From Jan. to Apr. 2018, the Company achieved contracted sales of RMB6.6 bn, up by 33.5% YoY, achieving 20.6% of its 2018 sales target so far. Gross margins are expected to recover due to unit land costs being relatively not high and relatively quality land bank. Unit land costs dropped by 109.2% YoY to RMB3,517 per sq.m. in 2017. Around 71.0% of the Company's land bank was in tier-1, tier-2 and tier-3 cities around metropolitan areas. In addition, we estimate that the unit land cost for total land bank will be approximately RMB3,833 per sq.m., 37.8% of ASP during Jan.-Apr. 2018. Top line increased by 0.6% YoY to RMB8,506 mn. Underlying net profit decreased 17.4% YoY to RMB534 mn, missing our expectation. However, we expect the top line to ultimately boom in 2019, along with advance payments from property pre-sales of RMB13.1 bn as at 31 Dec. 2017. The Company will maintain a high leverage ratio, but this is in line with fairly fast contracted sales growth. As we have revised down underlying net profit, we have also revised down the target price from HK$2.12 to HK$1.98, which represents a 61% discount to its revised 2018F NAV of HK$5.08 per share, 7.0x underlying 2018 PER and 0.9x 2018 PBR. However, the Company's valuation remains low. We maintain "Buy". Risk factors: lower-than-expected contracted sales and further monetary policy tightening. 由于充足可售货源和绿色产品线, 合约销售很有可能延续较快增长 2018 年 1-4 月, 公 司录得人民币 66 亿元的合约销售, 同比增长 33.5%, 达成 2018 年销售目标的 20.6% Rating: Buy Maintained 评级 : 买入 ( 维持 ) 6-18m TP 目标价 : HK$1.98 Revised from 原目标价 : HK$2.12 Share price 股价 : Stock performance 股价表现 HK$1.480 房地产行业 不高的单位土地成本与相对有质量的土地储备, 毛利率预计恢复 公司的单位土地成本于 2017 年同比下降 109.2% 至人民币 3,517 元每平米 公司约有 71.0% 的土储位于一线, 二 线城市以及都市圈周围的三线城市 另外, 我们测算总土储的单位土地成本约为人民币 3,833 每平米, 为 2018 年 1-4 月销售均价的 37.8% 总收入同比增长 0.6% 到人民币 8,506 百万元 核心净利同比下降 17.4% 到人民币 534 百 万元, 低于我们预期 但是, 伴随 2017 年 12 月 31 日末达到人民币 131 亿元的房屋已售 预收款, 我们预计收入最终将在 2019 年爆发 公司将保持高负债率, 但这与较为快速的合约销售增长一致 由于下调了核心净利, 我们 将目标价从 2.12 港元下调至 1.98 港元, 相当于较 5.08 港元的 2018 年每股净资产有 61% 的折让, 也分别相当于 7.0 倍 2018 年核心市盈率和 0.9 倍 2018 年市净率 然而, 公司估 值仍然低 我们维持 买入 风险 : 低于预期的合约销售和货币政策进一步收紧 [Table_PriceChange] Change in Share Price 股价变动 Abs. % 绝对变动 % Rel. % to HS Index 相对恒指变动 % Avg.

During Jan.-Mar. 2018, the YoY increase in commodity house sales decreased compared to that during Jan.-Feb. 2018. Investment remained strong and beat market expectations. GFA newly started rebounded during Jan.-Mar. 2018. In addition, saleable areas extended downside momentum. Subsequently, we saw steady fundamentals for the property market.

For the policy and monetary environment, the key note of healthy property market maintenance will not change. Currently, we expect a tightening up of the monetary environment alongside gradual rate hikes in the US and the beginning of new asset management regulation in China. While, on 23 Apr. 2018, the Political Bureau Conference of the CPC Central Committee proposed to expand demand and to stabilize the property market. Thus, targeted policies will be maintained to promote the steady and sound development of the property sector. However, we think that commodity housing sales will only experience limited decline. Urbanization, demand from housing replacement and monetization of squatter settlement rebuilding will lead to sustainable housing demand in 2018-2020. Moreover, if the property market starts to slump, the policy and credit environment related to the property sector should ease again to stabilize the property market as per the last round of policy easing which started on 30 Sep. 2014. Figure 3: Key Property Development and Sales Data 3 2 - -2-3 -4 10.5% 7.7% 13.5% 8.1% 22.5% 15.8% 8.8% 6.5% 19.8% 7.0% 8.9% 2.0% 17.3% 1.0% 7.5% 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018F -10.7% -2.0% -14.0% -7.6% -14.0% -7.0% -3.4% -31.7% GFA Newly Started YTD YoY Land Area Sold YTD YoY Investment YTD YoY GFA Sold of Commodity Houses Source: National Bureau of Statistics of China, Guotai Junan International. Contracted sales is expected to gain fairly rapid growth in 2018. In 2017, contracted sales reached RMB22.2 bn, up by 33.9% YoY, achieving 100.8% of its 2017 sales target. Accumulated contracted sales in terms of GFA amounted to 1,802,682 sq.m., up 25.8% YoY. Sales target and saleable resources in 2018 reached RMB32.0 bn (indicating 44.2% YoY growth) and RMB 57.5 bn (indicating 55.7% target sale-through rate), respectively. With sufficient saleable resources and low target sell-through rate, we think that the Company's contracted sales target is achievable. As per the Company s plan, saleable resources in Beijing, Shanghai, Shanxi, Hubei and Fujian will amount to approximately RMB13.4 bn, RMB1.2 bn, RMB5.0 bn, RMB7.7 bn and RMB 5.0 bn, respectively. In addition, with the further awareness of friendly living environment and consumption upgrade, a green pipeline could become more favorable. Thus, we expect contracted sales to maintain upside momentum. During Jan. to Apr. 2018, Modern Land recorded RMB6.6 bn in contracted sales, up 33.5% YoY. Accumulated contracted sales in terms of GFA amounted to 638,530 sq.m., up 28.0% YoY. The Company has achieved 20.6% of its 2018 sales target so far. See the last page for disclaimer Page 2 of 8

