010 as well as the current low interest rate environment, and that the primary residential market is likely to remain active with a number of new projects being launched, thereby creating a spillover positive effect on the secondary market. Therefore, we believe that the outlook of the Hong Kong residential sales market is likely to remain positive in the medium term, which is positive to LSD’s property development and sales segment.

Based on information provided by Savills, the Hong Kong office leasing market continues to recover in terms of both leasing activity and rental levels. These coupled with the improvement in the Hong Kong economy lead us to believe that the outlook of the Hong Kong office leasing market is likely to remain positive in the medium term.

As for the retail property sector, provisional data from the CSD shows that the value index for Hong Kong retail sales in June 2010 increased by 15.3% year-on-year in real terms, as a result of firm local consumer sentiment and the rapid expansion of inbound tourism. According to the CSD and the Hong Kong Tourism Board (the “HKTB”), tourist retail spending has increased in importance over the past decade and represented around 23% of total retail sales in 2009. Furthermore, figures released by the HKTB show a record 16.9 million of visitor arrivals to Hong Kong in the first six months of 2010, which not only represents a year-on-year increase of approximately 23.1%, but is also the highest half-yearly figure ever recorded. The strong retail market in Hong Kong has lent support to retail rents in Hong Kong, which continue to move up beyond the pre-crisis level, as the following chart shows.

In particular, based on information provided by Savills, prime tourist locations such as Causeway Bay saw strong retailer interest despite escalating rents. Based on the foregoing, we are of the view that the retail leasing market is likely to remain positive in the medium term. As both the outlook of the office leasing and retail leasing market is positive, and we further note that the overall occupancy rate of LSD’s investment properties remained high at 96% as at 31 January 2010, we are of the view that the outlook of its property investment segment remains positive in the medium term.

Outlook of the Vietnam market

According to the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, the number of international visitors to Vietnam has increased sharply by 34.9% in the first seven months of 2010. However, in light of the mediocre occupancy rate at the Caravelle Hotel (58% for the six months ended 31 January 2010) and its falling average daily room rate, we are of the view that the outlook of LSD’s hotel and restaurant operations segment is likely to be neutral in the medium term.

Sources: Consolidated financial statements of Lai Fung.

Revenue

Revenue of Lai Fung had grown steadily in the last two financial years ended 31 July 2009 and recorded a substantial increase in the six months ended 31 January 2010, mainly as a result of the sales of residential units at Shanghai Regents Park Phase II. Over 70% of total revenue was from property development in the last three financial years; whilst revenue contribution from property investment had been on the decline since the financial year ended 31 July 2009 due to renovation work being carried out at the Shanghai Hong Kong Plaza.

Profitability

Profit attributable to shareholders dropped from approximately HK$470.4 million to approximately HK$206.0 million in the financial year ended 31 July 2008, before rebounding to approximately HK$406.9 million in the latest financial year. A substantial increase in profit was also recorded in the six months ended 31 January 2010. As shown in Table 3 above, a substantial part of the profit in the last few financial

— 36 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

years had been contributed by exceptional items, including fair value gain on investment properties and gain on termination of cross currency swaps. If these were excluded, Lai Fung would record an underlying loss in the financial year ended 31 July 2008; whilst underlying profit for the financial years ended 31 July 2007 and 2009 would be much lower than profit attributable to shareholders. The underlying loss in 2008 was mainly caused by an exchange loss arising from a cross currency swap on its US$200 million senior notes issued in 2007, higher finance costs, higher provision for corporate income tax and land appreciation tax as a result of selling Shanghai Regents Park Phase II; whilst there was a relatively higher underlying profit in 2007 due to a write back of provision on deferred corporate income tax as a result of income tax changes in the PRC due to a decrease in PRC corporate income tax rate from 33% to 25%. With more recognition of sales of Shanghai Regents Park Phase II, underlying profit further improved to approximately HK$80.8 million for the six months ended 31 January 2010.

Financial position

As at 31 January 2010, Lai Fung had outstanding borrowings of approximately HK$2,800 million. Gearing ratio (defined as total debt as a percentage of NAV attributable to shareholders) was approximately 37%.

(c) Outlook of the industry and Lai Fung

General economic outlook

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the PRC continues to be one of the fastest growing major economies in the world, with GDP having grown by approximately 9.1% in 2009 and staying above 10% for both the first and second quarters of 2010. Per capita disposable income of urban households has also increased substantially as a result of the high economic growth, increasing from RMB11,759 per annum in 2006 to RMB17,175 per annum in 2009, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 13.5%.

According to information provided by Savills, record high residential prices in the first quarter have forced the Government to release a series of policies and credit tightening to curb speculative demand; these measures have casted a cooling effect on both price growth and transaction volume nationwide. As the above chart shows, residential prices in Shanghai have dropped sharply in recent months whilst residential prices in Guangzhou have also declined though by a lesser extent. According to information provided by Savills, transaction volumes in both Shanghai and Guangzhou have slowed down in the second quarter of 2010 in response to the new Government policies, indicating a wait-and-see attitude which currently pervades the market. However, we believe that these Government measures and credit tightening are mainly aimed at curbing speculative demand. In addition, we note that most of Lai Fung’s properties are located in Guangzhou and Shanghai, both of which are first-tier cities of the country where economic growth is higher than the national average and where the supply of land is more limited than other parts of the country. Taking into account the high growth of the PRC economy and increasing disposable income, and in the absence of further severe austerity measures from the Government, we believe that although the property market in the PRC may remain under pressure for the near term, the property market of prime cities such as Guangzhou and Shanghai are likely to be positive in the medium to longer term. Hence, outlook of Lai Fung’s property development segment is likely to be positive in the medium to longer term.

— 38 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

Office leasing market

According to information provided by Savills, office leasing market in Shanghai is believed to be close to bottoming out, as strong leasing demand has resulted in a drop in vacancy rates and slowed rental decline. Although office rents in Shanghai fell 2.9% in the first quarter of 2010, still down 26.5% from its peak in 2008, vacancy rates fell 2.7% to 14% over the same period. The improving economy in the second half of 2009 combined with significantly reduced rents have led to a wide variety of companies to renew their expansion plans in the latter half of 2009 through into 2010, resulting in a robust take-up. Similar trends were observed in Guangzhou where Grade A office rents rose 2.2% in the second quarter of 2010; whilst vacancy rate fell 2.0% to 8.3%. Demand is expected to remain strong in both cities as a result of the improving economy and the falling vacancy rates are likely to exert an upward pressure on rents. Furthermore, office leasing demand is likely to be higher in first-tier cities such as Shanghai and Guangzhou. As such, we are of the view that the outlook of the office leasing markets in both Shanghai and Guangzhou are likely to be positive in the medium term, which is positive to Lai Fung’s property investment segment.

4. Reasons for and benefit of the Transactions

We note that the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions are not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company. However, we see a number of benefits to the Independent Shareholders from the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions.

As disclosed in the letter from the Board in the Circular, as a result of the Lai Fung Transaction, the Company will become the controlling shareholder of Lai Fung and will share the operating profit of Lai Fung which is an associate (as that expression is used in the context of the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (the “HKFRS”)) of the Company; whilst the Company will cease to have any shareholding in LSD. As discussed in the above section headed “Information on LSD and Lai Fung”, LSD is primarily exposed to the Hong Kong property market with a substantial portion of its revenue being generated from property investments in Hong Kong; whilst Lai Fung is purely exposed to the PRC property market, particularly in the first-tier cities, and a substantial portion of its revenue has been generated from property development rather than from property investments. Although as a result of the Transactions, the Company will lose its exposure to the

— 39 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

Hong Kong property market where the outlook is positive in the near term, to swap for an exposure to the PRC property market which has recently been dampened by Government policies and credit tightening, we believe that the outlook of the PRC property market, especially the first-tier cities where most of Lai Fung’s properties are located, is likely to be positive in the medium to longer term.

Secondly, upon completion of the LSD Transaction, the Company anticipates booking a gain of approximately HK$784.2 million in its consolidated income statement. For details of the gain, please refer to the section headed “Financial impact” below and the unaudited pro forma financial information as set out in Appendix II to the Circular.

Thirdly, as discussed above in the section headed “Background of the Transactions”, there is currently a cross-shareholding structure between LSD and the Company. By virtue of the LSD Transaction, the Company and LSD will dismantle the cross- shareholding structure between the two companies, as well as enable the entire Lai Sun group to simplify the ownership structure of the Company (and LSD) and eliminate the circular effect of the accounting treatment of the cross-shareholding. Historically, where both the Company and LSD have recorded losses, each of the Company and LSD has had to account for its share of losses in LSD and the Company, respectively, as an associate. By unlocking this structure, the magnifying effect of the cross-held interests will be eliminated.

Fourthly, the simplified shareholding structure will provide greater clarity to shareholders of the respective companies and the market with regard to the core business of each of the companies, and will potentially enhance investors’ interest in investing in LSG, LSD and the Company, and as a result, improve liquidity in the shares of the respective companies.

Fifthly, we note that LSD had not declared any dividend in its last three financial years; whilst Lai Fung had consistently declared annual dividends ranging from approximately HK$32.2 million to approximately HK$40.2 million in its last three financial years. As such, the Transactions will enable the Company to swap an investment which had not paid any dividend in recent years, for an investment which had historically had a stable trend of paying dividends.

Last but not least, we note that the LSD Consideration of approximately HK$3,704.8 million is significantly higher than the cost at which the Company had obtained its current shareholding in LSD of approximately HK$686 million in 2004.

— 40 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

Therefore, we are of the view that the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

5. Basis of consideration

(i) Valuation for the purposes of the Transactions

The Lai Fung Consideration and the LSD Consideration have been determined on the following basis:

(a) the shares of Lai Fung have been valued on the basis of the unaudited consolidated NAV of Lai Fung of approximately HK$7,555.4 million, determined by reference to the Lai Fung 2010 Interim Report, adjusted to reflect the increase in the fair market value of the landed property and related interests (after taking into account the estimated corresponding effects on the deferred tax liabilities) of Lai Fung, as at 31 May 2010 of approximately HK$2,013.8 million. The fair market value of the landed property interests of the Lai Fung Group has been determined by Knight Frank, an independent valuer jointly appointed by LSG and the Company. The Lai Fung Adjusted Net Asset Value is approximately HK$9,569.2 million; and

(b) the shares of LSD have been valued on the basis of the unaudited consolidated NAV of LSD of approximately HK$8,572.7 million, determined by reference to the LSD 2010 Interim Report, adjusted to reflect (i) the increase in the fair market values of the landed property and related interests (after taking into account the estimated corresponding effects on the deferred tax liabilities and the corresponding financial effects related to the cross-shareholding between LSD and the Company) of LSD and the Company, as at 31 May 2010 of approximately HK$1,786.9 million; and (ii) the fair value of a historic tax indemnity (the “Tax Indemnity”) given by LSD to Lai Fung as at 31 May 2010 pursuant to an indemnity deed dated 12 November 1997 entered into between LSD and Lai Fung (after taking into account the financial effects related to the cross-shareholding between LSD and the Company) which would result in a decrease in the LSD Adjusted Net Asset Value of approximately HK$270.2 million. The fair market value of the landed property interests of the LSD Group has been determined by Savills, another independent valuer jointly appointed by LSG and the Company. The LSD Adjusted Net Asset Value is approximately HK$10,089.4 million. — 41 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

Given that the agreed aggregate value of the Lai Fung shares being transferred pursuant to the Lai Fung Transaction exceeds the agreed aggregate value of the LSD shares being transferred pursuant to the LSD Transaction by a total amount of approximately HK$178.4 million, the Company has agreed to make up the difference by making a cash payment to LSG in the amount of approximately HK$178.4 million (HK$100 million to be paid on the Completion Date, and approximately HK$78.4 million to be paid, without interest, six months after the Completion Date).

(ii) Consideration on a per share basis

Lai Fung Consideration

As stated in the letter from the Board in the Circular, the Lai Fung Consideration translates into approximately HK$1.19 per Lai Fung share (the “Lai Fung Consideration Price”) payable by the Company, which represents:

(a) a premium of approximately 358% over the closing price of HK$0.26 per Lai Fung share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;

(b) a premium of approximately 358% over the closing price of HK$0.26 per Lai Fung share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 26 July 2010, being the last trading date of the shares of Lai Fung and the shares of LSD prior to the publication of the Announcement (the “Last Trading Date”);

(c) a premium of approximately 363% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.257 per Lai Fung share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 5 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date;

(d) a premium of approximately 363% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.257 per Lai Fung share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 10 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date.

(e) a premium of approximately 27% over Lai Fung’s NAV per share of approximately HK$0.94 as at 31 January 2010.

— 42 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

LSD Consideration

As stated in the letter from the Board in the Circular, the LSD Consideration translates into approximately HK$0.71 per LSD share (the “LSD Consideration Price”) payable by LSG, which represents:

(a) a premium of approximately 355% over the closing price of HK$0.156 per LSD share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;

(b) a premium of approximately 373% over the closing price of HK$0.15 per LSD share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Date;

(c) a premium of approximately 383% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.147 per LSD share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 5 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date;

(d) a premium of approximately 386% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.146 per LSD share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 10 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date; and

(e) a premium of approximately 16% over LSD’s NAV per share of approximately HK$0.61 as at 31 January 2010.

As discussed in the above section headed “Information on LSD and Lai Fung”, LSD and Lai Fung are both primarily engaged in property development and property investment businesses. We note that properties constitute the majority of assets of both companies. In determining the valuation of companies with substantial property assets, we are of the opinion that it is appropriate to take into consideration the fair value of such property assets. As both the LSD Consideration and the Lai Fung Consideration have been determined based on the NAV of the respective companies with an adjustment to reflect the fair market values of both companies’ respective property interests assessed by independent valuers, namely, Savills and Knight Frank (collectively, the “Valuers”), we are of the view that the basis of consideration of both the LSD Consideration and the Lai Fung Consideration is appropriate. In this regard, we note that as the NAVs of LSD and Lai Fung as stated in their respective latest financial statements have not incorporated the current fair market value of their property assets, we are of the view that they are less meaningful as a valuation benchmark as compared to an NAV which has been adjusted for the fair market values of properties. — 43 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

We have also considered the LSD Consideration and the Lai Fung Consideration on a per share basis in comparison to their respective historical share prices, as shown above, both the LSD Consideration and the Lai Fung Consideration on a per share basis are at a substantial premium to the respective historical closing prices of LSD and Lai Fung but the level of the respective premiums are at a similar level.

Furthermore, we have reviewed the basis and methodology of the valuations adopted by the Valuers, and we note that the methodologies they have adopted in the valuation reports are similar and in accordance with the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors. Based on our discussion with the Valuers as well as information provided by them, we understand that the Valuers have valued the properties based on current market information by making reference to the relevant comparable transactions evident on the market, such as recent sales and leasing transactions in the subject property being valued or in surrounding properties, the assumptions derived from such transactions, as well as current market conditions. We understand that certain adjustments have also been made to reflect the specific aspects of the subject property being valued, which is in line with the industry practice. As such, we are of the view that the basis and methodology of the valuations adopted by the Valuers, including the basis of the assumptions underlying the valuations, are appropriate.

In addition, based on our discussion with the management of the Company, we understand that the LSD Consideration has been adjusted to reflect the fair value of the Tax Indemnity in accordance with the HKFRS.

Moreover, although we note that the Company has net cash of approximately HK$1,154.6 million as at 31 December 2009, based on our discussion with the management of the Company, we understand that the Company intends to maintain financial flexibility in order to fund its Macao Studio City project, which is expected to require a substantial amount of financing, as well as for general working capital purposes. We are of the view that by settling the Lai Fung Consideration with the Group’s interest in LSD and a cash sum of approximately HK$178.4 million, the Group would be able to achieve its aim of maintaining financial flexibility by reserving its cash balance.

Based on the foregoing, we are of the view that the basis for determining the LSD Consideration and the Lai Fung Consideration is fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

— 44 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

6. Financial impact

Shareholders should note that the following financial effects and the related accounting treatments have been reviewed by the auditors of the Company. For accounting purpose, the Group will continue to share the results of the LSD Group under the equity method of accounting, including the cross-shareholding effects between the Group and the LSD Group, up to the Completion Date. The results of the LSD Group will include, inter-alia, the operating results of the LSD Group and the gain or loss (net of the related tax impact) arising from the change in fair values of the investment properties interests held by the LSD Group. This will affect the actual carrying amount of the Group’s 36.72% share of the NAV of the LSD Group as at the Completion Date. Upon Completion, for accounting purposes and in accordance with the prevailing accounting standards, the actual amount of the Group’s 36.72% share of the fair value of the NAV of the LSD Group and the Group’s 40.58% share of the fair value of the NAV of the Lai Fung Group will need to be remeasured.

(i) Effect on NAV

(a) LSD Transaction

As stated in the letter from the Board in the Circular, the consideration to be received by the Group for the disposal of its 36.72% equity interest in LSD is determined by reference to the LSD Adjusted Net Asset Value. Since the Lai Fung Adjusted Net Asset Value pertaining to the 40.58% equity interest in Lai Fung of approximately HK$3,883.2 million is higher than the LSD Adjusted Net Asset Value pertaining to the 36.72% equity interest in LSD of approximately HK$3,704.8 million, the consideration to be received by the Group would be settled by a transfer of LSG’s 40.58% equity interest in Lai Fung to the Group with the balance of the surplus to be settled by a cash transfer of approximately HK$178.4 million by the Company to LSG. Taking into account the estimated consideration to be received by the Group of approximately HK$3,704.8 million for the disposal of 36.72% equity interest in LSD and the Group’s share of the NAV of the LSD Group as at 31 December 2009 of approximately HK$3,153.2 million, the consolidated NAV of the Group would increase accordingly by approximately HK$551.6 million before expenses.

