3 RM45,500, which was carried out by a professional valuer firm, Messrs. CH Williams & Talhar based on their valuation dated 14 February Payment of Purchase Consideration 1. Prior to the execution of the SPA, PRSB has paid to the Vendor's Solicitors as stakeholders the sum of Ringgit Malaysia Nine Hundred and Eight Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty Three (RM908,383.00) only being the earnest deposit of two per centum (2%) of Purchase Consideration and towards part payment of the Purchase Consideration. 2. Upon the execution of the SPA, PRSB shall pay to the Vendor's Solicitors as stakeholders the sum of Ringgit Malaysia Five Million Nine Hundred and Four Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Two and Sen Five (RM5,904,492.05) only, being the balance deposit of thirteen per centum (13%) of the Purchase Consideration. 3. PRSB shall pay the balance of the Purchase Consideration of eighty five per centum (85%) of the Purchase Consideration amounting to the sum of Ringgit Malaysia Thirty Eight Million Six Hundred and Six Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety One and Sen Ninety Five (RM38,606,291.95) only to the Vendor's Solicitors as stakeholders within three (3) months from the date when the SPA becomes unconditional. 5.4 Source of Funding The Proposed Acquisition is to be funded by a combination of internally generated funds and external borrowings. Based on preliminary discussions, the indicative funding from internally generated funds is 15% while indicative funding from bank borrowings is 85%. 5.5 Liabilities to be Assumed Save for the bank borrowings to be procured for the partial payment of the Purchase Consideration in relation to the Proposed Acquisition, there are no liabilities, including contingent liabilities and guarantees, to be assumed by OSKP Group arising from the Proposed Acquisition. 5.6 Estimated Time Frame for Completion The Proposed Acquisition is subject to obtaining the consent of the State Authority to transfer the Land in favour of PRSB and is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of Information on the Land and its Proposed Development Based on preliminary plans and subject to approval from the relevant authorities, OSKP proposes to undertake industrial development comprising 32 units of semi-detached industrial factories on the Land. The proposed development is expected to have an estimated gross development value of approximately RM127 million.

4 The Board is unable to procure the net book value of the Land in the financial statements of the Vendor as the Company is not privy to such information. 5.8 Rationale for the Proposed Acquisition The Proposed Acquisition will enable OSKP to diversify its development portfolio to include Small Medium Industrial factories and to expand its geographical coverage to Shah Alam. The Land is situated in an established industrial area occupied predominantly by large warehouses and factories such as Tiong Nam Logistics, Panasonic Factories and Frase & Neave to name a few. The management of OSKP is of the view that there is demand for supplementary services and smaller semi-detached factories which will be priced more affordably at between RM2.0 to RM3.0 million per unit. The Land is also strategically located in close proximity to the Kesas Highway and easily accessible via a comprehensive network of expressways such as the Elite Highway, North Klang Valley Expressway and Kemuning-Shah Alam Highway, making the Land an ideal location for industrial activities. The Proposed Acquisition is both timely and essential as part of the Group s plans to increase its land bank while complementing its strategy to supplement its existing range of developments by offering a wider choice of products. Subject to the necessary development approvals being obtained, the Group targets to launch the development on the Land by the fourth quarter of PROSPECTS TO OSKP GROUP ARISING FROM THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION Whilst the global economic environment remains challenging and fragile with the ongoing unresolved Euro zone debt crisis and prevailing weaknesses in the US economy, the outlook for the Malaysian economy continues to be positive given its strong economic fundamentals coupled with the Government s effective demand management policies. The Malaysian economy is forecasted to grow in 2012 within the range of 5.0% to 5.5% mainly driven by strong domestic demand, private investment activities and healthy employment levels, supported by a higher export of commodities and resourcebased products. The implementation of the Economic Transformation Programme ( ETP ) and the New Economic Model of the 10th Malaysian Plan are expected to further reinforce growth of the domestic economy. With the Entry Point Project under the ETP which will focus on new Mass Rapid Transit ( MRT ) lines and MRT stations, rapid speed transportation linking key growth areas of Malaysia is expected to propel demand for properties in locations currently deemed less desirable or accessible. Further, with a more convenient mode of transportation, property prices in those areas are expected to be relatively stable.

5 However, there are risks that growth may be subdued given the uncertain European financial environment where the property sector sentiment could be dampened as fluctuations in raw material costs and rising commodity prices due to removal of government subsidies in Malaysia are expected to impact disposable incomes. Nevertheless, the Group s resources are being reorganised to meet the changing competitive landscape and will continue to pursue innovative sales and marketing initiatives, ensure effective cost control and management of operations in order to sustain and build on current performances in the new financial year. Demand for industrial land in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor has been on an increasing trend since The number of industrial property transactions in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor had grown from 2,929 in year 2009 to 3,374 in year 2010 and to 2,121 in the first half of 2011 alone. (Source: Property Market Report ) In addition, while Shah Alam is an established industrial zone, the price level of industrial land and factories are comparable to that of other new industrial zones such as Belakong and Kajang, hence there is potential for further upside for industrial land and factories in Shah Alam. In view of the above, the management of OSKP is confident of the prospects of the Land and is optimistic that the development on the Land will contribute positively to the earnings of the Group in the near future. 7. RISK FACTORS The Board is not aware of any risk factors arising from the Proposed Acquisition which could materially or adversely affect the financial and operating conditions of the Group other than the normal market and global economic risks. 8. EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION 8.1 Share Capital and Substantial Shareholders Shareholding in OSKP The Proposed Acquisition will not have any effect on the issued and paid-up share capital and the substantial shareholders shareholding structure of OSKP as the Purchase Consideration is to be fully satisfied via cash and does not involve any issuance of new ordinary shares in OSKP. 8.2 Net Assets ( NA ), NA Per Share and Gearing The Proposed Acquisition will not have any material effect on the NA and NA per share of OSKP for the financial year ending 31 December As disclosed in Section 5.4 of this Announcement, the Purchase Consideration will be funded through internally generated funds and/or bank borrowings. Based on preliminary discussions, the indicative funding from internally generated funds is 15% while indicative funding from bank borrowings is 85%.

6 Based on the audited consolidated financial statements of OSKP Group as at 31 December 2011, the Group s gearing is 0.60 times. Purely for illustrative purposes, assuming 85% of the Purchase Consideration or RM38.6 million is financed through bank borrowings to be procured, the proforma gearing position of the Group is expected to increase to 0.72 times after the Proposed Acquisition. 8.3 Earnings and Earnings Per Share ( EPS ) The Proposed Acquisition is not expected to have any material impact on OSKP Group s earnings and EPS for the financial year ending 31 December However, the potential future profit contribution arising from the development of the Land is expected to enhance earnings and EPS of the Group in the near future. 9.
