CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Β
Introduction
Β
I am pleased to report on the half-year results for Aseana Properties Limited ("Aseana") and its group of companies ("the Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2012.
Β
In the year to date, the property markets in Malaysia and Vietnam continue to show signs of weaknesses amidst an uncertain global economy. In Malaysia, the general business environment has remained robust, supported in large part by government economic stimulus. The efforts by the government bolstered an inevitable slowdown in exports to the United States, Europe and China, as well as a decline in commodity prices globally. Unfortunately, these measures to date have not translated into real growth in the property market compounded by weaker foreign demand. for properties. The new lending guidelines have been introduced by the Central Bank of Malaysia in January 2012 to manage speculative buying of properties, especially in the higher end segment of the market. The guidelines place the onus on financial institutions to exercise extra restraint in approving loans to consumers.
Β
The economy in Vietnam continues to be sluggish, hampered by slowing demand in exports and deferments in capital investments by local and foreign companies due to high borrowing costs and the financial crisis. On the positive side, the government's credit tightening efforts have managed to lower the inflation rate in July 2012 to 5.35%, the lowest recorded since November 2009, and down from a peak of 23.02% in August 2011.
Β
The Board believes that the Company is well placed to face these near-term challenges for the following key reasons:
Β
β’ | On-going residential properties for sale in Malaysia (SENI Mont' Kiara and Tiffani by i-ZEN) are completed and majority are sold |
β’ | Investment properties in Malaysia (Harbour Mall Sandakan, Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan hotel and Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral hotel) have secured long-term financing and are either completed or near completion |
β’ | The on-going key project in Vietnam (International Hi-tech Healthcare Park) is in the much-in-demand healthcare sector and has secured long-term financing |
β’ | Impending launches will be positioned and timed cautiously in the affordable luxury segment (KLCC Kia Peng Project, Kuala Lumpur), and landed villas segment (Waterside Estate (formerly known as 'Phuoc Long B project'), Ho Chi Minh City), both segments which have shown relative resilience in recent times. |
Β
In July 2012, the Board took steps to address the concerns raised by shareholders by announcing a number of proposals which include a return in aggregate of US$100 million in capital to shareholders by 2015 and the reorganisation of the Company's management and operational structure. The Company continues to make progress in putting in place the necessary prerequisites to implement the proposals and will announce the full details of these proposals to shareholders as soon as practicable.
Β
Results
Β
For the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Group recorded revenue of US$18.52 million (H1 2011: US$189.67 million) and a net loss for the period of US$3.11 million (H1 2011: profit of US$6.89 million). The revenue and profit were mainly derived from the continuing sale of apartment units at SENI Mont' Kiara. The results include a charge to the cost of acquisition of US$3.20 million (H1 2011: US$24.90 million).
Β
Net asset value for the Group for the period under review is slightly lower at US$199.10 million (31 December 2011: US$203.37 million) or US$0.94 per share (31 December 2011: US$0.96).
Β
In December 2011, Aseana announced its intention to commence a limited share buy-back programme of up to 500,000 Ordinary Shares. The share buy-back programme was conducted between 4 to 24 January 2012, and resulted in 500,000 Ordinary Shares being bought at an average price of 34.93 cents. These shares are currently held as treasury shares.

Review of Activities and Property Portfolio

Projects | % sales as at July 2012 | % sales as at December 2011 |
Tiffani by i-ZEN | 96% | 96% |
SENI Mont' Kiara | 83% | 71% |
Sandakan Harbour Square - Phase 2 retail lots | 100% | 99% |
KL Sentral Office Towers & Hotel - Office tower 1 - Office tower 2 - Hotel | Β 100% 100% 100% | Β 100% 100% 100% |
Β
Malaysia
Β
The sales at SENI Mont' Kiara continue to be an important focus of the Group. The introduction of stricter borrowing guidelines by the Central Bank as described earlier has slowed the progress of sales transactions at SENI. Despite the challenging economy, sales at SENI have reached 83%, and we continue to be optimistic of achieving the targeted 90% by the end of year 2012.
Β
In March 2012, the Group successfully completed the construction of Harbour Mall Sandakan consisting of approximately 200,000 square feet of net lettable space. The retail mall was soft-opened for business on 16 July 2012. To date, occupancy at the mall stands at 41%, with notable tenants such as Parkwell, McDonalds, Levi's, The Body Shop, Watsons, GNC, Tomei Gold & Jewellery and Guardian. The Group is targeting 55% occupancy by the end of the year.
Β
The Group has also partially completed the construction of the Four Points Sheraton Sandakan hotel during the period under review and the hotel was soft-opened for business on 30 May 2012. To date, 180 rooms are ready for occupancy, with the remaining 119 rooms due to progressively come on stream by end September 2012.
Β
The second half of the year will be a busy period for Aseana as we continue to work on the sale of apartments at SENI Mont' Kiara and Tiffani by i-ZEN. Aseana is also on track to complete the construction of KL Sentral Office Towers and Hotel project in December 2012. The construction start date for KLCC Kia Peng Residential and Boutique Hotel project is expected in October 2012 with planned sales launch to follow shortly thereafter.

