Page 3 of 18

Notes to Statement of Financial Position: (a) Total assets decreased by $54.1 million (3.4%) due mainly to lower cash and cash equivalents ($77.0 million). This was partially offset by higher property, plant and equipment ($9.4 million), higher interest in associate ($4.0 million) and higher trade and other receivables ($7.5 million). The increase in property, plant and equipment was due mainly to the addition of new commercial spaces, rail operating equipment, new buses and taxis. The increase in interest in associate was due mainly to currency translation gain relating to the financial statements of a foreign associate. The increase in trade and other receivables was due mainly to advances for bus purchases. (b) Total liabilities decreased by $23.8 million (2.9%) due mainly to lower trade and other payables ($16.9 million), lower deferred grant ($5.6 million) as well as lower tax liabilities ($7.9 million). The decrease in trade and other payables was attributable to payments made for property, plant and equipment. This was partially offset by higher provisions ($6.7 million) mainly for taxi insurance and outstanding accident cases.

Notes to Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows: (a) Net cash inflow from operating activities of $57.6 million for 2Q FY2012 and $141.8m for 1H FY2012 were lower compared to $73.6 million for 2Q FY2011 and $155.8m for 1H FY2011, due mainly to higher payment of income taxes and lower cash generated from operations. Net cash outflow from investing activities of $67.7 million for 2Q FY2012 and $116.9m for 1H FY2012 were higher compared to $35.7 million for 2Q FY2011 and $74.7m for 1H FY2011, due mainly to higher payment for property, plant and equipment. Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $112.3 million and $77.2 million in 2Q FY2012 and 1H FY2012 respectively were higher than corresponding periods last year. This is the result of lower net cash inflow from operating activities and higher net cash outflow from investing activities.

Operating profits were lower by $13.9 million (24.9%) in 2Q FY2012 and $17.7 million (17.3%) in 1H FY2012 due mainly to higher total operating expenses, partially offset by higher revenue and other operating income.

16 3,011 481,362 102,172

(37.5) (28.1) 6.8 (17.3)

Revenue from Train operations increased by $7.9 million (6.0%) in 2Q FY2012 and $13.3 million (5.1%) in 1H FY2012 as a result of higher ridership, partially offset by lower average fare for MRT. Operating profit decreased by $7.5 million (24.7%) in 2Q FY2012 and $12.6 million (21.8%) in 1H FY2012 due mainly to higher energy costs and staff and related expenses, partially offset by lower depreciation. Staff and related expenses were higher due mainly to increased headcount for the operation of Circle Line, impact of salary adjustments and higher CPF contributions. Revenue from Bus operations increased by $1.1 million (2.0%) in 2Q FY2012 and $2.9 million (2.7%) in 1H FY2012 due mainly to higher ridership. Operating loss of $2.6 million in 2Q FY2012 as compared to operating profit of $1.4 million in 2Q FY2011 was due mainly to higher diesel cost and staff and related expenses, partially offset by higher revenue. The same reasons contributed to the operating loss of $6.2 million in 1H FY2012 as compared to the operating profit of $1.1 million in 1H FY2011.

Page 13 of 18

Taxi revenue increased by $5.7 million (24.7%) in 2Q FY2012 and $10.4 million (22.6%) in 1H FY2012 due mainly to higher rental revenue from a larger average hired out fleet. Operating profit decreased by $0.3 million (68.5%) in 2Q FY2012 and $0.7 million (57.1%) in 1H FY2012 due mainly to higher depreciation and insurance cost, partially offset by higher revenue. Rental revenue from commercial spaces increased by $1.4 million (7.3%) in 2Q FY2012 and $3.2 million (9.0%) in 1H FY2012 as a result of increased space following the redevelopment of commercial spaces at various MRT stations. Consequently, operating profit also increased by $1.3 million (8.7%) in 2Q FY2012 and $2.7 million (9.7%) in 1H FY2012 as compared to the previous corresponding periods. Advertising revenue increased by $0.4 million (6.3%) in 2Q FY2012 and $1.3 million (10.0%) in 1H FY2012 as compared to the previous corresponding periods. Operating profit also increased marginally by $0.3 million (6.6%) in 2Q FY2012 and $0.1 million (1.0%) in 1H FY2012. Higher revenue is partially offset by higher depreciation and other operating expenses. Revenue and operating profit for Engineering and Other Services in 2Q FY2012 decreased by $1.5 million (20.6%) and $3.0 million (77.2%) respectively. This was due mainly to the absence of receipts from Nakheel following the termination of Palm Jumeirah operation and maintenance contract in Aug 2010. Revenue increased by $1.5 million (12.1%) for 1H FY2012 largely due to higher revenue from external fleet maintenance, partially offset by lower receipt of payment from Nakheel. Operating profit improved by $1.3 million (57.3%) for 1H FY2012 due mainly to higher revenue from external fleet maintenance and lower operating expenses.

6.

REVIEW OF PROSPECTS STATEMENT The results for 2Q FY2012 are consistent with the prospects statement issued during the announcement of the 1Q FY2012 results.

7.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In the opinion of the Directors, no item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature has arisen since 1 October 2011 to the date of this announcement which is likely to affect materially the results of the Group for 2Q FY2012.

8.

PROSPECTS Group revenue is expected to be higher in 3Q FY2012 and the next 12 months as compared to the corresponding period last year due to expected increase in ridership. With the opening of all Circle Line stages, the average weekday ridership for Circle Line has increased to about 300,000. The 1% net fare adjustment approved by the Public Transport Council for trains and bus fares will take effect from 8 October 2011. However, increasing cost pressures particularly energy costs and staff and related costs are expected to impact the Groups performance in 3Q FY2012 and the next 12 months. If diesel cost remains at the current high level, this will continue to impact the profitability and result in an impairment of the Bus business. Staff and related costs will be higher due mainly to increased headcount with the operation of Circle Line Stages 4 and 5 and higher CPF rates. With the increase in operating costs, the profitability of the Group in FY2012 may not be maintained at previous years level.
