Valuation Method and Risk Statement

We value Jardine Matheson based on our SOTP-derived NAV and apply a discount based on

its stub value discount of 10%.

We believe the key upside risks to our price target for Jardine Matheson include: 1) favourable

currency movements against the US dollar, the reporting currencies of Astra International,

Zhongsheng and THACO; 2) improving economic landscape in emerging markets for

properties, auto distribution and retail industries; and 3) larger-than-expected rates to drive a

higher asset value due to lower cap rates for investment properties. Key downside risks

include: 1) unfavourable currency movements against the US dollar, the reporting currencies

of Astra International, Zhongsheng and THACO; 2) competitive pressure in the properties,

auto distribution and retail industries; and 3) lower asset value due to higher cap rates for

investment properties.