— 45 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

(b) Lai Fung Transaction

As stated in the letter from the Board in the Circular, the consideration to be given by the Group for the acquisition of 40.58% equity interest in Lai Fung is determined by reference to the Lai Fung Adjusted Net Asset Value. Since the Lai Fung Adjusted Net Asset Value pertaining to the 40.58% equity interest in Lai Fung of approximately HK$3,883.2 million is higher than the LSD Adjusted Net Asset Value pertaining to the 36.72% equity interest in LSD of approximately HK$3,704.8 million, the consideration to be given by the Group would be settled by the Company transferring its 36.72% of equity interest in LSD to the LSG Group plus a cash consideration of approximately HK$178.4 million. As the estimated consideration to be given by the Group to acquire the 40.58% equity interest in Lai Fung (being the Group’s 36.72% share in the LSD Adjusted Net Asset Value to be disposed of plus the cash consideration to be paid) is same as the Group’s 40.58% share in the Lai Fung Adjusted Net Asset Value to be acquired, the Lai Fung Transaction would have no material financial impact on the consolidated NAV of the Group.

According to the Group 2009 Annual Report, the NAV of the Group was approximately HK$5,490.7 million as at 31 December 2009. As set out in the unaudited pro forma financial information as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, upon Completion, taking into account the financial impact from both the Lai Fung Transaction and LSD Transaction, the NAV of the Group would increase to approximately HK$6,042.3 million. As such, we are of the view that the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions would have a positive impact on the NAV of the Group.

(ii) Effect on earnings

(a) LSD Transaction

As stated in the letter from the Board in the Circular, taking into account the estimated consideration to be received by the Group of approximately HK$3,704.8 million for the disposal of 36.72% equity interest in LSD and the Group’s share of the NAV of the LSD Group as at 31 December 2009 of approximately HK$3,153.2 million, an estimated gain on disposal before expenses (before release of reserves)

— 46 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

to be recognised by the Group in its consolidated income statement is approximately HK$551.6 million. After taking into account the release of LSD’s reserves shared by the Group of approximately HK$232.6 million upon Completion, the overall estimated gain on disposal before expenses to be recognised in the consolidated income statement would be approximately HK$784.2 million.

(b) Lai Fung Transaction

Based on information provided by the Company, we note that the Lai Fung Transaction would have no material impact on the Company’s profit attributable to shareholders.

As stated in the letter from the Board of the Circular, upon Completion, for accounting purposes and in accordance with the prevailing accounting standards, the actual amount of the Group’s 36.72% share of the fair value of the NAV of the LSD Group and the Group’s 40.58% share of the fair value of the NAV of the Lai Fung Group will need to be remeasured. Any difference between the consideration given for accounting purposes (being the Group’s 36.72% share of the fair value of the NAV of the LSD Group plus the cash consideration to be paid by the Group) and the Group’s 40.58% share of the fair value of the NAV of the Lai Fung Group will be treated as a goodwill or discount on acquisition in the Group’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with its accounting policy.

According to the Group 2009 Annual Report, the Company’s profit attributable to shareholders was approximately HK$68.6 million for the financial year ended 31 December 2009. As set out in the unaudited pro forma financial information as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, the Company’s profit attributable to shareholders would decrease by approximately HK$367.4 million, assuming the Completion had taken place at the beginning of the year ended 31 December 2009, and such decrease has not taken into account the impact of the estimated gain on disposal before expenses in relation to the LSD Transaction of approximately HK$784.2 million. Taking into account such estimated gain on disposal before expenses, we are of the view that the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions would have a positive impact on the earnings of the Group.

— 47 — LETTER FROM PLATINUM SECURITIES

(iii) Effect on cash position

According to the Group 2009 Annual Report, as at 31 December 2009, the Group had net cash of approximately HK$1,154.6 million. As stated in the letter from the Board in the Circular, since the Lai Fung Adjusted Net Asset Value pertaining to the 40.58% equity interest in Lai Fung of approximately HK$3,883.2 million is higher than the LSD Adjusted Net Asset Value pertaining to the 36.72% equity interest in LSD of approximately HK$3,704.8 million, the consideration to be given by the Group would be settled by the Company transferring its 36.72% of equity interest in LSD to the LSG Group plus a cash consideration of approximately HK$178.4 million. As set out in the unaudited pro forma financial information as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, upon Completion, cash level of the Group would decrease by approximately HK$178.4 million but the Group would nevertheless still be in a net cash position.

In light of the above, in particular, that the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions:

(i) would have a positive impact on the NAV of the Group;

(ii) would have a positive impact on the earnings of the Group; and

(iii) would decrease the cash level of the Group but the Group would nevertheless still be in a net cash position,

we are of the view that, on an overall basis, the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions would have a positive financial impact on the Group.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above, we are of the view that the terms of the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

However, we would like to draw to the attention of the Independent Shareholders that the Shares Swap Agreement and the Transactions involve a significant change in the Company’s geographical exposure, namely, from holding an associate (i.e. LSD) which is primarily exposed to the Hong Kong property market, to holding an associate (i.e. Lai Fung) which is primarily exposed to the PRC property market. Therefore, the Independent Shareholders should carefully consider the implications of such change to them as an investor.

Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution in respect of the Shares Swap Agreement to be proposed at the SGM.

Yours faithf ully, For and on behalf of

Platinum Securities Company Limited

Ian Ramsay Lenny Li Director and Head of Corporate Finance Director of Corporate Finance

A. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

Audited consolidated financial statements and the independent auditors’ report of the Group (i) for the year ended 31 December 2009 are disclosed in the annual report 2009 of eSun published on 16 April 2010, from pages 46 to 145; (ii) for the year ended 31 December 2008 are disclosed in the annual report 2008 of eSun published on 9 April 2009, from pages 46 to 142; and (iii) for the year ended 31 December 2007 are disclosed in the annual report 2007 of eSun published on 11 April 2008, from pages 47 to 137. All of these financial statements have been published on the website of the Stock Exchange (http:// www.hkexnews.hk) and the website of eSun (http://www.esun.com).

2. Indebtedness

As at 31 July 2010, the Group had outstanding total borrowings, including accrued interest, of approximately HK$515.9 million, comprising secured and unguaranteed bank borrowings of approximately HK$11.6 million, and unsecured and unguaranteed promissory note payable of approximately HK$32.9 million, unsecured and unguaranteed other borrowings from a former shareholder of the Company of approximately HK$159.0 million, unsecured and unguaranteed amount due to a minority shareholder of a non- wholly-owned subsidiary of approximately HK$311.9 million and unsecured and unguaranteed finance lease payables of approximately HK$0.5 million.

In addition, as at 31 July 2010, Cyber One Agents Limited (“Cyber One”) and its subsidiaries (collectively “Cyber One Group”), was held as to a 60% equity interest by East Asia Satellite Television (Holdings) Limited (“EAST (Holdings)”), an indirect 66.67%-owned subsidiary of eSun. The Cyber One Group are deemed to be subsidiaries of the Company under the Listing Rules. As at 31 July 2010, the Cyber One Group had received an aggregate amount of approximately HK$312.0 million from a 40% shareholder of Cyber One (other than EAST (Holdings)) for the subscription of equity in Cyber One.

As at 31 July 2010, the secured bank borrowings of the Group were secured by bank deposits of the Group of approximately HK$12.6 million.

— 50 — APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP, THE LSD GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

In addition, as at 31 July 2010, a revolving term loan facility in the amount of HK$60 million was granted by a bank to the Group. The said loan facility is subject to annual review and is secured by a pledge of the Group’s land and buildings with a carrying amount of approximately HK$57.4 million as at 31 July 2010. Such bank loan facility had not been utilised by the Group as at 31 July 2010.

Save as aforesaid and apart from intra-group liabilities, the Group did not, as at 31 July 2010, have any material outstanding (i) debt securities, whether issued and outstanding, authorised or otherwise created but unissued or term loans, whether guaranteed, unguaranteed, secured (whether the security is provided by the Company or by third parties) or unsecured; (ii) other borrowings or indebtedness in the nature of borrowings including bank overdrafts and liabilities under acceptances (other than normal trade bills) or acceptance credits or hire purchase commitments, whether guaranteed, unguaranteed, secured or unsecured; (iii) mortgage or charges; or (iv) guarantees or other contingent liabilities.

3. Material adverse change

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors are not aware of any material adverse change in the financial or trading positions of the Group since 31 December 2009, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up.

4. Working capital

In 2008, the Company completed a rights issue to enable the Group to fund the Macao Studio City project (the “MSC Project”) as it evolves and otherwise for its general working capital purposes. The MSC Project is discussed further in Appendix III below.

— 51 — APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP, THE LSD GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

On 29 October 2009, EAST (Holdings), a non-wholly owned subsidiary, commenced legal proceedings in the Hong Kong SAR against New Cotai, LLC, a joint venture partner of the MSC Project, and parties interested in the MSC Project. The proceedings are being pursued in the context of a desire on the part of the Company to protect EAST (Holdings)’s interests in the development and to progress the MSC Project. However, the timing and outcome of all litigation is inherently uncertain and, in this case, is being contested and/or may prompt claims or counterclaims on the part of New Cotai, LLC or others. In view of such uncertainty, the Directors are of view that, on a conservative basis, at least a substantial portion of the proceeds of the rights issue will not be required for the MSC Project within the next twelve months.

In addition, in assessing the Company’s working capital requirements for the next twelve months, the Directors have given due consideration to, and made certain assumptions about the Put Option as defined in note 36 to the financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2009 and as set out below.

In connection with the disposal of one-third of the equity interest in EAST (Holdings) by the Group to CapitaLand Integrated Resorts Pte. Ltd. (“CapitaLand”), an independent third party, for a cash consideration of HK$658,757,000 on 12 March 2007 (the “CapitaLand Transaction”), the Group granted CapitaLand a right (but not the obligation) at nil consideration, to sell or put back (the “Put Option”) to the Group all (and not some) of the shares of EAST (Holdings) then held by CapitaLand at that time, in exchange for the return of:

(i) the purchase consideration paid for such shares; and

(ii) any associated joint venture capital contributions made up to that time, net of any benefits had or received by CapitaLand in respect of such shareholding.

The principal asset of EAST (Holdings) is its investment in Cyber One, which through its direct and indirect interests in East Asia-Televisão Por Satélite, Limitada, holds a piece of land in Macau proposed to be developed into the MSC Project.

— 52 — APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP, THE LSD GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Up to 31 December 2009, CapitaLand has made an aggregate capital contribution of approximately HK$312 million to EAST (Holdings), which is proportional to its effective interest of 20% in Cyber One.

The Put Option is only exercisable under certain discrete circumstances; including failure to obtain certain documents such as the occupation permit of Macao Studio City solely due to failure in obtaining a land grant modification within 54 months after completion of the CapitaLand Transaction, i.e. by 11 September 2011. Further details of the Put Option are set out in the Company’s circular dated 1 February 2007. The land grant modification is being sought for an increase in the developable gross floor area from the original gazetted area.

As the Put Option is potentially exercisable in September 2011, the Company is considering the likelihood of exercise and a number of prospective outcomes. However, given the current uncertainties surrounding the MSC Project, the Directors believe that it will only be feasible to accurately assess the likely working capital implications of the Put Option once the prospects of any solution to the impasse in respect of the development of the MSC Project has been more fully explored over the coming twelve months.

The Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account the aforesaid, the internal resources, the available banking facilities of the Group (assuming the completion of the Transactions) and in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, the Group will have sufficient working capital for its present requirements for the next twelve months from the date of this circular.

5. Financial and trading prospects

Macao Studio City project

The Company continues to believe that the Macao Studio City project will eventually become one of the region’s major entertainment destinations and will be an important platform for the Group to expand and monetise its entertainment and media expertise. The Group remains firmly committed, with or without the participation of its US project partners, to the project.

— 53 — APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP, THE LSD GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

— 54 — APPENDIX II UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

A. INTRODUCTION OF THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE eSUN GROUP

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information of the eSun Group has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Transactions. Upon Completion, LSG is to transfer or procure the transfer of 3,265,688,037 shares of Lai Fung at par value of HK$0.10 per share to eSun and the Consideration is satisfied by the following components:

(i) the eSun Group to transfer to LSG, 5,200 million shares of LSD at par value of HK$0.01 per share; and

(ii) the eSun Group to make a cash payment of HK$178,353,000 to LSG;

Upon Completion, LSD will cease to be an associate of the eSun Group and the results and net assets of the LSD Group will no longer be equity accounted for as an associate in the consolidated financial statements of the eSun Group, whereas Lai Fung will become a 40.58%-owned associate of the eSun Group and the results and net assets of the Lai Fung Group will be equity accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of the eSun Group.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the eSun Group as at 31 December 2009 gives effect to the Completion as if the completion had been consummated on 31 December 2009. The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement and unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2009 of the eSun Group give effect to the Completion as if the Completion had taken place at the beginning of the year ended 31 December 2009.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement and unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of cash flows of the eSun Group as set out on pages 59 to 63 in this Appendix are based upon (i) the audited consolidated income statement and the audited consolidated statement of cash flows of the eSun Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2009 and (ii) the audited consolidated income statement of the Lai Fung Group for the financial year ended 31 July 2009, as adjusted for the change in results of the Lai Fung Group due to the adjustments to reflect the fair market value of all the landed property and related interests (after taking into account the estimated corresponding effects on the deferred tax liabilities) of the Lai Fung Group as at 31 May 2010. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the eSun Group as set

— 55 — APPENDIX II UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

out on pages 57 to 58 in this Appendix is based upon (i) the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the eSun Group as at 31 December 2009 and (ii) the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position of the Lai Fung Group as at 31 January 2010, as adjusted to reflect the fair market value of all the landed property and related interests (after taking into account the estimated corresponding effects on the deferred tax liabilities) of the Lai Fung Group as at 31 May 2010. Narrative descriptions of the pro forma adjustments to illustrate the effects of the Completion that are (i) directly attributable to the transactions; (ii) expected to have a continuing impact on the eSun Group; and (iii) factually supportable, are summarised in the below notes to the unaudited pro forma financial information.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information of the eSun Group, which is based on currently available information and on the assumptions that (i) Completion had taken place on 31 December 2009 (in respect of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the eSun Group as at 31 December 2009) and at the beginning of the year ended 31 December 2009 (in respect of the unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement and unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of cash flows of the eSun Group for the year ended 31 December 2009); and (ii) that the eSun Group has paid the cash payment of HK$178,353,000 upon Completion, is provided for illustrative purposes.

Further, the accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information of the eSun Group does not purport to predict the eSun Group’s future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

After taking into account the release of the LSD Group’s reserves shared by the eSun Group of approximately HK$232,561,000 upon Completion, the overall estimated gain before expenses to be recognised in the consolidated income statement would further increase from approximately HK$551,606,000 to approximately HK$784,167,000. The release of the LSD Group’s reserves would not have any impact on the consolidated net assets of the eSun Group.

* 5,200 million LSD shares of HK$0.01 each currently held by the eSun Group will be exchanged for 3,265,688,037 Lai Fung shares of HK$0.10 each being held by the LSG Group upon Completion.

(4) The adjustments represent eSun’s 40.58% share of the pro forma profit of HK$406,888,000 of the Lai Fung Group under the equity method of accounting.

(5) The adjustment represents the decrease in the share of the pro forma profit of the Lai Fung Group due to the additional depreciation charges, as a result of the fair market value adjustments made for certain landed properties classified as property, plant and equipment of the Lai Fung Group as at 31 May 2010.

(6) The adjustment represents the dividend that would have been received by the eSun Group from Lai Fung during the year ended 31 July 2009 based on the pro forma results of the Lai Fung Group as extracted from the audited financial statements of the Lai Fung Group for the year ended 31 July 2009, as if the Completion had taken place at the beginning of the financial year, i.e. 1 August 2008.

A. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON THE GROUP

Set out below are the management discussion and analysis of the Group as extracted from the annual reports of the Company for each of the three years ended 31 December 2009 (the “Management Discussion and Analysis”). Terms used below shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Management Discussion and Analysis. During the above periods covered by such annual reports, as (i) LSD was an associate of the Group and the consolidated results and net assets of LSD was equity accounted for as an associate in the consolidated financial statements of the Group; and (ii) LSD constituted a significant investment of the Group, the management discussion and analysis in the abovementioned annual reports includes in certain parts discussion and analysis of the results and prospects of the LSD Group. As upon Completion, LSD will cease to be an associate of the Group and the consolidated results and net assets of LSD will no longer be equity accounted for as an associate in the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

1. For the year ended 31 December 2009

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS

For the year ended 31 December 2009, the Group recorded a turnover of HK$359,455,000 (2008: HK$270,131,000), representing an increase of approximately 33% from the previous year. For the year 2009, there were increases in revenue with respect to certain business operations (namely film production and distribution, music production and distribution and live entertainment), but off-set by a reduction in revenue from other business operations (namely sale of products, artiste management, film library licensing and advertising). The year-on-year increase in revenue for film production and distribution was largely due to the successful release of several films in 2009 as compared to a backlog created by, and as a result of the limited time slot suitable and/or available for any film promotional campaigns prior to, the 2008 Olympic Games in August 2008. The year-on-year increase in revenue for music production and distribution was largely due to the expansion into new media distribution and karaoke income. The year-on-year increase in revenue for live entertainment was mainly due to the re-opening after renovation of the Hong Kong Coliseum, a major local pop concert venue in Hong Kong, in early 2009 after its renovation since late 2008 which allowed

— 70 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

the Group to produce larger scale live entertainment events as compared to those produced in other venues in 2008 when the Hong Kong Coliseum was under renovation.

For the year ended 31 December 2009, the Group recorded a loss from operating activities of HK$422,013,000 (2008: HK$233,574,000). The increase in loss from operating activities was mainly due to the increase in other operating expenses by approximately 63% to HK$140,453,000. Such increase related principally to the impairment of goodwill arising out of the acquisition of Media Asia Entertainment Group Limited, which was completed in 2007, and the increase in the impairment of film rights of the Group’s film library. In addition, marketing expenses increased to HK$92,274,000 in conjunction with the increase in revenue from certain business operations, in particular, the film production and distribution operations. In addition, the Group recognised a fair value loss on a put option of HK$118,328,000 in 2009 (further details of the put option are set out in the below Business Review under the heading of “EAST (Holdings)’s option”).

The Group recorded a share of profits of associates of HK$521,276,000 as compared to a share of losses of associates of HK$71,256,000 for the previous year. The share of profits of associates was mainly attributable to Lai Sun Development Company Limited (“LSD”), an associate of the Company. The Group currently holds a 36.72% interest in LSD, which in turn holds a 36.08% interest in the Group. The Group’s share of the losses of jointly- controlled entities, at HK$43,313,000, was significantly lower than the loss of HK$92,308,000 for the previous year. The principal explanation for this is that (i) no provision was made in 2009 for the film production and distribution business undertaken by a jointly-controlled entity (as contrasted with 2008) and (ii) there was a substantial increase in profit arising out of the investment in television drama and content production business of a jointly-controlled entity.

For the year ended 31 December 2009, the Group recorded a consolidated profit attributable to owners of the parent of HK$68,553,000 (2008: loss of HK$385,476,000). The changes in the results in 2009 were largely due to the reasons explained above.

Shareholders’ equity as at 31 December 2009 amounted to HK$5,490,662,000, as compared to HK$5,321,231,000 as at 31 December 2008. Net asset value

— 71 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

per share as at 31 December 2009 was HK$4.43, as compared to HK$4.29 as at 31 December 2008.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Macao Studio City

The Company’s ambition remains to build Macao Studio City into one of Asia’s leading integrated leisure resorts combining theatre/concert venues, live entertainment facilities, Studio RetailTM (a destination retail complex), Las Vegas-style gaming facilities and world-class hotels. The site of the project is strategically located “Where Cotai BeginsTM”, next to the Lotus Bridge immigration checkpoint, linking the complex directly to Zhuhai’s Hengqin Island.

Project progress

The Macao Studio City project has not progressed over the year under review, essentially because of the continuing dispute between East Asia Satellite Television (Holdings) Limited (“EAST (Holdings)”) and New Cotai, LLC (“New Cotai”).

EAST (Holdings) is the holding company of a 60% interest in Cyber One Agents Limited (“Cyber One”), of which 66.7% is held indirectly by the Company and 33.3% is held by CapitaLand Integrated Resorts Pte. Ltd. (“CapitaLand”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CapitaLand Limited (one of the largest listed real estate companies in Asia). New Cotai is the US joint venture partner holding a 40% interest in Cyber One.

Cyber One, the jointly-controlled joint venture company responsible for the project, has yet to receive approval from the Macau government in relation to its application for a land grant modification on land use and to increase the developable gross floor area of the site from the original gazetted area to approximately 6,000,000 square feet. In connection with that application, the Macau government requested, and has repeated its request for, further particulars from the joint venture concerning plans for the project, in respect of which EAST (Holdings) and New Cotai have yet to formulate an agreed response.

Notwithstanding that Macau has suffered from significant economic volatility since the original project plan was developed in 2006/2007, the Group is confident that the Macao Studio City project is still an attractive business

— 72 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

proposition with considerable potential for long-term returns. The Group firmly believes that Cyber One is ready and able to present updated proposals on prospective financing and construction to the Macau government, despite the Group’s view that New Cotai has, for its own reasons, refused to approve or allow Cyber One to make any substantive response to the Macau government’s request for further particulars required to date.

On 29 October 2009, EAST (Holdings) commenced legal proceedings in the Hong Kong SAR against New Cotai and parties interested in that company, including David Friedman, Silver Point Capital L.P. and Oaktree Capital Management L.P., and others. Amongst other things, EAST (Holdings) is claiming damages of approximately HK$689 million for breach or inducing breaches of contract and, by way of derivative action on behalf of members of the Cyber One group, damages of approximately US$2.385 billion (approximately HK$18.6 billion) for, amongst other things, breaches of fiduciary duties and dishonestly assisting breaches of fiduciary duties owed to such members of the Cyber One group. On 3 February 2010, EAST (Holdings) filed its Statement of Claim with the High Court in Hong Kong SAR setting out the particulars of its claims. The proceedings are being pursued in the context of a desire on the part of the Company to protect EAST (Holdings)’s interests in the development and progress the Macao Studio City project. However, the timing and outcome of all litigation is inherently uncertain and, in this case, is being contested and/or may prompt claims or counterclaims on the part of New Cotai or others. Further, in the event of prolonged delays to the recommencement of the project, it is uncertain as to whether and how the Macau government would exercise its rights, including but not limited to its rights to re-possess the plot of land.

Cyber One has not appointed a general contractor and has not, to date, progressed the building works beyond foundations for the superstructure. Cyber One presently has only a minimal staff base, so as to contain overheads and expenses.

Cyber One will need to revisit its plans for the retail and entertainment component of the project. As announced by the Company on 21 August 2009, the various arrangements with Taubman Centres, Inc and its subsidiaries (“Taubman”), which would have seen Taubman take an equity stake in the retail component and take the lead in managing it, have now lapsed. The Company is aware that the retail element of the Macao Studio City will be one

— 73 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

of the key components of the project and it is keen to explore, together with the other stakeholders and Taubman, whether it might be possible to revive or reconfigure the arrangements with Taubman in due course. In addition, as announced by the Company on 19 November 2009, the various arrangements with Playboy Enterprises International, Inc. and its subsidiaries in relation to the development of a multi-use entertainment venue on site have also terminated.

Financing

To date, the parties have contributed a total of US$200 million capital to the project (the Company’s attributable share being US$80 million). However, Cyber One has yet to secure the necessary project finance for the development. The Directors believe that this will be more readily achievable once consensus is reached between the joint venture partners or the current differences are resolved. The Company continues to hold net proceeds of approximately HK$1,015 million from its rights issue of 2008, substantially all of which was, and is, intended for investment in the project. Indeed, it is ultimately anticipated that, when the project does resume, there will be a requirement for further equity investment in excess of these proceeds.

EAST (Holdings)’s option

Although the Company and CapitaLand have been in consistent agreement on the development of Macao Studio City, it should be noted that, in the event the land grant modification for the first phase of the project has not been published by the Macau government and the occupation permit for Macao Studio City (in effect, signifying completion of the first phase of the project) is not issued solely due to the failure of the Macau government to publish in its gazette the land grant modification for the first phase of the project, in each case, within 54 months of completion of CapitaLand’s investment (i.e. by mid September 2011), then CapitaLand would, subject to the terms and conditions in the sale and purchase agreement, have an option to put back its holding of shares in EAST (Holdings) to the Company. The consideration payable for the shares would be equal to the purchase price paid by CapitaLand for the shares (being approximately HK$659 million to date) and any further sums invested by it (being US$40 million to date, as its project funding contribution) net of any returns or dividends received by CapitaLand. Were the put to become exercisable and be exercised and completed, the Company’s attributable interest in Macao Studio City would increase to 60%.

Media and entertainment

Film production and distribution — Media Asia Entertainment Group Limited (“MAEG”)

During the year ended 31 December 2009, MAEG has completed the principal photography of 7 films with 10 films still in the pipeline of production or under development. There were 6 films released in 2009, namely “Look For A Star” in January, “The Sniper” in April, “City Of Life And Death” in May, “Vengeance” in August, “Ac c i d e n t” in September and “The Founding of a Republic” in October as compared to 4 films released in 2008, namely “If You Are The One”, “Lady Cop & Papa Crook”, “Marriage Trap” and “Set-Off”. Such difference was largely due to a backlog created by, and as a result of the limited time slot suitable and/or available for any film promotional campaigns prior to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games in August 2008.

In 2009, various MAEG’s films have achieved remarkable results. The “Founding of a Republic” is a film made to mark the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) with a cast of over 100 stars in the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and has recorded box- office receipts of over RMB410 million. “If You Are The One” is a romantic comedy directed by Feng Xiaogang and featured by Ge You and , and the film has broken the box-office record of Chinese language movie with the box-office receipts reached RMB325 million in the PRC. In 2009, MAEG films have recorded a total box-office receipts of over HK$1.26 billion in Asia.

MAEG’s films also continue to receive industry recognitions in local and international film festivals in 2009. “City Of Life And Death” was awarded the Best Picture at the San Sebastian Film Festival, the Best Director at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards, and the Best Cinematography at the 46th Golden Horse Awards. In addition, Mr. Lam Kin Ngok, Peter, Chairman of MAEG, was awarded “Producer of the Year” at the CineAsia 2009.

— 75 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Live entertainment

For the year ended 31 December 2009, the Group’s live entertainment division produced and participated in 97 (2008: 146) concerts and entertainment events by popular local, Asian and internationally renowned artistes including Andy Lau, Leon Lai, Sammi Cheng, Denise Ho, Alan Tam, Hacken Lee, Super Band, Kay Tse, Ekin Cheng, Liu Chia Chang, At 17 and George Lam, in Hong Kong, the Mainland of China and Macau. The re-opening after renovation of the Hong Kong Coliseum, a major local pop concert venue in Hong Kong, in early 2009 has allowed the Group to produce larger scale live entertainment events as compared to those produced in other venues in 2008 when the Hong Kong Coliseum was under renovation and hence, revenue generated from live entertainment division in 2009 increased (despite a lower overall number of events produced in 2009 as compared with 2008).

With the addition of new venues including the Venetian and the City of Dreams, the Group’s live entertainment division has expanded its coverage in Macau. In 2009, the Group has produced 1 pop concert in Macau performed by popular artiste Andy Lau. In addition, the Group has continued to participate and organise concert tours in the PRC and the rest of the world.

Music production, distribution and publishing

For the year ended 31 December 2009, the Group’s music production, distribution and publishing division released 52 albums (2008: 56), including titles by Andy Lau, Sammi Cheng, Miriam Yeung, Andy Hui, Denise Ho, Richie Jen, Ivana Wong, Janice M. Vidal, Bosco Wong, Chet Lam, At 17 and Pong Nan. In 2009, the Group gradually expanded into Mandarin albums with various artistes commencing and/or increasing publication of Mandarin songs during the year. Following the acquisition of music libraries containing over 3,000 songs and 400 music videos in 2007 and 2008, the Group has, by expanding its content offering, enhanced its position to expand into the new media distribution business. During the year under review, the Group steadily grew its position in the market for music publishing and generated a stable and recurring cash flow.

— 76 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Television drama and content production

The Group has expanded its entertainment offerings to include TV drama business. During the year under review, the Group has made investments, via renowned television dramas and content directors, producers and artistes from the Mainland of China, to produce television dramas and content. For the year ended 31 December 2009, the Group has invested in the production of approximately 150 hours of television dramas and content. Through co- operations with well-known artistes in the PRC, the television dramas which the Group invested in had effectively secured prime broadcasting time via distribution deals with major television networks in the PRC and worldwide. This mode of operation was proven to be successful by the elevated distribution income. During the year under review, the Group also reactivated its distribution network with the intention to expand this part of the operation.

New media

In view of the rising popularity of the new media, the Group has decided to tap into this business segment to enhance our entertainment platform and to extend the consumer reach of our entertainment products. In the second half of 2009, the Group has launched an artiste driven entertainment community — www.goyeah.com (“Goyeah”) in Hong Kong. The Goyeah community is an entertainment platform offering free and legal contents including video, online artiste community and artiste-driven online games. As of 31 December 2009, Goyeah has secured the exclusive online and mobile rights of over 20 leading artistes and models. By the end of 2009, Goyeah has achieved web traffic of over 2 million page views per month.

Lai Sun Development Company Limited (“LSD”)

For the year ended 31 December 2009, LSD’s results as attributable to the Group were significantly improved by, amongst other things, a gain on fair value change in LSD’s investment properties as compared to a loss on fair value change in LSD’s investment properties in the previous year.

For the year under review, the Group reported an operating loss (before taking into account the Group’s share of LSD’s profit) of approximately HK$453,551,000 (2008: HK$314,227,000). Since LSD holds a 36.08% equity interest in the Company, LSD is required to equity account for the operating

— 77 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

loss of the Group. As the Group also holds a 36.72% equity interest in LSD, the Group is required to further take up LSD’s share of the Group’s operating results. The effect of such recurring process leads to the Group taking up a further loss of HK$69,265,000 (2008: HK$46,702,000) and such amount is included in the Group’s share of profits and losses of associates. Taking into account the cross-holdings between the Group and LSD, the Group’s share of LSD’s profits included within the Group’s share of profits and losses of associates for the year ended 31 December 2009 was HK$522,104,000 (2008: loss of HK$71,249,000).

OUTLOOK

Macao Studio City

The Company continues to believe that the Macao Studio City will eventually become one of the region’s major entertainment destinations and will be an important platform for the Group to expand and monetise its entertainment and media expertise. The Group remains firmly committed, with or without the participation of its US project partners, to the project.

Media and entertainment

Film production and distribution

The success in our various film projects in 2009 reaffirms our beliefs in Chinese language films, MAEG scheduled to release no less than 6 films in 2010 including “Love in A Puff”, “Fire of Conscience”, “Frozen”, “Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen” and “Once A Gangster”.

In light of the enormous yet continuously growing PRC market, MAEG will continue to co-produce films with the leading/renowned PRC companies, producers, directors as well as artistes to enhance our film revenue and expand our market share in the PRC. In addition, the Group has established a film production joint venture with Shanghai Film and “Beijing Guoli Chang Shing Film and TV Cultural Promotion Company Limited”(北京國立常升影視 文化傳播有限公司) , a company managed by Mr. Zhang Guoli, a well-known artiste in the PRC. Leveraging on the market expertise and recognitions of our joint venture partners, the Group would through this joint venture increase its participation in film projects in the PRC with an aim to strengthen our market position in the PRC.

— 78 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Live entertainment

For 2010, the live entertainment division of the Group has already scheduled its own production of 6 titled concerts and entertainment events by popular local artistes and participation in the production of no less than 6 other titled events by other promoters, including overseas concert tours already involving some 80 shows in total.

With the increasing venues for performance in Macau, the Group will continue to expand the coverage of its live entertainment business in Macau. In addition, the Group will continue to expand into live entertainment promotions in the Mainland of China and Taiwan.

Music production, distribution and publishing

The traditional physical music record market has been dwindling over the last few years. Confronted with the changing consumers’ pattern from physical to digital music sales, the Group will continue to explore new sales channel for our music products.

With the successful debut of East Asia Music’s expansion into Mandarin albums and the positive contribution from the exploitation of the music library through new media distribution, the Group will continue its efforts to expand its presence in the Mainland of China.

Television drama and content production, and distribution

In view of the steady returns generated from investments in television drama and other television content, the Group will continue to look for business opportunities in this area in order to boost the quantity of television drama as well as to broaden the television contents to be produced. Given the success of our operation mode, the Group will continue to work with well-known artistes in the PRC to secure broadcasting time via distribution deals with major television networks in the PRC and worldwide so as to enhance the distribution income.

— 79 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

New media

The Group has successfully secured new investors’ funds in March 2010 for further development of Goyeah. The Group will continue to enrich the contents of Goyeah with the goal of attracting more netizen and escalating page views. Leveraging on the Group’s strong support from various aspects of media and entertainment businesses, and supplemented by the comprehensive entertainment contents, the Group will expand this business to the PRC. We expect that the Goyeah community will be a new revenue stream for the Group.

The PRC artiste management

The PRC entertainment market is enormous with a wealth source of new talents and rising stars. In addition, various well-known PRC artistes have been gaining increasing fame and popularity in Asia and the rest of the world. Riding on the fast growing PRC entertainment industry, the Group intends to expand its business to the PRC artiste management. This new division could provide us with a fresh supply of artistes for entertainment projects to be organised and/or promoted and/or produced by the Group and hence, we expect that this new area of business will complement our other media and entertainment businesses.

LSD

According to LSD, it will target to maintain high occupancy rates and rental cashflows from its investment properties. It is further understood that LSD will monitor the local property market closely and will adopt a balanced approach towards its property development business.

Other matters relating to the Company

Update in relation to Passport Special Opportunities Master Fund, LP and Passport Global Master Fund SPC Limited (“Passport”)

In December 2008, the Company had sought to raise approximately HK$60 million through a share placement exercise (with the prospect of raising an additional HK$60 million if the placees exercised the accompanying warrants in full). The placing shares would have represented approximately 8.82% of

— 80 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

the enlarged issued share capital of the Company (and the shares issued on the full exercise of the warrants would have represented approximately 8.10% of the further enlarged issued share capital of the Company). The placing, which was primarily intended to finance the Group’s media and entertainment businesses and otherwise for general working capital purposes, did not ultimately proceed in light of the fact that Passport, a substantial shareholder of the Company, obtained an ex-parte injunction temporarily restraining the Company from proceeding with the placing. Although the long-stop date for the placing was extended once, with the injunction order remaining in place and the conditions to the placing remaining unfulfilled, the placing agreement lapsed on 9 January 2009.

In essence, Passport alleges that the Company had no good commercial reason for the placement and that its sole or primary purpose was to dilute Passport’s shareholding. Whether or not the injunction was validly obtained by Passport remains the subject of on-going legal proceedings in respect of which the Company and its directors are vigorously defending Passport’s claims, and are pursuing their own remedies against Passport. The Court granted leave to the placing agent and certain of the placees to join the legal proceedings, as parties who were adversely affected by Passport’s injunction. The Court required Passport to put up a bank guarantee in the sum of HK$120 million to fortify its undertaking as to damages. Passport also put up security for the Company’s costs. The trial commenced in November 2009 and concluded in January 2010. The judge reserved his decision after the conclusion of the trial and judgement will be handed down in due course.

LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL RESOURCES, CHARGE ON ASSETS, GEARING AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

BUSINESS REVIEW

Overview of results

For the year ended 31 December 2008, the Group recorded a turnover from continuing operations of HK$270,131,000 (2007: HK$289,780,000), representing a decrease of approximately 7% from the previous year. The decrease was largely due to lower entertainment event income as a result of the temporary closure for renovation of a major pop concert venue in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Coliseum, between July 2008 and January 2009.

