          higher than last year. Rental margin for the three recently
        
        
          opened malls (Palace 66, Parc 66 and Forum 66) should
        
        
          continue to advance. Occupancy everywhere is expected to
        
        
          be basically full.
        
        
          For our Hong Kong investment portfolio, 2013 should look
        
        
          quite similar to last year in terms of rental growth rate. Extra
        
        
          rents therefrom should more than compensate for the loss
        
        
          of income from discontinued properties.
        
        
          We are hopeful that there will again be opportunities to
        
        
          sell completed apartments in meaningful quantities and at
        
        
          satisfactory prices. On the other hand, after a year of many
        
        
          transactions, the sales of non-core investment properties
        
        
          may take a breather. There is however an odd case.
        
        
          Due to technical reasons, a block of serviced apartments
        
        
          called The Bay Bridge owned by this Company is being
        
        
          sold through the assignment of company scripts. The sale
        
        
          and purchase agreement was signed late last year but the
        
        
          transaction will not be completed until early this year. Unlike
        
        
          the sales of real asset, accounting rules dictate that profit
        
        
          from the sale of shares will not be recognized until the deal
        
        
          is closed. Because a market price has been established
        
        
          when the transaction was struck, the property must be
        
        
          revalued to that number at December 31, 2012. As a result,
        
        
          the sale was not included among the 2012 transactions
