10:54 MEILAN AIRPORT<00357> - Announcement (4) 2,076,000 The above historical figures are audited and contained in the relevant annual and interim reports of the Company, which are within the caps prescribed under the Existing Waivers. New Annual Cap The Board has considered and resolved that the following new annual cap be set for the annual volume of the relevant transaction for the period from 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2007: 2007 2005 2006 ("RMB") Catering services by Hainan Food 2,400,000 3,050,000 4,000,000 Basis of the New Annual Cap The proposed cap is determined with reference to the current contractual price. The current contractual price is fixed without reference to the historical figures due to the fact that the customers of Hainan Food decreased substantially in 2004 since some of its major customers have now retained their internal group member instead of Hainan Food to provide the catering service and therefore, the fixed fee of RMB4,380,000 per year for 2002 and 2003 is no longer a realistic estimation of the profits of the relevant business for the future. The new cap set for 2005 is based on estimation of the profits to be generated in 2005, and it is estimated that there will be an increase in the annual franchise fee of the relevant transaction by 30% each year over the preceding year in 2006 and 2007.
