If the completion of the Invitation does not occur because the SGX-STs permission is not granted or for any other reason, monies paid in respect of any application accepted will be returned to you, subject to applicable laws, at your own risk, without interest or any share of revenue or other benefit arising therefrom, and you will not have any claim against us, the Issue Manager, Underwriter and Lead Placement Agent (as defined herein) or the Joint Placement Agent (as defined herein).

The Stabilizing Manager may over-allot and effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market prices of our Shares at levels which may not otherwise prevail in the open market, subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Competitive Strengths Our Directors believe that our competitive strengths are as follows: We are a property developer with an established track record We have an established track record in delivering quality and well-designed residential property developments in Singapore. Our property development projects are pre-dominantly freehold in tenure and are targeted at middle-to-high income consumers who value exclusivity in good locations. We have an established network of business relationships with other property developers and contractors We have entered into joint ventures and maintained relationships with an extensive and established network of partners. This has enabled us to leverage on their experience, business connections, expertise and resources, in order to capitalize on suitable market opportunities for future growth. We are expanding beyond residential property development and have a regional presence in South-East Asia We are expanding into commercial property development projects as well as industrial property development projects both in Singapore and regionally. Leveraging on our experience and expertise in property development in Singapore, we have also extended our geographical reach to Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. We understand the needs of our customers in the countries our Group operates in Through our experience and involvement in the property development business, we understand the local social demographics and supply and demand factors. As such, we believe that such knowledge puts us in good stead to develop projects that appeal to our customers in the different regions in which our Group operates.

Capital Value
S$394.5 million*
We have dedicated and experienced key management personnel We have a dedicated and experienced key management team. Our Executive Director and CEO, Mr. Phua Cher Chew, and our Executive Director and Finance Director, Mr. Boon Choon Kiat, have collectively more than 20 years of experience in the property industry in Singapore and the Indochina region (primarily in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Myanmar) respectively, and are instrumental in growing our business. Business Strategies and Future Plans Focus on quality residential property development and expand into commercial and industrial property development We will continue to invest in land sites with good locations for development into quality residential units with innovative designs and lifestyle themes. To ensure sustainable growth of our Group, we are also expanding into commercial and industrial property development projects, which will either be leased out for rental income or be developed and sold for an attractive profit margin. Strengthen our position in foreign markets in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam Leveraging on our experience and expertise in property development in Singapore, we have also extended our geographic reach to Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam and we intend to strengthen our presence in these foreign markets by continually sourcing for suitable property development projects in good locations. We believe that it is beneficial for the long-term growth of our Group to diversify our presence in foreign markets as this will assist in mitigating policy and demand risks that we may face in Singapore. Expand into new markets We believe that countries such as Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand offer good growth potential for property developments as a result of their respective economic and political climate. In Myanmar, we believe the ongoing economic boom will result in an increase in demand for residential and commercial properties. With the newly regained peace in Sri Lanka, we anticipate an increase in demand for residential and commercial properties as a result of increased investments. In New Zealand, we believe that we will be able to capitalize on the current shortage of high quality apartments in the Christchurch city centre to provide the desired specification of properties as the population grows.

Whilst we continue to specialize in residential property developments, we are expanding into commercial and industrial property development projects. Leveraging on our experience and expertise in property development in Singapore, we have also extended our geographical reach to Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should carefully consider and evaluate each of the following considerations and all other information set forth in this Prospectus before deciding to invest in our Shares. To the best of our Directors knowledge and belief, all risk factors which are material to investors in making an informed judgment of our Group have been set out below. If any of the following considerations, uncertainties or material risks develops into actual events, our business, financial position and/or results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. In such cases, the trading price of our Shares could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment in our Shares. This Prospectus also contains forward-looking statements having direct and/or indirect implications on our future performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements due to certain factors, including the risks and uncertainties faced by us, as described in this section and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
We are subject to various government policies which regulate the property market in Singapore
As our current operations are pre-dominantly focused on Singapore, our business is dependent on various housing policies implemented by the Singapore government. To promote a stable and sustainable property market, the Singapore government monitors the property market closely and adopts measures as and when it deems necessary. Between September 2009 and January 2013, the Singapore government implemented 7 rounds of property curbs and cooling measures to keep the buoyancy of the property market in check. Such measures included, inter alia, the lowering of loan-to-value limits, the increase in minimum cash downpayment, the imposition of additional buyers stamp duty and the stipulation of a maximum loan tenure. In the event that the Singapore government introduces new or more stringent measures which impact the overall performance of Singapores property market, our operations, profitability and financial performance may be adversely affected.
We are dependent on our ability to identify and complete new property development projects and to source for new land sites
Our performance is dependent on our ability to identify new property development projects and, following such identification, to successfully complete such projects within a scheduled time frame to realize returns. The viability and profitability of our property development projects may be undermined by factors such as unexpected project delays, adverse changes in interest rates, construction costs, land costs, property prices and general economic conditions. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will always be successful in identifying new property development projects or completing such property development - 26 -
RISK FACTORS
projects under the best possible market conditions, as planned. There is also no assurance that a project, which may have been assessed by us to be profitable at the initial phases, will not turn out to be a lossmaking asset or investment due to adverse changes in circumstances beyond our control. We generally source for new land sites through public tenders such as the government land sales program, private invitations from property owners and property agents, as well as referrals from architects. We generally do not accumulate a land bank but acquire our land sites as and when the capacity to undertake a property development project arises. As we acquire land for development, we are subject to fluctuations in land prices as well as the availability of suitable land sites. We also compete with other property developers for the sourcing of land sites. In the event that we are unable to source for and identify new and profitable property development projects or successfully complete the property development projects or secure suitable land sites for property development, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.
We may be affected by the political, economic and social conditions in the countries that we operate in
Other than in Singapore, we have a business presence in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. We may also expand into other countries in which we presently do not have a business presence such as Sri Lanka, New Zealand and Myanmar. Some of the countries that we operate in have, in the past, been affected by political upheavals, internal strife, civil commotions and epidemics. The recurrence of these political and social conditions in countries where we currently or may in the future operate in, may affect our ability to operate or conduct business in those countries. Our business and prospects may be materially and adversely affected by developments with respect to inflation, interest rates, currency fluctuations, government policies, price and wage controls, exchange control regulations, industry laws and regulations, taxation, expropriation, social instability and other political, legal, economic or diplomatic developments in or affecting the markets in which we operate currently or in the future. We have no control over such conditions and developments and any changes in such conditions and developments may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
RISK FACTORS
The loans granted to us by banks/financial institutions are generally charged based on floating interest rates. Given that we rely significantly on these loans to finance our property development projects, any increase in the interest rates of these loans will have a material adverse impact on our profitability. If we are unable, for any reason, to raise such debt financing, our business, results of operations and financial position may be adversely affected. Additional debt financing may have debt covenants placed on us which may: (a) (b) (c) (d) limit our ability to pay dividends or require us to seek consents for the payment of dividends; increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; limit our ability to pursue our growth plans; require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debts, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund capital expenditure, working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes; and limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry.
(e)
Please refer to the section entitled Capitalization and Indebtedness of this Prospectus for further details on our total indebtedness. Whilst, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there are no such debt covenants on any of the existing loans undertaken by the Group, we cannot guarantee that future loans granted to the Group will not contain such debt covenants. Further, in planning for the financing of our property development projects, we take into consideration various factors, including potential consumer response to our projects, the timing of the completion of the development properties, the expected interest charges to be incurred for the entire duration of the project, the risk of recall of loans and the additional security that may be required to be pledged with the banks/financial institutions to secure our loans. Our estimated project expenses and earnings are mainly based on, but are not limited to, the aforesaid factors. A change in any of these factors may lead to a corresponding change in our estimated project expenses and earnings, and our profitability may be adversely affected.
- 28 -
RISK FACTORS
The values of our properties and land sites are subject to fluctuations
The valuations of our properties are conducted by professional independent valuers under certain assumptions and based on the then prevailing market conditions. These valuations are subject to changes in market conditions and thus may not accurately reflect the actual values of such properties upon realization or disposal. Should the values of our properties and land sites be lower, for any reason, upon realization or disposal, our financial position and performance may be adversely affected. In addition, we may record impairment losses in our financial statements in the event that the market values of our unsold properties and land sites as determined by professional independent valuers fall below their carrying amounts.
We are subject to the risk of inability to collect progress payments from purchasers of our property development projects
We are subject to the solvency and creditworthiness of our customers. In the event that our customers do not make due payments for the properties purchased, we may have to commence legal proceedings to enforce such payments. In the event of any significant delay or inability to collect the cash payments, our results of operation and financial condition may be adversely affected.
We may be unable to obtain future financing on favourable terms, or at all, to fund our operations, anticipated capital expenditure and working capital requirements
We may be unable to obtain future financing on favourable terms, or at all, to fund our operations, anticipated capital expenditure and working capital requirements. In addition, financial institutions may be unwilling to accept security interests in our properties being developed as collateral for the loans due to, amongst others, the illiquidity of the relevant property. In the event that we are unable to raise such financing on favourable terms, or at all, we may not be able to fund our operations effectively or we may be unable to carry out our planned expansion, all of which may adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations and ability to implement our growth strategy.
- 29 -
RISK FACTORS
We are subject to construction risks
We manage and monitor the costs of our development projects closely, starting from the tender stage until installation and commission of the development projects. In the preparation of tenders for our property development projects, we carry out internal costing and budgeting estimates of labour and construction material costs which are based on quotations given by our suppliers, contractors and subcontractors, as well as other estimated costs to be incurred. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, delays may arise as a result of several factors, including a shortage of construction materials, equipment and labour, adverse weather conditions, natural calamities, machinery and equipment breakdown, adverse changes to the financial conditions of the contractors we engage, accidents, cessation of business of the contractors we engage, disputes with the contractors and delays in obtaining approvals from the relevant authorities and other unforeseen circumstances. Exposure to such external factors may affect the timely completion and launch of our property development projects and may lead to cost implications that may bring about cost overruns. Whilst such cost overruns are typically borne by our contractors, in the event that our contractors are unable to bear the cost overruns, we may be liable for such cost overruns. In such an event, our profitability may be affected.
We are subject to fluctuations in the costs of construction materials, labour and equipment
The construction costs of our future projects will be subject to fluctuations in the prices of various construction materials, such as metal, stone, cement, sand, pipes, electric cables, sanitary fittings, window and door fittings, light fittings and other materials. In addition, our business is dependent on the construction industry, which is human capital intensive and requires a large number of skilled and unskilled labour. Cost of labour has been on the rise and may be subject to further fluctuations(1). Similarly, the costs of leasing construction equipment, including excavators, cranes and lifting hoists, may also fluctuate over time due to changing market supply and demand conditions. In the event that there is a material increase in the costs of construction materials, labour and equipment, our main contractors are likely to pass on such additional costs to us and the operating costs of our projects may increase. This may, as a result, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
- 30 -
RISK FACTORS
Note: (1) Based on Singapore Business Federation SME Committee Recommendations for Budget 2013, which stated that due to the tightening labour market, SMEs continue to face rising labour costs as a result of cumulative effects of tightening labour policies. Singapore Business Federation has not consented to the inclusion of the above information in this Prospectus for the purposes of section 249 of the SFA and are therefore not liable for the relevant information under sections 253 and 254 of the SFA. While our Directors have taken reasonable action to ensure that the information has been accurately and correctly extracted from the sources above and reproduced in this Prospectus in its proper form and context, they have not independently verified the accuracy of the relevant information.
We may face claims from and disputes with purchasers and/or the management corporations
We may face claims from and disputes with purchasers and/or the management corporations in our development projects for reasons such as delay in completion, alleged defects or non-conformance to contract specifications. In the event of any successful claims from such purchasers and/or the management corporations of units, we may have to pay damages and/or be subject to legal proceedings which may result in an adverse impact on our profitability, financial performance and corporate reputation. Should we be unable to successfully or sufficiently claim the amount of liquidated damages paid or to be paid to purchasers as a result of our contractors delay or building defects, from our contractors, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
We may not be able to successfully implement our future plans and strategies
As part of our future business plans, we intend to, inter alia, focus on unique and quality property developments, strengthen our position in our current markets and expand into new markets. Please refer to the section entitled Prospects, Business Strategies and Future Plans Our Business Strategies and Future Plans of this Prospectus for further details on our future plans and strategies. There is no assurance that the actual demand for our property development projects in the future will meet our expectations. Should we fail to achieve our business objectives or our sales targets, there may be an adverse effect on our profitability. While we have planned such expansion based on the outlook and our understanding of the current property market and general economic situation, there is no assurance that such expansion plans will be commercially successful or the actual outcome of those expansion plans will match our expectations. In such an event, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
- 31 -
RISK FACTORS
With respect to losses which are covered by our policies, it may be difficult or time-consuming to recover such losses from our insurers. In addition, there is no assurance that our policies would be sufficient to cover all potential losses, or any losses at all, or that the recovery for such losses will not be subject to protracted delays. In such an event, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
- 32 -
RISK FACTORS
In addition, under the Land Acquisition Act, Chapter 152 of Singapore, the Singapore Government has the power to acquire any land in Singapore: for any public purpose; where the acquisition is required by any person, corporation or statutory board, for any work or undertaking which is of public benefit or of public utility or in the public interest; or for any residential, commercial or industrial purposes. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we have not experienced any compulsory acquisition of land. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee that such events will not occur in the future. Under the Land Acquisition Act, Chapter 152 of Singapore, the compensation to be awarded pursuant to any compulsory acquisition would be based on the lowest of (i) the market value of the property as at 1 January 1995; (ii) the market value of the property as at the date of the publication in the Government Gazette of the notification of the likely acquisition of the land (provided that within 6 months from the date of publication of the notification, a declaration of intention to acquire is made by publication in the Government Gazette); and (iii) the market value of the property as at the date of publication in the Government Gazette of the declaration of intention to acquire. Accordingly, if any of our properties is subject to compulsory acquisition, and the market price of the property to be acquired is greater than the lowest of the market values referred to above, we will not receive fair market value for the land acquired and may not be able to purchase a comparable property as replacement. This may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
RISK FACTORS
Further, the value of the SGD against the RM, Baht and VND may fluctuate and be affected by, amongst other factors, changes in the political, social and economic conditions in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Any significant revaluation of the RM, Baht or VND may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. For example, some of our materials for construction and development and capital expenditures for future expansion programs will be denominated in, and may be financed in, foreign currencies. Any future appreciation in the RM, Baht or VND against the SGD would increase our cost of materials and the cost of our capital expenditures in RM, Baht or VND terms and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We currently do not have any formal policy for hedging against foreign exchange exposure. However, we will continue to monitor our foreign exchange exposure and may employ forward currency contracts to manage our foreign exchange exposure should the need arise. Please refer to the section entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position Foreign Exchange Management of this Prospectus for further details.
We may face uncertainties associated with the expansion of our business overseas
We are subject to foreign laws, regulations and policies as a result of property investments in foreign countries. There may be a negative impact on any property owned by us in a foreign country as a result of measures and policies adopted by the relevant foreign governments and regulatory authorities at national, provincial or local levels, such as government control over property investments or regulations in relation to foreign exchange. Legal protection and recourse available to us in certain countries may be limited. In addition, the income and gains derived from investments in property in other countries may be subject to various types of taxes in Singapore and these foreign jurisdictions, which include income tax, withholding tax, capital gains tax, and any other taxes that may be imposed specifically for ownership of real estate. All of these taxes are subject to changes in laws and regulations that may lead to an increase in tax rates or the introduction of new taxes, and could adversely affect and erode the returns from these development properties. There is also no assurance that we will be able to repatriate the income and gains derived from investments outside Singapore to Singapore on a timely and regular basis. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will be able to execute our growth strategies successfully or that the performance of any strategic alliances, acquisitions or investments would meet our expectations.
We are subject to the risk of land acquisition by the Malaysia State Authority
Under the Land Acquisition Act 1960, the Malaysia State Authority has the power to acquire any land, whether in whole or in part, which is needed: (a) (b) for any public purpose; by any person or corporation for any purpose which in the opinion of the Malaysia State Authority is beneficial to the economic development of Malaysia or any part thereof or to the public generally or any class of the public; or
- 34 -
RISK FACTORS
(c) for the purposes of mining or for residential, agricultural, commercial, industrial or recreational purposes or any combination of such purposes.
In the event of any compulsory acquisition of property in Malaysia, the amount of compensation to be awarded is based on the fair market value of the property and is assessed on the basis prescribed in the Land Acquisition Act 1960 and other applicable laws. Notwithstanding that the amount of compensation is based on the fair market value of the property, the compulsory acquisition may lead to project disruption and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operation and prospects.
We may be affected by natural disasters in Thailand and the other regions we operate in
We may be subject to natural disasters prevalent in Thailand, such as the severe flooding in late 2011 which affected all sectors of the Thailand property market. In the event that similar flooding or other natural disasters occur in Thailand and the other regions we operate in, there may be disruptions and damage, which may lead to increased construction costs and delays and consequently may have a material adverse effect on our business operations and prospects.

