INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT INCORPORATING THE CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Chairman's Statement
Performance and prospects
The six months to the end of October 2009 contrasted sharply with the preceding
period, as economies and equity markets across Asia staged a strong rebound.
Asian authorities' success in halting the decline in economic growth and the
subsequent improvements in activity proved the catalysts for risk appetite to
return to financial markets. This was further supported by corporate earnings
that were more resilient than expected, as companies' efforts to cut costs
protected profits. The speed of the recovery was such that the focus of markets
had shifted significantly by the end of the period to the question of when
supportive policies might be withdrawn. With Asian economies demonstrating
their increasing importance to global economic growth, equity markets in the
region ended significantly higher. Over the period, the diluted net asset value
per ordinary share (total return) rose by 30.2%, compared to the benchmark
index, the MSCI All Countries Asia Pacific ex-Japan Index adjusted for
sterling, which added 27.2%. The Company's share price increased from 94.5p to
122.75p, while the discount to net asset value at which the shares trade fell
to 8.7%, from 8.8% at the beginning of the period.
Dividend
As in previous years, no interim dividend is being declared.
Subscription Shares
On 12 August 2009 a total of 18,767,485 Subscription Shares were allotted to
Shareholders on the register on 11 August 2009, on the basis of one
Subscription Share for every five Ordinary Shares held as at that date.
Outlook
Asian economies, led by China, are ending 2009 in much better shape than they
began the year. While the turnaround has been impressive, an element of
uncertainty remains. Much of this relates to ongoing recovery in developed
economies as external export demand is still a large component of Asian
economic activity, despite the increasing encouragement of domestic sources of
demand. The commitment to supporting economic expansion shown by governments
and central banks globally provides an argument in favour of cautious optimism
and Asia's stronger growth profile underlines the region's long-term investment
case.
Without the constraints of excessive leverage and financial sector
rehabilitation, which are likely to weigh on Western economies for some time,
the long-term outlook for Asia remains positive. The importance of rebalancing
Asian economies has been highlighted by the global recession and meaningful
progress towards this long-term objective is being made. In the meantime,
gradual recovery in the global economy and Asia's own internally-generated
growth suggest an encouraging outlook for the region.

