The Sale Price of the Option Shares shall be determined by any top five independent and reputable accounting firm duly appointed by the Company. In determining the Sale Price, such accounting firm shall act as experts and its decision shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. 3. Rationale The Proposed Joint Venture will allow Gunung to enter into the renewable energy producing sector, in view of the Energy, Water & Green Technology Ministry s push for the development of renewable energy as fifth national fuel with the recent implementation of the feed-in-tariff (FiT) system. The FiT system supports the developers of renewable energy by fixing a premium tariff for electricity generated from non fossil fuel sources, such as mini-hydro schemes, biomass, and solar. Furthermore, the introduction of the Renewable Energy Act 2011 provides a mandatory requirement for the utility to buy Renewable Energy power. In the case of mini-hydro plants having an installed capacity of up to and including 10MW, the FiT rate payable by the utility ( TNB ) is 24 sen per kilowatt hour for a mandatory period of twenty one (21) years. The successful implementation of the mini-hydro Projects in Perak will contribute to Gunung s long term revenue and profits, and enhance Gunung s growth potential. In addition, the long term stable income stream derived from the mini-hydro Projects will reduce Gunung s dependency incomes solely from chartering land-based transportation assets & specialty vehicles. 4. Prospects The prospects of the Proposed Joint Venture are highly linked to the Feed-In Tariff ( FiT ) system which was recently enacted under the Renewable Energy Act 2011. This has dramatically improved the commercial viability of the renewable energy industry in Malaysia. With greater worldwide awareness on carbon mitigation measures to combat green house gases (GHG) emissions, there are now more concerted efforts to promote and encourage the use of renewable sources for power generation. The Government of Malaysia has approved The National Renewable Energy Policy and Action Plan on 2nd April 2010. One of the main elements of this policy was the introduction of the Renewable Energy Act which entails the implementation of the Feed-In Tariff (FiT) system. The FiT is a premium in which the Renewable Energy (RE) power is sold Page 8 of 13

according to each RE source. The introduction of the RE Act also provides a mandatory requirement for the utility to accept and buy RE power. Both the RE Act and the FiT System was enforced on 1st December 2011. On 1st September 2011, the Sustainable Energy Development Authority of Malaysia (SEDA Malaysia) was officially established to undertake the role of a one stop centre to promote sustainable energy and to help facilitate the RE industry. (Source: YB Dato Sri Peter Chin Fah Kui, The Future of Energy in Malaysia, April 2012) Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Board believes that the prospects of the Proposed Joint Venture shall be positive, and shall enhance the overall financial performance of Gunung Group over medium and long term. 5. Total Capital Commitment/Expenditure of the Projects The total capital commitment of the Proposed Joint Venture Projects, listed in 2.3.1, can only be reasonably determined upon completion of the licencing, feasibility, design, engineering and costing stages of the Projects. Based on the results of the initial hydrology studies at the listed locations, it has been determined that the mini-hydro plants will be a low-head type. Low-head hydro plants generally require a greater proportion of total expenditure allocated in design, civil and construction works compared to Highhead hydro plants (given the same energy output). Currently there are limited low-head mini-hydro plants in operating Malaysia to compare the cost dynamics. The design, engineering calculations, and mechanical technology chosen will substantially affect the efficiency of the plant, and in turn, the eventual total capital commitment of the Projects. 6. Risk Factors Relating to the Proposed Joint Venture Market risk, competition risk and pricing fluctuation risks for the Proposed Joint Venture has been substantially mitigated by the FiT system that fixes a premium tariff for electricity generated from non fossil fuel sources, such as mini-hydro schemes, and under the Renewable Energy Act 2011 which mandatory requires the utility (TNB) to accept and buy Renewable Energy power. Inherent to the renewable energy power generation sector in Malaysia, are both political and short term foreign exchange risks. Changes in existing Government policies regarding renewable energy can greatly affect the commercial viability of renewable energy. The mechanical and electrical equipment for power generation are generally procured from overseas manufacturers, which poses a short term foreign exchange risk for the Proposed Joint Venture. Business risks exist, which are mainly associated with the performance of the appointed main contractors for civil works, the appointed suppliers and installers of the mechanical & electrical components of the mini-hydro plant, and the appointed engineers and consultants. This is due to potential penalties imposed by the utility (under the Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreement) for delays in the commencement of energy supply (resulting from delays in the completion of the construction of the plant), and fluctuations in the agreed upon energy commitment. The efficiency of the plant design, and the efficiency of the mechanical & electrical components, will greatly affect the ability for the Company to meet its annual energy commitment to the utility. The Board intends to mitigate these risks, by procuring financial performance guarantees from the main Page 9 of 13

