Item 2.      Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On February 7, 2003, the Company completed several transactions that will enable it to expand its operations to the British Virgin Islands and Barbados, while increasing its presence in the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands. Specifically, the Company has acquired equity and other interests in four companies providing potable water services in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, Barbados, the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands and a fifth company providing management and engineering services to these companies, for an aggregate of approximately $25.5 million (subject to post-closing adjustment) and 185,714 of the Company’s ordinary shares, which the Company is required to register for resale (collectively, the “Acquisitions”). The Company’s new wholly-owned subsidiary, DesalCo Limited, has also entered into an agreement to sell 100% of the non-voting stock of Ocean Conversion (BVI) Ltd., a company providing potable water services in the British Virgin Islands, to Sage Water Holdings (BVI) Ltd for $2.1 million in cash (the “Sage Sale”). The Company and Sage Water Holdings (BVI) Ltd. have not yet agreed on a date for closing of the Sage Sale. In addition to these transactions, the Company has also entered into an agreement to acquire a 13.5% interest in Waterfields Company Limited, a company providing potable water services in Nassau, the Bahamas (the “Waterfields Acquisition”). As part of the Waterfields Acquisition, the Company has conducted a tender offer outside the United States and has agreed to purchase an additional 64.7% of the remaining shares of Waterfields for approximately BAH$6.7 million or U.S.$6.7 million. Although the Company expects to complete the Waterfields Acquisition in March 2003, there is no assurance that the Waterfields Acquisition will be consummated because it is contingent upon the receipt of certain governmental approvals and satisfaction of certain closing conditions.

     The Company financed the Acquisitions and will finance the Waterfields Acquisition with the proceeds from loan facilities from Scotiabank (Cayman Islands) Ltd. The facilities consist of a $2 million revolving line of credit, a $20 million seven-year term loan and a $17.1 million six month term loan. The revolving line of credit bears interest at a floating base rate as established by Cayman Islands Class A licensed bank from time to time and the term loans bear interest at an annually adjusted floating rate of LIBOR plus 1.5% to 3.0% depending the ratio of the Company’s consolidated debt to consolidated earnings before interest and depreciation. The borrowings under the bank facilities are payable on demand and in the event of a default. Management intends to replace a portion of the bank financing in the future with debt, equity or hybrid financing. The Company presently does not have any agreements for such financing.

     The following is a summary of the terms of each of the Acquisitions, the Waterfields Acquisition and the Sage Sale. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to each of the agreements attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 through 2.15 and Exhibit 10.1, which are incorporated herein by reference.

DesalCo Limited – Bermuda

     The Company has acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of DesalCo Limited, a Cayman Islands company, operating in Bermuda, for approximately $11.4 million (subject to post-closing adjustment) from William and Margaret Andrews.

     The Company has acquired all of the voting stock and certain profit sharing rights relating to Ocean Conversion (Cayman) Limited, a Cayman Islands company, certain profit sharing rights relating to Ocean Conversion (BVI) Ltd., a British Virgin Islands Company and the Company’s new wholly-owned subsidiary, DesalCo Limited, has acquired 50% of the issued and outstanding voting stock of Ocean Conversion (BVI) Ltd., from North-American Mortgage and Finance Corporation and Transcontinental Finance Corporation Ltd., for approximately $14.1 million (subject to post-closing adjustment) and 185,714 of the Company’s ordinary shares.

     Ocean Conversion (Cayman) Limited sells desalinated water under various licenses and agreements to the Water Authority-Cayman, which in turn distributes the water to customers outside our exclusive licensed area via pipeline. All of the non-voting stock of Ocean Conversion (Cayman) Limited is owned by DesalCo Limited and was acquired by the Company in the DesalCo transaction as previously discussed. As a result of these two transactions, the Company owns 100% of the voting and non-voting stock of Ocean Conversion (Cayman) Limited.

Within five (5) working days of such determination, in the event that the amount so retained exceeds the amount so determined the difference shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Vendors and in the event that the amount so retained is less than the amount so determined the difference shall be paid by the Vendors to the Purchaser.

3.5 The Purchase Price of US$9,400,000.00 as provided for in clause 3.1, as adjusted by clauses 3.2 to 3.4 (inclusive) above shall be further adjusted by increasing the same by a simple interest factor calculated on the same at the rate of 10% per annum (based on a 365 day year) calculated daily for the period of July 1, 2002 until the date of Completion.

3.6 The Purchase Price shall be paid, at the option of the Vendors, by way of bankers draft drawn on a Cayman Islands class A licensed bank or wire transfer to such account as the Vendors may designate.

5.7 On Completion the Purchaser will pay the Purchase Price, in the manner as set out in clause 3.6.

6. WARRANTIES

6.1 Subject to all matters or things disclosed in the Disclosure Letter, the Vendors jointly and severally warrant to the Purchaser that, as at the date hereof and, again, as at Completion, the Warranties set out in Schedule 2 are true and accurate in all respects.

6.2 Each of the Warranties is without prejudice to any other warranty or undertaking and, except where expressly stated, no clause contained in this Agreement governs or limits the extent or application of any other clause.

6.3 The rights and remedies of the Purchaser in respect of any breach of the Warranties pursuant to clause 6.1, clause 6.6 or clause 6.8 shall not be affected by Completion, by any failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right or remedy or by any other event or matter whatsoever, except a specific and duly authorised written waiver or release.

6.4 The information in and incorporated in the Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be disclosed again at Completion.


10

6.5 The Vendors shall disclose in writing to the Purchaser any matter or thing (other than those matters or things already disclosed in the Disclosure Letter) which may to the knowledge of the Vendors arise or, regardless of when they occurred, become known to the Vendors after the date hereof and before Completion which is inconsistent with any of the Warranties or which might make any such Warranties inaccurate or misleading at Completion.

6.6 If the Vendors fail to disclose as required by clause 6.5, the Purchaser's remedy shall be whatever remedies are available to the Purchaser without limitation under this Agreement or otherwise.

6.7 In the event of any of such matters or things as are mentioned in clause 6.5 above being disclosed to the Purchaser before Completion then, if the aggregate effect of such matters or things are such that the Business of the DesalCo Group is materially and adversely affected, the Purchaser may, prior to Completion, rescind this Agreement by notice in writing to the Vendors. For the purposes of this clause 6.7, the Business of the DesalCo Group shall be deemed to be materially and adversely affected if the Purchaser, had it known of such matters or things, might reasonably have been expected to reduce the Purchase Price by US$2,360,000.00 (Two Million Three Hundred and Sixty Thousand United States Dollars) or more. Upon such rescission this Agreement shall cease to have effect and each party shall have no further claim under it against the other. Other than as provided for in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to rescind this Agreement.

6.8 For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the provisions of clause 6.7 above, in the event of any such matters or things as are mentioned in clause 6.5 being disclosed to the Purchaser before Completion:

(i) which do not give rise to the Purchaser's option of recission pursuant to clause 6.7; or

(ii) which do give rise to such option but the Purchaser does not elect to exercise such option;

the Purchaser shall be entitled to claim damages for breach of the terms of this Agreement.

6.9 The Purchaser shall not be entitled to exercise its rights of rescission under clause 6.7 without first giving the Vendors seven days in which to remedy such matter or thing to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchaser and, if necessary, the date set for Completion shall be deferred to such later date (being no later than the later of (i) seven days from the giving of notice by the Purchaser of his decision to rescind and (ii) the date on which Completion would have taken place had the right of rescission not arisen)


11

as shall give the Vendors the opportunity to remedy the matter or thing to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchaser.

6.10 The provisions of Schedule 4 shall operate to limit the liability of the Vendors under and in respect of the provisions of clauses 3.4 and 6 of this Agreement and the Warranties set out in Schedule 2 of this Agreement; provided that, such limitations shall in no way be exclusive limitations and shall not prevent the Vendors or the Purchaser from relying on any other provisions of this Agreement or any legal principle with a view to limiting their liability hereunder.

6.11 The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Vendors as follows:

The Purchaser is a company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Purchaser has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. All corporate acts and other proceedings required to be taken by the Purchaser to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and properly taken. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

6.12 The Purchaser acknowledges that it has not entered into this Agreement in reliance upon any warranty, representation or promise other than those set forth in this Agreement.

7. RESTRICTIVE AGREEMENTS

7.1 For the purpose of assuring to the Purchaser the full benefit of the businesses and goodwill of the Company, each of the Vendors undertakes by way of further consideration for the obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement as a separate and independent agreement (which shall survive Completion) that they will not, unless performing or required under the Engineering Services Agreement or the DWEER Distributorship Agreement, or acting as a director of the Purchaser or otherwise with the consent of the Purchaser:

7.1.1    at any time after Completion disclose to any person,
         and, where the same is in his possession or control,
         shall use his best endeavours to prevent the
         publication or disclosure, without the prior written
         consent of the Purchaser, such consent not to be
         unreasonably withheld, of any information concerning
         the business, accounts or finances of any Water
         Supply Company or any of its clients' or


12

                           customers' transactions or affairs, which may, or may

                           months after Completion or such earlier date as the
                           Purchaser may agree to in writing;

                  7.1.3    for a period of seven years after Completion, without
                           the Purchaser's prior written consent, either alone
                           or jointly with or as manager, agent for or employee
                           of or consultant to any person, directly or

                           debentures of any person listed on any stock exchange

                           not exercise control).

8.       DWEER TECHNOLOGY

After Completion the Purchaser agrees that it will cause the Company to maintain the DWEER Transfer Agreement in full force and effect, and undertakes to ensure that the Company completes the transfer of technology and fulfils its other obligations as set out therein. The Purchaser agrees that this Share Sale Agreement creates no relationship with DWEER-Tech and does not allow the Purchaser to make any claims against DWEER-Tech under this Share Sale Agreement.

9. GENERAL

9.1 Subject to the terms of any confidentiality agreements binding on the Purchaser, except as provided herein, and where necessary for Completion by disclosing the minimum amount of information necessary, no announcement of any kind shall be made with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement unless specifically agreed in writing between the parties.

9.4 Save as otherwise agreed in writing or provided herein, all expenses incurred by or on behalf of the parties, including all fees of agents, representatives, solicitors, accountants and actuaries employed by any of them in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of this Agreement shall be borne solely by the party who incurred the liability.

9.5 Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement, both as regards the dates and periods specifically mentioned and as to any dates and periods which may by agreement in writing between or on behalf of the Vendors and the Purchaser be substituted for them.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall thereupon negotiate in good faith in order to agree the terms of a mutually satisfactory provision to be substituted for the provision so found to be void or unenforceable.

9.8 This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, supersedes all previous agreements and understandings between the parties with respect hereto, and may not be modified except by an instrument in writing signed by the duly authorised representatives of the parties.

15

against the other party in connection with this Agreement in any other court of competent jurisdiction or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction.

10.3 The parties hereto waive any objection which they may have to the courts of the Cayman Islands on the grounds of venue or forum non-conveniens or any similar grounds as regards proceedings in connection with this Agreement and they consent to service of process by mail or by any other manner permitted by the relevant law.

10.4 Without prejudice of the rights of the Purchaser to employ any method of service permitted by Cayman Islands Law, the Vendors hereby irrevocably appoint Campbells, Attorneys-at-Law, as their authorised agent for service of process in the Cayman Islands. Any claim, form, writ, summons, judgement or other notice of legal process shall be sufficiently served on the Vendors if delivered to that agent at its address for the time being. The Vendors shall not revoke the authority of that agent. If for any reason that such agent no longer serves as agent of the Vendors to receive service of process, the Vendors shall promptly appoint another such agent and immediately advise the Purchaser of that appointment.

AGREEMENT TO AMEND SHARE SALE AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT TO AMEND SHARE SALE AGREEMENT is made this 29th day of November 2002

The Share Sale Agreement provided at Clause 9.8 that the Share Sale Agreement could be modified by an instrument in writing signed by the duly authorised representatives of the parties.

The completion of the Share Sale Agreement was made conditional on the happening of certain events on or before November 29, 2002, and the parties have agreed that the conditions precedent to the Share Sale Agreement are unlikely to be satisfied by that date and accordingly the parties have agreed to enter into this amending agreement to provide for the later completion date and the consequences thereof.

NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED as follows:

1. Clauses 4.2 and 4.3 of the Share Sale Agreement are each amended by deleting "November 29, 2002", wherever it appears, and substituting therefor "December 31, 2002".

2. Clause 5.1 of the Share Sale Agreement is amended by deleting "November 29, 2002", and substituting therefor "December 31, 2002".

3. The Share Sale Agreement is amended by adding the following clauses after clause 3.7:


"3.8 Only in the event that both or either of:

(i) the "Total Current Assets of DesalCo Group" and "Total Current Liabilities of DesalCo Group"; and/or

(ii) the "Actual Gross Equity of OCC" and the "Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI"

have not been agreed or determined pursuant to clause 3.2 or 3.3, respectively, within 2 Business Days prior to Completion, then the amount of cash payable at Completion by the Purchaser to the Vendors shall be an initial payment (the "Initial Payment") being the Purchase Price that would have been payable had Completion taken place on 29th November, 2002.

3.9 In the event that clause 3.8 becomes applicable, within 5 Business Days after the "Total Current Assets of DesalCo Group" and "Total Current Liabilities of DesalCo Group" have been determined by the Company's Auditors and the "Actual Gross Equity of OCC" and the "Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI" have been determined by OCC's Auditors and OCBVI's Auditors respectively pursuant to clause 3.2 and 3.3 or otherwise agreed between the parties an adjusting payment, calculated as the Purchase Price less the Initial Payment (the "Adjusting Payment"), shall be made by the Purchaser to the Vendors, if the Adjusting Payment is a positive amount, or by the Vendors to the Purchaser, if the Adjusting Payment is a negative amount. All determinations to be made by Auditors under clauses 3.2 and 3.3 shall be made within 60 days of Completion unless the parties have already agreed the relevant amounts between themselves."

4. The Share Sale Agreement is amended by inserting in clause 5.7 after "Purchase Price" the words "or the Initial Payment as calculated pursuant to clause 3.8, if applicable"

5. Except as expressly modified by this Agreement, the Share Sale Agreement continues in full force and effect according to its terms.

THIS THIRD AGREEMENT TO AMEND SHARE SALE AGREEMENT is made this 31st day of
January, 2003

BETWEEN:

(1) CONSOLIDATED WATER CO, LTD., formerly Cayman Water Company Limited, of Trafalgar Place, West Bay Road, P.O. Box 1114 GT, Grand Cayman (hereinafter "the Purchaser") of the first part; and

(2) WILLIAM T. ANDREWS and MARGARET D. ANDREWS of 12 Chapel Road, Paget, PG 02, Bermuda (the "Vendors") of the second part.

WHEREAS:

The parties hereto entered into a Share Sale Agreement dated October 4, 2002 (the "Share Sale Agreement").

The Share Sale Agreement provided at Clause 9.8 that the Share Sale Agreement could be modified by an instrument in writing signed by the duly authorised representatives of the parties.

The Share Sale Agreement was amended to provide for a later completion date and the consequences thereof by an Agreement to Amend Share Sale Agreement dated November 29, 2002 and a Second Agreement to Amend Share Sale Agreement dated December 30,2002 (together the "Amending Agreements").