Investment Management Report
Market and Economic Review
Improving economic data across Asia helped equity markets to post strong gains
during the period. Historically low interest rates and large-scale fiscal
stimuli also provided a supportive backdrop. Investor risk appetite was further
enhanced by generally stronger than expected corporate earnings. Despite an
element of profit taking and concerns about potential tightening towards the
end of the period under review, the majority of regional equity markets closed
significantly higher.
The improvement in Asian economic performance was most evident in China, which
maintained its strong rebound from the first quarter's trough. The Chinese
economy expanded by 8.9% year-on-year in the three months to the end of
October, as stimulus spending, ongoing recovery in exports and rising domestic
consumption combined to boost activity. Economic growth in Hong Kong, Korea and
Indonesia all beat expectations and helped equity markets to maintain their
positive momentum. Against the more stable economic background, the IMF revised
its forecasts for Asian economic growth upwards, predicting expansion of 2.8%
and 5.8% in 2009 and 2010 respectively, from previous expectations of 1.2% and
4.3% growth.
Political developments were also supportive of equity markets, with the
decisive re-election of the incumbent United Progressive Alliance in India
sparking a sharp rally in Indian stocks. Policies to improve cross-straits
economic co-operation were positive for equities in Taiwan, which rose on hopes
of greater investment from mainland China. Positive corporate earnings were
also key to the rise in stock prices as second quarter results were generally
ahead of market forecasts. `Heavyweight' names including Taiwan Semiconductor
and Samsung Electronics delivered robust performances, as reduced costs and
improving demand were the catalysts for rising profits. Chinese banks also
performed strongly, with China Construction Bank and Industrial and Commercial
Bank of China among those to beat expectations as exceptional loan growth
boosted earnings. Renewed strength in the Hong Kong real estate market saw
Cheung Kong announce an improvement in net income that comfortably exceeded
market forecasts.
Company performance
Over the period, the Company's performance was robust, gaining 30.2% (NAV
diluted, total return £), which was a stronger return than that of the
benchmark MSCI All Countries Asia Pacific ex-Japan Index, which added 27.2%
(total return, £). An overweight position in the insurance sector benefited
Company returns, with the holding in China Taiping Insurance among the best
performing stocks during the period. The overweight position and stock
selection in the commercial services sector also contributed positively to
performance. Downer EDI was particularly strong, gaining 90% during the period.
This followed news of improved earnings and a dividend increase, together with
a positive outlook statement based on opportunities for the group's
infrastructure and renewable energy businesses. Being underweight in the
commercial banks sector detracted from returns as the sector outperformed the
wider market. Overweight positions in semiconductors and tobacco also had a
negative impact, as relative returns disappointed during the period.
Outlook for Asian economies and markets
Asian economies have recovered quickly from the global recession, and although
progress is likely to be uneven in the coming months we anticipate that levels
of activity will continue to strengthen. The region appears well placed to
benefit from an improvement in global trade conditions. Export data is likely
to pick up as year-on-year comparisons become less demanding and re-stocking in
developed markets should add impetus to Asia's recovery.
Despite pockets of inflation in some areas, there appears little overall threat
from rising prices and, with the economic recovery still in its early stages,
we believe authorities will maintain their accommodative policy bias. We also
anticipate that domestic sources of demand will remain integral to both Asia's
recovery and its future growth as rising prosperity boosts demand. Asia's
banking system, with conservative loan to deposit ratios, also provides Asian
businesses with the ability to access capital, further supporting the growth
outlook.
Asian businesses have been quick to undertake aggressive cost cutting and this
has allowed them to limit declines in profits, even in an environment of weak
sales growth. As a result, the decline in earnings experienced so far in 2009
has been considerably less than was originally expected. With demand conditions
picking up, we believe that there is scope for significant improvement in
corporate earnings in 2010. While valuations are around their long-term
averages, we believe the positive earnings outlook is supportive of prices at
current levels and we continue to hold a positive view on the long-term
prospects for Asian equities.
Consumer demand is an important theme, as we believe that high levels of
savings and increasing prosperity, particularly in China and India, are likely
to result in high and sustainable levels of growth in the consumer sector. We
currently favour businesses that focus on staple goods, such as household
products, food and beverages, as we believe these areas offer reliable earnings
growth that is currently undervalued by the market. We are positive on the real
estate sector, particularly in Hong Kong, where demand is being supported by
low interest rates and an improving economy. Insurance is also an area where we
see attractive long-term potential. The Chinese insurance market is in the
early stages of development and as the process of urbanisation continues we
believe the sector can achieve attractive levels of growth. The Company remains
underweight in traditionally defensive sectors, such as utilities,
pharmaceuticals and telecommunications, as we believe that valuations are
generally high. Representation in globally-orientated cyclical sectors, such as
materials and energy, is also lower than that of the benchmark, as we believe
that they have already discounted an improved earnings outlook.
China remains our favoured geographical region as in our view it has the
strongest economic fundamentals. Economic data from China continues to underpin
expectations for further improvement in the final quarter of the year and into
2010, which should help to support sustainable levels of earnings growth. The
Company also has a sizeable position in Korea as we believe that quality Korean
exporters, taking advantage of a low Korean won relative to the Japanese yen,
can benefit from improving levels of demand. The Company is underweight in
Australia, where households are highly leveraged and the banking system has
high loan-to deposit ratios. While the economy has been relatively resilient,
we believe Australia has more significant long-term challenges than other
regional economies and, accordingly, we have a lower weighting than the
benchmark. The Company is also underweight in some of the most export-dependent
countries, such as Singapore and Thailand, as we consider that recovery may not
be as strong as elsewhere.

RELATED PARTY
Invesco Asset Management Limited (`IAML'), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco

Details of IAML's services and fee arrangements are given in the latest annual
financial report, which is available on the Company's website.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The principal risks and uncertainties that could affect the Company's business
can be divided into the following areas:
- Investment Objective;
- Investment Process;
- Market Movement and Portfolio Performance;
- Foreign Exchange Risks;
- The Ordinary Shares;
- Derivatives;
- Gearing; and
- Regulatory and Tax Related.
A detailed explanation of these principal risks and uncertainties can be found
on pages 21 to 23 of the latest published annual financial report which is
available on the Company's website.
In the view of the Board, these principal risks and uncertainties are equally
applicable to the remaining six months of the financial year as they were to
the six months under review.
Additional risks apply to the Subscription Shares which tend to involve a high
degree of gearing, such that a relatively small movement in the price of the
Ordinary Shares is likely to result in a disproportionately large movement in
the price of the Subscription Shares.
