Interim Management Statement

HSBC Infrastructure Company Limited 13 August 2007 HSBC Infrastructure Company Ltd INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT 3 Month Period to 30 June 2007 Trading HSBC Infrastructure Company Limited (the 'Company') has seen its portfolio of 17 infrastructure and PFI investments continue to perform in line with expectations. There are no material operational issues to report which might impact on the valuation of the Company's investments. HSBC Specialist Fund Management Ltd ('HSFML'), in its capacity as Investment Adviser to the Company and Operator of the Company's partnership, is continuing its work to optimise the returns from each investment, in line with the statements made in the Company's report and financial statements for the period to 31 March 2007. The Investment Adviser continues to seek suitable new infrastructure assets to acquire, provided they can be purchased at reasonable prices and meet the Company's Investment Policy, details of which can be found on the Company's website: www.hicl.hsbc.com HSFML Resources The Investment Adviser has recently recruited Keith Pickard to join the team as Portfolio Director in relation to the Company's portfolio. Keith previously worked at John Laing PLC, and his responsibilities will include delivering the refinancing proposed for certain projects in the portfolio and the regular valuations of the portfolio. The team dedicated to advising the Company is now six strong. Valuation of the Portfolio Since the valuation of the portfolio at 31 March 2007, the 20 year Treasury Gilt has risen in rate from 4.7% to 5.3%. This suggests that the discount rates used to value the portfolio should be trending upwards but the Investment Adviser hass yet to see clear evidence that this is happening in the market for these assets, suggesting the risk premium over the Gilt may, for the time being, have reduced further. Financial Calendar The Company intends to announce its interim results for the 6 months to 30 September, including a valuation of the portfolio, on Tuesday 20 November 2007. The planned timetable is: Announcement of interim results Tuesday 20 November 2007 Ex-dividend date Wednesday 28 November 2007 Record date Friday 30 November 2007 Payment date Friday 28 December 2007 For further information please contact: HSBC Specialist Fund Management Limited 020 7991 8888 Tony Roper Sandra Lowe M: Communications 020 7153 1530 Ed Orlebar Tilly von Twickel Notes to Editors HSBC Infrastructure Company Limited The Company is a long term investor in infrastructure projects which are predominantly in their operating phase and yielding steady returns.
