Sing Holdings is slated to launch Waterwoods EC (Punggol) in Sep 2013. We have strong reasonsto believe thatit will be successful. Buoyant EC market continues to enjoy strong supply‐demand dynamics. The EC market has continued to be a buoyant one, with two new recent EC launches registering strong interest from
applicants. According to news reports, Ecopolitan, a 512‐unit EC development located at Punggol Way/Punggol Walk, was 2  times oversubscribed at the close of application date 7 July 2013. On the other hand, Lush Acres, a 380‐unit EC project located at Sengkang West Way/Fernvale Link, was 1.6  times oversubscribed since its launch on 13 July 2013. The indicative price ranges for both projects are S$750 to S$800psf.

Potential shortage in launches in the near‐term, due to the new 15‐month rule. In Round 7 ofthe cooling measures, MAS mandated that EC sites can only be launched for sale 15 months from the date of
award or after completion of foundation works, whichever is earlier. Based on feedback from developers, foundation works typically take 9 months to complete. This means that there could potentially be a short period of vacuum of EC launches, depending on the timing of launches of the remaining EC sites that have been tendered out. At the moment, there are 5 sites have yet to be launched for sales, of which Sing Holdings' Waterwoods site is the only one situated at Punggol.

Buy ahead of the successful launch-fair value of S$0.56. Our current RNAV estimates stand at S$0.93, and we value Sing Holdings at 40% discount to RNAV, deriving a fair value of S$0.56. Sing Holdings' current share price of S$0.47 presents a 19% capital appreciation potential. Reiterate BUY.
