2008 INTERIM REPORT
INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT
The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Guangdong Development Fund Limited presents the unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Fund") for the six months ended 30 June 2008. The unaudited
profit attributable to shareholders for the current period was US$0.38 million, compared to US$2.43 million for the corresponding period in
2007. The decrease was primarily attributable to the fall in investment income of US$2.69 million from the financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss. As at 30 June 2008, total net asset value was US$12.40 million, or US$0.13 per ordinary share.
The Board does not recommend any payment of interim dividend.
Economic Environment
China's gross domestic product ("GDP") grew 10.4% to 13.06 trillion yuan (1.9 trillion U.S. dollars) in the first half over the same
period last year. The growth rate was 1.8 percentage points lower than the first half of last year, and 0.2 percentage points lower than the
first quarter of this year. The double-digit GDP growth indicated the economy of China was still growing at a steady and relatively fast
pace. The cooling of GDP growth indicated the government's macro-economic policy to prevent the economy from overheating has paid off. Last
year, GDP grew 11.4 percent year-on-year with the risks of spiraling inflation and economic overheating rising. To cool the breakneck
growth, China fixed its GDP growth target at 8 percent for 2008. The slowing world economy and weaker demand on international markets also
adversely affected the economy. With on-going industrialisation and urbanisation, China's economy is set to remain robust and vigorous, as
the need to narrow regional disparities would continue providing opportunity for growth.
The continuous favourable economic environment of China and strengthening of Renminbi increased the value of the Fund's investments in
United States dollars. Updated progresses of the various investment projects since the beginning of this year are set out as follows:
Infrastructure Projects
The overall performance of Yuehui Highways and Bridges Development Company Limited (the "Huizhang Highway Project") for the interim
period was satisfactory. Its average daily traffic flow for the current period increased by 2% to 12,229. Turnover increased by 2% to
RMB19.36 million (approximately US$2.82 million) and profit before tax increased by 29% to RMB10.25 million (approximately US$1.49 million).
However, the opening of the Dongguan-Huizhou Expressway at the end of 2008 may cause diversion of traffic away from the Huizhang Highway
Project.
In August 2008, the Fund received the dividend of US$0.58 million (RMB4.0 million) from this project for year 2007, which had already
been recognised last year. During the interim period of last year, the Fund recognised the dividend income from the Huizhang Highway Project
for years 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007 aggregating US$2.67 million. However, the Huizhang Highway Project has not yet declared an interim
dividend for 2008 and the dividend income for the interim period from this project fell substantially when compared with last period.
With reference to the independent valuation report of Vigers Appraisal & Consulting Limited ("Vigers") as at 30 June 2008, a fair value
loss of US$0.24 million was recorded in respect of this project for the current period.
Industrial Projects
During the period, the turnover and profit before tax of Foshan Tongbao Company Limited ("Tongbao") increased by 7% to RMB391.28 million
(approximately US$57.03 million) and 24% to RMB17.61 million (approximately US$2.57 million), respectively, when compared with the same
period last year. This was mainly attributable to the increase in market demand and the capture of market share as a result of the exit of
other competitors from the market.
In July 2008, the Fund received the dividend from Tongbao for year 2007 of US$0.44 million.
With reference to the independent valuation report of Vigers as at 30 June 2008, a fair value gain of US$0.18 million was recorded in
respect of this project for the current period.
Guangdong Zhanhai Instrument & Meter Co. Ltd. ("Zhanhai") still incurred a net loss in the first half of 2008. The Fund sought an
interested potential buyer to buy out all foreign parties' interests in Zhanhai. In order to obtain a higher price, the Fund is currently in
the process of arranging an auction sale of its interests in Zhanhai together with the other foreign party, which has obtained its internal
approval to dispose of its interest in this project. The Fund will closely liaise with the other foreign shareholder to try and ensure the
auction will proceed as soon as possible.
With reference to the independent valuation report of Vigers as at 30 June 2008, a fair value loss of US$0.059 million was recorded in
respect of this project for the current period.
Gaoyao Gaolu Cement Company Limited continued to operate at a loss. On 19 February 2008, the Intermediate People's Court of Zhaoqing,
Guangdong ruled that Gaoyao Gaolu Cement Company Limited transfer some of its buildings and production equipment to settle a debt of RMB24.8
million due to a creditor. The Fund had made full provision for this project in 1999.
On 20 May 2008, the Fund entered into a sale and purchase agreement with a buyer to dispose of all its equity interests in a subsidiary
which hold the interests in Xin Hui Xing Wei Building Material Co. Ltd at a consideration of HK$480,000 (approximately US$61,500). The
Fund has received 50% of the consideration, and is expected to receive the remaining balance in the fourth quarter of the current year.
Real Estate Project
For the period under review, the occupancy rate of shopping mall held by Guangdong Nan Fang (Holdings) Co. Ltd ("Nanfang") is 85%,
representing an increase by 13% when compared with last year. Rental income of the shopping mall for the first half of 2008 amounted to
US$0.37 million. However, after deduction of loan interest expenses and tax, Nanfang recorded a net loss of US$0.26 million for the interim
period.