We are subject to changes in foreign investment laws and restrictions on foreign equity participation in Vietnam
As an emerging economy, commercial laws and regulations in Vietnam, including those regulating foreign investment in real estate business, may be subject to changes from time to time. These changes may have an adverse effect on our Groups repatriation of capital and remittance of profit. Pursuant to the Law on Investment of Vietnam 2005, there are provisions which safeguard foreign investments notwithstanding changes in laws or policies. However, there can be no assurance that the Law on Investment of Vietnam 2005 will not be amended in a manner detrimental to investors. In relation to foreign equity participation, according to the laws of Vietnam, foreign investors are entitled to own up to a 100% equity interest in enterprises engaging in real estate business, except for public companies which shall be subject to a foreign ownership cap of 49%. Thus, in the event that our Vietnam Subsidiary elects to convert into a public company(1), our Groups equity participation will be limited to 49%. If the above events were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.
Note: (1) Currently, the Vietnam Subsidiary is a limited liability company with 2 members, and its members interests are recognised by their respective capital contributions. Pursuant to the laws and regulations of Vietnam, a limited liability company can be converted into a joint-stock company upon satisfaction of one of the following conditions: (i) by application of the Vietnam Subsidiary upon it having at least three members; or (ii) by law if it has more than 50 members. Upon conversion into a joint-stock company, the Vietnam Subsidiary can be converted into a public company upon satisfaction of one of the following conditions: (i) it has more than 100 members, excluding professional securities investors, and has a contributed charter capital of VND 10 billion (equivalent to USD500,000) or more; (ii) it conducts a public offering of its stock; or (iii) it lists its stocks on the registered stock exchange or securities trading center in Vietnam.
Our Controlling Shareholder will retain control over our Company after the Invitation and may have interests that are different from those of our other Shareholders
Upon completion of the Invitation, our Controlling Shareholder will own approximately 70.69% (assuming the Over-allotment Option is not exercised) of the issued share capital of our Company. As a result, it will be able to exercise influence over matters requiring Shareholders approval, including the election of Directors, the timing and payment of dividends, a merger or sale of substantially all of our assets and significant corporate transactions requiring a majority vote except where the Controlling Shareholder is required by the rules of the Listing Manual or other applicable regulations to abstain from voting. Such concentration of ownership will place our Controlling Shareholder in a position to exercise significant influence over our corporate actions such as mergers or takeover attempts (notwithstanding that the same may be synergistic or beneficial to our Group) in a manner that could conflict with the interests of our other Shareholders.
New investors will incur dilution and may experience further dilution
The Issue Price of our Shares is higher than our proforma NAV per Share immediately after the Invitation of approximately S$0.3149 (based on the proforma NAV as referred to in the section entitled Invitation Statistics of this Prospectus and as adjusted for the net proceeds from the issue of the Invitation Shares). Please refer to the section entitled Dilution of this Prospectus for further details of the immediate dilution of Shares incurred by new investors. We intend to issue Awards under our TEE Land PSP and/or Options under our TEE Land ESOS. To the extent that such Awards are released and/or such Options are granted and new Shares are issued pursuant to such release of Awards and grant of Options, there will be further dilution to investors participating in the Invitation. Please refer to the section entitled TEE Land Performance Share Plan and TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme, Appendix H Rules of the TEE Land Performance Share Plan and Appendix I Rules of the TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme of this Prospectus for rules of the TEE Land PSP and the TEE Land ESOS. - 36 -
RISK FACTORS
Investors may not be able to participate in future issues of our Shares
If we offer to our Shareholders rights to subscribe for additional Shares or any right of any other nature, we will have discretion as to the procedures to be followed in making the rights available to our Shareholders or in disposing of the rights for the benefit of our Shareholders and making the net proceeds available to our Shareholders. We may choose not to offer the rights to our Shareholders having an address outside Singapore. Accordingly, Shareholders who have a registered address outside Singapore may be unable to participate in rights offerings and may consequently experience a dilution in their shareholdings.
Additional funds raised through issuance of new Shares for future growth will dilute Shareholders equity interests
We may, in the future, expand our capabilities and business through acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic partnerships and alliances with parties who can add value to our business. We may require additional equity funding after the Invitation by way of a placement of new Shares or issue new Shares as consideration to finance future acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic partnerships and alliances, which may result in a dilution to the equity interests of our Shareholders. Further, in the event that the Company raises additional funds to meet its financing needs and existing Shareholders do not participate in the pro-rata fund raising activities such as rights issue, such Shareholders may experience a dilution in their shareholdings.
Future sales or issuance of our Shares could adversely affect our Share price
Any future sale or issuance of our Shares may have a downward pressure on our Share price. The sale of a significant amount of our Shares in the public market after the Invitation, or the perception that such sale may occur, could materially and adversely affect the market price of our Shares. These factors may also affect our ability to sell or issue additional equity securities. Except as otherwise described in the section entitled Shareholders Moratorium of this Prospectus and subject to applicable laws and regulations, there is currently no restriction on the ability of our Controlling Shareholder to sell its Shares, either on the SGX-ST or otherwise.
Our Share price may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for investors acquiring our Shares pursuant to the Invitation
The Issue Price was determined through a book-building exercise and arrived at after consultation between our Company, the Issue Manager, Underwriter and Lead Placement Agent and the Joint Placement Agent and after taking into consideration, inter alia, prevailing market conditions and estimated market demand for the Invitation Shares. Prior to the Invitation, there has been no public market for our Shares. Therefore, there is no assurance that an active public market will develop or be sustained after the Invitation. The Issue Price may not be indicative of prices which will prevail in the trading market after the Invitation and investors may not be able to sell their Shares at or above the Issue Price. Volatility in the trading price of our Shares may be caused by factors beyond our control and may not correlate with or be proportionate to our operating results. Further, the market price of our Shares may fluctuate significantly and rapidly in response to, inter alia, the following factors, some of which are beyond our control: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) variations in our operating results; changes in securities analysts estimates of our financial performance; changes in market valuations of similar companies; announcements by our competitors or ourselves of the gain or loss of significant acquisitions; strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; fluctuations in stock market price and volume;
- 37 -
RISK FACTORS
(g) (h) (i) (j) our involvement in litigation; changes in general economic and stock market conditions; additions or departures of key personnel; the perceived prospects of our business and investments and the real estate market in Singapore and other regions; the market value of our assets; our ability to implement successfully our investment and growth strategies; and broad market fluctuations, including weakness of the equity market and increases in interest rates.
For these reasons, among others, our Shares may trade at prices that are higher or lower than our NAV per Share. To the extent that there is any retention of operating cash for investment purposes, working capital requirements or other purposes, these retained funds, while increasing the value of our underlying assets, may not correspondingly increase the market price of our Shares. Any failure on our part to meet market expectations with regard to future earnings and cash distributions may adversely affect the market price for our Shares.
We do not have a fixed dividend policy and may not be able to pay dividends to our Shareholders
Other than Singapore, we have a business presence in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Some of our foreign Subsidiaries and Associated Companies are subject to the rules and regulations on currency conversion in the countries they operate in. Please refer to the section entitled Exchange Controls of this Prospectus for further details on the foreign exchange controls applicable to our operations in foreign countries. There is no assurance that we will pay dividends in the future or, if we pay dividends in the future, when we will pay them. The declaration and payment of future dividends will depend upon our operating results and cash flow, financial condition, other cash requirements including capital expenditures, the terms of borrowing arrangements (if any), general economic conditions and other factors specific to our industry, many of which are beyond our control as well as the ability of our foreign Subsidiaries and Associated Companies to pay dividends to us (which may be restricted by foreign exchange controls restrictions). Please refer to the section entitled Dividend Policy of this Prospectus, for further details.

Notes: (1) As at the Latest Practicable Date, TEE International, our Controlling Shareholder, has provided loans and advances of S$77.8 million for working capital purposes and to finance our expansion of property development activities. Such loans and advances were interest free, unsecured and repayable on demand. TEE International has agreed to capitalize S$63.0 million of such loans and advances into 63,000,000 new Shares of our Company and we intend to utilize up to S$15.0 million for the repayment of loans and advances to TEE International, our Controlling Shareholder. In the event that there is any excess amount after the repayment of such loans and advances, our Company will use the excess amount for the Groups general working capital purposes. Please refer to the section entitled Capitalization and Indebtedness of this Prospectus for more information. Assuming the Over-allotment Option is not exercised. Please refer to the section entitled Management and Underwriting Agreement and Placement Agreement of this Prospectus for more information. The above figures are based on the assumption that the maximum Incentive Fee is paid to the Lead Placement Agent and/or the Joint Placement Agent pursuant to the Placement Agreement.
If the Over-allotment Option is exercised in full, the additional net proceeds (after the payment of fees, commissions and other expenses (assuming that the maximum incentive fee is paid to the Stabilizing Manager in connection with the Over-allotment Shares) in relation to the subscription of the Overallotment Shares) is approximately S$12.0 million. The additional proceeds will be used for our general working capital requirements. In the opinion of our Directors, there is no minimum amount which must be raised from the Invitation. Please refer to the section entitled Prospects, Business Strategies and Future Plans of this Prospectus for further details. Save as disclosed in this Prospectus, none of the proceeds from the Invitation will be used to discharge, reduce or retire any indebtedness of our Group.

A resident company is also free to borrow in foreign currency up to the equivalent of RM100 million in aggregate on a corporate group basis from other non-residents, including financial institutions and related non-bank non-resident companies which are set up solely to obtain credit facilities. Approval from the Central Bank of Malaysia would be required for loan amounts which are above the equivalent of RM100 million in aggregate on a corporate group basis. For the purposes of the foreign exchange administration rules in Malaysia, a related company includes the ultimate holding company, parent or head office, branches (unincorporated entities), subsidiaries (companies that are more than 50% owned by the resident company), associated companies (companies that have between 10% and 50% shareholding relationship with the resident company) and sister companies (companies that have common shareholders with the resident company). There is also no registration requirement to obtain Central Banks approval for the repayment or prepayment of approved foreign currency borrowings from a non-resident lender by a resident as long as the loan obtained is within the permitted limit or specific permission from the controller has been obtained for the loan, and the repayment is made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the loan. Repayment of foreign currency borrowing with no fixed tenure or repayment schedule is deemed to be a prepayment, and therefore, the registration requirement is abolished. The approval requirements relating to residents obtaining foreign currency borrowings above the equivalent of RM100 million in aggregate on a corporate group basis remain unchanged. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Financial Services Act 2013 has been given royal assent and gazetted as law, but is yet to be in force. Once it is in force, it will repeal the Exchange Control Act 1953. The above foreign exchange policies and rules may be amended following the passing of the Financial Services Act 2013. Notwithstanding the above, the new Financial Services Act 2013 does not expressly provide any change in the exchange controls rules that the Company is currently already in compliance with.