For the year ended 31 December 2008, the Group recorded a loss from operating activities of HK$233,574,000 versus a profit from operating activities of HK$324,189,000 in the previous year. The substantial deviation between the two financial years was mainly due to the one-off gain of approximately HK$499,969,000 recorded in the year ended 31 December 2007 on the sale of a 20% effective interest in the Macao Studio City project to CapitaLand Integrated Resorts Pte. Limited (“CapitaLand Integrated Resorts”). In addition, other revenue (mainly interest income) reduced by approximately 46% to HK$33,602,000 due to lower interest rate; while administrative expenses were up by approximately 22% to HK$203,768,000. Such increase was related to the consolidation of the expenses of Media Asia Entertainment Group Limited (“MAEG”) for a full year in the current year and the organic expansion of the various business operations of the Group as well as the establishment of several new offices in the Mainland of China and Taiwan to cope with our expanding geographic coverage of our business operations.

For the year ended 31 December 2008, the Group recorded a loss after tax from continuing operations of HK$403,761,000 as compared to a profit after tax from continuing operations of HK$924,351,000 in the previous year. In 2007, the Group discontinued its satellite television operations.

— 83 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

During 2008, the Group has shared the losses of jointly-controlled entities of approximately HK$92,308,000, an increase from HK$32,147,000 recorded in the previous year. This related principally to the film production and distribution business engaged by a jointly-controlled entity, and also due to the cost incurred to set up the team to manage the Macao Studio City project and to commence building the foundation of Macao Studio City. Also the Group recorded a share of losses of associates of HK$71,256,000 for the year ended 31 December 2008 versus a share of profits of associates of HK$642,044,000 in the previous year. The share of profits and losses of associates is mainly attributable to Lai Sun Development Company Limited (“LSD”), an associated company of the Company. The Group currently holds a 36.72% interest in LSD, which in turn holds a 36.08% interest in the Group. Such cross-holdings between the Group and LSD lead to a further loss to the Group due to eSun’s further share of LSD’s loss arising from LSD’s share of the results of the Group.

For the year ended 31 December 2008, the Group recorded a consolidated loss attributable to equity holders of the Company of HK$385,476,000 versus a profit of HK$895,710,000 in the previous year.

Shareholders’ equity as at 31 December 2008 amounted to HK$5,321,231,000, up from HK$4,669,218,000 as at 31 December 2007. Net asset value per share as at 31 December 2008 was HK$4.29, as compared to HK$5.64 as at 31 December 2007.

OPERATIONS REVIEW

Macao Studio City

Macao Studio City is expected to be one of Asia’s leading integrated leisure resorts combining theatre/concert venues, live entertainment facilities, Studio Retail™ (a destination retail complex), Las Vegas style gaming facilities and world class hotels. The project will be developed on a site strategically located “Where Cotai Begins™”, next to the Lotus Bridge immigration checkpoint, linking the complex directly to Zhuhai’s Hengqin Island.

Joint venture arrangements

Macao Studio City joint venture

In December 2006, the Group completed the sale of a 40% interest in Cyber One Agents Limited (“Cyber One” or “Macao Studio City JV”), the investment holding company of the Macao Studio City project, to US joint venture partner, New Cotai, LLC (“New Cotai”).

In March 2007, the Group further completed the sale of a 33.3% interest in East Asia Satellite Television (Holdings) Limited (“East Asia”), the holding company of the 60% interest in Cyber One, to CapitaLand Integrated Resorts. CapitaLand Integrated Resorts is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CapitaLand Limited, one of the largest listed real estate companies in Asia.

Following the completion of the disposal of a 40% and a 20% effective interest in the Macao Studio City project to New Cotai and CapitaLand Integrated Resorts, respectively, the current simplified shareholding structure of Macao Studio City project is as follows:

CapitaLand The Company Integrated Resorts

66.7% 33.3%

— 85 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Joint venture in respect of the retail component of Macao Studio City

On 29 January 2008, members of the Cyber One group entered into certain agreements in respect of a joint venture to be established for the purposes of owning, developing and operating the proposed retail component within Phase I of the Macao Studio City project anticipated to comprise retail space of approximately 904,000 square feet of gross floor area or 615,000 square feet of gross leaseable area (“Phase I Retail Component”) and to document a right of first offer in respect of the retail component of the second phase of the project proposed to be developed. The various transaction agreements comprise the Equity Participation Agreement, the Joint Venture Agreement, the Agreement for Lease, the Development Services Agreement and the Management and Leasing Agreement (together the “Transaction Agreements”).

Under these Transaction Agreements, Cyber One has agreed to sell to Taubman Centers, Inc. a 25% equity participation interest in Phase I Retail Component for an up-front cash consideration of approximately HK$376.80 million and the reimbursement of 25% of the development cost incurred up to January 2008.

Progress on the retail component is dependent on the development of the project as a whole, which has slowed down in light of the global financial and economic downturn in 2008.

Project progress

Gross Floor Areas

In November 2007, Macao Studio City JV submitted a land grant modification on land uses and to increase the developable gross floor area of the site to 6,000,000 square feet. Macao Studio City JV has yet to receive formal approval to the same from the Macau government.

Construction-in-progress

Foundations work for Phase I of the project has been completed. Construction on the superstructure of Phase I of the project will commence once the debt financing exercise is finalised. Construction schedule and formal opening of Phase I will now depend on the timing of the conclusion of the debt financing exercise.

— 86 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Financing

Macao Studio City JV has no debt and is well-positioned to be flexible in the current environment. Accordingly, the Group is still targeting to have Macao Studio City JV completing the debt financing exercise as soon as practicable.

On 9 November 2007, shareholders of Cyber One entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”). The MOU recognised New Cotai Entertainment LLC’s exercise of a lease option as valid, conditionally amended certain provisions of the governing lease documents, and provided the mechanism by which the amendments would become effective. The MOU also conditionally provided for the increase of each shareholder’s proportional contribution to the Macao Studio City project, on a several basis, from US$200 million to US$500 million, subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company and further negotiation of the definitive documents to reflect and expand upon matters agreed in the MOU.

On 17 October 2008, New Cotai issued a notice of termination of the MOU to the respective parties of the MOU in accordance with the provisions thereof, the definitive documents not having been settled within the prescribed time limit. However, certain provisions of the MOU remain valid and binding on the parties. As at the date of this report, the Cyber One shareholders have only advanced US$200 million in accordance with the terms of the original Cyber One joint venture agreement of 6 December 2006. The Company’s contribution has been US$80 million, which is proportional to its effective interest of 40%.

Despite termination of the MOU, the Company remains firmly committed to the Macao Studio City project. With the completion of the rights issue in May 2008 raising net proceeds of approximately HK$1,015 million, the Group is prepared to further fund the Macao Studio City project however it evolves (and whether on terms envisaged by the MOU or otherwise) and to use the proceeds otherwise for its general working capital purposes.

Media and entertainment

Film production and distribution — MAEG

During the year ended 31 December 2008, MAEG completed principal photography on 6 films, with 7 other films in the production or development pipeline.

In 2008, MAEG released 4 films — If You Are The One, Lady Cop & Papa Crook, Marriage Trap and Set-Off. Since the release of The Warlords and Assembly between December 2007 and January 2008, due to limited time slots suitable and/or available for any film promotional campaigns prior to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games in August 2008, newly produced films of MAEG (like many other films) had seen their respective launch campaigns and dates rescheduled or delayed. For the year ended 31 December 2008, the MAEG Group contributed a turnover of HK$95,325,000 and a gross profit of HK$33,688,000 to the Group’s consolidated results.

The Warlords was a mega-budget film directed by Peter Chan and featured top Asian actors — Jet Li, Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Assembly was a Chinese war drama directed by Feng Xiaogang. The box-office receipts of The Warlords and Assembly placed them both in the top three movies in the Mainland of China in 2007. In 2008, MAEG’s films continued to receive industry recognitions in local and international film festivals.

Film production joint venture

On 8 August 2008, a joint venture agreement was entered into between Media Asia (MAX) Limited (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), Avex Entertainment Inc. and Avex Hong Kong Limited (formerly known as Avex Asia Limited) to establish a joint venture company, PAMIEM Film Fund Limited (the “JV Company”), as a vehicle for producing films targeted at the Asia markets.

The JV Company is beneficially owned as to 50% by MAEG, 40% by Avex Entertainment Inc., and 10% by Avex Hong Kong Limited. After the approval of each proposed film project by the board of directors of the JV Company, each shareholder may be required to contribute to a project fund, with such contributions to be provided on a standby-basis. The total amount of film

— 88 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

funding has been agreed at no more than US$50 million over five years from the date of the joint venture agreement.

During the year under review, no film projects were identified or produced under this joint venture.

Film library

As at 31 December 2008, the film rights and film products of the Group constituted all rights, titles and interests in an aggregate of 166 films with an aggregate carrying value of approximately HK$171 million (2007: HK$199 million).

Live entertainment

For the year ended 31 December 2008, the Group’s live entertainment division produced and participated in 146 concerts, theatre and entertainment events by popular local, Asian and internationally renowned artistes including , Richie Jen, Jan Lamb, Ivana Wong, Harry Connick Jr., Maroon 5 and Ayumi Hamasaki in Hong Kong, the Mainland, Macau and South East Asia.

Hong Kong Coliseum, a major pop concert venue in Hong Kong was temporarily closed for renovation between July 2008 and January 2009. During that temporary closure period, the Group continued to organise and/or participate in the promotion of various pop concerts and entertainment events in other venues in Hong Kong with the objective of maintaining its market leading position in Hong Kong.

Music production, distribution and publishing

For the year ended 31 December 2008, the Group’s music production, distribution and publishing division released 56 albums, including titles by Andy Lau, Denise Ho, Andy Hui, Leon Lai, Janice M. Vidal, Miriam Yeung, Fama, Ivana Wong, Chet Lam, Wilfred Lau, At 17, Richie Jen, Bosco Wong, Cherry Wong and Pong Nan.

During the year, the Group also recruited several new singers (some of whom were top performers in a singing/performance contest organised by, inter alia, Macao Studio City and East Asia Music in Macau in November 2007), as well as renowned composers and lyricists.

— 89 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Following the acquisition of music libraries containing over 3,000 songs and 400 music videos in late 2007 and in 2008, the Group has, during the year under review, greatly enhanced its position to expand into the new media distribution business. During the year under review, the Group steadily grew its position in the market for music publishing and generated a stable and recurring cash flow.

Television drama and content production, and distribution

As part of the Group’s effort to build a comprehensive entertainment platform with an extensive Chinese language content in Greater China, the Group has decided to expand its entertainment offerings to include TV drama business. During the year, the Group has either continued discussions or commenced co-operation with renowned television dramas and content directors, producers and artistes in the Mainland of China to produce television dramas and content. In addition, the Group reactivated its distribution network with the intention to expand this part of the operation.

LSD

For the year ended 31 December 2008, LSD’s results as attributable to the Group were adversely affected by, among other things, a loss on fair value change in the LSD’s investment properties due to the recent downturn in the property market, as compared to a significant gain on fair value change in LSD’s investment properties in the previous year and from its further share of the results of the Group as a result of the cross-holdings between LSD and the Company.

In July 2007, LSD completed the disposal of its 50% interest in Majestic Hotel and Majestic Centre, Kowloon, Hong Kong. In December 2007 and March 2008, LSD completed respective sales of a 16.57% and a 10% interests in a former subsidiary which owned the property on which The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong was formerly located. For the year under review, LSD made a provision for tax indemnity granted by it to Lai Fung Holdings Limited (“Lai Fung”) in November 1997 at the time of effecting the separate listing of Lai Fung on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

For the year under review, the Group reported an operating loss (before taking into account the Group’s share of LSD’s loss as mentioned above) of

— 90 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

approximately HK$314,227,000 (2007: profit of HK$248,427,000). Since LSD holds a 36.08% equity interest in the Company, LSD is required to equity account for the operating loss of the Group. As the Group also holds a 36.72% equity interest in LSD, the Group is required to further take up LSD’s share of the Group’s operating results. The effect of such recurring process leads to the Group taking up a further loss of HK$46,702,000 (2007: profit of HK$36,482,000) and such amount is included in the Group’s share of profits and losses of associates.

As a result of the abovementioned factors, the Group’s share of LSD’s losses included within the Group’s share of profits and losses of associates, after taking into account the cross-holdings between the Group and LSD, for the year ended 31 December 2008 was HK$71,249,000 (2007: profit of HK$647,283,000).

Development properties

3 Connaught Road Central Project (Redevelopment of the former The Ritz- Carlton Hong Kong site)

This joint redevelopment project is a 50:50 joint venture between LSD and a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Construction Bank Corporation (“CCB”). The buildable GFA for the redevelopment is approximately 225,000 square feet. The redeveloped office tower will become a landmark property in Central, Hong Kong. Part of the redeveloped property, upon its completion, will be used by CCB as offices of its Hong Kong operations.

Demolition work of the former The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong hotel property started in April 2008 and was completed in January 2009. Foundation work is now in progress. The entire redevelopment work is now expected to be completed by the end of 2011.

Wood Road Project, Wanchai

This joint residential development project is a 50:50 joint venture between LSD and a unit of AIG Global Real Estate Investment (Asia) LLC. The development has a planned total gross floor area of approximately 140,000 square feet and total development cost is now estimated to be about HK$1.3 billion.

— 91 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Foundation work started in November 2007 and was completed in September 2008. Above-ground construction work is scheduled for completion by 2011.

Tai Po Road Project

LSD owns 100% of this development project. The development has a planned total gross floor area of over 60,000 square feet mainly for residential use and the total development cost is now estimated to be about HK$500 million.

Foundation work started in mid April 2008 and was completed in September 2008. Superstructure work is scheduled for completion by 2010.

Yau Tong Project

LSD completed the purchase of a site located at No. 4 Shung Shun Street, Yau Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong in September 2008. The consideration for the purchase was HK$188 million.

The site, which covers an area of approximately 17,760 square feet, is currently used as an open-air carpark. Subject to approval of lease modification of the site to non-industrial use and payment of the relevant land premium, LSD intends to develop the site into a residential-cum-commercial property with a total gross floor area of about 106,000 square feet.

Other matters relating to the Company

Planned share placement

On 11 December 2008, the Company announced a proposed placement of shares (the “Placing”) representing approximately 8.82% of the Company’s issued share capital (the “Placing Shares”) as enlarged by the Placing Shares, at the subscription price of HK$0.50 per Placing Share, together with unlisted bonus warrants on a 1-for-1 basis in respect of each Placing Share, with each warrant entitling the holder to subscribe for one new share (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of HK$0.50 per Warrant Share at any time from the date of issue until December 2011. If allotted and issued in full, the Warrant Shares would have represented approximately 8.10% of the Company’s total issued share capital as enlarged by the issue of the Warrant Shares. The Placing was scheduled to have completed on 24 December 2008.

— 92 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

The proceeds were intended to be used to finance the Group’s media and entertainment businesses and otherwise for general working capital purposes.

On 22 December 2008, Passport Special Opportunities Master Fund, LP and Passport Global Master Fund SPC Limited (together defined as “Passport”) obtained an ex parte injunction temporarily restraining the Company from proceeding with the Placing. In light of this, the Company agreed with Chung Nam Securities Limited (the “Placing Agent”) to extend the longstop date for completion of the Placing agreement to 9 January 2009 to accommodate an interpartes hearing on 6 January 2009 concerning the Placing, which transpired to be procedural, rather than substantive, in nature. A further hearing was set down for 22 January 2009, pending which the injunction remained in place. The Court also ordered Passport to fortify its undertaking in damages by the provision of a bank guarantee in the sum of HK$120 million to compensate any loss to the Company and any other party affected.

Given the increase in the Company’s share prices during the intervening period between 11 December 2008 and 9 January 2009 and the uncertainty resulting from the continuation of the interim injunction, the board of directors of the Company determined not to agree to a further extension of the Placing agreement, which terminated without completing on 9 January 2009.

Further developments since January 2009 are set out in the section headed “Funding needs and outstanding litigation with Passport”.

OUTLOOK

Macao Studio City

In view of its planned scale, unique positioning in Macau and combination of proposed facilities within it, we firmly believe Macao Studio City will, in due course, become one of the region’s major entertainment destinations and will be an important platform for the Group to expand and monetise its entertainment and media expertise. Accordingly, the Group remains firmly committed to this project.

— 93 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Media and entertainment

Film production and distribution

MAEG will continue to explore and/or consider various film projects in the coming years with the objectives of (1) building momentum by steadily increasing the number of films produced per annum, with the aim of expanding market share as well as diversifying earnings risk as a result of over reliance on a small number of films produced per annum; (2) fully exploiting our relationships with leading/renowned studios, directors and producers (including China Film, Shanghai Film, Avex Film, Mr. Feng Xiaogang, Mr. Johnnie To and Mr. Andrew Lau) to increase the number of quality films produced; and (3) expanding our film revenue base in other places by entering into relationships with leading studios beyond Greater China.

Film production joint venture

MAEG intends to increase its yearly total investment in film production by financing it from internal resources and, as appropriate, with external support, such as via co-production (as is the case with PAMIEM Film Fund Limited mentioned above).

Live entertainment

The Group has diversified, and will continue to diversify, its performance events from major pop concerts to various miniconcerts in different venues and/or participation in other types of shows, including but not limited to, musical performances and dramas. However, the contributions to be generated from such kinds of relatively small scale performance (in terms of seating and show days) may not be significant as compared to contributions from major venues, such as the re-opened Hong Kong Coliseum.

On the other hand, the Group is increasing its efforts to expand into live entertainment promotions in the Mainland of China. With the successful completion of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and the upcoming Shanghai 2010 Expo, the Group expects a lot more venues to be available for performances in the Mainland, which in turn increase our business opportunities. However, due to the keen domestic competition and various

— 94 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

regulatory compliance matters in the Mainland, the development of this business is likely to require patience and commitment.

In 2009, the live entertainment division of the Group has already scheduled its own production of around 10 concerts and entertainment events by popular local artistes and participation in the productions of around 10 other concerts by other promoters, already involving around 70 shows in total.

Music production, distribution and publishing

As regards music production and distribution, the main objectives include (1) to increase our market share in Hong Kong with the goal of greatly enhancing the brand presence of East Asia Music, Capital Artists, Amusic, and CMD in Southern China; and (2) to debut East Asia Music’s expansion into Mandarin album releases targeting the Greater China market.

Despite the continuing challenge of dwindling physical music sales, the Group’s outlook is cautiously optimistic given (1) that the shift in consumers’ pattern from physical to digital music sales offers unique opportunities to derive new revenue streams from digital sales; and (2) the longer term prospects for the digital music market in the Mainland.

