and entering into connected transactions

The Board of Directors’ meeting of Rasa Property Development Plc. (“the Company”) No. 3/2014, held on April 11, 2014, passed the following significant resolutions:

1. Entire Business Transfer and New Shares Allocation Transaction

The Company will implement a plan on business integration with (a) Santiburi Co., Ltd. (“STB”) by Khun Santi Bhirombhakdi (“Khun Santi”), and (b) S Bright Future Co., Ltd. (“SBF”) by Singha Property Management Co., Ltd. (“SPM”), by way of entire business transfer (“EBT”) (“Business Integration Plan”), details of which are as follows:

The EBT of STB and SBF will consist of all assets and liabilities of both companies, including, but not limited to, their rights, duties, obligations, commitments and liabilities owned or incurred by STB and SBF as of the transfer date, including all shares owned by SBF in: (a) Singha Property Development Co., Ltd. (“SPD”) of 99.99% of paid-up registered capital; (b) Bhiromphat Co., Ltd. (“BRP”) of 99.99% of paid-up registered capital; and (c) Max Future Co., Ltd. (“MAX”) of 99.99% of paid-up registered capital ("EBT Transaction"). The Board of Directors resolved that the Company is required to allocate its 4,162,352,331 newly issued ordinary shares with a par value of Baht 1 per share to: (a) Khun Santi at Baht 1.87 per share, totaling Baht 2,300,000,000; and (b) SPM at Baht 1.87 per share, totaling Baht 5,483,598,859, as payment in kind for the transfer of entire business of STB and SBF to the Company (collectively referred to as the "EBT and New Shares Allocation Transaction").

However, the EBT and New Shares Allocation Transaction is contingent upon the following conditions precedent, as specified in the share subscription agreement signed by the Company with Khun Santi and SPM:

a) Obtaining approval from the Board of Directors’ meeting and shareholders’ meeting of

the Company with respect to the capital increase, the allocation of the newly issued

ordinary shares of the Company, the business transfer acceptance plan, the

appointment of new directors to replace the resigning directors, etc.; and

b) Obtaining approval from the Stock Exchange of Thailand (“SET”) with respect to the

EBT Transaction, which is considered an acquisition of significant assets, Type 4, and

obtaining approval from the SET with respect to the relisting application to approve the

listing of ordinary shares of the Company as listed securities on the Exchange.

It is initially expected by the Company that the EBT of STB and SBF to the Company will be completed by December 31, 2014 and the Company will allocate its newly issued shares to Khun Santi and SPM after its relisting application is duly approved.

The entering into the EBT Transaction is considered as the purchase or acceptance of the transfer of the business from other companies by the Company under Section 107(2)(b) of the Public Limited Companies Act, B.E. 2535. Therefore, the Company is required to hold a meeting of shareholders to consider and approve the acceptance of the transfer of business. In this respect, the resolution of the meeting of shareholders to approve the acceptance of the transfer of business requires an affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the total number of votes of the shareholders attending and eligible to vote at the meeting, excluding the vote of the shareholder having an interest in the matter.

From calculation of the transaction size under the Notification of the Capital Market Supervisory Board No. Tor. Jor. 20/2551 Re: Rules on Entering into Material Transactions Deemed as Acquisition or Disposal of Assets and Notification of the SET Board of Governors Re: Disclosure of Information and Other Acts of Listed Companies Concerning the Acquisition or Disposition of Assets B.E. 2547, the size of the EBT Transaction equals 756.79%, as calculated based on capital shares. Therefore, the transaction is considered an acquisition of assets, Type 4, or backdoor listing. The Company is accordingly required to disclose the information regarding the entering into such transaction to the SET, to appoint an independent financial advisor, and to apply for the approval from the SET by submitting a relisting application to list ordinary shares of the Company as listed securities on the SET in accordance with the Rules of the SET concerning listing of ordinary shares or preferred shares as listed securities. The Company is also obligated to convene a meeting of shareholders to approve the transaction, with a required affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the total number of vote of the shareholders attending and eligible to vote at the meeting, excluding shareholders with interest in the matter.

Moreover, as Khun Santi and SPM will be nominated as the management or persons having controlling power over the Company under the conditions for entering into the EBT Transaction as specified above, the entry into the EBT Transaction with Khun Santi and SPM is considered a connected transaction under the Connected Transaction Notifications. From calculation of the

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 3

transaction size under the Connected Transaction Notifications, the size of the transaction equals 1,079.07% of the Company's net asset value, which is higher than 3% of the Company's net asset value. Therefore, the Company is required to disclose the information regarding the transaction to the SET, to appoint an independent financial advisor, and to hold a meeting of shareholders to approve the transaction. The resolution of the meeting of shareholders to approve the entering into the EBT Transaction under the Business Integration Plan requires an affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the total number of votes of the shareholders attending and eligible to vote at the meeting, excluding shareholders with interest in the matter.

2. Land Sale Transaction

The Company will sell two parcels of land, consisting of (a) vacant land of 33-2-81.4 rai in Don Mueang area at Baht 198,000,000 and (b) vacant land of 143-3-10 rai in Lam Luk Ka area at Baht 175,000,000, to Khun Rapi Pinitchob (“Khun Rapi”), who is a major shareholder and management of the Company, or any individual or juristic person designated by Khun Rapi (“Land Sale Transaction”) at a total value of Baht 373,000,000.

Entering into such transaction is considered a connected transaction under the Connected Transaction Notifications. From calculation of the transaction size under the Connected Transaction Notifications, the size of the transaction equals 52.48% of the Company's net asset value, which is higher than 3% of the Company's net asset value. Therefore, the Company is required to disclose the information regarding this transaction to the SET, to appoint an independent financial advisor, and to hold a meeting of shareholders to approve the transaction. The resolution of the meeting of shareholders to approve the Land Sale Transaction requires an affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the total number of votes of the shareholders attending and eligible to vote at the meeting, excluding shareholders with interest in the matter.

The size of such Land Sale Transaction, when calculated based on value of the consideration paid, equals 30.85%. Therefore, the transaction is considered a disposal of assets, Type 2. The Company is accordingly required to disclose the information regarding the entering into such transaction to the SET and to submit the information memorandum on the transaction to the shareholders of the Company within 21 days from the date of disclosure to the SET.

Moreover, the Board of Directors’ meeting passed a resolution approving execution of the land sale and purchase agreement with conditions precedent between the Company and Khun Rapi, and other agreements relating to the entry into such transaction.

3. Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction (in order to acquire 30% ownership of

land leased for commercial purpose in The Light House Project which will lead the Company to become sole owner of the leased land)

The Company entered into the Management Agreement with Siam Prime Estate Co., Ltd. (“Siam Prime”) dated November 26, 2007, which resulted in 70% of the ownership of land leased for

Page 6: Rasa Property Development Public Company Limited · Rasa Property Development Plc. Subject Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 4

commercial purpose in The Light House Project belonging to the Company and 30% belonging to Siam Prime. The land leased for commercial purpose in this project covers a total area of 5,861.45 square meters. The Company has an intention to terminate the said Management Agreement in order to acquire 30% ownership of the land leased for commercial purpose in such project (“Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction”). In this respect, the Company will pay Baht 51 million to Siam Prime as a consideration for such agreement termination.

The entering into such transaction is considered a connected transaction as Siam Prime’s major shareholders (Khun Kanukros Pongsatad and Khun Thanapat Suwansarang with combined shareholding of 44%) are close relatives (daughter and her spouse) of the executive of the Company (Assoc. Prof. Manob Pongsatad). From the transaction size calculation, the size of the transaction equals 7.07% of the Company's net asset value, which is higher than 3% of the Company's net asset value. Therefore, the Company is required to disclose the information regarding the transaction to the SET, to appoint an independent financial advisor, and to hold a meeting of shareholders to approve the transaction. The resolution of the meeting of shareholders to approve the Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction requires an affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the total number of votes of the shareholders attending and eligible to vote at the meeting, excluding shareholders with interest in the matter.

The size of such Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction, when calculated based on value of the consideration paid, equals 4.16%. Therefore, the transaction is considered an acquisition of assets, with transaction size lower than 15% of total assets of the Company.

However, Clause 21 of the SET’s Acquisition or Disposition Notification states that "for the purpose of comparing the volume of transactions, the SET may combine separate acquisitions occurring during the 12 months period prior to the date on which a listed company or any of its subsidiaries acquires assets as the same acquisition." In this case, if combining the transaction in Item 1 and the transaction in Item 3 above, the total size of the transactions equals 760.95%. Therefore, it is considered an acquisition of assets, Type 4, or backdoor listing. The Company is accordingly required to disclose the information regarding the entering into such transaction to the SET, to appoint an independent financial advisor, and to apply for the approval from the SET by submitting a relisting application to list ordinary shares of the Company as listed securities on the SET in accordance with the Rules of the Exchange concerning listing of ordinary shares or preferred shares as listed securities. A meeting of shareholders shall also be held to approve the transaction with a required affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the total number of votes of the shareholders attending and eligible to vote at the meeting, excluding shareholders with interest in the matter.

The notice of the shareholders’ meeting is required to be accompanied by opinion from an independent financial advisor regarding (1) reasonableness and benefits of the transaction to the listed company, (2) fairness of price and conditions for the transaction, and (3) recommendation as to whether the shareholders should vote for or against the transaction together with reasons thereof.

The entering into the EBT Transaction is considered as the purchase or acceptance of the transfer of the business from other companies by the Company under Section 107(2)(b) of the Public Limited Companies Act, B.E. 2535. It is also deemed as an acquisition of assets of listed companies under the Notification of the Capital Market Supervisory Board No. Tor. Jor. 20/2551 Re: Rules on Entering into Material Transactions Deemed as Acquisition or Disposal of Assets and Notification of the SET Board of Governors Re: Disclosure of Information and Other Acts of Listed Companies Concerning the Acquisition or Disposition of Assets B.E. 2547 (“Acquisition or Disposition Notifications”).

Moreover, after implementation of the Business Integration Plan, Khun Santi and SPM will nominate persons to serve as the management or persons having controlling power over the Company under the conditions for entering into the EBT Transaction as specified above. Thus, the entry into the EBT Transaction with Khun Santi and SPM is considered a connected transaction under the Notification of the Capital Market Supervisory Board No. Tor.

Therefore, the transaction is considered a disposal of assets, Type 2, under the Acquisition or Disposition Notifications. The Company is accordingly required to disclose the information regarding the entering into such transaction to the SET and to submit the information memorandum on the transaction to the shareholders of the Company within 21 days from the date of disclosure to the SET.

3. Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction (in order to acquire 30% ownership of land leased for commercial purpose in The Light House Project which will lead the Company to become sole owner of the leased land) (“Transaction 3”)

The Company will terminate the Management Agreement made with Siam Prime Estate Co., Ltd. (“Siam Prime”) dated November 26, 2007 (“Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction”). In this respect, the Company will have to pay Baht 51,000,000 to Siam Prime as a consideration for such agreement termination.

The entering into such transaction is considered a connected transaction under the Connected Transaction Notifications as Siam Prime’s major shareholders (Khun Kanukros Pongsatad and Khun Thanapat Suwansarang with combined shareholding of 44%) are close relatives (daughter and her spouse) of the executive of the Company (Assoc. Prof. Manob Pongsatad). From the transaction size calculation, the size of the transaction equals 7.07% of the Company's net asset value, which is higher than 3% of the Company's net asset value. The size of such Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction, when calculated based on value of the consideration paid, equals 4.16%. Therefore, the transaction is considered an acquisition of assets with transaction size lower than 15% of total assets of the Company.

If combining Transaction 1 and Transaction 3 above, the total size of the transactions equals 760.95%. Therefore, it is considered an acquisition of assets Type 4, or backdoor listing, under the Acquisition or Disposition Notifications. The Company is accordingly required to disclose the information regarding the entering into such transactions to the SET, to appoint an independent financial advisor, and to apply for the approval from the SET by submitting a relisting application to list ordinary shares of the Company as listed securities on the SET in accordance with the Rules of the Exchange concerning listing of ordinary shares or preferred shares as listed securities. A meeting of shareholders shall also be held to approve the transactions. Since the three transactions are considered an assets acquisition and disposal transaction and connected transaction, the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting to approve the entering into these transactions requires an affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the total number of votes of the shareholders attending and eligible to vote at the meeting, excluding shareholders with interest in the matter. The Company will hold the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on June 9, 2014 to consider and approve such transactions.

After completion of all transactions, Khun Santi will be allocated the newly issued ordinary shares and become a major shareholder of the Company. To avoid a conflict of interest, Khun Santi and SPD including persons with control power in Boon Rawd Brewery Co., Ltd., will enter into an agreement with the Company after the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, scheduled for June 9, 2014, approves the EBT and New Shares Allocation Transaction. The said agreement will include key conditions as follows: 1) As long as Khun Santi, his spouse, his minor, his person according to section 258, and his attorney-in-fact (“related persons”) who is the major shareholder and/or director of the company giving the right, and the company giving the right (person giving right consisted of Khun Santi, related persons and company as prescribed in a. and c. (Please see details on page 29 - 32)), still are the major shareholder or controlling person of the Company (according to the definition of SEC). Khun Santi and related persons whether by themselves or joint venture with other entity will not conduct the hotel or real estate business which may compete with the company; however, except for the Khun Santi or related person’s assets which do not have opportunity to develop for the significant return in the future (“significant” is defined as assets or project which have value equal or more than 3 percent of the Company’s net tangible assets) or assets which is not related to hotel or real estate business currently operate and is not significant or residual assets from completed project; and 2) Khun Santi and his related persons will enter into an agreement with the Company after the approval from extraordinary general meeting of the shareholder to enter into the transaction, specifying therein that for the 3 years period after the entire business transfer and as long as Khun Santi and related person still are the major shareholder or controlling person of the Company, Khun Santi and related person will not transfer, sell their ordinary shares, land or building under the company possession as prescribed in a. and c. (Please see the detail on page no. 29 - 32) and agree to grant an exclusive option to the Company and/or subsidiaries of the Company tor buy such ordinary shares, land or building at the price that shalll not exceed the fair value appraised by two independent appraisals(from the approved list of the SEC)appointed by Company and Khun Santi or related persons. After the 3 years period from the entire business transfer and as long as Khun Santi and related person still be the major shareholder of the company or person who can control Company, if Khun Santi have an intention to sell ordinary shares, land or building under his possession to other persons, Khun Santi agree to grant the right of first refusal to Company or subsidiary of Company with the same price offered to the other persons. In case that Company and /or subsidiary of Company reject to exercise such right, Khun Santi will have right to sell to other persons at the price not lower than the price offer to the Company; however, except for the assets that has insignificant value or residual from completed project. In the case where the Company agrees to exercise such right, the Company will comply with the laws and regulations in relation to the connected transaction.

In order to prevent conflict of interest with Boon Rawd Group and affiliates, including authorized directors of SPM, thus, as long as Boonrawd group, SPM, Mr.Chayanin Thephakham, Mr. Jutinunt BhiromBhakdi and Mr.Santi BhiromBhakdi (authorized director of SPM) including their spouse, minor, person according to section 258, and attorney-in-fact (“related persons”) (all of them defined as “promisors”), who is major shareholder and/or director of promisors, still be the major shareholder or governor of Boonrawd group, SPM or authorized director of SPM will not conduct whether by themselves or join venture with other entity the hotel or real estate business which may compete with the company; however, except for the assets which

Page 9

not have opportunity to develop for the significant return in the future or assets which is not related to hotel or real estate business currently operate and is not significant or residual assets from completed project. In addition, if there are land or real estate that may consider competing with the Company and it subsidiariy, Boonrod group, SPM, authorized directors of SPM including their related persons shall consider to sell such assets at the transaction price will not exceed the fair value appraised by two independent appraisals(from the approved list of the SEC) appointed by the Company and Khun Santi or Boonrawd Group, SPM, Mr.Chayanin, and Mr. Jutinunt including their spouse, minor, person according to section 258 and their attorney-in-fact(as the case may be); however, except for the promisors’ assets which not have opportunity to develop for the significant return in the future or assets which is not related to hotel or real estate business currently operate but is not significant or residual assets from completed project. In the case where the Company agrees to exercise such right, the Company will comply with the laws and regulations in relation to the connected transaction.

After such process is completed and the conditions precedent for the share subscription and the tender offer are fulfilled, Khun Santi and SPM will become major shareholders of the Company owning 26.10% and 62.23% of the Company’s paid-up registered capital respectively. Each of them will therefore be obligated to make a mandatory tender offer (“MTO") to purchase all shares of the Company. The MTO price will be Baht 1.87 per share. The MTO is expected to be made when Khun Santi and SPM are duly and completely allocated the new ordinary shares of the Company and the Company completely registers the paid-up capital in respect of the shares allocated to Khun Santi and SPM. The MTO by Khun Santi and SPM is not considered as Acting in Concert.

The IFA is of the opinion that the entering into Transaction 1, the EBT Transaction, is reasonable. The Company’s existing business, focusing mainly on residential property development, is currently faced with tougher competition and the Company therefore plans to diversify into hotel business and property renting business and has a policy to invest in promising projects with a reasonable rate of return and acceptable risk exposure. This will be compatible with the new management team’s considerable experience and expertise in real estate business and will allow the Company to engage in a more diverse line of business while reducing risk involved with its existing business.

As for the entering into Transaction 2, the sale of two plots of vacant land in Lam Luk Ka and Don Mueang areas, IFA also considers it a reasonable transaction since the new shareholders have no intention to use the two plots of vacant land as their locations do not match their target groups. Besides, the vacant land in Don Mueang is situated in the landing/take-off direction of Don Mueang Airport, which could be a constraint on future development.

As regards Transaction 3, the Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction in order to acquire 30% ownership of land leased for commercial purpose in The Light House Project which will lead the Company to become sole owner of the leased land, IFA deems this transaction reasonable because it will enable the Company to be the sole owner of the leased land for commercial purpose in The Light House Project. This will be in line with the new shareholders’ desire to have controlling power and full ownership of the land leased for commercial purpose in The Light House Project in order to increase flexibility and

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 10

efficiency in the operation and also respond to the new shareholders’ policy to expand the property rental business.

The advantages of entering into Transaction 1, the EBT Transaction, are that it will enable the Company to immediately recognize income and profit from the hotel business. The acquired property is ‘Santiburi Beach Resorts, Golf & Spa,’ which is a five-star hotel located on Samui Island and has been in operation for more than 20 years. Its average occupancy rate in 2011-2013 stood at 72.8%, 82.1% and 79.1% respectively. The hotel has had a strong financial status and has been operating profitably. By entering into this transaction, the Company itself will have a larger scale of business in terms of both assets and registered capital and will acquire good assets in prime locations. After completion of the Business Integration Plan implementation, the Company will become the owner of not only Santiburi Beach Resorts, Golf & Spa, but also three pieces of vacant land by way of shareholding through three subsidiaries of SBF. All of the three plots of land are in strategic locations appropriate for further development of property projects that will generate reasonable benefit and return for the Company and its shareholders in the long term.

However, there are some disadvantages of entering into Transaction 1 such that the Company will have to issue a large amount of new ordinary shares as a consideration for the EBT Transaction, which will result in a tremendous control dilution effect on the existing shareholders, by plunging from 88.33% to 11.67% of paid-up registered capital (please see more details in Item 3.2.1.2 Disadvantages of entering into the transactions, page 82). It could also lead to an increase in the Company’s debt burden if in the future the Company has to invest in development of the three plots of vacant land of SBF’s subsidiaries, which will involve a huge investment, in order to conform with the Company’s objective of focusing on hotel and real estate business including property rental business. The Company’s plans to develop the three plots of land of SBF’s subsidiaries into property projects in the future include 1) land on New Phetchaburi Road to be developed into an office building with commercial area, covering a total space of 144,250 square meters with an estimated project value of Baht 6,000 million; 2) land in the middle part of Asok Montri Road to be developed into a serviced apartment and office building; and 3) land on Pradit Manutham Road to be developed into a high-end housing estate with an estimated project value of Baht 3,200 million (please see more details of future projects on page 80). Investments in these three projects will be capital-intensive and time-consuming. It could take 2-3 years before the Company will be able to recognize income from these projects. As such, at the early stage of project implementation, the Company will likely suffer from loss and be unable to pay dividend to its shareholders. If the Company has to embark on these projects in the future, it will borrow loans from financial institutions to finance such project investments. After a successful implementation of the Business Integration Plan through entire business transfer from STB and SBF, the Company’s debt to equity ratio will drop from 0.67 to 0.13 time and, hence, it will have the ability to incur new debts to fund large-scale investments. However, a success in property development typically hinges on factors such as economic situation, real estate market condition and consumers’ purchasing power. If these factors are unfavorable, they could have an adverse impact on the Company’s future operation.

The advantages of entering into Transaction 2 are that it will enable the Company to receive funds from the land sale and to further use such funds for repaying debts and/or investing in future projects and/or

meeting the Company’s working capital needs. Meanwhile, the disadvantages of the entry into Transaction 2 are a decrease in vacant land available for property development and a loss from such land sale.

The advantage of entering into Transaction 3 is that it will result in the Company having control power and 100% ownership of the commercial area which will enable the Company to have more flexibility and efficiency in determining or changing a policy or plan on management of such commercial area. If the operation of the said area is profitable, the Company will be able to recognize 100% of such profit. Besides, the entry into Transaction 3 will respond to the new shareholders’ policy to expand the property rental business. On the negative side, the entering into this transaction will result in the Company having to pay Baht 51 million as a consideration for the Management Agreement termination. If the leased land for commercial purpose is operated at a loss, the Company may have to recognize 100% of such loss.

As regards fairness of prices of the three transactions, IFA is of the opinion that all such transactions are fair and appropriate.

IFA deems that Transaction 1, the EBT Transaction under which the Company will issue and allocate its new ordinary shares as payment in kind for the transfer of entire business of STB and SBF to the Company, is appropriate and fair. The offering price of 4,162,325,331 new shares of the Company at Baht 1.87 per share to Khun Santi and SPM is reasonable since it is higher than a fair value of the shares appraised by the IFA by the discounted cash flow approach at Baht 1.80 per share.

Transaction 2, the sale of land in Lam Luk Ka area at Baht 175 million and the land in Don Mueang area at Baht 198 million, or at a total selling price of Baht 373 million, to Khun Rapi, is deemed appropriate. This is because the selling price of the land in Lam Luk Ka area is higher than the appraisal price of such land as appraised by American Appraisal (Thailand) Ltd. (Independent Valuer) at Baht 169 million, and also higher than the book value of Baht 173.85 million by Baht 1.15 million. For the land in Don Mueang area, the IFA has appraised it in two scenarios. In case 1, where interest expenses are not incorporated into land cost, the selling price is higher than the appraisal price as appraised by the Independent Valuer at Baht 189 million, and also higher than the book value of Baht 197.25 million by Baht 0.75 million. In case 2, where interest expenses are incorporated into cost of both plots of land, the selling price is lower than the book value by Baht 5.50 million. Therefore, the sale of land in Don Mueang area in Case 1 combined with the sale of land in Lam Luk Ka area will bring in a profit of Baht 1.90 million for the Company, whereas the sale of land in Don Mueang area in Case 2 aggregated with the sale of land in Lam Luk Ka area will incur a loss of Baht 4.40 million. Nonetheless, the land in Don Mueang area has some weaknesses in that it is in the area which once was heavily flooded and also is in the landing/take-off direction of Don Mueang Airport. Therefore, IFA deems that to give a discount on such land at Baht 5.50 million or 2.73% off the book value is acceptable and appropriate. The said selling price is accordingly considered reasonable.

