Euro Asia holds in its land bank a 200,000 m2 site in the Julongjian Park, to be zoned into luxury town housing. The valuation carried out by DTZ in 2010 appraised the site at RMB 250 million (Euro 25.9 million) once zoning approval is received.

As of December 3rd, 2011, the Company had received zoning approval on half of this site, with further applications pending. Euro Asia plans to build 100 luxury town houses on the site at approximately 400 m2 GFA each. Preliminary designs are currently under way, and construction is slated to begin in August of 2011 and to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2012. With regards to the remaining 100,000 m2, construction permits are expected by October, 2011. Euro Asia plans to build a further 100 town houses on the additional site.

Appraisal value: RMB 138 million | Use: 5-star hotel exhibition hall and auxiliary building | Planned GFA: 32,023 m2| Land area: 135,459 m22| Designated operator: NIW Real Estate.

At this site on Cloud Lake, Euro Asia is currently constructing a 5-star hotel and exhibition centre. The planned GFA is 32,023 m2 and as of May 15th, 2011 the glass curtain wall installation has entered its final stages and is nearing completion, and interior improvements have commenced.

On December 3rd, 2010 the Company provided an update on developments, stating that NIW Real Estate, on behalf of Euro Asia, had completed initial negotiations with a Chinese multinational company concerning the formation of a joint venture regarding the Training and Exhibition Center. Under the discussions, NIW’s capital investment in the project will be transferred to the joint venture partner, in return for a fixed fee plus a to-be-negotiated percentage of gross and/or net income, along with the hotel’s management rights. In return, the partner will invest into the lease hold improvements of the hotel, estimated at RMB 120 million (Euro 12.6 million), and act as its operator. We estimate the management contract negotiation will be completed in May, 2011 and that contract is to commence in July, 2011.

Anticipated pre-tax profit: RMB 239 million | Use: residential building | Expected start of construction: September, 2011 | Expected date of completion: June 2013 | Land area: 20,000 m2 | Planned construction area: 103,000 m2 | Designated operator: NIW Real Estate

Adjacent to the Training and Exhibition Centre, on 103,437 m2 of land at the lakeside already owned by the Company, Euro Asia is planning the development of six apartment buildings with a total GFA of 103,000 m2.

Total construction costs are estimated at RMB 185 million (Euro 19M), which will be financed internally without debt.

The Company has also signed a preliminary pre-sales agreement with a third-party purchaser for two of the six buildings, for a total of RMB 141 million (Euro 15M). The purchaser has agreed to pay an initial deposit of 30% or RMB 42 million (Euro 4M) upon commencement of construction, a further 20% or RMB 28 million (Euro 3M) upon completion of the superstructure, and the balance of 50% or RMB 70 million (Euro 7M) when the title is passed upon completion.

Use: commercial exhibition centre and auxiliary building | Expected start of construction: March 2011 | Land area for construction: 493,332.8 m2 | Designated operator: NIW Real Estate

This land is designated for the development of a market for the sale of agricultural machinery and auxiliary equipment. Driven by a government-indicated need for a centralized venue for this type of activity, the Company had originally acquired just under 160,000 m2 for this development.

Based on market and government feedback, it has become clear that the area required is substantially larger than was initially thought. The original plan was to produce an agricultural centre catering to the middle-to-high end market, whereas the new plan calls for a medium-priced centre, catering to the complete range of machinery, equipment and agricultural supplies, both domestic and international. Further to the announcement of December 3rd 2010, new plans have been developed and are under way. Euro Asia has entered into discussions with the Fangzi government to acquire a site adjacent to the existing parcel of 333,333.5 m2, increasing the land area by approximately 2.5 times the area of the original site.

Site preparation at the China Agricultural Machinery Marketing Center continues, and a pre sale permit is expected to be received upon completion of phase I (outer structure), in June, 2011.

Euro Asia has already received preliminary letters of interest from four anchor tenants, and we expect this interest to translate into a purchase commitment in June, 2011. In regards to the additional 333,333.5 m2 of land adjacent to the site for phase II, Euro Asia expects negotiations to be completed and land permits received by September 30th, 2011 as opposed to March, 2011. This delay is due to continuing negotiation over the land price and plot ratio for phase two. Negotiations are in line with the original estimates for a purchase price of less than RMB 175 million (Euro 18.3 million).
