CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT Overview Jardine Cycle & Carriage achieved a record result in 2010 as most of Astra’s operations benefited from the strength of the Indonesian economy. Performance The Group produced an underlying profit of US$812 million in 2010, an increase of 55%, while underlying earnings per share at US¢228.34 were also 55% higher. Profit attributable to shareholders of US$944 million included a non-trading gain of US$132 million, largely due to the fair value gain attributable to Astra’s oil palm plantations, compared with the non-trading loss of US$12 million in 2009. The Group’s net asset value of US$3.7 billion, or US$10.52 per share, at the end of 2010 was 29% higher than at the end of 2009. Astra’s contribution to the Group’s underlying profit increased by 62% to US$798 million, reflecting a stronger rupiah and improved performances from most of its major businesses. Underlying profit contribution from the Group’s other motor interests was, however, 5% lower at US$56 million, mainly due to reduced earnings in Singapore. Corporate costs and withholding tax on dividends received from Indonesia amounted to US$42 million. The Board is recommending a final one-tier tax exempt dividend of US¢82.00 per share (2009: US¢47.00 per share). This together with the interim dividend will produce a total dividend of US¢98.00 per share, an increase of 69%. Business Activity Astra

Astra enjoyed an excellent year, achieving a record profit with improved performances from all its businesses except contract mining. The wholesale market for motor cars experienced strong growth, with Astra’s Toyota and Daihatsu marques maintaining their market leading positions. The wholesale market for motorcycles also grew strongly, and Astra Honda Motors did well to maintain its leading position amid intense competition. Astra’s consumer finance operations achieved improved profits as they benefited from the growth in their overall loan books, stable interest margins and good liquidity in the banking sector. In December 2010, the group completed the acquisition of the 47% that it did not already own of Astra Sedaya Finance, the largest of the Astra Credit Companies. Bank Permata also reported better results in the positive economic environment. In the last quarter, Bank Permata enhanced its capital adequacy ratio through a rights issue and also completed the acquisition of domestic credit card issuer, GE Finance Indonesia. Astra Agro Lestari saw its profit rise thanks to higher palm oil prices and increased production. United Tractors’ results were largely unchanged despite a significant improvement in Komatsu equipment sales owing to shortfalls from its coal mining subsidiary, Pamapersada Nusantara, which was adversely impacted by poor weather conditions and the weaker US dollar. Other motor interests

The Group’s Singapore motor operations produced a lower profit following a sharp reduction in the government quota for new vehicle sales. While sales of Mercedes-Benz were resilient, they were insufficient to offset the shortfalls in Mitsubishi and Kia.

In Malaysia, Cycle & Carriage Bintang made an improved contribution following an increase in Mercedes-Benz sales. In November 2010, the company announced the conditional acquisition of a small Mercedes-Benz dealership in Penang, Malaysia. In Indonesia, Tunas Ridean also had an excellent year as it benefited from growth in the Indonesian automotive market. Truong Hai Auto Corporation in Vietnam made a lower contribution due to the weaker Vietnam dong, lower margins and higher financing costs, but did well to enhance its market share in difficult trading conditions. People On behalf of the Directors, I wish to thank our 156,000 staff employed across the Group. This excellent set of results would not have been possible without their commitment, dedication and diligence. I would also like to thank our customers, shareholders and business partners for their continuing support. Outlook Jardine Cycle & Carriage’s main businesses achieved excellent earnings growth in 2010 and the results also benefited from the strengthening of the Indonesian rupiah. While the economic outlook for the Group’s markets in Southeast Asia remains encouraging, the rate of earnings growth is expected to moderate in 2011. Anthony Nightingale Chairman 25th February 2011