The completion of the Share Sale Agreement as amended by the Amending Agreements was made conditional on the happening of certain events on or before January 31, 2003, and the parties have agreed that the conditions precedent to the Share Sale Agreement as amended by the Amending Agreements are unlikely to be satisfied by that date and accordingly the parties have agreed to enter into this third amending agreement to provide for the later completion date and the consequences thereof.

NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED as follows:-

1. Clauses 4.2, 4.3 and 5.1 of the Share Sale Agreement as amended by the Amending Agreement are each amended by deleting "January 31, 2003", wherever it appears, and substituting therefor "February 14, 2003".


2. Clause 3 of the Share Sale Agreement as amended by the Amending Agreements is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

"3. PURCHASE CONSIDERATION

3.1 The Purchase Price for the Shares shall be US$9,400,000.00, subject to adjustment pursuant to clauses 3.2 to 3.5 inclusive in the order that such clauses are set out below;

3.2 The purchase price of US$9,400,000.00 provided for in clause 3.1 shall be adjusted (by increasing if the amount is positive or decreasing if the amount is negative the same as necessary) by an amount (if any) equal to "Total Current Assets of DesalCo Group" minus "Total Current Liabilities of DesalCo Group" as at the end of the calendar month immediately prior to Completion. "Total Current Assets of DesalCo Group" and "Total Current Liabilities of DesalCo Group" shall be determined from the consolidated balance sheet of the DesalCo Group as at the end of the calendar month immediately prior to Completion. These amounts shall be initially determined from the Company's balance sheet in its management accounts as at 31 December 2002 for the purpose of calculating the Initial Payment (as defined in clause 3.6 below) and, subsequently, shall be determined at the expense of the Purchaser by the Company's Auditors for the purposes of calculating the Adjusting Payment (as defined in clause 3.8 below).

3.3 The purchase price of US$9,400,000.00 provided for in clause 3.1 as adjusted by clause 3.2 shall be further adjusted (by increasing if the amount is positive or decreasing if the amount is negative the same as necessary) by an amount equal to:

(i) 9.09% of "Actual Gross Equity of OCC" minus "Calculated Gross Equity of OCC" as at the end of the calendar month immediately prior to Completion; and

(ii) 7.14% of "Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI" minus "Calculated Gross Equity of OCBVI" as at the end of the calendar month immediately prior to Completion.

"Actual Gross Equity of OCC", "Calculated Gross Equity of OCC", "Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI" and "Calculated Gross Equity of OCBVI" shall have the meanings as defined in the TCF/NAMF Agreement.

3.4 The parties agree that the purchase price of US$9,400,000.00 provided for in clause 3.1 as adjusted by clause 3.2 and clause 3.3 above is based on the assumption that the business of the Water Supply Companies (excluding for the purposes of this clause only, WCL), shall, from the end of the calendar month immediately prior to Completion until the date of


Completion, be conducted and operated in its usual and normal manner and that they do not suffer or incur any extraordinary, non-recurring or unusual losses or expenses or make any dividend payments. To the extent that such losses or expenses are incurred or dividends paid during the period aforementioned, the purchase price of US$9,400,000.00 provided for in clause 3.1 as adjusted by clause 3.2 and clause 3.3 above shall be decreased as follows:

(a) to the full extent of the impact of such event on shareholders' equity of the DesalCo Group during the period aforementioned. Shareholders' equity of the DesalCo Group shall be as agreed by the parties and in the absence of agreement shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions hereof; and

(b) by 7.14% of the impact of such event on Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI during the period aforementioned as determined under the TCF/NAMF Agreement; and

(c) by 9.09% of the impact of such event on Actual Gross Equity of OCC during the period aforementioned as determined under the TCF/NAMF Agreement.

In the absence of agreement under sub-clause (a) above or determination of Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI or Actual Gross Equity of OCC under the TCF/NAMF Agreement by or on Completion the Purchaser may retain such amount of the Purchase Price as is reasonable and following Completion the amount of the decrease in the Purchase Price shall be determined as soon as reasonably possible at the expense of the Purchaser (i) by the Company's auditors (in the case of a reduction under sub-clause (a) above) or (ii) under the TCF/NAMF Agreement (in the case of a deduction pursuant to sub-clause (b) or (c) above). Within five (5) working days of such determination, in the event that the amount so retained exceeds the amount so determined the difference shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Vendors and in the event that the amount so retained is less than the amount so determined the difference shall be paid by the Vendors to the Purchaser.

3.5 The Purchase Price of US$9,400,000.00 as provided for in clause 3.1, as adjusted by clauses 3.2 to 3.4 (inclusive) above shall be further adjusted by increasing the same by a simple interest factor calculated on the same at five rate of 10% per annum (based on a 365 day year) calculated daily for the period of July 1,2002 until the date of Completion.

3.6 On Completion, an initial payment of the Purchase Price calculated based upon the management accounts described in clause 3.2 above (the "Initial Payment") shall be paid, at the option of the Vendors, by way of bankers


draft drawn on a Cayman Islands class A licensed bank or wire transfer to such account as the Vendors may designate.

3.7 In the event that the Purchaser completes the purchase of the shares held by BACO in WCL "within 180 days of Completion hereunder, the Vendors agree that they will pay to the Purchaser a sum equal to 1,911 multiplied by US$690.00 minus any lesser amount payable to BACO per share under such sale
i.e. 1911 x {US$690 - BACO per share price). This clause shall survive Completion.

3.8 Within 5 Business Days after the "Total Current Assets of DesalCo Group" and "Total Current Liabilities of DesalCo Group" have been determined by the Company's Auditors and the "Actual Gross Equity of OCC" and the "Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI" have been determined by OCC's Auditors and OCBVI's Auditors respectively pursuant to clause 3.2 and 3.3 or otherwise agreed between the parties an adjusting payment, calculated as the Purchase Price based upon such determination less the Initial Payment (the "Adjusting Payment"), shall be made by the Purchaser to the Vendors, if the Adjusting Payment is a positive amount, or by the Vendors to the Purchaser, if the Adjusting Payment is a negative amount. All determinations to be made by Auditors under clauses 3.2 and 3.3 shall be made within 60 days of Completion unless the parties have already agreed the relevant amounts between themselves.

3.9 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, all adjustments required by Clauses 3.2 to 3.5 inclusive to calculate the Purchase Price shall be made as if Completion had occurred on January 31, 2003."

3. Clause 5.7 of the Share Sale Agreement as amended by the Amending Agreements is amended to read as follows:

"On Completion the Purchaser shall pay the Initial Payment as calculated pursuant to and in the manner as set out in clause 3.6.".

4. Except as expressly modified by this Agreement, the Share Sale Agreement as amended by the Amending Agreement continues in full force and effect according to its terms.

6.1. Subject to all matters or things disclosed in the Disclosure Letters, the Vendors jointly and severally warrant to the Purchaser that, as at the date hereof and, again, as at Completion, the Warranties set out in Schedule 2 are true and accurate in all respects.

6.2. Each of the Warranties is without prejudice to any other warranty or undertaking and, except where expressly stated, no clause contained in this Agreement governs or limits the extent or application of any other clause.

6.3. The rights and remedies of the Purchaser in respect of any breach of the Warranties pursuant to clause 6.1, clause 6.6 or clause 6.8 shall not be affected by Completion, by any failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right or remedy or by any other event or matter whatsoever, except a specific and duly authorised written waiver or release.

6.4. The information in and incorporated in the Disclosure Letters shall be deemed to be disclosed again at Completion.

6.5. The Vendors shall disclose in writing to the Purchaser any matter or thing (other than those matters or things already disclosed in the Disclosure Letters) which may to the knowledge of the Vendors arise or, regardless of when they occurred, become known to the Vendors after the date hereof and before Completion which is inconsistent with any of the Warranties or which might make any such Warranties inaccurate or misleading at Completion.

