CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT Overview While 2009 began with concerns over the possibility of a deep and prolonged recession, by the middle of the year the positive measures taken by central banks and governments worldwide began to be felt. In particular, strong domestic demand and a relatively low dependence on exports led to growth in the Indonesian economy, enabling Astra to produce a fine result. Performance The Group’s revenue for the year ended 31st December 2009 was US$10.6 billion, 5% below the previous year. Underlying profit for the year grew by 8% to US$515 million. Underlying earnings per share were 7% higher at US¢144.73. Profit attributable to shareholders increased by 12% to US$503 million after accounting for a net non-trading loss of US$12 million, mainly representing fair value losses on oil palm plantations partly offset by a gain on a disposal by Tunas Ridean. Astra’s contribution to the Group’s underlying profit increased by 5% to US$485 million. The Group’s share of profit from its non-Astra motor interests increased by 32% to US$58 million. Corporate costs and withholding tax on dividends received from Indonesia amounted to US$28 million. The Board is recommending a final one-tier tax exempt dividend of US¢47.00 per share (2008: US¢36.00 per share). This, together with the interim dividend, will give a total dividend per share of US¢58.00 for 2009, an increase of 16%. Business Activity Astra enjoyed an excellent year and produced record results as the Indonesian economy was largely insulated from the global economic recession. Earnings from its motor car, auto component, financial services and contract mining activities improved, more than compensating for weaker results from its agribusiness and motorcycle operations. While the wholesale market for motor cars in Indonesia experienced a reduction, strong performances from its Toyota and Daihatsu marques enabled Astra to increase its market share. The motorcycle wholesale market also declined, although Astra did well to maintain its leadership position amidst aggressive competition. Its consumer finance operations showed improvement following growth in their overall loan book, while Bank Permata also reported a higher profit. Astra Agro Lestari experienced a decline in profit due to lower palm oil prices. United Tractor’s results improved following an excellent performance from its contract mining subsidiary, Pamapersada Nusantara, which benefited from the continued strength of the coal industry in Indonesia. The Group’s motor operations in Singapore did well in a challenging year. The performance of Mercedes-Benz was fairly resilient, showing only a modest decline in sales. Mitsubishi sales were adversely affected by the strong Yen, but Kia exceeded expectations with healthy demand for its competitively priced vehicles. In Malaysia, Cycle & Carriage Bintang reported an improvement in earnings, largely due to cost savings arising from its restructuring in 2008 and a refund of duties written off in earlier years. Tunas Ridean’s automotive sales reduced in line with the Indonesian market. It recorded a non-recurring gain upon the sale of a 51% interest in its wholly-owned finance business to Bank Mandiri at the beginning of the year. In February 2010, the Group increased its interest in Tunas Ridean from 38% to 44% at a cost of US$13 million.

In Vietnam, Truong Hai Auto Corporation delivered a strong set of results as it benefited from a recovery in the economy. This compares with a loss recorded for the five-month period in 2008 that followed the Group’s acquisition of its initial 20% interest. The Group’s shareholding was increased to 29% in 2009 through a further investment of US$44 million. People We were deeply saddened by the passing of Michael Ruslim, President Director of Astra, who died on 20th January 2010 after a short but severe illness. Michael was a good friend and trusted colleague, and his death came as a great shock to us all. He first joined Astra in 1983 and became its inspirational leader following his appointment as President Director in 2005. He will be remembered for his outstanding achievements and for his great contribution to Indonesia. Prijono Sugiarto has become the acting President Director of Astra prior to the consideration of his formal appointment as the new President Director at an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held in March. Prijono joined Astra in 1990 and has most recently been responsible for all of Astra’s non-Toyota automotive businesses. On behalf of the Directors, I wish to thank our 137,000 staff employed across the Group. The Group’s success is due in large part to their hard work, dedication and spirit of excellence in the face of challenging times. I also wish to thank our customers, shareholders and business partners for their continued support. Outlook The outlook for 2010 is positive for Jardine Cycle & Carriage as the countries in which the Group is represented continue to provide a reasonable operating environment. Concerns remain, however, that global uncertainties still have the potential to impact the Group’s activities. Anthony Nightingale Chairman 25th February 2010