Television drama and content production, and distribution

The Group has identified three distinct positives to be exploited in respect of TV drama business in the Mainland, namely (1) that it offers stable recurring cash flow; (2) that premium quality TV drama offer very stable margins and (3) that it offers the Group a window/opportunity to expand and develop its artiste management business in the Mainland. Accordingly, the Group intends to continue its efforts to develop and groom this business.

LSD

Crashes in financial markets and global economic recession have created enormous uncertainties and risks. As one of the most open economies in the world, Hong Kong has inevitably experienced a slowdown in economic activity. With continuous improvement of LSD’s operations and with the timely disposal of assets in the past few years, LSD has a healthy balance sheet with reasonable leverage.

— 95 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Investment properties

With current high occupancy in LSD’s investment properties, LSD has in the past economic cycle successfully strengthened its tenant and trade mix, which well prepares LSD to operate through difficult economic environment ahead. In the coming year, it is understood that LSD will take a defensive approach as regards its rental policies, with the objectives of maintaining occupancy rates and rental cashflows from its investment properties.

Development properties

In anticipation of a possible sharp downturn in the local economy and negative market sentiment generally, prices of residential properties in Hong Kong have fallen since September 2008. In recent months, the Hong Kong residential market has shown early signs of stabilisation after price rationalisations in respect of newly launched projects and the easing in mortgage availability. In the long run, strong affordability, low interest rates and tight supply in the pipeline should benefit the Hong Kong property market.

LSD currently holds a few residential projects under development in Hong Kong. As two of LSD’s development properties, the Wood Road project, Wanchai and the Tai Po Road project, are both in early development phase, LSD’s development and realisation plan are not severely affected by the market at the moment. Given the shortage in supply in core city areas in Hong Kong, LSD is understood to be cautiously optimistic on the Hong Kong residential properties in the longer term. It is further understood that LSD will monitor the local property market closely and will adopt a prudent approach towards acquiring new development projects in future.

The Company believes that the reasons for the Placing (as described above), being to strengthen the capital base of the Company’s media and entertainment business and otherwise the general working capital of the Company, remain valid and that there is a continued need to raise such funds to develop that business. The Company will consider and, if appropriate, pursue plans for a placing or other funding options in due course. Meanwhile, the Board

— 96 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

continues to be satisfied that the termination of the Placing agreement (as mentioned above) will not have any immediate material adverse financial impact on the current operations.

At the Court hearing on 22 January 2009, the injunction obtained by Passport on 22 December 2008 was discharged on the basis that the Placing agreement between the Company and the Placing Agent lapsed on 9 January 2009. The Court gave further procedural directions for, and relating to, the setting down of a trial, scheduled to take place in November 2009, to determine among other things, whether or not the injunction was validly obtained in the first place. The Company and its Directors intend vigorously to defend Passport’s claims and pursue their own rights against Passport. The Court granted leave to the Placing Agent and certain of the placees to join the legal proceedings as parties who were adversely affected by Passport’s injunction so that they too might pursue their rights and remedies. Passport’s obligation to put up a bank guarantee in the sum of HK$120 million to fortify its undertaking in damages remains in place and is required to be extended to all interveners.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Overview of results

For the year ended 31st December, 2007, the Group recorded a turnover from continuing operations of HK$289,780,000 (2006: HK$148,938,000), representing an increase of approximately 94.6% from the previous year. The increase was largely due to higher entertainment event income and the consolidation of the financial results of Media Asia Entertainment Group Limited (“MAEG”) following the completion of the privatisation and delisting of MAEG on the Singapore Stock Exchange in August 2007.

For the year under review, the Group recorded a profit from operating activities of HK$324,189,000 (2006: HK$857,066,000), representing a decrease of approximately 62.2% from the previous year.

— 98 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

The decrease in profit from operating activities as compared to the previous year was mainly due to: (i) the amount of a gain on sale of a 20% effective interest in Macao Studio City to CapitaLand Integrated Resorts Pte. Limited (“CapitaLand Integrated Resorts”) of HK$499,969,000 versus a gain on sale of a 40% effective interest in Macao Studio City project to New Cotai, LLC (“New Cotai”) of HK$974,556,000 in the previous year, (ii) the increase in total expenses (marketing, administrative and other operating) for the year ended 31st December, 2007 of HK$276,390,000 (2006: HK$193,461,000), exceeded the amount of increase in other revenue (mainly interest income) and other operating gains for the year ended 31st December, 2007 of HK$62,758,000 (2006: HK$18,628,000) and HK$4,751,000 (2006: HK$24,280,000) respectively. The increase in total expenses was attributed to the increase in headcount of executives and staff to oversee the various business operations of the Group and the joint venture development of Macao Studio City project, as well as the consolidation of the expenses related to MAEG.

For the year ended 31st December, 2007, the Group recorded a profit after tax from continuing operations of HK$924,351,000 (2006: HK$1,180,992,000). During the year, the Group discontinued its satellite television operations and such discontinued operation incurred a loss of HK$35,827,000 (2006: a loss of HK$30,924,000).

For the year ended 31st December, 2007, the Group achieved a consolidated profit attributable to equity holders of the Company of HK$895,710,000 (2006: HK$1,150,068,000), representing a reduction by approximately 22.1% as compared to the previous year. Share of profits of associates (in this case, mainly Lai Sun Development Company Limited (“LSD”)) of HK$642,044,000 was up by approximately 87.0% from HK$343,360,000 of the previous year. The amount of the share of losses of jointly-controlled entities (in this case, mainly Macao Studio City joint venture) of HK$32,147,000 was up by approximately 284.4% from HK$8,363,000 of the previous year.

Shareholders’ equity as at 31st December, 2007 amounted to HK$4,669,218,000, up from HK$3,624,693,000 as at 31st December, 2006. Net asset value per share as at 31st December, 2007 was HK$5.64, as compared to HK$4.42 as at 31st December, 2006.

The project will be developed on a site strategically located “Where Cotai BeginsTM”, next to the new Lotus Bridge immigration checkpoint, linking the complex directly to Zhuhai’s Hengqin Island.

Joint venture arrangements

In December 2006, the Group completed the sale of a 40% interest in Cyber One Agents Limited (“Cyber One” or “Macao Studio City JV”), the investment holding company of the Macao Studio City project, to our US joint venture partner New Cotai.

In March 2007, the Group further completed the sale of a 33.3% interest in East Asia Satellite Television (Holdings) Limited (“East Asia”), the holding company of the 60% interest in Cyber One, to CapitaLand Integrated Resorts. CapitaLand Integrated Resorts is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CapitaLand Limited, one of the largest listed real estate companies in Asia.

— 101 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Hotel partnerships

During the year, Macao Studio City JV executed various agreements or memoranda of understanding regarding hotel components of the project. Phase I of Macao Studio City will involve the building of a luxury Ritz-Carlton Hotel (256 rooms) and W Hotel (563 rooms), a first-class Marriott Hotel (965 rooms) and a new super-luxury boutique hotel under the brand “The Tang Hotel” (118 rooms). These four world-class hotel partners of the Macao Studio City project will add over 1,900 hotel rooms to the Cotai area.

Retail partnership

On 29th January, 2008, Macao Studio City JV entered into certain agreements with a subsidiary of Taubman Centers, Inc. (“Taubman”) in respect of a joint venture to be established for the purpose of owning, developing and operating of retail shopping arcade in Phase I of Macao Studio City (“Phase I Retail Component”) and to document a right of first offer in respect of the retail component of Phase II of Macao Studio City.

Taubman is a global leader of the shopping center industry. Phase I Retail Component comprises retail space of approximately 904,000 square feet of GFA. Macao Studio City JV, which retains a 75% interest in the Phase I Retail Component, will develop the Phase I Retail Component in a joint venture with Taubman.

Under these agreements, Macao Studio City JV has sold to Taubman a 25% equity participation interest in the Phase I Retail Component for an initial cash consideration of approximately HK$376.80 million and re-imbursement of 25% of the development costs. Macao Studio City JV will further receive additional consideration, depending upon performance, of the Phase I Retail Component over time. The initial cash consideration of approximately HK$376.80 million has been calculated on the estimated value of 25% of the GFA of the Phase I Retail Component, determined at HK$1,667 per square foot.

Independent shareholders of the Company have also approved the relevant agreements in respect of the joint venture with Taubman at a special general meeting of the Company held on 18th March, 2008.

— 102 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Playboy Mansion Macao

In September 2007, the Company announced that Macao Studio City JV entered into agreements with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Playboy Enterprises International, Inc. (“Playboy”) to develop “Playboy Mansion Macao” in Phase I of Macao Studio City project. Playboy Mansion Macao will be a Playboy-inspired multi-use entertainment venue of approximately 30,000 to 40,000 square feet.

Financing

According to the latest development plan of Macao Studio City project, Phase I of the project will require a development cost of approximately US$1.7 billion (including, but not limited to, hard construction costs, fixtures and equipment, soft and consultancy costs, contingency, interest coverage and pre- opening expenses, but excluding land value).

As the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the US emerged in 2007, the widespread dispersion of credit risk caused financial institutions to reduce lending activity or to make loans at higher interest rates. The deteriorating global credit and bond markets negatively affected and delayed the anticipated debt fundraising exercise of Macao Studio City. As of the date of this report, Macao Studio City JV is still working with banks on the debt financing element of the project.

In view of the difficult credit market conditions, shareholders of Macao Studio City JV entered into a memorandum of understanding on 9th November, 2007 that, amongst other things, called for the proposed injection of additional capital into the joint venture and the granting of other financial support by its shareholders. As envisaged by such Memorandum of Understanding, shareholders of Macao Studio City JV agreed to increase shareholders’ contribution to Macao Studio City project, on a several basis, to US$500 million, subject to the approval of eSun shareholders and further negotiation of definitive documents to reflect and expand upon matters agreed in the Memorandum of Understanding. As at date of this report, the shareholders of Macao Studio City JV have already contributed capital of US$200 million.

Assuming the definitive documents are settled and entered into, and the relevant terms are approved by eSun shareholders, eSun’s outstanding funding

— 103 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

commitment to Macao Studio City JV will be US$120 million (equivalent to approximately HK$936 million), being 40% of the additional capital of US$300 million.

The current situation is that the parties have yet to finalise the long term definitive documentation envisaged by the Memorandum of Understanding. However, eSun remains committed to negotiating in good faith with a view to concluding the definitive documents. Given the delay in agreeing the definitive documentation, it is now permissible for any party to terminate the Memorandum of Understanding. As at the date of this report, no party has taken this step.

Until the definitive documents can be agreed, the obligation on the Company’s subsidiary, East Asia, to make the additional funding contributions of US$180 million (i.e. 60% of the US$300 million) to the Macao Studio City JV as envisaged by the Memorandum of Understanding, has yet to become legally-binding. As such, the obligation on the Company to make its pro-rata contribution towards this US$180 million sum (i.e. US$120 million, being two-thirds thereof) has also yet to become legally-binding.

Although, the longer timeframe required to finalise the definitive documents may prolong the time needed to settle the overall funding plan for the Macao Studio City project, the Company remains firmly committed to the Macao Studio City project and is determined to proceed with its rights issue, as announced in March 2008. The rights issue is not and has never been conditional upon finalising the definitive documents and, as previously announced, the Company wishes to have sufficient capital available for the Macao Studio City project, however the project evolves, and otherwise for its general working capital purposes.

Construction

The ground breaking ceremony of Macao Studio City project was held in January 2007. Foundation work for Phase I of the project has been completed. We anticipate the construction work for Phase I would commence upon finalisation of the loan financing element of the project.

Media and entertainment

Film production and distribution — MAEG

In August 2007, the Group completed the privatisation and delisting of MAEG on the Singapore Stock Exchange and MAEG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group.

After completion of the privatisation, the Group would be able to enjoy greater autonomy over MAEG’s business direction and better control over deployment and utilisation of resources. The increase in the Group’s interest in MAEG will enhance the Group’s media and entertainment business portfolio and promote synergies with other business units of the Group. For the year ended 31st December, 2007, the MAEG Group contributed a turnover of HK$84,088,000 and a gross profit of HK$15,830,000 to the Group’s consolidated results.

PROSPECTS

Overall

Macao Studio City project will dramatically transform the Group’s businesses. Given its mega-scale and its unique positioning in Macau  a new integrated leisure, convention and retail centre in Asia, we expect Macao Studio City will stand as one of the major entertainment destinations for visitors from Greater China and other parts of the world. It will become an important platform for the Group to expand and monetarise its entertainment and media expertise. The Group’s current prime objective is to ensure smooth execution of Phase I of Macao Studio City.

Macao Studio City

The joint venture shareholders and component partners provide the project with world-class expertise in different areas and complement the Group’s strong position in the media and entertainment sector.

As mentioned above, the Company remains firmly committed to the Macao Studio City project and is determined to proceed with its fully-underwritten 1-for-2 rights issue to raise net proceeds of around HK$1 billion as announced in March 2008. The rights issue is conditional upon LSD shareholders passing a resolution to permit LSD to participate in the rights issue but is not and has never been conditional upon finalising the definitive documents. As previously announced, the Company wishes to have sufficient capital available for the Macao Studio City project, however the project evolves, and otherwise for its general working capital purposes. With the increase in shareholders’ contribution, Macao Studio City JV will have a very substantial equity base comprising shareholders contribution and the land value. Even though the global credit market still remains unstable, Macao Studio City JV targets to complete the debt financing exercise within this year in order to finance the development of Phase I of the project.

Construction for super-structure work of Phase I of the project will commence once the debt financing exercise is finalised. Construction schedule and formal opening of Phase I will now depend on timing of the conclusion of the debt financing exercise. The Group however targets completion of Phase I in 2010, subject to financing.

Media and entertainment

The Group’s vision is to become the top five Chinese language content entertainment company in Greater China. Key initiatives in 2008 include 1) expand the Group’s footprint into the Mainland (the “PRC”) in all segments of our entertainment offering; 2) initiate/source TV drama production/co- production opportunities in the PRC; and 3) engage in music publishing business.

Film production and distribution

After privatising MAEG in 2007, the film production and distribution division initiatives in 2008 include 1) continued building momentum of the Group by steadily increasing the number of films produced per annum with the aim of expanding market share as well as diversifying earnings risk as a result of over reliant on small number of films produced per annum; 2) fully deploy our relationships with leading/reknown director and producer that MAEG has co-operated with in the past including Mr. Johnnie To and Mr. Andrew Lau to increase the number of quality films produced; 3) expand film revenue base in multiple geographies by engaging into relationships with leading studios beyond Greater China.

MAEG is also planning a number of big budget films in the coming years. It intends to increase its yearly total investments in film production with its internal resources and other external sources, including but not limited to, jointly produced with independent film funds.

Live entertainment

Live Entertainment division sees great opportunity in expanding footprints in multiple geographies. 2008 initiatives include 1) maintain our live entertainment dominant market leadership position in Hong Kong; 2) expand into live entertainment promotion business in the PRC; 3) make our debut into the live entertainment promotion business into Macao; 4) strategically develop long run live entertainment projects; and 5) source/train more talent new singers/composers/lyric writers.

— 110 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Music production, distribution and publishing

Music production and distribution main objectives include 1) increase our market share in Hong Kong with the goals of greatly enhancing East Asia Music, Amusic, and Clot Music brand presence in Southern China; and 2) debut East Asia Music expansion into Mandarin album release targeting the PRC market.

Despite continued challenge in dwindling physical music sales, the Group is cautiously optimistic with the outlook as 1) the shift in consumers pattern from physical to digital music sales offer unique opportunities to extract new revenue streams from digital sales; and 2) the indication over the longer term prospect of the digital music market in the PRC.

The Group entered into music publishing business in late 2007 through establishing East Asia Music Publishing. Music publishing is highly attractive 1) as evidenced by global music labels, music publishing offers recurring and stable cash flows; and 2) revenue streams are ever expanding as new digital media platform emerges globally, and particularly in the PRC, which slowly emerges to offer means to collect publishing fees.

Television drama

There are three distinct advantages to TV drama business in the PRC, namely 1) it offers stable recurring cash flow; 2) premium quality TV drama offers very stable margin and 3) it also offers the Group a window/opportunity to expand and develop our artiste management business in the PRC. Accordingly, the management intends to place more focus to develop and groom this business in the near future.

LSD

Property investment and development

LSD continues to improve its tenant mix in its investment properties so as to strengthen its rental income base. Other than its current development projects, LSD is also actively looking for new development projects in Hong Kong and overseas which offer good investment returns.

B. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Set out below is the management discussion and analysis on the Lai Fung Group as extracted from the annual reports of Lai Fung for each of the three years ended 31 July 2009 and the interim report for the six months ended 31 January 2010 (the “Lai Fung Management Discussion and Analysis”). Terms used below shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Lai Fung Management Discussion and Analysis.

1. For the six months ended 31 January 2010

OVERVIEW OF INTERIM RESULTS

For the six months ended 31 January 2010, the Group recorded a turnover of HK$877,341,000 (2009: HK$148,092,000) and a gross profit of HK$639,112,000 (2009: HK$109,488,000), representing an increase of approximately 492.4% and 483.7% respectively from the previous corresponding period.

Out of the total turnover, gross rental income decreased by 34.8% from HK$120,147,000 to HK$78,291,000, which was mainly due to closure and renovation of the shopping arcades and serviced apartments portions of Shanghai Hong Kong Plaza. Owing to further contribution from the sales of residential units of Shanghai Regents Park Phase II during the six months ended 31 January 2010, turnover from sales of properties increased substantially from HK$27,945,000 to HK$799,050,000. Gross profit margin remained stable at 72.8%, compared to 73.9% in the previous corresponding period.

