LETTER FROM THE BOARD
INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY
The Target Company is a limited liability company incorporated in the PRC on 20 April 2015. The principal business of the Target Company is intended to hold the Property for rental purpose and agency. Upon completion of the sale and purchase agreements of the Property between the Target Company and a real estate developer, the principal asset of the Target Company will be the Property, which had a cost (excluding all transaction cost and taxation) of approximately RMB117,186,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$148,337,000) as at 24 June 2015.
The Target Company entered into the sale and purchase agreements with a real estate developer at the end of May 2015 to purchase the Property inside a giant theme shopping mall selling textile materials, accessories and products. This shopping mall was still under construction as at the Latest Practicable Date. The expected construction costs, such as costs of water and electricity pipelines, pathways and interior and exterior renovation, to be incurred to complete the construction of the Property is RMB5,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$6,329,000). The construction costs will be borne by the real estate developer. The Group has no capital commitments regarding the Property. The Property is targeted for handover by the end of October 2015. This shopping mall is located at No. 1 Zheng Shang (Middle Section) Road, Zhongyuan District, Zhengzhou Shi, Henan Province, the PRC and forms part of a big scale mixed residential, commercial, office and hotel development project. Its location is a newly developing area on the western part of Zhengzhou Shi and takes less than an hour driving distance to two railway stations and an airport. The shopping mall has comprehensive auxiliary facilities, such as large signboards, thousands of parking spaces, nearly hundreds of escalators and customer or freight elevators and wide passages for ease of logistics. The Property consists of a total of 164 ground floor shop units with a total gross floor area of approximately 6,928 square meters. The floor area and height of these shop units are ranged from 22 square meters to 54 square meters and from 5 meters to 6 meters, respectively, which enables ample rooms for tenants to display their goods. The Target Company intends to rent out the Property at fixed market rate to tenants selling textile materials, accessories and products starting from the beginning of 2016.
For less than one month ended 30 April 2015 since its incorporation, the unaudited net loss before and after tax of the Target Company amounted to approximately RMB5,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$6,000) and RMB5,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$6,000), respectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
POSSIBLE FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION
Upon the completion of the Acquisition, the Target Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group and its financial statements will be consolidated to those of the Group.
As set out in Appendix III to this circular, assuming the Acquisition has been completed on 31 December 2014, the consolidated total assets of the Group would be increased from approximately RMB1,011,363,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,280,206,000) to RMB1,034,150,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,309,050,000). The consolidated total liabilities of the Group would be increased from approximately RMB111,805,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$141,525,000) to approximately RMB136,347,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$172,591,000). The increase of the consolidated total liabilities is primarily due to the consolidation of the liability of the Target Company with that of the Group and the accrual for the consideration of RMB218,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$275,949,000) payable to the Vendor. As a result, the consolidated net assets of the Group would decrease from approximately RMB899,558,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,138,681,000) to RMB897,803,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,136,459,000).
Taking into account the synergy potential of the Acquisition, the Acquisition is expected to further broaden the revenue and earning base of the Group in future.
REASONS FOR AND THE BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION
The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in the dyeing process of grey fabrics and property operating.
The Group tried to diversify its operations into different kinds of business since the year ended 30 June 2014. Therefore resources have been placed into property operating aspects in order to explore future prospects and develop the relevant markets, with a view to magnify the Company’s development potential and the Shareholders’ return.
The Directors consider that the Acquisition signifies the second property operating project the Group invested in and the sustainable development of the Group to diversify its business into the property operating business. The Property will be held by the Group as investment property which will generate a stable and constant stream of rental income to the Group, which ultimately will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Directors also expect that there will be appreciation of property value in long term. Moreover, the Directors have further explored the possible diversification of the Group’s business to the property operating segment because of the increasing population and consuming power of the PRC and a strong market potential is foreseeable.
– 10 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Acquisition exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the Acquisition contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Therefore, the Acquisition is subject to reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
The EGM will be convened for the purpose of considering, and if thought fit, approving the Acquisition. The Acquisition will result in a broaden diversification of the Group’s business to enlarge the territory of the property operating business in addition to its existing business of the dyeing process of grey fabrics and property operating of a shopping mall for rental purpose. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Acquisition and therefore, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting for the resolution to approve the Acquisition at the EGM.

As the Plan was included in 全國主體功能區規劃 (National Main Body Functional Zone Plan) as national development strategy, future prospects of textile industry in Zhengzhou is therefore expected to be optimistic and have more opportunities to further develop. There has been a long history of textile industry in Zhengzhou, therefore large amount of experienced and skillful workforce can be found here. Zhengzhou is the centre of the PRC, highways and railways thread Zhengzhou together to all directions of the PRC which is convenient for manpower movement and goods delivery. The giant theme shopping mall is created as the central pivot of selling textile materials, accessories and products in the middle part of the PRC. Based on the advantages obtained in development strategy, textile markets, human resources, location and communications, a great number of investment promotions can be attracted to Zhengzhou from the eastern coastal regions.
The PRC’s economy is expected to maintain a rapid yet stable growth in the next decade. Economic, financial and social reforms covering a wide range of areas will lead the economy and the society towards a more healthy and sustainable development. The PRC government’s focus is on targeted control measures to ensure a moderate pace of growth while continuing its economic restructuring. With financial reforms in the banking system, capital markets and public finance such as liberalisation of interest rates and better access to housing finance, a healthy property market will be developed. With improvements done by the PRC government in household registration system, property rights and land title registration system, the interests of the owners of the properties will also be safeguarded. Furthermore, urbanisation has been another focus for the PRC government in setting economic policy and objectives over the past few decades. A comprehensive policy framework for urbanisation would narrow rural-urban inequalities and reduce wealth disparities. Since the PRC has transformed into a consumption-driven society as a result of the increase in residents’ incomes, the living standard and consuming power in the PRC, in particular for the urban Chinese population, have kept increasing over the past two decades, especially on the luxurious consumer goods. Recently, easing of one-child policy will also increase demand for consumer

products, education and housing. The above reforms and improvements are all important to establish a more sustainable consumption-led economy in the PRC. By leveraging on the Enlarged Group’s current strategic plan and established strengths, experience and foresight, the Enlarged Group continues to seize opportunities to penetrate into property operating markets, explore new market potentials and increase profit margin.
The Company intends to appoint one of the executive directors, Mr. Chen Jinqing, as the general manager of the Target Company to manage the rental business with three current staff of the Target Company in view of its simple rental business and accounting processes. More caliber management and skillful employees will be recruited in future if the rental business becomes more extensive.
Looking forward, the Group continues to place additional resources to realise growth momentum from the development of property operating markets. The Property and a shopping mall for rental purpose acquired by the Group recently are situated in Zhengzhou Shi and with good economic and demographic fundamentals, which enables the Enlarged Group to diversify its business operations into property operating market in depth. The business growth of the Enlarged Group is expected to accelerate and accordingly, the positive outcome will be gradually reflected in the future with full recovery of the worldwide economy. By continually diversifying the Enlarged Group’s business, the market value of the Company and the return to its Shareholders will be maximized in long term, which in return for the constant trust and support bestowed to the Company by its Shareholders.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. General
The Target Company was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) with limited liability on 20 April 2014. As at the date of this report, the registered office of the Target Company is located at 鄭州市中原區桐柏路178號4號樓1105, 1106室 (Rooms 1105 and 1106, No. 4 Building, Tong Bai Road, Zhong Yuan Area, Zhengzhou Shi). Its shareholder is Zhengzhou Changke Trading Company Limited(鄭州暢科貿易有限公司) which was incorporated in the PRC.
The financial information are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is also the functional currency of the Target Company, except when otherwise indicated.
The Target Company is principally engaged in holding the Property for rental purpose and agency. During the Relevant Period, there was no operation carried out.
2. Application of new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”)
For the purpose of preparing and presentation of the financial information for the Relevant Period, the Target Company has applied Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”), HKFRSs and Interpretation (“HK(IFRC) – Int”) issued by the HKICPA which are effective for the financial period beginning on 1 January 2015 and consistently applied throughout the Relevant Period.
At the date of this report, the Target Company has not early applied the following new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:

The director of the Target Company anticipates that the application of new and revised HKFRSs will not have material impact on the results and the financial position of the Target Company.
3. Significant accounting policies
The financial information has been prepared on the historical cost basis, and in accordance with accounting policies set out below which are in conformity with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Target Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in the financial information is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 or value in use in HKAS 36.
– 24 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
Cash and cash equivalents
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, and form an integral part of the Target Company’s cash management.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Target Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Target Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the relevant period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material). When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
– 25 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
Impairment losses
At the end of the relevant period, the Target Company reviews the carrying amounts of its assets with finite useful lives to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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 for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from “profit before tax” as reported in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Target Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the relevant period.
– 26 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
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 profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Target Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when an entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
The Target Company’s financial assets are classified as loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. The accounting policies adopted in respect of loans and receivables are set out below.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.
– 29 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including other receivable and cash and bank balances) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.
Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables where the recognition of interest would be immaterial.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the relevant period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected.
For loans and receivables, objective evidence of impairment could include:
-
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
-
breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest and principal payments; or
-
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation; or
-
the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
For certain categories of financial assets, such as other receivable, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Target Company’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
– 30 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade and other receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When trade and other receivables are considered uncollectible, they are written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Target Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Target Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
– 31 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
Financial liabilities (including other payable) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.
Derecognition
The Target Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Target Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Target Company continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement and recognises an associated liability. If the Target Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Target Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
– 32 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety, the Target Company allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognise, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.
The Target Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Target Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
4. Critical accounting judgment and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Target Company’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the management are required to make judgment, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
5. Turnover
The Target Company did not generate any turnover during the Relevant Period.

Interest rate risk
The Target Company’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of the rate determined by the People’s Bank of China arising from the Target Company’s RMB in relation to bank balances.
The Target Company currently does not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, management monitors interest rate change exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate change exposure should the need arise.
Sensitivity analysis
No sensitivity analysis has been presented as the director considers that the impact to profit or loss for the Relevant Period is insignificant, taking into account that the fluctuation in interest rates on bank balances is minimal. Accordingly, no sensitivity analysis is presented.
Credit risk
At the end of each reporting period, the Target Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Target Company due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the statement of financial position.
In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Target Company has policies in place to recover overdue debts. In addition, the management of the Target Company reviews the recoverable amount of each receivable at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management of the Target Company considers that the credit risk is significantly reduced.
The credit risk of these liquid funds is limited because the counterparty is bank located in the PRC with high credit rating.

APPENDIX II
Liquidity risk
In the management of the liquidity risk, the Target Company monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Target Company’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.
The following table details the Target Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liability. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liability based on the earliest date on which the Target Company can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of each reporting period.
| Total | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| On demand or | undiscounted | As at | |
| within 1 year | cash flow | 30 April 2015 | |
| RMB | RMB | RMB | |
| Non-derivative | |||
| financial liability | |||
| Other payable | 510,000 | 510,000 | 510,000 |
Fair value measurements of financial instruments
The fair values of financial assets and financial liability are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted cash flow analysis using prices or rates from observable current market transactions as input.
The management of the Target Company considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liability recognised in the financial information approximate their fair values.

On 6 May 2015, the Target Company paid RMB20,000,000 to the real estate developer as part of the consideration as stated in the preliminary sale and purchase agreement.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
APPENDIX III
Notes:
-
The figures were extracted from the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2014 as set out in the Company’s published interim report for the six months ended 31 December 2014.
-
The figures were extracted from accountants’ report of the Target Company in Appendix II of this Circular, after foreign exchange translation at the exchange rate of HK$1 to RMB0.79 to conform the presentation format of the Group, which is the prevailing exchange rate on 30 April 2015.
-
Being the adjustment to acquire a total of 164 shops which are under development as at the date of this report at a consideration of RMB117,186,000 (equivalent to HK$148,337,000) upon the completion. The tax expense of RMB4,687,000 (equivalent to HK$5,933,000) is capitalised to property under development in relation to deed tax, which is 4% of RMB117,186,000, is also taken into account.
-
The pro forma adjustment reflects the allocation of the cost of the Acquisition to the identifiable assets and liability of the Target Company. The Acquisition is accounted for using acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 3 (Revised) “Business Combinations”. For the purpose of preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group, the pro forma fair values of the identifiable assets and liability (other than goodwill) of the Target Company as at 30 April 2015 are assumed to be the same as their carrying amounts as at 30 April 2015.
Cash consideration of approximately HK$275,949,000 is to be paid by the Group for the Acquisition of 100% equity interests in the Target Company, assuming the Acquisition was taken place on 31 December 2014.
- (a) Fair value adjustment of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Company
The fair value of 164 shops based on director’s estimation with reference to Valuation Report in Appendix IV of this Circular is approximately RMB218,000,000 (equivalent to HK$275,949,000) as at 30 April 2015. An amount of approximately HK$121,679,000, being the difference between the fair value of 164 shops and its cost of approximately HK$154,270,000 is adjusted as an increase in fair value. The corresponding deferred tax liability of approximately HK$30,420,000 is recognized based on the People’s Republic of China Enterprise Income Tax rate of 25% for the increase in fair value.
The fair values of the identifiable assets and liability of the Target Company and the amount of goodwill are subject to change upon the finalisation of the valuation on the completion date, which may be substantially different from their estimated amounts used in the preparation of this unaudited pro forma financial information.
– 45 –
APPENDIX III
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
(b) Recognition of goodwill in relation to the Acquisition
Goodwill of the Enlarged Group represents the excess of the cost of the Acquisition over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets of the Target Company. The calculation is as follows:
| Consideration of the Acquisition Less: identifiable net assets acquired Goodwill arising from the Acquisition |
HKD’000 275,949 (116,569) |
|---|---|
| 159,380 |
For the purpose of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial information, the directors of the Company have assessed whether the goodwill may be impaired as at 31 December 2014 on a pro forma basis in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36 “Impairment of Assets” and concluded that there is no impairment on the goodwill arising from the Acquisition as at 31 December 2014 based on the management’s assessment on the business plan to be executed and the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit comprising the goodwill with reference to Valuation Report in Appendix IV of this Circular. The actual amount of impairment of goodwill arising from the Acquisition at the date of completion may be different from that presented above and the difference may be significant.
The Directors confirm that the basis used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company, and the accounting policies and the principal assumptions will be consistently adopted in the first set of the financial statements of the Company after the completion of the Acquisition.
-
The pro forma adjustment represents the acquisition-related costs incurred by the Group and the total transaction costs, including legal, accounting and other professional parties are approximately HK$2,222,000.
-
No other adjustments have been made to reflect any trading results or other transactions of the Group entered into subsequent to 31 December 2014 and of the Target Company entered into subsequent to 30 April 2015.

This letter which forms parts of our valuation report explains the basis and methodology of valuation and clarifies our assumptions made, titleship of property and the limiting conditions.
– 51 –
VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX IV
PREMISES OF VALUE
The valuation is our opinion of market value which is defined by the International Valuation Standards of the International Valuation Standards Council and followed by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors 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 where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.
BASIS OF VALUATION
In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, the HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and the International Valuation Standards published from time to time by the International Valuation Standards Council.
Our valuation excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangement, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value or costs of sale and purchase or offset for any associated taxes.
Our valuation also excludes potential tax liability which might arise if the assets were to be sold at the valuation date, including but not limited to profit tax, business tax, land appreciation tax, capital gain tax and any other relevant taxes prevailing at the valuation date.
CATEGORISATION OF PROPERTY INTERESTS
In the course of our valuation, the appraised property interests have been categorised according firstly to type of interests and then country where it is located, which in turn being classified into the below group:
– Property interests to be acquired by the Group for investment in the PRC
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
In the course of our valuation, unless otherwise stated, we have valued the property in its designated uses with the understanding that the property will be used as such (hereafter referred to as “continued uses”).
– 52 –
APPENDIX IV
VALUATION REPORT
The property had been subdivided into various small units and all of them were vacant with internal decoration in progress as at the valuation date. We have valued the property interests in its existing state and with the benefit of vacant possession. In the course of our valuation, we have valued the property by market approach and using comparison method with reference to comparable sales evidence, especially those within the subject development and asking price as available in the relevant market subject to suitable adjustments between the property and the comparable properties.
TITLE INVESTIGATION
We have been provided by the Group with copy of extract of the title documents and development consents/permits relating to the property interests. Where possible, we have examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the property interests in the PRC and any material encumbrances that might be attached to the property interests or any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us.
However, we have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain any amendment. Due to the current registration system of the PRC under which the registration information is not accessible to the public, no investigation has been made for the title of the property interests in the PRC and the material encumbrances that might be attached. In the course of our valuation, we have relied considerably on the legal opinion given by the Company’s PRC legal adviser – 福建創元律師事務所 (Trend Associates), concerning the validity of property title and material encumbrances of the property in the PRC.
SITE INVESTIGATION
We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the accessible portions of the interior of the property being appraised. However, we have not been commissioned to carry out structural survey nor to arrange for an inspection of the services. We are, therefore, not able to report whether the property is free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. We formulate our view as to the overall conditions of the property taking into account the general appearance, the apparent standard and age of fixtures and fittings and the existence of utility services. Hence it must be stressed that we have had regard to you with a view as to whether the subject buildings are free from defects or as to the possibility of latent defects which might affect our valuation. In the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services. We have assumed that utility services, such as electricity, telephone, water, etc., shall be available and free from defect. Moreover, we have assumed that there was not any alteration and addition works being carried out within the property, as at the valuation date.
– 53 –
APPENDIX IV
VALUATION REPORT
We have not arranged for any investigation to be carried out to determine whether or not high alumina cement concrete or calcium chloride additive or pulverized fly ash, or any other deleterious material has been used in the construction of the property. We are therefore unable to report that the property is free from risk in this respect. For the purpose of this valuation, we have assumed that deleterious material has not been used in the construction of the property.
We have not carried out any site investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions or the services for any property development erected or to be erected thereon. Nor did we undertake archaeological, ecological or environmental surveys for the property interests. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during the construction period. Should it be discovered that contamination, subsidence or other latent defects exists in the property or on adjoining or neighbouring land or that the property had been or are being put to contaminated use, we reserve right to revise our opinion of value.
Moreover, we have not been commissioned to carry out detailed site measurements to verify the correctness of the land or building areas in respect of the property but have assumed that the areas provided to us are correct. Based on our experience of valuation of similar properties, we consider the assumptions so made to be reasonable. We have also assumed that there was not any material change of the property in between date of our inspection and the valuation date.
SOURCE OF INFORMATION
Unless otherwise stated, we shall rely to a considerable extent on the information provided to us by you or your legal or other professional advisers, in particular, but not limited to, statutory notices, planning approvals, zoning, easements, tenure, completion date of building, development schemes, identification of property, particulars of occupation, site areas, floor areas (including the gross floor area, planned gross floor area and surveyed gross floor area), matters relating to tenure, tenancies and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on information contained in the documents provided to us and are therefore approximations and for reference only. We have not searched original plans, developer brochures and the like to verify them.
We have taken every reasonable care to examine the information provided to us and also to make relevant enquiries. We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by you, which is material to the valuation. We have also sought confirmation from you that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

APPENDIX IV
VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS
For the properties which are held under long term land use rights, we have assumed that transferable land use rights in respect of the property interests at nominal land use fees has been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully settled.
