There was not any buffer on top of the figures so calculated. To the best knowledge of the respective boards of directors of HCL and HKBLA, the trades carried out by each of Lippo Cayman, Lippo, LCR and HKBLA and/or their respective subsidiaries under the respective Trading Accounts Agreements are for their own accounts in respect of their short-term and long-term investments. In view of the current improving market conditions, the respective boards of directors of each of Lippo, LCR, HCL and HKBLA believe that more trades may take place in future years and thus, the trades carried on during the financial year ended 31st December, 2004 were not representative of future trades to be undertaken by the respective companies and the Annual Caps were set to cope with any potential increase in trading activities. However, the respective boards of directors of each of Lippo, LCR, HCL and HKBLA emphasize the Annual Caps do not represent forecasted figures for the actual commissions payable or receivable (as the case may be) for the financial years ending 31st December, 2005 and 31st December, 2006.