During the period, the Group recorded the following major non-operating income/expenses items:

— a provision for impairment loss on certain properties under development of HK$35,375,000 (2009: a provision of HK$62,668,000);

— a fair value gain on its completed investment properties of HK$151,074,000 (2009: a loss of HK$64,278,000); and

— 114 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

— a fair value gain on its investment properties under construction of HK$124,841,000 (2009: Nil) due to the Group’s adoption of HKAS 40 Amendment. Prior to the adoption of Amendment to HKAS 40, the Group’s investment properties under construction were carried at cost until the construction is completed, at which time it will be fair valued. As a result of the HKAS 40 Amendment, such investment properties under construction will be carried at fair value when the fair value first becomes reliably measurable. Any gain or loss will be recognised in profit or loss, consistent with the policy adopted for all other investment properties carried at fair value.

During the previous corresponding period of the six months ended 31 January 2009, the Group recorded a gain of HK$256,311,000 on the termination of all cross currency swaps. As these cross currency swaps were fully terminated during the previous corresponding period, no such gain was recorded again during the six months ended 31 January 2010.

Finance costs expensed during the period reduced to HK$44,187,000 (2009: HK$66,539,000), after finance costs of HK$47,149,000 (2009: HK$34,765,000) had been capitalised in properties under development, investment properties and property, plant and equipment during the period.

For the six months ended 31 January 2010, profit from operating activities was HK$815,233,000 (2009: HK$203,389,000) and profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was HK$356,678,000 (2009: HK$140,716,000), representing an increase of approximately 300.8% and 153.5% respectively from the previous corresponding period.

Basic earnings per share was HK4.43 cents for the six months ended 31 January 2010 compared to HK1.75 cents for the previous corresponding period.

Shareholders’ equity as at 31 January 2010 amounted to HK$7,555,401,000, up from HK$7,210,784,000 as at 31 July 2009. Net asset value per share attributable to equity holders of the Company was HK$0.94 as at 31 January 2010, as compared to HK$0.90 as at 31 July 2009.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Investment properties

Property rental results

During the six months ended 31 January 2010, the Group recorded a turnover of HK$78,291,000 from rental income. Breakdown of turnover from rental income is as follows:

Six months ended 31 January 2010 2009 Change HK$ HK$ %

Shanghai Hong Kong Plaza 32,044,000 76,491,000 (58.1)

Shanghai Regents Park (commercial podium and carparking spaces) 3,491,000 3,294,000 6.0

Shanghai Northgate Plaza I 9,632,000 10,263,000 (6.1)

Guangzhou May Flower Plaza 32,630,000 30,099,000 8.4

Others 494,000 —n/a

Total 78,291,000 120,147,000 (34.8)

During the period, the decrease in rental income from Shanghai Hong Kong Plaza was mainly due to closure of its shopping arcades and serviced apartments portions for renovation work. As the Group is now considering renovation plan and new trade-mix for Shanghai Northgate Plaza I, rental income for this property also recorded negative growth as some of the previous tenants opted to move out of the property.

On the other hand, rental income from Guangzhou May Flower Plaza recorded a healthy growth for the period under review.

— 117 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

During the period, the Group recorded turnover from sales of the residential units at Shanghai Regents Park Phase II during the six months ended 31 January 2010. Contracted sales of residential and office units at Guangzhou West Point during the six months ended 31 January 2010 and during earlier periods will be recorded in the second half of this financial year ending 31 July 2010.

MARKET OVERVIEW AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

The Group is principally engaged in property development for sale and property investment for rental purposes in the Mainland of China (“China”). The Group currently has property projects in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Zhongshan.

During the period under review, China’s property market experienced more- than-expected surges in transaction volume and total investment. Such bullish sentiment was inevitably a result of the massive economic stimulus packages and quantitative credit easing policies implemented by the Central Government since the beginning of 2009. There are now varying views in the market on whether and how the Central Government should retract those previously imposed stimulus policies, including monetary easing and support measures for China’s real estate sector. The market now further anticipates fine tuning on existing policies such as bank credit control and further adjustment in property-related tax policies, in order to keep the surging housing prices at a reasonable level and suppress speculative demand.

Overall, the Group is cautiously optimistic about the China property market and will continue its construction and property sales schedule plan according to market developments.

REVIEW OF MAJOR PROPERTY PROJECTS

Shanghai

Shanghai Hong Kong Plaza

Shanghai Hong Kong Plaza is a twin-tower prime property located at Huaihaizhong Road, Luwan District, Shanghai comprising office, shopping arcades and serviced apartments. The property is directly above Huangpi

— 118 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

South Road Metro Station and is within walking distance of Xintiandi. Rental income for the six months ended 31 January 2010 amounted to HK$32,044,000, down by 58.1% from HK$76,491,000 in the previous corresponding period. Such decrease in rental income was mainly due to closure of its shopping arcades and serviced apartments portions for renovation work.

Landlord’s renovation work on the shopping arcades under both towers have been substantially completed. At present, about 70% of the leasable areas of the shopping arcades portion have been pre-leased. In the past months, the Group has successfully secured The Apple Store, Cartier, Coach and Tiffany as anchor tenants which will open flagship stores in Shanghai Hong Kong Plaza’s shopping arcades. Other signed tenants include well-known luxury brands and high-end restaurants. Tenant’s renovation works are now in active progress. Shanghai Hong Kong Plaza’s shopping arcades are now expected to re-open in mid-2010 in line with Shanghai Expo 2010. Upon its re-opening, Shanghai Hong Kong Plaza’s shopping arcades will be one of the most visible high-end retail venues for global luxury brands in Huaihaizhong Road area.

The serviced apartments portion of Shanghai Hong Kong Plaza under the Group was vacated for full renovation since August 2009 to upgrade the quality of the rooms and the services. The Group has engaged the Ascott Group to manage the serviced apartments portion, and hopes this will enable the Group to leverage on the Ascott Group’s extensive experience and expertise in operating serviced apartments and to establish a high-end brand image. Soft-opening of the re-branded serviced apartments of Hong Kong Plaza is expected to take place in mid-2010.

Renovation of common areas and lift lobbies of the office tower was completed at the end of 2009. As at 31 January 2010, the office tower was about 80% leased. As renovation of the entire Shanghai Hong Kong Plaza will be completed in the second half of 2010, the Group is confident that occupancy rate at the office tower will improve in future.

The rental income of Hong Kong Plaza is expected to be substantially improved from its current level upon its re-opening after the renovation. However, before its completion, the rental income will be further affected by the renovation for the rest of the financial year ending 31 July 2010.

— 123 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Zhongshan Palm Springs

The project is located in Caihong Planning Area, West District of Zhongshan. Having taken into account the prevailing market conditions after late 2008 and the expected supply from other developers in this area, the Group has revised the development plan and reduced the total GFA of Zhongshan Palm Spring project to approximately 406,000 sq.m. The Group believes that the lower density of the revised development plan will enhance the competitiveness of the products in today’s Zhongshan’s property market.

It is now planned that Phase I of the project will comprise high-rise residential towers with a total saleable GFA of approximately 44,000 sq.m., commercial areas with a total GFA of approximately 16,000 sq.m. and low-rise townhouses and semi-detached villas with a total saleable GFA of approximately 27,000 sq.m..

CAPITAL STRUCTURE, LIQUIDITY AND DEBT MATURITY PROFILE

As at 31 January 2010, the Group had total borrowings in the amount of HK$2,800 million (as at 31 July 2009: HK$2,674 million), representing an increase of HK$126 million. The consolidated net assets attributable to the equity holders of the Company amounted to HK$7,555 million (as at 31 July 2009: HK$7,211 million). The total debt to equity ratio was 37% (as at 31 July 2009: 37%) and the total debt to total capitalisation (long-term debt + equity) ratio was 29% (as at 31 July 2009: 29%). The maturity profile of the Group’s borrowings of HK$2,800 million was spread with HK$628 million repayable within 1 year, HK$157 million repayable in the second year, HK$2,012 million repayable in the third to fifth years and HK$3 million repayable beyond 5 years.

Approximately 51% and 47% of the Group’s borrowings were on a fixed rate basis and floating rate basis respectively, and the remaining 2% of the Group’s borrowings were interest free.

Apart from the fixed rate senior notes, the Group’s other borrowings of HK$1,382 million were 43% denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”), 13% in Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) and 44% in United States Dollars (“USD”). The Group’s cash and bank balances of HK$2,490 million were 67% denominated in RMB, 15% in HKD and 18% in USD. — 124 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

The Group’s reporting currency is denominated in HKD. The Group’s monetary assets, liabilities and transactions are principally denominated in RMB, USD and HKD. The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from the exposure of HKD against USD and RMB, respectively. Considering that HKD is pegged against USD, the Group believes that the corresponding exposure to USD exchange rate fluctuation is nominal. However, the Group has a net exchange exposure to RMB as the Group’s assets are principally located in China and the revenues are in RMB.

Certain assets of the Group have been pledged to secure financing, including investment properties with carrying value of approximately HK$4,929 million, serviced apartments with carrying value of approximately HK$607 million, a property with carrying value of approximately HK$42 million and bank balances of approximately HK$245 million.

Under a litigation in a district court in China, the Group, as the claimant, claimed for a total of RMB17 million from one of the Group’s contractors. As a measure to preserve the payment ability of the defendant, the Group applied to the local court to freeze certain assets of the defendant. In return, the Group pledged certain leasehold building with a carrying value of approximately HK$45 million to the court as collateral.

Taking into account cash held as at the end of the reporting period, available banking facilities and the recurring cashflows from the Group’s operating activities, the Group believes it has sufficient liquidity to finance its existing property development and investment projects.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

There is no material change in contingent liabilities of the Group since 31 July 2009.

EMPLOYEE AND REMUNERATION POLICIES

As at 31 January 2010, the Group employed a total of around 1,100 staff. The Group recognises the importance of maintaining a stable staff force in its continued success. Under the Group’s existing policies, employee pay rates are maintained at competitive levels, whilst promotion and salary increments are

— 125 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

assessed on a performance-related basis. Discretionary bonuses are granted to certain employees on a merit basis and in accordance with industry practice. Other staff benefits include a share option scheme, mandatory provident fund scheme for all eligible employees, free hospitalisation insurance plan, subsidised medical care and subsidies for external education and training programmes.

PROSPECTS

Since early 2009, the abundance of liquidity with a low bank lending rate, plus the relaxation of control measures, encouraged the resurfacing of housing demand in China. Starting from the second quarter of 2009, there has been a broad-based significant surge in property transaction volume and selling prices across China.

However, certain risks within today’s China’s property market should not be neglected. Government policy is still a key to market development. Due to the faster-than-expected surges in property prices in certain cities, especially the first-tier cities in China, it would not be surprising to see further implementation of government policies on curbing market irregularities and misbehavior as well as suppressing speculative demand in housing. These government measures, if they turn out to be drastic, could cause short term fluctuation in China’s property market.

In the medium and long term, ongoing urbanisation and demand for living improvement will foster healthy growth of the real estate market in China. Overall, the Group is still cautiously optimistic about the China property market and believes that we are well positioned for growth in the coming years. The Group’s net gearing level was low by industry standard. In addition, the Group will keep its construction schedules of its existing development projects to fuel growth in turnover and profits for future financial years. Furthermore, the Group will continue to grow its recurrent income base through upgrade of existing rental properties and addition of new venues through completion of commercial property portions of the new development projects.

— 126 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

With the macro-economic condition as mentioned above, the Group will monitor the market closely and expand its landbank at appropriate time should there be a correction in land prices.

2. For the year ended 31 July 2009

RESULTS

For the year ended 31 July 2009, the Group recorded a turnover of HK$937,380,000 (2008: HK$868,001,000) and a gross profit of HK$632,436,000 (2008: HK$622,837,000), representing an increase of approximately 8.0% and 1.5% respectively from the previous year.

Out of the total turnover, rental income decreased by 14.0% from HK$254,160,000 to HK$218,525,000, which was mainly due to the adverse impact of renovation work on Shanghai Hong Kong Plaza. Owing to the contribution from sales of residential units of Shanghai Regents Park Phase II during the year ended 31 July 2009, turnover from sales of properties increased by 17.1% from HK$613,841,000 to HK$718,855,000. Mainly as a result of lower proportion of rental income compared to sales of development properties, gross profit margin decreased slightly to 67.5%, from 71.8% in the previous year.

During the year, the Group recorded the following major other operating income/expenses items:

— a gain of HK$256,311,000 on the termination of all cross currency swaps in October 2008. These cross currency swaps with an aggregate notional amount of US$200,000,000 (same amount as the 7-year maturity 9.125% fixed rate senior notes issued by the Company in April 2007 (the “Senior Notes”)) were intended to enable the Group to make interest and principal repayments of the Senior Notes at a fixed interest rate and at a contracted exchange rate of Renminbi (“RMB”) against United States dollars (“USD”);

— an exchange loss of HK$2,540,000 on a USD denominated bank loan (2008: a net exchange loss of HK$114,081,000 on a USD denominated bank loan and the cross currency swaps);

— 127 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

— a gain of HK$29,579,000 on repurchase of certain Senior Notes. During the year, the Group repurchased Senior Notes amounting to an aggregate principal value of US$14,253,000;

— a fair value gain on its investment properties of HK$143,127,000 (2008: HK$398,515,000); and

— an impairment loss on certain properties under development of HK$60,680,000 (2008: HK$99,561,000).

Finance costs expensed during the year reduced to HK$118,588,000 (2008: HK$151,911,000), after an amount of HK$77,030,000 (2008: HK$54,130,000) had been capitalised in properties under development during the year.

For the year ended 31 July 2009, profit from operating activities was HK$886,631,000 (2008: HK$761,532,000) and profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was HK$406,888,000 (2008: HK$206,005,000), representing an increase of approximately 16.4% and 97.5% respectively from the previous year. The increase in profit from operating activities was mainly due to lower other operating expenses, net (as detailed above). Other than the increase in profit from operating activities, profit attributable to equity holders of the Company increased, partly due to lower finance costs expensed.

Basic earnings per share was HK5.06 cents for the year ended 31 July 2009 compared to HK2.56 cents for the previous year.

Shareholders’ equity as at 31 July 2009 amounted to HK$7,210,784,000, up from HK$6,909,222,000 as at 31 July 2008. Net asset value per share attributable to equity holders of the Company was HK$0.90 as at 31 July 2009, as compared to HK$0.86 as at 31 July 2008.

During the year, rental income from Shanghai Hong Kong Plaza recorded a decrease of 29.2% to HK$128,520,000, which was mainly due to closure of its shopping arcades for renovation work and a decrease in occupancy rate of the serviced apartments.

The Group’s share of rental income for Shanghai Northgate Plaza I for the previous year had been recorded under “Share of profits of associates” before the Group acquired the remaining interests in January 2008.

Rental income from Guangzhou May Flower Plaza recorded an increase of 7.6% to HK$61,214,000 for the year under review.

West Point during the years ended 31 July 2008 and 2009 will be recorded in the next financial year ending 31 July 2010 upon substantial completion of construction of the project.

MARKET OVERVIEW AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

The Group is principally engaged in property development for sale and property investment for rental purposes in the Mainland of China (“China”). The Group currently has property projects in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Zhongshan.

During the year under review, China’s property market experienced great volatility. The austerity measures previously implemented by the Central Government in 2008 and the global financial turmoil in the fourth quarter of 2008 adversely affected market sentiment and volume of transactions of China’s real estate market and of the Group’s development properties available for sale in the whole of 2008. In response to the unfavourable market sentiment during this period, the Group rescheduled the construction program of some of its new development projects, and adjusted its sales programme in the first half of the year ended 31 July 2009.

Since the beginning of 2009, with the implementation of massive economic stimulating packages and relaxation of credit control by the Central Government and its central bank, China’s real estate market started to show strong recovery. Up to July 2009, primary transactions of residential sales at core city areas in Shanghai and Guangzhou have almost recovered to pre- financial crisis level in early 2008 in terms of both transaction volume and average selling prices. Such recovery was generally stronger than most of the market expectations. Utilising such prime opportunity, the Group, since the first quarter of 2009, geared up its marketing effort for its development properties available for sale and quickly achieved impressive sales results for Shanghai Regents Park Phase II and Guangzhou West Point. Despite the slow-down in the first half of the year under review, the Group concluded the financial year ended 31 July 2009 with sales targets and turnover well exceeding expectations.

REVIEW OF MAJOR PROPERTY PROJECTS

Shanghai

Shanghai Hong Kong Plaza

Hong Kong Plaza is a twin-tower prime property located at Huaihaizhong Road, Luwan District, Shanghai comprising office, shopping arcades and serviced apartments. The property is directly above Huangpi South Road Metro Station and is within walking distance of Xintiandi. Rental income for the year ended 31 July 2009 amounted to HK$128,520,000, down by 29.2% from HK$181,437,000 in the previous year. Such decrease in rental income was mainly due to closure of shopping arcades at Hong Kong Plaza for renovation work.

Renovation work on the shopping arcades under the serviced apartment tower commenced in July 2008. The renovation of the shopping arcades under the office tower also commenced in March 2009. The Group is now negotiating with various potential tenants for the renovated shopping arcades, and expects to re-open both shopping arcades in mid-2010. Upon completion, Hong Kong Plaza’s shopping arcades will be one of the most visible high-end retail venues for global luxury brands in the Huaihaizhong Road area.

Common areas and lift lobbies of the office tower were being renovated during the year and such renovation will be completed by the end of 2009. In addition, the serviced apartment portion of Hong Kong Plaza under the Group was vacated for full renovation at the end of July 2009 to upgrade the quality of the rooms and the services. The Group has engaged the Ascott Group to manage the serviced apartment portion, and hopes this will enable the Group to leverage on the Ascott Group’s extensive experience and expertise in operating serviced apartments and to establish a high-end brand image. Soft-opening of the re-branded serviced apartments of Hong Kong Plaza is expected to take place in mid-2010.

The rental income of Hong Kong Plaza is expected to be substantially improved from its current level upon completion of renovation. However, before its completion, rental income will be further affected by the renovation for the next financial year ending 31 July 2010.

Guangzhou Jinshazhou Project

The Jinshazhou project is a 50:50 joint venture with CapitaLand China Holdings Pte. Ltd. This proposed development in Hengsha, Baiyuan District, Guangzhou has a total GFA of approximately 369,000 sq.m. (GFA attributable to the Group of approximately 184,500 sq.m.), comprising low-rise and high- rise residential units with ancillary facilities including carparks and shopping amenities.

