the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average daily market share
price of the Company’s shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding
share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would
have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options.

BUSINESS REVIEW
For the six months ended 30 June 2007, unaudited turnover from the continuing operations
of the Group was approximately HK$395,834,000 (2006: HK$352,036,000); unaudited
interim consolidated profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was approximately
HK$,293,47,000 (2006: HK$,288,560,000), an increase of 0.4% over the same period of last
year. Basic earnings per share from the continuing operations was HK7.20 cents (2006: HK7.9
cents), an increase of 0.% over the same period of last year.
China’s national economy continued to sustain stable growth in the first half of 2007. According
to the statistics of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the number of vehicles
produced and sold nationwide in the first half of 2007 amounted to approximately 4,456,700
units and 4,373,800 units respectively, representing an increase of approximately 22.8% and
23.7% respectively, of which the number of sedans produced and sold amounted to approximately
3,5,400 units and 3,084,00 units respectively, representing an increase of approximately 2.4%
and 22.8% respectively.
For the six months ended 30 June 2007, an aggregate of 37,832 units and 33,67 units of
vehicles were produced and sold respectively by the Group through a jointly controlled entity
(hereinafter the “Sedan Company”) which is directly owned by the Company’s wholly-owned
subsidiary, Guangzhou Auto Group Corporation, representing an increase of approximately 9.%
and 7.8% respectively over the same period of last year.
Despite moderate growth in production and sales under intense market competition, the Sedan
Company continued to be a market leader in the respective vehicle categories. Odyssey ranked
first in nationwide premium multi-purpose vehicles market, while Accord ranked second in the
category of single brand name premium sedans.
Guangzhou Automobile Group Component Co., Ltd. and its investments in other jointly
controlled entities (“Guangzhou Component”), in which the Group holds a 49% equity interest,
contributed a 34.6% growth in the Group’s share of its consolidated profits for the six months
ended 30 June 2007 over the same period of last year, exceeding the target set by its board of
directors earlier this year. Their sound operation, fast development of productivity and economic
– 5 –
growth were based on enhanced planning and control, systematic management and efficient
operation so that they could facilitate a sustainable advantageous development, foster new growth
edges and implement key strategic projects in conducting the business.
Other business operations of the Group comprise the trading of vehicles, manufacturing of
automotive equipment and parts and manufacturing and trading of audio equipment. All the
targets set out in the medium-term plan as formulated by the Group have been achieved.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
According to the forecasts of the People’s Bank of China, the Chinese economy will continue to
enjoy steady and fast growth in the second half of 2007 with an estimated annual GDP growth
of 0.8%, the highest in the past 2 years. We are expecting a full-year growth for nationwide car
sales at around 5% which is over 8.23 million units. With the increasing economic scale and the
reducing cost of importing parts and components benefited from a strong Renminbi, the overall
profitability of the automobile industry will also increase. On the other hand, there will be a
mass launching of new models in the second half of 2007. As a result, it is expected that the price
index for passenger cars in China will keep a declining path and the intense competition in the car
market will continue.
The Sedan Company plans to expand its sales and service network and enhance its after-sales
services in the second half of the year in accordance with the decision of its board of directors.
Efforts will be made to strengthen management, maximize cost reductions and improve product
quality. Meanwhile it will seek to raise its competitive strengths by increasing the degree of
domestic production and dedicating its full effort to complete the full-year target for production
and sales set by its board of directors.
On 9 July 2007, Guangzhou Honda Automobile Research and Development Company Limited
was formally established. It is the first automobile research and development institution in China
that is independently funded by a joint venture enterprise and operated by an independent legal
person. Solely funded by the Sedan Company, it is capable of independently carrying out car
development projects including conceptual design, modeling, trial of assembled vehicles and
testing. With the launch of this research and development branch, the Sedan Company becomes
the first joint venture automobile manufacturer in China announcing its strategy on independent
proprietary brands development. It is also the first to make significant investments in establishing
a research and development institution dedicated to the development of proprietary brands. In
addition, the Sedan Company has obtained the government approval on its in-house production
of engines which can well-equip the Sedan Company for further expansion in its production
capacity in the future.
In the next six months, while continuing the development of the sedan plants, Guangzhou
Component will seek to maintain rapid growth through expansion in production scale, cost
reductions, quality enhancements, increase in the degree of domestic production and management
improvements. Yet it will also keep an eye on any opportunities for new projects.
The Group will continue to identify opportunities for development in the automobile industry and
the Board is confident that the Group is well-positioned to grasp such opportunities for further
development, thereby increasing returns for its shareholders.

an increase of about 9.4% in 2007 compared with that of 2006. The operating profit of this

The turnover of the manufacturing and trading of audio equipment increased by HK$4,7,000
which represented an increase of about 3.6% in 2007, mainly due to an increase of sales orders.
The operating profit of this segment increased by HK$37,000 in 2007, mainly due to effective

of audio equipment was about HK$6,24,000 as at 30 June 2007.
The total borrowings of the Group decreased from about HK$3,935,000 at the end of 2006 to
about HK$6,563,000 at 30 June 2007, mainly due to repayment of the borrowings. The Group
