We do not have a fixed dividend policy.<br />

DIVIDEND POLICY<br />

Our Company may, by ordinary resolution, declare dividends at a general meeting, but it may not pay<br />

dividends in excess of the amount recommended by our Directors. Our Directors may declare an interim<br />

dividend without seeking Shareholders’ approval. On 9 December 2002, we declared an interim dividend<br />

of $6.0 million, which has been paid to the then registered shareholders of our Company. Our Company<br />

shall pay all dividends out of our profits or in accordance with Section 69 of the Companies Act.<br />

Our Directors, intend, subject to the factors stated herein and in the absence of any circumstances which<br />

might reduce the amount of revenue reserve available to pay dividends, to recommend and distribute not<br />

less than 25% of our net profit attributable to Shareholders as dividends for the year ending 31<br />

December 2003 (the “Proposed Dividend”). However, investors should note that all the foregoing<br />

statements, including the statements on the Proposed Dividend, are merely statements of our present<br />

intention and shall not constitute legally binding statements in respect of our future dividends which may<br />

be subject to modification (including reduction or non-declaration thereof) in our Directors’ sole and<br />

absolute discretion. Investors should not treat the Proposed Dividend as an indication of our Group’s<br />

future dividend policy. No inference should or can be made from any of the foregoing statements as to<br />

our actual future profitability or ability to pay dividends in any of the periods discussed.<br />

In making their recommendation for future cash dividends, our Directors will consider, among other<br />

things, our future earnings, operations, capital requirements, cash flow and financial conditions, as well<br />

as maximising shareholders’ value, general business conditions and other factors which they may<br />

consider appropriate.<br />
