GENESIS EMERGING MARKETS FUND LIMITED PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT The Directors of Genesis Emerging Markets Fund Limited announce results for the year ended 30th June, 2007 as follows: 2007 2006 US$ US$ Total net assets 951,666,480 647,801,722 (at mid-market prices) Net asset value per Participating Preference Share 70.51 48.00 (at mid-market prices) Total Return per Participating 22.49 11.07 Preference Share Comment - As at 30th June, 2007, the net asset value per Participating Preference Share was US$70.51. This compares with US$59.15 at 31st December, 2006 and US$48.00 at 30th June, 2006 (all figures based on mid-market prices). The Directors do not recommend a dividend. The year has again been a satisfying one for your Fund. Over the year its net asset value, measured on mid-prices in US dollars, rose 46.9% to US$ 70.51 per share, compared to an increase of 45.5% in the MSCI Emerging Market Free Index. The net asset value of your Fund has now increased for six years in a row. At year end the total assets measured on midprices, in the Fund were US$951.7 million, up from US$647.8 million a year earlier. The discount to net asset value ranged between 7.8% and 11.0% during this year. It is clear that the trend to increased corporate profitability in emerging markets is being maintained. It is also exciting to see the considerable development of many local stock markets, which continue to increase in importance as a financing mechanism for companies in developing countries. This is demonstrated by the volume of new investment opportunities becoming available in the Fund's investment markets. Emerging markets indices have seen increases of 30% plus every year for the last four, a level of performance from the asset class that seems unlikely to be sustained. That said our view is that the outlook for growth and profitability remains positive, and believe that emerging markets continue to offer attractive potential returns to investors. We therefore remain optimistic about the Fund's prospects over the coming year.