EXCHANGE CONTROLS
Thailand
Thailands exchange controls are established by the Exchange Control Act B.E. 2485 (A.D. 1942) (ECA) and foreign exchange transactions are regulated by the Bank of Thailand. Under the ECA, payment of current transactions, such as payment for imported goods, payment for services outside of Thailand, interest payment on overseas loans, repatriation of profits or dividends on foreign investment, provided that there are evidence of supporting documents, may be made in unlimited amounts and do not require permission. In relation to payment for imported goods, importers may purchase or withdraw foreign currencies from their own foreign currency accounts for import payments upon submission of supporting documents. Letters of credits may also be opened without authorization. Outward remittances of amounts properly due to non-residents are permitted for items of a non-capital nature such as service fees, interest, dividends, profits, or royalties, provided that supporting documents are submitted to the banks or authorized financial institutions. Under the ECA, transfers in foreign currency for direct and portfolio investments in Thailand are freely permitted. Proceeds must be surrendered to a bank or an authorized financial institution or deposited in a foreign currency account with a bank or an authorized financial institution in Thailand within 360 days. Repatriation of capital investments may be made freely without requiring permission for repatriation of the principal amounts under loan agreements, repayment of capital investment following the liquidation of a business, and sale of equities, including outward remittances by Thai residents of foreign currencies for the purposes of, (a) in the case of a juristic entity, (i) making overseas investments of at least 10% in such shareholdings or loan extended to their overseas affiliated business establishments in an unlimited appropriate amount; (ii) lending to overseas establishments in an aggregate amount not exceeding US$50,000,000 per year; or (b) in the case of an individual, making overseas investments of at least 10% in such shareholdings in an aggregate amount not exceeding US$100,000,000 per year; or (c) buying overseas property not in excess of US$10,000,000. Individual and corporate investors can invest in securities abroad through private funds and securities companies. However, all outward remittances by Thai residents of foreign currencies to pay for securities in overseas markets must receive prior permission from the Thai Exchange Control Department.
Vietnam
Under the investment laws and foreign exchange regulations presently in force in Vietnam, subject to full discharge of their financial obligations to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, foreign investors are entitled to repatriate or remit profits derived from their business activities, payments received from the provision of technology and services and from intellectual property, offshore loan principal repayments as well as interest payments (subject to applicable withholding tax being paid on the interest payments), invested capital (upon the dissolution of the company, an approved capital reduction or termination of business cooperation contracts), and other sums of money and assets lawfully owned by the investor. Such repatriation or remittance must be conducted through the capital accounts of the foreign investors opened with the licensed banks located in Vietnam. For the purpose of remittance of profits, foreign investors are required to provide certain supporting documents to the remitting banks for verification. In the case of invested capital remittance, approval from the licensing authority is compulsory where the amount of repatriated capital exceeds the original amount of the registered capital. A foreign invested entity is entitled to buy foreign currency for its transactions in accordance with the Vietnamese foreign exchange regulations. Although it is not required to obtain approval for conversion of currency, the foreign invested entity may need to purchase foreign currency from the licensed commercial banks on an availability basis to settle offshore payments, including remittance of profits, capital and/or interest, when it does not have enough foreign currency in reserve.

DILUTION
Dilution is the amount by which the Issue Price paid by our new investors pursuant to the Invitation exceeds our unaudited proforma NAV per Share immediately after the Invitation. The unaudited proforma NAV as at 30 November 2012 before adjusting for the issue of the Invitation Shares was approximately S$0.2500 per Share based on our pre-Invitation share capital of 331,876,000 Shares. Based on the issue of 115,000,000 Invitation Shares at an Issue Price of S$0.54 per Share pursuant to the Invitation and after deducting estimated expenses incurred in connection with the Invitation, the unaudited proforma NAV of our Group as at 30 November 2012 would be S$0.3149 per Share. This represents an immediate increase in our unaudited proforma NAV of S$0.0649 per Share to our existing Shareholders and an immediate dilution in our unaudited proforma NAV of S$0.2251 per Share to our new investors. For illustrative purposes, the table below sets out the dilution per Share pursuant to the Invitation:

Cost of Sales Our cost of sales for property development comprises mainly costs associated with the development of properties which include land costs, related stamp duties on land purchase, development charges levied by the URA and construction costs. Most of our land costs and construction costs are funded by loans from financial institutions, shareholders equity and internal funds. Other development costs include project management costs such as architectural fees, design fees and other professional fees paid to mechanical, civil, structural, electrical engineers and registered land and quantitative surveyors. Development charges are levied for changes made to the existing development plans of a specific parcel of land, such as an increase in plot ratio or a change in usage of land. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition and construction of the property development are capitalized into costs to complete for the property, which in turn would be recognized as cost of sales based on the POC method for local properties. For overseas properties, such costs will also be capitalized and recognized as cost of sales only when the legal title passes to the buyer or when the equitable interest in the property vests in the buyer upon release of the handover notice of the respective properties to the buyer, whichever is earlier.

Other Operating Income Other operating income primarily includes (a) interest income earned on bank deposits and on loans granted to associated companies; (b) amortization of financial guarantee liability; and (c) foreign currency exchange adjustment gains. Our other operating income amounted to S$0.2 million, S$0.7 million, S$1.8 million, S$0.9 million and S$0.9 million in FY2010, FY2011, FY2012, HY2012 and HY2013, respectively. Administrative Expenses Administrative expenses comprise mainly (a) marketing expenses arising from marketing agents commissions, show-flat construction costs and other promotional activities related to property launches, publicity, advertising and other promotional activities; (b) employee benefit expenses which include directors remuneration and salaries of staff; and (c) corporate expenses such as office rental and professional fees. Our administrative expenses amounted to S$0.2 million, S$0.9 million, S$2.6 million, S$0.8 million and S$1.7 million in FY2010, FY2011, FY2012, HY2012 and HY2013, respectively. Other Operating Expenses Other operating expenses comprise mainly foreign currency exchange adjustment losses. Our other operating expenses amounted to S$0.2 million, S$0.1 million and S$0.1 million in FY2011, FY2012 and HY2013 respectively.

Our Group was principally subject to the Singapore income tax rate of 17% for FY2010, FY2011, FY2012, HY2012 and HY2013. The effective tax rates for the Group was 11.4%, 12.1%, 22.7%, 14.1% and 19.7% in FY2010, FY2011, FY2012, HY2012 and HY2013 respectively, which are based on tax expenses as a proportion of the Groups audited profit before tax. For FY2010, our Groups effective tax rate was 11.4% because of tax-exempt income and a deferred tax benefit utilized by a subsidiary. For FY2011, our Groups effective tax rate was 12.1% due to a higher share of after-tax results from associated companies(1). For FY2012, our Groups effective tax rate was 22.7%, higher than the statutory tax rate because of certain non-deductible expenses. For HY2012, our Groups effective tax rate was 14.1%, lower than the statutory tax rate because of certain tax-exempt income which was not taxable.
Note: (1) The effective tax rate in FY2011 was lower because the profit before tax of S$4.1 million comprised S$1.0 million share of associates profits, which were already taxed at the associated company levels.

FY2010 vs FY2011
Revenue Revenue increased by S$10.8 million or 88.5% from S$12.2 million in FY2010 to S$23.0 million in FY2011, mainly due to the recognition of revenue of S$13.9 million from our project development project at 31 and 31A Dunsfold Drive following the final completion of the development project and subsequent sale to buyers in FY2011. This was offset by (a) a reduction in revenue contribution from Cantiz@Rambai of S$1.1 million as the majority of the revenue had been recognized in FY2010 in accordance with the POC method; and (b) a reduction in rental income of S$2.0 million from the operation of the Marina Bay Sands workers dormitory contract.

HY2012 vs HY2013
Revenue Revenue increased by S$3.9 million or 134.5% from S$2.9 million in HY2012 to S$6.8 million in HY2013 due to higher revenue of S$6.7 million recognized from the sales of units from The Peak @ Cairnhill I and 448@East Coast (based on the respective stage of completion of these property development projects), which was offset by (a) a reduction of S$1.4 million in consultancy and service income from our associated company in Thailand due to the revenue being recognized in December 2011 for such consultancy services rendered to Chewathai Ratchaprarop (which was completed in March 2010); and (b) a reduction of S$1.4 million in rental income from the completion of the Marina Bay Sands workers dormitory contract in September 2011. Cost of Sales and Gross Profit Margin Cost of sales increased by S$4.6 million or 920.0% from S$0.5 million in HY2012 to S$5.1 million in HY2013, mainly due to the higher cost of sales of S$5.1 million in line with the progressive recognition of revenue from property development projects, namely, The Peak @ Cairnhill I and 448@East Coast (vis-vis the absence of revenue and cost of sales for development properties in HY2012), which was offset by a decrease in cost of sales of S$0.5 million attributable to the rental income from the workers dormitory at Marina Bay Sands (which contract was completed in September 2011). Gross profit decreased by S$0.7 million or 29.2% from S$2.4 million in HY2012 to S$1.7 million in HY2013. Gross profit margin decreased from 81.3% in HY2012 to 24.3% in HY2013 mainly due to (a) the absence of consultancy and service income from our associated company in Thailand, which contract was completed in March 2010 and the revenue was recognized in December 2011; and (b) the completion of the Marina Bay Sands workers dormitory contract in September 2011, which was offset by a gross profit margin of 23.4% from our property development projects, namely, The Peak @ Cairnhill I and 448@East Coast. Other Operating Income Other operating income remained relatively constant at S$0.9 million in HY2012 and HY2013. While interest income earned from loans provided to our associated companies for joint development projects remained at S$0.8 million in HY2012 and HY2013, there was an amortization of financial guarantee liability (a non-cash item) of S$0.1 million in HY2013 as a result of the financial guarantee provided by TEE Development to Chewathai (based on the Groups proportionate shareholding in Chewathai) for a credit facility granted to Chewathai, which was offset by a foreign currency exchange adjustment gain of S$0.1 million from loan receivables denominated in Thai Baht from our Associated Company in Thailand in HY2012.

Note: (1)
Our Group originally started as a business unit within TEE International, our Controlling Shareholder, to engage in real estate development business. Over the years, TEE International has injected capital to the various entities within our Group for working capital and new land bank acquisition. Our Group has obtained loans and advances from TEE International in the past as (i) the nature of the property development business is capital intensive for it involves the acquisition of land sites and construction costs; (ii) our Group normally finances approximately 30% of the property costs by equity contribution; and (iii) there is a time lag to receive the cash proceeds from the sale of our Groups property development projects.

These development properties are mortgaged to financial institutions as securities for bank loans which are used to finance our development projects.

Cash and bank balances were S$8.8 million or 6.2% of total current assets, of which S$8.5 million was held under the project accounts maintained in respect of the development projects. As the withdrawal of monies from the project accounts is regulated by the Housing Developers (Project Account) Rules, the monies in the project accounts are restricted to payments for the relevant development projects until completion of these projects. The balance of S$0.3 million is in cash at banks and is not restricted in use. There are no restrictions on the payment of the monies from the project accounts upon satisfaction of the conditions as stipulated in the Housing Developers (Project Account) Rules. Trade receivables were S$4.2 million and accounted for 3.0% of total current assets, of which S$2.4 million was in contract trade receivables due from our customers for property purchases and S$1.8 million was due from our Thai associated company for consultancy services provided.

Note: (1) Cash and cash equivalents comprise bank deposits (not restricted in use) and project accounts which are bank balances held under the Housing Developers Project Account Rules (the use of which is restricted to payments for the relevant development projects until completion of the projects).
Cash flows from our property development business are project-based, and may experience significant fluctuations depending on the progressive payments received from the purchasers. Due to the expansion of our business, we experienced negative operating cash flows in FY2011, FY2012 and HY2013. In FY2011, we had negative operating cash flows of S$8.5 million mainly due to the acquisition of land and properties for development (net of progress payments received up to 31 May 2011) amounting to S$29.7 million. In FY2012, we had negative operating cash flows of S$6.0 million as a result of acquisition of land and properties for development (net of progress payments received up to 31 May 2012) amounting to S$11.8 million. In HY2013, we had negative operating cash flows of S$27.5 million mainly due to the acquisition of land and properties for development (net of progress payments received up to 30 November 2012) amounting to S$29.5 million. The negative operating cash flows are due to the accounting treatment of capital inflows and outflows in relation to the property development projects as the consideration paid for the acquisition of land and properties were recorded as cash outflow for operating activities and the bank borrowings drawn down were classified as cash inflows for financing activities. As at the Latest Practicable Date, our Group remains in a healthy financial position and is expected to meet its short term liabilities as and when they fall due as (i) the cash flows before movements in working capital are generally positive; (ii) the audited cash and bank balances of our Group amounted to S$8.8 million as at 30 November 2012; (iii) the audited net current assets of our Group amounted to S$33.0 million; and (iv) the audited equity attributable to owners of the Company amounted to S$16.0 million as at 30 November 2012.
- 88 -
FY2011
In FY2011, net cash flows from operating activities before movements in working capital amounted to S$2.6 million. Net cash used in operating activities amounted to S$8.5 million mainly due to (a) an increase in development properties of S$29.7 million(1) (comprising The Peak @ Cairnhill I, 448@East Coast, Aura 83 and 91 Marshall); (b) a decrease in trade payables of S$1.5 million; and (c) an increase in trade receivables of S$0.2 million, which were offset by (i) an increase in other payables of S$21.1 million(2); and (ii) a decrease in other receivables of S$0.3 million. In addition, there were interest paid of S$1.0 million and income tax paid of S$0.1 million. Net cash used in investing activities was S$9.8 million mainly due to (a) loans of S$8.7 million provided to our associated companies to finance their property projects and developments (comprising Rezi 26, The Boutiq, Sky Green and Palacio); and (b) an increase in investment in associates of S$1.2 million, which were offset by interest received of S$0.1 million. Net cash from financing activities was S$26.8 million mainly due to (a) a drawdown in long-term bank loans of S$31.4 million; and (b) proceeds on issue of new shares amounting to S$3.0 million, which were offset by a repayment of long-term bank loans of S$7.6 million. As a result, there was a net increase of S$8.5 million in cash and cash equivalents. As at 31 May 2011, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to S$8.9 million.
Notes: (1) The development properties increased by S$29.7 million in FY2011 which resulted in a year-end balance of S$70.7 million as at 31 May 2011. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the cash received from the sale of units from the above-mentioned projects was S$40.4 million. The increase in other payables of S$21.1 million was largely due to an increase in loans and advances from TEE International. The increase in loans and advances of S$21.9 million was offset by a S$0.8 million decrease in other payables, thus resulting in a cash inflow of S$21.1 million. Such loans and advances were needed to finance the Companys development property projects and for working capital purposes.

