Jimmy / Devon:

In response to your queries relating to the 2015 Budget, we will not be amending the 2015 Budget as presented to the Board at the February board meeting but the following should be noted: 

1.       BHR’s 2015 income will be marginally impacted.  We lost out on a one-time US$7.5mm management fees (payable in equal amounts over 3 years) as a result of Ding Feng defaulting on their RMB2.25billion subscription, however, we managed to raise RMB200mm of replacement funds for which we have already received RMB2 mm in management fees for 2015 (and will receive an additional 6.4mm over the next two years).  All in all, we have not suffered any material loss of income for 2015

2.       Expenses-wise, we foresee additional legal expense in the approximate range of RMB4,500,000, current income is sufficient to accommodate such additional expenses

3.       As indicated previously, we are actively pursuing all channels of communication with Sinopec with the view of settling any claims they might have against us.  We will keep you updated

4.       Aside from a recent VP joining us from CITIC Securities, we have no plans to make any additional hires for 2015

Hope this clarifies.  Happy for you to pass this information on to the others whom I have missed on this email.  

Xin

Xin

Thank you for sending the budget over to us. Please provide an updated version so we can see how the reduced fee on the SINOPEC deal financially impacts  the firm. I would also like to see the how the expense side is affected, for instance we are surely incurring more legal expenses due to that LP's actions 

It is important for us to be able to see how the firm is being impacted financially by that LP breaking his contract with us.

I copied Hunter on this email just to streamline communications

Thanks again for your attention to this matter Xin much appreciated 

Regards

Jimmy
