2.0 BACKGROUND
Location and Site Plans are attached as Appendix 2
Westlake international tower (wit), 18 Thuy Khue, Hanoi, Vietnam, is currently owned as follows
• Newtatco 49%
• New Markets Pte 37%
• Dragon Age Holdings BVI 14%
The ownership is via a Joint Venture Contract dated the 6th August 2010 as amended on the 8th August 2011. English translations of both are attached as Appendix 2
There is an Investment Certificate dated the 12th December 2011 (Appendix 3) and a Construction License dated the 18th January 2012 (Appendix 4)
All calculations within this document are based on the Financial Statement dated the 31st December 2011, which we understand forms the basis of the Audited Accounts and is agreed between the current owners. A set of updated Audited Accounts will need to be prepared and agreed between the current owners and Refico. Adjustments to the terms in this document will be made in accordance with those updated Audited Accounts.
For example, Refico has calculated from the Financial Statement dated the 31st December 2011 that the Foreign Parties have a shortfall of US$1,315,639.82. However nowhere is this amount explicitly stated.
In summary:-
• the Joint Venture is for a term of 30 years from April 1994
• The Land Area is 2,916 sq metres
• The Construction License is for a basement and for GFA above ground of 18,300 sq metres on 17 floors
• The use of the building is for serviced apartments and offices
3.0 FINANCIAL SUMMARY
• The Foreign Partner agrees that the 2011 audit is accurate, and that there can only be minor changes between then and now except for some operating costs.
• The Foreign Partner has objected to the 2012 audit report because the VN party wanted to integrate that they have paid in 109% of capital. The Foreign Partner disagrees with that assessment because the VN party paid it back to themselves immediately via unauthorised loans.
4.0 INTENTION OF THE PARTIES
Refico will Joint Venture with the Foreign Party to develop the Project, initially via the offshore vehicle Dragon Age. Refico will cooperate with Newtatco to enable construction to start and to redesign the project to be more appropriate to the current market and therefore provide better returns.
