  2. Manager comment VNI’s net asset value was USD191.0 million or USD0.48 per share at 31 March 2012, an increase of 4.6 percent from the auditor reviewed net asset value of USD182.6 million or USD0.46 per share at 31December 2011. The fund’s share price rose to USD0.27 per share at the end of the quarter, up 35.6 percent from USD0.20 in December 2011. As a result the share price to NAV per share discount decreased significantly to 43.8 percent in March from 56.1 percent at the end of last year. During the quarter, listed investee company Phuoc Hoa Rubber JSC (PHR) held its annual shareholder meeting and agreed to pay a cash dividend of 11 percent yield of par value. The company reported audited FY2011 revenue of USD124.0 million and a net profit of USD40.0 million, an increase of 27 and 65 percent respectively from a year ago. Additionally, PHR has already achieved USD10.9 million in pre-tax profit in the first three months of the year, which represents 44 percent of its annual target of USD24.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2012. In addition, PetroVietnam Fertilizer and Chemicals (DPM) announced during the quarter consolidated FY 2011 revenue and net profit growth of 39.6 and 82.2 percent respectively. Shares of DPM closed at VND29,200 as of 30 March 2012, up 22.7 percent for the year and at a trailing P/E ratio of 3.6x. In February, VNI announced that it had purchased the remaining 60 percent in VNC-55 Infrastructure Investment JSC (VNC-55), increasing its stake to 100 percent. The company, which specializes in building and leasing Base Transceiver Station (BTS) towers to mobile service providers, was valued at USD21.7 million. When combined with VNI’s other investments in this sector, the fund currently owns approximately 2,000 BTS towers nationwide. Given Vietnam’s high mobile phone penetration rate over the past few years and expected five year subscriber growth, VNI management considered that full control of VNC-55 is important to the fund’s strategic investment goals. This transaction helped increase VNI’s holdings in the telecommunications sector to USD39.5 million or 20.7 percent of total NAV. VNI also announced the resignation of two of its Directors, Mr. Horst Geicke and Mr. Albert Theodore (‘Ted’) Powers following a change of ownership in its investment manager, VinaCapital Investment Management Ltd (VCIM). The Board will consult with VCIM to appoint another representative of VinaCapital at the next Board meeting. The manager presented at this year’s LCF Rothschild Emerging market conference in London on 29 February 2012. The webcast of the presentation is now available on our website here.

  4. Macro economy The macroeconomic headlines were dominated in the first quarter of 2012 by Vietnam’s GDP growth of 4.0 percent versus 5.6 during the same period a year ago and the lowest since June 2009. The industry and construction sector grew 2.9 percent, while agriculture, forestry, and fishery production increased 2.8 percent from the same period last year. Contributing the most towards first quarter GDP growth was the services sector, which grew 5.3 percent. As a result of the lower inflation and the deceleration of GDP growth, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) lowered policy rates and the deposit rate cap by 1 percent. The VND closed the month of March at a reference rate of approximately VND20,830 versus the USD from the end of December 2011. Stabilizing efforts have clearly been working during the first quarter of 2012 as the VND has actually appreciated 0.8 percent, primarily due to the trade deficit reaching only USD300 million year to date. For all of 2011, the deficit nearly reached USD10 billion, placing huge pressure on the government to devalue the VND last year. Additionally, the spread between the free market exchange rate and the official bank rate has effectively gone to zero, indicating that there is very little pressure for the VND to devalue more in the near-term. Exporters are willing to sell their USD to the SBV or other commercial banks providing an ample supply in the foreign exchange market. We continue to estimate an interbank rate of VND22,000 per USD by the end of 2012. During March, the inflation rate was 0.16 percent, equivalent to 14.2 percent year-on-year and 2.6 percent for the first quarter. The reduction in CPI has come primarily from a weakness in aggregate consumer demand as purchasing power fell as a result of the high levels of inflation throughout 2011. The removal of subsidies in major utility and transport sectors such as electricity and gasoline, as well as an expected increase in the minimum wage due in May, will continue to impose added pressure for inflation throughout 2012. However, we project CPI to continue its descent, reaching 10.0 percent for the year, down substantially from 18.1 percent in 2011. However, interest rates remain very high at between 15.0 and 20.0 percent for business loans, higher for non-performing sectors of the economy. Throughout the first quarter of 2012, there have been widespread shortages of capital and an inability for businesses to access bank credit. The government has identified the potential for the economy to enter stagflation and have removed some restrictions on bank lending, specifically within the real estate sector, as well as a 1.0 percent reduction in policy rates and deposit caps. Also, the government has liberalized bank loans for the basis of consumption. An estimated 60 to 70 percent of total consumption comes from the private sector, a major driver of GDP growth.

  7. The manager update section provides investors with information on the policies and practices of VinaCapital Investment Management Ltd (VCIM), as well as updates on VinaCapital relevant to the performance of our investment funds. • Valuation and NAV calculation • The accurate and fair valuation of assets held in fund portfolios is a central component of successful fund management. VCIM follows international best practice whenever possible in its valuation process. • Relevant dates • VNI’s financial year-end is 30 June. Audited annual results must be announced within six months of this date. Interim results at 31 December receive an auditor review and must be announced within three months of this date. VNI calculates its unaudited NAVs monthly and this is normally announced within ten days of month-end. Update reports are issued on a monthly and quarterly basis, in addition to an annual report with the audited final results. • The methods used to value different assets: • Listed equities • The value of listed securities is based on the last traded price of the security on the stock exchange where it trades, or if there is more than one stock exchange on which the security trades, that which is considered the principal stock exchange for that security. • OTC equities • The market price of OTC equities is determined based on a sample of closing prices obtained from a minimum of three leading securities companies in Vietnam. The price used is normally the average of the sample, with outlying prices removed to avoid bias. • Private equities • Unquoted securities will initially be valued at cost. Revaluations of unquoted investments are conducted at 30 June annually in accordance with the guidelines issued by the British Investment Fund Association. • All other assets and liabilities are recorded at their respective fair values or cost, as required by the International Financial Reporting Standards and as set out in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2011. • More information on valuation is available on the Investing policy page of the VNI website: VNI Investing policy. • Audit and valuation committee • VNI has an audit and valuation committee composed of independent non-executive members of the board of directors of the fund, and chaired by an independent director. The committee meets quarterly. • VNI Audit and Valuation Committee • EkkehardGoetting(Chair) • Luong Van Ly • Paul Cheng
