OVERVIEW
We are a leading insurance group in the PRC with the ability to provide multiple financial services and products. Our objective is to become one of the leading multiple financial services providers in the world with a core insurance business that consistently delivers stable profit growth and shareholder return. Our strategy is to offer our customers a broad range of financial products and services under one brand, with a focus on life and property and casualty insurance products, through our multi-channel distribution network. Our ability to execute this strategy is enhanced by our sound corporate governance and internal control, strong management team with international experience, advanced information technology platform, centralized customer database, and unified financial, risk and human resource management systems and processes. Our multiple financial services platform enables us to leverage our resources to promote cross-selling and to increase cost efficiency. Moreover, our corporate culture, which is focused on the creation of shareholder value and the adoption of international practices in product management, customer service, distribution and corporate governance, helps us maintain our leadership position in the PRC insurance industry. We have one of the most recognized brands in the PRC insurance industry, especially in individual life insurance, and have developed an extensive customer base in the PRC with over 27 million life insurance and 4 million property and casualty insurance customers as of December 31, 2003. We have also developed one of the largest distribution networks in the PRC, with 70 branch offices, over 3,600 sub-branch offices, more than 180,000 sales agents for our individual life insurance products and over 8,000 employees engaged in sales and marketing activities of our group and property and casualty insurance products as of December 31, 2003. We constantly seek new and innovative ways to serve our customers, and our innovation has not only allowed us to capture market opportunities, but also enabled us to quickly adapt to the rapidly changing market conditions in the PRC.
Based on our PRC GAAP financial data and PRC insurance industry data calculated in accordance with PRC GAAP and published by the National Bureau of Statistics of China and the CIRC:
( We had the second largest market share in the PRC life insurance market in 2002. In addition, we had approximately 19.6% of all the gross written premiums and policy fees received by PRC life insurance companies in 2003;
( We had the third largest market share in the PRC property and casualty insurance market in 2002. In addition, we had approximately 9.7% of the gross written premiums and policy fees received by PRC property and casualty insurance companies;
( Our net profit in 2001 and 2002 were the highest among all PRC insurance companies; and
( Our total assets as of December 31, 2002 were the second highest among all PRC insurance companies.
We have experienced strong growth in our overall insurance operations over the past three years. In particular, our gross written premiums and policy fees increased 42.6% in 2002 to RMB58,420 million from RMB40,955 million in 2001, and increased a further 8.1% in 2003 to RMB63,134 million.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On September 29, 2003, our subsidiary China XXX Trust & Investment Co., Ltd., or XXX Trust, entered into a share transfer agreement with Bank of China, pursuant to which XXX Trust agreed to acquire Bank of China’s 50% equity interest in Fujian Asia Bank Ltd., which is a joint venture bank primarily engaged in foreign currency commercial banking businesses in the PRC, for US$18.3 million. HSBC and BCA Finance Limited had previously entered into a separate share transfer agreement, pursuant to which HSBC agreed to acquire BCA Finance Limited’s 50% equity interest in Fujian Asia Bank Ltd. XXX Trust and HSBC subsequently entered into a joint venture contract, pursuant to which XXX Trust agreed to make a capital contribution of US$23 million for an additional 23% equity interest in Fujian Asia Bank Ltd. Fujian Asia Bank Ltd., which has been renamed XXX Bank Limited, became a 73% owned subsidiary of XXX Trust on February 19, 2004. We intend to leverage XXX Bank Limited to develop a consumer banking business, including offering credit card and real estate mortgage lending services, as and when laws and regulations permit. We believe this transaction will further enhance our ability to provide our customers with multiple financial services, including insurance, securities, banking, pension fund management and credit cards. See the section headed ’’Business-Recent Developments’’.
MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
During the past decade, the PRC insurance market has been one of the fastest growing insurance markets in the world, with industry-wide insurance premiums increasing from RMB50 billion in 1994 to RMB388 billion in 2003 based on data published by the National Bureau of Statistics of China. In particular, significant growth was recorded since 2000, with industry-wide insurance premiums increasing by 44.7% to RMB305 billion and 27.2% to RMB388 billion in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Despite the substantial growth in premiums in recent years, the industry-wide life and property and casualty insurance premiums represented only 2.6% and 0.7%, respectively, of the PRC’s GDP in 2003. These low penetration rates indicate that the PRC insurance market has substantial potential for further significant growth. Furthermore, penetration rates in the PRC insurance market are significantly lower than those in the more developed markets in Asia, Europe and North America.
The PRC is in the midst of an economic as well as demographic transformation, which we
believe will continue to create significant growth opportunities in the PRC insurance market. In particular, the economic transformation has resulted in the gradual reduction of government sponsored benefits, while at the same time giving rise to a middle class that has growing levels of disposable income, and the demographic transformation is expected to result in an increase in demand for insurance-related products due to the increase in the percentage of the population aged 65 or older. Moreover, we believe the economic transformation in the PRC will create opportunities for other consumer financial products and services, such as credit cards and home mortgages. In addition, we expect to see an increase in demand for more sophisticated and diversified consumer financial products and services, such as trust, securities and related services. We believe that, as a leading PRC insurance group with the ability to provide multiple financial services and products, we are well-positioned to capture these opportunities.
OUR STRENGTHS
We are one of the largest and most profitable and most innovative insurance companies in the PRC. Our principal strengths include:
( A leading insurance franchise with a well-recognized brand name;

