Chairman's Statement

Dear Shareholders,

We are pleased to present the interim results of Vietnam Infrastructure Limited (AIM: VNI) for the six month period ended 31 December 2012.

Vietnam's economy continued to stabilise through the final six months of 2012. The consumer price index finished the full year at 6.8 per cent, a drastic change from a rate of 18.1 per cent recorded in 2011. However, Vietnam's gross domestic product increased just 5.4 per cent in the final quarter of 2012, bringing the full year to 5.0 per cent. This was the weakest annual economic expansion since 1999 and came as a result of the State Bank of Vietnam's focus on maintaining a manageable level of inflation. Vietnam's trade balance finished 2012 at a USD780 million surplus, a huge difference from 2011, which recorded a USD9.5 billion deficit. This was mainly attributable to an increase in output from the foreign direct investment sector which is now capitalizing on Vietnam's manufacturing advantages. Consequently, Vietnam's capital markets performed well during the later part of 2012, with the VN Index increasing by 18.9 per cent during the year.

During the period, a sale of two of the four components of the Long An SEA mixed use project was completed. As a result, VNI received USD11.2 million in cash proceeds.  In August 2012, VNI invested a further USD5.0 million into Vina CPK Limited, a 308 ha industrial park located 20 kilometers outside Hanoi, increasing its stake to 97.2 per cent. This asset is a key component of VNI's strategy of developing infrastructure land projects.

The Board is pleased that during the extraordinary general meeting held in July 2012 shareholders approved an ordinary resolution to grant the Board an ongoing share buyback authority. The share buyback will facilitate distributions to shareholders, assist the Company in reducing the share price to net asset value discount and enhance the net asset value attributable to remaining shareholders. During the six months ended 31 December 2012, VNI repurchased 14.1 million shares, which are held as treasury shares, representing 3.5 per cent of the total shares in issue.

VNI saw its net asset value remain unchanged at USD195.6 million or USD0.50 per share as at 31 December 2012, from a net asset value per share of USD0.50 as at 30 June 2012. VNI's share price closed at USD0.295 at the end of the period, representing a 41.0 per cent share price to net asset value discount. This marks an improvement from the 58.0 per cent discount recorded as at 30 June 2012 and is attributable to the share buyback program and renewed interest in the Company from investors. The Board will continue to implement measures that should see the discount close further over the remainder of 2013.

Going forward the Board and manager see a number of attractive opportunities in both private and listed equities, in core infrastructure sectors such as telecommunications, industrial parks and transportation. Subject to the satisfactory completion of due diligence procedures the Board expects the remaining cash on hand to be fully utilised by these investments and the continuing share buyback program.

Thank you for your continued support.

The Company and its subsidiaries herein are referred as the Group.

The Company and the Group's principal activity is to invest in a diversified portfolio of entities owning infrastructure projects and assets in Vietnam and the surrounding Asian countries. The Group mainly invests and holds equity, debt instruments in unquoted companies that themselves hold, develop or operate infrastructure assets. The Group may also invest in entities whose shares or other instruments are listed on a stock exchange, or traded on the over-the-counter ("OTC") markets. The Group may also invest in other funds that invest in infrastructure. The Company's shares are listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol VNI.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2012 were approved for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on ------27 March 2013.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six month period ended 31 December 2012 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). They do not include all of the information required in the annual financial statements which are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2012.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

The AIM Rules for Companies require comparative figures for the balance sheet for the corresponding period end in the preceding financial year which differs to IAS 34 which requires comparative figures for the balance sheet for the immediately preceding financial year end. The Group continues to elect to report in accordance with IAS 34 and as such has agreed with the London Stock Exchange a derogation from the above requirement of the AIM Rules for Companies in order to comply with IAS 34.

4. ESTIMATES

When preparing the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Group undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and may not equal the estimated results.

Information about significant judgements, estimates and assumptions that have the most effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses were the same as those that applied to the last annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012.

5. SEGMENT ANALYSIS

In identifying its operating segments, management generally follows the Group's sectors of investment which are based on internal management reporting information for the Investment Manager's management, monitoring of investments and decision making. The operating segments by investment portfolio include energy, property and infrastructure developers, telecommunications, transportation and logistics, general infrastructure, environment and others.

Each of the operating segments are managed and monitored separately by the Investment Manager as each requires different resources and approaches. The Investment Manager assesses segment profit or loss using a measure of operating profit or loss from the investment assets. Although IFRS 8 requires measurement of segmental profit or loss, the majority of expenses are common to all segments therefore cannot be individually allocated. There have been no changes from prior periods in the measurement methods used to determine reported segment profit or loss.

Segment information can be analysed as follows for the reporting periods under review:
