significant proportion of its outstanding debt, and help with continue negotiations with the other lenders to other
projects to allow some cash to be distributed to shareholders. This disposal has generated a cash surplus of approx.
US$30m (equivalent to 14c per share) after repaying the associated debt, and thereby closing the gap from NAV (now

to 46%, with the potential for cash distributions becoming much closer.

Property Portfolio Highlights



Malaysia

During the quarter under review, Aseana's sale of ongoing development units is progressing well. As at end of April 2012, sales of SENI Mont' Kiara had advanced to 79%, compared to 71% in January 2012 with sales and purchase agreements signed. The Company is also pleased to announce that all 129 retails lots for Sandakan Harbour Square Project (Phases 1 and 2) have been sold.



On 13 March 2012, Aseana received the formal Development Order approval for 200 units of luxury residences and a 263-room boutique hotel for KLCC Kia Peng Project.

Detailed project planning is now in its final stage with sales launch and construction targeted for Q4 2012.

Leasing activities to both local and international retailers are currently ongoing, with notable tenants such as Parkwell Departmental Store and Supermarket, Levi's, The Body Shop, Watsons, GNC, Tomei and Guardian amongst others.

Aseana Properties Limited (ASPL) – IMS and Interim dividend; NAV at 30/09/11 was $0.945/share (up slightly from $0.943/share last quarter 30/06/11).

n Group net asset value was $200.84m. Revenue of US$192.25 million and a profit before tax of US$19.78 million, compared to revenue of US$9.93 million and a loss before tax of US$15.17 million for the period ended 30 September 2010 mainly attributable to completion of SENI Mont' Kiara Phase 1. Cash and cash equivalents (net of overdrafts) of US$36.21 million at 30 September 2011 (30 June 2011: US$43.43 million), decreased mainly attributable to monies used for on-going projects

n Successfully completed 280 units in the final phase (Phase 2) of SENI Mont' Kiara luxury condominiums in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and obtained Certificate of Fitness in October 2011. The 135 units sold are currently being handed over to buyers.

n Signing of Management Agreement on 11 November 2011 between Aseana and Starwood Asia Pacific Hotels & Resorts Pte Ltd to appoint Starwood as the operator of the Kuala Lumpur Sentral Hotel under the 'Aloft' brand

n Aseana has successfully raised debt financing through a 10-year Guaranteed Medium Term Notes Programme of up to about US$162 million to be issued in Malaysia, the proceeds raised of which will be utilised to refinance the construction of the Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan hotel and the Harbour Mall Sandakan and to part finance the acquisition of the Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral hotel, all properties located in Malaysia.

n Aseana confirms the payment of an interim dividend for the six months ended 30 June 2011 of US$0.01 per ordinary share. The dividend will be paid on 15 December 2011 to Shareholders on the register at the close of business on 25 November 2011.

Liberum View:



n We do not envisage a high level of NAV growth in the near term as the Vietnamese assets remain early stage and NAV already reflects market prices for Malaysian asset sales. The shares are trading at a considerable 60% discount to 30/09/11 NAV. However we feel a key omission to the Aseana interims was any comment on discount control management and proactive programmes for narrowing the substantial discount.

Aseana Properties (ASPL / BUY) – Q1 NAV -1.32%. ASPL reports an unaudited NAV/share of $0.896 at 31st March 2011 or $190.4m, representing a 1.32% loss. ASPL reports their separate "realisable" NAV/share of $1.155 or $245.39 or a gain of 0.35% in the quarter. Loss before tax of $2.54m was attributable to income on the sale of completed properties in Tiffani by i-ZEN and Sandakan Harbour Square (Phase 2) against marketing expenses of ongoing projects of US$1.48 million, of which revenue has not been recognised during the period. The market value of all projects in their respective local currency remained unchanged as at 31 December 2010. Liberum View: There was little change in valuation during the quarter with the uplift on realisable NAV coming from currency effects while there were some added expenses from marketing slightly offsetting an increase in income. While we do not expect significant NAV growth in the near term, we continue to believe the discount of 55.4% to realisable NAV and 43% to NAV (realisable NAV based on market values of property portfolio vs. cost in NAV) is too wide. Recent transactions in 1 Mont' Kiara have underpinned this valuation while cash of $37.85m is on the balance sheet (15% of RNAV and 34.5% of mkt cap). We believe a discount control policy may also be considered to help narrow this discount. We covered ASPL in more detail in our recent Emerging Markets Alternative View recommending as a BUY,