HY2013
In HY2013, operating cash flows before movements in working capital amounted to a negative S$0.1 million. Net cash used in operations amounted to S$27.5 million mainly due to (a) an increase of S$29.5 million in development properties because of an increase of approximately S$32.7 million from The Peak @ Cairnhill I and two other property development projects located at Hillside Drive and Selangor, Malaysia respectively, consequent to the legal completion of the acquisition of land on which the properties are based and capitalization of the development costs, such increase of which was in turn offset against (i) the decrease of approximately S$1.5 million from 448@East Coast arising from the recognition of the cost of sales in accordance with the construction schedule and based on percentage of completion, and (ii) the decrease of approximately S$1.6 million arising from our property development projects, namely, Aura 83 and 91 Marshall; (b) an increase of S$1.9 million in trade receivables due to the increase in contract trade receivables as a result of billings to customers of The Peak @ Cairnhill I and 448@East Coast; (c) an increase of S$2.2 million in other receivables due largely to a S$1.0 million increase in nontrade receivables pending transfer of land to development property for Vietnam, a S$0.7 million increase in marketing costs prepayments for our property development projects, and a S$0.5 million increase in interest from associates and related companies; and (d) a decrease of S$0.2 million in trade payables, which were offset by an increase of S$7.7 million in other payables consequent to an increase of S$7.6 million in loans and advances from TEE International for our Groups development property activities and investments in associated companies for purposes of undertaking various joint development property projects. In addition, there were also interest paid of S$0.8 million and income tax paid of S$0.4 million. Net cash from investing activities was S$0.9 million mainly due to (a) a decrease in loans receivable from associates of S$0.9 million; and (b) interest received of S$0.5 million, which were offset by (i) an increase in investment in associates of S$0.4 million; and (ii) an increase in office equipment and renovation of S$0.1 million.

The above capital expenditures were financed by internal sources. There were no divestments made by us during the Period Under Review and for the period from 1 December 2012 to the Latest Practicable Date. Capital Commitments As at the Last Practicable Date, we do not have any material capital commitments. Contingent Liabilities As at the Latest Practicable Date, we do not have any material contingent liabilities. FOREIGN EXCHANGE MANAGEMENT Accounting Treatment of Foreign Currencies The functional currency of companies in our Group is SGD as it reflects the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in the relevant functional currency at the rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of reporting period. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the end of the reporting period are recognized as profit or loss. Foreign Exchange Exposure We have not been significantly exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations as our revenue and expenses are mainly denominated in SGD. Our foreign currency exchange adjustment gains and losses for the FY2010, FY2011, FY2012 and HY2013 have not been significant.

Business Overview
We are a property developer with an established track record in delivering quality and well-designed residential property developments in Singapore. Our property development projects are pre-dominantly freehold in tenure and are targeted at middle-to-high income consumers who value exclusivity in good locations. Whilst we continue to specialize in residential property developments, we are expanding into commercial and industrial property development projects. Leveraging on our experience and expertise in property development in Singapore, we have also extended our geographical reach to Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. While we seek to undertake more property development projects which are solely developed by our Group, we remain open to strategic partnerships and joint ventures to co-operate with like-minded partners with complementary strengths to enhance the future growth of our property development business. Please refer to the section entitled General Information on Our Group Our Business Our Property Development Projects for further details about our property development projects as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Foreign jurisdictions
For property development projects in Thailand, the payment terms granted to our customers, the purchasers, are based on a progressive payment schedule. Under Thai law, foreign ownership is capped at 49% of a condominiums total area. Pursuant to Section 19 Bis of the Thai Condominium Act (TCA), the foreign ownership cap of 49% of a condominiums total area applies to sales and/or purchases of all condominium units in Thailand. For purposes of registering the sale/purchase of the condominium unit with the land office, the manager of the Condominium Juristic Person (the CJP) will be required to provide a letter confirming that the foreign quota is available. The land official will also check the availability of the foreign quota and will only register the transfer of ownership if the foreign quota remains available. In the event the foreign ownership cap of 49% is exceeded, based on the TCA and the Land Code, the foreign purchaser will likely have to dispose of such condominium unit within 180 days. If the foreign purchaser fails to do so, the Director-General of the Land Department will have authority to sell such unit by way of auction and thereafter surrender the proceeds from the sale to such foreign purchaser. Generally, for a new property development project, customers will have to pay approximately 11% of the purchase price before any structural work begins. Subsequently, approximately 39% of the purchase price will be payable progressively at various stages of the construction process, and the remaining 50% will be payable after transfer of the legal title to the Purchaser. There was no material provision or material write-off of bad debts for FY2010, FY2011, FY2012 and HY2013. As at 31 May 2010 and 31 May 2011, our trade receivables balances amounted to S$2.2 million and S$2.4 million, respectively, which comprised amounts due from our customers for purchase of our property development projects. As at 31 May 2012 and 30 November 2012, our trade receivables balances (excluding amounts owed by an Associated Company for our Companys provision of consultancy services) amounted to S$0.5 million and S$2.4 million, respectively, which comprised amounts due from customers for purchase of our property development projects. The aggregate costs incurred and the profit or loss recognized in each property development that has been sold are compared against progress billings up to the end of the relevant financial year or period. Where incurred costs and recognized profit (less recognized losses) exceed progress billings, the balance is shown as due from customers on property development projects under trade receivables. Due to the nature of our trade receivables, it is not meaningful to compute the average trade receivables turnover days for the periods under review.

We have an established network of business relationships with other property developers and contractors
Having entered into joint ventures with other established property developers and having gained considerable experience through these joint venture partnerships, we have developed and maintained relationships with an extensive and established network of joint venture partners who are able to contribute to the success of our property development projects. This has enabled us to leverage on our joint venture partners experience and business connections to tap on their expertise and resources and to capitalize on suitable market opportunities for future growth. Our established business relationships with overseas business partners have also provided us with the advantage to gain access into foreign markets in countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Further, we have established strong working relationships with our contractors whom we have worked with over the years which allow us to benefit from a higher level of commitment and a smoother property development process in terms of work planning, co-ordination and standard of workmanship.
We are expanding beyond residential property development and have a regional presence in South-East Asia
Whilst we continue to specialize in residential property development, we are also expanding into commercial property development projects such as 223@Mountbatten and two other property development projects located at Sam Leong Road and Selangor, Malaysia respectively, as well as industrial property development project located in Rayong province, Thailand held through Chewathai. A diversified range of projects from different sectors will enable us to be less affected by adverse changing market conditions in any single property segment. Leveraging on our experience and expertise in property development in Singapore, we have also extended our geographical reach to Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
We understand the needs of our customers in the countries our Group operates in
We are a focused player in the property development business. Through our experience and involvement in the property development business, we understand the local social demographics and supply and demand factors that may affect the property market. As such, we believe that such knowledge puts us in good stead to develop property development projects that appeal to our customers in the different regions in which our Group operates.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
Permits, Licences, Approvals, Certifications and Government Regulations We are subject to the relevant laws and regulations of the countries in which we operate in relation to property development. Our Board believes that, as at the Latest Practicable Date, we have obtained all requisite approvals and are in compliance with all approvals, licences, permits, laws and regulations that would materially affect our business operations. The following are brief descriptions of the material licences typically obtained for property development businesses in the countries we operate in. Singapore Housing Developers Licence The housing developers licence is required for a developer who intends to develop a project with more than four units of housing accommodation and it has to be obtained prior to undertaking the business of housing development. Housing developers can apply for either a Sale licence or a No-Sale licence, depending on whether they meet the respective requirements. We typically apply for the Sale licence, which allows us to commence construction and start selling the units in the development upon obtaining the building plan approval. The licence will be issued subject to, inter alia, the following conditions: (a) (b) strict compliance with the applicable laws governing housing development in Singapore; no option be granted and no agreement for the sale of houses/flats be entered into until: (i) building plans have been approved by the Commissioner of Building Control (as appointed under the Building Control Act (Chapter 29) of Singapore), and the planning permission and building plan approval has been given and not invalidated by the URA or the Commissioner of Building Control;
(ii)
(c)
the developer shall not after the redemption of the mortgage of the land, further encumber the land or the housing unit by way of a mortgage or by any other means and no caveat shall be lodged in respect of the land or the housing unit; and other records must, commencing from the date the first option is granted, be sent to the Controller of Residential Property.
(d)
The licence remains in force until the date of the issuance of the Certificate of Statutory Completion and the Subsidiary Strata Certificates of Title or the Certificates of Title, whichever is applicable, for all the units of the development, unless otherwise earlier revoked. Further, we are required to furnish all records, commencing from the date the first option is granted, to the Controller of Residential Property, and to comply with the Housing Developers (Project Account) Rules with respect to the administration of the accounts of our property development projects. Compliance with Residential Property Act (the RPA) The RPA restricts the purchase or transfer of residential property to approved purchasers, including Singapore companies. A Singapore company, as defined under the RPA, is a company in which all of members and directors are Singapore citizens or where the member is another company, in which all the members and directors of such company are Singapore citizens. The aforesaid restriction does not apply to the following residential properties: (a) any flat that is comprised in any building in a development permitted to be used for residential purposes, and that is not a landed dwelling-house;
- 114 -
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
(b) any unit comprised in a development which is shown in an approved plan bearing the title condominium and issued under the Planning Act; and any unit in a development comprising housing accommodation sold under the executive condominium scheme established under the Executive Condominium Housing Scheme Act,
(c)
provided that a foreign person shall not, without the prior approval of the Minister of Law, acquire all the flats or units in the building or development. A foreign person is also not prohibited from acquiring an estate or interest in any development under any agreement, lease or assignment for a term not exceeding seven years, including any further term which may be granted by way of an option for renewal. For the purposes of this Section, (1) approved purchaser means: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) a Singapore company; a Singapore limited liability partnership; a Singapore society; a foreign person to whom approval has been granted under section 25, 30 or 31 of the RPA; any person, company, limited liability partnership, society, association or other organisation or body who or which has been exempted by the minister under section 32 of the RPA; or any body, corporate or otherwise, declared by the minister by notification in the Gazette to be a public authority or an instrumentality or agency of the Government.
(f)
(2)
foreign person means any person who is not any of the following: (a) (b) (c) (d) a citizen of Singapore; a Singapore company; a limited liability partnership; and a Singapore society.
Clearance Certificate
Under the RPA, Singapore companies are required to obtain a clearance certificate stating that the company may acquire and retain residential properties, subject to the provisions of the RPA, from the Controller of Residential Property, prior to the vesting of the estate or interest in any residential property which is restricted under the RPA. Prior to the acquisitions of their respective properties, our Subsidiaries and Associated Companies, which were Singapore companies, had obtained the necessary clearance certificates to acquire and retain residential properties.
Qualifying Certificate
Under the RPA, a housing developer, not being a Singapore company holding a clearance certificate, shall, before purchasing or acquiring an estate or interest in any residential property, apply to the Controller of Residential Property for approval to purchase or acquire the residential property (the qualifying certificate).
- 115 -
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
A qualifying certificate issued by the Controller of Residential Property to a housing developer would generally require the housing developer to use the residential land for purposes of development and to dispose of the entire property after completion of the development within a certain time frame. Where the housing developer is a company, any changes in the shareholding and shareholders of the housing developer will be subject to the written approval of the Controller of Residential Property. Further, the permission of the Controller of Residential Property will have to be obtained if the company wishes to hold any part of such properties for investment purposes (under section 25). The issue of such qualifying certificate by the Controller of Residential Property will be subject to the imposition of such conditions as the Controller of Residential Property deems fit, including the imposition of time limits for the completion of the development and sale of the project. Should any of the companies in our Group wish to retain any units in the residential property projects which we develop, permission may have to be obtained from the Controller of Residential Property. Prior to the Restructuring Exercise, our Subsidiaries and Associated Companies were not regarded as Singapore companies under the RPA as TEE International, being listed on the Main Board of the SGXST, had shareholders which may consist of non-Singapore citizens. As such, our Subsidiaries and Associated Companies had obtained the qualifying certificates prior to the acquisitions of their respective properties. Pursuant to Section 31(3)(b) of the RPA, where the housing developer is a company, a limited liability partnership or a society, no person who holds any shares in the company or who is a partner in the limited liability partnership or member of the society shall, without the approval of the Controller of Residential Property (which may be granted with or without conditions), sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of his shares or any interest in such shares to any other person, or resign as such partner or member, as the case may be. Accordingly, the Company needs to obtain, and has obtained the approval from the Controller of Residential Property, in respect of the change of shareholders of our Subsidiaries and Associated Companies due to the Restructuring Exercise. After the Invitation, any of our Subsidiaries or Associated Companies intending to purchase or acquire an estate or interest in any residential property would be required to apply to the Controller of Residential Property for a qualifying certificate to purchase or acquire the residential property. Nothing has come to our attention which leads us to believe that we may not be able to obtain qualifying certificates for our subsequent property development business. Our Directors are therefore of the view that the requirement of qualifying certificates will not materially impact our property development business. URA and BCA Approval All proposed property development projects in Singapore require a written permission granted by URA setting out specific requirements and limits for each property development, such as land use, gross plot ratio, building height and building form on the development site. Approvals will also be needed for any changes in the use of the land and/or premises from URA. Subsequent to obtaining the written permission from the URA, building plans will be submitted to BCA for approval, after clearance from the relevant government authorities, such as the Land Transport Authority, National Environment Agency and Fire Safety & Shelter Department, where applicable, is granted. Upon obtaining the Notice of Approval for our building plans and a Permit to carry out structural works from BCA, we can then proceed with construction in accordance with such approvals. Conditions imposed by Singapore Land Authority To optimize the use of State Land, the government encourages and may in suitable cases also require developers of adjoining land to purchase and amalgamate any remnant land and its development potentials into their development projects. Sales of such land are subject to terms and conditions, which include the requirements imposed by any relevant government authorities or agencies as indicated in the alienation recommendation from the Singapore Land Authority. The proposed use and development control will be subject to the main private land planning and building approvals. - 116 -