6.6. If the Vendors fail to disclose as required by clause 6.5, the Purchaser's remedy shall be whatever remedies are available to the Purchaser without limitation under this Agreement or otherwise.

6.7. In the event of any of such matters or things as are mentioned in clause 6.5 above being disclosed to the Purchaser before Completion then:

(a) if such matter or thing relates to item 3.1.2 of the OCC Disclosure Letter or item 3.10.1 of the OCBVI Disclosure Letter; or


12

(b) if the aggregate effect of such matters or things are such that the Business is materially and adversely affected;

the Purchaser may, prior to Completion, rescind this Agreement by notice in writing to the Vendors.

For the purposes of clause 6.7(b), the Business shall be deemed to be materially and adversely affected if the Purchaser, had it known of such matters or things, might reasonably have been expected to reduce the Purchase Price by US$3,380,000.00 (Three Million Three Hundred and Eighty Thousand United States Dollars) or more.

Other than as provided for in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to rescind this Agreement. Upon such rescission this Agreement shall cease to have effect and each party shall have no further claim under it against the other.

6.8 For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the provisions of clause 6.7 above, in the event of any such matters or things as are mentioned in clause 6.5 being disclosed to the Purchaser before Completion:

(i) which do not give rise to the Purchaser's option of recission pursuant to clause 6.7; or

(ii) which do give rise to such option but the Purchaser does not elect to exercise such option;

the Purchaser shall be entitled to claim damages for breach of the terms of this Agreement.

6.9 The Purchaser shall not be entitled to exercise its rights of rescission under clause 6.7 without first giving the Vendors seven days in which to remedy such matter or thing to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchaser and, if necessary, the date set for Completion shall be deferred to such later date (being no later than the later of (i) seven days from the giving of notice by the Purchaser of his decision to rescind and (ii) the date on which Completion would have taken place had the right of rescission not arisen) as shall give the Vendors the opportunity to remedy the matter or thing to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchaser.

6.10 The provisions of Schedule 4 shall operate to limit the liability of the Vendors under and in respect of the provisions of clauses 3.4 and 6 of this Agreement and the Warranties set out in Schedule 2 of this Agreement; provided that such limitations shall in no way be exclusive limitations and shall not prevent the Vendors or the Purchaser from relying on any other provisions of this Agreement or any legal principle with a view to limiting their liability hereunder.

6.11 The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Vendors as follows:


13

The Purchaser is a company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Purchaser has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. All corporate acts and other proceedings required to be taken by the Purchaser to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and properly taken. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

6.12 The Purchaser acknowledges that it has not entered into this Agreement in reliance upon any warranty, representation or promise other than those set forth in this Agreement.

7. COVENANTS BY THE PURCHASER

7.1. It is acknowledged and agreed by the parties that the approval of the board of directors of OCBVI is required for the transfer of the OCBVI Shares held by NAMF to the Purchaser hereunder and for the approval of the Assignments referred to in clause 5.7 above and for the acceptance of the resignations of the directors and officers referred to in clause 5.7 above. The Purchaser agrees to use its best efforts at its own expense to conclude and execute an agreement satisfactory to it substantially in the form contained in an email addressed to Glenn Harrigan dated September 18th 2002 with Sage Water Holdings (BVI) Ltd., or other such agreement as is satisfactory to the Purchaser to obtain such approvals and acceptance. Subject to execution of such agreement, the Purchaser agrees to use its best endeavors to cause Sage Water Holdings (BVI) Ltd. to cooperate in the holding of a board meeting or the passing of directors' resolutions (as the case may be) prior to Completion at which the resolutions and matters described at clause 5.7 above are passed, accepted and approved.

7.2. The Purchaser shall on or as soon as possible after Completion secure the full and final release of the Vendors and EGL from the Guarantees (and the Purchaser shall offer its own guarantees upon the same terms as the Guarantees in substitution therefor if necessary to secure such release) and shall procure that the Guarantees are returned to the Vendors or to EGL and the Purchaser shall, pending such release, fully and effectively indemnify the Vendors and EGL and each of them and keep them indemnified against any and all liability, cost or expense of the Vendors and EGL and each of them under or in respect of the Guarantees. In this regard, the Purchaser shall duly execute and deliver to the Vendors the EGL Indemnity and the NAMF Indemnity. The release of EGL from the Guarantee in favour of the Governor of the Cayman Islands shall be in the form set out at Schedule 7 or, in the event that a release in such form cannot be obtained, in such other form as is agreed with or is reasonably acceptable to the Vendors. The releases of the Guarantees in favour of the


14

Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited shall be in such form as is reasonably acceptable to the Vendors.

7.3. The Purchaser shall, on Completion, release EGL from its guarantee in respect to the obligations of OCC in favour of the Purchaser dated 7th November 1994 by duly executing and delivering to the Vendors a release from such guarantee in the form set out in Schedule 7.

Subject to the terms and conditions of any confidentiality agreements binding on the Purchaser, the Vendors agree that the Purchaser may, without any prior notice or consultation with the Vendors, make such announcements and disclosures as may be required pursuant to the relevant laws, rules or regulations relating to the listing or offering of the Purchaser's shares on the NASDAQ Exchange.

8.2.

8.3. This Agreement shall be binding upon each party's successors and assigns but, none of the rights of the parties under this Agreement or the Warranties may be assigned or transferred. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the Vendors agree that the Purchaser may, at its option, assign the right to take title to the OCBVI Shares held by NAMF to DesalCo Limited and such assignment shall be effected by written notice delivered to NAMF by the Purchaser.

8.4. Save as otherwise agreed in writing or provided herein, all expenses incurred by or on behalf of the parties, including all fees of agents, representatives, solicitors, accountants and actuaries employed by any of them in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of this Agreement shall be borne solely by the party who incurred the liability.

8.5. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement, both as regards the dates and periods specifically mentioned and as to any dates and periods which may by agreement in writing between or on behalf of the Vendors and the Purchaser be substituted for them.


15

8.6. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be served by delivering the same by hand or by sending the same by facsimile or reputable courier service and shall be deemed given, if sent by hand, when delivered, if sent by facsimile, upon the date stated in the transmission report or, if sent by courier service, on delivery by the relevant courier service, in each case, to the address set out below or such other address as is notified by the relevant person from time to time, provided that a notice given in accordance with the above but received on a non-working day or after business hours in the place of receipt shall only be deemed to be given on the next working day in that place:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall thereupon negotiate in good faith in order to agree the terms of a mutually satisfactory provision to be substituted for the provision so found to be void or unenforceable.

8.8. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, supersedes all previous agreements and understandings between the parties with respect hereto, and may not be modified except by an instrument in writing signed by the duly authorised representatives of the parties.

other provision except as expressly provided herein, and all conditions, warranties, or other terms implied by statute or common law are hereby excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8.10. This Agreement may be entered into in any number of counterparts and by the parties to it on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

9. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

9.1. This Agreement is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.

9.2.

This clause shall not limit the right of either party hereto to bring proceedings against the other party in connection with this Agreement in any other court of competent jurisdiction or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction.

9.3. The parties hereto waive any objection which they may have to the courts of the Cayman Islands on the grounds of venue or forum non-conveniens or any similar grounds as regards proceedings in connection with this Agreement and they consent to service of process by mail or by any other manner permitted by the relevant law.

The completion of the Share Sale Agreement was made conditional on the happening of certain events on or before November 29, 2002, and the parties have agreed that the conditions precedent to the Share Sale Agreement are unlikely to be satisfied by that date and accordingly the parties have agreed to enter into this amending agreement to provide for a later completion date and the consequences thereof.

