ESTABLISHES NEW ERA IN MANAGEMENT SERVICES
BENCHMARK OF PROPERTY AND FACILITY MANAGEMENT IN ASIA

(Hong Kong, 8 December 2003) - Synergis Management Services Limited ("Synergis"), a leading provider of comprehensive property and facility management services in Hong Kong, celebrated its 25th anniversary today.

Professor Woo Chia-Wei, Non-executive Chairman of Synergis Holdings Limited ("the Synergis Group" / the "Group") (stock code: 2340), said, "I am delighted to see the substantial progress and achievements that Synergis has made in the past 25 years. I am also very honored to have the opportunity to participate in the Board of the Group, witnessing its rapid growth and numerous breakthroughs. While celebrating the notable milestones achieved in the past decade, we are also enthusiastically looking forward to the Group's next stage of growth and industry dominance."

Synergis was established as a subsidiary of the Hsin Chong Group in 1978. After 25 years of steady growth and development, the Group has achieved its position as one of the leaders in the property and facility management industry in Hong Kong. Furthermore, on 9 October this year, the Group sets a new milestone for the industry in Hong Kong and China by being the first property and facility management company in Hong Kong to be listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

Synergis currently manages more than 210 properties and facilities, comprising of more than 150,000 residential units and approximately 1.33 million square meters in gross floor area of industrial and commercial properties. Meanwhile, Synergis has also successfully explored the vast and prospective facility management market in the mainland through a series of strategic joint ventures, in view of becoming the benchmark of property and facility management industry in Asia.

Recapping on the most outstanding achievements that Synergis has made over the past 25 years, Mr. C. H. Fan, Managing Director of the Group said, "Apart from being successfully listed earlier this year, we are most proud of Synergis's transformation into a total solutions provider for property and facility management services from a traditional property management company. In addition, our professional image and commitment to establishing closer tides with our customers were reflected in our newly launched English brand name "Synergis" and our energetic company logo."

With over 20 years of dedications and hard work, Synergis has established a strong foundation and reputation in the property management industry. In view of the business potential in Hong Kong's facility management market brought forward by the increasing importance of corporate outsourcing, the management of Synergis started developing the facility management business three years ago, and is actively seeking to capture the enormous development potential of the facility management market in the PRC.

Having established business presences in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen in the first quarter of 2003, the Group has recently signed a joint-venture agreement with Shui On Group regarding the establishment of business operations in Shanghai. The Group will become an exclusive provider of premium property and facility management services for Shui On Group's properties in Shanghai. "Given Shui On Group's vast development scale in Shanghai's property market, we believe the cooperation is going to assist Synergis in opening the Shanghai market and achieving satisfactory business development in Shanghai."

Leveraging on its accumulated skills and experiences, the Synergis Group has achieved outstanding results in the area of facility management. In recognition of the Group's dedications and contributions to the development of the facility management industry, Synergis has been awarded the 2003 FAME Award by the Hong Kong Institute of Facility Management.

"Apart from striving to create new milestones for the Group, we consider social responsibility a very important aspect for our company. On this very special day of our 25th Anniversary, together with Dr. Geoffrey Yeh, Chairman of the Hsin Chong Group, we will be contributing HK$2,500,000 to The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. We believe their excellence and sophistication in education is going to benefit numerous students, nurturing future talents for the city of Hong Kong." commented Professor Woo Chia-Wei.

"Looking into the future, there are unlimited potential for mainland property management and facility management industry development. Especially with the PRC's entry into the World Trade Organization furthering opening the local market, the Greater China Region is going to become the Group's major area of development for the future. Leveraging on Synergis's experiences in the industry, we will be able to provide major PRC corporations as well as Multi-National-Corporations with sophisticated and premium management services. Building on our strongly established foundation, Synergis will strive to reach new highs through continuous business developments." concluded Mr. Fan.
