Description of valuation technique used
The Company obtains independent valuations of its investment property after every three years. The fair value of the investment
property have been derived using the Direct Comparison Method. The direct comparison approach involves a comparison of
the investment property to similar properties that have actually been sold in arms-length distance from investment property or
are offered for sale in the same region. This approach demonstrates what buyers have historically been willing to pay (and sellers
willing to accept) for similar properties in an open and competitive market, and is particularly useful in estimating the value of the
land and properties that are typically traded on a unit basis. This approach leads to a reasonable estimation of the prevailing price.
Given that the comparable instances are located in close proximity to the investment property; these instances have been assessed
for their locational comparative advantages and disadvantages while arriving at the indicative price assessment for investment
property.
b) The Company has not earned any material rental income on the above properties.