1. Clause 3.3 of the Share Sale Agreement is amended by the addition of the following:

a) after the end of Clause 3.3.1.2:

b) after the end of Clause 3.3.2.2:

"3.3.2.3 US$7,166,000.00 if Completion is on or before 1st and 31st December, 2002."

3. The Share Sale Agreement is amended by adding the following clauses after clause 3.6:

"3.7 Only in the event that the "Actual Gross Equity of OCC" and the "Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI" have not been agreed or determined pursuant to clause 3.2 within 2 Business Days prior to Completion, then the amount of cash payable at Completion by the Purchaser to TCP shall be an initial payment (the "Initial Payment") being the Cash Consideration that would have been payable had Completion taken place on 29st November, 2002.

3.8 In the event that clause 3.7 becomes applicable, within 5 Business Days after the "Actual Gross Equity of OCC" and the "Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI" have been determined by OCC's Auditors and OCBVI's Auditors respectively pursuant to clause 3.2 or otherwise agreed between the parties an adjusting payment, calculated as the Cash Consideration less the Initial Payment (the "Adjusting Payment"), shall be made by the Purchaser to TCF, if the Adjusting Payment is a positive amount, or by the Vendors to the Purchaser, if the Adjusting Payment is a negative amount. OCC's Auditors and OCBVI's Auditors shall determine "Actual Gross Equity of OCC" and the "Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI" respectively within 60 days of Completion unless the parties have already agreed the amounts of "Actual Gross Equity of OCC" and the "Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI" between themselves."

4. The Share Sale Agreement is amended by inserting in clause 5.9.1 after "Cash Consideration" the words "or the Initial Payment as calculated pursuant to clause 3.7, if applicable"

5. Except as expressly modified by this Agreement, the Share Sale Agreement continues in full force and effect according to its terms.

1. CONSOLIDATED WATER CO. LTD., formerly Cayman Water Company Limited, of Trafalgar Place, West Bay Road, P.O. Box 1114 GT, Grand Cayman (hereinafter "the Purchaser") of the first part; and

2. NORTH-AMERICAN MORTGAGE & FINANCE CORPORATION OF Elizabethan Square,
George Town, Grand Cayman (hereinafter "NAMF") and TRANSCONTINENTAL FINANCE CORPORATION LIMITED, of Elizabethan Square, George Town, Grand Cayman, (hereinafter "TCF") (together the "Vendors") of the second part.

WHEREAS:

The parties hereto entered into a Share Sale Agreement dated October 4, 2002 (the "Share Sale Agreement").

The Share Sale Agreement provided at Clause 8.8 that the Share Sale Agreement could be modified by an instrument in writing signed by the duly authorised representatives of the parties.

The Share Sale Agreement was amended to provide for a later completion date and the consequences thereof by an Agreement to Amend Share Sale Agreement dated November 29, 2002 and by a Second Agreement to Amend Share Sale Agreement dated December 30, 2002 (together the "Amending Agreements").

The completion of the Share Sale Agreement as amended by the Amending Agreements was made conditional on the happening of certain events on or before January 31, 2003, and the parties have agreed that the conditions precedent to the Share Sale Agreement as amended by the Amending Agreements are unlikely to be satisfied by that date and accordingly the parties have agreed to enter into this third amending agreement to provide for a later completion date and the consequences thereof.

NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED as follows:-

1. Clause 3 of the Share Sale Agreement as amended by the Amending Agreements is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

"3. PURCHASE CONSIDERATION

3.1. The Purchase Price for the Shares and the Assignments shall

be:-


3.1.1. the cash portion of US$14,600,000.00, subject to adjustment pursuant to clauses 3.2 to 3.5 inclusive in the order that such clauses are set out below; and

3.1.2. the allotment and issue at Completion to NAMF of 185,714 fully paid ordinary shares of a nominal or par value of CI$1.00 each in the capital of the Purchaser, credited as fully paid and non assessable ("the Consideration Shares") which Consideration Shares shall entitle NAMF to the benefit of the Registration Rights Agreement.

3.2. The cash portion of US$14,600,000.00 provided for in clause 3.1.1 shall be adjusted (by increasing if the amount is positive or decreasing if the amount is negative the same as necessary) by an amount equal to:

3.2.1. 90.91% of the difference between "Actual Gross Equity of OCC" and "Calculated Gross Equity of OCC"; and

3.2.2. 47.77% of the difference between "Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI" and "Calculated Gross Equity of OCBVI".

"Actual Gross Equity of OCC" is the sum of "Shareholders' Equity" and the "Profit Sharing Agreement Provision" as they appear on the balance sheet of OCC, as at the end of the calendar month immediately prior to Completion. This amount shall be initially determined from the amounts shown on the OCC balance sheet in its management accounts as at 31 December 2002 for the purpose of calculating the Initial Payment (as defined in clause 3.6 below) and, subsequently, shall be determined at the expense of OCC by OCC's Auditors for the purposes of calculating the Adjusting Payment (as defined in clause 3.7 below).

"Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI" is the sum of "Shareholders' Equity" and the "Profit Sharing Provision" as they appear on the balance sheet of OCBVI, as at the end of the calendar month immediately prior to Completion. This amount shall be initially determined from the amounts shown on the OCBVI balance sheet in its management accounts as at 31 December 2002 for the purpose calculating of the Initial Payment (as defined in clause 3.6 below) and, subsequently, shall be determined at the expense of OCBVI by OCBVI's Auditors for the purposes of the Adjusting Payment (as defined in clause 3.7 below).

3.3. For the purposes of clause 3.2:

3.3.1. "Calculated Gross Equity of OCC" shall mean:

3.3.1.1. US$6,291,000 if Completion is on or between 1st and 31st October, 2002.

3.3.1.2. US$6,425,000 if Completion is on or between 1st and 30th November, 2002.


3.3.1.3. US$6,559,000.00 if Completion is on or between 1st and 31st December, 2002.

3.3.1.4. US$6,693,000.00 if Completion is on or between 1st and 31st January, 2003

3.3.2. "Calculated Gross Equity of OCBVI" shall mean:

3.3.2.1. US$6,614,000 if Completion is on or between 1st and 31st of October, 2002.

3.3.2.2. US$6,890,000 if Completion is on or between 1st and 30th November, 2002.

3.3.2.3. US$7,166,000.00 if Completion is on or before 1st and 31st December 2002.

3.3.2.4. US$7,442,000.00 if Completion is on or before 1st and 31st January 2003

3.4. The parties agree that the cash portion of US$14,600,000.00 provided for in clause 3.1.1 as adjusted by clause 3.2 (and applying the provisions of clause 3.3) is based on the assumption that the business of the Companies, shall, from the end of the calendar month immediately prior to Completion until the date of Completion, be conducted and operated in its usual and normal manner and that they do not suffer or incur any extraordinary, nonrecurring or unusual losses or expenses or make any dividend payments. To the extent that such losses or expenses are incurred or dividends paid during the period aforementioned, the cash portion of US$14,600,000.00 provided for in clause 3.1.1 as adjusted by clause 3.2 (and applying the provisions of clause 3.3) shall be decreased as follows:

3.4.1. in relation to OCBVI, by 47.77% of the impact of such events on Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI during the period aforementioned; and

3.4.2. in relation to OCC, by 90.91% of the impact of such events on Actual Gross Equity of OCC during the period aforementioned.

The parties shall agree the amount of any decrease under clauses 3.4.1 and/or 3.4.2; provided that in the absence of agreement as to the amount of such decrease by or on Completion the Purchaser may retain such amount of the Purchase Price as is reasonable and following Completion the amount of the decrease in the Purchase Price shall be determined as soon as reasonably possible at the expense of the Purchaser by the relevant Company's Auditors. Within five (5) working days of such determination, in the event that the amount so retained exceeds the amount so determined the difference shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Vendors and in the event that the amount so retained is less than the amount so determined the difference shall be paid by the Vendors to the Purchaser.