Principal Risk and Uncertainty
The Fund has a number of financial assets denominated in Renminbi, which amounted to US$9.7 million as at 30 June 2008. The Renminbi has
been appreciating recently; however, if this trend reverses, the Fund's financial assets would be subject to exchange rate risk exposure.
In addition there remains a risk in relation to the convertibility of the Renminbi as set out in note 7 to the interim condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Change of Administrator
As mentioned in the 2007 Annual Report, on 23 November 2007, Dominion Fund Administrators Limited ("Dominion") tendered its resignation
as the Administrator of the Fund with effect from 23 May 2008. As requested by the Fund, Dominion extended its resignation date to 17 July
2008. On that date, Moore Management Limited was appointed as the Administrator of the Fund, which was duly approved by the Jersey Financial
Services Commission.
Management Fee
The Fund continued to pay management fee to GDF Management (Cayman) Limited ("GDFM") in accordance with the Management Agreement dated
29 May 2006. The Fund paid management fee to Springridge Company Limited ("Springridge") in accordance with the Investment Management
Agreement dated 29 May 2006, till 30 May 2008. In view of the significant appreciation of Renminbi against United States dollars, on 1 June
2008, the Fund entered into a Supplemental Investment Management Agreement with Springridge to increase its management fee, such that the
Fund shall pay to Springridge an annual management fee of RMB1.2 million (approximately US$175,000) with settlement in the United States
dollars. The management fee charged by GDFM and Springridge amounted to US$75,000 and US$77,036, respectively, for the six months ended 30
June 2008. The current management arrangements with GDFM and Springridge will expire on 30 November 2009.
Related Parties
Details of the related party transactions are set out in note 11 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Purchase, Sale or Redemption of Shares
During the six months ended 30 June 2008, neither the Fund nor any of its subsidiaries purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Fund's
listed shares.
Audit Committee
The role of the Audit Committee is to advise the Board of the Fund by providing independent and objective reviews of the Fund's
financial reporting procedure, internal control and audit function. The Audit Committee has reviewed this report and presented a report
thereon to the Board.
Corporate Governance
None of the directors of the Fund is aware of any evidence that would reasonably indicate that the Fund failed to comply with the
Combined Code of Principles of Good Governance of the London Stock Exchange at present or for any part of the six months ended 30 June
2008.
Outlook
The Board will continue to make the greatest effort to realise the Fund's investments at the best prices reasonably obtainable in order
to maximise returns to shareholders of the Fund.

* This represents a receivable from an authorised financial institution (the "Trustee") registered in the People's Republic
of China (the "PRC") who, in turn, deposited the amount in a trust bank account jointly operated by the Trustee and the Group. The amount
maintained in this trust bank account is denominated in Renminbi, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the existing
PRC foreign exchange regulations. The Group is currently exploring ways to have this amount remitted to the Group in United States dollars.
In the opinion of the directors, this amount may not be realised and distributed to the shareholders in United States dollars within the
next twelve months from the balance sheet date and, accordingly, the receivable is classified as a non-current asset.
8. Net asset value per ordinary share
The Group's net asset value per ordinary share of US$0.13 (31 December 2007: US$0.12) is based on the net assets attributable to the
equity holders of the parent of US$12,400,300 (31 December 2007: US$12,015,500) and on 96,900,000 (2007: 96,900,000) ordinary shares in

11. Related party transactions
Details of related party transactions are set out in notes 4 and 6 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
12. First-time adoption of IFRS
As described in note 2, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared for the first time using IFRS.
This is different from the basis of preparation and accounting policies adopted in the 2007 Annual Report which was prepared in accordance
with United Kingdom Accounting Standards. In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 1,
the Group has elected to apply the exemption in relation to the designation of a financial asset and designated previously recognised
financial assets from available-for-sale investments to financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
(a) As a result of the first time adoption of IFRS, the key change in the previously adopted accounting policies, as set out in the
2007 Annual Report, is the replacement of the accounting policy for available-for-sale investments with the accounting policy for financial
assets at fair value through profit or loss. The new accounting policy is as follow:
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
All investments are designated upon initial recognition as held at fair value through profit or loss. Assets are de-recognised at the
trade date of the disposal. Proceeds will be measured at fair value, which will be regarded as the proceeds of sale less any transaction
costs. The fair value of the financial instruments is based on their quoted bid price at the balance sheet date, without deduction of the
estimated future selling costs. Unlisted investments are valued using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm's
length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument, which is substantially the same; a discounted cash
flow analysis or other valuation models. Where fair value cannot reliably be measured the investment will be carried at the previous
reporting date value unless there is evidence that the investment has since been impaired, in which case the value will be reduced.
Changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and gains and losses on disposal are recognised in the
Income Statement as "Gain or loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss". Also included within this caption are
transaction costs in relation to the purchase or sale of investments, including the difference between the purchase price of an investment
and its bid price at the date of purchase.
All purchases and sales of financial assets that require delivery within the timeframe established by regulation or market convention
("regular way" purchases and sales) are recognised at trade date.
(b) Restatement of balances as at 31 December 2006
As at 1 January 2007, the Group adopted IFRS. In accordance with IFRS 1 the following is a reconciliation of the results as at 31
December 2006, previously reported under United Kingdom Accounting Standards, to the restated IFRS results.