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
Environmental Quality Act 1974 A license from the Director General of Environmental Quality is required for any activity which involves the discharge of environmentally hazardous substances, pollutants or wastes which is hazardous or potentially hazardous to public health, or to animals, birds, wildlife, fish or aquatic life, or to plants. Real estate developments may have to undergo an environmental impact assessment prior to approval and implementation of the development. Activities subject to the environment impact assessment are agriculture, airport, drainage and irrigation, land reclamation, fisheries, forestry, housing, industry, infrastructure, ports, mining, petroleum, power generation and transmission, quarries, railways, transportation, resort and recreational development, waste treatment and disposal and water supply. Thailand Real estate development and construction in Thailand are primarily governed by the Building Control Act (the Thai BCA) and the Town and City Planning Act (the TCPA). The Thai BCA sets out the rules and regulations issued by the Thai government on the relevant application procedures, approvals, permits, licenses and sanctions, whereas the TCPA deals with the permissible uses of land in different zones. Under both the Thai BCA and the TCPA, there are several subsidiary ministerial regulations, relating to structural design, fire protection, waste treatment etc. There are also other environmental regulations that affect construction, for example, the Nature Reserve Act and the Forest Act. Further, development of condominiums and housing estates requires compliance with the Condominium Act and the Land Allocation Act, respectively, whereas the operation of hotels, villas and resorts requires compliance with the Hotel Act. In addition, the applicable laws and regulations might vary according to the location of the development, as there may be different requirements, conditions, and regulations stipulated by local provinces or its respective administrative authority with respect to building requirements pertaining to amongst others, set-back, slope and the height of the building. Pursuant to Thailand laws and regulations, all companies which own and develop land for sale in Thailand must be Thai companies (i.e. 51% of their share capital must be held and owned by Thai shareholders, who must also be majority shareholders in the company). Also, a company incorporated in Thailand (with majority of its share capital held by Thai nationalities) is not regarded as foreign entity and hence, is not required to obtain a licence for the operation of the property development businesses. Notwithstanding this, prior to the development of any project, the following licences and permits may be required to be obtained: (i) Land Allocation Permit. For the development of housing estates whereby sub-division of the land is more than 9 plots, a land allocation permit is required. The land allocation permit has no expiry date and is transferable. The application for the permit is to be submitted to the land office, which has jurisdiction over the land. Building Permit. All constructions of buildings require building permits issued by the local administrative authority in the relevant province, which has jurisdiction over the land. The building permit is generally valid for one year and is renewable until completion of the construction. Use Permit. Upon the completion of certain constructions (for example a condominium), the developer is required to apply for the Use Permit. The relevant authority will then inspect the construction of the building, verify whether construction is in compliance with the plans and layout submitted, and determine if the building is ready for occupation. In the event that the construction is not in compliance, the relevant authority will instruct the developer to revise and alter the construction according to the plans and layout submitted. Upon satisfaction of compliance, the Use Permit will be granted and there is no expiry date for the Use Permit. The Use Permit is an important document because it will be required prior to the application for a condominium registration and/or hotel licence.
(ii)
(iii)
- 119 -
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
(iv) Condominium registration. For condominium projects, upon receipt of the Use Permit, the developer must register the building as a condominium with the Land Office in Thailand. Further, the developer must also register a condominium juristic person (CJP). The responsibilities of the CJP are to maintain and manage the common properties. The CJP also has duties as stated in the Condominium Act such as preparing a yearly balance sheet which shows the amount of assets and debts of the condominium including the expense and received amount and prepare an annual report to present its performance in the past year to the co-owners. The management of the CJP will be controlled by the manager appointed by a resolution of the coowners meeting and will be under the supervision of the condominium committee which consists of 3 to 9 unit owners appointed by a resolution of the co-owners meeting. (v) Registration of Housing Estate Juristic Person. Unlike the case of condominiums, the developer is not required to register a Housing Estate Juristic Person (HEJP). However, the developer will have a duty to maintain the common infrastructure (as determined under the Land Allocation Act), unless a HEJP has been legally established. The HEJP applies the same concept as the CJP and is introduced to release the obligations of the developer in a housing estate project.
In addition to the foregoing licences and permits, construction or business operations with the following specifications/parameters are required to submit an Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) to the Natural Resources and Environment Office for its approval prior to construction: (a) buildings having a height of or exceeding 23 meters or having a usable area exceeding 10,000 sq. m. which is located adjacent to the river, coastline, lake or beach; land allocation for the residential purpose or commercial purpose having sub-divided at or exceeding 500 plots of land or having an area exceeding 100 Rai; hotels or resorts having more than 80 units or having a usable area of or more than 4,000 sq. m.; and residential buildings having 80 units or more or having a usable area of or more than 4,000 sq. m..
(b)
(c)
(d)
In certain areas outside of Bangkok, construction or business operations with the following specifications/parameters are also required to submit an Initial Environmental Evaluation (IEE) to the Natural Resources and Environment Office for its approval: (a) (b) (c) hotels or resorts with more than 10 units; residential buildings, as defined under the Building Control Act, with more than 10 units; leasing out residential houses (exceeding 10 units) located in the same plot of land or adjacent land for the purposes of providing temporary residence in exchange for payment; and projects with more than 10 plots of land, or an area less than 100 Rai, where the land has been allocated for residential or commercial purposes.
(d)
Please note that the specifications/parameters set out for the IEE above may vary according to the location of the development project.
- 120 -
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
From time to time, there is uncertainty in interpreting laws and regulations by authorities in Thailand, in relation to the nominees of foreign investors carrying on prohibited or restricted businesses as provided in the Thailand Foreign Business Act or land ownership by foreigners in Thailand as provided in the Thailand Land Code or the Condominium Act as well as the regulations issued thereunder. In our case, the ownership of the land is held by the Groups Associated Companies in Thailand. These Associated Companies are incorporated in Thailand and the majority stakes are held by Thailand local companies. The shareholding interests in the Associated Companies are held directly by the Group without any nominees. Vietnam According to the laws of Vietnam, foreign investors are allowed to have 100.0% ownership in a limited liability company to carry out real estate projects. However, if the joint venture company converts into a public joint stock company, the foreign ownership will be capped at 49.0%. In Vietnam, the real estate business is considered as a conditional sector for foreign investment, which means that foreign investors (including companies with foreign shareholders) are only allowed to conduct two real estate business, namely (i) developing houses and buildings for sale and lease; and (ii) upgrading land and investing in infrastructure works on the leased land in order to lease out land with completed infrastructure. In addition, they must satisfy certain conditions set by the Vietnamese government, including the conditions regarding forms of investment, conditions applicable to establishment of business entities and conditions on market access. All foreign investors must obtain an Investment Certificate (IC) to be permitted to carry out their investment project in Vietnam. The IC serves as a certificate of incorporation and business registration. In order to obtain the IC and be allowed to engage in real estate business, foreign investors must satisfy the following two conditions: (i) a minimum capital of 6 billion Vietnamese Dongs (equal to USD288,000 or S$360,000) for purposes of injection into the charter capital of the proposed company; and in the case of a joint venture for a residential zone project: a. if the project is smaller than 20 Ha of land, to have minimum capital of not less than 15% of the total investment capital; or if the project is equal to or more than 20 Ha of land, to have minimum capital of not less than 20% of the total investment capital.
(ii)
b.
The Groups Vietnam associated subsidiary, Viet-TEE, has a valid investment certificate which serves as legal recognition by the Vietnam authority that it has complied with the above-mentioned restrictions. In addition, foreigners or companies with foreign shareholders are generally not allowed to acquire freehold titles over land in Vietnam. The Vietnamese government only allows such developers to lease/own the land for the purposes of development of real estate projects for a period up to 50 years (or 70 years in some exceptional cases) subject to a condition that foreign investors implement the project in accordance with the registered schedule as defined in the IC. Failure to complete development within the relevant timeframe might result in the Vietnamese government withdrawing the IC and recovering the land.
- 121 -
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
In the area of real estate property development, in addition to the IC, property developers are required to obtain other approvals, permits and consents related to lands and construction in which investors develop their real estate projects from the relevant competent authorities, including: (i) In-principle approval by the local government or other competent state authority (depending on the location and scale of project) on development of the real estate project; Approval of detailed master plans for construction (1:500 scale); Approval of architectural drawings and designs; Construction permit; Land use right certificate (LURC)(1); Approval on fire prevention and fighting system; and Approval for environment impact assessment report/undertaking.
With regard to residential house development projects, the Housing Law provides that the projects must be consistent with construction zoning and housing development programs of the relevant locality and the requirements on architectural plans applicable for each type of houses. Housing developments projects must be appraised in accordance with the construction law and undergo quality checks before being put into operation.
Note: (1) Vietnam does not recognize private ownership over the land. Business entities and individuals are only allowed to have land use rights (LUR). There are three ways foreign property developers can acquire a LUR to develop a project: (i) by way of land lease from the State; (ii) by way of contribution by its local partners as equity to joint venture or business cooperation; and (iii) by assignment of an investment project from a local company. In all these cases, the period of a LURC granted is limited to the term of investment reflected in the IC (50 years or 70 years approved on case-by-case basis).

Source: URA(1)
In respect of take-up rates, based on the 4th Quarter 2012 Real Estate Statistics(2) released by URA on 25 January 2013, for the year 2012 as a whole, 21,478 uncompleted private residential units (excluding executive condominiums) were launched, compared with the 17,710 units launched in 2011. For the year 2012 as a whole, 22,197 private residential units were sold by developers, compared with the 15,904 units sold in 2011. While the Singapore government has demonstrated its efforts and commitments in stabilizing the residential property market, our Directors are of the view that demand drivers, such as: (a) (b) (c) (d) the current low interest rate and high liquidity environment; the trend of HDB dwellers upgrading to private homes as average household income rises; the allure of property assets as an investment; the projected population growth(3) to between 5.8 and 6.0 million by 2020 and between 6.5 and 6.9 million by 2030; and the proposed improvements in transport infrastructure (such as the proposed expansion of the MRT lines),
(e)
will continue to bolster demand for private housing. In particular, in connection with the projected increase in population to 6.9 million by 2030 as detailed in the publication A Sustainable Population for a Dynamic Singapore Population White Paper by the National Population and Talent Division issued on 29 January 2013, the Ministry of National Development has on 31 January 2013 released a Land Use Plan detailing an increase in land to support the increase in population, including an increase in land use for housing from 10,000 hectares in 2010 to 13,000 hectares by 2030 and plans to build 700,000 new homes for a projected population of 6.9 million in 2030.

Our Business Strategies and Future Plans We are committed to delivering quality and well-designed property developments that meet high standards for architecture, aesthetics and functionality. In order to achieve this, we aim to carry out the following business strategies and future plans:
Focus on quality residential property development and expand into commercial and industrial property development
Our current property development projects are pre-dominantly freehold in tenure and are targeted at middle-to-high income consumers who value exclusivity in good locations. We will continue to invest in land sites with good locations for development into quality residential units with innovative designs and lifestyle themes to cater to our target consumers. To ensure sustainable growth of our Group, we are also expanding into commercial and industrial property development projects, which we believe will generate stable rental income. It is intended that our Groups current commercial and industrial property development projects will be leased out for rental income. Nonetheless, if there are suitable commercial or industrial assets which our Group can develop and sell for an attractive profit margin, our Group may consider doing so. While we seek to undertake more property development projects which are solely developed by our Group, we remain open to strategic partnerships and joint ventures to co-operate with like-minded partners with complementary strengths to enhance the future growth of our property development business.

TEE LAND PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND TEE LAND EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
TEE LAND PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN In conjunction with our listing on the Official List of the SGX-ST, we have adopted a performance share plan known as the TEE Land Performance Share Plan, which was approved by our Shareholders on 11 May 2013. Our Company recognizes that the contributions and continued dedication of our employees and Nonexecutive Directors are critical to the future growth and development of our Group. The TEE Land Performance Share Plan is a share-based incentive plan that will complement the TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme (details of which are set out below) and form an integral part of our incentive compensation program. Similar to the TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme, the objective of the TEE Land Performance Share Plan is to recognize the contribution of its participants (Plan Participants) so as to achieve greater growth for our Company. Unlike the options granted under the TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme, the TEE Land Performance Share Plan is designed to reward the Plan Participants with the award comprising fully paid Shares, or the equivalent in cash or a combination of both (the Award), at the sole discretion of the Company. Awards granted under the TEE Land Performance Share Plan will vest only after the satisfaction of the prescribed service conditions as may be decided by the Company at the relevant point in time and/or according to the extent to which Plan Participants achieve their performance targets over set performance periods, as determined by the committee administering the TEE Land Performance Share Plan. The performance targets set are based on medium-term corporate objectives covering market competitiveness, quality of returns, business growth and productivity growth. Examples of performance targets to be set include targets based on criteria such as shareholders return, return on equity and EPS. By working toward and achieving their own performance targets, the Plan Participants would at the same time be indirectly assisting us in attaining our objectives and strategic business goals. We will have the flexibility to grant both time-based Awards and performance-based Awards to a Plan Participant concurrently. The TEE Land Performance Share Plan is currently primarily targeted at executives in key positions who are able to drive our growth through innovation, creativity and superior performance. These executives are those categorized by us as typically having the title of Director and above. A summary of the rules of the TEE Land Performance Share Plan is set out in Appendix H Rules of the TEE Land Performance Share Plan of this Prospectus. In deciding on an Award to be granted to a Plan Participant, the committee administering the TEE Land Performance Share Plan will also consider the compensation and/or benefits to be given to the Plan Participant under any concurrent share scheme implemented by us. The number of new Shares to be issued under the TEE Land Performance Share Plan and the TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme will be subject to the existing maximum limit of 15% of our Companys total issued share capital (excluding treasury shares). TEE LAND EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME In conjunction with our listing on the Official List of the SGX-ST, we have adopted an Employee Share Option Scheme known as the TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme which was approved by our Shareholders on 11 May 2013. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this section shall have the same meaning ascribed to it in either Appendix H Rules of the TEE Land Performance Share Plan or Appendix I Rules of the TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme, as the case may be. The TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme will provide eligible participants with an opportunity to participate in the equity of our Company and will motivate them toward better performance through increased dedication and loyalty. The TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme, which forms an integral and important component of our compensation plan, is designed to primarily reward and retain employees whose services are vital to our success.

