MANAGEMENT REPORT

Extracts from the Chairman's Statement

Asian markets have once again performed strongly compared to those in the West and your Company's net asset value has improved significantly over the year. Your Board has also been able to increase the dividend without recourse to reserves and remains confident about the income and growth prospects for the Company in the year ahead.

Performance

In the year under review the net asset value total return was 19.5%, up from 5.3% the previous year, in part through the strength of the Asian currencies against sterling in the period, and the share price total return was 15.7%. The FTSE All-World Asia Pacific ex Japan Index returned 22.8% for the same period. Revenue earnings increased by 11.6% from 13.76p per share to 15.35p.

Dividends

A fourth interim dividend of 3.60p per share has been declared making a total of 13.60p for the year, an increase of 9.7% on last year. Revenue after tax was significantly higher than in the previous year and so there was no recourse to the revenue reserve. Your Board remains confident that it will be able at least to maintain the level of total dividend in the coming year.

Capital and gearing

As reported at the half year, the Company allotted 6,462,943 shares in an institutional placing last December at a premium to net asset value of 2%, and subsequently applied for a new blocklisting of 9,150,555 shares. Aside from the placing the Company issued 6,760,000 shares in the year under review and a further 1,475,000 since the year end, all at a premium of not less than 2%. The Board will continue to issue shares which will result in a NAV enhancement for shareholders.

The Board maintains a cautious view on borrowings and has not entered into any formal loan arrangements.

MANAGEMENT REPORT (continued)

Extracts from the Chairman's Statement (continued)

Board visit to the region

In July the Board took a five day due diligence and fact finding trip to China and Singapore. In China we visited Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. It is difficult to understand the transformation of China that has taken place in such a short time. We visited a broad section of industry and commerce including an informative meeting with the Bank Regulator. Overall we were impressed by the professionalism and quality of those we met together with their determination to succeed. The scale and speed of infrastructure spending is unprecedented in the history of the world and is laying the foundation of an economy which in time may well emerge as the world's largest economy. That is in the future but the building blocks are now being put in place.

Outlook

Asian markets have benefited from lower interest rates and surplus liquidity, factors which have proved to be more important than global economic growth in delivering returns to investors. We believe that dividend growth in the region will exceed that of the West which will have a positive impact on our dividend policy. However, markets will remain volatile as they need more certainty that the global economic recovery is sustainable for that volatility to disappear. Certainly, Asian markets will continue to be an attractive proposition in the medium term.

Annual General Meeting

The Company's AGM will be held at 12 noon on Friday 17 December 2010 at Liberté House, 19-23 La Motte Street, St Helier, Jersey JE2 4SY. As usual an open presentation to shareholders will be held at 11.00am on Monday 20 December 2010 at Henderson's offices in London.

MANAGEMENT REPORT (continued)

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The Board has drawn up a matrix of risks facing the Company and has put in place a schedule of investment limits and restrictions appropriate to the Company's investment objective and policy, in order to mitigate risks as far as practicable. The principal risks which have been identified and the steps taken by the Board to mitigate these are as follows:

• Investment and Strategy

An inappropriate investment strategy, for example, in terms of asset allocation or level of gearing, may result in under performance against the companies in the peer group, and also in the Company's shares trading on a wider discount. The Board manages these risks by ensuring a diversification of investments and a regular review of the extent of borrowings. The Portfolio Manager operates in accordance with an investment limits and restrictions policy determined by the Board, which includes limits on the extent to which borrowings may be employed. The Board reviews the limits and restrictions on a regular basis and the Manager confirms adherence to them every month. The Manager provides the Board with management information, including performance data and reports and shareholder analyses. The Directors monitor the implementation and results of the investment process with the Portfolio Manager at each Board meeting and monitor risk factors in respect of the portfolio. Investment strategy is reviewed at each meeting.

• Market

Market risk arises from uncertainty about the future prices of the Company's investments. This is commented on in the Annual Report.

• Accounting, legal and regulatory

The Company must comply with the provisions of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 and since its shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange, the UKLA's Listing and Disclosure Rules. The Company must also ensure compliance with the listing rules of the New Zealand Stock Exchange. A breach of company law could result in the Company and/or the Directors being fined or the subject of criminal proceedings and financial and reputational damage. A breach of the UKLA Rules could result in the suspension of the Company's shares. The Board relies on its Company Secretary and advisers to ensure adherence to company law and UKLA and New Zealand Stock Exchange Rules.

• Operational

Disruption to, or the failure of, the Manager's or the Administrator's accounting, dealing, or payment systems or the Custodian's records could prevent the accurate reporting or monitoring of the Company's financial position. The Administrator, BNP Paribas Securities Services Fund Administration Limited sub-contracts some of the operational functions (principally relating to trade processing, investment administration and accounting) to BNP Paribas Securities Services. Details of how the Board monitors the services provided by the Manager and other suppliers, and the key elements designed to provide effective internal control, are explained further in the internal control section of the Annual Report.

• Financial

The financial risks faced by the Company include market risk (market price risk, interest rate risk and currency risk), liquidity risk and credit risk. Further details are disclosed in the Annual Report. Additional disclosures are provided in accordance with IFRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

Related Party Transactions

The contract with Henderson is the only related party arrangement currently in place. Other than fees payable in the ordinary course of business, there have been no material transactions with this related party which have affected the financial position or performance of the Company in the financial year.