contractors and suppliers, equal to or greater than the maximum penalties that can be imposed on the Company by the utility due to such business risks. Other business risks are associated with either Party not fulfilling their obligations under the Agreement. This risk has been partially mitigated by the relevant default and non performance clauses in the Agreement, and as such the risk will be limited by the initial equity contribution of Gunung to the Company amounting to RM700,000 (and any additional shareholder advances made to the Company for the Company s initial financing requirements). Financing risk must also be considered, although the actual source of project funding for the Proposed Joint Venture under the Company has not yet been determined at this juncture. Depending on the type of financing/ financing instrument, the borrowing, contingent liabilities, and gearing level of Gunung may increase. Any breach of a debt financing instrument s covenants, and failure to meet the timely interest and principal payments may result in default. In the event that the financing requirement is funded via equity financing, it may dilute the earnings per share and net assets ( NA ) of Gunung. Nevertheless, the Board will exercise due care in considering the financing methods and the merits of the financing required. 7. Effects of the Proposed Joint Venture The Proposed Joint Venture is not expected to have any effect on the share capital and substantial shareholders shareholding. The Proposed Joint Venture is not expected to have any effect on the NA and gearing of the Gunung Group for FYE 31 December 2012. The proforma effects on the NA and gearing of the Gunung Group will depend on the actual proportions of internallygenerated funds, borrowings, issuance of debt instruments, and/or equity financing to be sourced to successfully implement the mini-hydro Projects. The financing required will only be determined upon the confirmation of the estimated capital cost of the Projects, after the completion of the licencing (including the execution of the Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreement with the utility), feasibility, design, engineering and costing stages of the Projects. The Proposed Joint Venture is not expected to have any material effect on earnings for the FYE 31 December 2012, as the licencing, feasibility, design, engineering and costing stages of the Projects are only expected to be completed after six (6) months from the date of the Agreement. Furthermore, the construction and commissioning stages of the Projects are expected to take an additional two (2) years before the commencement of selling RE power to the utility. However, the Board believes that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Proposed Joint Venture is expected to contribute positively to the future earnings of the Gunung Group. 8. Approvals Required The Proposed Joint Venture is conditional upon approvals being obtained from the following: (a) a Public Generation Licence from the Energy Commission; Page 10 of 13

(b) from the State Government of Perak to utilise suitable state land at a nominal lease amount for mini-hydro power plant use and provide water resources or other resources for the purpose of carrying out the Projects; (c) Feed-in Approval from the Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia ( SEDA ); (d) Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreement ( REPPA ) with the relevant utility (Tenaga Nasional Berhad); (e) shareholder approval in a general meeting for Diversification in Operations Carried on by a Listed Issuer, as required under 10.13 of the Bursa Malaysia Main Market Listing Requirements, in the event that upon completion of the licencing, feasibility, design, engineering and costing stages of the Projects, it can be reasonably expected that the Projects/ Proposed Joint Venture, result in:- the diversification of 25% or more of the net assets of the listed issuer to an operation which differs widely from those operations previously carried on by the listed issuer; or the contribution from such operation of 25% or more of the net profits of the listed issuer. In assessing the extent of diversification or the amount of contribution to the net profits, consideration will be taken of any associated transactions or loans effected or intended and of contingent liabilities or commitments.