Group Managing Director’s Review

Overview The Group’s excellent results for 2009 were significantly better than expected at the start of the year due primarily to the continued growth of the Indonesian economy which helped Astra to achieve a record profit. Performance The Group’s revenue of US$10.6 billion for the year ended 31st December 2009 was 5% down on the previous year. Underlying profit was 8% higher at US$515 million, while underlying earnings per share were up 7% at US¢144.73. Astra’s contribution to underlying profit grew by 5% to US$485 million, despite a 6% decline in the Rupiah exchange rate compared with the previous year. The Group’s non-Astra motor interests contributed US$58 million, an increase of 32%, mainly due to strong results from Vietnam. Corporate costs and withholding tax on dividends from Indonesia amounted to US$28 million. The profit attributable to shareholders for the year was 12% higher at US$503 million, after accounting for a non-trading loss of US$12 million. The non-trading loss consisted of a fair value loss in the Group’s oil palm plantations, partly offset by a gain on the sale by Tunas Ridean of a 51% interest in its finance company. The Group’s consolidated net cash, excluding borrowings within Astra’s financial services operations, was US$64 million at 31st December 2009. Strong operating cash flows during the year led to an improvement over the consolidated net debt of US$157 million existing at the end of 2008. The net debt within Astra’s financial services operations was US$1.5 billion, up from US$1.2 billion at the end of 2008. At the Jardine Cycle & Carriage parent company level, there was net cash of US$1 million. Group Review Astra The Indonesian economy was one of the very few in Southeast Asia that grew in 2009, benefiting from a fairly resilient domestic demand and a relatively low dependence on exports. Following a slow first half, Astra achieved a record net profit for the year equivalent to US$969 million under Indonesian accounting standards, some 9% higher in its reporting currency than in 2008. While earnings from its agribusiness and motorcycle business were down, this was more than compensated by improved profits in its motor car, auto component, financial services and contract mining activities. Automotive and Financial Services Astra’s automotive and financial services businesses contributed US$314 million to the Group’s underlying profit in 2009, 6% higher than the previous year despite reduced motorcycle sales and the weaker Rupiah. The Indonesian wholesale motor car market faced weaker demand, particularly in the first half and declined by 20% to some 486,000 units in 2009. A popular model range meant that Astra’s motor car sales decreased by only 12% to 281,000 units, producing a strong improvement in its market share from 52% to 58%. The group’s overall results benefited from a firming exchange rate and cost reduction programmes.

The Indonesian wholesale motorcycle market declined by 6% to 5.9 million units, having been 17% down at the half year. Astra Honda Motor’s sales declined in line with the market to 2.7 million units, maintaining its market share at 46%. Automotive component manufacturer Astra Otoparts reported a 36% increase in net profit, with improvements across most of its activities. Astra’s consumer finance operations produced higher profits following the growth in their loan book. Astra’s 45%-owned associate, Bank Permata, reported a 6% improvement in net profit, mainly due to higher operating income. Natural Resources & Other Astra’s natural resources and other businesses, comprising agribusiness, heavy equipment, mining, information technology and infrastructure, contributed US$191 million to the Group’s underlying profit, unchanged from the previous year. This was primarily due to the strong performance from most of the businesses, which more than compensated for the impact of lower crude palm oil prices. In agribusiness, 80%-held Astra Agro Lestari reported a net profit of US$160 million, representing a 37% decline. While palm oil production rose 10% in 2009 to 1.1 million tonnes, crude palm oil prices achieved were some 13% lower than in the previous year. In heavy equipment, 60%-held United Tractors recorded a 43% rise in net profit to US$369 million. While sales of Komatsu heavy equipment fell 28% to 3,100 units, the negative effect on earnings was offset by higher revenues from parts and services. Mining subsidiary Pamapersada Nusantara recorded a strong improvement in its results as it benefited from the continued expansion of coal production in Indonesia. It increased coal extraction by 15% to 68 million tonnes and overburden removal by 35% to 598 million bcm. In information technology, 77%-owned Astra Graphia reported a 7% improvement in net profit, due to higher revenues. Astra’s infrastructure investments performed satisfactorily as 30%-held PAM Lyonnaise Jaya, which operates the western Jakarta water utility system, increased its sales volume by 2% to 138 million cubic metres, and Marga Mandalasakti, the 79%-owned toll road operator, reported slightly higher traffic volume of 27 million vehicles during the year.