Group Managing Director’s Review

Overview The Group had an excellent year in 2010, achieving a record set of results with the good growth in its Indonesian businesses further enhanced by the strength of the rupiah. Performance The Group’s revenue increased by 47% to US$15.7 billion in 2010. Underlying profit grew by 55% to a record US$812 million and underlying earnings per share also increased by 55% to US¢228.34. Profit attributable to shareholders at US$944 million included a non-trading gain of US$132 million, due largely to the fair value gain on oil palm plantations arising from the increase in crude palm oil prices assumed. Astra’s contribution to the Group’s underlying profit rose by 62%, reflecting a stronger rupiah and improved performances across almost all its major businesses. The Group’s other motor interests contributed US$56 million, 5% down on the previous year. The Group continued to benefit from healthy operating cashflows and its balance sheet remains strong. Consolidated net debt, excluding borrowings within Astra’s financial services companies, was US$353 million at the end of 2010, compared to net cash of US$64 million at the end of 2009. This was due mainly to the purchase of an additional 47% interest in Astra Sedaya Finance, participation in Bank Permata’s rights issue and the purchase of mining equipment and rental vehicles by Astra’s mining and car rental businesses, respectively. The net debt within Astra’s financial services companies at US$2.4 billion was US$868 million higher than at the previous year end following an increase in volume financed. Parent company net cash was US$7 million at the year end. Group Review Astra The Indonesian economy grew by 6% in 2010, supported by a continuation of robust consumer demand, net foreign investment inflows and the availability of consumer finance at attractive interest rates. Astra achieved a record net profit equivalent to US$1.6 billion under Indonesian accounting standards, 43% up on the previous year. Automotive The wholesale motor vehicle market grew by 57% to 765,000 units, while Astra’s motor vehicle sales rose by 52% to 426,000 units leading to a decline in its market share from 58% to 56%. The wholesale motorcycle market increased by 26% to 7.4 million units. Motorcycle sales by Astra Honda Motor grew by 26% to 3.4 million units, enabling it to maintain a 46% market share. Astra Otoparts, the group’s component manufacturing operation, benefited from the growth of the Indonesian automotive market and reported a profit of US$126 million, 49% higher than the previous year.

Financial Services Earnings in the group’s consumer finance activities improved, reflecting growth in their loan books, stable net interest margins and good liquidity in the local banking sector. The amount financed through Federal International Finance, the Astra Credit Companies and Toyota Astra Financial Services grew by 39% to US$4.8 billion, excluding balances financed through joint financing without recourse.

Group insurance company, Asuransi Astra Buana, generated higher earnings from retail and commercial premiums and investment income. Bank Permata, which is 45%-owned, reported profit of US$110 million, twice the previous year as it benefited from the positive economic conditions. Agribusiness Astra Agro Lestari, the group’s 80%-owned subsidiary, reported a profit of US$222 million, an increase of 21% over 2009. Crude palm oil prices achieved were on average 13% higher than the previous year, while palm oil production was up 3% at 1.1 million tonnes. Heavy Equipment and Mining The group’s 60%-owned heavy equipment and mining subsidiary, United Tractors, reported a profit which was relatively flat at US$427 million. The Komatsu heavy equipment business posted strong results with equipment sales growing by 74% to 5,400 units. This was, however, largely offset by a lower contribution from its mining subsidiary, Pamapersada Nusantara, which was affected by higher costs due to adverse weather conditions and the weaker US dollar, despite a 14% increase in coal production to 78 million tonnes and a 9% increase in overburden removed to 651 million bcm. Infrastructure and Logistics Astra’s infrastructure and logistics businesses saw profits rise 34% to US$39 million. Sales volume of 49%-held PAM Lyonnaise Jaya, which operates the western Jakarta water utility system, increased by 7% to 147 million cubic metres. Marga Mandalasakti, the 79%-owned toll road operator, reported a 7% increase in traffic volume to 29.4 million vehicles on higher average tariffs. Serasi Autoraya’s improved profit was supported by higher sales of rental vehicles. Information Technology The group’s 77%-held Astra Graphia, which is the sole distributor of Fuji Xerox equipment in Indonesia and active in information technology, reported a 77% rise in profit to US$13 million. Other Motor Interests Underlying profit from the Group’s other motor interests at US$56 million, fell by 5% compared with the previous year. Singapore The Singapore motor operations had a challenging year with their contribution declining by 23% to US$28 million. The market for passenger cars fell by 32% to 47,000 units following a significant reduction in the government quota for new vehicles, which in turn drove up the prices of vehicle certificates of entitlement. While the Group’s sales of passenger cars fell by 24% to 8,400 units, its market share rose from 16% to 18%. Sales of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars proved resilient, increasing by 11%, but Kia sales fell by 31% and Mitsubishi by 62%. Malaysia In Malaysia, Cycle & Carriage Bintang’s contribution of US$5 million was 13% up on the previous year. Sales of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars were 25% higher, supported by strong demand for the new E-Class launched in late 2009.

