1 Company Update Company Update WWW.EMPERORCAPITAL.COM Steady Project Pipeline Steady project pipeline: As a niche property investor and developer, EIH is now more pro-active to expand. A steady project pipeline lays solid foundation for her growth path including the launch of The Pulse, pre-sales of Upton, pre-lease of 22-24 Russell Street, upgrading of premium retail complex in Macau as well as the development of premi- um houses in Shouson Hill and Tuen Mun. Riding on the completion of those projects, we expect to see solid rental growth and strong cash inflow from property sales from FY16 onwards. FY15 interim results review: Excluding revaluation, EIH’s total seg- ment profit dropped 9% yoy to HK$687mn as there was no property sales and a small drop in gaming revenue during the period. Rental growth remained solid with 10% jump yoy. Dragged by industry slow- down in Macau, EIH’s gaming arm, EEH (296.HK), saw revenue and profit down by 4%and 5% respectively amid strong growth in hotel rev- enue after consolidating the results of Best Western. Interim dividend was HK$0.05 each while the book value per share was up by 3% to HK$7.01. Well-positioned to do more M&As : As at Sep 2014, the gearing ratio (total debt/total assets) of EIH was 32.2% which is relatively conserva- tive. Her book value of property portfolio per share amounts to HK$10.94, a solid asset base on hand that makes banking finance flexible. Considering HK$700m rental and expected sales proceeds from Upton, EIH is well-positioned to do more M&As. Thus, EIH an- nounced recently the acquisitions of an industrial building in Kwai Chung, a commercial centre in Wanchai and a retail and office complex in London with a total consideration of about HK$1.66bn, further boosting her property portfolio and rental income. Stay Overweight: Amid favorable monetary policies in China and the eurozone, we expect HK’s property market, both investment and devel- opment, will remain firm. Meanwhile, the pre-sales of Upton is well received by the market with 60%+ of total units sold. On the back of the steady project pipeline, we expect a 25% increase in EIH’s FY16 rental income, and are upbeat to the company’s long term growth as well. Trading at 80% discount to our NAV of HK$8.61 and 6% yield, EIH remains undervalued. We reiterate Overweight on the stock with target at HK$3.38.

Steady Project Pipeline

Steady project pipeline: As a niche property investor and developer, EIH is now more pro-active to expand. A steady project pipeline lays solid foundation for her growth path including the launch of The Pulse, pre-sales of Upton, pre-lease of 22-24 Russell Street, upgrading of premium retail complex in Macau as well as the development of premi-um houses in Shouson Hill and Tuen Mun. Riding on the completion of those projects, we expect to see solid rental growth and strong cash inflow from property sales from FY16 onwards.

FY15 interim results review: Excluding revaluation, EIH’s total seg-ment profit dropped 9% yoy to HK$687mn as there was no property sales and a small drop in gaming revenue during the period. Rental growth remained solid with 10% jump yoy. Dragged by industry slow-down in Macau, EIH’s gaming arm, EEH (296.HK), saw revenue and profit down by 4%and 5% respectively amid strong growth in hotel rev-enue after consolidating the results of Best Western. Interim dividend was HK$0.05 each while the book value per share was up by 3% to HK$7.01.

Well-positioned to do more M&As : As at Sep 2014, the gearing ratio (total debt/total assets) of EIH was 32.2% which is relatively conserva-tive. Her book value of property portfolio per share amounts to HK$10.94, a solid asset base on hand that makes banking finance flexible. Considering HK$700m rental and expected sales proceeds from Upton, EIH is well-positioned to do more M&As. Thus, EIH an-nounced recently the acquisitions of an industrial building in Kwai Chung, a commercial centre in Wanchai and a retail and office complex in London with a total consideration of about HK$1.66bn, further boosting her property portfolio and rental income.

Stay Overweight: Amid favorable monetary policies in China and the eurozone, we expect HK’s property market, both investment and devel-opment, will remain firm.

On the back of the steady project pipeline, we expect a 25% increase in EIH’s FY16 rental income, and are upbeat to the company’s long term growth as well. Trading at 80% discount to our NAV of HK$8.61 and 6% yield, EIH remains undervalued. We reiterate Overweight on the stock with target at HK$3.38.

Latest Update on The Premium Projects

The Pulse

The Pulse, a 4-storey shopping complex with a GFA of 167k sq. ft. located in Repulse Bay was soft-launched in 1HFY15, and currently sees an encouraging occupancy rate of 85%. 50% of the tenants have already commenced operations in this new development and we expect 70%+/ 90%+ of the lessees to be operational by Dec 14/ Feb 15 respectively given the completions of their installations in the months ahead.