TEE LAND PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND TEE LAND EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Option has been granted under the TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme. A summary of the rules of the TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme is set out in Appendix I Rules of the TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme of this Prospectus. The rationale for having the TEE Land Performance Share Plan in addition to the TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme (collectively, the Schemes) is to give us greater flexibility in structuring marketcompetitive compensation packages of eligible participants and to provide an additional tool to motivate and retain staff members. Disclosures in Annual Report The following disclosures (as applicable) will be made by us in our annual report for so long as the Schemes continue in operation: (a) (b) the names of the members of the Committee administering the Schemes; in relation to the TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme: (i) the information required in the table below for the following Participants: a. b. directors of the Company; and Participants, other than directors of the Company, who have received Shares, pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under the TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme which, in aggregate represent five per cent.

Administration of the Schemes The Committee, comprising the members of the Remuneration Committee and the Nominating Committee, is responsible for the administration of the Schemes. In compliance with the requirements of the Listing Manual, a participant of the Schemes who is a member of the Committee shall not be involved in its deliberations in respect of Options or Awards (as the case may be) to be granted or held by that member of the Committee. Participation of Executive Directors and employees of associated companies The extension of the Schemes to directors and employees of Group Associated Companies allows us to have a fair and equitable system to reward directors and employees who have made and who continue to make significant contributions to our long-term growth. We believe that the Schemes will enable us to attract, retain and incentivize such directors and employees, to encourage greater dedication and loyalty by enabling us to give recognition to past contributions and services as well as to motivate such directors and employees to contribute to our long-term growth.

TEE LAND PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND TEE LAND EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
Financial effects of the Schemes
Share Capital
The Schemes will result in an increase in our Groups issued share capital when the Options are exercised into new Shares and when new Shares are issued to Participants pursuant to the grant of the Awards. This will in turn depend on, among others, the number of Shares comprised in the Options to be granted and the Awards to be vested, the respective vesting schedules under the Options and the Awards and in the case of Options, the prevailing market price of our Shares on the SGX-ST. However, with respect to the TEE Land Performance Share Plan, if existing Shares are purchased for delivery to Plan Participants in lieu of issuing new Shares to Plan Participants, there will be no impact on our Groups issued share capital.
- 146 -
TEE LAND PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN AND TEE LAND EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
During the vesting period, the consolidated EPS would be reduced by both the expense recognized and the potential ordinary shares to be issued under the Share Plan. NTA per Share would be diluted as a result of the reduced NTA if existing Shares are purchased or the increased share capital if new Shares are issued. We have made an application to the SGX-ST for permission to deal in and for quotation of our Shares which may be issued pursuant to the grant of Awards under the TEE Land Performance Share Plan or upon the exercise of the Options to be granted under the TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme. The approval of the SGX-ST is not to be taken as an indication of the merits of our Group, our Subsidiaries, our Shares, the Invitation Shares or the issue of new Shares arising from the grant of Awards pursuant to the TEE Land Performance Share Plan or arising from the exercise of Options pursuant to the TEE Land Employee Share Option Scheme.

Purchase of a 49% shareholding interest in Chewathai from Trans Equatorial and transfer of loan receivable from Trans Equatorial
In FY2011, our Group purchased 979,993 shares, representing approximately 49% of the issued share capital of Chewathai from Trans Equatorial to streamline the property development business activities within our Group. The purchase of a 49% shareholding interest in Chewathai and the resulting transfer of loan receivable was conducted on an arms length basis, as the consideration was based on the net asset value of Chewathai.
Management fees (in connection with the workers dormitory) charged by PBT Engineering
Pursuant to a management service agreement dated 1 June 2009, PBT Engineering provided services in relation to the management of a workers dormitory (where Trans Equatorial was awarded the construction project of a workers dormitory by Marina Bay Sands) to our Group, based on a management fee of S$25,200 per annum. As a result of Trans Equatorial constructing the workers dormitory, our Group obtained the opportunity of managing the workers dormitory from Marina Bay Sands (which was subsequently outsourced to PBT Engineering). The management service agreement was terminated on 1 September 2011. As our Group had not obtained alternative fee quotes for the provision of such management services, the management fee paid was not on an arms length basis but was beneficial to our Group because the Company was then at its teething stage and it needed the project management expertise and services from PBT Engineering.
Business strategy and operational expertise services obtained from TEE International
During the Relevant Period, TEE International provided business strategy and operational expertise services to our Group. As we are unable to obtain market quotations from other external third parties due to the nature of such project management provided by TEE International, it cannot be determined whether such transactions were carried out on an arms length basis.

The Board of Directors TEE Land Limited 2024 Bukit Batok Street 23 #03-26 Singapore 659529
Dear Sirs Report on the Combined Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of TEE Land Limited (the company) and its subsidiaries (the group). The combined financial statements comprise the combined statements of financial position as at 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010, and the related combined statements of comprehensive income, combined statements of changes in equity and combined statements of cash flows of the group for the years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010 (the relevant periods), and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set out on pages A-3 to A-50. Managements Responsibility for the Combined Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation of the combined financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Financial Reporting Standards and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair profit and loss accounts and balance sheets and to maintain accountability of assets. Auditors Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation of the combined financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

TEE LAND LIMITED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010

TEE LAND LIMITED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) At the date of authorisation of these combined financial statements, the following new/revised FRSs, INT FRSs and amendments to FRS that are relevant to the group were issued but not effective: Amendments to FRS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements Amendments relating to Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income FRS 27 (Revised) Separate Financial Statements FRS 28 (Revised) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures FRS 110 Consolidated Financial Statements FRS 111 Joint Arrangements FRS 112 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities FRS 113 Fair Value Measurements Amendments to FRS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and FRS 107 Financial Instruments: Disclosure Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Annual Improvements to FRS 2012 Consequential amendments were also made to various standards as a result of these new/revised standards. Amendments to FRS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements Amendments relating to Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) The amendment on Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) presentation will require the group to present in separate groupings, OCI items that might be recycled i.e., reclassified to profit or loss (e.g., those arising from cash flow hedging, foreign currency translation) and those items that would not be recycled (e.g. revaluation gains on property, plant and equipment under the revaluation model). The tax effects recognised for the OCI items would also be captured in the respective grouping, although there is a choice to present OCI items before tax or net of tax. Changes arising from these amendments to FRS 1 will take effect from financial years beginning on or after 1 July 2012, with full retrospective application. FRS 110 Consolidated Financial Statements and FRS 27 Separate Financial Statements FRS 110 replaces the control assessment criteria and consolidation requirements currently in FRS 27 and INT FRS 12 Consolidation Special Purpose Entities. FRS 110 defines the principle of control and establishes control as the basis for determining which entities are consolidated in the consolidated financial statements. It also provides more extensive application guidance on assessing control based on voting rights or other contractual rights. Under FRS 110, control assessment will be based on whether an investor has (i) power over the investee; (ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the returns. FRS 27 remains as a standard applicable only to separate financial statements. FRS 110 will take effect from financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2014, with retrospective application, subject to transitional provisions.

TEE LAND LIMITED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) FRS 112 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities FRS 112 requires an entity to provide more extensive disclosures regarding the nature of and risks associated with its interest in subsidiaries, associates, joint arrangements and unconsolidated structured entities. FRS 112 will take effect from financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2014. FRS 113 Fair Value Measurement FRS 113 is a single new Standard that applies to both financial and non-financial items. It replaces the guidance on fair value measurement and related disclosures in other Standards, with the exception of measurement dealt with under FRS 102 Share-based Payment, FRS 17 Leases, net realisable value in FRS 2 Inventories and value-in-use in FRS 36 Impairment of Assets. FRS 113 provides a common fair value definition and hierarchy applicable to the fair value measurement of assets, liabilities, and an entitys own equity instruments within its scope, but does not change the requirements in other Standards regarding which items should be measured or disclosed at fair value. The disclosure requirements in FRS 113 are more extensive than those required in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only under FRS 107 Financial Instruments: Disclosures will be extended by FRS 113 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope. FRS 113 will be effective prospectively from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Comparative information is not required for periods before initial application. Amendments to FRS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and FRS 107 Financial Instruments: Disclosure Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities The amendments to FRS 32 clarify existing application issues relating to the offsetting requirements. Specifically, the amendments clarify the meaning of currently has a legal enforceable right of set-off and simultaneous realisation and settlement. The amendments to FRS 107 require entities to disclose information about rights of set-off and related arrangements (such as collateral posting requirements) for financial instruments under an enforceable master netting agreement or similar arrangement. The amendments to FRS 107 are required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The disclosures should be provided retrospectively for all comparative periods. However, the amendments to FRS 32 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, with retrospective application required.

TEE LAND LIMITED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) Basis of consolidation (i) Entities under common control The combined financial statements comprise the financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries as at the end of the relevant period. The financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation of the combined financial statements are prepared for the same reporting date as the company. Consistent accounting policies are applied to like transactions and events in similar circumstances. All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full. Business combinations involving entities under common control are accounted for by applying the pooling of interest method. The combined financial statements of the group for the financial years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010 are prepared by applying the pooling of interest method as the restructuring exercise as described in Note 1 is a legal reorganisation of entities under common control. Under this method, the company is treated as the holding company of the subsidiaries for the financial years presented rather than from the completion of the restructuring exercise. Accordingly, the results of the group for the years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010 include the results of the subsidiaries for the entire periods under review. Such manner of presentation reflects the economic substance of the companies, which were under common control throughout the relevant period, as a single economic enterprise, although the legal parent-subsidiary relationships were not established. In line with the objective of the restructuring exercise and to reflect the financial position and performance of the property development businesses of the group, the groups 49% owned associate, Chewathai is assumed to have been acquired from the date the entity had been under common control (i.e. the date that Chewathai was acquired by the ultimate holding company) despite the group acquiring the shareholding of and loan receivables from Chewathai, from Trans Equatorial Engineering Pte. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ultimate holding company, at a consideration of $3,730,774 and $5,035,330 respectively only on 1 March 2011. In line with the objective of the restructuring exercise to include only the property development businesses into the group, the groups 49% owned associate, Chewathai transferred its entire equity interests in GETCO, which is engaged in the wastewater treatment business in the following proportion: (a) 49% of such equity interests to TEE Resources Pte. Ltd. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ultimate holding company); and 51% of such equity interests to Chartchewa Co. Ltd. (existing 51% shareholder of Chewathai).

TEE LAND LIMITED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) In line with the objective of the restructuring exercise and to reflect the financial position and performance of the property development businesses of the group, the financial position and performance of GETCO has been excluded as it is not part of the property development businesses included in the group. Pursuant to this: Assets and liabilities are reflected at their existing carrying amounts; No amount is recognised for goodwill; Prior to the incorporation of the company and the issue of shares by the company in connection with the restructuring exercise, the aggregate paid-up capital of the subsidiaries held directly by the company is shown as the groups share capital for financial years under review; and Upon the completion of the restructuring exercise, any difference between the consideration paid by the company and the share capital of the subsidiaries is reflected within the equity of the group as merger reserve.
(ii)
Other acquisitions Apart from the above, subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the group loses control over a subsidiary, it: De-recognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost; De-recognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest; De-recognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity; Recognises the fair value of the consideration received; Recognises the fair value of any investment retained; Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and Re-classifies the groups share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profit or loss or accumulated profits, as appropriate.

TEE LAND LIMITED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the groups statement of financial position when the group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Effective interest method The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial instrument and of allocating interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial instrument, or where appropriate, a shorter period. Income or expense is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments. Financial assets Loans and receivables Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment. Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest method, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial. Impairment of financial assets Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each relevant period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. Objective evidence of impairment could include: significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation. For certain categories of financial asset, such as receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the groups past experience of collecting payments, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

TEE LAND LIMITED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. Derecognition of financial assets The group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received. Financial liabilities and equity instruments Classification as debt or equity Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the group are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. Equity instruments An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

TEE LAND LIMITED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) Other financial liabilities Trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. Interest-bearing bank loans are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in accordance with the groups accounting policy for borrowing costs (see below). Financial guarantee contract liabilities are measured initially at their fair values and, if not designated as at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), subsequently at the higher of the amount of obligation under the contract recognised as a provision in accordance with FRS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation in accordance with FRS 18 Revenue. Derecognition of financial liabilities The group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the groups obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. LEASES - Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. The group as lessor Rental income from operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which use benefit derived from the leased asset is diminished. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. The group as lessee Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

TEE LAND LIMITED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES - Development properties are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of property comprise specifically identified costs, including acquisition costs, development expenditure, borrowing costs and other related expenditure. Borrowing costs payable on loans funding a development property are also capitalised, on a specific identification basis, as part of the cost of the development property until the completion of development. Completed properties for sale but remained unsold at year end are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined by apportionment of the total land cost, development costs and borrowing costs capitalised attributable to unsold properties. Net realisable value takes into account the price ultimately expected to be realised, less costs to be incurred in marketing and selling, and the anticipated costs to completion, where appropriate. Development properties are classified as current when they are expected to be realised in, or are intended for sale in, the groups normal operating cycle. IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS - At the end of each relevant period, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cashgenerating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cashgenerating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

TEE LAND LIMITED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) ASSOCIATES - An associate is an entity over which the group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these combined financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for under FRS 105 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the groups share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of an associate in excess of the groups interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the groups net investment in the associate) are not recognised, unless the group has incurred legal or constructive obligation or made payments on behalf of the associate. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the groups share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of the investment. Any excess of the groups share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Where a group entity transacts with an associate of the group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the groups interest in the relevant associate. INTERESTS IN JOINT VENTURES - A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the group and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control, that is when the strategic financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activities require the unanimous consents of the parties sharing control. Where a group entity undertakes its activities under joint venture arrangements directly, the groups share of jointly controlled assets and any liabilities incurred jointly with other venturers are recognised in the combined financial statements of the relevant entity and classified according to their nature. Liabilities and expenses incurred directly in respect of interests in jointly controlled assets are accounted for on an accrual basis. Income from the sale or use of the groups share of the output of jointly controlled assets, and its share of joint venture expenses, are recognised by the group when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to/from the group and their amount can be measured reliably. Where the group transacts with its jointly controlled entities, unrealised profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the groups interest in the joint venture.