3.5. The cash portion of US$14,600;000.00 as provided for in clause 3.1.1, as adjusted by clauses 3.2 to 3.4 (inclusive) above shall be further adjusted by increasing the same by a simple interest factor calculated on the same at the rate of 12.5% per annum (based on a 365 day year) calculated daily for the period of July 1, 2002 until the date of Completion.

3.6. On Completion, an initial payment of the Cash Consideration calculated based upon the management accounts described in clause 3.2 above (the "Initial Payment") shall be paid, at the option of TCF, by way of bankers draft drawn on a Cayman Islands class A licensed bank or wire transfer to TCF and receipt thereof by TCF shall be a good and final discharge of the Purchaser's obligation to make such payment to the Vendors.

3.7. Within 5 Business Days after the "Actual Gross Equity of OCC" and the "Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI" have been determined by OCC's Auditors and OCBVI's Auditors respectively pursuant to clause 3.2 or otherwise agreed between the parties an adjusting payment, calculated as the Cash Consideration based upon such determination less the Initial Payment (the "Adjusting Payment"), shall be made by the Purchaser to TCF, if the Adjusting Payment is a positive amount, or by the Vendors to the Purchaser, if the Adjusting Payment is a negative amount. OCC's Auditors and OCBVI's Auditors shall determine "Actual Gross Equity of OCC" and the "Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI" respectively within 60 days of Completion unless the parties have already agreed the amounts of "Actual Gross Equity of OCC" and the "Actual Gross Equity of OCBVI" between themselves.

3.8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, all adjustments required by Clauses 3.2 to 3.5 inclusive to calculate the Purchase Price shall be made as if Completion had occurred on January 31, 2003."

2. Clauses 4.2, 4.3 and 5.1 of the Share Sale Agreement as amended by the Amending Agreements are amended by deleting "January 31, 2003" wherever it appears, and substituting therefor "February 14, 2003".

3. Clause 5.9.1 of the Share Sale Agreement as amended by the Amending Agreements is amended to read as follows:

"5.9.1 pay the Initial Payment as calculated pursuant to and in the manner as set out in clause 3.6;".

4. Except as expressly modified by this Agreement, the Share Sale Agreement and the Amending Agreements continue in full force and effect according to their terms.

         the time being and shall be his address stated above or any other
         address for service previously notified to the other party or (in the
         absence of any such notification) his last known place of residence. A

EXHIBIT 2.15

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated , 2003, is between North American Mortgage and Finance Corporation (the "Investor"), and Consolidated Water Co. Ltd., a Cayman Islands Company (the "Company").

RECITALS

A. Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Investor is acquiring from the Company, pursuant to a Share Sale Agreement dated the date hereof (the "SSA"), 185,174 ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") of CI$1.00 par value (the "Securities") (terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the SSA).

B. The Company desires to grant to the Investor the registration rights set forth herein with respect to the Securities acquired pursuant to the SSA.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:

Section 1. Registrable Securities. As used herein the term "Registrable Security" means the Securities until (i) the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission (as defined below), and all Securities have been disposed of pursuant to the Registration Statement, (ii) all Securities have been sold under circumstances under which all of the applicable conditions of Rule 144 as it may be amended from time to time or any similar provision then in effect ("Rule 144") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") are met, (iii) all Securities have been otherwise transferred to holders who may trade such Securities without restriction under the Securities Act, and the Company has delivered a new certificate or other evidence of ownership for such Securities not bearing a restrictive legend or
(iv) such time as, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, all Securities may be sold without any time, volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule
144(k) (or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act and the Company has delivered a new certificate or other evidence of ownership for such securities not bearing a restrictive legend. The term "Registrable Securities" means any and/or all of the securities falling within the foregoing definition of a "Registrable Security." In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other change in corporate structure affecting the Ordinary Shares of the Company, such adjustment shall be deemed to be made in the definition of "Registrable Security" as is appropriate in order to prevent any dilution or enlargement of the rights granted pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2. Restrictions on Transfer. The Investor acknowledges and understands that prior to the registration of the Securities as provided herein, the Securities are "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Investor understands that no disposition or transfer of the Securities may be made by an Investor in the absence of (i) an opinion of counsel to an Investor, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such transfer may be

-1-

made without registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to Regulation D or another exemption, or (ii) such registration.

With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees to:

(a) comply with the provisions of paragraph (c) (1) of Rule 144; and

(b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") by companies subject to either of such sections, irrespective of whether the Company is then subject to such reporting requirements.

SECTION 3. REGISTRATION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES. 1.

(a) By the earlier to occur of (i) sixty (60) calendar days after the date that the Company's registration statement (the "Company Registration Statement") for its contemplated underwritten public offering is declared effective by the Commission or (ii) June 30, 2003, (the "Filing Deadline Date"), the Company will prepare and file a Registration Statement with the Commission, at the sole expense of the Company (except as provided in
Section 3(c) hereof), so as to permit a public offering and resale of the Securities under the Securities Act by the Investor as a selling shareholder.

For the purposes of this Agreement, "Registration Statement" means any registration statement of the Company which registers for sale under the Securities Act any of the Registrable Securities, including the Prospectus, all amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement including post-effective amendments, all financial statements of the Company included therein, all exhibits to such Registration Statement, and all material incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement. The term "Prospectus" shall mean the prospectus included in any Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented by any prospectus supplement with respect to the terms of the offering of any of the Registrable Securities and all other amendments or supplements to the Prospectus, including post-effective amendments, and all material incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement.

The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective within ninety (90) calendar days from the Filing Deadline Date, or, if earlier, within five (5) days of the Commission's clearance in response to the Company's request for acceleration of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (in either case the "Effectiveness Deadline Date"). In the event that the registration of Registrable Securities is underwritten, the Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement in

-2-

usual and customary form. The Company will notify the Investor of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement within two calendar days of such event.

Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Investor shall not offer for sale or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Registrable Securities in violation of Section 10 hereof.

(b) The Company will maintain the effectiveness under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement or post-effective amendment filed under this Section 3 until the earliest of (i) the date that none of the Securities covered by such Registration Statement are or may become issued and outstanding, (ii) the date that all of the Securities have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement, (iii) two (2) years from the date of the closing of the SSA, (iv) the date on which all Securities have been otherwise transferred to persons who may trade such shares without restriction under the Securities Act, and the Company has delivered a new certificate or other evidence of ownership for such securities not bearing a restrictive legend, or (v) the first date upon which, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Investor all Securities may be sold without any time, volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any similar provision then in effect under the Securities Act (the "Effectiveness Period").

(c) The Company shall bear all fees, disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses and costs incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement including (i) the preparation, filing and printing of the Registration Statement under subparagraph 3(a) as originally filed and as amended, any preliminary prospectuses and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the fees and disbursements of accountants for the Company; (iii) the preparation, printing and distribution of any underwriting or agency agreement, certificates representing the Securities (if any), any Blue Sky Survey and other documents relating to the performance of and compliance by the Company with this Agreement; (iv) the fees and disbursements of the underwriters or agents customarily paid by issuers or sellers of securities, the fees of their respective counsel, and the fees and disbursements of any experts retained in connection with such Registration Statement (but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, as described below); (v) the costs of the qualification of the Securities under applicable state securities and Blue Sky laws and the costs and expenses associated with any filing required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc; (vi) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Securities on any securities exchange and the fees of any transfer agent, registrar or depository for the securities; and (vii) expenses for the duplication and delivery to the Investor of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus forming part thereof and any other related documents as provided in Sections 5(h) and 5 (i) below. The Investor shall bear the cost of underwriting and/or brokerage discounts, and commissions, if any, applicable to the Securities being registered, the costs and expenses (if any) incident to the delivery of the Registrable Securities to be sold by it, including any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale.