Transaction 3, the Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction under which the Company has to pay Baht 51 million as a consideration for such agreement termination to Siam Prime Estate Co., Ltd., is considered appropriate, although such payment of Baht 51 million is higher than a fair value appraised by the IFA at Baht 41.30 million by Baht 9.7 million. The commercial area in The Light House Project is situated in Sathon-Charoen Nakhon area which is a prime location of Charoen Nakhon community.

It has a strong growth potential, being widely recognized among local people. The area has been fully rented out, hence no risk from acquisition of new rentees. As some of the rented space currently have a low rental rate, the Company will have a chance to increase such rental fees and, thus, to generate higher income therefrom in the future. In IFA’s opinion, the said value of consideration of Baht 51 million, which is higher than the appraised value by the IFA by Baht 9.70 million, is reasonable when compared with the prime location and future growth potential of such project. The said value of consideration for the agreement termination is within the appraisal price range between the appraised price by the IFA and the appraised value of Baht 54.30 million by the Independent Valuer. Moreover, the overall benefit to be obtained by the Company from all of the three transactions is still higher than the appraised value by Baht 296.66 million. IFA accordingly views that the payment of Baht 51 million as a consideration for the agreement termination is appropriate.

IFA therefore recommends that the shareholders should approve the acquisition and disposal of assets and the entering into the connected transactions. However, the decision whether to approve the proposed transactions depends primarily on the individual shareholders’ judgment.

The entering into the EBT Transaction is considered as the purchase or acceptance of the transfer of the business from other companies by the Company under Section 107(2)(b) of the Public Limited Companies Act, B.E. 2535. Therefore, the Company is required to hold a meeting of shareholders to consider and approve the acceptance of the transfer of business. In this respect, the resolution of the meeting of shareholders to approve the acceptance of the transfer of business requires an affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the total number of votes of the shareholders attending and eligible to vote at the meeting, excluding the vote of the shareholder having an interest in the matter.

From calculation of the transaction size under the Notification of the Capital Market Supervisory Board No. Tor. Jor. 20/2551 Re: Rules on Entering into Material Transactions Deemed as Acquisition or Disposal of Assets and Notification of the SET Board of Governors Re: Disclosure of Information and Other Acts of Listed Companies Concerning the Acquisition or Disposition of Assets B.E. 2547, the size of the EBT Transaction equals 756.79%, as calculated based on capital shares. Therefore, the transaction is considered an acquisition of assets, Type 4, or backdoor listing. The Company is accordingly required to disclose the information regarding the entering into such transaction to the SET, to appoint an independent financial advisor, and to apply for the approval from the SET by submitting a relisting application to list ordinary shares of the Company as listed securities on the SET in accordance with the Rules of the SET concerning listing of ordinary shares or preferred shares as listed securities. The Company is also obligated to convene a meeting of shareholders to approve the transaction, with a required affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the total number of vote of the shareholders attending and eligible to vote at the meeting, excluding shareholders with interest in the matter.

Moreover, as Khun Santi and SPM are nominated as the management or persons having controlling power over the Company under the conditions for entering into the EBT Transaction as specified above, the entry into the EBT Transaction with Khun Santi and SPM is considered a connected transaction under the Connected Transaction Notifications. From calculation of the transaction size under the Connected Transaction Notifications, the size of the transaction equals 1,079.07% of the Company's net asset value, which is higher than 3% of the Company's net asset value. Therefore, the Company is required to disclose the information regarding the transaction to the SET, to appoint an independent financial advisor, and to hold a meeting of shareholders to approve the transaction. The resolution of the meeting of shareholders to approve the entering into the EBT Transaction under the Business Integration Plan requires an affirmative vote of not

Percentage of disposal (%) 100 100 100 Maximum acquisition price (Baht 000’s) 203,547.07 175,000.00 373,000.00 NTA basis (%) 1/ n/a n/a n/a Net profit basis (%) 2/ n/a n/a n/a Value of consideration paid basis (%) 16.59 14.26 30.85 Share value basis (%) 3/ n/a n/a n/a

Note: 1/ Since the asset is vacant land and has no NTA value, the NTA method is not applicable. 2/ Since the asset is vacant land and does not earn any income, the net profit method is not

applicable. 3/ There is no issuance of shares.

The calculation of transaction size under the Connected Transaction Notifications according to the consolidated financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2013 is as follows:

Entering into such transaction is considered a connected transaction under the Connected Transaction Notifications. From calculation of the transaction size, the size of the transaction equals 52.48% of the Company's net asset value, which is higher than 3% of the Company's net asset value. Therefore, the Company is required to disclose the information regarding this transaction to the SET, to appoint an independent financial advisor, and to hold a meeting of shareholders to approve the transaction. The resolution of the meeting of shareholders to approve the Land Sale Transaction requires an affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the total number of votes of the shareholders attending and eligible to vote at the meeting, excluding shareholders with interest in the matter.

The size of such Land Sale Transaction, when calculated based on value of the consideration paid, equals 30.85%. Therefore, the transaction is considered a disposal of assets, Type 2. The Company is accordingly required to disclose the information regarding the entering

into such transaction to the SET and to submit the information memorandum on the transaction to the shareholders of the Company within 21 days from the date of disclosure to the SET.

c. Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction (in order to acquire 30% ownership of land leased for commercial purpose in The Light House Project which will lead the Company to become sole owner of the leased land)

The Company entered into the Management Agreement with Siam Prime on November 26, 2007, which resulted in 70% of the ownership of land leased for commercial purpose in The Light House Project belonging to the Company and 30% belonging to Siam Prime. The land leased for commercial purpose in this project covers a total area of 5,861.45 square meters. The Company has an intention to terminate the said Management Agreement in order to acquire 100% ownership of the leased land and, hence, to increase flexibility in management of such commercial area. In this respect, the Company will pay Baht 51,000,000 to Siam Prime as a consideration for such agreement termination (please see a summary of the Management Agreement on page 61).

Calculation of transaction size - termination of the Management Agreement

The termination of the Management Agreement will enable the Company to acquire the rest 30% investment in this condominium and commercial area development project from Siam Prime.

The calculation of transaction size under the Acquisition Notifications according to the consolidated financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2013, based on value of the consideration paid, is as follows:

30% investment in the project

Percentage of acquisition (%) 30 Maximum acquisition value (Baht 000’s) 51,000 Value of consideration paid basis (%) 4.16

The calculation of transaction size under the Connected Transaction Notifications according to the consolidated financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2013 is as follows:

Unit: Baht 000’s 30% investment in the project

Transaction value not higher than 3% of NTA of the Company

21,639.77

Maximum transaction value 51,000.00 Connected transaction size as % of NTA of the Company

7.07

The entering into such transaction is considered a connected transaction as Siam Prime’s major shareholders (Khun Kanukros Pongsatad and Khun Thanapat Suwansarang with combined shareholding of 44%) are close relatives (daughter and her spouse) of the executive of the Company (Assoc. Prof. Manob Pongsatad). From the transaction size calculation, the size of the transaction equals 7.07% of the Company's net asset value, which is higher than 3% of the

Page 23: Rasa Property Development Public Company Limited · Rasa Property Development Plc. Subject Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 21า 

Company's net asset value. Therefore, the Company is required to disclose the information regarding the transaction to the SET, to appoint an independent financial advisor, and to hold a meeting of shareholders to approve the transaction. The resolution of the meeting of shareholders to approve the Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction requires an affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the total number of votes of the shareholders attending and eligible to vote at the meeting, excluding shareholders with interest in the matter.

The size of such Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction, when calculated based on value of the consideration paid, equals 4.16%. Therefore, the transaction is considered an acquisition of assets with transaction size lower than 15% of total assets of the Company.

However, Clause 21 of the SET’s Acquisition or Disposition Notification states that "for the purpose of comparing the volume of transactions, the SET may combine separate acquisitions occurring during the 12 months period prior to the date on which a listed company or any of its subsidiaries acquires assets as the same acquisition." In this case, if combining the transaction in a. and the transaction in c. above, the total size of the transactions equals 760.95%. Therefore, it is considered an acquisition of assets, Type 4, or backdoor listing. The Company is accordingly required to disclose the information regarding the entering into such transaction to the SET, to appoint an independent financial advisor, and to apply for the approval from the SET by submitting a relisting application to list ordinary shares of the Company as listed securities on the SET in accordance with the Rules of the Exchange concerning listing of ordinary shares or preferred shares as listed securities. A meeting of shareholders shall also be held to approve the transaction with a required affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the total number of votes of the shareholders attending and eligible to vote at the meeting, excluding shareholders with interest in the matter.

In addition, after such process is completed and the conditions precedent for the share subscription and the tender offer are fulfilled, Khun Santi and SPM will become major shareholders of the Company owning 26.10% and 62.23% of the Company’s paid-up registered capital respectively. Each of them will therefore be obligated to make a mandatory tender offer (“MTO") to purchase all shares of the Company in accordance with the Capital Market Supervisory Board’s Notification No. Tor. Jor. 12/2554 Re: Rules, Conditions and Procedures for the Acquisition of Securities for Business Takeovers. The MTO price will be Baht 1.87 per share. The MTO is expected to be made when Khun Santi and SPM are duly and completely allocated the new ordinary shares of the Company and the Company completely registers the paid-up capital in respect of the shares allocated to Khun Santi and SPM. The MTO by Khun Santi and SPM is not considered as Acting in Concert.

Analysis of operating results and financial position

Operating results in 2011-2013

● Revenue from sale and service

STB recorded revenue from sale and service of Baht 237.09 million, Baht 274.58 million and Baht 260.76 million in 2011-2013 respectively, up by Baht 37.49 million or 15.81% y-o-y in 2012 and down by Baht 13.83 million or 5.04% y-o-y in 2013.

In 2012, STB could grow revenue because Thailand was not plagued by political conflict, leading European visitors to be more confident in visiting the country. At the same time, the hotel revised up its room rates.

In 2013, the revenue dropped due to a temporary close of 14 hotel rooms during September-December 2013 for refurbishment, as well as closing of guestrooms nearby the office building construction area.

• Other income and interest income

In 2011-2013, other income and interest income totaled Baht 13.73 million, Baht 14.35 million and Baht 12.35 million respectively. The major item was interest income, amounting to Baht 10.25 million, Baht 10.48 million and Baht 10.74 million in 2011-2013 respectively. Due to reclassification of accounting items in 2013, interest income was separated from other income, thus leading other income in 2013 to decrease remarkably.

● Cost of sale and service

STB recorded cost of sale and service of Baht 105.13 million, Baht 95.58 million and Baht 96.36 million in 2011-2013 respectively, decreasing by Baht 9.55 million or 9.08% y-o-y in 2012 and increasing by Baht 0.78 million or 0.82% y-o-y in 2013.

In 2012, the decline in cost of sale and service resulted partly from termination of the landscaping service agreement and partly from a stricter control over product and raw material procurement, inventory control and cost control on all sections.

In 2013, cost of sale and service went up slightly from 2012 despite the minimum wage hike to Baht 300 per day or Baht 9,000 per month, stemming from a temporary close of some hotel rooms for renovation and suspended service of guestrooms nearby the office building construction area. However, cost of sale and service as percentage of revenue edged up from 31.70% in 2012 to 35.28% in 2013 as a consequence of the minimum wage increase. During the period of such guestroom renovation and suspended service, STB continued to procure raw materials and products in the quantity close to that procured in the normal course of full operation so as to maintain its service standards. Moreover, it has since January 2013 increased the minimum wage rate to Baht 9,000 per month in line with the government policy, thereby leading to an increase in its expenses.

● Selling and administrative expenses

In 2011-2013, STB recorded selling and administrative expenses of Baht 136.62 million, Baht 134.89 million and Baht 131.12 million respectively, decreasing y-o-y by Baht 1.73 million or 1.27% in 2012 and Baht 3.77 million or 2.80% in 2013 due to a stricter control over product and raw material procurement, inventory control and cost control on all sections.

● Net profit

STB posted a net profit in 2011-2013 of Baht 29.89 million, Baht 54.73 million and Baht 36.03 million respectively, surging by Baht 24.83 million or 83.06% in 2012 and plunging by Baht 18.69 million or 34.16% in 2013 relative to the foregoing year.

Financial position as at December 31, 2011-2013

● Total assets

STB had total assets of Baht 812.89 million, Baht 844.42 million and Baht 815.51 million in 2011-2013 respectively, growing y-o-y by Baht 31.53 million or 3.88% in 2012 and then declining by Baht 28.91 million or 3.42% in 2013.

In 2012, the asset growth was attributed primarily to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of Baht 25.89 million and in long-term loans to related companies of Baht 9.91 million since STB could increase cash flow provided from operating activities.

In 2013, the decline in total assets resulted from a decrease in long-term investments in related companies of Baht 100 million, long-term investments in other companies of Baht 20.31 million, and long-term loans to related companies of Baht 80.46 million due to sale of investments by STB in order to repay loans from directors. The decrease in long-term loans to related companies in 2013 stemmed from reclassification of accounting items, with accrued interest receivable from loans in 2012 being totally included in trade and other receivables-net. As a result, trade and other receivables-net mounted from Baht 14.65 million and Baht 12.28 million in 2011 and 2012 respectively to Baht 106.00 million in 2013.

Nonetheless, its net fixed assets grew by Baht 88.61 million, mainly coming from construction work in progress in respect of the renovation of 14 temporarily-closed rooms and the construction of office building, which commenced in late 2013 and is expected to be completed by 2014. Besides, trade and other receivables-net rose by Baht 93.72 million due to reclassification of accounting items with accrued interest receivable from loans of Baht 91.02 million being incorporated into the said trade and other receivables-net. At the same time, trade accounts receivable-net in 2013 were Baht 11.60 million, close to the preceding year.

● Total liabilities

STB had total liabilities of Baht 112.34 million, Baht 89.15 million and Baht 134.90 million in 2011-2013 respectively, down y-o-y by Baht 23.19 million or 20.65% in 2012 and then up by Baht 45.75 million or 51.32% in 2013.

Page 43: Rasa Property Development Public Company Limited · Rasa Property Development Plc. Subject Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 41า 

In 2012, the drop in total liabilities stemmed from a decrease in overdrafts from financial institutions of Baht 11.56 million and long-term loans from related parties of Baht 15.57 million. This was because STB could bring in sufficient working capital and, hence, needed not to use such overdraft loans and had partially repaid the long-term loans.

In 2013, the increase in total liabilities resulted partly from new borrowing from financial institutions of Baht 57.66 million (comprising current portion of long-term loans from financial institutions-net of Baht 11.00 million and long-term loans from financial institutions-net of Baht 46.66 million) to finance costs of room renovation and office building construction. Such loan was out of the total available credit line of Baht 200 million, with principal and interest payment period of 10 years, payable on a monthly basis as determined by the financial institutions. The amount payable for principal and interest during May-November of each year is set to be lower than all other monthly installments to be consistent with the drop in revenues during such period which is the low season months. The increase in total liabilities also resulted from employee benefit obligations of Baht 18.41 million. At the same time, long-term loans from related parties decreased by Baht 36.31 million due to partial loan repayment.

● Shareholders’ equity

STB’s shareholders’ equity amounted to Baht 700.54 million, Baht 755.27 million and Baht 680.61 million in 2011-2013 respectively, rising by Baht 54.73 million or 7.81% in 2012 and falling by Baht 74.66 million or 9.88% in 2013. Shareholders’ equity increased in line with the yearly results. In 2013, however, STB paid Baht 99.85 million in dividend to its shareholders out of the profit for 1999 and 2000, leading to a drop in the equity in such year.

• Liquidity

As at the end of fiscal year 2011-2013, STB had cash flow of Baht 5.77 million, Baht 31.66 million and Baht 19.53 million respectively. Cash provided from and used in each activity in 2013 was as follows:

o Operating activities: Net cash was provided in the amount of Baht 67.18 million, down by Baht 23.32 million from 2012 due to an increase in trade and other receivables of Baht 9.81 million, a decrease in depreciation and amortization of Baht 9.87 million, and an increase in income tax payment of Baht 3.74 million.

o Investing activities: Net cash was used in the amount of Baht 0.21 million, which dropped from 2012 by Baht 35.87 million because in 2013 STB received proceeds from sales of investments in other companies of Baht 120.31 million whereas payment for purchase of fixed assets increased by Baht 81.93 million.

o Financing activities: Net cash was used in the amount of Baht 79.11 million, increasing from 2012 by Baht 50.57 million due to an increase in repayment of long-term loans from directors of Baht 20.74 million and dividend payment of Baht 99.85 million, with an increase in long-term loans from financial institutions of STB of Baht 57.67 million.

By aggregating the net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of Baht 12.13 million with the beginning balance of cash of Baht 31.66 million, STB had cash balance available as at the end of fiscal 2013 in the amount of Baht 19.53 million.

Analysis of operating results and financial position

SBF has engaged in investment in property-related business and real estate development business and also in shareholding in other entities. Its core assets are thus composed of investments in three subsidiaries. As at December 31, 2013, SBF’s total investments made in ordinary shares of these three entities amounted to Baht 4,135 million with details as follows:

SBF has just been founded on December 12, 2013 and has not yet earned any revenues, nor shown any operating performance. Meanwhile, its three subsidiaries hold vacant land that is still under preparatory stage for further development and, thus, have not yet reported any income and profit from operation.

Here are details of SBF’s subsidiaries:

• Singha Property Development Co., Ltd. (“SPD”)

o Background and business description

Singha Property Development Co., Ltd. (“SPD”) was incorporated on April 22, 2011 to mainly engage in property rental and real estate development business.

At the same time, this group of shareholders established Max Future Co., Ltd. (“MAX”) on April 22, 2011 to operate property rental and real estate development business.

Later, the Japanese Embassy announced an invitation to bidding for its land and construction. SPD and MAX joined in proposing a 70:30 bid for a plot of land with construction located at the corner of Asok Montri-New Phetchaburi intersection, which was the location of the Japanese Embassy. SPD and MAX were selected to win such bid.

Then on March 5, 2012 and June 8, 2012, a meeting of shareholders of both SPD and MAX resolved to approve their merger in order that the property purchased from the Japanese Embassy would be under ownership of one single entity, and jointly resolved to set up a new entity in the same name of Singha Property Development Co., Ltd. On June 12, 2012 SPD and MAX registered a dissolution of both companies and concurrently registered the establishment of the new company to accept a transfer of right to all assets and liabilities of SPD and MAX.

It is headquartered at No. 999 Samsen Road, Thanon Nakhon Chaisi, Dusit, Bangkok. Company Registration No. 0105555084454

Analysis of operating results and financial position

Operating results in 2011-2013

Income from building rental in 2011-2013 was Baht 1.44 million, Baht 1.26 million and Baht 0.85 million respectively, dropping y-o-y by Baht 0.18 million or 12.50% in 2012 and Baht 0.41 million or 32.88% in 2013. The decrease in rental income in 2012-2013 stemmed from a temporary close of the building for renovation between September 2012 and August 2013. The building was reopened for rent in September 2013 with number of rentees increasing from one to three.

No cost of building rental was incurred in 2011-2012 as there was no building renovation and construction in such years. Hence, BRP recorded no cost of building rental with respect to depreciation and no cost of building rental with respect to public utilities, which were water supply expenses, because there was only one rentee and the rentee paid for water supply expenses by itself. For 2013, cost of building rental was Baht 0.85 million, increasing by such amount from the previous year. This was because in 2013 BRP constructed, renovated and decorated the building and accordingly incurred cost of building rental with respect to depreciation of the rented property. After the renovation, number of rentees rose from one to three. BRP therefore paid the water supply expenses and collected the expenses afterwards from the rentees. As a result, cost of building rental was inclusive of utilities expenses.

Page 53า 

Administrative expenses in 2011-2013 totaled Baht 0.11 million, Baht 0.02 million and Baht 0.46 million respectively. In 2012, such expenses decreased by Baht 0.09 million or 81.22% as miscellaneous expenses went down and the withholding income tax assets were not deleted from the account. For 2013, administrative expenses soared by Baht 0.44 million or 2,207.01% due to depreciation cost for general tools of Baht 0.09 million, property appraisal fee of Baht 0.09 million, and an increase in auditing fee of Baht 0.25 million.

Finance cost was Baht 0.32 million in 2013, increasing by such amount from the preceding year due to borrowing raised to cover cost of building construction and renovation.

Financial position as at December 31, 2011-2013

Total assets as of December 31, 2011-2013 were Baht 65.39 million, Baht 69.66 million and Baht 83.67 million respectively, growing y-o-y by Baht 4.27 million or 6.52% in 2012 and Baht 14.01 million or 20.11% in 2013. The major item, investment property-net, amounted to Baht 60 million in 2011 and then increased by Baht 3.39 million to Baht 63.39 million in 2012 and by Baht 16.69 million to Baht 80.07 million in 2013, mainly resulting from building construction, renovation and decoration.

Investment property-net consisted of a plot of land of 2-0-48 rai on Asok Montri Road, buildings and improvement, furniture and fixture.

Total liabilities as at December 31, 2011-2013 were Baht 0.19 million, Baht 3.50 million and Baht 18.30 million respectively, a y-o-y surge of Baht 3.31 million or 1,766.04% in 2012 and Baht 14.80 million or 423.12% in 2013. Such increase in total liabilities in 2012 resulted mainly from an increase in trade and other payables of Baht 3.39 million and, in 2013, was largely caused by short-term loans from Singha Corporation Co., Ltd., which is a related company, of Baht 16 million to finance building construction and modification.

As at December 31, 2011-2013, shareholders’ equity stood at Baht 65.21 million, Baht 66.16 million and Baht 65.36 million respectively, up by Baht 0.95 million in 2012 and down by Baht 0.80 million in 2013 which was in line with working results in each year.

• Liquidity

As at the end of fiscal year 2011-2013, BRP had cash flow of Baht 5.39 million, Baht 6.09 million and Baht 1.87 million respectively. Cash provided from and used in each activity in 2013 was as follows:

o Operating activities: BRP had net cash used of Baht 0.33 million, increasing by Baht 1.03 million, mainly due to an increase in trade and other receivables of Baht 0.49 million and an increase in financial costs of Baht 0.32 million, with loss incurred from 2013 operation of Baht 0.79 million.

o Investing activities: BRP had net cash used of Baht 19.89 million, up by Baht 15.81 million from 2012 largely stemming from investments in building construction and renovation and furniture & fixture totaling Baht 20.92 million.

Page 54า 

o Financing activities: BRP had net cash provided of Baht 16.00 million, increasing by this amount from 2012 due to borrowing from a related company of Baht 16.00 million to meet costs of construction and renovation.

