About London Asia Capital plc

London Asia is a leading AIM listed merchant banking group focused on the SME
market in Greater China.

London Asia has identified that as a result of the fast growing Chinese economy
and an underdeveloped financial services industry, there is strong demand for
both capital and skilled financial advisory services in China, especially among
small-to-medium sized enterprises.

London Asia operates two principal businesses within Greater China:

*         Investment in profitable businesses with exits via IPO or trade sale;
*         Investment Banking services, mainly corporate finance advisory (fund
          raisings, IPO's and M&A) and fund management

London Asia has a growing list of investments, paid for via a mix of cash and
London Asia shares, focused on distinct industry sectors:

*         Financial Services
*         Media
*         Information technology & communications
*         Infrastructure, energy & natural resources & environment

London Asia has offices and management teams, as well as strong local partners,
across the Greater China region, as well as alliances with a number of Chinese
business parks which gives London Asia access to over 7,000 Chinese businesses.
These provide direct access to investment opportunities, close relationships
with corporate clients, a good level of control over existing investments,
access to local market intelligence as well as providing leverage through a
network of partners. These work in conjunction with our international network in
London, New York, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