Completion of Phase I is expected to take place around or at the end of 2012.

Guangzhou Haizhu Plaza

Haizhu Plaza is located on Chang Di Main Road in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou along the Pearl River. The Group owns the entire interest in this project.

The proposed development has a GFA of approximately 103,000 sq.m., and is intended to be developed into a grade-A office tower, a serviced apartment tower, retail podium, carparks and ancillary facilities.

The project is currently in the process of resettlement, which is expected to be completed next year.

Guangzhou Donghua Dong Road Project

— 136 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

The project is currently at the planning stage and is intended to be developed into a serviced apartment tower, carparks and ancillary facilities. The project is now expected to be completed in 2012.

Guangzhou Guan Lu Road Project

The site is located in Guan Lu Road in Yuexiu District. The permitted GFA is approximately 14,000 sq.m.. The project is currently at the planning stage and is intended to be developed into a residential tower, carparks and ancillary facilities. The project is now expected to be completed in 2012.

Zhongshan Palm Springs

The project is located in Caihong Planning Area, West District of Zhongshan. Having taken into account the prevailing market condition after late 2008 and the expected supply from other developers in this area, the Group has revised the development plan and reduced the total GFA of Palm Springs project to approximately 406,000 sq.m.. The Group believes that the lower density of the revised development plan will enhance the competitiveness of the products in Zhongshan’s current property market.

It is now planned that Phase I of the project will comprise high-rise residential towers with a total saleable GFA of approximately 44,000 sq.m., commercial areas with a total GFA of approximately 16,000 sq.m. and low-rise townhouses and semi-detached villas with a total saleable GFA of approximately 27,000 sq.m.. Construction of Phase I development is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2010 and is expected to complete by the first half of 2012. Pre-sale of residential units will start in early 2011.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE, LIQUIDITY AND DEBT MATURITY PROFILE

As at 31 July 2009, the Group had total borrowings in the amount of HK$2,674 million (2008: HK$2,872 million), representing a decrease of HK$198 million. The consolidated net assets attributable to the equity holders of the Company amounted to HK$7,211 million (2008: HK$6,909 million). The total debt to equity ratio was 37% (2008: 42%) and the total debt to total capitalisation (long-term debt + equity) ratio was 29% (2008: 31%). The maturity profile of the Group’s borrowings of HK$2,674 million was spread with HK$582 million repayable within 1 year, HK$70 million repayable in the

— 137 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

second year, HK$2,018 million repayable in the third to fifth years and HK$4 million repayable beyond 5 years.

Approximately 53% and 45% of the Group’s borrowings were on a fixed rate basis and floating rate basis respectively, and the remaining 2% of the Group’s borrowings were interest free.

Apart from the Senior Notes, the Group’s other borrowings of HK$1,259 million were 37% denominated in RMB, 15% in Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) and 48% in USD. The Group’s cash and bank balances of HK$2,023 million were 44% denominated in RMB, 21% in HKD and 35% in USD.

The Group’s reporting currency is denominated in HKD. The Group’s monetary assets, liabilities and transactions are principally denominated in RMB, USD and HKD. The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from the exposure of HKD against USD and RMB, respectively. Considering that HKD is pegged against USD, the Group believes that the corresponding exposure to USD exchange rate fluctuation is nominal. However, the Group has a net exchange exposure to RMB as the Group’s assets are principally located in China and the revenues are in RMB.

In October 2008, the Group terminated the cross currency swap agreements and recorded a gain of HK$256,311,000. After the termination of the cross currency swap agreements, the Group does not have any derivative financial instruments or hedging instruments outstanding. The Group will constantly review the economic situation and its foreign currency risk profile, and will consider appropriate hedging measures in future as may be necessary.

Certain assets of the Group have been pledged to secure financing, including investment properties with carrying value of approximately HK$4,515 million, serviced apartments with carrying value of approximately HK$540 million, properties under development with carrying value of approximately HK$153 million, a property with carrying value of approximately HK$43 million and bank balances of approximately HK$190 million.

Under a litigation in a district court in China, the Group, as the claimant, claimed for a total of RMB17 million from one of the Group’s contractors. As a measure to preserve the payment ability of the defendant, the Group applied to the local court to freeze certain assets of the defendant. In return,

— 138 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

the Group pledged certain leasehold building with a carrying value of approximately HK$46 million to the court as collateral.

Taking into account cash held as at the balance sheet date, available banking facilities and the recurring cashflows from the Group’s operating activities, the Group believes it has sufficient liquidity to finance its existing property development and investment projects.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Details of contingent liabilities of the Group as at the balance sheet date are set out in note 35 to the financial statements.

EMPLOYEES AND REMUNERATION POLICIES

As at 31 July 2009, the Group employed a total of around 1,200 staff. The Group recognises the importance of maintaining a stable staff force in its continued success. Under the Group’s existing policies, employee pay rates are maintained at competitive levels, whilst promotion and salary increments are assessed on a performance-related basis. Discretionary bonuses are granted to certain employees on a merit basis and in accordance with industry practice. Other staff benefits include a share option scheme, mandatory provident fund scheme for all eligible employees, free hospitalisation insurance plan, subsidised medical care and subsidies for external education and training programmes.

PROSPECTS

In the past years, the real estate industry in China has been characterised by strong growth in housing demand and fluctuating government policies. In 2007, China’s property market experienced rapid development nationwide. In late 2007 and 2008, austerity measures by the Central Government triggered corrections of the overall property markets in China. In late 2008, the global financial turmoil further deteriorated the sentiment of China’s property market. In early 2009, abundant funds at a reasonable bank lending rate, plus the relaxation of control measures, encouraged the resurfacing of housing demand. Starting in the second quarter of 2009, there has been a broad-based market rebound with significant increase in property transaction volume and selling prices across China.

— 139 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

The faster-than-expected market recovery in the second quarter of 2009 induced supply shortage in certain cities, especially the first-tier cities in China. As the new supply could not keep pace with the fast growing demand, in the short-term, it is widely expected that there will be a contraction in property transaction volume but steady price increase.

In the medium and long term, ongoing urbanisation and demand for living improvement will foster healthy growth of the real estate market in China. Since the outbreak of the global financial turmoil in 2008, the Central Government has placed significant emphasis on domestic consumption to fuel economic growth. Real estate as an important segment of domestic consumption will be a key beneficiary. It is widely expected that the Central Government would not easily make a drastic shift from its current favourable policies towards real estate. However, there would be adjustment policies to pace the property market and economic rhythm. By then, this could cause short-term fluctuation in the property market in China.

Overall, the Group is cautiously optimistic about China’s property market and believes that we are well positioned for growth in the coming years. The Group’s net gearing level was low by industry standard. Owing to its strong sales performance for Shanghai Regents Park Phase II and Guangzhou West Point, the Group has locked in substantial sales revenue for the next financial year. In addition, the Group has re-accelerated the construction schedules of other development projects to fuel growth in turnover and profits for the financial years beyond next year.

With the macro-economic condition as mentioned above, the Group will monitor the market closely and expand its landbank at the appropriate time. Furthermore, the Group will continue to grow its recurrent income base through upgrading of existing rental properties and addition of new ones upon completion of commercial property portions of the new development projects.

3. For the year ended 31 July 2008

RESULTS

For the year ended 31 July 2008, the Group recorded a turnover of HK$868,001,000 (2007: HK$792,420,000) and a gross profit of HK$622,837,000 (2007: HK$425,309,000), representing an increase of approximately 10% and 46% respectively from previous year. Profit from operating activities was HK$761,532,000 (2007: HK$585,752,000) and profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was HK$206,005,000 (2007: HK$470,351,000), representing an increase of approximately 30% and a decrease of approximately 56% respectively from previous year.

The increase in profit from operating activities was mainly attributable to higher turnover, higher gross profit margin and higher revaluation gain on investment properties of the Group, despite an exchange loss of HK$160,102,000 (2007: HK$31,079,000) arising from the cross currency swap on the US$200 million senior notes issued in April 2007, which has been included in other operating expenses, net. The decrease in profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was mainly due to higher finance costs which included full-year interest expenses on the US$200 million senior notes and higher provision for corporate income tax and land appreciation tax as a result of sales of Regents Park Phase II. In addition, the deferred tax for the year ended 31 July 2008 also increased as a result of the increase in value of the Group’s investment properties while there were certain write-back of provisions on deferred tax as a result of adjustment in the corporate income tax rate in China for the year ended 31 July 2007.

Basic earnings per share was 2.56 HK cents for the year ended 31 July 2008 compared to 5.84 HK cents for the previous year.

Shareholders’ equity as at 31 July 2008 amounted to HK$6,909,222,000, up from HK$5,955,983,000 as at 31 July 2007. Net asset value per share attributable to equity holders of the Company was HK$0.86 as at 31 July 2008, as compared to HK$0.74 as at 31 July 2007.

MARKET OVERVIEW AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

The Group is principally engaged in property development for sale and property investment for rental purposes in the Mainland of China (“China”). The Group currently has property projects in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Zhongshan.

In 2008, the austerity measures implemented by the Central Government which were aimed at preventing the economy from overheating and ensuring a more stable and healthy real estate market had impacted property prices in some regions. In addition, the snowstorm, the Sichuan earthquake and the significant adjustment in China’s stock market also affected market sentiment and the volume of transactions in China’s real estate market.

— 143 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

The fallout from U.S. subprime predicament and the credit crunch created a lot of uncertainties. The global economic outlook will continue to be unstable. While China’s economic growth has shown signs of easing in the short term, its long term economic prospect remains positive and optimistic. China’s property market is still at the early stage of development. Ongoing urbanisation and demand for living improvement are expected to continue to hold firm. We believe that the efforts of the government to protect the real estate industry will ensure healthy development in the long term, although the global economic environment will be unstable, which may have some impact on China’s economy and may affect the real estate industry in the short term.

REVIEW OF MAJOR PROPERTY PROJECTS

Shanghai

Shanghai Hong Kong Plaza

Hong Kong Plaza is a twin-tower prime property located at Huaihaizhong Road, Luwan District, Shanghai comprising office, shopping arcades and serviced apartments. The property is directly above Huangpi Road South Metro Station and is within walking distance of Xintiandi. Rental income for the year ended 31 July 2008 amounted to HK$181,437,000, up from HK$174,456,000 in the previous year.

The planned renovation work on the shopping arcades under the serviced apartment tower has commenced in July this year. It is expected that the renovation will be completed in the second half of 2009. The renovation of the shopping arcades under the office tower will commence as soon as the existing tenants have moved out from the premises.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE, LIQUIDITY AND DEBT MATURITY PROFILE

As at 31 July 2008, the Group had total borrowings in the amount of HK$2,872 million (2007: HK$2,746 million), representing an increase of HK$126 million. The consolidated net assets attributable to the equity holders of the Company amounted to HK$6,909 million (2007: HK$5,956 million). The total debt to equity ratio was 42% (2007: 46%) and the total debt to total capitalisation (long-term debt + equity) ratio was 31% (2007: 35%).

Approximately 53% and 45% of the Group’s borrowings were on a fixed rate basis and floating rate basis respectively, while the remaining 2% of the Group’s borrowings were interest-free.

— 148 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Apart from the senior notes, the Group’s other borrowings of HK$1,354 million were 41% denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”), 14% in Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) and 45% in United States dollars (“USD”).

In order to match its USD exposure on the senior notes with its revenues, which are mainly denominated in RMB, the Group has hedged its USD exposure on the senior notes into RMB. Apart from this hedge, the Group does not hedge its other exposures in RMB and USD.

During the recent financial turmoil, USD has strengthened against RMB. However, we believe that this may be a short term phenomenon and RMB may continue to appreciate against USD when the financial market stabilises. In view of this, on 28 October 2008, the Company has taken the opportunity to terminate the cross currency swap agreements with financial institutions and received approximately HK$65,130,000 as proceeds. Together with the reversal of fair value loss on the cash flow hedges arising from the cross currency swap agreements and the balance of related hedge reserve as at 31 July 2008, total gains of approximately HK$256,311,000 are expected to be recognised in the consolidated income statement for the six months ending 31 January 2009. The above accounting treatments are subject to review and confirmation by the auditors for the audit of the final results of the Group for the year ending 31 July 2009. After the termination of the cross currency swap agreements, the Group does not have any derivative financial instruments or hedging instruments outstanding.

As at 31 July 2008, the Group’s bank borrowings were spread over a period of eight years, with approximately 45.0% repayable within one year, 54.4% repayable between two to five years and 0.6% repayable over five years. The term loans of the Group have amortisation throughout the tenure.

Certain assets of the Group have been pledged to secure financing, including investment properties with carrying value of approximately HK$4,313 million, serviced apartments with carrying value of approximately HK$554 million, properties under development with carrying value of approximately HK$601 million, completed properties for sale with carrying value of approximately HK$502 million, a property with carrying value of approximately HK$44 million and bank balances of approximately HK$213 million.

— 149 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Taking into account cash held as at the balance sheet date, available banking facilities and the recurring cashflow from the Group’s operating activities, the Group believes it has sufficient liquidity to finance its existing property development and investment projects.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

According to a practice common among banks in China when providing mortgage financing to property buyers, the bank will require a property developer to provide a buy-back guarantee to secure the due performance of borrowers. The Group is currently providing a number of buy-back guarantees to banks that have granted mortgage loans to buyers of office space and residential units in Hong Kong Plaza, Phase I of Regents Park and Phases I to IV of Eastern Place. The Group’s contingent liabilities under these obligations have been gradually relinquished along with the settlement of the mortgage loans granted by the bank to the end-buyers.

EMPLOYEES AND REMUNERATION POLICIES

As at 31 July 2008, the Group employed a total of around 1,000 staff. The Group recognises the importance of maintaining a stable staff force in its continued success. Under the Group’s existing policies, employee pay rates are maintained at competitive levels, whilst promotion and salary increments are assessed on a performance-related basis. Discretionary bonuses are granted to certain employees on a merit basis and in accordance with industry practice. Other staff benefits include share option scheme, mandatory provident fund, free hospitalisation insurance plan, subsidised medical care and subsidies for external education and training programmes.

PROSPECTS

In order to cope with the risks and uncertainties associated with the current economic environment, the Group will continue its prudent approach in acquisition strategy and in managing our business in China. In the next few months, we will focus on the sale of Regents Park Phase II in Shanghai and pre-sale of West Point in Guangzhou. We will closely monitor the market condition and adjust our marketing strategy accordingly.

— 150 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

The Group will also focus on the construction progress of our existing projects and the renovation work of Hong Kong Plaza. Initial discussions have already been commenced with potential tenants for Hong Kong Plaza. Marketing programme is expected to commence soon for the retail podium in West Point.

The Group is cautiously optimistic in China’s real estate market in the medium to long term.

The increase in profit from operating activities and profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was mainly attributable to higher turnover, higher revaluation gain on investment properties of the Group and in associated companies, and write back of provision on deferred corporate income tax as a result of adjustment in the corporate income tax rate in the Mainland of China (“China”).

MARKET OVERVIEW AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

The Group is principally engaged in property development for sale and property investment for rental purposes in China. The Group currently has property projects in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Zhongshan.

— 153 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

China’s economy continued its rapid growth and achieved a GDP growth of 10.7% in 2006 and is broadly expected to achieve GDP growth of around 10% in 2007. The resilient economic growth, stable increase in average income per capita and the expectation of Renminbi appreciation would support the growth of urban property market in China.

In the past two years, the central and local governments of China strengthened control over the property sector. These measures are expected to (i) tighten property financing, impose stringent land management controls, stabilise property prices, rationalise property supply structure and tighten credit supply; (ii) reinforce tax management, in particular, the central government announced the measures to strictly enforce the collection and settlement of land appreciation tax; and (iii) regulate and tighten the approval of foreign investment in real estate sector in China.

The Group believes that these measures are aimed at curbing speculation, stabilising property prices and rationalising the property market, which will not restrict the long term development of the property sector in China.

Despite a new series of macroeconomic control measures in China, continuous economic growth and robust end-user demand continue to lend support to quality development projects in Shanghai and Guangzhou.

— 159 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

As at 31 July 2007, the Group had total borrowings in the amount of HK$2,746 million (2006: HK$1,056 million), representing an increase of HK$1,690 million from that as at the preceding financial year end, mainly as a result of the issue of US$200,000,000 Senior Notes.

The total debt to equity ratio was 46% (2006: 20%) and the total debt to total capitalisation (long-term debt + equity) ratio was 35% (2006: 17%).

Apart from the Senior Notes, the Group’s other borrowings of HK$1,233 million were 35% denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”), 15% in Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) and 50% in United States dollars (“USD”).

In order to match its USD exposure on the Senior Notes with its revenue, which are mainly denominated in RMB, the Group has hedged its USD exposure on the Senior Notes into RMB. Apart from this hedge, the Group does not hedge its other exposures in RMB and USD.

The maturity profile of the Group’s bank borrowings as at 31 July 2007 was spread over a period of 9 years, with approximately 88% repayable within one year, 11% repayable between two to five years and 1% repayable over five years.

— 160 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

Taking into account cash held as at the balance sheet date, available banking facilities, loan refinancing and the recurring cashflow from the Group’s operating activities, the Group believes it has sufficient liquidity to finance its existing property developments and investment projects.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

According to a common practice among banks in China when providing mortgage financing to property buyers, the bank will require property developer to provide a buy-back guarantee to secure the due performance of borrowers. The Group is currently providing a number of buy-back guarantees to banks that have granted mortgage loans to buyers of office space and residential units in Shanghai Hong Kong Plaza, Phase I of Shanghai Regents Park, and Phases I to IV of Guangzhou Eastern Place. The Group’s contingent liabilities under these obligations have been gradually relinquished along with the settlement of the mortgage loans granted by the bank to the end-buyers. As China’s property market is currently stable, the management does not expect such contingent liabilities to crystallise to a material extent in the near term.

— 161 — APPENDIX III MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSES ON THE GROUP AND THE LAI FUNG GROUP

For our development properties, the Group will accelerate its development schedule whenever possible and to increase its completion volume in the next few years. Apart from the recent acquisitions of three new sites in Guangzhou and additional interest in Shanghai Northgate Plazas I and II, the Group is also looking into investment opportunities in other key cities.

