As with any developments that are under construction, the prices are susceptible to the change
in the economic climate. There are owners of One Amber who have dumped their units during
the November 2008 to March 2009 where market uncertainty was at its peak. Please refer to
Annex A for more details.

Who are Your Neighbours?

One Amber, being the newest development of the Trinity, takes its price indication from its
neighbours, The Seaview and The Esta, in particular.

The marketing efforts of Wheelock Properties, the high-end developer, have paid off for the
owners of The Sea View. The development is perceived to be the premium of the lots in the
East, especially in the Amber Road area. The quality and the spaciousness of the development
are valued by buyers who are willing to pay a premium over The Esta and One Amber.
However, we think that One Amber will catch up with The Sea View once it is TOP.

Rental Market is usually tied to the labour market. Amid the job losses in the financial markets,
we have seen the rental at The Sea View plunged to one of the lowest in March. However, as
seen in the last few months, the rental levels have firmed up, with banks relooking at hiring and
increasing their pay to their staff to keep them.

The average transacted price of The Esta units is lower than that of One Amber and The Sea
View. Most buyers do not like the layout of the developments, which the pool facing units are
blocked and facing another block. The pool is always smaller the in terms of space, the
development feels a bit more congested. However, it is still a very nice development in the
East.
