RNS Number:9794J London Asia Capital PLC 21 March 2005 London Asia Capital plc ("London Asia" or the "Company") Investment in Singapore Listed Power Company London Asia, the Greater China focused investment and merchant banking group, has taken a 10% holding in Singapore stock market listed Asia Power Corp. Ltd ("Asia Power") at a cost of #1.7 million. Asia Power is listed on the main Board of the Singapore Stock Exchange, with a market capitalisation of #16.3 million. It invests in power plants, provides related services and technology, and management consulting to the energy sector in China. It currently owns stakes in six power stations in China, and in January 2005 announced a joint venture to develop wind power stations in China. The investment was made via the acquisition of 100% of Acme Rate Asset Ltd ("ARA Ltd"), a British Virgin Islands incorporated company, in exchange for 7.57 million new London Asia ordinary shares. ARA Ltd owns 35 million Asia Power ordinary shares, equal to 10% of Asia Powers ordinary issued share capital.

Victor Ng, director of London Asia's Greater China operations, is an Independent Director of Asia Power. He said: "Clean power generation is becoming increasingly important in China, as well as the rest of the world, with the rising costs of oil and the realisation of the effects on the environment of fossil fuel use. Asia Power's recent move into the wind energy sector in China is one of several projects they are looking at in the renewable energy field." Simon Littlewood, London Asia Chief Executive, said: "Last week we announced London Asia has been appointed as preferred corporate finance advisor to over US$1 billion of energy and environment related projects in China. Our investment in Asia Power provides us with a potential exit route and source of funding for some of those deals, a management team with many years experience in the energy sector in China, access to technology and consulting services, as well as a dividend income stream."