TEE LAND LIMITED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) PROVISIONS - Provisions are recognised when the group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the relevant period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Development properties Revenue from sales of development properties is recognised when risks and rewards of ownership of the real estate is transferred to the buyer, which may be: (a) (b) on a continuous transfer basis; or at a single point of time (e.g. at completion, upon or after delivery).
Under (a), revenue is recognised based on the percentage of completion method when the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership occurs as construction progresses. Under the percentage of completion method, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the development activity at the end of the relevant period based on survey of work completed at the end of each relevant period performed by independent qualified surveyors. Profits are recognised only in respect of properties with finalised sales agreements. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately. Under (b), where transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership coincides with the time when the property is completed or when the development units are delivered to the purchasers, revenue is recognised at that time. Revenue from sale of overseas development properties is recognised when the legal title passes to the buyer or when the equitable interest in the property vest in the buyer upon release of the handover notice of the respective property to the buyer, whichever earlier. Payments received from buyers prior to this stage are recorded as advances from customers from sale of properties and are classified as current liabilities.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) Rendering of services Service revenue, as represented by the contract value of the services to be rendered, is recognised upon the completion of the services rendered. Income from providing financial guarantee is recognised in profit or loss over the guarantee period on a straight line basis. Interest income Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable. Rental income The groups policy for recognition of revenue from operating leases is described above. BORROWING COSTS - Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. RETIREMENT BENEFIT COSTS - Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are charged as an expense when employees have rendered the services entitling them to the contributions. Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit schemes, such as the Singapore Central Provident Fund, are dealt with as payments to defined contribution plans where the groups obligations under the plans are equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution retirement benefit plan. EMPLOYEE LEAVE ENTITLEMENT - Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of the relevant period. INCOME TAX - Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are not taxable or tax deductible. The groups liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted in countries where the company and its subsidiaries operate by the end of the relevant period.

TEE LAND LIMITED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the combined financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures except where the group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences as they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each relevant period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the relevant period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the group expects, at the end of the relevant period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items credited or debited outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or directly to equity), in which case the tax is also recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively), or where they arise from the initial accounting for a business combination. In the case of a business combination, the tax effect is taken into account in calculating goodwill or determining the excess of the acquirers interest in the net fair value of the acquirees identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSLATION - The individual financial statements of each group entity are measured and presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). The combined financial statements of the group are presented in Singapore dollars, which is the functional currency of the company and the presentation currency of the combined financial statements.

TEE LAND LIMITED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entitys functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. At the end of each relevant period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the end of each relevant period. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on retranslation of monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. For such non-monetary items, any exchange component of that gain or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income. For the purpose of presenting combined financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the groups foreign operations (including comparatives) are expressed in Singapore dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the relevant period. Income and expense items (including comparatives) are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component in equity. On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the groups entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the accumulated exchange differences in respect of that operation attributable to the group are reclassified to profit or loss. Any exchange differences that have previously been attributed to non-controlling interests are derecognised, but they are not reclassified to profit or loss. In the case of a partial disposal (i.e. no loss of control) of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to noncontrolling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. of associates or jointly controlled entities that do not result in the group losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities (including monetary items that, in substance, form part of the net investment in foreign entities), and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity under the header of foreign currency translation reserve. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS IN THE STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS - Cash and cash equivalents in the statements of cash flows comprise cash on hand, cash at banks, fixed deposits and project accounts are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY In the application of the groups accounting policies, which are described in Note 2, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Financial risk management policies and objectives (contd) Foreign currency sensitivity
The following table details the sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the relevant foreign currencies against the functional currency of each group entity. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when relevant foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents managements assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes external loans where they gave rise to an impact on the groups profit or loss. If the relevant foreign currency weakens by 10% against the functional currency of each group entity, profit or loss will decrease by:
US Dollar impact 2011 2010 $000 $000 26 Thai Baht impact 2011 2010 $000 $000 588 504
If the relevant foreign currency strengthens by 10% against the functional currency of each group entity, the effect on profit or loss will be vice-versa. Interest rate risk management The group has exposure to interest rate risk through the impact of floating interest rate on borrowings. The group obtained financing through bank loans and the details of the groups interest rate exposure is disclosed in Note 17. No sensitivity analysis is performed because finance costs arising from the bank loans are capitalised as costs of development property. Credit risk management The groups principal financial assets are cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables and loans receivable from associates. The credit risk on cash and bank balances is limited as these balances are placed with or transacted with financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings. The groups credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables and loans receivable from associates. The amounts presented in the statement of financial position are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows. The maximum amount that the group could be forced to settle under the financial guarantee contract, if the full guaranteed amount is claimed by the counterparty to the guarantee is disclosed in Note 18.

SEGMENT INFORMATION The group is engaged in real estate development. The groups operations are pre-dominantly focused on Singapore and substantively the groups turnover and contribution to profit from operations are derived from the sales of properties. The groups property development works have similar characteristics and exhibit similar long-term financial performance. Accordingly, no analysis of results and financial information by business segment or geographical area of operations is available to the chief operating decision maker for the purpose of resource allocation and assessing performance. Therefore, the group comprises only one operating segment and all its significant operations are within the same geographical area. The group has a large number of customers and does not have any significant revenue arising from sales of development properties from any major contracts.

(ii)
The proforma adjustments do not have any material effect on the combined statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 May 2012 and for the six months period ended 30 November 2012. Accordingly unaudited Proforma Group combined statements of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 May 2012 and for the six months period ended 30 November 2012 have not been presented. The unaudited Proforma Group financial information, because of their nature, may not give a true picture of the Groups actual financial position and cash flows. The unaudited Proforma Group financial information is the responsibility of the management of the Company. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the unaudited Proforma Group financial information based on our work. We carried out procedures in accordance with Singapore Statement of Auditing Practice 2: Auditors and Public offering Documents.

(b) Acquisition of property development businesses from ultimate holding company As part of the restructuring exercise, the Company entered into the restructuring agreement dated 22 February 2013 with the ultimate holding company to acquire the property development businesses of the ultimate holding company. Accordingly, the Company acquired the entire issued and paid-up share capital in each of TEE Realty Pte. Ltd., TEE Property Pte. Ltd., TEE Development Pte. Ltd., Development 83 Pte. Ltd., TEE Homes Pte. Ltd. and Development 72 Pte. Ltd. (collectively, the sale companies) from the ultimate holding company at a purchase consideration of $15,968,999 (the purchase consideration) based on the audited net asset value of the sale companies as at 30 November 2012. Pursuant to the restructuring agreement, the Company acquired each of the sale companies as its subsidiaries and the assets and liabilities of each of these subsidiaries would form part of the Group. The purchase consideration was satisfied by way of the allotment and issuance of 15,968,999 shares credited as fully paid up to the ultimate holding company. In line with the objective of the restructuring exercise to consolidate only the property development businesses into the Group, the Groups 49% owned associate, Chewathai Limited (Chewathai) transferred its entire equity interests in Global Environment Technology Co., Ltd. (GETCO), which is engaged in the wastewater treatment business in the following proportion: (a) 49% of such equity interests to TEE Resources Pte. Ltd.

(b)
In line with the objective of the restructuring exercise and to reflect the financial position and performance of the property development businesses of the Group, the financial position and performance of GETCO has been excluded as it is not part of the property development businesses included in the Group.

Basis of preparation of the unaudited Proforma Group financial information (contd) The unaudited Proforma Group financial information has been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation in the preparation of the audited combined financial statements for the years ended 31 May 2012, 2011 and 2010 and the combined interim condensed financial statements for the six months period ended 30 November 2012. The unaudited Proforma Group financial information for the year ended 31 May 2012 and the six months period ended 30 November 2012 are prepared for illustrative purposes only. These are prepared based on certain assumptions and after making certain adjustments to show what: (i) the unaudited combined cash flows of the Group for the year ended 31 May 2012 and the six months period ended 30 November 2012 would have been if the Significant Events stated in Explanatory Note 1 of the unaudited Proforma Group financial information had occurred on 1 June 2011; and the unaudited combined statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 May 2012 and 30 November 2012 would have been if the foresaid Significant Events had occurred on 31 May 2012 and 30 November 2012 respectively.
(ii)
Based on the assumptions discussed above, the following material adjustments have been made to the audited combined financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2012 and the six months period ended 30 November 2012, in arriving at the unaudited Proforma Group financial information. (a) Acquisition of property development businesses from ultimate holding company Unaudited proforma combined statements of financial position Effect of the proforma adjustments subsequent to 31 May 2012 and 30 November 2012 and adjusted respectively as appropriate for the following:

The proforma adjustments do not have any material effect on the combined statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 May 2012 and for the six months period ended 30 November 2012. Accordingly unaudited Proforma Group combined statements of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 May 2012 and for the six months period ended 30 November 2012 have not been presented. The unaudited Proforma Group financial information, because of its nature, is not necessarily indicative of the results of the operations, cash flows and financial position that would have been attained had the Significant Events actually occurred earlier. Save as disclosed in the Explanatory Notes, the management, for the purpose of preparing this set of unaudited Proforma Group financial information, has not considered the effects of other events.

APPENDIX G TAXATION
The following is a discussion of certain tax matters arising under the current tax laws of Singapore and is not intended to be and does not constitute legal or tax advice. While this discussion is considered to be a correct interpretation of existing laws in force as at the date of this Prospectus, no assurance can be given that courts or fiscal authorities responsible for the administration of such laws will agree with this interpretation or that changes in such laws will not occur, changes which could be retrospective in effect. The discussion is limited to a summary of certain tax considerations in Singapore with respect to the subscription, purchase, ownership and disposal of our Shares by investors (either individuals or corporations), and does not purport to be a comprehensive nor exhaustive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to subscribe to, purchase, own or dispose of the Shares and does not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which (such as dealers in securities) may be subject to special rules. Prospective investors are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the overall tax consequences of subscription, purchase, ownership and disposal of our Shares. It is emphasised that neither our Company, our Directors nor any other persons involved in the Invitation accepts responsibility for any tax effects or liabilities resulting from the subscription, purchase, ownership and disposal of our Shares. Income Tax Individual income tax An individual taxpayer (both resident and non-resident for Singapore tax purposes) is subject to Singapore income tax on income accrued in or derived from Singapore, subject to certain exceptions. Foreign-sourced income received or deemed received by individual taxpayers, regardless of whether they are resident or non-resident of Singapore, are generally exempt from income tax in Singapore except for such income received through a partnership in Singapore. Currently, a Singapore tax resident individual is subject to tax at the progressive rates, ranging from 0% to 20%. A non-Singapore tax resident individual is normally taxed at the tax rate of 20% except for certain specified income that may be taxable at lower rates. An individual is regarded as a tax resident in Singapore if in the calendar year preceding the year of assessment, he was physically present in Singapore or exercised an employment in Singapore (other than as a director of a company) for 183 days or more, or if he ordinarily resides in Singapore. Corporate income tax A corporate taxpayer (both resident and non-resident for Singapore tax purposes) is subject to Singapore income tax on: income accrued in or derived from Singapore; and foreign sourced income received or deemed received in Singapore; unless otherwise exempted. Foreign sourced income in the form of branch profits, dividends and service fee income (specified foreign income) received or deemed received in Singapore by a Singapore tax resident corporate taxpayer are exempted from Singapore tax subject to meeting the qualifying conditions. A company is regarded as tax resident in Singapore if the control and management of the companys business is exercised in Singapore. The prevailing corporate tax rate in Singapore is 17% after allowing partial tax exemption on the first S$300,000 of a companys chargeable income.
- G-1 -
APPENDIX G TAXATION
Dividend Distributions Under the one-tier corporate tax system, the Singapore tax paid by a Singapore tax resident company is a final tax and the distributable profits of the company can be paid to shareholders as tax exempt (onetier) dividends. Such dividends are exempted from Singapore income tax in the hands of its shareholders. There is no withholding tax on such dividends when they are paid to Shareholders who are not Singapore tax residents. However, foreign Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors to take into account the tax laws of their respective countries of residence and the existence of any double taxation agreement which their country of residence may have with Singapore. Gains on Disposal of Our Shares Singapore currently does not impose tax on capital gains. However, there are no specific laws or regulations which deal with the characterization of capital gains. In general, gains or profits derived from the disposal of our Shares acquired for long-term investment purposes should be considered as capital gains and not subject to Singapore tax. On the other hand, where such gains or profits arise from activities which the Comptroller of Income Tax regards as the carrying on of a trade or business of dealing in shares in Singapore, gains or profits would ordinarily be taxed as income. Stamp Duty There is no stamp duty payable on the subscription of our Shares. Stamp duty is payable on the instrument of transfer of our Shares at the rate of S$0.20 for every S$100 or any part thereof, computed on the consideration paid or market value of our Shares registered in Singapore, whichever is higher. The purchaser is liable for stamp duty, unless there is an agreement to the contrary. No stamp duty is payable if no instrument of transfer is executed, or if the instrument of transfer is executed outside Singapore. However, stamp duty may be payable if the instrument of transfer which is executed outside Singapore is subsequently received in Singapore. The above stamp duty is not applicable to electronic transfers of our Shares through the CDP system. Goods and Services Tax (GST) The subscription of our Shares is exempt from GST. The sale of our Shares by a GST-registered investor belonging in Singapore for GST purposes to another person belonging in Singapore or via the Singapore Exchange is an exempt supply which is not subject to GST. Any input GST incurred by the GST-registered investor in making such an exempt supply is generally not recoverable from the Comptroller of GST. Where our Shares are sold by a GST-registered investor in the course of a business to a person belonging outside Singapore, and that person is outside Singapore when the sale is executed, the sale should generally, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, be considered a taxable supply subject to GST at zero-rate. Any input GST incurred by a GST-registered investor in the making of this supply in the course of or furtherance of a business carried on by him should be recoverable from the Comptroller of GST.
- G-2 -
APPENDIX G TAXATION
Services such as brokerage, handling and clearing services rendered by a GST-registered person to an investor belonging in Singapore in connection with the investors purchase, sale or holding of our Shares would generally be subject to GST at the current rate of 7%. Similar services rendered to an investor belonging outside Singapore would generally be subject to GST at zero-rate, provided that the investor is outside Singapore when the services are performed and the services provided do not benefit any Singapore persons. Estate duty With effect from 15 February 2008, Singapore estate duty has been abolished.

