INVESTMENT CASE

The Development Company's extensive research shows that a demand for new housing already exists within commuting distance of Halifax - Forest Lakes Country Club will be ideally located within an easy 30 minute drive of the Halifax metro.

There is high demand for new build property within commuting distance to areas with short supply of property and where few new property developments are emerging onto the market. Halifax in Nova Scotia is a primary example of this. The city and its surrounding area is suffering from a shortage of quality accommodation and land designated for new residential development.

Further exacerbating the city’s demand for residential property is the recent announcement that Halifax has won a government shipbuilding contract worth a staggering $25 billion – the largest contract of its type to be awarded in Canada in the last 60 years. The economic impact of such a contract to the Halifax region is significant; between 7,000 and 15,000 new jobs are expected to be created each year for the next 30 years. With the demand for housing about to explode, it is estimated that $80 million will need to be spent on providing homes for Halifax’s population.

The Canadian economy enjoys a healthy position as the world’s 10th biggest nation. Through diligent policies and regulation, Canada has avoided many of the problems that the US has had to face – mountains of public debt, a banking system in crisis, the housing debacle and a weakened currency.

• Canada’s economy, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), is expected to grow at a rate of 2.8% in 2011 and 2.6% in 2012
• Canada has the lowest debt burden of any G7 country, according to the IMF, and less than half the per capita debt burden of the U.S.
• Canada has the soundest financial system in the world, according to a report from the World Economic Forum
• Wealthy oil producing nation

Planning permission was achieved in August 2011. For investors investing under the ‘Enhanced Fixed Return’ Schedule, the Development Company is offering a fixed return of between CAD$44 and CAD$50 per m2 on exit that can be applied to the purchase of any residential building plot or for cash once plot sales commence to the public. This fixed return requires a minimum investment level, details of which can be requested from Landcorp International. The length of time to realise your investment is dependent on which exit option you choose (a building plot or cash). The plot option is estimated to be available in 2012. The cash option could take several years to realise as it is dependent on the rate of real estate sales to the retail market which can be influenced by market conditions. All purchases for ‘Forest Lakes Country Club’ in Nova Scotia, Canada will be in Canadian dollars. The amount of land you will receive is dependent on the exchange rate at the time of completion. Landcorp International is not involved in the investment scheme or the development of the land and only acts as an introducer to development land opportunities. Please note that past performance is not a reliable guide to future performance and the value of your investment may go down as well as up. There are no guarantees that your investment will increase in value. This offer is not available for US and Canadian tax residents.
