Forward-looking statements are based on the company’s current expectations, estimates and assumptions and because forward-looking statements address

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This Investor Presentation contains financial measures that are not considered a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting practices
in the United States (“US GAAP”) and should not be considered to be more meaningful than the equivalent US GAAP measure.  Management has included such
measures to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing its operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing
operations.  Additionally, management uses such non-GAAP financial measures for the same purposes.  However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not
prepared in accordance with US GAAP, may not be reported by all of the company’s competitors and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of
competitors due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation.  For additional information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures presented in
this Investor Presentation, including a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the equivalent US GAAP measure, see the sections titled “Definition
and Other Terms” and “Non-US GAAP Financial Measures” included in the company’s Management’s Analysis of Results for the fourth quarter and twelve months
ended 31 March 2015.

These two trends are creating the structural change to increased demand for higher density
living.
Structural change is occurring in the built form, driven by
employment opportunity and lifestyle choices