shall not exceed 15% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares) of the Company from time to time. 5.2 Shares which are the subject of Awards which have lapsed for any reason whatsoever may be the subject of further Awards granted by the Committee under the PSP. DATE OF GRANT The Committee may grant Awards at any time in the course of a financial year, provided that in the event that an announcement on any matter of an exceptional nature involving unpublished price sensitive information is imminent, Awards may only be Vested and hence any Shares comprised in such Awards may only be delivered on or after the second Market Day from the date on which the aforesaid announcement is made. 7. 7.1 GRANT OF AWARDS Subject to Rules 4 and 5, the selection of the Participants and number of Shares which are the subject of each Award to be granted to a Participant in accordance with the PSP shall be determined at the absolute discretion of the Committee, which shall take into account criteria such as, inter alia, the Participants rank, scope of responsibilities, job performance, years of service, and potential for future development and contribution to the success of the Group. In the case of a performance-related Award, the Performance Targets will be set by the Committee depending on each individual Participants job scope and responsibilities. The Performance Targets to be set shall take into account both the medium and long-term corporate objectives of the Group and the individual performance of the Participant and will be aimed at sustaining long-term growth. The corporate objectives shall cover market competitiveness, business growth and productivity growth. The Performance Targets could be based on criteria such as sales growth, growth in earnings and return on investment. In addition, the Participants length of service with the Group, achievement of past Performance Targets, value-add to the Groups performance and development and overall enhancement to Shareholder value, amongst others, will be taken into account. The Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, decide in relation to an Award: (a) (b) the Participant; the date on which the Award is to be granted;

(e) (f)

The Committee shall take into account various factors when determining the method to arrive at the exact number of Shares comprised in an Award. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the current price of the Shares, the total issued share capital of the Company and the predetermined dollar amount which the Committee decides that a Participant deserves for meeting his Performance Targets. For example, Shares may be awarded based on predetermined dollar amounts such that the quantum of Shares comprised in Awards is dependent on the closing price of Shares transacted on the Market Day the Award is vested. Alternatively, the Committee may decide absolute numbers of Shares to be awarded to Participants irrespective of the price of the Shares. The Committee shall monitor the grant of Awards carefully to ensure that the size of the PSP will comply with the relevant rules of the Listing Manual. An Award under the PSP represents the right of a Participant to receive fully paid Shares, their equivalent cash value or combination thereof, free of charge, upon the Participant: (a) (b) (c) achieving prescribed Performance Targets; and/or achieving service conditions or otherwise having performed well; and/or having made a significant contribution to the Group.

7.6
As soon as reasonably practicable after an Award is finalized by the Committee, the Committee shall send an Award letter to the Participant confirming the said Award. The said Award letter shall specify, inter alia, the following: (a) (b) (c) the date on which the Award is granted; the number of Shares which are the subject of the Award; in the case of a Performance-related Award; (i) (ii) (iii) the Performance Targets for the Participant; the period during which the Performance Targets shall be met; and the extent to which Shares which are the subject of that Award shall be released on the Performance Targets being satisfied (whether fully or partially) or exceeded or not being satisfied, as the case may be, at the end of the period during which the Performance Targets are to be met;
(d) (e)
the date by which the Award shall be Vested; and any other condition which the Committee may determine in relation to that Award.

For the purposes of Rule 8.1(a), a Participant shall be deemed to have ceased to be so employed as of the date the notice of termination of employment is tendered by or is given to him, unless such notice shall be withdrawn prior to its effective date. For the avoidance of doubt, no Award shall lapse pursuant to Rule 11.3(a) in the event of any transfer of employment of a Participant within the Group or upon the cessation of employment of a Group Executive Director who shall continue to serve as a Group Non-Executive Director. For the purpose of Rule 8.1(a) above, an Employee shall be deemed to have ceased to be in the employment of the Company or the Subsidiary or the Group Associated Company (as the case may be) on the date on which he gives notice of termination of employment, unless prior to the date on which termination takes effect, the Employee has (with the consent of the Company or the Subsidiary, or the Group Associated Company (as the case may be)) withdrawn such notice. For the purpose of Rule 8.1(b), a Participant shall be deemed to have ceased to be a Group NonExecutive Director as of the date the notice of resignation of or termination of directorship, as the case may be, is tendered by or is given to him, unless such notice shall be withdrawn prior to its effective date.
- H-7 -
the Committee may, in its absolute discretion, determine whether an Award held by such Participant, to the extent not yet released, shall lapse or that all or any part of such Award shall be preserved. If the Committee determines that an Award shall lapse, then such Award shall lapse without any claim whatsoever against the Company, its Directors or employees. If the Committee determines that all or any part of an Award shall be preserved, the Committee shall decide either to release some or all of the Shares which are the subject of the Award or to preserve all or part of any Award until the end of the relevant Performance Period (if any). In exercising its absolute discretion, the Committee will have regard to all circumstances on a case-by-case basis, including (but not limited to) the contributions made by that Participant and the extent to which the applicable Performance Targets and/or conditions has been satisfied. 9. 9.1 TAKE-OVER AND WINDING UP OF THE COMPANY Notwithstanding Rule 8 but subject to Rule 9.5, in the event of a take-over being made for the Shares, a Participant shall (notwithstanding that the Vesting Period for the Award has not expired) be entitled to the Shares under the Awards if he has met the Performance Targets which fall within the period commencing on the date on which such offer for a take-over of the Company is made or, if such offer is conditional, the date on which such offer becomes or is declared unconditional, as the case may be, and ending on the earlier of: (a) the expiry of 6 months thereafter, unless prior to the expiry of such 6-month period, at the recommendation of the offeror and with the approvals of the Committee and the SGX-ST, such expiry date is extended to a later date (in either case, being a date falling not later than the last date on which the Performance Targets are to be met); or the date of expiry of the period for which the Performance Targets are to be met,
(b)
provided that if during such period, the offeror becomes entitled or bound to exercise rights of compulsory acquisition under the provisions of the Companies Act and, being entitled to do so, gives notice to the Participants that it intends to exercise such rights on a specified date, the Participant shall be obliged to fulfill such Performance Targets until the expiry of such specified date or the expiry date of the Performance Targets relating thereto, whichever is earlier, before an Award can be Vested. 9.2 If under any applicable laws, the court sanctions a compromise or arrangement proposed for the purposes of, or in connection with, a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with another company or companies, each Participant who has fulfilled his Performance Target shall be entitled, notwithstanding the provisions herein and the fact that the Vesting Period for such Award has not expired but subject to Rule 9.5, to any Shares under the Awards so determined by the Committee to be released to him during the period commencing on the date upon which the compromise or arrangement is sanctioned by the court and ending either on the expiry of sixty (60) days thereafter or the date upon which the compromise or arrangement becomes effective, whichever is later.

10.1 As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each Performance Period, the Committee shall review the Performance Targets specified in respect of that Award and determine whether they have been satisfied and, if so, the extent to which they have been satisfied (whether fully or partially) and the number of Shares to be released. 10.2 The Committee shall have the discretion to determine whether Performance Targets have been met (whether fully or partially) or exceeded and/or whether the Participants performance and/or contribution to the Company and/or any Subsidiary and/or Group Associated Company justifies the Vesting of an Award. In making any such determination, the Committee shall have the right to make reference to the audited results of the Company or the Group, as the case may be, to take into account such factors as the Committee may determine to be relevant, such as changes in accounting methods, taxes and extraordinary events, and further, the right to amend the Performance Targets if the Committee decides that changed Performance Targets would be a fairer measure of performance. 10.3 Awards may only be Vested and consequently any Shares comprised in such Awards shall only be delivered upon the Committee being satisfied that the Participant has achieved the Performance Targets. 10.4 Subject to the prevailing legislation and the provisions of the Listing Manual, the Company will deliver Shares to Participants upon Vesting of their Awards by way of an issue of New Shares or the transfer of existing Shares held as treasury shares to the Participants. 10.5 In determining whether to issue New Shares or to purchase existing Shares for delivery to Participants upon the vesting of their Awards, the Company will take into account factors such as the number of Shares to be delivered, the prevailing Market Price of the Shares and the financial effect on the Company of either issuing New Shares or purchasing existing Shares. 10.6 The Committee will procure, upon approval of the Board, the allotment or transfer to each Participant of the number of Shares which are to be released to that Participant pursuant to an Award under Rule 7. Any proposed issue of New Shares will be subject to there being in force at the relevant time the requisite Shareholders approval under the Companies Act for the issue of Shares. Any allotment of New Shares pursuant to an Award will take into account the rounding of odd lots. 10.7 Where New Shares are to be allotted or any Shares are to be transferred to a Participant pursuant to the release of any Award, the Vesting Date will be a trading day falling as soon as practicable after the review of the Committee referred to in Rule 10.1. On the Vesting Date, the Committee will procure the allotment or transfer to each Participant of the number of Shares so determined.
- H-9 -
in each case, as designated by that Participant. Until such issue or transfer of such Shares has been effected, that Participant shall have no voting rights nor any entitlements to dividends or other distributions declared or recommended in respect of any Shares which are the subject of the Award granted to him. 10.10 New Shares allotted and issued, and existing Shares held in treasury procured by the Company for transfer, on the release of an Award, shall be subject to all the provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company and the Companies Act, and shall rank in full for all entitlements, including dividends or other distributions declared or recommended in respect of the then existing Shares, the Record Date for which is on or after the date of issue of the New Shares or the date of transfer of treasury shares pursuant to the vesting of the Award, and shall in all other respects rank pari passu with other existing Shares then in issue. 10.11 Shares which are allotted, and/or treasury shares which are transferred, on the Vesting of an Award to a Participant, may be subject to such moratorium as may be imposed by the Committee. 11. VARIATION OF CAPITAL
11.1 If a variation in the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (whether by way of a capitalization of profits or reserves or rights issue, capital reduction, subdivision, consolidation, distribution or otherwise) shall take place, then: (a) the class and/or number of Shares which are the subject of an Award to the extent not yet Vested; and/or the class and/or number of Shares over which future Awards may be granted under the PSP,
(b)
may be adjusted by the Committee to give each Participant the same proportion of the equity capital of the Company as that to which he was previously entitled and, in doing so, the Committee shall determine at its own discretion the manner in which such adjustment shall be made. 11.2 Unless the Committee considers an adjustment to be appropriate, the following events shall not normally be regarded as a circumstance requiring adjustment: (a) the issue of securities as consideration for an acquisition or a private placement of securities; the cancellation of issued Shares purchased or acquired by the Company by way of a market purchase of such Shares undertaken by the Company on Mainboard of the SGX-ST during the period when a share purchase mandate granted by Shareholders (including any renewal of such mandate) is in force; the issue of Shares or other securities convertible into or with rights to acquire or subscribe for Shares to its employees pursuant to a share option scheme or share plan approved by Shareholders in general meeting, including the PSP; and - H-10 -
(b)
(c)
11.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of Rule 11.1 above, no such adjustment shall be made: (a) (b) if as a result, the Participant receives a benefit that a Shareholder does not receive; unless the Committee, after considering all relevant circumstances, considers it equitable to do so; and except in relation to a capitalization issue, upon the written confirmation of the Auditors (acting only as experts and not as arbitrators), that in their opinion, such adjustment is fair and reasonable.
(c)
11.4 Upon any adjustment required to be made pursuant to this Rule 11, the Company shall notify the Participant (or his duly appointed personal representatives where applicable) in writing and deliver to him (or his duly appointed personal representatives where applicable), in the manner set out in Rule 13, a statement setting forth the class and/or number of Shares thereafter to be issued or transferred on the vesting of an Award. Any adjustment shall take effect upon such written notification being given. 12. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PSP
12.1 The PSP shall be administered by the Committee in its absolute discretion with such powers and duties as are conferred on it by the Board, provided that no member of the Committee shall participate in any deliberation or decision in respect of Awards granted or to be granted to him. 12.2 The Committee shall have the power, from time to time, to make and vary such rules (not being inconsistent with the PSP) for the implementation and administration of the PSP as they think fit including, but not limited to: (a) imposing restrictions on the number of Awards that may be Vested within each financial year; and amending Performance Targets if by so doing, it would be a fairer measure of performance for a Participant or for the PSP as a whole.
(b)
12.3 Neither the PSP nor the grant of Awards under the PSP shall impose on the Company or the Committee any liability whatsoever in connection with: (a) (b) the lapsing of any Awards pursuant to any provision of the PSP; the failure or refusal by the Committee to exercise, or the exercise by the Committee of, any discretion under the PSP; and/or any decision or determination of the Committee made pursuant to any provision of the PSP.
(c)
12.4 Any decision of the Committee made pursuant to any provision of the PSP (other than a matter to be certified by the Auditors) shall be final and binding (including any decisions pertaining to the number of Shares to be Vested) or to disputes as to the interpretation of the PSP or any rule, regulation, procedure thereunder or as to any rights under the PSP. 13. NOTICES