Aseana Properties Limited (ASPL / BUY) - Aseana and PRUPIM Singapore terminate cooperation and disposal in the Tan Thuan Dong residential development in Ho Chi Minh City. ASPL announces that it has mutually agreed with Prudential Property Investment Management (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. to terminate the conditional agreement to sell a 49% stake in its wholly-owned subsidiary ASPL PV Limited to the PRUPIM Vietnam Property Fund, which is managed by PRUPIM Singapore (a subsidiary of Prudential Plc), in respect of the Tan Thuan Dong residential development. Aseana previously announced the signing of the conditional agreement with the PRUPIM Vietnam Property Fund on 24/8/2010. PRUPIM Vietnam Property Fund's decision to terminate the agreement occurred following unforeseen delays in fulfilling the conditions of the agreement including a transfer of the land use rights certificate for the development land, and the authorities' approval for an investment license, to the joint venture company. These conditions are now expected to be fulfilled in Q3 2011. The delays are expected to have a minimal impact on the expected returns of the Development, because the Development is not expected to launch its sales program until late 2011. ASPL PV Limited is a SPV owning 80% of the Development in a joint venture with Nam Long Investment Corporation. Aseana's conditional initial investment in the joint venture is $9.6m. Management are disappointed that their maiden partnership with PRUPIM Vietnam Property Fund did not materialise and this termination is mutual and amicable. The delays that the Development is facing are administrative in nature. Management believes Development's timetable is back on a firm footing of expected commencement of construction towards the end of this year. Liberum View: It is disappointing that the sale of 39% interest in Tan Thuan Dong development to PRUPIM Vietnam did not materialise. This residential development in Ho Chi Minh City has experienced challenging situation with delays in transfer of the land use right and authorities' approval. Full approvals for the project are now expected towards Q3 2011. Despite the prolonged process, ASPL continues to be committed to this development as the initial cost of the land acquisition is deemed attractive to generate targeted return. Other projects in Vietman continue to progress according to schedule with the start of construction in May 2010 in the first phase of International Hi-tech Healthcare Park. ASPL trades at 42% discount to NAV.

Aseana Properties Limited (ASPL / BUY) - Second residential project in partnership with Nam Long. ASPL announces that it has entered into a conditional agreement with Nam Long Investment Corporation to develop a residential project in Ho Chi Minh City. A 55:45 joint venture between ASPL and Nam Long will be formed, and ASPL will own a 55% stake in the JV through an equity investment of $7.92m. Nam Long is a leading private property developer based in Ho Chi Minh City Aseana owns a strategic minority stake of 16.4% in

Nam Long, acquired in July 2008. This will be ASPL's second project with Nam Long since our initial investment in 2008. Located within a prime suburban residential area, the development will consist of 37 villas and c. 460 apartment units in a 15- storey tower block. The project is expected to have a Gross Development Value of c.$100m. Preliminary site preparation work has commenced and construction is expected to begin in Q4 2011. Liberum View: ASPL is harvesting the earlier investments in Malaysia and deploying realisation proceeds into development projects in Vietnam. As of 31/12/2010, the Company has a cash balance of $150.4m (2009: $62m) due to receipt of the proceeds from 1 Mont' Kiara asset sales. ASPL has been trading at an average discount of 54% in the last 12 months and the current level of 43% is still too wide. ASPL has a significant exposure in Malaysia (more than 50% of its portfolio value) which is a relatively matured market in South-east Asia with a currently stable real estate market and strong currency. Compared with its peers such as VNL which trades at 33% discount, ASPL's wide discount is unwarranted and this deserves the board's attention.