-3-

(d) In connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement the Company shall provide to the Investor and its counsel and accountants the opportunity to review and comment upon, for a period not to exceed five (5) business days, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto prior to filing with the Commission. The Company shall provide the Investor with copies of any comment letters received from the Commission with respect thereto within two (2) calendar days of receipt thereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a business day means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and on which banks are open for the conduct of normal business in New York City, New York, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, B.W.I., and London, England.

(e) The Company shall afford the Investor, its counsel and its accountants the opportunity to review its books and records and to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and the independent public accountants who have certified the Company's financial statements to permit the Investor and its counsel and accountants to conduct, in their view, a reasonable investigation as may be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act. All fees and expenses of the Investor's counsel, accountants and other representatives relating to such investigation shall be paid by the Investor. The Company shall qualify any of the securities for sale in such states as the Investor reasonably designates and shall furnish indemnification in the manner provided in Section 6 hereof. However, the Company shall not be required to qualify in any state which will require an escrow or other restriction relating to the Company and/or the sellers, or which will require the Company to qualify to do business in such state or require the Company to file therein any general consent to service of process (as opposed to a specific consent for purposes of actions under applicable state securities laws).

(f) The Company shall not be required by this Section 3 to include the Investor's Securities in any Registration Statement which is to be filed if, in the opinion of counsel for the Investor and the Company (or, should they not agree, in the opinion of another counsel experienced in securities law matters acceptable to counsel for the Investor and the Company, which counsel's fees and expenses shall be shared equally by the Investor and the Company) the proposed offering or other transfer as to which such registration is requested is exempt from applicable federal and state securities laws and would result in all purchasers or transferees obtaining securities which are not "restricted securities", as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

(g) If at any time after the effective date of any Registration Statement, the Company notifies the Investor in writing of (i) the issuance by the Commission of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of proceedings with respect to the Registration Statement under Section 8 (d) or 8 (e) of the Securities Act or
(ii) the existence of a Potential Material Event (as defined in Section 3(h) below), the Investor shall not offer or sell any Securities or engage in any other transaction involving or relating to Securities (a "Blackout Period"), from the time of the giving of notice with respect to a stop order or Potential Material Event until the Investor receives written notice from the Company that either (x) the Registration Statement (as amended or supplemented, if necessary) may be used and the Investor has received from the Company copies of any amended or supplemented

-4-

Registration Statement or (y)such Potential Material Event either has been disclosed to the public or no longer constitutes a Potential Material Event; provided, however, that the Company may not so suspend the right of the Investor to transfer Securities for more than forty-five (45) days in the aggregate during any three month period or for more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate during any twelve (12) month period, during the Effectiveness Period. If a Potential Material Event shall occur prior to the date a Registration Statement is required to be filed, then the Company's obligation to file such Registration Statement shall be delayed for not more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days. The Company must give the Investor notice in writing at least two (2) calendar days prior to the first day of a Blackout Period.

(h) "Potential Material Event" means any of the following: (a) the possession by the Company of material information not ripe for disclosure in a registration statement, as determined in good faith by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company that disclosure of such information in a Registration Statement would be detrimental to the business and affairs of the Company; or (b) any material engagement or activity by the Company which would, in the good faith determination of the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company, be adversely affected by disclosure in a registration statement at such time, which determination shall be accompanied by a good faith determination by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company that the applicable Registration Statement would be materially misleading absent the inclusion of such information

(i) The Company recognizes and agrees that the Investor will incur damages and will not realize the benefits sought to be conferred on the Investor under the SSA if the Company fails to comply with its obligations hereunder to effect and maintain the registration of the Registrable Securities. Accordingly, the Company expressly agrees that in the event that (i) the Registration Statement has not been filed on or prior to the Filing Deadline Date, and (ii) the Registration Statement has not been declared effective under the Securities Act on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline Date, or (iii) the aggregate duration of Blackout Periods during any period exceeds the number of days permitted in respect of such period pursuant to Section 3(g) hereof (each of the events of a type described in any of the foregoing clauses (i) through
(iii) being individually referred to herein as an "Event") the Investor shall have the right to require the Company to purchase from it all the Registrable Securities held by the Investor at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) US$14.00 per share (ii) the closing price of the Ordinary Shares on NASDAQ on the last day on which an Event occurs giving rise to the claim of the Investor for damages under this Section 3(i). Following the occurrence of such Event, the Investor shall notify the Company of its claim for damages under this provision by providing written notice to the Company and within 20 calendar days of the date of such notice, the Company shall (x) provide to the Investor a written computation of the damages to be paid pursuant to the formula above and (y) pay to the Investor in full, without offset or discount, the amount of said damages as reflected in the Company's computation, via wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated to the Company by the Investor. The Company's payment to the Investor of the damages set forth in this Section 3(i) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Investor under this Agreement and all other applicable laws, and

-5-

upon payment of such damages, the Company shall have no other liability or obligation whatsoever to the Investor.

Section 4. Cooperation with Company. The Investor will cooperate with the Company in all respects in connection with this Agreement, including timely supplying all information reasonably requested by the Company (which shall include all information regarding the Investor and proposed manner of sale of the Registrable Securities required to be disclosed in any Registration Statement) and executing and returning all documents reasonably requested in connection with the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities and entering into and performing its obligations under any underwriting agreement, if the offering is an underwritten offering, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering.

Section 5. Registration Procedures. In connection with the fulfillment by the Company of its obligations hereunder to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company shall (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement), as expeditiously as reasonably possible, subject to the Investor's assistance and cooperation as reasonably required with respect to each Registration Statement:

(a)(i) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement current and effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the rules thereunder with respect to the sale or other disposition of all Securities covered by such registration statement whenever the Investor shall desire to sell or otherwise dispose of the same (including prospectus supplements with respect to the sales of securities from time to time in connection with a registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act), and (ii) take all lawful action such that each of (A) the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (B) any preliminary prospectus and any other Prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, and any amendment or supplement thereto, does not at any time during the Effectiveness Period include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(b)(i) prior to the filing with the Commission of any Registration Statement (including any amendments thereto) and the distribution or delivery of any Prospectus (including any supplements thereto), provide draft copies thereof to the Investor as required by Section 3(c) and reflect in such documents all such comments as the Investor (and its counsel) reasonably may propose, and (ii) furnish to the Investor such numbers of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any Prospectus, as applicable), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other

-6-

documents, as the Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Securities owned by the Investor;

(c) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Investor shall reasonably request (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(e) above), and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable the Investor to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdiction of the Securities owned by the Investor;

(d) list such Registrable Securities on the principal United States exchange or market for the Company's ordinary shares (the "Principal Market"), if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such Principal Market;

(e) notify the Investor at any time during the Effectiveness Period of the happening of any event of which the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company becomes aware as a result of which the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and the Company shall prepare and file a curative amendment under Section 5(a) as quickly as commercially possible;

(f) as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify the Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or other suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible time and take all lawful action to effect the withdrawal, recession or removal of such stop order or other suspension;

(g) cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates for the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement and to enable such certificates for the Registrable Securities to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investor reasonably may request and registered in such names as the Investor may request; and, within three (3) calendar days after a Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities is declared effective by the Commission, deliver and cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver to the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors) an appropriate instruction and, to the extent necessary, an opinion of such counsel;

(h) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing of such documents with the Commission, furnish to the Investor, upon its written request and without charge, at least one (1) conformed copy of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, including financial statements, but excluding schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (unless requested in writing to the Company by the Investor).