Leveraging on the 800 feet Repulse Bay Beach (see figure 2), The Pulse offers a unique blend of bayside shopping, gourmet dining and a 180 degree panorama sea view to both tourists and residents. The property targets for an image of fresh, fun and family-friendly, and it correspondingly holds a diversified tenant mix which comprises fine-diners, lifestyle merchandisers, playground runners, a gymnasium and a premier superstore (see figure 3). It will soon undergo a series of marketing campaigns to boost public recognition and be further promoted at both online and offline channels (see figure 4). Given the know-how as proven by the successful promotional activities launched in 1HFY15 (see figure 5), we are optimistic on the results of the upcoming marketing campaigns which will lay a foundation for the rise of occupancy rate in the years ahead.

iBeacon, a cost efficient positioning system that interacts with smart phones' applications is incorporated in The Pulse's marketing activities. This allows EIH to efficiently gather information on customer behaviors that would enhance its tenant management and would in turn boost The Pulse's rental growth potential.

22-24 Russell Street

EIH pre-leased its whole block development on 22-24 Russell Street to Italian luxury lingerie maker La Perla in 1HFY15. La Perla, operating 200 boutiques globally will open its global flagship store in this 4-storey building which covers a GFA of 8k sq.ft. in Sep 2015. The building which would be installed with a large LED display would become a new landmark in the area, according to leading real estate service provider Savills.

181-183 Oxford Street, London

EIH has just acquired a freehold 7-storey retail and office complex in London, UK with £35mn (equivalent to HK$425mn) cash. This development which covers a GFA of 12.7k sq. ft. is located on Oxford Street, one of most popular shopping destinations in the metropolis. Given the promising pedestrian traffic in the area, we expect solid rental income from the newly acquired property and see its potential for capital appreciation in the years ahead.

71-75 Avenida do Infante D. Henrique & 514-540 Avenida da Praia

Grande, Macau

In Macau, the construction work at Nos. 71-75 Avenida do Infante D. Henrique & Nos. 514-540 Avenida da Praia Grande is currently underway. A multi-storey premium retail complex with a GFA of 30k sq. ft. is expected to be completed in 2015.

Upton; Tuen Mun Town Lot No. 436 in Siu Lam; Lot No.1198, Junction of Shouson Hill Road West and Wong Chuk Hang

Path

Upton, a 42-storey luxury residential tower with a panoramic view of Victoria Harbour is on schedule for completion in 2015. This development will hold 125 sea-view apartments and cover a GFA of 185k sq. ft.. The pre-sales of Upton started in late Dec 2014 and has been well received by the market with 60% of total units sold and HK$1.6bn+ sales proceeds achieved so far. Meanwhile, the development project at Tuen Mun Town Lot No. 436, Kwun Fat Street, Siu Lam is also in good progress and shall reach completion in 2015 as well. This plot which covers a GFA of 39k sq. ft. will be turned into 14 low-rise detached or semi-detached houses. Another house development project has also been tailored for the newly acquired land in Shouson Hill. 20 low-density luxury houses will be built on the corresponding lot with a target completion date of 2017.

Empire Land Commercial Centre, Wanchai; Nos. 45-51 Kwok Shui Road,

Kwai Chung

Striving for further enhancement of the property portfolio, EIH has proposed acquisitions of Empire Land Commercial Centre in Wanchai and Nos. 45-51 Kwok Shui Road in Kwai Chung which are expected to be completed by Dec 2014 and Jan 2015 respectively. Both properties are well-located and have good potential for upgrading and value-enhancement.

Empire Land Commercial Centre is a 25-storey commercial building covering a GFA of 53k sq. ft.. We expect its rental growth and capital appreciation potentials to reveal in the years ahead with the tenant mix enhancement, as well as the opening of Shatin to Central Link’s North South Corridor in 2020.

The industrial building located at 45-51 Kwok Shui Road, Kwai Chung covers a GFA of 125k sq. ft.. We look forward to a revitalization plan on the property in the long-run.

Attractive Valuation; Stay Overweight

Amid favorable monetary policies in China and the eurozone, we expect HK’s property market, both investment and development, will remain firm. Meanwhile, the pre-sales of Upton is well received by the market with 60%+ of total units sold. On the back of the steady project pipeline, we expect a 25% increase in EIH’s FY16 rental income, and are upbeat to the company’s long term growth as well. Trading at 80% discount to our NAV of HK$8.61 and 6% yield, EIH remains undervalued. We reiterate Overweight on the stock with target at HK$3.38.

Risks

◆ Uncertainty on property sales brought by interest rate volatility as well as

the volatility in HK’s real estate market

◆ Headwind to HK and Macau’s retail, hotel and gaming industries which is

caused by the economic slowdown and the anti-corruption campaign in China

◆ Uncertainties on HK Government’s housing policy, the central

government’s policy on its residents’ outbound travel to Macau and the policy on the gaming industry imposed by Macau Government