At the end of 2017, the Company had a total land bank size of 6.5 mn sq.m., up 20.2% compared with the end of 2016. In 2017, the Company acquired 13 land parcels with a unit land cost of RMB3,517 per sq.m., down by 109.2% YoY. On the other hand, the Company decreased its land bank portion in tier-1 cites (Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou) and tier-2 cities (mainly provincial cities in central China and international cities) from around 81% in 2016 to around 71% in 2017. We still think that the Company s land bank was mainly exposed in higher-tier cities. We estimate the unit land cost for total land bank to be approximately RMB3,833 per sq.m., 37.8% of ASP during Jan.-Apr. 2018. With land costs not considered high and relative quality land banks, gross profit margin is expected to slightly rebound after 2018. Therefore, we estimate gross margins to remain over 22.0% in the next three years.

Source: the Company. The Company s average funding costs are expected to slight increase and the net gearing ratio is expected to remain at a high level. Weighted average financial costs declined by 0.6 ppts to 7.5% in 2017. When comparing to average funding costs of the sector leaders, the Company's average funding costs were high. With monetary tightening, we expect that average funding costs would have a slight increase in 2018. Net gearing ratio has increased for three consecutive years since 2015, from 44.6% in 2015 to 83.1% in 2017. In order to maintain fairly fast growth for contracted sales, we expect that net gearing ratio will remain at over 79.0% during 2018-2020. See the last page for disclaimer Page 3 of 8

Gross profit amounted to RMB1,790 mn, up 8.7% YoY due to gross margin improvement. With more land appreciation tax paid, net profit increased 6.3% YoY to RMB706 mn, which missed our expectation. Underlying net profit decreased 17.4% YoY to RMB534 mn, which still missed our expectation riding on less GFA delivered. GPM increased 1.5 ppts YoY to 21.0%. Net profit margin increased 0.4 ppts YoY to 8.3%. Net gearing ratio increased 14.2 ppts YoY. Cash balance rose a significant 53.9% YoY to RMB10,410 mn due to more cash collection from contracted sales and debt scale expansion.

We expect that Modern Land's contracted sales will maintain upside momentum due to sufficient saleable resources and favorable pipelines. However, the Company needs a longer time than our expectations to finally deliver houses to purchasers. That is, compared with our previous expectations, the top line will be further delayed to reflect strong contracted sales growth since 2015. We expect the top line to ultimately boom in 2019, along with advance payments from property pre-sales of RMB13.1 bn as at 31 Dec. 2017. Therefore, we revise down 2018F and 2019F total revenue by 9.9% and 2.1% to RMB9,442 mn and RMB14,823 mn, respectively. We expect gross margins to further recover but lower than our previous expectations. In addition, gross margin in 2017 missed our previous expectations. We have revised down 2018F and 2019F gross margin by 0.6 ppts and 0.3 ppts, respectively. However, land appreciation tax in 2017 was higher than our previous expectation. Therefore, we revise up land appreciation tax in 2018F and 2019F. Overall, we revise down 2018F and 2019F underlying net profit by 13.5% and 16.4% to RMB636 mn and RMB910 mn. Net gearing ratios in 2017 were higher than our previous assumptions, and we have revised up net gearing ratios in 2018F and 2019F by 11.9 ppts and 21.2 ppts, respectively.

Source: Guotai Junan International. Maintain "Buy". The Company's contracted sales is expected to maintain upside momentum. In addition, we believe that with land cost relatively not being high and relatively quality land banks, this will drive the Company's gross margins to slightly rally. The Company will maintain a high leverage ratio, but this is in line with the fairly fast contracted sales growth. We expect the top line to ultimately boom in 2019 along with advance payments from property pre-sales of RMB 13.1 bn as at 31 Dec. 2017. Thus, results need time to improve. However, last closing price implied 2018, 2019 and 2020 underlying PER was only 5.2x, 3.6x and 3.3x, respectively. The Company's valuation remains low. As we revise down underlying net profit, we revise down target price from HK$2.12 to HK$1.98, which represents a 61% discount to its revised 2018F NAV of HK$5.08 per share, 7.0x underlying 2018 PER and 0.9x 2018 PBR. We maintain our investment rating as "Buy". Risk factors include lower-than-expected contracted sales and further monetary policy tightening.
