Sufficient and strategically located landbank Total gross development land of approximately 3,093 acres

StrengthsStrengths

48

Sufficient and strategically located landbank (Cont.) Located in close proximity to Singapore, Johor Bahru, Pasir

Gudang and Senai Airport, the land banks currently under development are within the boundary of Iskandar Malaysia which will benefit from the Government’s proposed development expenditure of RM12.2 billion under the 9th

Malaysia Plan.

Due to the close proximity of NCIP to Tuas in Singapore, it is anticipated that there will be significant relocation of Singapore industrialists to NCIP to take advantage of the lower land cost , lower operating, utilities charges and capital expenditure. Such close proximity to Singapore will also facilitate the management of the operation by the Singapore industrialists after the relocation.

Strengths (Cont.)Strengths (Cont.)

49

Integrated operation The residential, commercial and industrial lots are competitively

priced since the construction is undertaken by in-house construction companies. Consequently there have been repeated sales through introduction of new buyers by existing customers.

Capable Management Top management has almost 30 years’ experience in property

and construction industry and is quick to identify and capitalize on opportunities and trends in the property market as well as identify commercially viable projects for diversification.

Competitive AdvantagesCompetitive Advantages

Iskandar Malaysia covers 2,217 square kilometers of land in South Johor and is the key engine of growth identified under the 9MP.

Iskandar Malaysia has attracted US$11.96 billion of investments in the last 24 months and has almost achieved its US$13 billion overall foreign direct investment target for the phase ending in 2010. As the government had provided adequate world class infrastructures to woo more foreign investors to invest in the area, we are optimistic of the success of Iskandar Malaysia.

There are large foreign direct investments into this region especially those from Singapore, in view of the spiraling property prices in Singapore and to take advantage of the various Iskandar Malaysia incentives.

53

Competitive Advantages (Cont.)Competitive Advantages (Cont.)

Malaysian property remains one of the cheapest in the region - The availability of contiguous and sizeable land in Malaysia

gives Malaysia a competitive cost advantage in terms of land prices.

Competitive utilities and manpower cost- The utilities and manpower cost of Malaysia is among the

cheapest in the region.

Proposed tax incentive (Budget 2009)- The employment income of a Malaysian and foreign

knowledge worker residing in Iskandar Malaysia is to be taxed at 15% indefinitely.

54

Competitive Advantages (Cont.)Competitive Advantages (Cont.)

Potential Appreciation of Land Value - Initiatives by Johor State Government/ Khazanah to attract international property developers, operators and investors to invest in the property in Iskandar Malaysia will lead to a big jump in property values, especially land with international development potential.

BUSINESS OUTLOOKBUSINESS OUTLOOK

57

Business OutlookBusiness Outlook

The first half of FY2010 was a relatively challenging period with uncertainty in the global economic environment and credit crunch problems.

However, for the second half of FY2010, the property market is making a strong comeback with renewed buying interest on expectation that the economic downtrend is bottoming out and relative stability of the job market.

The Group expects the industrial and commercial development operations to remain as the main

profit contributors for the Group in FY2010.

58

Business Outlook Business Outlook (Cont.)(Cont.)

The business outlook for Crescendo Group in the medium to long term is expected to be good for the following reasons:

Good rental market- The rental market for industrial properties is expected to be good as it can

cater for industrialists who are not prepared to enter into sales commitment due to the economic slow down.

Malaysian property remains one of the cheapest in the region

- The availability of contiguous and sizeable land in Malaysia gives Malaysia a competitive cost advantage in terms of land prices.- Attracting international property developers, operators and investors to

invest in the Malaysian property sector will lead to increase in property values, especially land with international development potential.

- The Malaysian real estate remains attractive in terms of price stability, value and potential appreciation.

Prime Location- Out of our total landbank of 3,093 acres, 1,773 acres of our converted landbank is

located within the prime Iskandar Malaysia area.

59

Business Outlook Business Outlook (Cont.)(Cont.)

Improvement in residential property market - Although the demand for residential property is currently slow due to oversupply,

we believe this scenario will change in a few years’ time. in view of the scheduled opening of the Integrated Resorts project in Singapore in 2010 as well as the

various developments within Iskandar Malaysia. These developments will create significant employment opportunities for the JB residents and inmigration

workers from other states. This large population of young employed will be ready to purchase their residential homes in the Iskandar Malaysia area where our projects are located.

The Government is currently further liberalising various sectors of the economy as measures to boost it in the face of the global recession. All property transactions including those between foreigners and non-bumiputeras will no longer require the Foreign Investment Committee’s approval.

STRATEGIESSTRATEGIES

StrategiesStrategies

For the residential and commercial operations, we have scaled down our launches this year and concentrate on selling our existing stock.

The Group’s focus now is on the development of industrial properties as the demand for residential property is

currently slow due to oversupply and economic slowdown.The demand for the commercial properties is good and the Group will continue to invest in this sector but in smaller phases so as to be conservative.

There will be more emphasis on residential and commercial sector in the medium term when we start to develop

Bandar Cemerlang and CLSB Land.

68

The Group will continue its strategy of selling substantially built and completed buildings as the Group has received strong demand from customers preferring to buy substantially built/completed buildings.

We also have pre-built factories for rent to industrialists. Given the lower cost environment, we are confident of significant demand for rental market at NCIP by foreigners who are currently operating in higher cost areas.

The Group will provide wider array of ready built property choices according to market demand Large detached factories and landed commercial properties to attract

purchasers from Singapore Smaller semi-detached factories for both the local and foreign

purchasers Affordable houses (<RM250,000) Quality & modern design shop offices at populated areas