By aggregating the net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of Baht 4.22 million with the beginning balance of cash of Baht 6.09 million, BRP had cash balance available as at the end of fiscal 2013 in the amount of Baht 1.87 million.

1.6.3 Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction (in order to acquire 30% ownership of land leased for commercial purpose in The Light House Project which will lead the Company to become sole owner of the leased land)

On November 26, 2007, the Company and Siam Prime Estate Co., Ltd. (“Siam Prime”) entered into the Management Agreement on The Light House Project, under which it is mutually agreed that the two parties shall join in constructing a residential condominium project in Charoen Nakhon area offering 297 units, together with area leased for commercial purpose on four floors with a total area of 5,861.45 square meters, in a proportion of 70% and 30% respectively.

The Light House Project was completely constructed and all units were sold out, thus enabling the Company and Siam Prime to fully repay debts and return all investment funds, as well as sharing of benefits according to investment structure under the Management Agreement. However, there remains the land leased for commercial purpose. The Company intends to terminate the Management Agreement with Siam Prime in order to become sole owner of the said leased land in The Light House Project, which will increase flexibility in management of such leased area. The Company has accordingly proposed to terminate the Management Agreement with Siam Prime and will pay Baht 51 million as a consideration for the agreement termination, as negotiated with Siam Prime.

1.7 Industry situation relating to business operation of the acquired assets

Overview of hotel business

Thailand possesses a wide variety of tourist attractions including natural attractions, food and culture in various parts of the country, coupled with an array of tourism promotion events such as Songkran Festival, International Horticulture Exposition, etc. Winning the world-class Best Tourist Country award and Best Country Brand for Value for Money award helps make Thailand become well recognized internationally and draw an increasing number of tourists to the country. Growth in tourism industry augurs well for hotel business as these two sectors are directly related. Hotel business also hinges on factors such as economic condition, currency exchange, physical environment and climate, season, etc. Hotel business growth is driven not only by international tourists, but also by local visitors. Thailand’s tourism situation in 2010-2012 reported by Department of Tourism can be concluded as follows:

Growth rate (%) - 28.52 17.31 - 10.51 28.37 Source: Department of Tourism, Ministry of Tourism and Sports

Based on the report on Thailand’s tourism situation in 2010-2012 by Department of Tourism, Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the aggregate number of Thai and foreign visitors in Thailand grew from 156.43 million persons in 2010 to 198.99 million persons in 2012, representing an average y-o-y growth rate of 12.80%. As well, revenues earned from visitors increased from Baht 904,376 million in 2010 to Baht 1,349,793 million in 2012, representing an average y-o-y increase rate of 22.17%. As a consequence, number of accommodations rose from 454,686 rooms in 2010 to 530,623 rooms in 2012, representing an average y-o-y growth rate of 22.92%.

As regards the tourism market on Samui Island, Surat Thani Province, where Santiburi Hotel is located, the said Department of Tourism’s report showed that the aggregate number of Thai and foreign visitors to Samui Island soared from 0.79 million persons in 2010 to 1.25 million persons in 2012, representing an average y-o-y growth rate of 27.88%. At the same time, revenues earned from visitors surged from Baht 9,228 million in 2010 to Baht 17,680 million in 2012, an average y-o-y increase rate of 39.15%. Correspondingly, number of accommodations rose from 15,012 rooms in 2010 to 19,857 rooms in 2012, representing an average y-o-y growth rate of 19.44%.

As evident from the above report, Thai tourism industry has witnessed a recovery as propelled by growth in both number of visitors and revenues from tourism. Another contributing factor is the National Tourism Development Plan 2012-2016 outlined by National Tourism Policy Commission with aims to revivify and stimulate Thai tourism sector for growth and sustainability and to boost and enhance potential in tourism revenue generation with a view to ensuring Thai tourism’s readiness in terms of quality and competitiveness and strengthening income generation and distribution in parallel with sustainable development. Moreover, World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) forecasts that by 2020 number of international tourists will reach 1,600 million persons and East Asia, Pacific and Southeast Asia regions will likely become top tourist destinations with ongoing growth in number of visitors. It is therefore possible that Thai tourism will pick up, which will further bode well for hotel industry.

Analysis of operating results and financial position

Operating results in fiscal 2011-2013

• Revenues

The Company recorded revenues from sales in 2011-2013 of Baht 1,235.98 million, Baht 630.58 million and Baht 483.58 million respectively, a y-o-y drop of Baht 605.40 million or 48.98% in 2012 and Baht 148.00 million or 23.47% in 2013. The revenues contraction in 2012 resulted from a change in accounting method for income recognition in 2011 and a transfer of a large number of The Light House and INTRO Condominium units to customers. This was because, in 2011, the projects had just been finished and, hence, transfers were made to a great number of customers who bought the property since the start of project, while in 2012, transfers were gradually made based on sales. For 2013, the revenues declined because transfers of INTRO Condominium units were in a smaller amount than in 2012 and The Light House project was closed in Q3/2013.

• Costs of sales

Costs of sales consisted of costs of land and houses sold and costs of condominium units sold. In 2011-2013, costs of land and houses sold were Baht 119.04 million, Baht 46.80 million and Baht 129.16 million respectively, plunging y-o-y by Baht 72.24 million or 60.69% in 2012 and soaring by Baht 82.36 million or 176.00% in 2013. Costs of condominium units sold in 2011-2013 were Baht 738.04 million, Baht 385.93 million and Baht 204.64 million respectively, dropping y-o-y by Baht 352.11 million or 47.71% in 2012 and Baht 181.29 million or 46.97% in 2013 which was in tandem with sales. Costs of sales made up 69.50%, 69.06% and 69.75% of revenues from sales in 2011-2013 respectively.

• Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses in 2011-2013 totaled Baht 147.45 million, Baht 114.45 million and Baht 96.65 million respectively, declining y-o-y by Baht 33.00 million or 22.38% in 2012 and Baht 17.8 million or 15.55% in 2013 in line with the sales contraction.

• Net profit

The Company posted a net profit in 2011-2013 of Baht 174.92 million, Baht 43.11 million and Baht 23.13 million respectively, plummeting by Baht 131.81 million or 75.35% in 2012 and Baht 19.98 million or 46.34% in 2013 due to a drop in income recognition.

Financial position as at December 31, 2011-2013

• Total assets

From its financial position as at December 31, 2011-2013, the Company had total assets of Baht 1,543.70 million, Baht 1,227.73 million and Baht 1,227.01 million respectively, decreasing y-o-y by Baht 315.97 million or 20.47% in 2012 and Baht 0.72 million or 0.06% in 2013. The decline in total assets in 2012 stemmed from completion of sales and closing of The Parklane Project and also from gradual transfers of The Light House and INTRO Condominium units. Meanwhile, new investments in 2012 were made in horizontal property which did not require a huge amount of funds. Fallouts from the late-2011 flood crisis prompted the Company to become more stringent in launching any new investments. However, part of the assets is land held for development which the Company will develop in 2013 and will thereby help to strengthen its income stability in the future.

• Total liabilities

As at December 31, 2011-2013, the Company had total liabilities of Baht 858.91 million, Baht 510.23 million and Baht 491.38 million respectively, decreasing y-o-y by Baht 348.68 million or 40.60% in 2012 and Baht 18.45 million or 3.84% in 2013. The decrease in total liabilities in 2012 and 2013 was primarily due to the use of funds received from transfers of ownership to customers for loan repayment to financial institutions and also for development of the two projects, whereas the amount of loan repayment was more than the amount of loans disbursed for new project development.

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 73า 

The drop in current liabilities in 2012 stemmed from a decrease in short-term loans, current portion of long-term loans, and unearned installments income as transfers of condominium units were made during the year and revenues therefrom were already recognized. In 2013, current liabilities went up on account of an increase in current portion of long-term loans.

• Shareholders’ equity

As at December 31, 2011-2013, shareholders’ equity totaled Baht 684.79 million, Baht 707.56 million and Baht 735.64 million respectively, growing y-o-y by Baht 32.77 million or 4.79% in 2012 and Baht 18.08 million or 2.52% in 2013. Such equity growth was contributed by a capital increase by the Company in 2012 and 2013 with payment of stock dividends to its shareholders. From analysis of capital structure, the Company’s debt to equity stood at 1.25, 0.71 and 0.97 time respectively.

In 2012, the Company made dividend payment totaling Baht 111,111,113, divided into stock dividends of Baht 99,999,986 through issuance of 99,999,986 new ordinary shares at a price of Baht 1 per share and cash dividend of Baht 11,111,127 to cover withholding tax payable.

In 2013, the Company made dividend payment totaling Baht 55,553,887, divided into stock dividends of Baht 49,998,415 through issuance of 49,998,415 new ordinary shares at a price of Baht 1 per share and cash dividend of not more than Baht 5,555,472 to cover withholding tax payable.

• Liquidity

As at the end of fiscal 2011-2013, Company had cash balance of Baht 8.50 million, Baht 35.50 million and Baht 13.97 million respectively. Cash provided from and used in business activities in 2013 can be concluded as follows:

o Operating activities: The Company had net cash provided from operating activities of Baht 11.66 million, plunging from 2012 by Baht 259.10 million due to an increase in costs of property development projects.

o Investing activities: The Company had net cash used in investing activities of Baht 4.32 million, dropping from 2012 by Baht 1.15 million due to an increase in payment for purchase of equipment and computer programs.

o Financing activities: The Company had net cash used in financing activities of Baht 28.87 million, plunging from 2012 by Baht 211.73 million due to an increase in long-term loans of Baht 208.70 million.

By aggregating the net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of Baht 21.53 million with beginning cash balance of Baht 35.50 million, the Company had cash balance at the end of fiscal 2013 of Baht 13.97 million.

2.2 Overview of industry relating to the Company’s business

Over the past few years, property market was hit from time to time by economic crises at home and overseas, including, among others, the EU’s financial turbulence in 2011 and Thailand’s devastating floods that broke out towards the end of that year. In 2012, despite impacts from financial turmoil in Cyprus and Italy, the eurozone members, Thai property market could return to normalcy, helped by massive capital influx from western countries into Asia. In 2013, the ongoing western fund inflow into Asian region coupled with domestic capital flow from the government-promoted mega project investments led the property sector to recover. However, the internal political impasse that took place in the latter half of 2013 caused a decrease in consumers’ spending, particularly huge spending, thus leading property market expansion to stall.

The unification of 10 Southeast Asian countries into ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015 will result in ASEAN production market becoming a single market and production base. As such, the cheaper property prices in Thailand, compared with Singapore and Malaysia, could help attract more capital flow from western countries into Thailand.

For 2014, the internal political unrest that prevails from late 2013 still poses an adverse impact and seems unlikely to be resolved in the near term, hence signaling a continued slowdown in the overall economy and the property market.

Of the total number of such properties, about 69,500 units were condominium units and 60,600 units were

horizontal residential properties. Apparently, the number of condominium units was more than the number of horizontal residences, partly due to effects from the 2011 massive flooding.

The two existing projects of the Company, one being horizontal and the other being vertical, are both located in prime areas, as evident from a lot of newly built residential properties also situated in such areas. Besides, convenient transportation is another contributing factor of both projects, stemming from the opening of Chalongrat Expressway, the expropriation of land for construction of Ram Inthra – Outer Ring Road Expressway in the areas of Bang Khen, Sai Mai and Khlong Sam Wa, the Pink Line electric train project (Pak Kret – Lak Si – Min Buri – Suwinthawong), and the Phahon Yothin – Rattanakosin Somphot road construction project.

Residential property projects of the Company and other developers in nearby areas are as follows:

Outlook of future residential property development

Vertical residential property, or condominium, projects still have room for expansion in areas close to the forthcoming electric train line extensions due to clarity in their routes and construction plans, including the Blue Line, Purple Line and Green Line. Property development can also expand to the suburbs of Bangkok and its vicinities where electric train systems will pass through in the future. Horizontal housing will likely increase in Bangkok’s suburbs and surrounding provinces because this type of property project requires plenty of space whereas a large plot of vacant land is very scarce in the inner Bangkok areas or, if so, is very expensive. In the provincial areas, housing property is expected to witness ongoing growth, especially in the cities along the high-speed train system routes as well as the border provinces.

The 2011 flood crisis has spurred demand for high-rise residential property such as condominium, while demand for horizontal housing has declined, particularly in the flood-stricken areas.

Control measure on property loan provision

On November 25, 2010, the Bank of Thailand released rules on credit-risk asset calculation for commercial banks (No. 3) by determining a loan to value (LTV) ratio for housing credits with property price less than Baht 10 million. Under the revised rules, commercial banks’ housing loans for high-rise properties such as condominiums are limited to 90% of a property’s agreed sale and purchase price, applicable to sale and purchase agreements as from January 1, 2011 onwards. For low-rise housing such as detached house, duplex and townhouse, the LTV ratio is capped at 95% of a property’s agreed sale and purchase price, applicable to sale and purchase agreements as from January 1, 2012 onwards. However, on

Page 76า 

November 25, 2011, the BOT announced a delay of the implementation of the LTV ratio rules for low-rise housing loans until January 1, 2013 due to severe impacts of the late-2011 flood crisis on property sector. Such postponement aims to help relieve financial burden on banks, property developers and the public.

3. Reasonableness of the transactions

3.1 Objective and necessity of the transactions

The Company intends to implement a business integration plan by accepting the entire business transfer (EBT) of STB and SBF, consisting of all assets and liabilities of both companies, including, but not limited to, their rights, duties, obligations, commitments and liabilities owned or incurred by STB and/or SBF as of the transfer date, including all shares owned by SBF in: (a) SPD of 99.99% of paid-up registered capital; (b) BRP of 99.99% of paid-up registered capital; and (c) MAX of 99.99% of paid-up registered capital. In this respect, the Company will allocate its 4,162,352,331 newly issued ordinary shares with a par value of Baht 1 per share on a private placement basis to: (a) Khun Santi Bhirombhakdi in the amount of 1,229,946,524 shares at Baht 1.87 per share, totaling Baht 2,300,000,000; and (b) Singha Property Management Co., Ltd. (“SPM”) in the amount of 2,932,405,807 shares at Baht 1.87 per share, totaling Baht 5,483,598,859, as payment in kind for the transfer of entire business of STB and SBF to the Company.

After completion of the EBT Transaction, the Company will continue the core business of real estate development as usual and will expand into a more diverse property-related business. In the future, the newcoming major shareholder group will assist in developing more new property projects to complement the Company’s existing business as well as embarking on other property-related businesses such as hotel, office building for rent, serviced apartment, high-end housing estate, and so on. In this respect, STB already is operator of a five-star hotel on Samui Island in Surat Thani Province, whereas SBF owns vacant land in prime areas in Bangkok that is developable into a large-scale office building, residential condominium, housing estate, etc. The new shareholder group has had a solid capital base and financial standing and a strong reputation, thus being capable of developing new property projects. They also have a team of professional management and staff members with extensive experience and skill in real estate and hotel project development.

Under the terms and conditions for business integration, the Company must sell its two plots of vacant land to Khun Rapi Pinitchob (“Khun Rapi”), who is a major shareholder and management of the Company, or any individual or juristic person designated by Khun Rapi, and must terminate the Management Agreement for land leased for commercial purpose in The Light House Project signed with Siam Prime Estate Co., Ltd. (“Siam Prime”) in order to increase flexibility and efficiency in the management of such commercial area.

In addition, the new shareholder group plans to change the Company’s board composition by nominating their representatives to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company according to their shareholding percentage. They will also change the Company’s management and corporate structure to fit with future business expansion so as to enhance flexibility and competitiveness in business operation.

Therefore, by implementing the business integration plan through entire business transfer of STB and SBF, the Company will generate income primarily from the operation of hotel business and real estate development business. It will focus on the hotel business, real estate business and property

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 78า 

rental business which will be compatible with the new management’s experience. This will allow the Company to diversify into a more diverse type of property business and, hence, to reduce risk from its existing sole reliance on residential property business. The Company will then be able to earn greater revenues and increase its profitability in the future, thus benefiting the Company and the shareholders in the long term.

3.2 Advantages and disadvantages of entering into the transactions

3.2.1 Advantages and disadvantages of entering into the merger transaction with STB and SBF

3.2.1.1 Advantages of entering into the transaction

1. Growth in revenues and net profit

The Company has been a developer of housing estate and residential condominium projects. In the past 2 - 3 years, it has operated two condominium projects. One of them is The Light House Project which is a residential condominium on Charoen Nakhon Road offering a total of 297 units with a project value of Baht 1,500 million, already sold out. The other one is Intro Condominium Project on Pradiphat Road, featuring a 37-storied residential condominium of 450 units with a project value of Baht 1,450 million, already sold with only 40 remaining units. The Company also operates a townhome project, RASA Maxx Ville, on Phahon Yothin 73 Road, featuring 217 units of two-storied, 18.8 - 39.8 square wah townhome with a project value of Baht 520 million, of which 93 units were sold and transferred already with 124 remaining units (66 of the remaining units were sold and awaiting transfer with only 58 units left unsold). Currently, the Company has not developed any other property.

From its existing business operation, the Company’s revenue earning has been inconsistent, depending on property sales and development in each period. In 2010-2013, the Company recorded total revenues from property sales of Baht 411.14 million, Baht 1,223.29 million, Baht 626.61 million and Baht 478.54 million respectively with a net profit of Baht 1.12 million, Baht 173.63 million, Baht 43.88 million and Baht 23.63 million respectively.

After accepting the transfer of the entire business of STB and SBF, the Company’s total revenues and profit will increase since the revenues and performance of STB will immediately belong to the Company. STB operates a hotel business in the name, ‘Santiburi Beach Resorts, Golf & Spa,’ which is a five-star hotel with 71 rooms (currently being in the process of expansion to 102 rooms). Located on Mae Nam Beach, Samui Island, Surat Thani Province, the hotel has been in operation for more than 20 years. It is a well-known hotel for tourists with quality service standards, ranking among the top accommodations of Samui Island. STB has operated the hotel with business stability and profitable performance. It recorded revenues from operation of Baht 241.54 million, Baht 237.09 million, Baht 274.58 million and Baht 260.76 million in 2010-2013 respectively and a

Page 81: Rasa Property Development Public Company Limited · Rasa Property Development Plc. Subject Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 79า 

net profit of Baht 43.23 million, Baht 29.89 million, Baht 54.73 million and Baht 36.05 million. Its average occupancy rate in 2011-2013 stood at 72.8%, 82.1% and 79.1% respectively.

Subsequent to the entire business transfer of STB, the Company will be able to consolidate revenues and profit earned from STB’s hotel business into its performance immediately. This will be another source of income and profit for the Company and help to reduce risk from its real estate business and provide an opportunity of consistent income and profit generation in the long run. By entering into this transaction, the Company will have a larger business scale and a more diverse revenue structure, thus helping to stabilize its income and profit that currently rely on the property business only and creating benefit to the Company and its shareholders in the long term.

Given that the partial renovation and new room construction are delayed, it may cause the Company to lose revenues from hotel operation. Nonetheless, STB itself has had experience in its hotel renovation and could control and keep the renovation process on track. As specified in the construction service contract, any construction delay by the contractor itself will result in the contractor being fined according to the delayed work. The Company must, however, manage to control and ensure the construction is completed as scheduled since the hotel has already given a prior notice to tourists of the temporary close of the hotel for renovation during September-December 2014 and the reopening to service in January 2015. Thus, the hotel has to control and make sure the renovation is accomplished on schedule.

As for SBF, its core assets are investments in three subsidiaries. Subsequent to the merger, the three subsidiaries of SBF will become the Company’s subsidiaries. They own three plots of vacant land that are located in prime areas potentially developable for commercial purpose. The new shareholder group of the Company is currently in the process of studying commercial viability of these three projects. If the Company can develop such projects, its total revenues will further increase in the future.

2. Expansion of business scale

By entering into this transaction, the Company will have a larger scale of business in terms of both assets and registered capital. As of December 31, 2013, it had total assets of Baht 1,227.01 million and a paid-up registered capital of Baht 549.99 million. After acceptance of the entire business transfer from STB and SBF, its total assets will grow to Baht 6,576.30 million and its paid-up registered capital will rise to Baht 4,712.35 million, with an increase in both liabilities and shareholders’ equity, thereby resulting in a six-fold larger business size.

Page 82: Rasa Property Development Public Company Limited · Rasa Property Development Plc. Subject Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 80า 

Moreover, the Company will be able to immediately recognize income from the hotel business of STB and, hence, could record higher revenues from operation. After the entire business transfer from SBF, the Company will acquire all assets of SBF, consisting of investments in three subsidiaries. The core assets of the three subsidiaries include three plots of vacant land held for development: (1) land on New Phetchaburi Road with an area of 11-1-24 rai; (2) land on Asok Road of 2-0-48 rai; and (3) land on Pradit Manutham Road of 30-2-10 rai. The management of SBF has devised plans on property development on such land and is currently conducting a commercial feasibility study on each project. Since all plots of land are in high potential areas, if the Company can develop and invest in property projects on such land in the future, it will then be able to expand business and have a larger business scale, which will benefit the Company and its shareholders in the long term.

3. Acquisition of good assets in prime locations

After acceptance of the entire business transfer from STB and SBF, the Company will become the owner of Santiburi Beach Resorts, Golf & Spa, on Samui Island, Surat Thani Province, which has been in operation for a long period of time with profitable performance, thus enabling the Company to instantly recognize income and profit from this business. but also three pieces of vacant land by way of shareholding through three subsidiaries of SBF. All of the three plots of land are in strategic locations appropriate for further development of property projects that will generate reasonable benefit and return for the Company and its shareholders in the long term. At the same time, the Company will own 99.99% of paid-up registered capital of the three subsidiaries of SBF, namely SPD, BRP and MAX, which possess three plots of vacant land in prime locations with high growth potential in Bangkok’s business areas. The land, covering a large area, is developable into property projects that will generate favorable return for the Company. The new shareholder group of the Company has plans on property development projects for all three subsidiaries and has prepared personnel and management team with skill and experience in hotel and property development, together with funding sources available for financing all future projects of the Company. As such, if the Company can proceed with property project development on the three plots of land, the Company and its shareholders will gain benefit in the future.

The future projects under the Company’s plans on development of the three plots of land subsequent to the entire business transfer can be concluded as follows:

1) SPD’s land of 11-1-24 rai on New Phetchaburi Road

This plot of land was the former location of the Japanese Embassy located at the corner of Asok Montri-New Phetchaburi intersection, about 20 meters from MRT’s Phetchaburi Station and around 200 meters from Airport Link electric train station. It is in a high potential area, close to Asok business zone where there are a large number of office

buildings and connected to Sukhumvit Road. The new shareholder group of the Company plans to develop office buildings with commercial zone on such land, with an estimated project value of Baht 6,000 million. The project will feature two office buildings, conference rooms, a small 21-room hotel, and commercial area for selling merchandise to employees in the buildings and the general public. It is estimated that the project will cover a total space of approximately 144,250 square meters and will begin construction in Q3/2015 and be completed by Q2/2018. A study on its commercial viability is still underway.

2) BRP’s land of 2-0-48 rai on Asok Montri Road

This plot of land, once the location of Singha Beer House, has a high development potential as it is in the middle part of Asok Montri Road. The new shareholder group of the Company plans to develop such land into a serviced apartment and office building. Construction is scheduled to start in Q2/2015 and be finished in Q3/2017. A study on its commercial viability is still underway.

3) MAX’s land of 30-2-10 rai on Pradit Manutham Road

This plot of land is in a residential area on Ekkamai-Ram Inthra Expressway along road. The new shareholder group of the Company plans to develop such land into a high-end housing estate project offering 28 housing units each with an area of around 235 square meters. The total project value is estimated at Baht 3,200 million. The target groups will be high-income earners. Construction will commence in Q4/2015 and is expected to be completed by Q3/2019. A study on commercial viability is underway.

After completion of the EBT of STB and SBF, the Land Sale Transaction, and the Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction, the Company will own the following properties:

3.2.1.2 Disadvantages of entering into the transaction

1. Control dilution effect on existing shareholders

In the entry into this transaction, the Company will have to increase its registered capital from Baht 549,998,401 to Baht 4,712,350,732 through an issuance of 4,162,352,331 new ordinary shares with a par value of Baht 1 per share for allocation at a price of Baht 1.87 per share to Khun Santi Bhirombhakdi, who is STB’s existing shareholder, in the amount of 1,229,946,524 shares totaling Baht 2,300,000,000 as payment in kind for the transfer of entire business of STB to the Company, and also for allocation to SPM, which is SBF’s existing shareholder, in the amount of 2,932,405,807 shares totaling Baht 5,483,598,859 as payment in kind for the transfer of entire business of SBF to the Company. Such capital increase will result in a control dilution effect on the existing shareholders of the Company as follows:

Before capital increase After capital increase % increase/ decrease No. of shares

(shares) % No. of shares

(shares) %

1. Existing shareholders of the Company

549,998,401 100.00 549,998,401 11.67 -88.33

2. SPM - - 2,932,405,807 62.23 +62.23 3. Khun Santi Bhirombhakdi - - 1,229,946,524 26.10 +26.10

Total 549,998,401 100.00 4,712,350,732 100.00

The said capital increase and allocation of newly issued shares on a private placement basis to Khun Santi and SPM will cause shareholding percentage of the Company’s existing shareholders to be diluted by 88.33% to 11.67% of total registered and paid-up capital, whereas the new shareholder group, comprising SPM and Khun Santi, will hold 62.23% and 26.10% of shares in the Company respectively.

Moreover, the increased number of shares will cause a dilution effect on value per share of the Company, including book value per share, earnings per share, and share price etc.

The new shares issuance and allocation will have a dilution effect on market price of the Company’s shares, leading the market price to drop by 8.70% (calculated by comparison of the average market price for one day, i.e. April 10, 2014 which is the day before the board meeting date, which is equal to Baht 2.07, with the market price after the

Page 85: Rasa Property Development Public Company Limited · Rasa Property Development Plc. Subject Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering

Page 83า 

share allocation, which is derived from a sum of the average market price before the share allocation date multiplied by total number of existing shares of the Company and the offering price multiplied by number of shares allocated to the new shareholder group, then divided by a sum of total number of existing shares of the Company and total number of new shares allocated to the new shareholders, resulting in market price after share allocation of Baht 1.89 per share).

2. Loss incurred in the initial period of investment

After entering into the transaction, the Company plans to develop new properties on the existing vacant land of the three subsidiaries of SBF, including an office building project of SPD, a serviced apartment and office building project of BRP, and a housing estate project of MAX. It is typical of the property development business that during property construction and sale period, there will be no income recognition until transfers are made to buyers. Construction generally takes around 2-3 years to complete. As such, the Company may suffer from loss during project construction period. If loss from the project is higher than overall profit, it could cause the Company to be unable to pay dividend to its shareholders during the said period.

3. Risk associated with business operation and property development

After acceptance of entire business of STB and SBF, the Company will additionally acquire a hotel business and an office building for rent business. The hotel business operated by STB will be transferred to the Company, following which the Company will be able to immediately recognize income and profit from the hotel operation. If the hotel business performance does not turn out as expected in the future, it could affect the Company’s consolidated performance. However, STB’s hotel has been in operation for a long period of time with strong reputation and financial position and has made consistent profit from the operation. Accordingly, after the entire business transfer, the hotel will likely continue to operate profitably as in the past years.

Given that the partial renovation and new room construction are delayed, it may cause the Company to lose revenues from hotel operation. Nonetheless, STB itself has had experience in its hotel renovation and could control and keep the renovation process on track. As specified in the construction service contract, any construction delay by the contractor itself will result in the contractor being fined according to the delayed work. The Company must, however, manage to control and ensure the construction is completed as scheduled since the hotel has already given a prior notice to tourists of the temporary close of the hotel for renovation during September-December 2014 and the reopening to service in January 2015. Thus, the hotel has to control and make sure the renovation is accomplished on schedule.

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 84า 

As for other properties of the three subsidiaries of SBF, to develop new projects thereon will necessitate additional borrowing to fund the project investments. A success in property development hinges on factors such as economic situation, real estate market condition and the public’s consumption. If these factors are unfavorable, they could have an adverse impact on project development by the Company, as well as its funding, liquidity, sales and profit.

4. Increase in loans

After acceptance of the entire business transfer from STB and SBF, the Company will have to raise additional loans since STB plans to renovate Santiburi Beach Resorts, Golf & Spa, during September-December 2014 and to construct 31 additional rooms (total number of rooms is 71 before renovation and will increase to 102 rooms thereafter). Funding for such renovation and construction will come from borrowing from a financial institution. Although, after the merger, the Company will have to accept a transfer of such loan of STB, it will not affect the Company’s financial position, as evident from the Company’s debt to equity ratio which stands at 0.67 time before the merger and at 0.13 time after the merger (based on the consolidated financial statements and the pro forma consolidated financial statements on page 95).

Nonetheless, the Company has a future plan to develop large-scale projects on the three plots of land after the entire business transfer from SBF, including an office building and commercial area project, a serviced apartment and office building project, and a high-end housing estate project, all of which require a huge amount of investment. To invest in these projects will therefore necessitate additional borrowing from financial institutions, which will increase the Company’s debt and interest expenses.

3.2.2 Advantages and disadvantages of entering into the Land Sale Transaction

3.2.2.1 Advantages of entering into the transaction

1. Proceeds obtainable from land sale

After entering into this transaction, the Company will have to sell two parcels of vacant land: (1) vacant land of 33-2-81.4 rai in Don Mueang area on Soi Phahon Yothin 73 and (2) two pieces of vacant land of 54-2-30 rai and 89-0-80 rai in Lam Luk Ka area, to Khun Rapi, who is the major shareholder and management of the Company. Such land sale is in compliance with the terms and conditions agreed upon between the Company and the new shareholder group which has no intention to use these plots of vacant land as their locations do not match the target groups of the new shareholders. Besides, the Don Mueang plot of land is situated in the airplane take-off/landing direction of Don Mueang Airport and, thus, is not appropriate for housing property development. For this reason, the

Page 87: Rasa Property Development Public Company Limited · Rasa Property Development Plc. Subject Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 85า 

new shareholders of the Company do not wish to keep such land which will become a burden on the Company in the future.

From the land sale, the Company will receive total proceeds of Baht 373,000,000 and can use it for debt repayment and/or for financing its future project investment and/or for meeting its working capital needs. In entering into this transaction, the Company will incur a loss of Baht 4.40 million. After deduction of land sale tax of Baht 11.87 million, it will receive a net amount of Baht 361.13 million.

3.2.2.2 Disadvantages of entering into the transaction

1. A decrease in vacant land available for development

Before entering into this transaction, the Company has four plots of vacant land held for future development: (1) land on Ram Inthra Road of 13-2-72.1 rai; (2) land on Watcharaphon Road of 1-2-9.2 rai; (3) land in Don Mueang area on Soi Phahon Yothin 73 of 33-2-81.4 rai; and (4) two pieces of land in Lam Luk Ka area of 54-2-30 rai and 89-0-80 rai. After the entry into this transaction, the Company will sell the land no. (3) and (4) to Khun Rapi, who is its shareholder and management, to comply with the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Integration Plan. Therefore, it will have a fewer plots of land available for property development, i.e. land plots no. (1) and (2) above.

2. Loss from the land sale

As for the two plots of land to be sold by the Company, the land in Don Mueang area has a book value of Baht 203.55 million and the land in Lam Luk Ka area of Baht 173.85 million, making Baht 377.40 million in total. These two plots of land will be sold at a price of Baht 198.00 million and Baht 175.00 million respectively, totaling Baht 373.00 million. Thus, the Company will incur a loss of Baht 4.40 million from such land sale.

3.2.3 Advantages and disadvantages of entering into the Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction (in order to acquire 30% ownership of land leased for commercial purpose in The Light House Project which will lead the Company to become sole owner of the leased land)

3.2.3.1 Advantages of entering into the transaction

1. Increase of efficiency in management of plaza areas of The Light House condominium project

On November 26, 2007, the Company entered into the Management Agreement with Siam Prime Estate Co., Ltd. (“Siam Prime”), which resulted in ownership of land leased for commercial purpose in The Light House Project and profit/loss sharing between the Company and Siam Prime in a proportion of 70% and 30% of total investment

Page 88: Rasa Property Development Public Company Limited · Rasa Property Development Plc. Subject Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 86า 

respectively. The land leased for commercial purpose in this project covers a total area of approximately 5,861.45 square meters. After termination of the said Management Agreement, the Company will acquire 100% ownership of the said land leased for commercial purpose, which will allow it to have total control power over the operation in such area and to determine or redefine the future management plan or policy independently with more flexibility in management, as well as to recognize 100% of profit from such project operation, thereby increasing efficiency in business operation in the said area.

3.2.3.2 Disadvantages of entering into the transaction

1. Increase in expenses

In the termination of the Management Agreement on the plaza areas of The Light House Project with Siam Prime, although it will comply with the conditions between the Company and the new shareholders, the Company will have to pay Baht 51 million in cash to Siam Prime as a consideration for such agreement termination. After the said agreement termination, the Company will become sole owner of The Light House Project. As such, if in the future the project operates at a loss, the Company will have to recognize the full amount of such loss.

3.3 Advantages and disadvantages of not entering into the transactions

3.3.1 Advantages and disadvantages of not entering into the merger transaction with STB and SBF

3.3.1.1 Advantages of not entering into the transaction

1. No control dilution effect on existing shareholders

If the Company does not enter into this transaction, it will not have to increase the registered capital and allocate the newly issued shares to the new shareholders. Accordingly, there will not be any control dilution effect on the existing shareholders of the Company due to such capital increase and allocation of the new shares on a private placement basis to Khun Santi and SPM.

2. No risk exposure from investment in large-scale property projects

If the Company does not enter into this transaction, it will not be exposed to risk from investment in large-sized real estate development. It is typical of property business that loss will be incurred in the initial period of operation. If loss from the property projects is higher than profit earned from other businesses of the Company, it could cause the Company to incur loss from its overall performance, which will lessen its ability to pay dividend to its shareholders.

3. No borrowing requirement for large-scale projects in the future

If the Company does not enter into this transaction, it will not have to raise a huge amount of new loans and funding for large-scale property development in the future to be undertaken by the subsidiaries transferred from SBF, which will then lead the Company to bear higher debt burden and interest expenses.

3.3.1.2 Disadvantages of not entering into the transaction

1. Loss of opportunity for long-term consistent growth in revenues and profit

If the Company does not enter into this transaction, it will not be able to recognize revenues and profit from the operation of Santiburi Beach Resorts, Golf & Spa, as its own income, nor to invest in property development on the three plots of land of SBF’s subsidiaries. As such, the Company will not be able to expand into a more diverse type of property business and mitigate risk from sole reliance on its existing core business of housing estate and residential condominium development, hence a loss of opportunity for consistent growth in overall revenues and profit in the long run.

2. Loss of opportunity for ownership of potential assets in prime locations

If the Company does not enter into this transaction, it will lose an opportunity to own a promising hotel business. Santiburi Beach Resorts, Golf & Spa, is widely recognized among tourists and has had a high occupancy rate. It has been in operation for more than 20 years and has made consistent profit from the operation.

Moreover, the Company will lose an opportunity to acquire three plots of land belonging to SBF’s subsidiaries, which are of high potential in prime areas and can be developed into property projects and other continuing projects.

3.3.2 Advantages and disadvantages of not entering into the Land Sale Transaction

3.3.2.1 Advantages of not entering into the transaction

1. Availability of vacant land for property development

If the Company does not enter into this transaction, it will have the same amount of land available for property project development since it will not have to sell two plots of land to Khun Rapi, who is its shareholder and management.

2. No recognition of loss from the land sale

If the Company does not enter into this transaction, it will not have to suffer from loss from the land sale in the amount of Baht 4.40 million.

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 88า 

3.3.2.2 Disadvantages of not entering into the transaction

1. Non-receipt of proceeds from the land sale

If the Company does not enter into this transaction, it will not receive proceeds from the land sale of Baht 373.00 million and, hence, will not have funds available for debt repayment and/or use a working capital in future investment and/or use as working capital in business operation of the Company.

3.3.3 Advantages and disadvantages of not entering into the Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction (in order to acquire 30% ownership of land leased for commercial purpose in The Light House Project which will lead the Company to become sole owner of the leased land)

3.3.3.1 Advantages of not entering into the transaction

1. No expenses arising from the agreement termination

If the Company does not terminate the Management Agreement, it will not have to pay Baht 51 million to Siam Prime as a consideration for the said agreement termination.

3.3.3.2 Disadvantages of not entering into the transaction

1. Loss of opportunity to become sole owner of the leased land

If the Company does not terminate the Management Agreement with Siam Prime, it will not be able to become sole owner of the leased land and will have no flexibility in management or determination of policy on such area management.

3.4 Advantages and disadvantages of entering into the transactions with a connected party compared with a third party, necessity of entering into the transactions with a connected party, and reasons for not entering into the transactions with a third party

The entry into the transaction under the Business Integration Plan by the Company with STB and SBF will bring about many benefits to the Company. It will enable the Company to diversify into a wider variety of property business and to promptly carry on a well-established hotel business, thereby helping to spread the downside risk. In addition, the Company will be prepared and have stronger competitiveness for business expansion in the future. In entering into the transaction, STB and SBF are not deemed a connected party of the Company. However, after completion of the entire business transfer of STB and SBF to the Company, the shareholders and/or management of STB and SBF shall have the right to nominate persons to serve as directors on a pro rata basis and/or as management of the Company. Therefore, the said transaction is considered as a connected transaction.

Page 91: Rasa Property Development Public Company Limited · Rasa Property Development Plc. Subject Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 89า 

Before entering into the transaction under the Business Integration Plan, the Company has not received any similar merger proposal or conditions from any other third party. Thus, it is not possible to compare this transaction with a transaction made with an outsider. Taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of the transaction, there will be more benefits than negative impacts to the Company. After all, the proposed transaction offers the best terms and conditions received by the Company for the time being.

The Land Sale Transaction, under which the Company will sell two plots of land to Khun Rapi who is the major shareholder and management of the Company, and the Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction with Siam Prime whose major shareholders are close relatives of the Company’s management are considered as connected transactions under the Connected Transaction Notifications. These two transactions are part of the terms and conditions agreed upon between the Company and the new shareholder group. The new shareholders do not wish to hold such two plots of land and have accordingly offered to sell the land to the existing shareholder of the Company. At the same time, since the Management Agreement on the plaza areas has been operated by a related person of the Company’s management, the new shareholders require that the said agreement be terminated so that the Company will acquire 100% ownership of the leased land and have power to control the operation of such areas independently and with more flexibility. Entering into these transactions is part of the terms and conditions to be complied with. Therefore, it is not possible to compare with transactions made with a third party.

3.5 Potential risks from entering into the transactions

3.5.1. Risk of failure to obtain approval for relisting on the SET

The implementation of the Business Integration Plan of the Company by acceptance of entire business transfer from STB and SBF has a transaction size equal to 760.95% and is accordingly considered an acquisition of assets Type 4, or backdoor listing. Therefore, the Company has duty to file a relisting application to the SET to approve the listing of ordinary shares of the Company as listed securities on the Exchange. In this respect, it has appointed Maybank Kim Eng Securities (Thailand) Plc. as financial advisor on such relisting application filing. Presently, the filing process is still underway. The relisting application is subject to approval from the SET.

Taking into account qualifications of the Company after the business transfer under the SET regulation Re: Acceptance of ordinary shares or preferred shares as listed securities B.E. 2554 (“Relisting Guideline”), it is found that the Company meets all qualifications pertaining to ordinary shares, paid-up capital, operating performance, management, financial status and liquidity, internal governance and control, financial statements and auditors, and provident fund. It will fail to meet only the free float requirement, stipulating that it must have minority shareholdings of not less than

Page 92: Rasa Property Development Public Company Limited · Rasa Property Development Plc. Subject Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 90า 

15% of paid-up registered capital, whereas after the entire business transfer its free float proportion will drop to 11.67%.

Nonetheless, according to such regulation of the SET, a company failing to meet the free float requirement is able to remedy its situation within two years (see more information in Item 3.5.2 Risk involved with qualifications for maintaining a listed company status).

3.5.2. Risk involved with qualifications for maintaining a listed company status

After entering into the transactions, the Company will have to increase its registered capital and allocate its newly issued shares on a private placement basis to Khun Santi and SPM, which are shareholders of STB and SBF, as payment in kind for the transfer of entire business to the Company. This will result in a drop in the Company’s free float proportion to 11.67% of its paid-up registered capital, which is below the minimum requirement of 15%. Besides, after such shares allocation to Khun Santi and SPM, both of them will be obligated to make a mandatory tender offer to purchase all shares of the Company from minority shareholders, which may cause a further drop in the free float ratio and could lead the Company to fail to meet the free float requirement. As such, the Company will still have to rectify the free float shortfall in order to qualify for maintaining its listed company status by making additional distribution of minority shareholdings to reach the 15% free float threshold.

The new major shareholder group, i.e. SPM and Khun Santi, expect to be able to meet the free float requirement within two years from the date the Company allocates its new shares to SPM and Khun Santi. However, given that the Company fails to satisfy such requirement within two years, it will be subject to an additional fee charged by the SET according to the amount or proportion of the free float shortfall and the number of years that the shortfall exists until such requirement is met. The said extra fee is in a range of 1% – 3.5%. After EBT and new shares allocation transaction, SPM and Khun Santi will hold 63.23% and 26.10% of the Company’s total paid-up and issued shares respectivedly. As a result, SPM and Khun Santi are obligated to make a mandatory tender offer (“MTO”); therefore, it is possible that the proportion of the free float shortfall will increase and the extra fee is equal or more than 2%.

3.5.3. Risk associated with room renovation and expansion of Santiburi Beach Resorts, Golf & Spa

Santiburi Beach Resorts, Golf & Spa, belonging to STB, plans to renovate some of its existing guestrooms and also increase the hotel rooms from 71 to 102 rooms in line with STB’s 2014 yearly business plan. Sale agents and tourists have been notified in advance of its plan to temporarily close the hotel for partial room renovation and new room construction between September and December 2014, which are the low season months. Under the said renovation plan, the hotel is expected to be reopened to service in January 2015.

Page 93: Rasa Property Development Public Company Limited · Rasa Property Development Plc. Subject Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 91า 

In order to implement the said partial room renovation and additional room construction plan, the hotel must first seek permission from concerned authorities. It also has to engage an architectural firm to undertake room designing, interior designing, and landscape architectural designing; an outside company to conduct an environmental impact assessment (EIA); and a contractor to construct the hotel rooms according to the agreed plan. Presently, STB has already hired an architectural company to provide services on room and interior designing and a specialist company to conduct a study on environmental impact, which is still underway. It is initially expected that an application for EIA approval can be filed in June 2014 and that such approval will be granted because STB’s hotel has, throughout the past operation of more than 20 years, never created any environment and water pollution problems. After obtaining the EIA approval and construction permission, the renovation and construction plan will start to be implemented. Construction is scheduled to begin in September 2014.

If the renovation and construction plan implementation is behind the schedule, the Company will lose revenues from the hotel business operation. Nonetheless, STB has had experience in its hotel renovation and could control and keep the renovation process on track. As specified in the construction service contract, any construction delay by the contractor itself will result in the contractor being fined according to the delayed work. The Company must, however, manage to control and ensure the construction is completed as scheduled since the hotel has already given a prior notice to tourists of the temporary close of the hotel for renovation during September-December 2014 and the reopening to service in January 2015. Thus, the hotel has to control and make sure the renovation is accomplished on schedule.

3.5.4. Risk incidental to a conflict of interest (Qualification for maintaining a listed company status)

After completion of all procedures for the above transactions according to the agreed terms and conditions, Khun Santi and SPM will be allocated newly issued ordinary shares of the Company and become the Company’s major shareholders. As a consequence, Khun Santi and SPM whose major shareholder is Boon Rawd Brewery Co., Ltd. (“Boon Rawd Group”) will have a conflict of interest with the Company. As a measure to prevent conflict of interest, after the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, scheduled for June 9, 2014, the Company will enter into an agreement with Khun Santi, SPM, Boon Rawd Group and affiliates, including authorized directors of SPM. Details of the said agreement are as follows:

Measures to prevent conflict of interest with Khun Santi and related persons:

1. As long as Khun Santi, his spouse, his minor, his person according to section 258, and his donee of power of attorney (“related persons”) who is the major shareholder and/or director and/or governor of the company giving the right (person giving right consisted of Khun Santi related persons and company as prescribed in a. and c. (Please see the detail on page no. 29 - 32)), still are the major shareholder of the Company (according to the definition of

SEC). Khun Santi and related persons whether by themselves or joint venture with other entity will not conduct the hotel or real estate business which may compete with the company; however, except for the Khun Santi or related person’s assets which not have opportunity to develop for the significant return in the future (“significant” is defined as assets or project which have value equal or more than 3 percent of Company net tangible assets) or assets which is not related to hotel or real estate business currently operate and is not significant or residual assets from completed project; and

2. Khun Santi and his related perons will enter into an agreement with the Company after the approval from general meeting of the shareholder approves the entry into the transaction, specifying therein that for the 3 years period after the entire business transfer and as long as Khun Santi and related person still are the major shareholder of the company or controlling periosn of Company, Khun Santi and related person will not transfer, sell their ordinary share, land or building under the company possession as prescribed in a. and c. (Please see the detail on page no. 29 - 32) to other persons and agree to grant an exclusive option to the Company to buy such ordinary shares, land or building atthe price that shall not exceed the fair value appraised by two independent appraisals(from the approved list of the SEC) appointed by Company and Khun Santi or related persons. After the 3 years period from the entire business transfer and as long as Khun Santi and related person still are the major shareholder of the company or controlling person of the Company, if Khun Santi have an intention to sell ordinary share, land or building under his possession to other person, Khun Santi agree to grant the right of first refusal to Company or subsidiary of Company with the same price offered to other person. In case that Company and /or subsidiary of Company reject to exercise the right, Khun Santi will have right to sell to other person at the price not lower than the price offer to Company; however, except for the assets that has insignificant value or residual from completed project.

After completion of the transaction, there will be certain companies as prescribed in a. and c. (Please see the detail on page no. 29 - 32) and certain assets held by Khun Santi or related persons which may create a conflict of interest with the Company. Therefore, the Company will proceed to enter into an agreement with persons and/or the said related companies. Khun Santi or related persons agrees to grant an option and right of first refusal to the Company for buy their assets in relation to hotels or real estate development projects which relate to the Company in terms of the location or management or joint venture and all real estate development projects of Khun Santi or related persons.

Measurement of Prevention of Conflict of Interest with Boon Rawd Group and affiliates, including authorized directors of SPM:

As long as Boonrawd group, SPM, Mr.Chayanin Thephakham, Mr. Jutinunt BhiromBhakdi, and Mr.Santi BhiromBhakdi (authorized director of SPM) including their spouse, minor, person according to section 258, and their attorney-in-fact (“related persons”) (all of them defined as

“promisors”), who is major shareholder and director of promisors, still are the major shareholder or controlling person of the Company, Boonrawd group or SPM or authorized director of SPM will not conduct whether by themselves or joint venture with other entity the hotel or real estate business which may compete with the company; however, except for the assets which not have opportunity to develop for the significant return in the future or assets which is not related to hotel or real estate business currently operate and is not significant or residual assets from completed project.

If there are land or real estate competing with the Company, promisors will consider to sell these to Company at the price that will not exceed the fair value appraised by two independent appraisals(from approved list of the SEC)t appointed by the Company and Khun Santi or Boonrawd Group, SPM, Mr.Chayanin, and Mr. Jutinunt including their spouse, minor, person according to section 258, and attorney-in-fact; however, except for the promisors’ assets which not have opportunity to develop for the significant return in the future or assets which is not related to hotel or real estate business currently operate and is not significant or residual assets from completed project. In the case where the Company agrees to exercise such right, the Company will comply with the laws and regulations in relation to the entry into a connected transaction.

After the transaction, the Company will earn income mainly from hotel and real estate development business and will focus on the hotel and real estate business which is in line with the experience of its new management team.

According to IFA opinion, the above measures are well served to prevent conflict of interest between the Company and Khun Santi including related persons and SPM Boon Rawd Group and affiliates including authorized directors of SPM

3.5.5 Risk from use of “Santiburi” trademark

STB’s Santiburi Beach Resorts, Golf & Spa, has been operated under “Santiburi” trademark, which belongs to Santiburi Private Community Co., Ltd., (“Santiburi Private”) of which Khun Santi is a major shareholder. Santiburi Private has granted right to Santiburi Beach Resorts, Golf & Spa, to use the trademark free of charge. After the merger, as long as Khun Santi still is a major shareholder or controlling perions in the Company, Khun Santi will grant option to the Company to use "Santiburi" trademark without any charges. However, if in the future the Company intends to continue to use the trademark for new hotel, Khun Santi may charge a trademark fee from the Company which will negotiate in the future. In the case that the Company has an intention to use “Santiburi” trademark for its new hotel or for other business, the Company will proceed according to Connected Transaction Notifications.

As a defensive measure to prevent confusion of “Santiburi” trademark used by Santiburi Beach Resort Golf and Spa and Santiburi Golf Club, the Company has planned to change the hotel name to Santiburi Beach Resort and Spa and put the name “hotel” in the trademark.

Page 94า 

3.5.6. Risk from future project investment by SBF’s subsidiaries

After the merger, the three subsidiaries of SBF will be transferred and become the Company’s subsidiaries. All of them plan to launch property projects in the future, including (1) SPD’s office building with commercial area project valued at approximately Baht 6,000 million, scheduled for start of construction in Q3/2015 and for completion in Q2/2018; (2) BRP’s serviced apartment and office building project, expected to begin construction in Q2/2015 and be completed in Q3/2017; and (3) MAX’s high-end housing estate with a total project value of Baht 3,200 million, planned to commence construction in Q4/2015 and be finished in Q3/2020. Currently, a study on commercial viability of these three projects is still underway.

If the Company has to proceed with development of the three projects, the Company and its subsidiaries will have to borrow loans from financial institutions to finance such property development. This will result in an increase in loans of the Company and its subsidiaries and likely cause the Company’s debt to equity ratio to edge up. A success in property development hinges on factors such as economic situation, real estate market condition and the public’s consumption. If these factors are unfavorable, they could have an adverse impact on project development by the Company, as well as its funding, liquidity, sales and profit.

3.6 Impacts on consolidated financial statements of the Company

To provide information for consideration of the Company’s performance and financial position in entering into the entire business transfer transaction from STB and SBF, the Company has prepared pro forma consolidated financial statements by consolidating the relevant financial information of the Company with those of SBF, which has three subsidiaries, namely SPD, BRP and MAX, and STB, in order to see the accounting impacts on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Assumptions for preparing the pro forma consolidated financial statements are as follows:

1. The pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared for the purpose of providing relevant consolidated financial information of the Company with SBF (which has three subsidiaries, namely SPD, BRP and MAX) and STB by assuming that the merger of the Company with STB and SBF had taken place since January 1, 2011.

2. The pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared by assuming that the following transactions had taken place since January 1, 2011: (a) the Company having a paid-up registered capital of 4,712,350,732 shares, with SPM and Khun Santi altogether holding 4,162,352,331 shares or 88.33% of total registered capital of the Company; (b) SBF having a paid-up registered capital of 42,350,000 shares each of Baht 100; and (c) SPD and MAX being merged into a newly established company in the name of SPD with a transfer of all assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity to SPD at the net book value.

3. The Company’s assets and liabilities were stated at book value, except costs of investment property development projects which were stated at fair value as at December 31, 2013.

Page 97: Rasa Property Development Public Company Limited · Rasa Property Development Plc. Subject Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 95า 

4. The Company recorded net assets and liabilities from the business transfer acceptance at fair value and also recorded goodwill.

5. Purchase of interest in joint venture projects was adjusted upwards from 70% to 100%.

Therefore, the IFA has compared the consolidated financial statements before the entry into such transaction with the pro forma consolidated financial statements after the transaction for the period ended December 31, 2013 for the shareholders’ information, details of which are as follows:

• Total assets Total assets surge from Baht 1,227.01 million to Baht 6,576.30 million, resulting from land held for development and investment property which includes three plots of land of SBF’s subsidiaries and hotel assets of STB.

• Total liabilities Total liabilities increase from Baht 491.38 million to Baht 757.31 million, arising from trade accounts payable, long-term loans from financial institutions and deferred tax liabilities.

• Shareholders’ equity Shareholders’ equity mounts from Baht 735.64 million to Baht 5,818.99 million, primarily stemming from an issuance of 4,162,352,331 new shares with a par value of Baht 1 per share for allocation at a price of Baht 1.87 per share as payment in kind for the transfer of entire business of STB and SBF.

• Total revenues Total revenues grow from Baht 478.54 million to Baht 752.31 million, resulting from revenues from services of Santiburi hotel which help to drive the Company’s profit up from Baht 23.63 million to Baht 48.66 million.

4. Fairness of prices and conditions for the transactions

4.1 Fairness of transaction prices

1. EBT and New Shares Allocation Transaction The Company will implement a plan on business integration with STB and SBF by way of entire

business transfer, and has thus resolved to increase its registered capital and allocate 4,162.35 million newly issued ordinary shares with a par value of Baht 1 per share on a private placement basis to SPM and Khun Santi at a price of Baht 1.87 per share as payment in kind for the transfer of entire business of STB and SBF to the Company. Therefore, the IFA has measured an appropriate value of the Company shares and value of SBF and STB by various approaches as a basis for determining fairness of the transaction price, details of which are as follows:

a) Valuation of Rasa Property Development Plc.

IFA has valued the Company’s shares by the following approaches as a basis for rendering opinion on fairness of the transaction price:

(1) Market price approach (2) Book value approach (3) Adjusted book value approach (4) Price-to-book value ratio approach (5) Price-to-earnings ratio approach (6) EV/EBITDA ratio approach (7) Discounted cash flow approach

Details of share valuation (1) Market price approach

By this approach, the shares are valued based on the weighted average market price of the Company’s shares traded on the Exchange in the past 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months up to the cut-off date of April 10, 2014 (one business day before the date on which the Company’s Board of Directors resolved to approve the EBT and New Shares Allocation Transaction). Details of the said share valuation are as follows:

Period

Market price (Baht/share) Avg. daily trading volume (shares)

Avg. daily trading volume as % of total number of paid-up

shares of the Company Highest Lowest

Weighted average

Average of past 1 month 2.09 1.77 2.02 4,639,851 0.84% Average of past 3 months 2.09 1.61 1.96 2,010,451 0.37% Average of past 6 months 2.09 1.17 1.69 4,786,575 0.87% Average of past 9 months 2.09 0.94 1.59 3,745,155 0.68% Average of past 12 months 2.09 0.94 1.59 4,410,862 0.80%

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 100า 

By the market price approach (weighted average), the Company’s shares are valued in a range of Baht 1.59 – 2.02 per share.

It is evident that the average trading volume of the Company’s shares during each time period of the share valuation (past 1-12 months) was in a range of 2.01 million – 4.79 million shares per day or 0.37% – 0.87% of the total number of paid-up shares of the Company, which represents a small turnover ratio. Market price is a price mechanism driven by demand and supply from investors for the Company’s shares, which could reflect the share value during such given period as well as reflect the fundamental factors and general investors’ demand with respect to the Company’s future potential and growth to a certain degree. However, considering such rather thin trading volume, the historical market price of the Company’s shares may not fairly reflect the true value or price of the shares.

(2) Book value approach

By this approach, the share value is appraised from the net book value of assets (total assets less total liabilities) or equal to shareholders’ equity, divided by total number of shares to derive a book value.

The share valuation, based on the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2013, can be concluded as follows:

Items Baht million

Paid-up registered capital as at Dec 31, 2013 - Ordinary shares 549.998 - Premium on share capital 23.478 Retained earnings (losses) 162.160 - Appropriated (legal reserve) 31.108 - Unappropriated 130.979 Shareholders’ equity 735.636

Number of ordinary shares as at Dec 31, 2013 (million shares) 549.998 Par value (Baht/share) 1.00 Book value (Baht/share) 1.34

The book value approach reflects the Company’s financial position as at December 31, 2013 only, but could not reflect the present market value of assets and the Company’s profitability in the future.

By this approach, the Company’s shares are valued at Baht 1.34 per share.

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 101า 

(3) Adjusted book value approach

By this approach, the shares are valued from total assets less total liabilities of the Company as of December 31, 2013, adjusted by commitments and contingent liabilities including a surplus/discount on market price of fixed assets as appraised by an independent valuer, then divided by total number of shares of the Company.

AAT appraised Intro Condominium at Baht 75,000 per square meter. Adjusted by certain

positive factors with an extra value of Baht 500/square meter/floor and an additional Baht 300/square meter for corner units, deducted by an operating fee at 10% of total revenues, the total appraisal price became Baht 121,000,000.

Opinion of the IFA

AAT appraised Intro Condominium units by the market value comparable approach through comparison with nearby condominiums which had an offering price at about the same period, taking into account factors such as location, area, building condition, room condition, position (floor), road width and facilities, including regulatory rules, notifications or laws restricting the use of properties. AAT made a market survey on three sets of data with offering prices ranging from Baht 85,000 to Baht 120,000 per square meter. Such offering prices were adjusted in order to reflect the present selling price or the expected price to be in a range of Baht 80,750-114,000 per square meter. The derived property value was analyzed by the Weighted Quality Score (WQS) method for quality scoring based on quality factors that could affect value, including location, area, building condition, room condition, position (floor), and facilities. After physical value adjustment based on the asset quality, the sale and purchase price was in a range of Baht 72,675 – 79,135 per square meter. From calculation based on relationship between the quality score and the sale and purchase price, the appraised market value of the condominium was equal to Baht 75,000 per square meter, with an extra increase of Baht 500 per square meter per floor for upper rooms and Baht 300 per square meter for corner room, together with an operating expense of 10% of total revenues. AAT then appraised the said condominium at a total value of Baht 121,000,000. In IFA’s opinion, the selling price used in the appraisal by AAT is different from the actual selling price set by the Company. Moreover, the said price was appraised in form of the project value that has not yet included income tax payable on profit from operation. Therefore, IFA views that the appraised price by AAT does not fairly reflect the true value of the Company’s shareholders’ equity.

total of Baht 266,000,000.

Opinion of the IFA

AAT appraised the remaining 139 units of townhouse in Rasa Maxx Ville Project by the income approach. Based on the assumptions for financial projection preparation, AAT appraised such property at Baht 266,000,000. However, IFA is of the opinion that the selling price adopted by AAT in the financial projection was derived from market prices of nearby properties and the appraised price is thus different from the actual selling price set by the Company. Moreover, the said price was appraised in form of the project value that has not yet included corporate income tax payable on profit from operation. Therefore, IFA views that the appraised price by AAT does not fairly reflect the true value of the Company’s shareholders’ equity.

AAT appraised the commercial areas of 3,493.60 square meters in Light House Plaza Project

at a total of Baht 181,000,000.

Opinion of the IFA

AAT appraised the commercial areas in The Light House Project by the income approach. Based on the assumptions for financial projection preparation, AAT appraised such property at Baht 181,000,000. However, IFA is of the opinion that the rental rate adopted by AAT in the financial projection was derived from market price which is different from the actual rental rate currently collected from the rentees. Since the rental agreements still take effect, the rental fees cannot be immediately revised up to the market rate. Moreover, the said price has not yet included corporate income tax payable on profit earned. Therefore, IFA views that the appraised price by AAT does not fairly reflect the true value of the Company’s shareholders’ equity.

AAT appraised the vacant land on Ram Inthra Road at Baht 95,000 per square wah or a total

of Baht 520,000,000.

Opinion of the IFA

AAT appraised the vacant land on Ram Inthra Road by the market value comparable approach through comparison with nearby plots of vacant land which had an offering price at about the same period, taking into account factors such as physical condition, location, area, land level, shape, front area, road width and facilities, including regulatory rules, notifications or laws restricting the use of properties. AAT made a market survey on three sets of data with offering prices ranging from Baht 90,000 to Baht 95,000 per square wah. Such offering prices were adjusted in order to reflect the present selling price or the expected price to be in a range of Baht 85,500-90,250 per square wah. The derived property value was analyzed by the Weighted Quality Score (WQS) method for quality scoring based on quality factors that could affect value, including location, area, land level, size, shape, road width and facilities. After physical value adjustment based on the asset quality, the sale and purchase price was in a range of Baht 94,050 – 99,275 per square wah. From calculation based on relationship between the quality score and the sale and purchase price, the appraised market value of the said land was equal to Baht 95,000 per square wah, or a total value of Baht 520,000,000. In IFA’s opinion, this is an appropriate method since it was a comparison with the properties of a similar nature and/or in nearby areas which have been sold/purchased or had an offering price. Moreover, it was compared and adjusted by quality score of the appraised property and the comparable properties based on factors such as location, physical condition of the area, shape of land, zoning, facilities, transportation, etc. Therefore, the appraised price is closest to the property’s current price and could reflect the property value under its present condition.

Opinion of the IFA

AAT appraised the vacant land on Watcharaphon Road by the market value comparable approach through comparison with nearby plots of vacant land which had an offering price at about the same period, taking into account factors such as physical condition, location, area, land level, shape, front area, road width, facilities and zoning, including regulatory rules, notifications or laws restricting the use of properties. AAT made a market survey on three sets of data with offering prices ranging from Baht 45,000 to Baht 70,000 per square wah. Such offering prices were adjusted in order to reflect the present selling price or the expected price to be in a range of Baht 42,750-63,000 per square wah. The derived property value was analyzed by the Weighted Quality Score (WQS) method for quality scoring based on quality factors that could affect value, including location, area, land level, size, shape, road width, facilities and zoning. After physical value adjustment based on the asset quality, the sale and purchase price was in a range of Baht 59,850 – 60,278 per square wah. From calculation based on relationship between the quality score and the sale and purchase price, the appraised market value of the said land was equal to Baht 60,000 per square wah, or a total value of Baht 36,600,000. In IFA’s opinion, this is an appropriate method since it was a comparison with the properties of a similar nature and/or in nearby areas which have been sold/purchased or had an offering price. Moreover, it was compared and adjusted by quality score of the appraised property and the comparable properties based on factors such as location, physical condition of the area, shape of land, zoning, facilities, transportation, etc. Therefore, the appraised price is closest to the property’s current price and could reflect the property value under its present condition.

Opinion of the IFA

AAT appraised the vacant land on Lam Luk Ka Road, Plot No. 1, by the market value comparable approach through comparison with nearby plots of vacant land which had an offering price at about the same period, taking into account factors such as physical condition, location, area, land level, shape, front area, road width, facilities and zoning, including regulatory rules, notifications or laws restricting the use of properties. AAT made a market survey on three sets of data with offering prices ranging from Baht 1,300,000 to Baht 3,300,000 per rai. Such offering prices were

adjusted in order to reflect the present selling price or the expected price to be in a range of Baht 1,170,000-3,300,000 per rai. The derived property value was analyzed by the Weighted Quality Score (WQS) method for quality scoring based on quality factors that could affect value, including location, area, land level, size, shape, road width, acess road, facilities and zoning. After physical value adjustment based on the asset quality, the sale and purchase price was in a range of Baht 1,296,000 – 1,345,000 per rai. From calculation based on relationship between the quality score and the sale and purchase price, the appraised market value of the said land was equal to Baht 1,300,000 per rai, or a total value of Baht 70,900,000.

AAT appraised the vacant land on Lam Luk Ka Road, Plot No. 2, by the market value comparable approach through comparison with nearby plots of vacant land which had an offering price at about the same period, taking into account factors such as physical condition, location, area, land level, shape, front area, road width, acess road, facilities and zoning, including regulatory rules, notifications or laws restricting the use of properties. AAT made a market survey on three sets of data with offering prices ranging from Baht 1,300,000 to Baht 1,700,000 per rai. Such offering prices were adjusted in order to reflect the present selling price or the expected price to be in a range of Baht 1,170,000-1,530,000 per rai. The derived property value was analyzed by the Weighted Quality Score (WQS) method for quality scoring based on quality factors that could affect value, including location, area, land level, size, shape, road width, acess road, facilities and zoning. After physical value adjustment based on the asset quality, the sale and purchase price was in a range of Baht 1,080,000 – 1,170,000 per rai. From calculation based on relationship between the quality score and the sale and purchase price, the appraised market value of the said land was equal to Baht 1,100,000 per rai, or a total value of Baht 98,100,000.

In IFA’s opinion, this is an appropriate method since it was a comparison with the properties of a similar nature and/or in nearby areas which have been sold/purchased or had an offering price. Moreover, it was compared and adjusted by quality score of the appraised property and the comparable properties based on factors such as location, physical condition of the area, shape of land, zoning, facilities, transportation, etc. Therefore, the appraised price is closest to the property’s current price and could reflect the property value under its present condition.

Opinion of the IFA

AAT appraised the vacant land in Don Mueang area by the market value comparable approach through comparison with nearby plots of vacant land which had an offering price at about the same period, taking into account factors such as physical condition, location, area, land level, shape, front area, road width, facilities and zoning, including regulatory rules, notifications or laws restricting the use of properties. AAT made a market survey on three sets of data with offering prices ranging from Baht 23,000 to Baht 35,000 per square wah. Such offering prices were adjusted in order to reflect the present selling price or the expected price to be in a range of Baht 20,700-31,500 per square wah. The derived property value was analyzed by the Weighted Quality Score (WQS) method for quality scoring based on quality factors that could affect value, including location, area, land level, size, shape, access road, facilities and zoning. After physical value adjustment based on the asset quality, the sale and purchase price was in a range of Baht 13,455 – 14,175 per square wah. From calculation based on relationship between the quality score and the sale and purchase price, the appraised market value of the said land was equal to Baht 14,000 per square wah, or a total value of Baht 189,000,000.

In IFA’s opinion, this is an appropriate method since it was a comparison with the properties of a similar nature and/or in nearby areas which have been sold/purchased or had an offering price. Moreover, it was compared and adjusted by quality score of the appraised property and the comparable properties based on factors such as location, physical condition of the location, area, shape of land, zoning, facilities, transportation, etc. Therefore, the appraised price is closest to the property’s current price and could reflect the property value under its present condition.

The IFA has then calculated the adjustment to the book value arising from the appraisal of assets as described above. The outcome is as follows:

Appraisal price of properties compared with their book value as at December 31, 2013:

(Unit: Baht million) Book value Appraisal value Surplus (Discount)

on book value 1. Intro Condominium – 23 units 90.57 121 30.43 2. Light House Plaza – 5,861.45 sq.m.* 94.34 126.7 32.36 3. Rasa Maxx Ville – 139 units of townhome 215.67 266 50.33 4.

Page 122า 

Note: * The Company owns 70% of total appraisal value of Baht 181 million in accordance with the joint venture agreement with Siam Prime Estate Co., Ltd., dated November 26, 2007. The IFA therefore adopts the appraisal price in proportion to the Company’s ownership.

Items Baht million

Total assets’ book value as at December 31, 2013 1,227.01 (Less) Total liabilities’ book value as at December 31, 2013 (491.38) Add: Surplus on asset appraisal 246.69 Add: Cash from sale of five townhouse units in Rasa Maxx Ville Project* 12.35

Net asset value after adjustment 994.67

Total number of issued and paid-up shares (million shares) 549.99

Adjusted book value of shares (Baht/share) 1.81 Note: * As at February 1, 2014, the appraisal date of Rasa Maxx Ville Project by AAT, the number of townhome units

was only 139, which was five units lower than the outstanding number of 144 units as of December 31, 2013 due to the sale and transfer of those units to buyers. In order that the data in the property appraisal report is equal to the book value as at December 31, 2013 for comparison purpose, the IFA has made adjustment by adding back revenue from sale of the five townhome units of Baht 12.35 million to the appraisal value.

By the adjusted book value approach, the Company’s shares are valued at Baht 1.81 per share.

The adjusted book value approach could reflect the net asset value better than the book value approach since the appraised book value derived from Item 1 is adjusted by value of land, buildings and equipment, and leasehold right to reflect the market price or fair price and then divided by number of shares.

Nonetheless, in the appraisal of the leased area of 3,493.60 square meters in The Light House Project, AAT, which is the Independent Valuer, appraised revenues from the project by using the market-based rental rates. The IFA is of the opinion that since the rental agreements between the rentees and the project owner still take effect, the rental fees cannot be immediately revised up to the market rate. Moreover, the appraisal of 23 units of Intro Condominium and 139 townhouse units of Rasa Maxx Ville by AAT did not include corporate income tax paid on profit from each project. Therefore, IFA views that the share valuation by this approach cannot genuinely reflect value of shareholders’ equity of the Company.

(4) Price-to-book value ratio approach

Under this approach, the shares are appraised from the Company’s book value as of December 31, 2013 derived from Item (2), equal to Baht 1.34 per share, multiplied by the average price to book value (P/BV) ratio of peer companies, which are the entities listed in the Stock Exchange of Thailand (“SET”)’s Property Development Sector and engaging in housing and condominium development for sale, with total asset size close to the Company’s, i.e. not exceeding

Here is the calculation formula for share valuation:

the Company’s share value = Avg. P/BV ratio of Peer Group × Book value of the Company as of December 31, 2013

Conclusion of the Company’s share valuation by P/BV ratio approach:

Past period P/BV of Peer Group

The price to book value ratio approach reflects the Company’s performance and financial position at a certain period of time through comparison with the average ratio of the Peer Group, but does not reflect the present market value of its assets, nor its future profitability.

By this approach, the Company’s shares are valued in a range of Baht 1.14 – 1.76 per share.

(5) Price-to-earnings ratio approach

By this approach, the shares are appraised from the Company’s earnings per share in 2013, which is Baht 0.042 per share (net profit in 2013 of Baht 23.13 million divided by 549.998 million shares), multiplied by the average P/E ratio of the Peer Group in the past 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months.

IFA adopts information of the nine peer companies listed in the SET’s Property Development Sector and engaging in housing and condominium development for sale, with total asset size close to the Company’s, i.e. not exceeding Baht 5,000 million, as described in Item (4) Price-to-book value ratio approach, for comparison in share valuation by this approach.

Here is the calculation formula for share valuation:

the Company’s share value = P/E ratio of Peer Group × EPS of the Company in past 12 months

Conclusion of the Company’s share valuation by P/E ratio approach:

Past period P/E of Peer Group

This price to earnings ratio approach focuses on the Company’s profitability in the past 12 months through comparison with the average ratio of the Peer Group, but takes no account of its long-term potential and profitability in the future. Besides, the comparison is made with the peer companies that are listed on a stock market and have a different financial structure from each other, resulting in variations on their performance and profitability. Therefore, this approach cannot fairly reflect the true value or price of the Company’s shares.

By this approach, the Company’s shares are valued in a range of Baht 0.42 – 0.68 per share.

(6) EV/EBITDA ratio approach

By this approach, the shares are appraised from the average EV/EBITDA of the Peer Group, multiplied by EBITDA of the Company less interest-bearing debts and minority interests and added by cash of the Company.

The Company’s EBITDA in 2013, as shown on its audited financial statements for 2013, amounted to Baht 62.11 million. As at December 31, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of Baht 13.97 million and loans of Baht 394.34 million. Based on these data, the Company’s shares are appraised as follows:

EV of the Company = Average EV/EBITDA of Peer Group × EBITDA Where: EV = Market cap + Minority interests +

Interest-bearing debts – Cash

Market cap = Share price × Total paid-up shares of the Company the Company’s share value = {(Average EV/EBITDA of Peer Group × EBITDA) – Minority

interests – Interest-bearing debts + Cash (incl. short-term investments)} / Total paid-up shares

IFA adopts information of the nine peer companies listed in the SET’s Property Development Sector and engaging in housing and condominium development for sale, with total asset size close to the Company’s, i.e. not exceeding Baht 5,000 million, as described in Item (4) Price-to-book value ratio approach, for comparison in share valuation by this approach.

The average EV/EBITDA ratio of the Peer Group in the past 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months up to the cut-off date of April 10, 2014 can be concluded as follows:

The EV/EBITDA ratio approach focuses on the Company’s profitability in the past 12 months, but takes no account of its potential and profitability in the future. Therefore, this approach cannot fairly reflect the true value of the Company.

By this approach, the Company’s shares are valued in a range of Baht 2.36 – 2.60 per share.

(7) Discounted cash flow approach

Share valuation by this approach is based on the Company’s future performance. The shares are appraised by an estimation of net present value of free cash flow expected from future operation according to a financial projection of the Company. The projection is under the assumption that the Company continues as a going concern without any material change taking place, and also based on the economic environment and present circumstances where the business operation is under oversight of the current management team, taking no account of business plan or any change that might be determined by the Company in the future.

The financial projection and assumptions are prepared by the IFA with an estimation of cash flow made based on the management’s forecast on future performance from the following three projects that have already been in operation:

1. Intro Condominium is a 37-storied condominium of 450 units, located on Pradiphat Road, Samsen Nai, Phayathai, Bangkok. Construction was completed and sales and transfers have been partly fulfilled. As at December 31, 2013, there were only 23 remaining units for sales.

2. Rasa Maxx Ville is a two-storied townhome project of 217 units, located on Soi Phahon Yothin 73, Sanam Bin, Don Mueang, Bangkok. Construction was completed and sales and transfers have been partly fulfilled. As at December 31, 2013, there were 144 remaining units for sales.

3. Light House Plaza is a commercial condominium of 5,861.45 square meters, with leasable space of 3,496.26 square meters, located in The Light House Project, Charoen Nakhon Road, Khlong Ton Sai, Khlong San, Bangkok. The project offers plaza areas for retail shop leasing.

1. Intro Condominium Project

Condominium units in this project have been mostly sold and transferred to buyers. As of December 31, 2013, there were only 23 remaining units with total area of 1,740.42 square meters. The selling price of each unit is as follows:

Room no. Area (sq.m.)

The Company’s management expects that the remaining Intro Condominium units will be sold and transferred completely by September 2014. Selling and transfer expenses are estimated at 6% of sales value. The total project cost is Baht 90,572,411.96. IFA has appraised Intro Condominium by estimation of cash flow receivable from the project operation, as follows:

Items Amount (Baht)

Total sales 122,228,944.00 (Less) Costs of sales (90,572,411.96) Operating costs (7,333,736.00) Profit 24,322,796.04 (Less) Corporate income tax (4,864,559.21) Net profit 19,458,236.83 Add Net working capital change 90,572,411.96 Project value 110,030,648.79

From the above cash flow estimation, Intro Condominium Project is valued at Baht 110,030,648.79.

2. Rasa Maxx Ville Townhome Project

This project features 217 units of two-storied townhome, having been gradually built and transferred to retail buyers. As at December 31, 2013, there were 73 units sold and transferred and 144 remaining units. Here are the key assumptions used for estimating the project value:

Revenues

The Company’s management expects to complete sales of the rest 144 units and close the project by Q1/2015, based on the following quarterly sales projection:

Particulars Q1/14 Q2/14 Q3/14 Q4/14 Q1/15 Total

In March 2014, the Company could sell and transfer another 20 units, while an additional 66 units were reserved and expected to be transferred in Q2 and Q3 of 2014. Thus, there are 58 units remaining.

Production costs and operating expenses Production costs, consisting of costs of land and construction, are assumed to be 67.45% of sales, based on the Company’s projection.

Marketing expenses Marketing expenses are estimated, based on the Company’s projection, at Baht 1,370,650 per quarter.

Operating expenses Operating expenses are set to be Baht 400,000 per month, according to the Company’s projection.

Expenses on contact with the authorities This item is estimated at Baht 5,000 per unit, based on the Company’s projection.

Specific business tax and transfer fee This item is set to be 4.3% of sales.

Based on the above assumptions for financial projection, IFA has estimated cash flow from the project operation to identify value of the project by an estimation of net present value of free cash flow from the projection, using the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), equal to 10.33%, as a discount rate. WACC is calculated with the following formula:

WACC = Ke(E/V) + Kd (1-t)(D/V) Ke = Cost of equity or shareholders’ required rate of return, equal to 12.84% Kd = Cost of debt or average loan interest rate of the Company, equal to 7.03% t = Corporate income tax of 20% E = Total shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2013 of Baht 735.64 million D = Interest-bearing debt as at December 31, 2013 of Baht 394.34 million V = D + E equal to Baht 1,129.98 million E/V = 65.10% D/V = 34.90%

Calculation of Ke:

Ke = Rf + β(Rm – Rf)

Where:

Risk free rate (Rf)

Risk free rate of return on investment as of April 10, 2014, equal to 4.25% per year, based on bid yield on government bond with maturity of 25 years, which is a period that could reflect investment condition in different time periods better than shorter-term data (source: www.thaibma.or.th)

Beta (β) A variance between market return and closing market price of the Company’s shares, which the IFA has derived from the Company’s average beta over the past three years as of April 10, 2014, equal to 0.902

Rm Average rate of return on the SET over the past 25 years (SET data from 1989 to 2013), equivalent to 13.79% per year

From the above assumptions, IFA could arrive at the project value of Baht 251.93 million, as shown in the table below:

3. Light House Plaza Project

This project offers a plaza space for rent in Light House Condominium covering a total area of 5,861.45 square meters with a leasable area of 3,496.26 square meters. The Company entered into the Management Agreement with Siam Prime Estate Co., Ltd. on November 26, 2007 on a 70:30 basis, which resulted in 70% of the ownership of land leased for commercial purpose belonging to the Company. On January 14, 2011, the Company executed a sub-lease agreement on Light House Plaza Project with Real Assets Co., Ltd. for a three-year term, which expired already. The Company intends to terminate the sub-lease agreement with Real Assets Co., Ltd. and to manage the area by itself. All 26 units of the said leased area have been fully occupied. Rental rates vary by location of the rented units.

(1) Revenues from services IFA has projected services income from the said leased plaza area by basing on the original rental agreements made with the rentees. It is specified in such rental agreements that rental and services fees can be increased by not exceeding 10% in a three-year period. Presently,

the average rental fee is equal to Baht 167.06 per square meter, with the average common service fee of Baht 167.06 per square meter and cooling service fee of Baht 150 per square meter, all being subject to a 10% increase every three years. Income from public utilities and parking services is estimated from fees in the 2013 base year, with a 3% yearly increase.

(2) Expenses and services Fee and services expenses consist of public utilities fees, personnel expenses, repair and maintenance costs, and other expenses. Since the areas have been fully rented out, there will unlikely be any incremental expenses that will have a material impact on this projection. Thus, IFA adopts the expenses in 2013 as the base year for the projection and assume these expenses will increase 3% per year.

(3) Common utilities expenses Common utilities expenses currently payable to the condominium juristic entity are Baht 169,414 per month and are expected to increase 3% every three years.

(4) Building tax

Building tax is set to be equal to 12.50% of 50% of space rental fee income throughout the projection period.

Based on the above assumptions for financial projection, IFA has estimated cash flow from the project operation to identify value of the project by an estimation of net present value of free cash flow from the projection, using the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), equal to 10.33%, as a discount rate. The total project value is estimated at Baht 137.65 million. After deduction by 30% belonging to Siam Prime according to the Management Agreement, the project value for the 70% ownership of the Company equals Baht 96.35 million. Details of such estimation are as follows:

Conclusion of the IFA’s opinion on valuation of the Company’s shares for share swap

The above valuation approaches have different strengths and weaknesses in identifying a fair value of the shares, as described below:

1) Market price approach: The trading volume of the Company’s shares in each period under this study was indicative of a somewhat low turnover ratio. Market price is a price mechanism driven by demand and supply from investors for the Company’s shares, which could reflect the share value during such given period as well as reflect the fundamental factors and general investors’ demand with respect to the Company’s future potential and growth to a certain degree. However, considering such rather thin trading volume, the historical market price of the Company’s shares may not fairly reflect the true value or price of the shares.

2) Book value approach: This approach reflects the Company’s financial position at a certain point in time and could also reflect its assets’ book value, but takes no account of the Company’s profitability and business performance in the future.

3) Adjusted book value approach: This approach could reflect the net asset value better than the book value approach since the appraised book value derived from Item 1 is adjusted by value of land, buildings and equipment, and leasehold right to reflect the market price or fair price and then divided by number of shares.

Nonetheless, in the appraisal of the leased area of 3,493.60 square meters in The Light House Project, AAT, which is the Independent Valuer, appraised revenues from the project by using the market-based rental rates. The IFA is of the opinion that since the rental agreements between the rentees and the project owner still take effect, the rental fees cannot be immediately revised up to the market rate. Moreover, the appraisal of 23 units of Intro Condominium and 139 townhouse units of Rasa Maxx Ville by AAT did not include corporate income tax paid on profit from each project. Therefore, IFA views that the share valuation by this approach cannot genuinely reflect value of shareholders’ equity of the Company.

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 136า 

4) Price-to-book value ratio approach: This approach reflects the Company’s financial position at a certain period of time through comparison with the average ratio of the Peer Group, but does not focus on the Company’s future profitability and performance.

5) Price-to-earnings ratio approach: This approach reflects the Company’s profitability through comparison with the average ratio of the Peer Group, but by basing on its historical profit only and taking no account of its profitability and performance in the future.

6) EV/EBITDA ratio approach: This approach focuses on the Company’s profitability in the past 12 months, but does not reflect its long-term future potential and profitability.

7) Discounted cash flow approach: This approach reflects the Company’s profitability and growth prospect based on the net present value of free cash flow expected from its future operation. Therefore, this approach can more accurately reflect the share value than all other approaches.

In IFA’s opinion, the discounted cash flow approach is the most suitable method for measuring a fair value of the Company’s shares. By this approach, the Company’s shares are valued at Baht 1.80 per share.

When comparing the appraised fair value of the Company’s shares with the offering price of its newly issued shares to be allocated to SPM and Khun Santi at Baht 1.87 per share, the said offering price is higher than the appraised value by the IFA of Baht 1.80 per share by Baht 0.07 per share or 3.89%.

Therefore, IFA is of the opinion that the offering price of the Company’s newly issued shares for allocation to SPM and Khun Santi at Baht 1.87 per share is a reasonable price.

b) Valuation of S Bright Future Co., Ltd. (SBF) IFA has measured a fair value of SBF shares by the following approaches as a basis for rendering

opinion on appropriateness of the transaction price.

(1) Market price approach (2) Book value approach (3) Adjusted book value approach (4) Price-to-book value ratio approach (5) Price-to-earnings ratio approach (6) EV/EBITDA ratio approach (7) Discounted cash flow approach Details of share valuation (1) Market price approach

Since SBF ordinary shares are not listed on the Exchange, no market price is available for comparison in this study. Thus, it is not possible to appraise SBF shares by this approach.

(2) Book value approach

By this approach, the share value is appraised from the net book value of assets (total assets less total liabilities) or equal to shareholders’ equity of SBF, divided by total number of shares to derive a book value of shares.

The data, based on SBF’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2013 (audited by Miss Amornrat Permwattanasuk, CPA Registration No. 4599, of PricewaterhouseCoopers ABAS Ltd., an SEC-approved auditor), can be concluded as follows:

Items Baht million

Paid-up registered capital as at Dec 31, 2013 - Ordinary shares 4,135.00 Retained earnings (losses) (0.44) Shareholders’ equity 4,134.56

Number of ordinary shares as at Dec 31, 2013 41,350,000 Par value (Baht/share) 100.00 Book value (Baht/share) 99.99

The book value approach reflects SBF’s financial position at a certain period of time, and also its assets’ book value, but takes no account of its profitability and business performance in the future.

By this approach, SBF shares are valued at Baht 99.99 per share.

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 138า 

(3) Adjusted book value approach

By this approach, the shares are valued from total assets less total liabilities of SBF as of December 31, 2013, adjusted by commitments and contingent liabilities including a surplus/discount on market price of fixed assets as appraised by an independent valuer, then divided by total number of shares of SBF.

SBF’s main business is to invest in property development entities. Its current core assets are investments in three subsidiaries: SPD, BRP and MAX. The IFA has thus appraised a business value of these three subsidiaries as a basis for further valuation of SBF, details of which are as follows:

1. Singha Property Development Co., Ltd. (SPD) SBF holds 99.99% of shares in SPD. Presently, SPD owns a major property which is a plot of

vacant land of 11 rai 1 ngan 24 square wah, located at the corner of New Phetchaburi – Asok Montri Intersection, Bang Kapi, Huai Khwang, Bangkok. No property project has yet been developed on such land. The IFA has accordingly applied the adjusted book value approach to appraise SPD’s value.

American Appraisal (Thailand) Ltd. (“AAT”), hired by the Company as an independent valuer, appraised the property of SPD at Baht 3,257 million. When compared with the book value of Baht 2,547.39 million, there is a surplus on the book value of Baht 709.61 million. Therefore, IFA has adjusted SPD share value by such appraisal price by AAT.

Opinion of the IFA

AAT appraised the vacant land at the corner of New Phetchaburi – Asok Montri Intersection by the market value comparable approach through comparison with nearby plots of vacant land which had an offering price at about the same period, taking into account factors such as physical condition, location, area, land level, shape, front area, road width, facilities, zoning and current/future use, including regulatory rules, notifications or laws restricting the use of properties. AAT made a market survey on three sets of data with offering prices ranging from Baht 500,000 to Baht 960,000 per square wah. Such offering prices were adjusted in order to reflect the present selling price or the expected price to be in a range of Baht 450,000-864,000 per square wah. The derived property value was analyzed by the Weighted Quality Score (WQS) method for quality scoring based on quality factors that could affect value, including location, area, land level, size, shape, facilities, zoning and current/future use. After physical value adjustment based on the asset quality, the sale and purchase price was in a range of Baht 697,500 – 734,400 per square wah. From calculation based on relationship between the quality score and the sale and purchase price, the appraised market value of the said land was equal to Baht 720,000 per square wah, or a total value of Baht 3,257,000,000.

In IFA’s opinion, the land valuation by the market value comparable approach is an appropriate method since it was a comparison with the properties of a similar nature and/or in nearby areas which have been sold/purchased or had an offering price. Moreover, it was compared and adjusted by quality score of the appraised property and the comparable properties based on factors such as location, physical condition of the area, shape of land, zoning, facilities, current/future use, etc. Therefore, the appraised price is closest to the property’s current price and could reflect the property value under its present condition.

Based on SPD’s financial statements as of December 31, 2013, audited by Miss Amornrat Permwattanasuk, CPA Registration No. 4599, of PricewaterhouseCoopers ABAS Ltd., adjustment is made to the book value as follows:

SPD share value, appraised by the adjusted book value approach above, is equal to Baht 3,257.20 million in total or Baht 127.13 per share.

2. Bhiromphat Co., Ltd. (BRP) SBF holds 99.99% of shares in BRP. Presently, BRP owns a plot of land with construction,

covering a total area of 2 rai 48 square wah located on Asok Montri Road (Soi Sukhumvit 21), Khlong Toei Nua, Watthana, Bangkok. BRP has leased the original building thereon to a private lessee to open a restaurant. It has an intention to develop and construct a new property on such land, but has not yet taken any action. The IFA has therefore applied the adjusted book value approach to appraise BRP’s value.

American Appraisal (Thailand) Ltd. (“AAT”), hired by the Company as an independent valuer, appraised the property of BRP at Baht 721 million. When compared with the value shown on its financial statements of Baht 80.07 million, there is a surplus on the book value of Baht 640.93 million. Therefore, IFA has adjusted BRP’s value by such appraisal price by AAT.

AAT appraised the vacant land on Asok Montri Road at Baht 850,000 per square wah or a total

of Baht 721,000,000. Opinion of the IFA

AAT appraised the vacant land on Asok Montri Road by the market value comparable approach through comparison with nearby plots of vacant land which had an offering price at about the same period, taking into account factors such as physical condition, location, area, land level, shape, front area, road width, facilities, zoning and current/future use, including regulatory rules, notifications or laws restricting the use of properties. AAT made a market survey on three sets of data with offering prices ranging from Baht 650,000 to Baht 1,100,000 per square wah. Such offering prices were adjusted in order to reflect the present selling price or the expected price to be in a range of Baht 585,000-990,000 per square wah. The derived property value was analyzed by the Weighted Quality Score (WQS) method for quality scoring based on quality factors that could affect value, including location, area, land level, size, shape, facilities, zoning and current/future use. After physical value adjustment based on the asset quality, the sale and purchase price was in a range of Baht 819,000,000 – 891,000,000 per square wah. From calculation based on relationship between the quality score and the sale and purchase price, the appraised market value of the said land was equal to Baht 850,000 per square wah, or a total value of Baht 721,000,000.

In IFA’s opinion, the land valuation by the market value comparable approach is an appropriate method since it was a comparison with the properties of a similar nature and/or in nearby areas which have been sold/purchased or had an offering price. Moreover, it was compared and adjusted by quality score of the appraised property and the comparable properties based on factors such as location, physical condition of the area, shape of land, zoning, facilities,

current/future use, etc. Therefore, the appraised price is closest to the property’s current price and could reflect the property value under its present condition.

Based on BRP’s financial statements as of December 31, 2013, audited by Miss Amornrat Permwattanasuk, CPA Registration No. 4599, of PricewaterhouseCoopers ABAS Ltd., adjustment is made to the book value as follows:

Items Baht million

Total assets 83.67 (Less) Total liabilities (18.30) Add Revaluation surplus on book value of land 640.93

Net asset value after adjustment 706.30

Total number of issued and paid-up shares (shares) 73,000

Share value by adjusted book value approach (Baht/share) 9,675.34

BRP share value, appraised by the adjusted book value approach above, is equal to Baht 706.30 million in total or Baht 9,675.34 per share.

3. Max Future Co., Ltd. (MAX) Currently, MAX has not yet generated any income from business operation. Its main asset is a

plot of vacant land of 30 rai 2 ngan 10 square wah, located on Pradit Manutham Road, Khlong Kum, Bung Kum, Bangkok. MAX has an idea to develop a project on such land, but has not yet taken any action. The IFA has therefore applied the adjusted book value approach to appraise MAX’s value.

American Appraisal (Thailand) Ltd. (“AAT”), hired by the Company as an independent valuer, appraised the property of MAX at Baht 1,221 million. When compared with the value shown on its financial statements of Baht 1,097.58 million, there is a surplus on the book value of Baht 123.42 million. Therefore, IFA has adjusted MAX’s value by such appraisal price by AAT.

notifications or laws restricting the use of properties. AAT made a market survey on three sets of data with offering prices ranging from Baht 88,000 to Baht 120,000 per square wah. Such offering prices were adjusted in order to reflect the present selling price or the expected price to be in a range of Baht 83,600-114,000 per square wah. The derived property value was analyzed by the Weighted Quality Score (WQS) method for quality scoring based on quality factors that could affect value, including location, area, land level, size, shape, facilities, road width, zoning and current/future use. After physical value adjustment based on the asset quality, the sale and purchase price was in a range of Baht 95,304 – 102,600 per square wah. From calculation based on relationship between the quality score and the sale and purchase price, the appraised market value of the said land was equal to Baht 100,000 per square wah, or a total value of Baht 1,221,000,000.

In IFA’s opinion, the land valuation by the market value comparable approach is an appropriate method since it was a comparison with the properties of a similar nature and/or in nearby areas which have been sold/purchased or had an offering price. Moreover, it was compared and adjusted by quality score of the appraised property and the comparable properties based on factors such as location, physical condition of the area, shape of land, zoning, facilities, current/future use, etc. Therefore, the appraised price is closest to the property’s current price and could reflect the property value under its present condition.

Based on MAX’s financial statements as of December 31, 2013, audited by Miss Amornrat Permwattanasuk, CPA Registration No. 4599, of PricewaterhouseCoopers ABAS Ltd., adjustment is made to the book value as follows:

Items Baht million

Total assets 1,500.41 (Less) Total liabilities (0.21) Add Revaluation surplus on book value of land 123.42

Net asset value after adjustment 1,623.62

Total number of issued and paid-up shares (million shares) 15.00

Share value by adjusted book value approach (Baht/share) 108.24

MAX share value, appraised by the adjusted book value approach above, is equal to Baht 1,623.62 million in total or Baht 108.24 per share.

Since SBF has not operated any business other than investments in the three subsidiaries above, the IFA has therefore applied the adjusted book value approach to appraise SBF’s value by.

Based on SBF’s financial statements as of December 31, 2013, audited by Miss Amornrat Permwattanasuk, CPA Registration No. 4599, of PricewaterhouseCoopers ABAS Ltd., adjustment is made to the book value as follows:

Net asset value after adjustment 5,586.70

Total number of issued and paid-up shares (million shares) 41.35

Share value by adjusted book value approach (Baht/share) 135.11

By this approach, SBF shares are valued at Baht 135.11 per share or a total of Baht 5,586.70 million.

(4) Price-to-book value ratio approach

SBF has had only investments in three subsidiaries and all of them have not yet generated any revenues from business operation but hold vacant land for future development. Therefore, none of them have yet shown any business performance. It is not possible to find any comparable SET-listed entities as reference for share valuation. The IFA accordingly has not appraised SBF shares by this approach.

(5) Price-to-earnings ratio approach

SBF has had only investments in three subsidiaries and all of them have not yet generated any revenues from business operation but hold vacant land with plans for future development. Therefore, the IFA has not appraised SBF shares by this approach.

(6) EV/EBITDA ratio approach

SBF has had only investments in three subsidiaries and all of them have not yet generated any revenues from business operation but hold vacant land with plans for future development. Therefore, the IFA has not appraised SBF shares by this approach.

(7) Discounted cash flow approach

SBF has had only investments in three subsidiaries and all of them have not yet generated any revenues from business operation but hold vacant land with plans for future development. Therefore, the IFA cannot establish appropriate assumptions to be used for estimating net present value of free cash flow and is unable to measure a fair value of SBF shares by this approach.

Conclusion of the IFA’s opinion on the valuation of SBF

In IFA’s opinion, the adjusted book value approach is the most suitable method for measuring a fair value of SBF because it can genuinely reflect value of SBF which currently holds land for future development. Such land was appraised by an independent valuer. Thus, it can best reflect value of SBF when compared with all other approaches. By this approach, SBF’s value is appraised at Baht 5,586.70 million.

SPM has determined the value of SBF for share swap at Baht 5,483.60 million, which is lower than the appraised value by the IFA of Baht 5,586.70 million by Baht 103.1 million or by 1.85%. Therefore, IFA is of the opinion that the acquisition price of SBF of Baht 5,483.60 million is a reasonable price.

c) Valuation of Santiburi Co., Ltd. STB operates a hotel and food services business in the name, ‘Santiburi Beach Resorts, Golf &

Spa,’ which was opened to service in 1990. Located at No. 12/12 Moo 1, Rop Ko Road, Mae Nam Sub-district, Ko Samui District, Surat Thani Province, it is a five-star hotel on a land area of 56 rai 3 ngan 93.7 square wah, featuring two hotel buildings with a total of 71 rooms divided into 12 standard rooms and 59 villa-type rooms. STB has a plan to expand the number of rooms from 71 to 102 rooms and to refurbish all existing rooms, except for 14 rooms that were already renovated in 2013. The hotel will be closed for this purpose during September-November 2014. The new room construction and existing room renovation is scheduled for completion and re-opening to service by the end of 2014.

IFA has valued STB shares by the following approaches as a basis for rendering opinion on fairness of the transaction price:

(1) Market price approach (2) Book value approach (3) Adjusted book value approach (4) Price-to-book value ratio approach (5) Price-to-earnings ratio approach (6) EV/EBITDA ratio approach (7) Discounted cash flow approach

Details of share valuation

(1) Market price approach Since STB shares are not listed on the Exchange, no market price is available for comparison

in this study. Thus, it is not possible to appraise STB shares by this approach.

(2) Book value approach

By this approach, the share value is appraised from the net book value of assets (total assets less total liabilities) or equal to shareholders’ equity of STB, divided by total number of shares to derive a book value of shares.

The data, based on STB’s financial statements as of December 31, 2013 audited by Miss Amornrat Permwattanasuk, CPA Registration No. 4599, of PricewaterhouseCoopers ABAS Ltd., an SEC-approved auditor, can be concluded as follows:

Number of ordinary shares as at Dec 31, 2013 1,000,000 Par value (Baht/share) 10.00 Book value (Baht/share) 680.61

The book value approach reflects STB’s financial position as at December 31, 2013 only, taking into account the financial status at a certain point in time as well as the assets’ book value, but does not reflect the assets’ present market value, nor the profitability of STB in the future.

By this approach, STB shares are valued at Baht 680.61 per share or a total of Baht 680.61 million.

(3) Adjusted book value approach

By this approach, the shares are valued from total assets less total liabilities of STB as of December 31, 2013, adjusted by commitments and contingent liabilities including a surplus/discount on market price of fixed assets as appraised by an independent valuer, then divided by total number of shares of STB.

Appraisal of properties

American Appraisal (Thailand) Ltd. (“AAT”), hired by the Company as an independent valuer, appraised the land and construction of STB at Baht 2,608 million. When compared with the book value of Baht 457.44 million, there is a surplus on the book value of Baht 2,150.56 million. Therefore, IFA has adjusted STB share value by such appraisal price by AAT.

AAT appraised Santiburi Beach Resorts, Golf & Spa at Baht 2,608,000,000.

Opinion of the IFA

AAT appraised Santiburi Beach Resorts, Golf & Spa, by the income approach. Under a set of assumptions for financial projection preparation, AAT appraised the said hotel at Baht 2,608,000,000. In IFA’s opinion, the appraisal of STB’s land and construction by AAT was based solely on future operation, taking no account of value of STB shareholders’ equity since it has not yet included calculation of corporate income tax on profit from operation, nor calculation of borrowing by STB. Therefore, IFA views that the appraisal by this approach may not fairly reflect the true value of STB shareholders’ equity.

Based on STB’s financial statements as of December 31, 2013 audited by Miss Amornrat Permwattanasuk, CPA Registration No. 4599, of PricewaterhouseCoopers ABAS Ltd., an SEC-approved auditor, adjustments have been made as follows:

The adjusted book value approach can reflect the net asset value better than the book value

approach. AAT, the Independent Valuer, appraised the said property by the income approach, which focuses on future business performance and profitability.

However, the appraisal of STB’s land and construction by AAT was based solely on future operation, taking no account of value of STB shareholders’ equity since it has not yet included calculation of corporate income tax on profit from operation, nor calculation of borrowing by STB. Therefore, IFA views that the valuation by this approach may not fairly reflect the true value of STB shareholders’ equity.

By the adjusted book value approach, STB shares are valued at Baht 2,831.17 per share.

(4) Price-to-book value ratio approach

Under this approach, the shares are appraised from STB’s book value as of December 31, 2013 derived from Item (2), equal to Baht 680.61 per share, multiplied by the average price to book value (P/BV) ratio of peer companies, which are the entities listed in the Stock Exchange of Thailand (“SET”)’s Tourism & Leisure Sector and engaging in hotel business. Since none of the listed companies in this sector have nature of business similar to STB, i.e. operating only one hotel in the province, IFA has thus based IFA’s analysis on all entities in this sector of the SET. There are 10 peer companies for this study (“Peer Group”), as follows:

Note: Unlike the Peer Group, STB is not listed on the SET and, thus, its shares have no trading liquidity. The IFA accordingly discounts the share value measured by the market comparable approach by 15%. Such discount rate is based on the discount rate applicable in valuation of IPO shares that are generally discounted by 10%-15% when compared with the securities that are listed on the stock market.

This approach reflects STB’s performance and financial position at a certain period of time, but does not reflect the present market value of its assets, nor its future profitability.

Under this approach, STB shares are valued in a range of Baht 1,082.71 – 1,170.65 per share. Thus, the acquisition of 1,000,000 shares in STB is valued at a total of Baht 1,082.71 million – Baht 1,170.65 million.

Since STB shares are not listed on the SET and, therefore, do not have trading liquidity, IFA has accordingly discounted the appraised share value by 15%. After such discount, the value of STB shares will be in a range of Baht 919.84 – 995.05 per share, or a total value of Baht 919.84 million - Baht 995.05 million.

The P/BV ratio approach focuses on STB’s financial position at a certain point in time in comparison with the average of such ratios of the Peer Group, but takes no account of future profitability and performance of STB.

(5) Price-to-earnings ratio approach

By this approach, the shares are appraised from STB’s earnings per share in 2013, which is Baht 36.03 per share (net profit in 2013 of Baht 36.03 million divided by 1,000,000 shares), multiplied by the average P/E ratio of the Peer Group in the past 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months.

IFA adopts the average P/E ratio of the 10 peer companies engaging in hotel business and listed in the SET’s Tourism & Leisure Sector, as described in Item 4 Price-to-Book Value Ratio Approach, for comparison in share valuation by this approach.

This approach focuses on STB’s profitability in the past 12 months, but takes no account of its

long-term potential and profitability in the future. Besides, the comparison is made with the peer companies that are listed on the stock market and have a different financial structure from each other, resulting in variations on their performance and profitability. Therefore, this approach cannot fairly reflect the true value or price of STB shares.

Under this approach, STB shares are valued in a range of Baht 647.10 – 827.25 per share. Thus, the acquisition of shares in STB is valued at a total of Baht 647.10 million – Baht 827.25 million.

Since STB shares are not listed on the SET and, therefore, do not have trading liquidity, IFA has accordingly discounted the appraised share value by 15%. After such discount, the value of STB shares will be in a range of Baht 550.04 – 703.16 per share, or a total value of Baht 550.04 million - Baht 703.16 million.

The P/E ratio approach focuses on STB’s profitability by comparison with the average of such ratios of the Peer Group; though, the valuation is based on earnings in the past period only, without reflecting its profitability and performance in the future.

(6) EV/EBITDA ratio approach

By this approach, the shares are appraised from the average EV/EBITDA of the Peer Group, multiplied by EBITDA of STB less interest-bearing debts and minority interests and added by cash of STB.

STB’s EBITDA in 2013, as shown on its audited financial statements for 2013, amounted to Baht 70.67 million. As at December 31, 2013, STB had cash and cash equivalents of Baht 239.03 million and loans of Baht 57.66 million. Based on these data, STB shares are appraised as follows:

EV of STB = Average EV/EBITDA of Peer Group × EBITDA Where: EV = Market cap + Minority interests + Interest-bearing debts – Cash Market cap = Share price × Total number of paid-up shares of STB STB share value = {(Average EV/EBITDA of Peer Group × EBITDA) – Minority

interests – Interest-bearing debts + Cash (incl. short-term investments)} / Total number of paid-up shares

IFA adopts information of the 10 peer companies listed in the SET’s Tourism & Leisure Sector and engaging in hotel business, as described in Item (4) Price-to-book value ratio approach, for comparison in share valuation by this approach.

The average EV/EBITDA ratio of the Peer Group in the past 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months up to the cut-off date of April 10, 2014 can be concluded as follows:

The EV/EBITDA ratio approach focuses on STB’s profitability in the past 12 months, but takes no account of its potential and profitability in the future. Therefore, this approach cannot fairly reflect the true value of the shares.

Under this approach, STB shares are valued in a range of Baht 790.55 – 812.45 per share. Thus, the acquisition of shares in STB is valued at a total of Baht 790.55 million – Baht 812.45 million.

Since STB shares are not listed on the SET and, therefore, do not have trading liquidity, IFA has accordingly discounted the appraised share value by 15%. Such discount rate is based on the

Page 162: Rasa Property Development Public Company Limited · Rasa Property Development Plc. Subject Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 160า 

discount rate applicable in valuation of IPO shares that are generally discounted by 10% – 15% when compared with the securities that are listed on the stock market. After such discount, the value of STB shares will be in a range of Baht 671.97 – 690.58 per share, or a total value of Baht 671.97 million - Baht 690.58 million.

The EV/EBITDA ratio approach focuses on STB’s profitability by comparison with the average of such ratios of the Peer Group; though, the valuation is based on earnings in the past period only, without reflecting its profitability and performance in the future.

(7) Discounted cash flow approach

Share valuation by this approach is based on STB’s future performance. The shares are appraised by an estimation of net present value of free cash flow expected from future operation according to a financial projection of STB. The projection is under the assumption that STB continues as a going concern without any material change taking place, and also based on the economic environment and present circumstances where the business operation is under oversight of the current management team, taking no account of business plan or any change that might be determined by STB in the future.

The projection of cash flow from STB’s operation has been prepared by the IFA based on historical data and STB management’s forecast. IFA has identified the possibility of all assumptions according to information obtained from STB and from interviews or enquiries with its management, including analysis of other hotel-related data, and has made adjustments to some items in order to reflect market condition and competition, as well as related industry situation and overall economy. The said financial projection and assumptions are established under the present economic environment and based on the information prevailing at the time of conducting this study. If the economic condition or other external factors cause a material change in STB’s operation from the assumptions, the project value measured by this approach and the IFA’s opinion rendered herein will change accordingly.

The key assumptions used for the financial projection are as follows:

1. Revenues from hotel operation

Revenues from hotel operation consist of room revenues, revenues from food and beverages, revenues from spa and other revenues, details of which are as follows:

Room revenues

Santiburi Hotel currently offers a total of 71 guestrooms, as follows:

Pool Villa 23,130 - 28,130 4 95

Presidential Retreat 56,250 - 61,250 2 146

Total 71 846

STB plans to increase number of rooms by another 31 rooms, of which 23 rooms are of

Family Villa type, six are of Spa Villa type and two will be modified from spa rooms into Spa Villas. Thus, the total number of hotel rooms will be expanded to 102 rooms. At the same time, some of the existing rooms and hotel service areas will be renovated. The said room expansion and renovation are expected to be completed by the end of 2014, involving an estimated investment cost of Baht 280 million.

STB has already commenced the partial renovation work and has commissioned the following companies to undertake pre-construction works for room expansion:

− Thai-Thai Engineering Co., Ltd. to prepare an EIA report in accordance with notifications of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment;

− P49 Design and Associates Co., Ltd. to design villa-type rooms, bar and main building;

− Open Design Co., Ltd. to design sports building and villa building; and

− Landscape Architects of Bangkok Co., Ltd. to conduct landscape architectural design of the hotel.

Occupancy rate

The average occupancy rate in 2010-2013 was 77.36%, 72.76%, 82.06% and 79.11% respectively. For this financial projection, it is assumed that the hotel will be closed for the old building renovation and the new room construction in September-November 2014, which are low-season months and, thus, are expected not to significantly affect STB’s revenues. The

Page 164: Rasa Property Development Public Company Limited · Rasa Property Development Plc. Subject Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 162า 

average occupancy rate is projected at 79.19% for 2014, based on the management’s forecast, and at 80%, 81%, 82% and 80% in 2015-2018 respectively.

Average room rate per night Average room rate in 2010-2013 stood at Baht 8,025, Baht 8,866, Baht 9,305 and Baht

10,002 respectively, increasing y-o-y by 10.48%, 4.95% and 7.49% respectively or representing an average growth rate in 2010-2013 of 7.64%. For 2014, the average room rate is projected to grow by 7.64%. For 2015, after completion of room renovation and new room construction, the average room rate for the renovated rooms is projected to increase by 7.64%, whereas the average room rate for 31 newly built rooms is set to be Baht 14,000. The average room rate for all rooms is estimated to grow by 5% in 2016 and then by 3% for 2017-2018.

Note: * Number of rooms available for service in a year is number of available rooms multiplied by number of days in a year.

Revenues from food and beverages

In 2010-2013, revenues from food and beverages were Baht 61.26 million, Baht 57.0 million, Baht 63.74 million and Baht 57.51 million respectively, representing 37.99%, 35.32%, 33.15% and 31.01% of room revenues over the same period or an average of 34.37% of room revenues for 2010-2013. Thus, revenues from food and beverages are forecast to be 34.37% of room revenues from 2014 onwards.

Revenues from other services

Revenues from other services include revenues from spa, telephone service, laundry service, etc. In 2010-2013, revenues from other services amounted to Baht 12.04 million, Baht 12.14 million, Baht 12.61 million and Baht 12.20 million respectively, making up 7.49%, 7.52%, 6.56% and 6.58% of room revenues over the same period or an average of 7.04% of room revenues in 2010-2013. Revenues from other services from 2014 onwards are therefore estimated to be 7.04% of room revenues.

2. Costs of services

Costs of room services Costs of room services are mainly composed of personnel expenses and other

expenses such as laundry, cleaning, etc.

Salary and personnel-related expenses in 2010-2013 totaled Baht 8.34 million, Baht 9.3 million, Baht 10.75 million and Baht 12.75 million respectively. IFA assumes that salary expenses will increase 5% y-o-y in 2014 and then by 40% in 2015 in line with the opening of 31 new rooms which account for about 40% of total number of rooms. After that, salary expenses are projected to increase 5% per year, based on the average pay increase rate in general.

Other room-related expenses were Baht 18.06 million, Baht 16.98 million, Baht 9.85 million and Baht 11.98 million in 2010-2013 respectively, representing 11.24%, 10.52%, 5.12% and 6.46% of room revenues over the same period or an average of 8.34% of room revenues in 2010-2013. Thus, other room-related expenses are estimated to be 8.34% of room revenues from 2014 onwards.

Costs of food and beverages

Costs of food and beverages primarily include costs of food and beverages, personnel expenses and other expenses.

Costs of food and beverages in 2010-2013 were Baht 17.68 million, Baht 18.14 million, Baht 18.71 million and Baht 16.48 million respectively, constituting 28.98%, 31.83%, 29.35%

and 28.66% of revenues from food and beverages over the same period or an average for 2010-2013 of 29.70%. Thus, costs of food and beverages are projected at 29.70% of revenues from food and beverages from 2014 onwards.

Salary and personnel-related expenses totaled Baht 13.07 million, Baht 13.99 million, Baht 13.47 million and Baht 16.0 million in 2010-2013 respectively. IFA assumes that salary expenses will rise by 5% per year in 2014-2018, based on the average pay increase rate in general.

Other expenses in 2010-2013 were equal to Baht 8.83 million, Baht 7.80 million, Baht 4.26 million and Baht 5.04 million respectively, making up 14.47%, 13.68%, 6.69% and 8.76% of revenues from food and beverages over the same period or an average of 10.90% for 2010-2013. Therefore, other food and beverages expenses are estimated to be 10.90% of revenues from food and beverages from 2014 onwards.

Costs of other services (spa, telephone and boutique shop) and costs of guest activities

Costs of other services consist of service costs, personnel expenses and other expenses.

Costs of spa, telephone service and boutique shop from 2014 onwards are projected to be equal to the average of such costs in 2010-2013, i.e. cost of spa at 5.26% of spa revenues, cost of telephone service at 15.55% of telephone service revenues, and cost of boutique shop at 19.29% of revenues from boutique shop.

Salary and personnel-related expenses were Baht 4.28 million, Baht 4.40 million, Baht 4.92 million and Baht 6.18 million in 2010-2013 respectively. IFA assumes that salary expenses will rise by 5% per year in 2014-2018, in line with the average pay increase rate in general.

Other expenses amounted to Baht 2.05 million, Baht 2.77 million, Baht 1.93 million and Baht 1.82 million in 2010-2013 respectively, representing 17.05%, 22.85%, 15.27% and 15.43% of revenues from other services over the same period or an average of 17.66% for 2010-2013. Other expenses are therefore projected at 17.66% of revenues from other services from 2014 onwards.

3. Operating expenses and other expenses

Operating expenses are composed of administrative expenses, selling expenses, and utilities and repair & maintenance expenses.

Personnel-related expenses In 2010-2013, personnel-related expenses were Baht 25.37 million, Baht 27.25 million,

Baht 26.61 million and Baht 30.80 million respectively. Therefore, IFA assumes personnel-related expenses for 2014 to increase by 5%. Despite an increase in hotel rooms in 2015, the management will maintain the unchanged number of workforce.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses, comprising administrative expenses, selling expenses, and repair and maintenance expenses, amounted to Baht 53.12 million, Baht 45.71 million, Baht 39.65 million and Baht 42.94 million in 2010-2013 respectively, a y-o-y increase (decrease) of (13.95)%, (13.25)% and 8.28% or representing an average decrease rate of (6.31)% per year for 2010-2013. Nonetheless, for conservative projection, IFA assumes other operating expenses to increase 5% per year during 2014-2018.

Other expenses

Insurance premiums are set to increase 5% per year throughout the projection period. However, in 2015 only, insurance premiums will increase 40% in proportion to the increased number of hotel rooms.

Building tax and others are projected at 1.1% of total revenues, based on the management’s forecast.

4. Capital expenditure

STB has devised a plan to renovate its hotel and construct 31 additional rooms through two phases of investment. Phase 1 involves an investment cost of Baht 201.52 million for renovation of existing rooms and improvement of electricity and water supply systems. Partial renovation was made in 2013 at a cost of Baht 57.66 million, with remaining capital expenditure for 2014 of Baht 143.86 million. Phase 2, investment in new room construction and existing room renovation at an estimated cost of Baht 280 million, will begin after completion of Phase 1 or is scheduled for September-November 2014. STB will temporarily close the hotel and accelerate the construction, expected to be fully completed by the end of 2014.

Repair and maintenance costs and capital expenditure are estimated at 3% of total revenues, based on the management’s forecast.

Depreciation of the above assets is projected by straight line method according to the estimated useful life of 10 years for building improvements and 20 years for the newly constructed building.

5. Income tax

Corporate income tax for 2014-2018 is estimated at 20% of pre-tax profit. In any year that STB incurs a net loss, it will be able to claim the benefit of loss carry forward for not more than five accounting years.

6. Terminal value

Terminal growth is assumed to be 1% per year.

Based on the above assumptions for financial projection, IFA has estimated cash flow from the project operation to identify value of the project by an estimation of net present value of free cash flow from the projection, using the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), equal to 8.89%, as a discount rate. WACC is calculated with the following formula:

WACC = Ke(E/V) + Kd (1-t)(D/V) Ke = Cost of equity or shareholders’ required rate of return, equal to 9.31% Kd = Cost of debt or average loan interest rate of STB, equal to 5.00% t = Corporate income tax of 20% E = Total shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2013 of Baht 680.61 million D = Interest-bearing debt as at December 31, 2013 of Baht 57.66 million V = D + E = Baht 738.27 million E/V = 92.19%, based on shareholders’ equity shown in consolidated financial

statements as of December 31, 2013 D/V = 7.81%, based on interest-bearing debt shown in consolidated financial

statements as of December 31, 2013

Calculation of Ke:

Ke = Rf + β(Rm - Rf)

Where:

Risk Free Rate (Rf)

Risk free rate of return on investment as of April 10, 2014, equal to 4.25% per year, based on bid yield on government bond with maturity of 25 years, which is a period that could reflect investment condition in different time periods better than shorter-term data (source: www.thaibma.or.th)

Beta (β) A variance between market return and closing market price of STB shares. Since none of the listed companies in the SET’s Tourism & Leisure Sector have nature of business similar to STB, i.e. operating only one hotel in the province, IFA has thus based IFA’s analysis on all entities in this sector. IFA uses the average beta in the past three years of 10 SET-listed entities in Tourism & Leisure Sector engaging in hotel business, and calculated it into an unlevered beta, then adjusted by the interest-bearing debt to equity ratio of STB, equal to 0.53.

Rm Average rate of return on the SET over the past 25 years (SET data from 1989 to 2013), equivalent to 13.79% per year

From the above assumptions, IFA could arrive at the project value of Baht 2,363.23 million, as shown in the table below:

Note: 1/ Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash of Baht 19,582,923 and loans to Santiburi Samui Country Club Co., Ltd. of Baht 219,500,000.

2/ Unlike the Peer Group, STB is not listed on the SET and, thus, its shares have no trading liquidity. The IFA accordingly discounts the share value measured by the market comparable approach by 15%. Such discount rate is based on the discount rate applicable in valuation of IPO shares that are generally discounted by 10%-15% when compared with the securities that are listed on the stock market.

STB shareholders’ equity value is appraised at Baht 2,382.57 million in total or Baht 2,382.57 per share (STB has a total of 1,000,000 shares).

IFA has additionally conducted a sensitivity analysis on the valuation of STB shareholders’ equity and STB shares to cover impacts expected from changes in Ke by a 5% increase/decrease from the base case scenario. Here is the outcome:

Conclusion of the IFA’s opinion on valuation of STB shares for share swap The above valuation approaches have different strengths and weaknesses in identifying a fair value of the shares, as described below:

1) Market price approach is not applicable because STB is not listed on the Exchange.

2) Book value approach reflects STB’s financial position at a certain point in time and also its assets’ book value, but takes no account of its profitability and business performance in the future.

3) Adjusted book value approach could reflect the net asset value better than the book value approach. The share valuation is made based on property appraisal by the Independent Valuer using the income approach which focuses on future performance and profitability.

However, the appraisal of STB’s land and construction by AAT was based solely on future operation, taking no account of value of STB shareholders’ equity since it has not yet included calculation of corporate income tax on profit from operation, nor calculation of borrowing by STB. Therefore, IFA views that the valuation by this approach may not fairly reflect the true value of STB shareholders’ equity.

4) Price-to-book value ratio approach reflects STB’s financial position at a certain period of time through comparison with the average ratio of the Peer Group, but does not focus on STB’s future profitability and performance.

5) Price-to-earnings ratio approach reflects STB’s profitability through comparison with the average ratio of the Peer Group, but by basing on its historical profit only and taking no account of its profitability and performance in the future.

6) EV/EBITDA ratio approach focuses on STB’s profitability in the past 12 months, but does not reflect its long-term future potential and profitability.

Page 170า 

7) Discounted cash flow approach reflects STB’s profitability and growth prospect based on the net present value of free cash flow expected from its future operation. Therefore, this approach can more accurately reflect the share value than all other approaches.

In IFA’s opinion, the discounted cash flow approach is the most suitable method for appraising the acquisition price of STB shares. By this approach, STB shareholders’ equity is valued at Baht 2,382.57 million in total or Baht 2,382.57 per share in the base case. When compared with the acquisition price of STB shares at Baht 2,300 million, the said price is lower than the appraised value by the IFA by Baht 82.57 million or 3.59% of the acquisition value.

In addition, from the sensitivity analysis on the said valuation to cover impacts expected from changes in WACC by a 5% increase/decrease from the base case scenario, STB shareholders’ equity value is appraised in a range of Baht 2,240.85 million – Baht 2,541.42 million or equal to Baht 2,240.85 – 2,541.42 per share. The acquisition price of STB shares at Baht 2,300 million is still within the said price range appraised by the IFA.

Therefore, IFA is of the opinion that the acquisition price of STB shares at Baht 2,300 million is a reasonable price.

2. Land Sale Transaction

The Company will sell the following plots of land to Khun Rapi Pinitchob, who is a major shareholder and management of the Company, or any individual or juristic person designated by Khun Rapi:

1. Vacant land in Lam Luk Ka area under 13 title deeds with a total area of 143-3-10 rai located in Bung Kham Phroi Sub-district, Lam Luk Ka District, Pathum Thani Province, at a price of Baht 175 million (please see a summary of the Independent Valuer’s appraisal report on pages 113 - 118); and

2. Vacant land in Don Mueang area of 33-2-81.4 rai located on Soi Phahon Yothin 73, Sanam Bin, Don Mueang, Bangkok, at a price of Baht 198 million (please see a summary of the Independent Valuer’s appraisal report on pages 118 - 121).

The IFA has appraised the two plots of land by basing on the appraisal report, which is the same one as that used as a basis for valuation of the Company’s shares, prepared by American Appraisal (Thailand) Ltd. (“AAT”), the Independent Valuer.

Note: 1/ Book value of land in Phahon Yothin area includes land cost of Baht 191.80 million, land improvement cost of Baht 5.45 million, and interest expenses of Baht 6.29 million on loans raised to finance the purchase of such land for future development.

2/ Case 1 is the accounting profit/loss excluding interest. 3/ Case 2 is the accounting profit/loss including interest. 4/ Selling price has not yet included operating expenses such as specific business tax of Baht 5,775,000 and transfer fee of Baht

1,897,830. All incurred expenses will be borne by the seller and the buyer on a 50:50 basis. 5/ Selling price has not yet included operating expenses such as specific business tax of Baht 10,009,939.50 and transfer fee of

Baht 6,066,630 บาท. All incurred expenses will be borne by the seller and the buyer on a 50:50 basis.

From the above table showing value of the two plots of land, IFA is of the opinion as follows:

1. Land in Lam Luk Ka area has a book value of Baht 173.85 million and was appraised by AAT at Baht 169 million. Thus, the proposed selling price of Baht 175.0 million is higher than the appraised value by Baht 6 million and higher than the book value by Baht 1.15 million. IFA

Page 174: Rasa Property Development Public Company Limited · Rasa Property Development Plc. Subject Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 172า 

views that the proposed selling price of land in Lam Luk Ka area of Baht 175 million is reasonable.

The said sale of land to Khun Rapi at Baht 175.00 million is yet subject to operating expenses, comprising specific business tax of Baht 5,775,000.00 and transfer fee of Baht 1,897,830.00. These expenses will be borne by the seller and the buyer on a 50:50 basis. Thus, after deduction of such expenses, the Company will receive net proceeds from the sale of land of Baht 171,163,585.00.

2. Land in Don Mueang area has a book value of Baht 203.55 million, divided into cost of land

and land improvement of Baht 197.25 million and interest expenses, which are incorporated into land cost, of Baht 6.29 million. AAT appraised such land at Baht 189 million. The proposed selling price of Baht 198 million is higher than the appraised price by AAT by Baht 9.00 million and higher than the book value, excluding interest, by Baht 0.75 million. IFA has considered such land sale in two scenarios as follows: Case 1 Interest expenses of Baht 6.29 million are not incorporated into book value of land

because such interest expenses are financial costs incurred from loans raised by the Company to finance the land purchase, and each operator bears a different amount of financial costs. In this case, the selling price is higher than the book value by Baht 0.75 million.

Case 2 Interest expenses of Baht 6.29 million are incorporated into book value of land. In this case, the selling price is lower than the book value by Baht 5.55 million.

Although the appraisal price as appraised by the Independent Valuer of Baht 189 million is lower than the official appraisal price of Baht 303.33 million, the land appraisal based on the official appraisal price, as determined by the Treasury Department, could not reflect the true market value of the property. The official appraisal price is generally used as a minimum benchmark and applied in land appraisal for collection of tax on property sale, stamp duty and fee for registration of right and juristic act. Meanwhile, the appraisal price by AAT was appraised by the market value comparable approach through comparison with nearby properties which have been sold and purchased or had an offering price. The price derived was then compared and adjusted by quality score of the appraised property and the comparable properties based on factors such as location, physical condition of the area, shape of land, zoning, facilities, transportation, etc. Therefore, IFA deems that the appraised price by AAT could well reflect the property value under its present condition.

In addition, IFA has considered weaknesses of the land in that it is situated in the landing/take-off direction of Don Mueang Airport, which creates a severe noise pollution for people living in that area. The land is accordingly not suitable for development into housing property. Besides, during the 2011 massive flooding that hard hit Pathum Thani and the northern part of Bangkok, the area where such land is located had been heavily swamped for a

long period of time. To keep such land will therefore be a burden on the Company in the future. In IFA’s opinion, the Company will, in Case 1, earn a profit of Baht 0.75 million from the land sale and, in Case 2, will suffer a loss of Baht 5.5 million. Taking into account such weaknesses of the land, IFA deems that to give a discount on such land at Baht 5.5 million or 2.73% is acceptable and appropriate. The said selling price is accordingly considered reasonable.

The said sale of land to Khun Rapi at Baht 198.00 million is yet subject to operating expenses, comprising specific business tax of Baht 10,009,939.50 and transfer fee of Baht 6,066,630.00. These expenses will be borne by the seller and the buyer on a 50:50 basis. After deduction of such expenses, the Company will receive net proceeds from the sale of land of Baht 189,961,715.25.

Therefore, the sale of land in Don Mueang area in Case 1 combined with the sale of land in Lam Luk Ka area will bring in a profit of Baht 1.90 million for the Company, whereas the sale of land in Case 2 will incur a loss of Baht 4.40 million.

In conclusion, IFA is of the opinion that the proposed selling prices of the two plots of land above at Baht 175 million and Baht 198 million, making Baht 373 million in total, are reasonable.

3. Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction (in order to acquire 30% ownership of land leased for commercial purpose in The Light House Project which will lead the Company to become sole owner of the leased land)

The Company will terminate the Management Agreement signed with Siam Prime, dated November 26, 2007, and will thereby have to pay Baht 51 million as a consideration for such agreement termination. Subsequent to the agreement termination, the Company’s ownership of the leased land in this project will increase by 30% from 70% to 100% (under the new shareholder group’s shareholding structure), thus increasing flexibility in management of such areas for commercial purpose. IFA has appraised the commercial areas in The Light House Project at Baht 137.65 million (based on valuation of the Company’s shares by the discounted cash flow approach for Light House Plaza Project). Please refer to details of such valuation in a) Valuation of Rasa Property Development Plc., Item 7 Discounted cash flow approach, Sub-Item 3. The said commercial areas have a book value of Baht 134.77 million and were appraised by AAT, as at February 1, 2014, at Baht 181 million. Comparison of such value can be shown as follows:

(Unit: Baht million) Total project value 30% project value

Book value * 134.77 40.43 Appraised value by IFA 137.65 41.30 Appraised value by Independent Valuer 181.00 54.30

Note * Book value of the project according to the Company’s financial statements as at December 31, 2013 was Baht 94.34 million, which is equal to 70% of total project value.

From the above table, the value of 30% of The Light House Project, as appraised by the IFA, is equal to Baht 41.30 million. Compared with value of the consideration payable by the Company for the agreement termination at Baht 51 million, the agreement termination transaction value is higher than the value appraised by the IFA at Baht 41.30 million by Baht 9.70 million. However, IFA views that the commercial area in The Light House Project is situated in Sathon-Charoen Nakhon area which is a prime location of Charoen Nakhon community. The project is conveniently accessible by customers via the main Charoen Nakhon Road and also by Charoen Nakhon 14 Road that is connected with the route to Wong Wian Yai. Its parking space can sufficiently accommodate customers. The commercial area is full of a variety of restaurants, Thai, Japanese and Italian, including Tops supermarket, tutor schools, beauty clinics, kidney dialysis clinic, etc., which could help attract people living in nearby areas as well as dwellers of The Light House who will benefit from convenience and travel time saving. The project has been well-known among local people and recorded a growing number of customers. The retail space has been fully rented out and there is still a long waiting list of potential rentees, given that any of the existing space becomes vacant after expiry of the rental contract.

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 175า 

Therefore, risk from acquisition of new rentees is lower than when the project was opened in 2011. The rental rate is also low when compared with those charged by nearby projects because it is the original rate offered at the start of the project in 2011 to attract rentees. When any of the rental contracts expires and if no pricing terms have been specified, the Company will be able to revise up such rental fees to be on par with the market rate and, thus, to generate higher income therefrom in the future. After termination of the Management Agreement, the Company will become sole owner of such leased land and will then have power to control and determine future business policy and plan with more flexibility. As well, the Company will be able to recognize 100% of the project’s operational performance. This will respond to the new shareholders’ policy to expand the property rental business.

Based on the above reasons, IFA deems that the said value of the agreement termination transaction of Baht 51 million, which is higher than the appraised value by the IFA by Baht 9.70 million, is reasonable when compared with the prime location and future growth potential of such project.

In addition, the said value of consideration for the agreement termination of Baht 51 million is lower than the appraised value of Baht 54.30 million by the Independent Valuer. Thus, the value of the agreement termination transaction is between the appraised price by the IFA and the appraisal price by the Independent Valuer.

Moreover, the Management Agreement termination is part of the Business Integration Plan by the Company with SBF and STB, which includes:

1. Issuance and allocation of 4,162,352,331 new ordinary shares at Baht 1.87 per share as a consideration for the entire business transfer of SBF and STB;

2. Sale of land in Lam Luk Ka and Don Mueang areas of the Company to Khun Rapi Pinitchob; and

3. Termination of the Management Agreement to enable the Company (under the new shareholder group’s shareholding structure) to have more flexibility in management of the land leased for commercial purpose.

For these three transactions in overall, IFA views that although by making such payment of Baht 51 million for the agreement termination with Siam Prime, it seems as if the Company had to bear expenses higher than the fair value appraised by the IFA at Baht 41.30 million by Baht 9.7 million, but the net benefit to be obtained by the Company from all of the three transactions is still higher than the total appraised value by Baht 296.66 million, as shown in the table below:

By entering into the Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction with Siam Prime, the Company will bear higher expenses than the appraised value by the IFA by Baht 9.7 million. However, the entry into this transaction is part of the procedure that will enable a success in the business integration. Besides, after completion of all transactions, the Company will, in overall, receive a net benefit higher than the appraised value by Baht 296.66 million. Therefore, IFA is of the opinion that the payment of Baht 51 million as a consideration for the Management Agreement termination is appropriate.

4.2 Appropriateness of conditions for the transactions In entering into the three transactions, the parties have determined method of payment and key

terms and conditions for each transaction, as concluded below:

1. EBT and New Shares Allocation Transaction

The Company will pay consideration to Khun Santi and SPM through an allocation of its newly issued shares to (a) Khun Santi in the amount of 1,229,946,524 shares at Baht 1.87 per share totaling Baht 2,300,000,000 as payment in kind for the transfer of entire business of STB to the Company, and to (b) SPM in the amount of 2,932,405,807 shares at Baht 1.87 per share totaling Baht 5,483,598,859 as payment in kind for the transfer of entire business of SBF to the Company. The success in such transaction is contingent upon fulfillment of all conditions precedent set forth for the entering into the EBT and New Shares Allocation Transaction, the major conditions of which are as follows:

a) The Company must obtain approval from its Board of Directors’ meeting and shareholders’ meeting with respect to the capital increase, the allocation of the newly issued ordinary shares of the Company, the business transfer acceptance plan, the appointment of new directors to replace the resigning directors, etc. In this respect, the Company already held the Board of Directors’ meeting on April 11, 2014 to consider and approve the EBT and New Shares Allocation Transaction. It will further convene the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on June 9, 2014 to consider and approve the said transaction.

b) The Company must obtain approval from the SET with respect to the EBT Transaction, which is considered an acquisition of significant assets, Type 4, and must obtain approval from the SET with respect to the relisting application to approve the listing of ordinary shares of the Company as listed securities on the Exchange. The Company has appointed Maybank Kim Eng Securities (Thailand) Plc. as financial advisor on such relisting application filing. Presently, the filing process is still underway.

2. Land Sale Transaction

The Company will receive cash payment as a consideration for the sale of its land to Khun Rapi. Such payment will be made after fulfillment of all conditions precedent, the major conditions of which are as follows:

b) The Company must obtain approval from the SET with respect to the EBT Transaction, which is considered an acquisition of significant assets, Type 4, and must obtain approval from the SET with respect to the relisting application to approve the listing of ordinary shares of the Company as listed securities on the Exchange. The Company has appointed Maybank Kim Eng Securities (Thailand) Plc. as financial advisor on such relisting application filing. Presently, the filing process is still underway.

3. Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction

The Company will pay Baht 51,000,000 to Siam Prime as a consideration for the termination of the Management Agreement with respect to the land leased for commercial purpose in The Light House Project. The conditions precedent for entering into the Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction shall be in accordance with the conditions specified in the Management Agreement, which is of an indefinite term. The termination shall be subject to mutual consent in writing between the two parties. On April 11, 2014, the two parties already signed a memorandum of agreement on termination of the Management Agreement.

IFA has considered the terms and conditions for payment of price or consideration for Transaction 1,

whereby the Company will offer its newly issued shares as payment in kind to the sellers, and deemed that such payment terms are appropriate. Since the assets acquired are of a huge value, to pay for the acquisition price in cash will necessitate additional borrowing from financial institutions, thereby leading the Company to bear a high debt burden and to possibly come under liquidity problem. After all, the conditions precedent are deemed the usual conditions that will by no means put the Company, as the buyer, at a disadvantage against the sellers.

The receipt of cash payment as a consideration for Transaction 2 is similarly deemed appropriate because it is regarded as a normal course of transaction in sale and purchase of assets. The conditions precedent are deemed the usual conditions that will by no means put the Company, as the seller, at a disadvantage against the buyer.

The cash payment by the Company to Siam Prime as a consideration for Transaction 3 is also considered appropriate because it is the Company that intends to terminate the agreement and it must therefore pay a consideration for the agreement termination to the other party. This is deemed the normal condition and will not put the Company at a disadvantage.

To sum up, IFA is of the opinion that the proposed payment of consideration for the three transactions above is appropriate.

5. Conclusion of the Independent Financial Advisor’s opinion

In IFA’s opinion, all of the three transactions to be entered into by the Company, comprising 1) EBT Transaction, 2) Land Sale Transaction, and 3) Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction, are appropriate and beneficial to the Company.

IFA views that the entering into Transaction 1, the EBT Transaction, is reasonable. The Company’s existing business, focusing mainly on residential property development, is currently faced with tougher competition and the Company therefore plans to diversify into hotel business and property renting business and has a policy to invest in promising projects with a reasonable rate of return and acceptable risk exposure. This will be compatible with the new management team’s considerable experience and expertise in real estate business and will allow the Company to engage in a more diverse line of business while reducing risk involved with its existing business. By entering into this transaction, the Company will have a larger business scale in terms of assets and registered capital and could strengthen growth in its consolidated revenues and profits, thus creating benefit to the Company and its shareholders in the long term.

The entering into Transaction 2, the Land Sale Transaction, and Transaction 3, the Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction, is also considered appropriate since it will comply with the terms and conditions agreed upon by the two parties. One reason is that the shareholders have no intention to use the two plots of vacant land as their locations do not match the target groups of the new shareholders. Besides, the land has a weakness in that it is situated in the landing/take-off direction of Don Mueang Airport, which creates noise pollution. As for Transaction 3, the new shareholders wish to have controlling power and full ownership of land leased for commercial purpose in The Light House Project in order to increase flexibility and efficiency in the operation.

As regards fairness of prices of the three transactions, IFA is of the opinion that all such transaction prices are fair and appropriate, details of which as follows:

1. Transaction 1, the EBT Transaction, under which the Company will issue and allocate its new ordinary shares as payment in kind for the transfer of entire business of STB and SBF to the Company, is considered appropriate and fair because the offering price of the newly issued shares of the Company at Baht 1.87 per share is higher than the fair value of the shares appraised by the IFA by the discounted cash flow approach at Baht 1.80 per share.

2. As for Transaction 2, the sale of land in Lam Luk Ka area at Baht 175 million and the land in Don Mueang area at Baht 198 million, or at a total selling price of Baht 373 million, to Khun Rapi, is deemed appropriate. This is because the selling price of the land in Lam Luk Ka area is higher than the appraisal price of such land as appraised by American Appraisal (Thailand) Ltd. (Independent Valuer) at Baht 169 million, and also higher than the book value of Baht 173.85 million by Baht 1.15 million. For the land in Don Mueang area, the IFA has appraised it in two scenarios. In case 1, where interest expenses are not incorporated into land cost, the selling price is higher than the appraisal price as appraised by the Independent Valuer at Baht

Page 182: Rasa Property Development Public Company Limited · Rasa Property Development Plc. Subject Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering

Opinion of the Independent Financial Advisor on acquisition and disposal of assets and entering into connected transactions

Page 180า 

189 million, and also higher than the book value of Baht 197.25 million by Baht 0.75 million. In case 2, where interest expenses are incorporated into cost of both plots of land, the selling price is lower than the book value by Baht 5.50 million. Nonetheless, the land in Don Mueang area has some weaknesses in that it is in the area which once was heavily flooded and also is in the landing/take-off direction of Don Mueang Airport. Therefore, IFA deems that to give a discount on such land at Baht 5.50 million or 2.73% is acceptable and appropriate. The said selling price is accordingly considered reasonable.

3. As regards Transaction 3, the Termination of the Management Agreement Transaction under which the Company has to pay Baht 51 million as a consideration for such agreement termination to Siam Prime Estate Co., Ltd., is considered appropriate, although such payment of Baht 51 million is higher than a fair value appraised by the IFA at Baht 41.30 million by Baht 9.7 million. The commercial area in The Light House Project is situated in Sathon-Charoen Nakhon area which is a prime location of Charoen Nakhon community. It has a strong growth potential, being widely recognized among local people. The area has been fully rented out, hence no risk from acquisition of new rentees. As some of the rented space currently have a low rental rate, the Company will have a chance to increase such rental fees and, thus, to generate higher income therefrom in the future. In IFA’s opinion, the said value of consideration of Baht 51 million, which is higher than the appraised value by the IFA by Baht 9.70 million, is reasonable when compared with the prime location and future growth potential of such project. The said value of consideration for the agreement termination is within the appraisal price range between the appraised price by the IFA and the appraised value of Baht 54.30 million by the Independent Valuer. Moreover, the overall benefit to be obtained by the Company from all of the three transactions is still higher than the appraised value by Baht 296.66 million. IFA accordingly views that the payment of Baht 51 million as a consideration for the agreement termination is appropriate.

Based on the reasons above, IFA views that the shareholders will receive benefits from the entering into the said transactions and, therefore, recommends that the shareholders should approve all of the three transactions which are deemed reasonable with fair prices and conditions. In this respect, the shareholders can consider the rationale and opinion described above as a basis for your decision-making. However, the decision whether to approve the transactions depends primarily on the individual shareholders’ judgment.
