The EJV Contract also regulates the relationship of the parties as shareholders of the EJV Company as well as their rights and obligations. SCS will be the majority shareholder of the EJV Company.

4. RATIONALE

The overseas market provides new potential revenue source for SunCity Group. In its quest for overseas expansion, SunCity has determined China as one of its key countries for the expansion due to China's huge population and high economic growth.

SunCity aims to replicate its success in Malaysia to the overseas market by consolidating its years of experience and expertise in building quality residential and commercial properties.

Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City is a landmark bilateral project between China and Singapore with private-sector investment and development. The 30-square km Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City is envisioned to create a harmonious and sustainable community that meets the needs of an urbanising China and will be a modern township where 350,000 residents can live, work and play.

Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City sits well with SunCity's philosophy of building sustainable and environmental friendly city for the future generation.

5. FEASIBILITY STUDY

A feasibility study was conducted jointly by SunCity and SSTEC prior to the entering of the EJV Contract.

The preliminary feasibility study of the Proposed Development features mixed residential and commercial development complemented by integrated and high quality amenities. The Proposed Development will provide the EJV Company with an estimated gross development value of RMB8.6 billion (equivalent to approximately RM4.3 billion), whereby this value comprises the element of cost and profit. Market studies conducted by representatives from the valuers and marketing experts were carried out in China to assess the property market conditions.

Based on the results of the feasibility study, SunCity is of the view that the project is financially viable and attractive to proceed with the Proposed Development.

6. PROSPECTS

With strong economic growth and urbanisation, the property market in China remains strong with high growth potential. It is forecasted that the gross domestic product growth for 2010 is expected to be 9.6% (Source: World Economic Outlook Update, 8 July 2010 by International Monetary Fund).

Tianjin is one of China's major manufacturing hub and principal deep water port as well as the economic centre of the Bohai Sea region. In 2009, Tianjin's economy grew by 16.5% from the previous year making it the second fastest growing economy in China. Its gross domestic product exceeded RMB750 billion (USD110 billion) in 2009. It has a population of approximately 12.28 million with gross domestic product per capita of RMB62,403 (USD9,136) as at 2009. (Source: Tianjin Bureau of Statistics).

The China Government also plans to transform Tianjin to be the international financial hub of Northern China.

The improved standard of living allows for increased spending on housing. New household creation is further boosted by the projected decline in average household size, increasing urbanisation and changing demographic trends. With an average 20 million urban migration per annum, the growing demands for residential properties are expected to continue.

7. RISK FACTORS

The Proposed Development is subject to certain risks in the real estate industry in China. These include changes in government regulations, statutory regulations, general economic conditions and deterioration in prevailing market conditions such as, but not limited to inflation, taxation, foreign exchange, credit facility, interest rates, labour law, material supply and operating conditions.

The above risks will be managed by an experienced management team that has diversified international exposure.

8. SOURCE OF FUNDS

SCS will fund its investment in the EJV Company through internally generated funds and bank borrowings.

9. EFFECTS OF THE EJV CONTRACT

9.1 On Share Capital and Substantial Shareholders' Shareholding

The EJV Contract will not have any effect on the share capital and substantial shareholders' shareholding of SunCity as the EJV Contract does not involve any allotment or issuance of new shares by SunCity.

9.2 On Earnings Per Share, Net Assets Per Share and Gearing

The EJV Contract is not expected to have any immediate material effect on the earnings per share, net assets per share and gearing of SunCity for the current financial year ending 31 December 2010 but is expected to contribute positively to the future earnings of SunCity Group.

10. APPROVALS REQUIRED

The EJV Contract does not require approval from the shareholders of SunCity but is subject to approval of the relevant authorities in China.

11. DIRECTORS' AND MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS' INTERESTS

Insofar as the Directors are aware, none of the directors or major shareholders of SunCity or persons connected with them has any interest, whether direct or indirect, in the EJV Contract.

12. STATEMENT BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors of SunCity is of the opinion that the EJV Contract is in the best interests of SunCity Group.