Β
Aseana continues to make good progress on the development of City International Hospital, the maiden project at the International Hi-Tech Healthcare Park, Ho Chi Minh City. Construction is expected to complete by end of the year, with the hospital slated for opening in Q1 2013.
Β
Having obtained the Investment License for the Waterside Estate project in December 2011, the Group has made steady progress with the project planning. Phase 1 of the project consisting of 37 units of riverside villas is being prepared for launch in Q4 2012, subject to market conditions.

DEVELOPMENT MANAGER'S REVIEW
Β
Malaysia Economic Update
Β
The pace of the global recovery has moderated in the recent months. The latest data points to slower economic activity and more challenging growth prospects in several regions around the world. In Asia, economic activity was affected by weaker external demand. In spite of this challenging environment, the Malaysian economy recorded higher growth of 5.4% in the second quarter (Q1 2012: 4.9%), driven by stronger domestic demand, which rose by 13.8% (Q1 2012: 9.7%). This was supported by robust growth in expenditure in both the private and public sectors, while net exports moderated further due to weaker exports and higher imports. On the supply side, most major economic sectors continued to expand, led by the services, manufacturing and construction sectors.
Β
The Malaysian Government is forecasting growth for 2012 of 4.0 to 5.0%. Strong domestic activity is expected to be the main driver, with the Economic Transformation Programme ("ETP") and Government Transformation Programme ("GTP") continuing to be the main catalyst. To date, the Government has unveiled 134 projects under the ETP with investments totaling RM197.49 billion (US$64.44 billion).
Β
Monetary conditions also remained supportive of economic growth. The Central Bank of Malaysia held the overnight policy rate at 3.0% and statutory reserve requirement at 4.0% June 2011 and July 2011 respectively.
Β
The Consumer Sentiment Index by the Malaysian Institute of Economic Research ("MIER") is stable at 114.9 points in second quarter of 2012 (Q1 2012: 114.3 points), the highest level since the fourth quarter of 2010. This is supported by a buoyant employment situation, rising levels of disposable income and a growing population base. On the other hand, MIER's Business Conditions Index decreased slightly to 111.5 points in the second quarter of 2012 (Q1 2012: 116.5 points) due to unfavorable outlook for sales and production impacted by global events like the Eurozone debt crisis, the Japan and Thailand natural disasters.

Vietnam Economic Update
Β
The Vietnamese economy rose 4.38% in the first half of the year of 2012, which was below the government's target of 6.0% for 2012. Exports showed strong growth of 22.2% year-on-year (US$53.1 billion) with a lower import growth rate of 6.9% year-on-year (US$53.8 billion), helping to improve Vietnam's trade deficit for the first half of 2012. Total committed foreign direct investment for the past seven months totaled US$8.0 billion, with realised foreign direct investment estimated at US$6.3 billion.
Β
In July 2012, inflation declined further to 5.35%, the lowest recorded since November 2009, and down from a peak of 23.02% in August 2011. The slowdown is largely due to government measures to help ease inflation over the past few months.
Β
During the period under review, the base interest rate remained unchanged at 9%. However, the State Bank of Vietnam ("SBV") slashed the refinancing rate, discount rate and deposit rate cap to 10% (January: 15%), 8% (January: 13%) and 9% (January: 14%) respectively with the aim of easing the burden on the weary real estate market and decreasing inflation. SBV also maintains strict monitoring on the US Dollar and gold trading, helping to stablise the local currency at VND20,828/US$ since December 2011.

Β
2.1. Basis of Preparation
Β
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2012 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

Taxes on income in the interim period are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.
Β

Β
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.
Β
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011 as described in those annual financial statements.
Β
The interim report and financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 28 August 2012.