For our investment properties, given the tremendous potential in rental rates in Shanghai and Guangzhou due to strong consumer spending and office demand, the Group will strive to improve the rental income through major renovations and improvement in tenant mix.

The Directors eSun Holdings Limited Lai Sun Garment (International) Limited 11th Floor Lai Sun Commercial Centre 680 Cheung Sha Wan Road Kowloon Hong Kong

30 August 2010

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with your instructions for us to value various property interests held by eSun Holdings Limited (hereinafter known as “eSun”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together known as the “eSun Group”) in Hong Kong and Macau, we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market values of these property interests as at 31 May 2010 (the “Date of Valuation”) for public circular purpose.

— 163 — APPENDIX IV PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT IN RELATION TO THE LANDED PROPERTY INTERESTS OF THE GROUP

Our valuation of each of the property interests is our opinion of its market value which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which a Property should exchange on the Date of Valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

The market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, joint ventures, management agreements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value. The market value of a property is also estimated without regard to costs of sale and purchase, and without offset for any associated taxes.

Our valuation is prepared in accordance with The HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (1st Edition 2005) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and in compliance with the requirements of Chapter 5 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities published by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

In arriving at our opinion of values, we have valued all the property interests by making reference to sales evidence as available on the market assuming that vacant possession of the properties would be readily available upon completion of a sale. In respect of Group IV property interest in Macau, we have valued the property interest on the basis that it will be developed in accordance with the basic terms as stated in the letter from DSSOPT dated 22 November 2006. We have assumed that all necessary approvals for the proposal have been obtained from the relevant government authorities without onerous conditions or restrictions. In arriving at our opinion of value, we have adopted the direct comparison method by making reference to the comparable transactions as available in the market and have taken into account the construction costs that will be expended to complete the proposed development to reflect the intended quality of the project.

— 164 — APPENDIX IV PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT IN RELATION TO THE LANDED PROPERTY INTERESTS OF THE GROUP

We have not been provided with any title documents relating to the property interests but we have caused searches to be made at the Land Registry of Hong Kong for Groups I and II properties and Conservatória do Registo Predial of Macau for Groups III and IV properties. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain the existence of any subsequent amendments which do not appear on the copies obtained from the Land Registry of Hong Kong and Conservatória do Registo Predial of Macau. We do not accept a liability for any interpretation which we have placed on such information which is more properly the sphere of your legal advisers.

In valuing the Groups III and IV property interests in Macau, we have assumed that the owners of the property interests have free and uninterrupted rights to use and assign the property interest during the whole of the respective unexpired terms granted. Upon the expiration of the term, the Government Lease can be renewed upon application for another 10 years upon payment of a fixed premium equivalent to 10 times the prevailing Government rent provided that the grantee has (a) compiled with the Government Lease and (b) settled the annual Government Rent. The term of the grant can be renewed until 19 December 2049.

We have relied to a very considerable extent on information given by the eSun Group. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the eSun Group which is material to the valuation and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, particulars of occupancy, development proposal, site and floor areas and all other relevant matters. We have not verified the truth and accuracy of the information and we have relied on the eSun Group’s confirmation that no material facts have been omitted from the information so supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on information contained in the documents and leases provided to us and are therefore only approximations.

— 165 — APPENDIX IV PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT IN RELATION TO THE LANDED PROPERTY INTERESTS OF THE GROUP

We have inspected the exterior of the properties in Groups I, II, III and IV, where possible, we have also inspected the interior of the premises. However, no structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are not, however, able to report that the properties are free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services. For Group IV property, we have not carried out investigations on site to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and services etc for the proposed development. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during construction period. We have not carried out on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the site area of the property in Group IV and we have assumed that the site area shown on the documents handed to us is correct.

No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on any properties. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that all property interests are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values.

Unless otherwise stated, all money amounts stated herein are in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”). The exchange rate adopted in this report is HK$1 to MOP1.03 which is prevailing as of the Date of Valuation.

(4) According to a letter dated 22 November 2006 from DSSOPT of the Macau Government offering basic terms in respect of the lease modification for the property, the proposed development was permitted by the said lease modification, subject to payment of premium to the Macau Government. The offer was accepted and applicable premium paid, although the modification was not formally gazetted, in light of the further application discussed in note 5 below. The development and uses of the property are stated in the 22 November 2006 letter as follows:

Site Area : 130,789 sq m

Uses : A complex development comprising a block of a 5-star hotel, a block of 3-star apartment-like hotels, a studio city (film production facility) and a tourist entertainment with ancillary facilities

— 175 — APPENDIX IV PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT IN RELATION TO THE LANDED PROPERTY INTERESTS OF THE GROUP

(5) According to information provided by eSun, in March 2007, a new application was made for a land grant modification involving an increase in the approved gross floor area to 560,000 sq m (approximately 6,027,840 sq ft), in respect of which the Macau Government ultimately issued, in September 2008, an indicative offer of modification indicating that it would be prepared to permit construction of a development of 560,000 sq m. The indicative offer was accepted in October 2008, but the modification has yet to be the subject of a formal offer, capable of being accepted and in due course gazetted. In January 2009, the Macau Government wrote to the property owner requesting further information concerning the wider project development, a request to which, according to eSun, no substantive response has, to date, been given, although eSun’s subsidiary and its joint venture partner made separate submissions in May 2010 in response to the Macau Government. In October 2009, a subsidiary of eSun commenced litigation against its joint venture partner, New Cotai, LLC and other persons under various grounds, including causing obstruction and delay in the property owner’s land grant modification application. In light of these matters, and the inherent uncertainties associated with the litigation in particular, we consider that the 22 November 2006 letter from the Macau Government referred to in note 4 above is the more appropriate and prudent basis for a valuation of the property.

(6) According to the information provided by eSun, a total construction cost of HK$577,000,000 has been incurred for the foundation work and related expenses of the property as at the Date of Valuation.

(7) In the course of our valuation, we assumed that the proposed development of the property has complied with the existing Government lease and any amendments thereof as well as all other statutory requirements and all the premium (if any) have been duly paid to Macau Government.

— 177 — APPENDIX V PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT IN RELATION TO THE LANDED PROPERTY INTERESTS OF THE LAI FUNG GROUP

BASIS OF VALUATION

Our valuation is our opinion of the market value of the properties which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.”

The market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value. The market value of a property is also estimated without regard to costs of sale and purchase, and without offset for any associated taxes.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

In forming our opinion of the values of the property interests in Group I which are held by the Lai Fung Group in the PRC for investment purpose, we have valued the properties by reference to sales evidence as available on the market, and where appropriate, on the basis of capitalisation of the rental incomes as shown on the documents handed to us by the Lai Fung Group. We have allowed for outgoings, and where appropriate, made provisions for reversionary income potential.

We have valued the property interests in Groups II and IV which are held by the Lai Fung Group in the PRC for sale purpose and held by the Lai Fung Group in Hong Kong for owner occupation purpose respectively by using “Direct Comparison Approach” whenever market comparable transactions are available and assumed sale of property interests with the benefit of vacant possession.

In valuing the property interests in Group III which are held under development by the Lai Fung Group in the PRC, we have valued the property interests on the basis that the properties will be developed and completed in accordance with the Lai Fung Group’s latest development proposals provided to us. We have assumed that approvals for the proposals have been obtained without any onerous condition which would affect the values of the property interests. In arriving at our opinion of values, we have made reference to comparable transactions in the locality and also taken into account the construction costs that will be expended to reflect the quality of the completed developments.

— 178 — APPENDIX V PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT IN RELATION TO THE LANDED PROPERTY INTERESTS OF THE LAI FUNG GROUP

TITLE DOCUMENTS AND ENCUMBRANCES

We have caused search to be made at the Land Registry for the Hong Kong property valued and have been provided with extracts of title documents in respect of the property interests in the PRC. However, we have not inspected the original documents to ascertain any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. In the course of our valuation, we have relied on the information given by the Lai Fung Group and the legal opinions both dated 26 August 2010 of the PRC legal advisers of eSun Holdings Limited and Lai Sun Garment (International) Limited, Commerce and Finance Law Offices and 上 海錦天城律師事務所 (AllBright Law Offices), regarding the title and other legal matters relating to the properties in the PRC.

No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property interests nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in affecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values.

SOURCE OF INFORMATION

We have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Lai Fung Group. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Lai Fung Group which is material to the valuation. We have accepted advice given by the Lai Fung Group on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, completion date of buildings, particulars of occupancy, tenancy summaries, joint- venture agreements, development schemes, construction costs, sites and floor areas. Dimension, measurements and areas included in the valuation report attached are based on information provided to us and are therefore only approximations. We have not been able to carry out on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the site and floor areas of the properties and we have assumed that the site and the floor areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. We were also advised by the Lai Fung Group that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided.

Our valuations are prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory.

The Directors eSun Holdings Limited Lai Sun Garment (International) Limited 11th Floor Lai Sun Commercial Centre 680 Cheung Sha Wan Road Kowloon Hong Kong

30 August 2010

Dear Sirs,

RE: VALUATION OF VARIOUS PROPERTY INTERESTS IN HONG KONG AND VIETNAM

In accordance with your instructions for us to value various property interests held by Lai Sun Development Company Limited (hereinafter known as “LSD”) and its subsidiaries, associate companies and investee companies (hereinafter together known as the “LSD Group”) located in Hong Kong and Vietnam, we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant searches and enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the values of these property interests as at 31 May 2010 (the “Date of Valuation”) for public circular purposes.

— 238 — APPENDIX VI PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT IN RELATION TO THE LANDED PROPERTY INTERESTS OF THE LSD GROUP

Our valuation is our opinion of the market values of each of the properties concerned which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

The market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, joint ventures, management agreements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value. The market value of a property interest is also estimated without regard to costs of sale and purchase, and without offset for any associated taxes.

Our valuation is prepared in accordance with The HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (1st Edition 2005) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and in compliance with the requirements of Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities published by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

In respect of the properties in Groups I, II, VI and VII which are held by the LSD Group for investment, sale or owner operation, we have valued the property interests by making reference to sales evidence as available in the market and where appropriate on the basis of capitalization of the net rental income shown on schedules handed to us. We have allowed for outgoings and in appropriate cases made provisions for reversionary income potential. The properties in Group V which are for owner occupation have been valued by making reference to sales evidence as available in the market assuming sale with vacant possession.

We have valued the properties in Group III, which are held by the LSD Group for development, by making reference to sales evidence as available in the market.

In undertaking our valuation of the properties in Group IV which are held under development, we have made reference to sales evidence as available in the market and have taken into account the construction costs that will be expended to complete the proposed developments.

— 239 — APPENDIX VI PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT IN RELATION TO THE LANDED PROPERTY INTERESTS OF THE LSD GROUP

We have not been provided with any title documents relating to the properties in Hong Kong but we have caused searches to be made at the Land Registry. We have not, however, searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain the existence of any amendment which does not appear on the copies obtained by us. We do not accept a liability for any interpretation which we have placed on such information which is more properly the sphere of your legal advisers. In respect of the property interest in Vietnam in Group VII, we have relied on the information given by the LSD Group and its Vietnam legal advisor, Hogan Lovells International LLP, regarding the titles to the property.

We have relied to a very considerable extent on information given by the LSD Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, letting, site and floor areas, development proposals, development costs and all other relevant matters. We have not verified the truth and accuracy of the information and have relied on the LSD Group’s confirmation that no material facts have been omitted from the information so supplied. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on information contained in the documents and leases provided to us and are therefore only approximations.

We have inspected the exterior of the properties valued and, where possible, we have also inspected the interior of the premises. However, no structural survey has been made but, in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defect. We are not, however, able to report that the properties are free from rot, infestation or any other structural defect. No tests were carried out to any of the services. For the properties in Groups III and IV, we have not carried out investigations on site to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and services etc for the future or proposed developments. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during construction periods. In addition, we have not carried out on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the site areas and have assumed that the site areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct.

No allowance has been made in our report for any charge, mortgage or amount owing on any of the properties. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions, and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values.

Unless otherwise stated, all money amounts stated herein are in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”). The exchange rate adopted for conversion is US$1 to HK$7.80.

— 283 — APPENDIX VII GENERAL INFORMATION

Save as disclosed above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the directors or chief executive of the Company was aware of any other persons, who had an interest or short position in the shares or underlying shares of equity derivatives and debentures of the Company which would fall to be disclosed to the Company under the provisions of Divisions 2 and 3 of Part XV of the SFO, or who was, directly or indirectly, interested in 10% or more of the nominal value of any class of share capital (including any options in respect of such capital) carrying rights to vote in all circumstances at general meetings of any other member of the Group.

3. DIRECTORS’ INTERESTS

(a) Service Contracts

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors had any existing or proposed service contract with any member of the Group which was not expiring or determinable by the employer within one year without payment of compensation, other than statutory compensation.

— 284 — APPENDIX VII GENERAL INFORMATION

5. LITIGATIONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save as disclosed below, no member of Group was engaged in any litigation or claims of material importance known to the Directors to be pending or threatened against any member of the Group.

(a) Litigation with Passport

In December 2008, the Company had sought to raise approximately HK$60 million through a share placement exercise (with the prospect of raising an additional HK$60 million if the placees exercised the accompanying warrants in full). The placing shares would have represented approximately 8.82% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company (and the shares issued on the full exercise of the warrants would have represented approximately 8.10% of the further enlarged issued share capital of the Company). The placing, which was primarily intended to finance the Group’s media and entertainment businesses and otherwise for general working capital purposes, did not ultimately proceed in light of the fact that Passport Special Opportunities Master Fund, LP and Passport Global Master Fund SPC Limited (“Passport”), who was then a substantial shareholder of the Company, obtained an ex- parte injunction temporarily restraining the Company from proceeding with the placing (Passport and its affiliates disposed their entire shareholdings in the Company on 30 April 2010). Although the long-stop date for the placing was extended once, with the injunction order remaining in place and the conditions to the placing remaining unfulfilled, the placing agreement lapsed on 9 January 2009.

In essence, Passport alleges that the Company had no good commercial reason for the placement and that its sole or primary purpose was to dilute Passport’s shareholding. Whether or not the injunction was validly obtained by Passport remains the subject of on-going legal proceedings in respect of which the Company and the Directors are vigorously defending Passport’s claims, and are pursuing their own remedies against Passport. The Court granted leave to the placing agent and certain of the placees to join the legal proceedings, as parties who were adversely affected by Passport injunction. The Court required Passport to put up a bank guarantee in the sum of HK$120 million to fortify its undertaking as to damages. Passport also put up security for the Company’s costs. The trial commenced in November 2009 and concluded in January 2010. The judge reserved his decision after the conclusion of the trial and it is expected judgement will be handed down in the fourth quarter of 2010.

— 285 — APPENDIX VII GENERAL INFORMATION

(b) Litigation with New Cotai

The Group holds an effective 40% economic interest in Cyber One Agents Limited (“Cyber One”). Cyber One, owned as to 60% by East Asia Satellite Television (Holdings) Limited (“EAST (Holdings)”) and 40% by New Cotai, LLC (“New Cotai”), is the jointly-controlled entity responsible for the proposed development of the Macao Studio City project, which has, in effect, stalled on account of a dispute between the parties, including as regards the submission to the Macau government of further particulars in relation to Cyber One’s application to increase the developable gross floor area of the site from the original gazetted area to approximately 6,000,000 square feet. In connection with that application, the Macau government requested, and has repeated its request for, further particulars from the joint venture concerning plans for the project, in respect of which EAST (Holdings) and New Cotai have yet to formulate an agreed response.

On 29 October 2009, EAST (Holdings) commenced legal proceedings in Hong Kong against New Cotai and parties interested in that company (“New Cotai Parties”). Amongst other things, EAST (Holdings) is claiming damages of approximately HK$689 million for breach or inducing breaches of contract and, by way of derivative action on behalf of members of the Cyber One group, damages of approximately US$2.385 billion (approximately HK$18.6 billion) for, amongst other things, breaches of fiduciary duties and dishonestly assisting breaches of fiduciary duties owed to such members of the Cyber One group. EAST (Holdings) is also seeking orders requiring New Cotai to transfer its interests in the Cyber One group to EAST (Holdings). The proceedings are being pursued in the context of a desire on the part of the Company to protect EAST (Holdings)’s interests in the development and to progress the Macao Studio City project.

The New Cotai Parties made several interlocutory applications to the Court to challenge certain of these claims. By the Court’s judgment dated 16 July 2010, it has struck out certain claims, including the derivative claims by eSun made on behalf of members of the Cyber One group. The aforesaid judgment, if not overturned on appeal, would have the effect of preventing EAST (Holdings) from proceeding with the derivative claims in Hong Kong. However, EAST (Holdings) may consider proceeding with the derivative

— 286 — APPENDIX VII GENERAL INFORMATION

claims in the jurisdictions of incorporation of the relevant members of the Cyber One group. EAST (Holdings) might also procure the relevant members of the Cyber One group to proceed with the claims in Hong Kong directly in the event EAST (Holdings) was successful in securing control of the Cyber One group through the litigation. On 30 July 2010, EAST (Holdings) obtained leave to appeal the aforesaid judgment and will pursue the appeal vigorously. It is noted that no challenge was made in these applications with regard to the claim for damages of approximately HK$689 million for breach of contract by the New Cotai Parties.

With the litigation continuing, it should be noted that its timing and outcome remain inherently uncertain. It appears that it will continue to be contested by New Cotai and others and may yet prompt claims or counterclaims against EAST (Holdings) or others, although the Directors do not believe that any such claims or counterclaims are likely to have merit. The Directors have given due consideration to these risks and have chosen to accept those risks, because they consider that EAST (Holdings)’s core claims are well-founded and the litigation is necessary in order to protect the interest of all of the Company’s shareholders and, ultimately, to preserve the potential of the Macao Studio City project. Further, in the event of prolonged delays to the recommencement of the project, it is uncertain as to whether and how the Macau government would exercise its rights, including but not limited to its rights to re-possess the plot of land.

The following contracts (not being contracts in the ordinary course of business) have been entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries within the two years immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date and are or may be material:
