LETTER FROM THE BOARD

BUSINESS OF THE TARGET GROUP

The Target Company is an investment holding company. Triumph Consumer Goods Limited is an investment holding company which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Target Company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shenzhen Chong Ruan, is also an investment holding company. It is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise incorporated in PRC. It holds the entire share interest of Beijing Wan Heng Da, a limited liability company incorporated in PRC with the principal business of property investment. The Target Group has only one active business which is engaged in property investments in the PRC. The revenue of the Target Group during the three years ended 31 December 2015 and the six months ended 30 June 2016 were all derived from the rental income and management fee generated from the Beijing Property.

During the three years ended 31 December 2015 and the six months ended 30 June 2016, the revenue of the Target Group was approximately RMB38.5 million, RMB38.8 million, RMB39.6 million and RMB36.7 million respectively, which were all derived from the rental income and management fee generated from Beijing Property held by Beijing Wan Heng Da.

The competitive advantage of Beijing Property

The Beijing Property has two adjacent office towers which have the potential to provide a stable source of white-collar customers.

Beijing Property has a very strong location which is situated within a cluster of residential projects and a number of Grade B office towers. The potential demand from residents living nearby and office workers in the area is strong. It also has convenient access to and from major roads in the area. Although there are many competitors within a 2 km-radius, none of them are strong performers which make it relatively easy to outperform competitors in the area. It is also near several large residential communities including Anhui Beili Community and Xiuyuan Community behind the Beijing Property and Huizhongli Community across the street.

In addition, the development of the Olympic Area leads to a larger consumer base with higher disposable incomes that the Beijing Property may have chance to tap into the rising demand from the growing middle class.

Although the management team of Beijing Property is relatively not experienced that the shopping mall is disrepair and the floors are disordered without any maintenance which fail to attract customers, the Directors consider that the management team of the Target Group can provide more circumspect monitoring and management on the Beijing Property.

As the size of the mall is relatively small, it is easier and faster to lease up and focus on a niche market that suits the demands of the target customer.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Since the Beijing Property is positioned as a wholesale market with domestic unbranded tenants and low-end brands without significant signs or direction boards, it has the potential to lease spaces to other luxury and premium brands with better installations such as set up of enquiry service centre inside the Beijing Property in the future.

Business Model of Beijing Property

Business of Beijing Property

The Target Group has only one investment portfolio, the Beijing Property which is a commercial complex, mainly a shopping mall known as “Pretty Shopping Centre* (飄亮購 物中心)” and is attached to the residential buildings. The Beijing Property was built in 1999 and comprises two-storey and one-level of basement with gross floor area of approximately 40,083.94 square meters. During the three years ended 31 December 2015 and six months period ended 30 June 2016, the rental income and management fee received from Beijing Property was approximately RMB38.6 million, RMB38.8 million, RMB39.6 million and RMB36.7 million respectively which represents all the revenue of Beijing Wan Heng Da during the same period.

Customers

The customers of the Target Group are the tenants of the Beijing Property. Prior to the acquisition of Beijing Wan Heng Da by Mr. Gu in September 2014, Beijing Wan Heng Da was controlled by 16 individual investors. During the prior possession by the previous owners of Beijing Wan Heng Da, the Beijing Property was poorly managed and there were divergent views among the management of the previous owners, as a result, the value of Beijing Property was not fully exploited and rented below the market rate. After change of ownership of Beijing Wan Heng Da to Mr. Gu, Beijing Wan Heng Da commenced to negotiate the lease term and rental rate with a major tenant Tenant A (as defined below) and repossessed an area of about 15,000 square meters which was previously sub-leased by Tenant A to other tenants.

For the three years ended 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015, the tenants of Beijing Property included of Tenant A as the largest tenant of Beijing Property during the period and various small tenants which changed from time to time. After entering into a new lease agreement with Tenant B in 2016 and as at the Latest Practicable Date, there are only two tenants of Beijing Property, Tenant A and Tenant B (as defined below) respectively, who are independent from and not connected with the Group, the Vendor, the Guarantor, the Target Group and their respective associates.

Taking into account of the following factors, including, i) background and reputation of the parent group of Tenant B; ii) the professional experience and track record in property management of Tenant B; and iii) the rental rates of Tenant B are in line with the market range, the management of Beijing Wan Heng Da entered into the lease agreement between Tenant B and Beijing Wan Heng Da in February 2016 under which Tenant B has leased an aggregate area of 25,399.04 square meters for sub-lease to different tenants including chain store of beauty parlour, Japanese restaurant, chain coffee shop, international fast food store, Chinese fast food stores, chain cloth store, cinema and different retail booths in the Beijing Property.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Lease Agreements

Prior to the acquisition of the Beijing Property from previous owners by Foshan Ying Hao Thai, the lease agreements are entered between the previous owners’ companies or Beijing Wan Heng Da among the tenants. After the acquisition of Beijing Wan Heng Da by Foshan Ying Hao Thai, the lease agreements have been renegotiated. As at the Latest Practicable Date, all the lease agreements were entered between Beijing Wan Heng Da and tenants.

The term of lease agreement with Tenant A is 17 years commencing from 1 January 2016 to 12 April 2033 with upward adjustment mechanism. The term of lease agreement with Tenant B is 10 years commencing from 1 May 2016 to 30 April 2026 with upward adjustment mechanism. These two tenants entered into two long term lease agreements with Beijing Wan Heng Da for the Beijing Property and both lease agreements will continue to be enforceable upon Completion and will not be affected by the Acquisition.

Taking into account of average rental of similar properties in the same location in between RMB240-RMB360, the Directors note that there is a difference of approximately RMB316.02 per square meter in the average monthly rental rate per square meter between the two leases with Tenant A (approximately RMB61.29 per square meter) and Tenant B (approximately RMB377.31 per square meter) respectively. The Vendor advised that the management of the Target Group has taken into account of the following consideration when entered into the lease agreement with Tenant A. Firstly, Tenant A operates the supermarket operation under an international brand. The management of the Target Group considers that it will attract more customers to the shopping mall and the Beijing Property and the Target Group will be benefited as a whole; secondly, Tenant A leased the area in the basement of the Beijing Property which is a position inferior to the area leased by Tenant B in the first and second floor of the Beijing Property; thirdly, the lease agreement with Tenant A has a longer term and will be expired on 12 April 2033. After careful consideration, the Directors concur with the management of Target Group that the renewal of the lease agreement between Beijing Wan Heng Da and Tenant A is in the interest of Beijing Wan Heng Da as the lease agreement secures a stable long term return to Beijing Wan Heng Da, otherwise it may not be in the interest of the Target Group if there is a long vacant period of the area leased by Tenant A in Beijing Property. In order to maximize the return of the Beijing Property, the management of the Target Group will consider to recruit new tenant(s) when appropriate tenant(s) are available. The management of the Target Group will exercise careful consideration in case of terminating the lease agreement with Tenant A before it expires.

– 20 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors also note that the rental income of Beijing Property is mainly derived from Tenant B which contributed to approximately 85% of the total rental income of Beijing Property for the year ending 31 December 2016 and the valuation of the Beijing Property is based on the existing lease agreements of the Target Group. In this regard, the management of the Target Group has considered the following factors. Firstly, the lease agreement entered between Beijing Wan Heng Da and Tenant B that Tenant B has committed full rental payment regardless of the occupancy rate for the rental area occupied by Tenant B. In addition, the management of the Target Group had carefully assessed the background, reputation and track record of Tenant B as disclosed above before entering into the lease agreement with Tenant B. Furthermore, the Target Group closely monitored the rental payment and operation performance of Tenant B and will take remedial measures if necessary when the rental payments are delayed or in default. These measures, among others, include forfeiture of the rental deposit of RMB20.0 million, terminating the lease agreement and finding replacement tenants or qualified property service companies immediately. Since the lease agreement with Tenant B initiated in May 2016, Tenant B has been in full compliance with the lease agreement and paying the rentals on time. Also, the management of the Target Group continuously monitors the background of the sub-tenants of Tenant B. The Target Group’s management believes that by entering into the lease agreement with Tenant B, Beijing Wan Heng Da could leverage the expertise of Tenant B in the property management and focus its own resources of the Target Group on the long term business planning and development.

Credit control

The rental income of the Target Group is received through bank transfer from the tenants who usually pay in advance of each month and payable within 15 days from commencement each month. The accounting department of the Target Group conducts regular reviews on the tenants’ payment history and overdue payments (if any). The accounting department will issue rental invoice to the tenants and follow up with the tenants on their proper payment of rental. Overdue note will be issued to the tenants if any outstanding rental has been overdue for more than 7 days. The sales and marketing staff will follow up with such tenant(s) if rental payment has been overdue and require the tenant(s) to arrange payment for the outstanding amount immediately. If the tenant(s) still has not settled the outstanding rental within 30 days from the issue of overdue note, the accounting department will advise the management of the Target Group to take legal action against such tenant(s).

Suppliers

The principal business of the Target Group is property investment for rental income. Except for the property management services provided by Service Provider A, the Target Group does not have any other main suppliers or distributors. Service Provider A is principally engaged in the provision of property management services and is an Independent Third Party of the Group and the Target Group. It is responsible for the provision of maintenance, security and cleaning services to the Beijing Property. The service agreement with Service Provider A was entered into between Beijing Wa Heng Da

– 22 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

and Service Provider A on 1 May 2013 for a service period from 1 May 2013 to 17 March 2017. Although Service Provider A is the only service provider to the Beijing Property, the directors of the Target Group consider that the Target Group will not encounter any difficulties to seek for another similar service provider if the service agreement will not be renewed upon expiry.

During 2013 to 2015, the entire property management fee charged by Service Provider A was borne by the tenants, Beijing Wan Heng Da collected property management fee from the tenants on Service Provider A’s behalf and delivers the cash received to Service Provider A. Service Provider A issued invoices to the tenants directly and the Target Group acted as an agent to collect property management fee, therefore the Target Group netted off the property management fee received from tenants with those paid to Service Provider A. During 2016, two new rental agreements were entered into with Tenant A and Tenant B. The rental income from Tenant A and Tenant B were negotiated on a gross basis. Tenant A and Tenant B did not bear any additional property management fee. The Service Provider A charged the property management fee to Beijing Wan Heng Da, and issued the invoices to Beijing Wan Heng Da instead of the tenants. Beijing Wan Heng Da acted as a principal and therefore recognised revenue and property management fee on a gross basis.

The service fee to Service Provider A contributed approximately 56% of the Target Group’s administrative expenses for the six months period ended 30 June 2016.

Sales and Marketing

The management of the Target Group is responsible for recruitment of potential tenants to the Beijing Property. Although there is no public promotion or advertisement on the Beijing Property, the Beijing Property is already a well-known shopping mall and located at the prime location in Beijing. Enquiries for renting shopping areas in the Beijing Property are received occasionally. The management of the Target Group will also consider referral by Independent Third Party when appropriate tenants are introduced. In considering the acceptance of new tenants, the management of the Target Group will consider the reputation, offer rents and the market strategy of the tenant.

Legal Compliance

Save as disclosed below, as advised by the Company’s PRC legal advisers, the Target Group has obtained the relevant approvals, permits, licences and certificates for conducting its businesses in the PRC in all material respects and the PRC legal advisers are not aware of any violation of the applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations in all material respects by the Target Group during the three years ended 31 December 2015 and up to the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RISK IN RELATION TO THE BUSINESS OF THE TARGET GROUP

Reliance of single asset and income from Beijing Property

The Beijing Property is the only asset and single income source of the Target Group. The Directors expect that the Target Group will continue to derive all the revenue from the Beijing Property. The Directors and management of the Target Group has no intention to diversify the business of Target Group and has no planning to expand the asset portfolio of the Target Group. There is no assurance that the value of the Beijing Property will be stable which will be subject to the volatile market conditions of the PRC. The lack of diversify asset base causes the Target Group’s reliance on single asset and income source which will impose risk to the business of the Target Group in case of any factor which may have material adverse impact to the Beijing Property and there is no assurance that the Target Group would enjoy benefits from the future growth of the property market in the PRC.

Reliance of rental income from two tenants of Beijing Property

The income of Beijing Property is derived from the rental income from the tenants of the Beijing Property. In particular, the Beijing Property is currently leased to only two tenants for the entire floor area of the Beijing Property. There is no guarantee that the tenants will renew the tenancy agreements upon the expiry of the respective tenancy agreements or they will renewed in a timely manner or they may early terminate the respective tenancy agreements before the expiry of the tenancy agreements. The results of operation of the Target Group may be adversely affected if any one of tenants move out from the Beijing Property and the Target Group have to look for new tenants for such vacant area in the Beijing Property and may not guarantee to obtain a better terms of leasing from the new tenant(s).

The Target Group recorded net current liabilities as at 31 December 2015 and 30 June 2016 and any failure to manage the cash flows and liquidity prudently may materially and adversely affect the results of operations of the Target Group

As at 31 December 2015 and 30 June 2016, the Target Group recorded current liabilities of approximately RMB200.2 million and RMB1,535.1 million respectively, which was primarily caused by amount due to Foshan Ying Hao Thai at approximately RMB190.4 million at the year ended 31 December 2015 and dividends payable to Foshan Ying Hao Thai and Consideration payable for business combination under common control of approximately RMB930.0 million and RMB570.0 million respectively at 30 June 2016. The Target Group’s ability to repay its debts when they fall due relies heavily on its future operating cash flow and its ability to obtain the bank loans and other borrowings.

The net current liability position in 2015 of approximately RMB190.1 million may impair the Target Group’s ability to make necessary capital expenditures, develop business opportunities or make strategic acquisitions. There is no assurance that the Target Group’s business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations in future to meet its liabilities when they fall due and to make necessary capital expenditure. This would materially and adversely affect the Target Group’s operations and prevent itself from successfully implementing its business strategies.

– 28 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Financial performance of the Target Group may be affected by the appraisal value of the investment properties

During the three years ended 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015 and the six months period ended 30 June 2016, the change in fair value of the investment properties of the Target Group had significantly affect the profit and loss of the Target Group. The decreases in fair value of investment properties for the three years ended 31 December 2015 were approximately 119.3%, 60.0% and 61.1% of the losses of the Target Group in those respective years. The increase in fair value of investment properties for the six months period ended 30 June 2016 was approximately 130.6% of the profit of the Target Group in that period. The fair value of the investment properties is determined and based on the existing tenancy agreements and remaining lease term of the land use rights of the Beijing Property. There is no assurance that the appraised value of the investment properties will be favourable to the financial performance of the Target Group. The financial performance of the Target Group may be adversely affected by the changes in the fair value of the Beijing Property.

Finance costs may increase in the future

As at 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015 and 30 June 2016, the Target Group’s bank loans were amounting to RMB235.4 million, RMB480.0 million, nil and nil, respectively. The finance costs were approximately 70.7%, 105.3%, 102.5% and nil of revenue of the Target Group in these periods. As the finance cost of the Target Group amounted to a large proportion to the revenue of the Target Group for the three years ended 31 December 2015, any increase in the interest rates may increase the interest expenses of the Target Group and such increase in the finance cost of the Target Group may outpace the revenue growth hence the profitability of the Target Group may be materially and adversely affected or fluctuated. Although the Target Group obtained a loan for the amount of RMB1.5 billion at the interest rate and fee of 6.5% per annum, there is no guarantee that the Target Group will be able to extend the loan in future or obtain the same interest rate or terms of loan at the maturity of the loan.

Competition from other shopping malls in Beijing

A shopping mall boom in the suburban market in the PRC has given way to rapid mall growth in suburbs over the last two years. The business prospects of the Target Group will be affected by the attractiveness of the Beijing Property and competition from other shopping malls surrounding to the Beijing Property. The Beijing Property is situated in an area composed of commercial and residential districts in Chaoyang District, Beijing which is known as Asia Olympic Game Golden Business Circle. Therefore, the Beijing Property will compete with other shopping malls or department stores nearby. In case of any change in the visitors flowrate in the area, it will affect the attractiveness of the Beijing Property. The tenants may request for early termination of the tenancy agreements before they expire if the visitors flow rate of the Beijing Property is adversely affected, then the business prospects, results and operation of the Target Group will be severely affected.

– 29 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Land use right in the PRC is not perpetual

The Beijing Property is subject to land use rights which will expire on either 12 April 2033 or 12 April 2043 for commercial usage. It remains uncertain as to whether the land use rights can be extended when they expire. If the Target Group is required to make substantial payment to renew these land use rights, the financial condition may be materially and adversely affected. If the Target Group is unable to renew these land use rights, the value of the Beijing Property will be severely affected or totally being written off. In turn, the business prospects and result of operations of the Target Group will be materially and adversely affected.

Reliance on a few key personnel

The Target Group has relied on a few key personnel in its operation. The loss of services of any of these key personnel without an effective succession plan or a suitable or timely replacement or inability to attract, recruit and retain key management or personnel of high-calibre for any reason may adversely affect the operation of the Target Group and, hence, the revenue and profits of the Target Group.

The Target Group is subject to the regulations and tax in the PRC

The operation of the Target Group is primarily located at the PRC which is subject to the PRC laws, regulations and taxes. Any change of laws, regulations and taxes may affect the property markets in the PRC and the business of the Target Group. As the income of the Target Group is all derived from the Beijing Property in the PRC, the income of Beijing Property will be subject to withholding tax when such income is remitted to outside of the PRC. Any change of the withholding tax rate will affect the income to be remitted to the Group.

Natural disasters, fire or destructive event may affect the operation of Beijing Property

Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, severe weather conditions or other catastrophic events, natural or not, may severely affect the region or districts where the Beijing Property locates at. As the Beijing Property is the only investment property of the Target Group and the Target Group relies on the rental income derived from the Beijing Property, any fire or destructive event that may affect the operation of the Beijing Property will impose significant adverse impact to the business and income of the Target Group. Any catastrophic event resulting therefrom could have material adverse effect on the business prospects, financial condition and results of operation of the Target Group. As the Target Group may not be adequately prepared in terms of contingency plan or having recovery capabilities in place to deal with such incident or crisis, the operation of the Target Group would be adversely and materially affected.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RISKS IN RELATION TO THE PROPERTY INVESTMENT

Properties investments are illiquid

Properties investment is generally illiquid. The Target Group may not be able to realise the investment in the Beijing Property in response to the changing economic, financial and investment conditions. The Target Group may not be able to sell the Beijing Property at the price or the terms satisfactorily if the Directors intend to realise the investment in the Target Group. Also, the sale of the Beijing Property may subject to the lease agreements signed which may have to obtain consent from or pay termination fees to the tenants.

The PRC property market is heavily regulated and subject to introduction of new regulations

The PRC government exerts considerable direct and indirect influence on the growth and development of the PRC property market through government policies and other economic measures such as setting interest rates, controlling the supply of credit by changing bank reserve ratios and implementing lending restrictions, increasing tax and stamp duties on property transfers and imposing foreign investment and currency exchange restrictions. In case, the PRC Government implemented further tightening measures to restrain the PRC property market or introduced new policies that may affect the leasing market at the national, provincial, municipal and/or local levels, the prospects of the Target Group may be adversely affected.

RISKS RELATING TO THE PRC

The Target Group’s business may be affected by the economic, political and social conditions as well as government policies in the PRC

The political, economic and social conditions in the PRC differ from those in other developed countries in many aspects, including but not limited to structure, government involvement, level of development, economic growth rate, control of foreign exchange, capital reinvestment, allocation of resources and trade balance position. The PRC Government continues to play a significant role in regulating industrial development, the allocation of natural resources and production, pricing and management of currency. There is no assurance that the PRC Government will continue to pursue a policy of economic reform or that the direction of reform will continue to be favourable to its business.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Target Group’s business may be affected by the changes in the PRC foreign exchange regulations

Although Renminbi has been included in the Special Drawing Rights basket of the International Monetary Fund since 1 October 2016, the PRC Government imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies. As all of the Target Group’s revenue is denominated in RMB, the Target Group’s revenue is primarily derived from dividend payments from the Beijing Property, which must convert their RMB earnings into foreign currency before they may pay cash dividends to the Company or repay foreign currency denominated obligations. Since the Target Group’s subsidiaries are foreign investment enterprises in the PRC, they are permitted to convert RMB into foreign currencies through designated foreign exchange banks. However, there is no assurance that the Target Group is able to pay dividends in foreign currency under the current foreign exchange control system in the PRC.

The Target Group’s business may be affected by the uncertainty in the interpretation of PRC laws and regulations

The Target Group’s business is conducted within the PRC and is governed by PRC laws and regulations. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes, and prior court decisions can only be cited as reference and are non-binding. The PRC Government has promulgated laws and regulations in relation to economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organisation and governance, commerce, taxation and trade, with a view to developing a comprehensive system of commercial law. However, due to the fact that these laws and regulations have not been fully developed, and because of the limited volume of published cases which have limited precedential value, interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations involve a degree of uncertainty. In addition, any litigation in the PRC may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of the Target Group’s resources and management attention. All these uncertainties may cause difficulties in the enforcement of the Target Group’s entitlements under its permits, and other statutory and contractual rights and interests.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FUTURE PLAN OF THE TARGET GROUP

Based on the Vendor’s information and save for the outstanding liabilities and loans of the Target Group, no further capital commitment is required for the Target Group. The Directors intend to acquire the Target Group, i.e. the Beijing Property, for long term investment until appropriate opportunity to realise this investment arises. The Group has no current intention to acquire additional properties in the PRC through the Target Group. However, the Directors may review and assess the status of the Beijing Property and may refurnish the Beijing Property, if necessary, upon the Completion.

The Company intends to acquire the Target Group for long term investment and continue the existing business model of the Target Group after the Completion. It is the intention of the Board to diversify the Group’s current business by the generation of stable return and cash flows to the Group. The Board considers that the Acquisition represents an excellent opportunity for the Group to explore and invest in the PRC property market given Beijing is the capital city of the PRC plus a stable cash income stream to the Group is incurred immediately after Completion. Therefore, the Board considers that the Acquisition is in line with the investment strategy of the Group as mentioned above and it is an appropriate expansion for the development of the Group’s business which should not be considered as fundamental change in the Group’s principal business as a result of the Acquisition.

FUTURE INTENTION OF THE GROUP

The Directors have no intention to dispose or terminate or reduce scale of the existing principal business of the Group. Save as the Acquisition and the sale and purchase agreement of the Group entered on 20 November 2015, the Directors confirm that the Group does not have any property acquisition undergoing nor acquired and the Group has no intention on purchasing any property in Hong Kong or the PRC as at the Latest Practicable Date. Although the Acquisition is a one-off transaction and the Directors have no intention to change the Group’s core business focus into property investments, the Directors will consider other property investments opportunity if it is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, it is one of the conditional precedents before the Completion that the Reorganisation having been completed (including but not limited to the grant of bank loans to the Target Group to repay the outstanding amount due to Foshan Ying Hao Thai after the Reorganisation, release the joint guarantee of Beijing Wan Heng Da and the asset pledge Beijing Property).

Enlarged
The Group Target Group Group
(unaudited)
Gearing ratio 1.36 9.60 4.67
Current ratio 1.15 0.04 1.18
Quick ratio 0.84 0.04 0.89
Return on equity 0.10 N/A 0.44
Return on total assets 0.05 N/A 0.08
Debt-to-equity 0. 80 9.41 4.25
Interest coverage 10.17 N/A 6.09

Notes:

  1. Gearing ratio is calculated by dividing total debt (i.e. total liability) by total equity.

  2. Current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.

  3. Quick ratio is calculated by dividing current asset (net of inventories) by current liabilities.

  4. Return on equity is calculated by dividing net profit of the financial years by total equity as at the financial year ended 31 December 2015.

  5. Return on total assets is calculated by dividing net profit of the financial years by total asset as at the financial year ended 31 December 2015.

  6. Debt-to-equity ratio is calculated by dividing net debt (borrowings including amounts due to related companies, amounts due to directors, bank borrowings and obligation under finance lease net of cash and cash equivalent) by total equity as at the end of the financial years.

  7. Interest coverage is calculated by profit before interest and tax divided by net financial costs.

Gearing ratio – the gearing ratio of the Target Group is relative high due to the equity of the Target Group is primarily the reserve arisen from the recognition of negative goodwill from the Acquisition. As such, the gearing ratio of the Enlarged Group will be increased from 1.36 to 4.67 upon Completion.

Current ratio – the current ratio of the Target Group is relative high due to the outstanding amount due to Foshan Ying Hao Thai is classified as current liabilities. Upon Completion, the amount due to Foshan Ying Hao Thai will be replaced by the entrusted loan which will be classified as non-current liabilities. As a result, the current ratio of the Enlarged Group will only slightly increase from 1.15 to 1.18 upon Completion.

Quick ratio – the quick ratio of the Target Group is relative high for the same reason explained as above. Upon Completion, the quick ratio of the Enlarged Group will improved from 0.84 to 0.89 after inclusion of the cash balance of the Target Group.

Return on equity – due to the operating loss of the Target Group for the year ended 31 December 2015, the return on equity of the Target Group is not available. However, with the recognition of negative goodwill from the Acquisition, the return on equity of the Enlarged Group will be increased from 0.10 to 0.44 which assuming the Acquisition was completed on 1 January 2015.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Return on total assets – due to the operating loss of the Target Group for the year ended 31 December 2015, the return on total assets of the Target Group is not available. As the same reason for return on equity, with the recognition of negative goodwill from the Acquisition, the rate of return on total assets of the Enlarged Group will be increased from 0.05 to 0.08 which assuming the Acquisition was completed on 1 January 2015.

Debt-to-equity – as the equity of the Target Company is primarily the reserve from the recognition of negative goodwill, the gearing ratio and debt-to-equity of the Target Group is relative high. The debt-to-equity of the Enlarged Group is expected to be increased from 0.80 to 4.25 upon Completion.

Interest coverage – due to the operating loss of the Target Group for the year ended 31 December 2015, the interest coverage of the Target Group is not available for the year. Taking into account of the gains from the recognition of negative goodwill from the Acquisition, the Enlarged Group will record an operating profit in approximately HK$329.6 million which assuming the Acquisition was completed on 1 January 2015. As a result, the interest coverage of the Enlarged Group will decrease from 10.17 to 6.09 upon Completion. Although the operating profit of the Target Group is mostly derived from the negative goodwill, the management of the Target Group consider that the Target Group will be able to cover its interest expense which has taking into account of the fact that the new lease agreements have improved the rental income of the Target Group and the financing cost of the Group was fixed at 6.5% per annum under the entrusted loan.

  • the term of the right to use land for construction for residential purposes shall be automatically renewed upon expiration. The term of the right to use land for construction not for residential purposes shall be renewed according to law. Where there are stipulations about the ownership of houses and other real properties on the aforesaid land, such stipulations shall prevail; if there is

no such stipulation or the stipulations are not explicit, the ownership shall be determined according to the provisions in the laws and administrative regulations; and

  • the owner of a building may manage the building and its affiliated facilities themselves or by entrusting a real property service enterprise or any other management personnel. The owners are entitled to change the real property service enterprise or any other management personnel hired by the construction entity according to law.

Beijing’s economy ranks among the most developed and prosperous city in the PRC and its GDP reached RMB2.3 trillion in 2015. However, given the economic slowdown nationwide, Beijing’s real GDP growth decreased from 10.3% in 2010 to 6.9% in 2015 over the past five years. It is further expected to be slowed down to 4.6% over the next five years.

As Beijing is one of the prosperous city in the PRC, retail sales in Beijing are stronger than retail sales in the whole country in the PRC. Total retail sales in PRC reached RMB1.1 trillion in 2015. Following a peak in annual sales growth at 15.2% in 2013, the growth rate decreased significantly to 8.6% in 2014 before rebounding to 11.0% in 2015. However, retail sales growth in Beijing and the PRC are expected to drop again over the next five years.

The PRC Office Pricing Index grew significantly at the end of stimulus period (i.e. 2010 to 2011), driven by strong demand for office space and factoring in inflation. Meanwhile, the Pricing Index for PRC tier 2 cities fluctuated at around 100 due to oversupply, which is a common trend for smaller cities in PRC.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Office prices in Beijing, compared to pricing on the national index, grew more significantly during the stimulus era because of the strong demand for office space in the post-Olympic period. In the post-stimulus period, property prices in Beijing have continued to grow due to the rise of land prices and the limited supply of commercial properties for sale in the market.

Source: JLL Research
----- End of picture text -----

Yields of tier 1 cities in the PRC are expected to remain stable in the coming few years. However, several factors could cause the yield of Beijing’s shopping mall to decompress slightly over the next five years. Firstly, an increase in domestic capital seeking worthwhile investments is expected, with interest mainly coming from insurance companies and pension funds. Secondly, the slowing economy means that slower growth in consumption power and lower rental growth will be resulted, which will ultimately give pressure to yields, causing it to rise slightly in the future.

Commercial properties in Beijing

In general, properties are classified into two categories: commercial properties and non-commercial properties. Commercial properties can be further divided into office, retail properties, industrial properties, hotels and hospitality, and other properties.

Commercial properties in Beijing can also be categorized base on three definitions. Firstly, the commercial properties can be defined as hyper shopping centre with size more than 200,000 square meters, large shopping centre with size that is between 100,000 to 200,000 square meters, and medium shopping centre with size below 100,000 square meters. Alternatively, it can be sub-divided into luxury brands dominated property, premium brands dominated property and mid-range and mass-range dominated property. Lastly, it can be classified as urban shopping centre and suburban shopping centre.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Overview of the Beijing Retail Property Market

1. Demand of Retail Property

Since more innovative retail properties may be resulted as a response to threats from online, outlets, and overseas shopping, more hybrid stores will be established in the market, particularly in the urban market. Hybrid stores is likely to be more attractive to the customers and motivates them to spendmore while they were not intended to buy at first.

Meanwhile, Food and Beverage and Kids shops remain the main demand drivers for Beijing retails. These sectors tend to be more experience-driven, and as such, are less likely to be affected by the fast-growing Onilne to Offline market. For example, at newly opened suburban malls, Food and Beverage and Kids shops can be in total up to half of a property’s floor space. Fast Fashion and lifestyle brands are also popular. Fashion, meanwhile, is likely to continue to face pressure from online shopping, while the luxury sector continues to recover from the anti-corruption drive and the rebalancing of overseas retail pricing against domestic retail prices.

2. Supply of Retail Property

Development restrictions on the construction of new malls and department stores within the core six districts in Beijing had significantly limited the number of retail properties in the future. Facing the future changes to regulation, developers and operators are only likely to be able to upgrade or convert existing property instead of building a new property after 2020. Therefore, the Suburban market will be a key contributor to future supply.

3. Rents of Retail Property

The rental income of retail property is expected to be flat for the coming years as conditions and fundamentals are not expected to change. Though the economic growth of nearby provinces is not expected to be rebounded, the situation in Beijing should hold steady due to the influx of infrastructure-related stimulus imposed by the government. However, at the same time, slow economic growth and fierce competition in the market coupled with added pressure from mass and mid-range suburban malls will continue to restrain the growth in the urban market. In the coming years, rents for the urban market are expected to be growing slowly at around 2% per annum from 2016 to 2020 under the weak retail environment.

Over the forecast horizon, i.e. 2016 to 2020, more landlords are likely to adopt flexible rental terms with lower base rents and higher sales percentages, which allows the tenant to reduce risks when they spend more upfront on fit-out and operations, particularly for hybrid stores.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

4. Investment of Retail Property

Due to the risky nature of retail, investors such as core funds or insurance companies are now more interested in pursuing opportunities that offer stability and income security under the current environment instead of chasing opportunistic assets which sit higher on the risk-reward spectrum. On the sell side, meanwhile, there are fewer suitable properties for investors being put on the market, making it harder for investors to find appropriate assets for investment.

The rental of retail properties continued to grow in tier 1 cities across the PRC because it is supported by the rising income of the local residents. In tier 2 cities, the rental trend was more volatile due to oversupply in many cities and many new market entrants opened in decentralised locations in the PRC.

– 62 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

However, rental growth in Beijing is expected to retard to around 2% to 3% per year in the future. First reason is that the rise of e-commerce now accounts for 20% of total retail sales, which is the double of the national average, and is expected to grow in double-digits. Online growth has significantly impacted sales for fashion and accessories tenants, which traditionally pay the highest rents at shopping malls. However, a larger number of the tenants abovementioned faced significant decreases in revenues. Their rental affordability has dropped and it will be difficult for most of them to continue paying high rents. While some landlords have increased the percentage of Food and Beverage and Kids brands to replace the declining number of fashion tenants, they have a lower rental affordability than the fashion tenants. In addition, the rise of suburban shopping centres means that residents outside the city centre have more options which may be closer to their homes. Many suburban projects now offer the same or similar tenant than many mid-range urban shopping malls. This intensify the competition is likely to lead to a slower rental growth in the urban market in the future.

According to Beijing’s Catalogue for the Prohibition and Restriction of Newly Increased Industries (2015 Edition), the city has different regulations on retail properties for different districts detailed as below:

  • Dongcheng District and Xicheng District (capital core function districts): the construction of retail properties larger than 10,000 square meter net leasable area (“ NLA ”) is prohibited.

  • Chaoyang District, Haidian District, Fengtai District and Shijingshan District (city function expansion areas): (i) Within the East, West and North Fourth Ring and the South Third Ring, the construction of retail properties larger than 10,000 square meter NLA is prohibited; and (ii) Within the East, West and North Fifth Ring and South Fourth Ring, the construction of large-scale public buildings, such as hotels and office buildings, is prohibited, except for high-end industry areas.

The regulations mostly influence the unsold lands. In reality, unsold land that allows developers to design retail properties with area larger than 10,000 square meter NLA is rare in the market. Therefore, the impact of the regulations is insignificant. Given that the Beijing’s Catalogue for the Prohibition and Restriction of Newly Increased Industries is updated annually, the regulations are likely to change in the future which provide uncertainties to the leasing activity.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. Indirect policy impact:

Beijing’s strict control over population growth stated in the 13th Five-Year Plan may have a negative impact on the local retail industry. The fast growth of Beijing’s resident population has been a strain on resources. In order to manage the situation in a better way, several population control targets have been set by the Beijing government.

Despite the plan mentioned above, there is still a potential for Beijing’s overall permanent resident population to grow over the next five years. However, population growth in the six core urban districts will be strictly controlled by redistributing the existing populations in these areas by the government. Therefore, the permanent resident population in these core districts is expected to decrease significantly in the future, which is expected to have a negative impact on retail sales in these areas.

Drivers and factors impacting retail property markets in PRC and Beijing

1. The path to a consumption led-economy

The future of PRC’s economic growth will likely rely on its ability to the transition from its current investment-based economy to a consumption-based economy. Many reforms are necessary for this result. It is only the beginning in PRC, the big reforms are still ahead, such as the overhaul of social services, the household registration system, and land reform.

Retail sales growth has consistently outperformed the GDP growth since the financial crisis. It will be a key driver of the development of PRC’s retail real estate market.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. Potential Shopping Centre Customers: the Consumer Class

The growth of the consumer class in PRC (defined by a relatively low income threshold of RMB 30,000 in 2005 terms) is impressive. The consumer class is estimated as the point at which people will begin consuming in modern shopping centres. These consumers are spending at malls now and they will contribute greatly to PRC’s consumption. By 2020, it is expected that large swaths of the country will be full of consumers who will have considerable discretionary income.

3. Demographic Changes

PRC’s population structure is not similar to those of most emerging markets. It has a bulge in the middle of the population. Therefore, it faces the same problem as many developed countries faced, rapidly aging. Generally the population born in pre-1975 is the “Saver Generation”, which means they prefer saving money instead of spending. However, the population born in post-1975 is more consumption-oriented as they had grown up in times of economic boom. Therefore, even as the working population size peaks, the consumer population will still grow by 83% between 2010 and 2020.

4. Wage Income Underpins Consumption Power

Wage growth in PRC appears across white-collar and blue-collar occupations presently. In PRC, there is a strong labour market with low unemployment. Nominal income has been growing 12.9% annually for the last 25 years. Therefore, rising incomes has fuelled strong growth in retail sales.

5. Urbanization is an Important Growth Driver in PRC

Urbanization is the fundamental source of demand for infrastructure, housing, services, and consumer goods. PRC doubled its urbanization rate over 20 years, but still has potential for further development. As people live further from the city centre, they need places closer to where they live to shop. Therefore, rapid urbanization is creating more retail clusters from single-centred cities to multi-centred cities, each of which requires more shopping malls to fulfill their needs.

Competition of shopping malls in Beijing

At the city level, the competition among shopping malls in Beijing is less intensive compared to Shanghai, for which total number of shopping malls is double of that of Beijing. In Beijing, malls in the urban market are increasingly facing pressure from malls in the suburban market. A shopping mall boom in the suburban market has given way to rapid mall growth in the suburbs over the last two years. Recently, several quality projects with reputable mass and mid-range offerings exist in outer locations, giving people more reasons to shop closer to home. At the same time, the overall vacancy rate in the urban market continues to be stable at around 5%. Given the limited new urban supply, the figure is not expected to rise significantly over the coming five years.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Rankings and major competitors of Beijing Property

To analyze the level of competition in the area, eight retail properties within 3 kilometers (“ km ”) of Beijing Property are investigated in the report of JLL. Given that Beijing Property is positioned as a community mall, the catchment area is expected to be within 3 km. Among the eight potential competitors, four of them are department stores, which are Legend Department Store, PRC North Star Shopping Centre, Tianyang Hengrui Plaza and Ito Yakado Department Store. Two of the potential competitors are shopping centres, which are Xin’ao Shopping Centre and a future project, Rijdoj (金泉港). The two remaining projects, which are the 5th Ave. Mall and Wanlong Market, are low-end business markets or wholesale markets.

Each project from 1 to 5 is rated based on ten important factors, including their sizes, locations, transportation, interior layout, exterior design, positioning, tenant mix, operation, services and foot flow.

Beijing Property is rated as the highest for its location as it has two adjacent office towers which have the potential to provide a stable source of white-collar customers. It is also near several large residential communities including Anhui Beili Community and Xiuyuan Community and Huizhongli Community across the street. It is rated 3 for transportation as it is located on a main road, Anli Road which is about 750 meters away from the Anli Road Metro Station on Line 15 and less than 50 meters away to a bus station with 20 bus lines passing by. Additionally, the Beijing Property achieved a score of 3 for external appearance, with a neat rooftop area with greenery, benches and sculptures, which have the potential for renovation to increase the attractiveness to customers.

Among the malls surveyed, Beijing Property is rated as the lowest for both positioning and services. It is positioned as a wholesale market with domestic unbranded tenants and low-end brands. As such, the Directors will review the strategy of Beijing Property after the completion in order to enhance the business and value of the Target Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Group has been focusing on diversifying its business into industries which will generate stable return and cash flows to the Group. Further to the acquisition of an office located in Hong Kong by the Group, which was completed on 27 January 2016 for long term investment purpose and as the permanent head office of the Group in Hong Kong, it is the intention of the Group to diversify the Group’s investment into property investments in the PRC to enhance the property investment portfolio of the Group. Having closely monitored the market environment and business prospects of the property investment business, and having assessed the relevant business risks and potential returns with a view to maximizing returns to Shareholders, the Board considers that it would be in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole for the Group to expand into the property investment business by way of acquiring the Beijing Property. The Board considers that the Acquisition will strengthen the property investment into the principal activities of the Group.

The Board has no intention to dispose of or terminate or reduce the scale of the existing principal business of the Group. The Board considers that the Acquisition represents an excellent opportunity for the Group to explore and invest in the PRC property market given Beijing is the capital city of the PRC which enjoys primary status in the country. Taking into account the potential growth of the PRC property market, the valuation of the Beijing Property of approximately RMB2.14 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$2.50 billion), and having considered that the Acquisition does not involve any immediate substantial cash outflow nor issue of any new Shares or securities, plus a stable cash income stream which will be brought to the Group immediately after Completion which the future development of the Group would clearly be benefited from, the Board is of the view that the Acquisition is a good investment opportunity for the Group to pursue, and believes that the Beijing Property will become an important asset in its property portfolio following Completion. The Board is also confident that the Acquisition would strengthen the Company’s financial position and diversify its income stream in the long run.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the applicable percentage ratios (as calculated in accordance with Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) for the Acquisition are more than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition of the Company under Rule 14.06 of the Listing Rules. It is subject to the reporting, announcement and the Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. According to Rule 14.49 of the Listing Rules, no written shareholders’ approval will be accepted in lieu of holding a general meeting for a transaction constitutes very substantial acquisition.

Financial information of the Group (i) for the six months ended 30 June 2016, is disclosed on pages 2 to 29 of the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2016 released on 21 September 2016; (ii) for the year ended 31 December 2015 is disclosed on pages 37 to 107 of the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2015 released on 26 April 2016; (iii) for the year ended 31 December 2014 is disclosed on pages 33 to 105 of the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014 released on 20 April 2015; and (iv) for the year ended 31 December 2013 is disclosed on pages 32 to 101 of the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2013 released on 15 April 2014, which are available on the website of the Stock Exchange (www.hkexnews.hk) and the website of the Company (http://www.irasia.com/listco/hk/alltronics/index.htm). There was no qualified opinion issued for the audited financial information of the Group for the last three financial years.

Set out below are the management discussion and analysis of the Group as extracted from the interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2016 and annual reports of the Company for each of the three financial years ended 31 December 2015 (the “ Management Discussion and Analysis ”). Terms used below shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Management Discussion and Analysis. Furthermore, all pages/sections/appendices mentioned in the below text are referred to in those of the Management Discussion and Analysis.

For the six months ended 30 June 2016

Total turnover for the six months ended 30 June 2016 (the “ 2016 Interim Period ”) had increased by 8.0% to HK$471.1 million, as compared to HK$436.2 million for the same period in 2015.

Sales of electronic products comprise sales of finished electronic products; plastic moulds and components; and other components for electronic products. The increase in total sales revenue from electronic products was mainly due to the increase in sales of finished electronic products, which had increased from HK$324.6 million in 2015 to HK$351.3 million in 2016. Sales of irrigation controller products to the largest customer of the Group in the United States had increased by approximately HK$30.0 million.

Demand from customers in other geographical locations had remained stable. On the other hand, sales revenue from plastic moulds and components; and other components for electronic products had increased by HK$4.4 million and HK$2.1 million respectively during the 2016 Interim Period.

The sales revenue from biodiesel products had dropped by 34.9%. After the closure of the Group’s biodiesel production facilities located at Tuen Mun since September last year, the revenue from biodiesel business remains at low levels.

– 70 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Regarding the energy saving business segment, total revenue generated during the 2016 Interim Period was HK$3.8 million, as compared to HK$1.1 million in 2015. The total revenue represented mainly the energy saving revenue generated from retail stores of Suning Commerce Group Co., Ltd. (“ Suning ”) and hotels operated by the HNA Group Co., Ltd. with LED lighting equipment installed. During the 2016 Interim Period, the inspection procedures for the LED installation work at a hotel at Beijing operated by HNA Group Co., Ltd. were completed and revenue was generated since January this year. During the 2016 Interim Period, the LED lighting equipment project (“ Suning EMC Project ”) with Suning continued.

In terms of geographical market, the United States continued to be the major market for the Group’s products and accounted for approximately 57.1% of the total turnover for the 2016 Interim Period. Sales to customers in Hong Kong had increased by HK$9.5 million while sales to customers in Europe had decreased by HK$11.2 million. Sales to other geographical locations had remained stable. The Group will continue its efforts to secure new customers in different markets so that the turnover by geographical location can be spread more evenly.

For the year ended 31 December 2015

Total revenue for the year ended 31 December 2015 had decreased by 7.4% to HK$886.3 million, as compared to HK$957.5 million for the year 2014. Sales of electronic products comprise sales of finished electronic products; plastic moulds; plastic and other components for electronic products. The decrease in total sales revenue from electronic products was mainly due to the drop in sales of finished electronic products, which had decreased from HK$711.1 million in 2014 to HK$642.8 million in 2015. This was mainly due to the slowdown of orders from customers in the United States. During the year, the demand for the Group’s major product, irrigation controllers, had decreased by HK$22.9 million. Demand from customers in other geographical locations had remained stable. Total sales of components for electronic products, including transformers and adapters, had decreased from HK$144.5 million in 2014 to HK$141.3 million in 2015. On the other hand, sales revenue from plastic moulds and plastic components for electronic products had increased from HK$67.0 million in 2014 to HK$93.0 million in 2015.

The sales revenue from biodiesel products had dropped by 58.1%. As a result of the continuous drop in the global oil commodity prices, the unit selling price for biodiesel products had also dropped during the year. Furthermore, biodiesel products will be less attractive to customers when oil commodity prices drop and there is less incentive for them to shift to use biodiesel products. During the year of 2015, the Group had ceased to lease the biodiesel production facilities located at Tuen Mun so as to reduce the operating costs for this business segment.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECT OF THE GROUP

The Group will continue to maintain the manufacturing and trading of electronic products, components for electronic products, biodiesel products, and provision of energy saving business solutions as its core business.

In view of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, and fluctuations in the global stock markets and foreign exchange rates, the Group foresees that the global economic environment in the second half of 2016 will remain uncertain. Factors such as the risk of fluctuation of exchange rate of Renminbi against United States dollars and Hong Kong dollars; the consistent upward adjustment on the minimum wage levels in the PRC; and the uncertain consequences of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union will continue to affect the performance of the Group’s electronic products segment. The Group will continue its efforts to tighten controls over production costs and overheads, and to improve production efficiency so as to maximise the gross profit margin.

The demand for the Group’s irrigation controllers and other major electronic products will remain to be strong. On the other hand, some new products are expected to be launched during the last quarter of 2016. The Group has confidence that the overall performance of the electronic business segment will remain strong during the second half of 2016. The Group foresees that United States will still be the major market for its products in 2016. The Group will continue to devote efforts to explore new markets and new customers to broaden its customer base.

Regarding the 49% owned associate established in the PRC for the manufacture and sale of printers and other accessory products, the factory located at Yi Chun had commenced operations in the second half of 2015. However, the contribution from this associate is not expected to be significant for the year 2016.

The demand for the Group’s biodiesel products remained at low levels during the Period and management expects that the revenue from biodiesel products will remain stable during the second half of 2016.

Regarding the Suning EMC Project, the installation work continued during the Period and management expects the Group will complete the installation work at approximately 200 retail stores of Suning during the year 2016. The Group will continue the installation work at other retail stores of Suning in 2017.

As at 30 June 2016, the Group’s net current assets were HK$77.3 million with cash and cash equivalents balance of HK$209.8 million. After the Completion of the Acquisition, the Directors expect that the Group’s financial position shall remain strong and maintain positive net assets value for at least the current financial year ending 31 December 2016.

We have also performed a review of the Interim Comparative Information in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the HKICPA.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON TARGET GROUP

2.1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. All HKFRSs effective for the accounting period commencing from 1 January 2016, have been early adopted by the Target Group in the preparation of the Financial Information throughout the Relevant Periods and in the period covered by the Interim Comparative Information.

The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for Investment properties which have been measured at fair value. The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (“ RMB ”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

As at 31 December 2015 and 30 June 2016, the Target Group had net current liabilities of approximately RMB190,076,000 and RMB1,474,381,000, respectively. The Group’s ability to repay its debts when they fall due relies heavily on its future operating cash flow and its ability to obtain the bank loans and other borrowings. In view of the above, the directors have carefully assessed the Target Group’s liquidity position having taken into account (i) the estimated operating cash inflows of the Target Group for the next twelve months from the end of the current reporting period; and (ii) the new long-term entrusted loan amount of RMB1,500,000,000 obtained in late September 2016. Details of the entrusted loan are set out in note 25 to the financial information.

On the basis of the above consideration, the directors believe that the Target Group can satisfy its financial obligations in the foreseeable future and accordingly, the interim financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis.

Basis of consolidation

The Company has undertaken a series of restructuring steps in 2016. The Reorganisation was completed on 16 June 2016, and the Target Company became the holding company of the companies then comprising the Group on 16 June 2016. Triumph Consumer Goods Limited, Shenzhen Chong Ruan and Beijing Wan Heng Da are under common control of Mr. Guqi after the completion of the Restructuring. On 16 June 2016, Foshan Ying Hao Thai Company Limited (“ Foshan Ying Hao Thai ”), as the ex-shareholder of Beijing Wan Heng Da, has transferred its 100% interest to Shenzhen Chong Ruan with the consideration payable by Shenzhen Chong Ruan amounted to RMB570,000,000.

The Target Company was incorporated on 20 May 2016 and became the holding company of the companies now comprising the Target Group on 16 June 2016. These companies were under the common control of the same controlling shareholder before and after the Reorganisation. Accordingly, for the purpose of this report, the Financial Information has been prepared on a consolidation basis by applying the principles of merger accounting as if the Reorganisation had been completed at the beginning of the Relevant Periods.

The consolidated statement of profit or loss, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the statements of the changes in equity and the statements of cash flows of the Target Group for the Relevant Periods include the results and cash flows of all companies now comprising the Target Group from the earliest date presented or since the date when the subsidiaries first came under the common control of the controlling shareholder, where this is a shorter period. The consolidated statements of financial position of the Target Group as at 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015 and 30 June 2016 have been prepared to present the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries and/or businesses using the existing book values from the controlling shareholder’s perspective. No adjustments are made to reflect fair values, or recognize any new assets or liabilities as a result of the Reorganization.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Target Group for the Relevant Periods. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Target Company, using consistent accounting policies. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Target Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

– I-12 –

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON TARGET GROUP

All intra-Target Group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Target Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

If the Target Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises (i) the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, (ii) the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest and (iii) the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity; and recognises (i) the fair value of the consideration received, (ii) the fair value of any investment retained and (iii) any resulting surplus or deficit in profit or loss. The Target Group’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss or retained profits, as appropriate, on the same basis as would be required if the Target Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

2.2. ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

The Target Group has not applied the following new and revised HKFRSs, that have been issued but are not yet effective, in the financial statements.

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments[1] HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers[1] HKFRS 16 Lease[2]

1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018

2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019

Further information about those HKFRSs is as follows:

In September 2014, the HKICPA issued the final version of HKFRS 9, bringing together all phases of the financial instruments project to replace HKAS 39 and all previous versions of HKFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting.

HKFRS 15 establishes a new five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under HKFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in HKFRS 15 provide a more structured approach for measuring and recognising revenue. The standard also introduces extensive qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements, including disaggregation of total revenue, information about performance obligations, changes in contract asset and liability account balances between periods and key judgements and estimates. The standard will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under HKFRSs. In September 2015, the HKICPA issued an amendment to HKFRS 15 regarding a one-year deferral of the mandatory effective date of HKFRS 15 to 1 January 2018.

HKFRS 16 introduces a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and accounting treatments for both lessors and lessees. It distinguishes leases and service contracts on the basis of whether an identified asset is controlled by a customer. Subject to limited exceptions for short term leases and low value assets, distinctions of operating and finance leases are removed for lessee accounting, and is replaced by a model where a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability have to be recognised for all leases by lessees. However, the standard does not significantly change the accounting of lessors.

The Target Group is in the process of making an assessment of the impact of these new and revised HKFRSs upon initial application, but is not in a position to state whether these new and revised HKFRSs will have a significant impact on the Target Group’s results of operations and financial position.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON TARGET GROUP

2.3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Target Company. Control is achieved when the Target Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the Target Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).

When the Target Company has, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Target Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

  • (a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;

  • (b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

  • (c) the Target Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Target Company’s investments in subsidiaries that are not classified as held for sale in accordance with HKFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for sale and Discontinued Operations are stated at cost less any impairment loss.

Business combinations and goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred is measured at the acquisition date fair value which is the sum of the acquisition date fair values of assets transferred by the Target Group, liabilities assumed by the Target Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Target Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. For each business combination, the Target Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of net assets in the event of liquidation at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

When the Target Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts of the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previously held equity interests, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Target Group reassesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the re-assessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in profit or loss.

– I-14 –

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON TARGET GROUP

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Target Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 December. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Target Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Target Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit (or Target Group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on the disposal. Goodwill disposed of in these circumstances is measured based on the relative value of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Fair value measurement

The Target Group measures its investment properties at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Target Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Target Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 – based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly Level 3 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Target Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than inventories, financial assets and investment properties), the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determined for

– I-15 –

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON TARGET GROUP

an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to the statement of profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation/amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an impairment loss is credited to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period in which it arises.

Related parties

A party is considered to be related to the Target Group if:

  • (a) the party is a person or a close member of that person’s family and that person

  • (i) has control or joint control over the Target Group;

  • (ii) has significant influence over the Target Group; or

  • (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Target Group or of a parent of the Target Group;

  • (iv) one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity;

  • (v) the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Target Group or an entity related to the Target Group;

  • (vi) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a);

  • (vii) a person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity); and

– I-16 –

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON TARGET GROUP

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost (or valuation) less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.

Expenditure incurred after items of property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to the statement of profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where the recognition criteria are satisfied, the expenditure for a major inspection is capitalised in the carrying amount of the asset as a replacement. Where significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Target Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of property, plant and equipment to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are as follows:

Furniture, fittings and other equipment 9% to 20%

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of that item is allocated on a reasonable basis among the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Residual values, useful lives and the depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each financial year end.

An item of property, plant and equipment including any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset.

Investment properties

Investment properties are interests in land and buildings (including the leasehold interest under an operating lease for a property which would otherwise meet the definition of an investment property) held to earn rental income and/or for capital appreciation, rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or for sale in the ordinary course of business. Such properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the end of the reporting period.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the profit or loss in the year in which they arise.

Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the year of the retirement or disposal.

For a transfer from investment properties to owner-occupied properties or inventories, the deemed cost of a property for subsequent accounting is its fair value at the date of change in use. If a property occupied by the Group as an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under “Property, plant and equipment and depreciation” up to the date of change in use, and any difference at that date between the carrying amount and the fair value of the property is accounted for as a revaluation.

– I-17 –

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON TARGET GROUP

Operating leases

Leases that transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets to the Target Group, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases. At the inception of a finance lease, the cost of the leased asset is capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments and recorded together with the obligation, excluding the interest element, to reflect the purchase and financing. Assets held under capitalised finance leases, including prepaid land lease payments under finance leases, are included in property, plant and equipment, and depreciated over the shorter of the lease terms and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The finance costs of such leases are charged to the statement of profit or loss so as to provide a constant periodic rate of charge over the lease terms.

Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Where the Target Group is the lessor, assets leased by the Target Group under operating leases are included in non-current assets, and rentals receivable under the operating leases are credited to the statement of profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms. Where the Target Group is the lessee, rentals payable under operating leases net of any incentives received from the lessor are charged to the statement of profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Investments and other financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial investments, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets, except in the case of financial assets recorded at fair value through profit or loss.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is, the date that the Target Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less any allowance for impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in other income and gains in the statement of profit or loss. The loss arising from impairment is recognised in the statement of profit or loss in finance costs for loans and in other expenses for receivables.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Target Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when:

  • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

  • the Target Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON TARGET GROUP

delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Target Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Target Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Target Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the Target Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Target Group’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Target Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Target Group has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Target Group could be required to repay.

Impairment of financial assets

The Target Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Impairment exists if one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that a debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

Financial assets carried at amortised cost

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Target Group first assesses whether impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Target Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

The amount of any impairment loss identified is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition).

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Loans and receivables together with any associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realised or has been transferred to the Target Group.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to other expenses in the statement of profit or loss.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON TARGET GROUP

Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. A financial guarantee contract is recognised initially as a liability at its fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group measures the financial guarantee contract at the higher of: (i) the amount of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period; and (ii) the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Target Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, an amount due to the ultimate holding company and interest-bearing bank and other borrowings.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON TARGET GROUP

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired, less bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Target Group’s cash management.

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of financial position, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at banks, including term deposits, and assets similar in nature to cash, which are not restricted as to use.

Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the Target Group operates.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

  • when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax

– I-21 –

APPENDIX I

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON TARGET GROUP

assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Target Group and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following bases:

  • (a) rental income, on a time proportion basis over the lease terms;

  • (b) interest income, on an accrual basis using the effective interest method by applying the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, when appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Retirement benefits

The employees of the Target Group’s subsidiaries which operate in Mainland China are covered by government-regulated defined contribution retirement benefit schemes under which the employees are entitled to a monthly pension. The Target Group contributes a percentage of the employees’ salaries to these retirement benefit schemes on a monthly basis. Under these schemes, the Target Group has no legal obligation for retirement benefits beyond the contributions made. Contributions to these schemes are expensed as incurred.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, i.e., assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. The capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Dividends

Final dividends are recognised as a liability when they are approved by the shareholders in a general meeting. Following the implementation of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), proposed final dividends are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

Interim dividends are simultaneously proposed and declared, because the Company’s memorandum and articles of association grant the directors the authority to declare interim dividends. Consequently, interim dividends are recognised immediately as a liability when they are proposed and declared.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Target Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.

Judgements

In the process of applying the Target Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Operating lease commitments – Target Group as lessor

The Target Group has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Target Group has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties which are leased out on operating leases.

Estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.

Estimation of fair value of investment properties

In the absence of current prices in an active market for similar properties, the Target Group considers information from a variety of sources, including:

  • (a) current prices in an active market for properties of a different nature, condition or location, adjusted to reflect those differences;

  • (b) recent prices of similar properties on less active markets, with adjustments to reflect any changes in economic conditions since the date of the transactions that occurred at those prices; and

  • (c) discounted cash flow projections based on reliable estimates of future cash flows, supported by the terms of any existing lease and other contracts and (when possible) by external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties in the same location and condition, and using discount rates that reflect current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and timing of the cash flows.

The carrying amount of investment properties for the years ended 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015 and six months ended 30 June 2016 was RMB823,200,000, RMB815,000,000, RMB807,700,000 and RMB2,137,900,000, respectively. Further details, including the key assumptions used for fair value measurement and a sensitivity analysis, are given in note 11 to the financial statements.

9. INCOME TAX

The Target Group is subject to income tax on an entity basis on profits arising in or derived from the jurisdictions in which members of the Target Group are domiciled and operated.

Hong Kong profit tax rate is 16.5% of the Target Group’s assessable profit derived from Hong Kong. Since the Target Group had no such assessable profit during the reporting period, no provision for Hong Kong profits tax has been made.

Pursuant to the PRC Corporate Income Tax Law (the “ PRC Tax Law ”) effective on 1 January 2008, the PRC corporate income tax rate of the Target Group’s subsidiaries operating in Mainland China during the reporting period was 25% of their taxable profits.

The Target Group’s investment properties are held under medium term leases and are situated in Mainland China. The investment properties are leased to third parties under operating leases.

All investment properties were revalued at the end of the years/period based on valuations performed by the independent qualified valuer, LCH (Asia-Pacific) Surveyors Limited an industry specialist in investment property valuation, with appropriate qualification and experience. The valuation for completed investment properties was arrived at by considering the capitalised income to be derived from the existing tenancies and the reversionary potential of the properties, where appropriate, by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for the similar properties in the same locations and conditions.

At 31 December 2013 and 2014, the Target Group’s investment properties with a carrying value of RMB823,200,000 and RMB815,000,000 were pledged to secure general banking facilities granted to the Target Group (note 16).

Pursuant to an asset pledge agreement dated 18 May 2015 entered into between Foshan Ying Hao Thai and Potevio International Trading Company Limited (“ Potevio ”), an independent third party, the Target Group’s investment properties were pledged with Potevio for a trade facility in the amount of not more than RMB2.3 billion which was granted by Potevio to Foshan Ying Hao Thai in respect of trading transaction commencing from 20 May 2015 to 19 May 2020 between Foshan Ying Hao Thai and Potevio. The trade facility was guaranteed by Beijing Wan Heng Da.

As at the date of this report, the Target Group has obtained the real estate certificates for all the above investment properties.

Reversionary
(“T&R”)
Method

The T&R Method measures the value of the properties as the total of term value and reversionary value, which have taken into account the rental income derived from the existing leases with due allowance for the reversionary income potential of the leases. The term value was estimated based on the existing rents and tenancy periods as stated in the lease agreements and the term yields during the term periods. The reversionary value was estimated based on the market rents of the properties, market yields and the reversionary periods which were estimated as the periods from the expiration dates of the existing tenancies to the end of land use right.

During the six months ended 30 June 2016, the Target Group has recorded a gain in fair value of investment properties in the amount of approximately RMB1.33 billion. The significant increase in fair value of investment properties was due to the re-negotiation of the lease agreements with tenants in 2015 and two new lease agreements in early 2016 which will substantially increase rental income. Since the T&R method considers the rental receivable from the lease agreements existed as at the valuation date, the increase in the rental income pursuant to the new lease agreements led to the increase in the fair value of the investment properties as at 30 June 2016.

The main risks arising from the Target Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.

Interest rate risk

The effective interest rates and terms of repayment of the interest-bearing bank borrowings of the Target Group are set out in note 16 above.

Credit risk

The credit risk of the Target Group’s other financial assets, which mainly comprise cash and cash equivalents, pledged deposits, and financial assets included in deposits and other receivables arise from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amounts of these financial assets.

Since the Target Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties and the security deposit is required, there is no significant credit risk within the Target Group.

Further quantitative data in respect of the Target Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from trade receivables are disclosed in note 12 to the financial statements.

The Directors Alltronics Holdings Limited

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of Alltronics Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Group ”), and Bonroy Limited and its subsidiaries (the “ Target Companies ”) (together with the Group hereafter collectively referred to as the “ Enlarged Group ”) by the directors of the Company (the “ Directors ”) for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma financial information consists of the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the pro forma consolidated income statement, the pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the pro forma consolidated cash flow statement for the year ended 31 December 2015 of the Enlarged Group (the “ Pro Forma Financial Information ”).

As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position has been extracted by the Directors from the Group’s condensed consolidated financial statements for six months ended 30 June 2016, on which no auditor’s report or review conclusion has been published.

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

Directors’ responsibility for the Pro Forma Financial Information

The Directors are responsible for compiling the Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Listing Rules ”) and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 “Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “ HKICPA ”).

We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Pro Forma Financial Information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled the Pro Forma Financial Information, in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 “Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars” issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the Pro Forma Financial Information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the Pro Forma Financial Information.

The purpose of Pro Forma Financial Information included in the Circular is solely to provide information about how the acquisition of the Target Company by the Company might have affected the financial position of the Group as if the transaction had taken place at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the transaction would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the Directors in the compilation of the Pro Forma Financial Information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

– III-10 –

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

  • The Pro Forma Financial Information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgment, having regard to the reporting accountants’ understanding of the nature of the Group, the transaction in respect of which the Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the Pro Forma Financial Information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

  • (a) the Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled on the basis stated;

  • (b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and

  • (c) the adjustments are appropriate for the purpose of the Pro Forma Financial Information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.

In accordance with the instructions given by the present management of Alltronics Holdings Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “ Instructing Party ”) to us to conduct a valuation of a real property proposed to be acquired (same as the word “ property ” in this report) by Alltronics Holdings Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “ Company ”) and its

– IV-1 –

APPENDIX IV

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

subsidiaries (collectively, together with the Company hereinafter referred to as the “ Group ”) in the People’s Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the “ PRC ” or “ China ”), we confirm that we have conducted inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary to support our findings and our conclusion of value of the property as at 30 September 2016 (hereinafter referred to as the “ Valuation Date ”) for the Instructing Party’s internal management reference purpose. We are given to understand the real property is currently held by 北京萬恒達投資有限公司 (translated as Beijing Wan Heng Da Investment Company Limited and hereinafter referred to as “ Beijing Wan Heng Da ”) and the Group has intention to acquire the entire equity interests of Beijing Wan Heng Da.

We understand that the use of our work product (regardless of form of presentation) will form part of the Instructing Party’s due diligence but we have not been engaged to make specific sales or purchase recommendations, or to give opinion for financing arrangement. We further understand that the use of our work product will not supplant other due diligence which the Instructing Party should conduct in reaching its business decision regarding the property valued. Our work is designed solely to provide information that will give the Instructing Party a reference in its due diligence process, and our work should not be the only factor to be referenced by the Instructing Party. Our findings and conclusion of value of the property are documented in a valuation report and submitted to the Instructing Party at today’s date (hereinafter referred to as the “ Report Date ”).

At the request of the Instructing Party, we prepared this summary report (including this letter and the valuation certificate) to summarise our findings and conclusion of value as documented in the valuation report for the purpose of inclusion in this circular at the Report Date for the Company’s shareholders’ reference. Terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings as in the valuation report, and the assumptions and caveats adopted in the valuation report also apply to this summary report.

BASIS OF VALUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS

According to the IVS which the HKIS Standards also follows, there are two valuation bases, namely market value basis and valuation bases other than market value. In this engagement, we have provided our conclusion of value of the property on the market value basis.

The term “Market Value” is defined by the IVS and the HKIS Standards as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

– IV-2 –

APPENDIX IV

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

Unless otherwise stated, our valuation of the real property has been made on the assumptions that, as at the Valuation Date,

  1. the legally interested party in the property has free and uninterrupted rights to assign its relevant property interest for the whole of the unexpired terms as granted, and any premium payable have already been fully paid;

  2. the legally interested party in the property sells its relevant property interests in the market in its existing state without the benefit of a deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any other similar arrangement which could serve to increase the value of the property interest;

  3. the legally interested party in the property has absolute title to its relevant property interest;

  4. the legally interested party in the property has obtained relevant government’s approvals for the sale of the property and is able to dispose of and transfer free of all encumbrances (including but not limited to the cost of transaction) in the market; and

  5. the property can be freely disposed of and transferred free of all encumbrances as at the Valuation Date for its existing use in the market to both local and overseas purchasers without payment of any premium to the government.

Should any of the above not be the case, it will have adverse impact to the value as reported.

APPROACH TO VALUE

There are three generally accepted approaches in arriving at the market value of a property on an absolute title basis, namely the Sales Comparison Approach (or known as the Market Approach), the Cost Approach and the Income Approach.

In valuing the property which is subject to tenancy agreements as at the Valuation Date, we have adopted the term and reversion method of the Income Approach or sometimes referred to as a method of the Market Approach because the reversionary interests and the rate of return are market-derived by taking into account the current rent receivable from the existing tenancy agreements and the reversionary potential of the property interest.

Unless otherwise stated, we have not carried out any valuation on a redevelopment basis to the property and the study of possible alternative development options and the related economics do not come within the scope of our work.

– IV-3 –

APPENDIX IV

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

MATTERS THAT MIGHT AFFECT THE VALUE REPORTED

For the sake of valuation, we have adopted the areas as they appeared in the copies of the documents as provided and no further verification work has been conducted. Should it be established subsequently that the adopted areas were not the latest approved, we reserve the right to revise our report and the valuation accordingly.

Unless otherwise stated, no allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages, outstanding premium or amounts owing on the property valued nor any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in affecting a sale of the property. It is assumed that the property is free from all encumbrances, restrictions, and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.

Unless otherwise stated, in our valuation, we have assumed that the property is able to be sold and purchased in the market without any legal impediment (especially from the regulators). Should this not be the case, it will affect the reported value significantly. The readers are reminded to have their own legal due diligence work on such issue. No responsibility or liability is assumed.

Save as the legal proceedings as disclosed on page 51-53 of this circular, as at the Latest Practicable Date of this circular, we were unable to identify any adverse news against the property which may affect the reported value in our work product. Thus, we are not in a position to report and comment on its impact (if any) to the property. However, should it be established subsequently that such news did exist at the Valuation Date, we reserve the right to adjust the value reported herein.

ESTABLISHMENT OF TITLES

Due to the purpose of this engagement and the market value basis of valuation, the Instructing Party or the appointed personnel of the Company provided us the necessary copies of documents to support that the legally interested party in the property (in this instance, Beijing Wan Heng Da) has free and uninterrupted rights to occupy, to transfer, to mortgage or to let its relevant property interests (in this instance, an absolute title) for the whole of the unexpired terms as granted, free of all encumbrances and any premiums payable have already been paid in full or outstanding procedures have been completed or is in processing, and Beijing Wan Heng Da has the right to occupy and use the property. However, our procedures to value, as agreed, with the Instructing Party, did not require us to conduct legal due diligence on the legality and formality on the way that the legally interested party obtained the property from the relevant authorities. We agreed with the Instructing Party that this should be the responsibility of the legal advisor to the Instructing Party. Thus, no responsibility or liability is assumed from our part to the origin and continuity of the titles to the property.

– IV-4 –

APPENDIX IV

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

The land registration system of China forbids us to search the original documents of the property that are filed in the relevant authorities, and to verify legal titles or to verify any material encumbrances or amendment which may not appear on the copies handed to us. For the purpose of valuation, we have relied solely on a copy of the PRC legal opinions provided by the Instructing Party or the appointed personnel of the Company with regards to the legal titles of the property. We are given to understand that the PRC legal opinions was prepared by a qualified PRC legal advisor Hills & Co. dated 23 December 2016.

We need to state that we are not legal professionals and are not qualified to ascertain the titles and to report any encumbrances that may be registered against the property. However, we have complied with the requirements as stated in Chapter 5 and Practice Note No. 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and relied solely on the copies of documents and the copy of legal opinions provided by the Instructing Party or the appointed personnel of the Company in our valuation. No responsibility or liability from our part is assumed in relation to those legal opinions.

In our report, we have assumed that Beijing Wan Heng Da has obtained all the approval and/or endorsement from the relevant authorities to own the property, and that there would be no legal impediment (especially from the regulators) for Beijing Wan Heng Da to continue the legal titles to the property. Should this not be the case, it will affect our findings or conclusion of value in this report significantly. The readers are reminded to have their own legal due diligence work on such issues. No responsibility or liability is assumed.

INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS OF THE PROPERTY

We have conducted inspections to the exterior, and where possible, the interior of the property in respect of which we have been provided with such information as we have requested for the purpose of engagement. The property was inspected by Sr Elsa Ng in June 2016. We have not inspected those parts of the property which were covered, unexposed or inaccessible and such parts have been assumed to be in a reasonable condition. We cannot express an opinion about or advice upon the condition of the property and our work product should not be taken as making any implied representation or statement about the condition of the property. No building survey, structural survey, investigation or examination has been made, but in the course of our inspections, we did not note any serious defects in the property inspected. We are not, however, able to report that the property is free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out to the utilities or systems (if any) and we are unable to identify those utilities or systems covered, unexposed or inaccessible.

We have not carried out on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the areas of the property, but have assumed that the areas shown on the documents and official layout plans handed to us are correct. All dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations.‘

– IV-5 –

APPENDIX IV

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

Our engagement and the agreed procedures to value the property did not include an independent land survey to verify the legal boundaries of the property. We need to state that we are not in the land survey profession, therefore, we are not in a position to verify or ascertain the correctness of the legal boundaries of the property that appeared on the documents handed to us. No responsibility from our part is assumed. The Instructing Party or the interested party in the property should conduct their own legal boundaries due diligence work.

We have not arranged for any investigation to be carried out to determine whether or not any deleterious or hazardous material has been used in the construction of the property, or has since been incorporated, and we are therefore unable to report that the property is free from risk in this respect, and therefore we have not considered such factors in our valuation.

We are not aware of the content of any environmental audit or other environmental investigation or soil survey which may have been carried out on the property and which may draw attention to any contamination or the possibility of any such contamination. In undertaking our work, we have assumed that no contaminative or potentially contaminative uses have ever been carried out in the property. We have not carried out any investigation into past or present uses of the property or of any neighbouring land, to establish whether there is any contamination or potential for contamination to the property from these uses or sites, and have therefore assumed that none exists. However, should it be established subsequently that contamination, seepage or pollution exists at the property or on any neighbouring land, or that the premises have been or are being put to a contaminative use, this might reduce the value now reported or affect our findings.

If the Instructing Party or the Company is proposing to acquire the property and wants to satisfy themselves as to its condition or usage, then they should obtain a surveyor’s detailed inspection and report of their own before deciding whether or not to enter into an agreement for sale and purchase.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ITS VERIFICATION

In the course of our work, we have been provided with copies of the documents regarding the property, and these copies have been referenced without further verifying with the relevant bodies and/or authorities. Our procedures did not require us to conduct any searches or to inspect the original documents to verify ownership or to verify any amendment which may not appear on the copies handed to us. We need to state that we are not legal professionals, therefore, we are not in a position to advise and comment on the legality and effectiveness of the documents provided by the Instructing Party or the appointed personnel of the Company.

We have relied solely on the information provided by the Instructing Party or the appointed personnel of the Company without further verification and have fully accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, locations, titles, easements, tenure, occupation, lettings, rentals, site and floor areas and all other relevant matters.
