CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
I am pleased to present the results of London Asia Chinese Private Equity
Fund Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiary (together the "Group") for
the year ended 31 March 2008.
The Group has maintained its objective over the year of providing
shareholders with capital growth from investing in a portfolio of companies
whose business operations are based in China.
Results
Despite a very difficult business environment, your Group made solid progress
during the year. The Group achieved a net profit for the year ended 31 March
2008 of �5.1 million, representing earnings per Ordinary Share of 10.28
pence. The net asset value at 31 March 2008 was �71.7 million (2007: �66.5
million), equal to 143.32 pence per Ordinary Share, an increase both over the
30 September 2007 net asset value of 136.71 pence and the 31 March 2007 net
asset value of 133.05 pence.
During the year the Group realised its entire holding in two investments and
part of a third for �3.3 million at a very satisfactory profit of �1.7 millio

INVESTMENT CONSULTANT'S REPORT
Overview
This is the Group's second set of audited accounts since it was launched in
March 2006. Since we reported last year, the Chinese stock market has fallen
over 50%, partly a reflection of the over exuberance and massive liquidity
seen in the earlier part of 2007, and partly a reflection of the impact on
asset values of the credit crunch and slow down of the global economy. I am
pleased to report that despite this very difficult background, the Group's
investment portfolio (excluding investment transactions completed during the
year) showed an 11% increase in value for the year to 31 March 2008, with the
portfolio valued at the year end at 63% over original cost.
We have not made any investments since June 2007. We have focused our efforts
on realising our investments and raising additional funds for our portfolio
companies to enable them to continue their development, with five of the
thirteen investments having raised significant funding post our investment in
them.