-7-

(i) During the Effectiveness Period, deliver to the Investor in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses relating to such Registrable Securities (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as the Investor may reasonably request; and the Company hereby consents (except during Blackout Periods during which a notice of a stop order or a Potential Material Event is outstanding and has not been revoked) to the use of such Prospectus or each amendment or supplement thereto by the Investor in connection with any offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in the manner as set for the therein.

(j) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to it securityholders earnings statements (which need not be audited) satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of any twelve (12) month period ninety (90) days after the end of any twelve (12) month period if such period is a fiscal year) commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company commencing after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said twelve (12) month periods.

(k) Provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement and, subject to Section 10 hereof, provide the transfer agent for the Ordinary Shares of the Company with certificates for the Registrable Securities that are in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company or another depository.

(n) in the event of an underwritten offering, promptly include or incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information as the managers of the underwritten offering reasonably agree should be included therein and to which the Company does not reasonably object and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after it is notified of the matters to be included or incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and

-8-

(o) maintain a transfer agent and registrar for its Ordinary Shares.

Section 6. Indemnification.

(a) To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense, preparation and investigation and all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), to which the Investor may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) any litigation or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission or any such untrue statement or omission or any such alleged untrue statement or omission provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent, and only to the extent, that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor, or its counsel, specifically for use in the preparation thereof (it being understood that no representation, warranty or other statement by the Investor in the SSA or any related agreement or document (including, without limitation, the disclosure letters referred to therein) shall be deemed written information furnished to the Company by the Investor specifically for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any Prospectus for the purposes of this Agreement). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Investor agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each officer and director of the Company or person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense, preparation and investigation and all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) to which the Company or any such officer, director or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, or amendment or supplement thereto, or upon the omission or the alleged

-9-

omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (iii) any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, but in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor, or its counsel, specifically for use in the preparation thereof (it being understood that no representation, warranty or other statement by the Investor in the SSA or any related agreement or document (including, without limitation, the disclosure letters referred to therein) shall be deemed written information furnished to the Company by the Investor specifically for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement or any Prospectus for the purposes of the Agreement). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Investor may otherwise have.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action against such indemnified party, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent the failure of the indemnified party to provide such written notification actually prejudices the ability of the indemnifying party to defend such action. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, assume the defense thereof, subject to the provisions herein stated. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless the indemnifying party shall not pursue the action to its final conclusion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified parties as a group shall have the right to employ one separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, or (ii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnifying party different from or in conflict with any

-10-

legal defenses which may be available to the indemnified party or any other indemnified party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable only for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate firm of attorneys for the indemnified party, which firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified party). No settlement of any action against an indemnified party shall be made without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such settlement includes a full release of claims against the indemnified party.

Section 7. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution under the Securities Act in any case in which (i) the indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6 hereof but is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that the express provisions of
Section 6 hereof provide for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any indemnified party, then the Company and the Investor shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense, preparation and investigation and all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), in either such case (after contribution from others) on the basis of relative fault as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or by the Investor on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The relative benefits received by the Company, the Investor and the underwriters (if any) with respect to the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions that the proceeds from the offering received by the Company and the Investor and the underwriting discounts received by the underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the applicable Prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Registrable Securities. The Company and the Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 7. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim (including any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

-11-

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7, in no event shall the Investor be required to undertake liability to any person under this Section 7 for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds received by the Investor from the sale of the Investor's Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) pursuant to any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities are registered under the Securities Act.

Section 8. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered as set forth in the SSA.

Section 9. Assignment. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns.

Section 10. Lock-Up Restrictions. Until one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the date that the Company Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, the Investor will not, without the prior written consent of the underwriter of such offering, directly or indirectly, sell, offer for sale, transfer, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of, pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise, the Securities directly or indirectly or beneficially owned by the Investor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor may sell or otherwise dispose of the Securities in a privately-negotiated transaction, provided that
(i) the acquiror of such securities agrees in advance in writing with the underwriter of the Company's contemplated public offering to the restrictions on transfer of the securities as set forth herein and (ii) the disposition is otherwise in accordance with the United States securities and other applicable laws.

Section 11. Counterparts/Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other parties. In lieu of the original, a facsimile transmission or copy of the original shall be as effective and enforceable as the original.

Section 12. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.

Section 13. Conflicting Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise prevents the Company from complying with all of its obligations hereunder.

-12-

Section 14. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made in New York by persons domiciled in New York City and without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. Each of the parties (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the U.S. federal court for the Southern District of New York or any New York state court located in the City of New York in the event any dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, including, without limitation, a motion to dismiss on the grounds of forum non conveniens , (c) agrees it will not bring any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the U.S. federal court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court located in the City of New York and (d) waives any right to trial by jury with respect to any legal proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Registration Rights Agreement to be duly executed, on the day and year first above written.

For Immediate Release

CONSOLIDATED WATER CO. LTD. ACQUIRES WATER OPERATIONS IN
BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS, BARBADOS AND CAYMAN ISLANDS

COMPANY HOPES TO COMPLETE ACQUISITION OF WATER PRODUCTION FACILITIES IN
NASSAU, BAHAMAS BEFORE END OF FIRST QUARTER

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, B.W.I., February 10, 2003 -- Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. (Nasdaq: CWCO) ("Consolidated"), which develops and operates seawater conversion plants and water distribution systems in areas of the world where naturally occurring supplies of potable water are scarce or nonexistent, today announced that it has completed multiple acquisitions that have expanded the Company's water operations into the British Virgin Islands and Barbados and increased its presence in the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands.

Following the satisfaction of numerous conditions, including the receipt of certain governmental approvals, the acquisitions were completed for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25.5 million, which is subject to adjustment based on audited year-end financial statements of the acquired companies. Separately, Consolidated has contracted to sell its non-voting stock in the British Virgin Islands company to a local group for $2.1 million. Consolidated now has responsibility for the operation of additional water plants with a combined production capacity of approximately 8.0 million U.S. gallons per day (USGPD), bringing Consolidated's current total production capacity to approximately 10.9 million USGPD.

"As a result of these acquisitions, Consolidated is now producing and/or delivering desalinated water to customers in five Caribbean countries," observed Jeffrey Parker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. "We also acquired the exclusive rights to distribute a line of highly efficient energy recovery systems to desalination plant operators throughout the Caribbean basin."

"These acquisitions conveyed to Consolidated a 12.7% equity interest in Waterfields Co. Ltd. ("Waterfields"), which owns a seawater desalination plant in Nassau, Bahamas, together with an Engineering Services Agreement to operate the plant. We expect to complete our previously announced agreement to acquire a 13.5% ownership in Waterfields, together with a Management Services Agreement, from Bacardi & Company Limited, along with a tender offer made outside the United States for 64.7% of the remaining Waterfields shares, before the current quarter ends on March 31, 2003," continued Parker. "We expect the acquisitions to be immediately accretive to Consolidated's net income and earnings per share."


Financing for these acquisitions was provided by Bank of Nova Scotia through a $20 million (US) seven-year term loan, a $17.1 million (US) six-month bridge loan, and a $2 million (US) revolving line of credit. As a result of these transactions, Bank of Nova Scotia has replaced Royal Bank of Canada as Consolidated's primary lender. The Company intends to replace a portion of the bank financing in the future with debt, equity or hybrid financing, but does not currently have any agreements for such financing.

FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS REGARDING THE COMPLETED AND PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS, PLEASE REFER TO NEWS RELEASES ISSUED BY CONSOLIDATED WATER CO. LTD. ON OCTOBER 10, 2002 AND DECEMBER 17, 2002.
