7 Industry Overview 7

8 Dry Freight Container Industry Dynamics Dry Freight Container demand driven by trade / export volumes, not freight rates Traditionally, demand is seasonal in line with export and trade pattern Q-Q3 are peak seasons Materials cost is the major determinant of container price use cost-plus pricing model to set selling price Corten steel, a high-grade hot-rolled steel product, accounts for 5.1% of total dry freight container production costs in 1H013 Normal box to slot ratio is for new vessels. Refer to slide 1 for more details Size of current container fleet worldwide by end 01 is estimated to be 33 million TEUs, supporting million TEUs of shipping capacity The replacement rate prior to the financial crisis was about 5% to 7% p.a. of the total container fleet, depending on market conditions. Current replacement is irregular and this trend suggests that replacement of existing containers will become increasingly necessary, there is a pent up demand of new containers for replacement Containers were 54% owned by shipping lines & other transport carriers and 46% owned by container leasing companies as at the end of 01 (vs. 56% / 44% owned by shipping lines & other transport carriers and container leasing companies in mid-011). More orders are placed by container leasing companies since 010 8

9 Specialised Container Industry Dynamics Specialised container industry has higher entry barrier and is less competitive. It normally enjoys higher margins than the standard dry freight container Demand for higher value-added specialised containers is less seasonal and cyclical than dry freight container demand Specialised containers include 53 US domestic, refrigerated, tank, open top and other higher profit margin non-dry freight containers Most of the old US domestic containers which are produced by aluminium have reached the replacement age and are expected to be replaced by steel structured containers. 53 US Domestic Container Refrigerated Container Tank Container Open-top Container 9

11 Container Prices vs. Steel Prices 1H013 ASP of 0ft dry freight container fell to US$,87, 6.7% lower than both 1H01 and full year of 01 Lower ASP due to the dropping of raw material prices 1H 013 average steel cost was US$633/ton (1H 01: US$710/ton and full year 01: US$687/ton) Container price along with other raw material prices are expected to stabilise in the coming months 000 1H 013 0ft. Dry Freight Container1 Price (ASP) vs. Average Steel Cost Per Ton ASP Steel Cost/ Ton US$ US$ 3, , , , , Year ASP Avg. Steel Cost Note: 1. one 0 container normally requires 1.8 tons (including wastage) of steel.. ASP stands for average selling price of Singamas. 11

12 Container Shipping Fleet Projections In normal circumstances, the box to TEU slot ratio is x That is, for every one new shipping slot, approximately two TEUs of new containers would be required Shipping capacity projected to grow steadily from million TEUs in 01 to million TEUs by 016 (representing a CAGR of 4.35% during this 4-year period) New shipping slots are expected to reach the peak of 1.6 million TEUs and 1.48 million TEUs in 013 and 014 respectively Shipping Capacity (in mil of TEUs) Rise p.a % % % % % New Shipping Slots (in mil of TEUs) New Shipping Slots (before slippage) Cellular Fleet as at 31 December Note: Based on order book as at 1 July 013 and assuming no ships are deleted after that date (other than those planned). Forecast figures take into account delivery deferrals and slippage. Expected fleet size after provision for future scrappings and delivery slippage is based on the following assumptions: i) Slippage: 17 ships for 70,000 TEUs planned for delivery in 013 are assumed to be delayed to ; and ii) Scrappings and de-ceilings are estimated to reach 450,000 TEUs in 013 and 75,000 TEUs in 014 and 00,000 TEUs in 015 and 016.

13 World's Second Largest Container Manufacturer Singamas is the world s second-largest container manufacturer, estimated market share remain stabled at around 1% in 013 (01 : 1%) The market is expected to remain an oligopoly as Singamas has the competitive strength to preserve a number of entry barriers As the world s second-largest manufacturer of containers, Singamas possesses both the expertise and the resources to ride out periods of weaker demand Entry Barriers 1 Production network and services Production network across the coastal regions Proximity to ports Higher land prices in coastal regions Difficult to find large area in coastal regions Singamas Competitive Positioning 11 factories across the coastal region in PRC with multi-location delivery capabilities eco-friendly container factories in Qidong well-poised to satisfy new demand and replacement demand in the upcoming year Incumbent with well established facilities, strong marketing network and customer relationships Most of its production facilities were established or acquired in the 1990s and early 000s and are now under continuous improvement and upgrade 13

14 Sustainable Business along the Industry Cycle Singamas has weathered various ups and downs along the industry cycle yet still maintained its leading position In the recent down-cycle from mid-008 to end of 009, Singamas quickly returned to profitability in 010 Singamas has a healthy financial position, with reasonable gearing ratio and sufficient cash on hand to support future business growth Production output and sales volume EBITDA and margin TEUs ( 000) % % % % 9.3% 10% 9.% % -11.9% % 110 (40) Production 01 1H01 1H013 (90) H01 1H013-0% (33) EBITDA (US$ m) EBITDA Margin (%) -30% Sales 14

15 Diversifying Product Mix to Stabilise Income To further diversify its businesses as well as providing a buffer against the trade driven volatile market for dry freight containers, Singamas is exploring higher-margin specialised containers with more stable demand Even revenue contributed by dry freight increased to 78% in 1H13, Singamas is still targeting sales of specialised containers to account for 40% to 50% of its total revenue in to 3 years by developing more higher-margin specialised containers Revenue breakdown for dry freight and specialised containers in the reporting period was 78% and % respectively Total Revenue % Breakdown (%) Manufacturing Volume % Breakdown 98 Containers manufacturing 98 (%) Logistics (%) Manufacturing Revenue % Breakdown Dry Freight Specialised Containers Dry Freight Specialised Containers 15

16 Qidong Factories Well-Poised for New Demand Two phases achieved respective development milestones in 1H 013 Phase I: Dry freight and specialised containers factory achieved operational breakeven point during the review period Phase II: Refrigerated container factory subsequently completed producing several batches of refrigerated containers from April 013 onwards, and is expected to begin contributing to the Group in 014 Well-poised with good logistic back up to satisfy new demand and replacement demand in the near future 16

23 Business Review: Manufacturing Revenue and Pretax Profit: Revenue from the segment decreased by 34.8% to US$567,84,000 partly as a result of the weakness persisting in the European and PRC economies and the resulting softer than expected demand for containers Pretax profit amounted to US$33,090,000 compared to US$59,645,000 million in the last corresponding period Business Performance: As at 30 June 013, the Group produced 74,519 TEUs (1H01: 35,79 TEUs, 01: 600,10 TEUs) Driven by the recovering US economy, US domestic container demand increased significantly Major Initiative: Disposal of 100% equity interest in Guangdong Shun An Da Pacific Container Co., Ltd. in May 013, which was principally engaged in dry freight and specialised container manufacturing The transaction has further streamlined the Group s operations and generated cash to further strengthen the Group s financial position After the completion of transaction, orders from Guangdong Province will be centrally produced in Huizhou factory 3