概況
本公司是中國領先的保險集團公司，有能力提供多元化金融服務及產品。本公司的目標是成為以保險業務為核心的世界領先的多元化金融服務集團，持續獲得穩定的利潤增長及讓股東獲得穩定回報。本公司的戰略是通過公司的多渠道分銷網絡，以統一的品牌向客戶提供多種金融產品和服務，尤其是人壽保險與財產保險產品。我們擁有成熟的公司治理和內部控制經驗、國際經驗深厚的管理團隊、先進的信息技術平台、集中的客戶數據庫以及統一的財務、風險和人力資源管理制度來使我們的戰略得以逐步實現。本公司的多元化金融服務平台使本公司能夠綜合利用公司的各種資源，促進交叉銷售，並提高成本效益。而且，本公司的企業文化突出為股東創造價值，並在產品管理、客戶服務、分銷和公司治理等方面與國際慣例接軌。這有助於本公司維持自己在中國保險行業的領先地位。本公司擁有中國保險行業最知名的品牌之一，尤其是在個人壽險方面，而且在中國發展了廣泛的客戶群。截至2003 年12 月31 日，本公司擁有超過2,700 萬名壽險客戶和400 萬名產險客戶。本公司還在中國發展了最大的分銷網絡之一。截至2003 年12 月31 日，本公司擁有70 家分公司、超過3,600 家分支機構、個人壽險產品銷售代理人180,000 多名、團體保險和財產保險產品銷售和營銷員工8,000 多名。本公司不斷追求創新方法，更好地為客戶服務；創新不僅使本公司抓住各種市場機遇，而且使公司能夠迅速適應中國快速變化的市場條件。
根據本公司按照中國公認會計準則編製的財務數據和按照中國公認會計準則計算並由中國國家統計局和中國保監會公佈的中國保險行業數據：
• 2002 年本公司位居中國人壽保險市場佔有率第二。另外， 2003 年，本公司人壽保險毛承保保費及保單費收入佔中國人壽保險業保費總收入的比例大約為19.6%；
• 2002 年本公司位居中國財產保險市場佔有率第三。另外， 2003 年，本公司財產保險毛承保保費及保單費收入佔中國財產保險業保費總收入的比例大約為9.7%；
• 本公司2001 年和2002 年的淨利潤在中國所有保險公司中位居第一；而且
• 截至2002 年12 月31 日本公司資產總額在中國所有保險公司中位居第二。
本公司過去三年來在整體保險經營方面獲得了強勁增長。特別是，本公司2002 年的毛承保保費及保單費收入增加了42.6% ，從2001 年的人民幣409.55 億元增加到人民幣584.20 億元， 2003 年進一步增加了8.1% ，增加到人民幣631.34 億元。
近期發展
2003 年9 月29 日，本公司之子公司XXX信託投資有限責任公司，即XXX信託，與中國銀行簽訂了股權轉讓協議，根據該協議，XXX信託同意收購中國銀行在福建亞洲銀行中50% 的權益。福建亞洲銀行是一家合資銀行，在中國主要從事外匯商業銀行業務，這次收購對價為1,830 萬美元。在此之前，•豐銀行與中亞財務有限公司簽訂了獨立的股權轉讓協議，根據該協議，•豐銀行同意收購中亞財務有限公司在福建亞洲銀行中50% 的權益。隨後，XXX信託與•豐銀行簽訂了合資合同，根據該合同，XXX信託同意出資2,300 萬美元，再取得福建亞洲銀行23% 的權益。2004 年2 月19 日，福建亞洲銀行更名為XXX銀行有限責任公司（以下簡稱「XXX銀行」），成為XXX信託擁有73% 股權的子公司。我們計劃利用XXX銀行這一金融平台，發展個人金融業務，包括在法律法規允許時，發行信用卡以及開展房產按揭貸款服務等。本公司相信這些金融業務將進一步加強我們的金融服務平台，增強我們向客戶提供包括保險、證券、銀行、養老保險基金管理和信用卡業務等多元化金融服務的能力，服務內容參閱「業務 — 近期發展」一節。
市場機遇
過去10 年中，中國保險市場成為世界上增長最快的保險市場之一，按照中國國家統計局公布的數據，全行業保費從1994 年的人民幣500 億元增長到2003 年的人民幣3,880 億元。尤其是自2000年以來，增長速度特別快，2002年和2003年全行業保費分別增加到人民幣3,050億元和人民幣3,880億元，增長率分別為44.7% 和27.2% 。儘管近年來保費增長迅速， 2003 年全行業壽險和產險保費分別只佔全國國內生產總值的2.6% 和0.7% 。較低的市場滲透率表明，中國保險市場仍然存在進一步快速增長的潛能。而且，中國保險市場的滲透率遠低於亞洲、歐洲和北美較發達市場的滲透率。
中國目前處於經濟和人口結構轉型時期，本公司認為這一趨勢將繼續為中國保險市場創造巨大的增長機會。特別是，中國經濟轉型過程中政府直接提供的福利逐漸減少，同時，正在發展壯大的中產階級可支配的收入也不斷增加，而且人口轉型中65 歲以上人口的比例會不斷增加，預期將引起保險相關產品需求的增加。而且，本公司認為，經濟的轉型將為其他個人金融產品和服務創造各種機會，如信用卡和住房抵押貸款等業務的增加。另外，本公司預期更複雜、更多元化的個人金融產品和服務之需求會增加，如信託、證券和相關服務等。本公司認為，作為中國能夠提供多元化金融服務及產品的一家領先的保險集團公司，本公司有優勢更好地把握這些機遇。
本公司的實力
本公司是中國最大、最具盈利能力和創新能力的保險公司之一。本公司的主要實力包括：
• 領先的保險地位和知名的品牌；
• 公司企業文化核心體現為為股東創造價值和有效地與國際慣例接軌；
• 完善的公司治理和有效的內部控制；
• 經驗豐富的強大管理層隊伍，集國際專業知識和廣泛的中國保險業經營經驗於一體；
• 強大的多渠道分銷能力；
• 領先、創新的客戶服務；
• 突出更有盈利性的期繳保費個人壽險產品；
• 強大的投資管理能力；
• 領先的信息技術系統；及