Other Motor Interests Underlying profit from the Group’s other motor interests in 2009 was up 32% at US$58 million.

Singapore The Singapore motor operations performed satisfactorily in a challenging year, contributing a profit of US$36 million. This result, which was marginally higher than the previous year, benefited from government stimulus subsidies. The overall passenger car market fell by 27% to 72,400 units in 2009, while the commercial vehicle market fell by 31% to 7,500 units. Although the Group sold a total of 11,000 passenger cars, which was 16% lower than the previous year, its market share increased from 13% to 15%. Sales of commercial vehicles were 22% lower at 600 units, reflecting an 8% market share. Mercedes-Benz passenger car sales were fairly resilient, showing only a modest sales decline. Mitsubishi passenger car sales were adversely impacted by the strong Yen and fell by 60%, while Kia passenger car sales grew by 87% owing to competitive pricing.

Malaysia In Malaysia, 59%-owned Cycle & Carriage Bintang contributed a 29% increase in underlying profit of US$4 million as it benefited from a refund of duties written off in earlier years and lower overhead expenses following the restructuring in 2008. Its Mercedes-Benz passenger car sales in 2009 were some 6% higher than in the previous year, which had suffered from supply constraints of the C-Class.

Indonesia Tunas Ridean saw sales of motor vehicles and motorcycles decline by 6% and 10%, respectively. In addition, lower finance income was earned due to the sale of a 51% stake in the wholly-owned Tunas Finance to Bank Mandiri. It contributed an underlying profit of US$7 million, 19% lower, with the impact of lower volume and the weaker Rupiah partly mitigated by higher interest income earned from the proceeds from the sale of its finance business. The Group increased its shareholding in Tunas Ridean from 38% to 44% in February 2010.

Vietnam 29%-owned associate, Truong Hai Auto Corporation (“Thaco”), contributed an underlying profit of US$11 million. This compares with a loss in 2008 for the five months following the Group’s initial investment. In 2009, the vehicle market in Vietnam grew by 9% to 119,000 units as the economy recovered, while Thaco’s vehicle sales grew by 35% to 21,600 units, resulting in its market share increasing from 15% to 18%. Outlook After the fine result in 2009, the outlook for the Group in 2010 remains positive as the Group’s businesses are continuing to trade well. The overall performance for the year, however, is dependent on the economic recovery in the region being maintained. Ben Keswick Group Managing Director 25th February 2010

Notes

1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements are consistent with those set out in the 2008 audited accounts which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). There have been no changes to the accounting policies described in the 2008 audited accounts except for the adoption of the new standards, amendments and interpretations shown below: IFRS 8 Operating Segments IAS 1 (revised 2007) Presentation of Financial Statements IAS 23 (revised 2007) Borrowing Costs Amendments to IFRS 1 Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or and IAS 27 Associate Amendment to IFRS 2 Vesting Conditions and Cancellations Amendments to IFRS 7 Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation Improvements to IFRSs (2008)

The Group also early adopted the following standards and amendments to existing standards which are

relevant to its operations: IFRS 3 (revised 2008) Business Combinations Amendment to IFRS 8 Operating Segments Amendment to IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements The adoption of these new standards, amendments and interpretations did not have a material impact on the results of the Group. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. Estimates and judgments used in preparing the financial statements are regularly evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.

The exchange rates used for translating assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are US$1=S$1.4032 (2008:US$1=S$1.4390), US$1=RM3.4218 (2008:US$1=RM3.4735), US$1=IDR9,400 (2008:US$1=IDR 10,950) and US$1=VND18,479 (2008:US$1=VND17,483).

The exchange rates used for translating the results for the year are US$1=S$1.4527 (2008: US$1=S$1.4099), US$1=RM3.5238 (2008:US$1=RM3.3364), US$1=IDR10,359 (2008:US$1=IDR 9,757) and US$1=VND17,810 (2008:US$1=VND16,532).