Indonesia In Indonesia, Tunas Ridean also had an excellent year, contributing a profit of US$14 million, up 89%. Sales of motor vehicles and motorcycles were 52% and 40% higher, respectively. New lending volume by Mandiri Tunas Finance more than doubled to US$501 million, producing higher income despite lower net interest margins. Vietnam Truong Hai Automotive Corporation (“Thaco”) contributed a profit of US$9 million, 13% down on the previous year due to the weaker Vietnam dong, lower margins and higher financing costs. The motor vehicle market in Vietnam fell by 5% to 113,000 units in 2010. Thaco did well to grow its sales by 21%, achieving an improved market share of 23%, up from 18% in the previous year. Outlook The Group performed well, particularly Astra, to deliver a record set of results. The outlook for 2011 is positive although earnings growth is expected to moderate and challenges remain in its motor operations in Singapore and Vietnam. Ben Keswick Group Managing Director 25th February 2011

Notes

1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements are consistent with those set out in the 2009 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 2009 audited accounts except for the change in accounting policy on the Group’s owner-occupied freehold land and buildings, and the building component of owner-occupied leasehold properties, and the adoption of the amendments and interpretations described in the paragraphs below. Previously, the Group’s owner-occupied freehold land and buildings, and the building component of owner-occupied leasehold properties were stated at valuation. Independent valuations were performed every three years on an open market basis, and in the case of the building component of leasehold properties, on the basis of depreciated replacement cost. In the intervening years, the directors reviewed the carrying values and adjustments were made where there were material changes. Revaluation surpluses and deficits were recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under asset revaluation reserves except for movements on individual properties below depreciated cost which were recognised in the consolidated profit and loss account. Leasehold land was carried at amortised cost. With effect from 1st January 2010, the Group revised its accounting policy in respect of its owner-occupied freehold land and buildings, and the building component of owner-occupied leasehold properties to the cost model, under which these assets are carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment. This change harmonises the treatment of land and buildings, both freehold and leasehold, and aligns the Group’s accounting policy with industry practice, enhancing the comparability of the Group’s financial statements with those of its international peers. The Directors believe that the new policy provides reliable and more relevant financial information to the users of the financial statements. This change in accounting policy has been accounted for retrospectively, and the comparative financial statements have been restated. (i) Effects of change in accounting policy on the consolidated profit and loss account for the year ended

1 Basis of preparation (continued) The following amendments and interpretations to existing standards which are effective in the current accounting period and relevant to the Group’s operations were adopted in 2010: Amendments to IFRS 2 Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions Amendment to IAS 17 Leases Amendment to IAS 39 Eligible Hedged Items IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers Improvements to IFRSs (2009) The Group also early adopted the following amendment which is relevant to its operations: Amendment to IAS 12 Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets The change in accounting policy and the adoption of the 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 continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable. 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$1.2883 (2009:US$1=S$1.4032), US$1=RM3.0705 (2009:US$1=RM3.4218), US$1=IDR8,991 (2009:US$1=IDR 9,400) and US$1=VND19,499 (2009:US$1=VND18,479).

The exchange rates used for translating the results for the year are US$1=S$1.3608 (2009: US$1=S$1.4527), US$1=RM3.2159 (2009:US$1=RM3.5238), US$1=IDR9,078 (2009:US$1=IDR 10,359) and US$1=VND19,183 (2009:US$1=VND17,810).
