LETTER FROM THE BOARD
FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL
Following the Disposal, the Target Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and its result and assets and liabilities will cease to be consolidated into that of the Company.
Based on the audited consolidated financial statement of the Group as at 30 June 2013, the book carrying value of the Target Assets is HK$107,578,000 (being HK$80,032,000 for the Elderly Care Use Land and the Nursery Land and HK$27,546,000 for the 204 fixed parking spaces in Dianchi Yinxiang Garden and the 24 flats in Dianchi Yinxiang Garden) and was classified as “asset held for sale”. Based on the property valuation report on the Target Company as set out in Appendix II to this circular, the valuation value as at 31 August 2013 of the Target Assets is approximately HK$278,712,000 (equivalent to RMB221,200,000) (being approximately HK$245,952,000 (equivalent to RMB195,200,000) for Elderly Care Use Land and the Nursery Land and approximately HK$32,760,000 (equivalent to RMB26,000,000) for the 204 fixed parking spaces in Dianchi Yinxiang Garden and the 24 flats in Dianchi Yinxiang Garden). Upon the completion of the assets stripping and the restructuring of receivables and liabilities, the Target Company will have no assets and liabilities save for the Target Assets, the Disposal is expected to record an estimated gain of approximately HK$301,916,000 (subject to audit) (i.e. being the difference between the Consideration, the net assets value of the Target Company as at 30 June 2013 and the adjusted shareholder loan from the Vendor to the Target Company (after assets stripping and restructuring of receivables and liabilities) being waived) for the Group.
It is expected that the earnings and assets of the Group will be increased attributed to the gain from the Disposal while liabilities of the Group will be decreased following the reduction of mortgage loan following the completion of the Disposal.

Among the borrowings of the Group as at 30 September 2013 with interest rates range from about 3% per annum to 15% per annum, an amount of HK$1,948,532,000 was with maturity within one year, an amount of HK$707,822,000 was with maturity over one year but not exceeding two years and an amount of HK$70,000,000 was with maturity of more than two years but less than five years.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In August 2013, Jiatai Tongren Group entered into a sale and purchase agreement to dispose of its interest in Kunming Tongren Industrial Development Company Limited (“Kunming Tongren Industrial”) for a consideration of RMB324.995 million. Upon the completion of the assets transfer and restructuring of receivables and liabilities, Kunming Tongren Industrial’s remaining assets will consist of the Elderly Care Use Land, the Nursery Land together with the existing buildings and structures thereon, the right and income entitlement in the 204 fixed parking spaces (developed but unsold) in Dianchi Yinxiang Garden and the right in the 24 flats (developed but unsold) in Dianchi Yinxiang Garden, in Kunming City, Yunnan Province, the PRC. The Group considers that the Disposal would provide the Company with the opportunity to realize gains from its investments and enable it to reallocate its financial resources to other core business activities.
In September 2013, Jiatai Tongren Group entered into an agreement with Huaying Land Group Company Limited (華盈置地集團有限公司), a connected person of the Company, to dispose of its entire shareholding of 65% the entire registered capital of Dongying Tongren International Health Centre Investment Company Limited (東營同仁國際健康城投資有限公司) (“Dongying Tongren”) for a consideration of RMB13 million. The sole investment of Dongying Tongren is the Dongying Tongren International Health Centre* (東營同仁國際健康城) project in Dongying in the Shangdong Province of the PRC, which is still in the preliminary planning stage. The disposal enables the Group to recuperate its initial capital contribution and continue to participate in the projects of Dongying Tongren through the provision of management and consulting services.
In October 2013, the Group entered into a substitution agreement with BOS International (Australia) Limited, FKP Communities Pty Ltd and others pursuant to which BOS International (Australia) Limited agreed to novate to the Group its participation in the loan with the loan facility limit of A$90,000,000 (“Loan”) for a consideration of A$75,446,863.84. The novation will provide interest income to the Group and capital gain from the realization of the discount on the face value of the loan upon repayment.
The more positive economic data from the U.S., the euro zone countries and Japan indicates a likely return to a more sustainable recovery. China appears to have recently averted a sharp slowdown in its economy after the re-introduction of policies to encourage investment and push through structural reforms. All this has provided some comfort to the market. However, mounting concerns over the United States Federal Reserve Board’s imminent tapering of its monetary stimulus policy has already negatively affected the currencies and financial markets of the emerging nations. Uncertainties over the fragile economic conditions, the political in-fighting and paralysis with the consequential social unrest in the developed world, together with the geo-political unrest in the Middle East, and the slowdown in the emerging markets will continue to weigh on the global economy and financial markets. Given the expected volatility in the global economy and financial markets, the performance of the Group’s businesses in securities trading and investments and provision of financial services could be affected and variable.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Of the Group’s businesses in hospital operation, the upward trend in inflation and labour cost, especially medical and technical staff in the PRC will continue to negatively affect its performance. The Group considers that the disposal of its interest in Kunming Tongren Industrial an opportunity to realize gains from its investment and enable it to reallocate its financial resources to other core businesses activities such as the development of its elderly care use land located in Nanjing and nearby its Nanjing Tongren Hospital, with a site area of 103.46 Mou.
In March 2013, Jiatai Tongren entered into a cooperative agreement with Mr. Yu Zhen Kun (“Mr. Yu”) to set up a joint venture in eye, ear, nose and throat specialty with an investment of RMB80 million. Jiatai Tongren has granted call options to Mr. Yu, exercisable upon fulfillment of certain performance targets. For the proposed joint venture, Jiatai Tongren will contribute RMB60 million for a 60% interest and Mr. Yu and his professional team will contribute RMB20 million for a 40% interest. Mr. Yu is a well-known ear, nose, throat, head and neck specialist in the PRC. The cooperative agreement will provide an invaluable opportunity to leverage on the medical expertise of Mr. Yu and strengthen Jiatai Tongren’s medical and technical management team.
In relation to the Group’s property development business which consists of the development project of Phase 2 and 3 of Kangya Garden (康雅苑), located in the Jiangning Development Zone in Nanjing in the PRC. This development project has a total gross floor area of approximately 125,400 sqm with construction expected to be completed in June 2013 and June 2015 respectively. The Group also owned two pieces of lands located at Jinqiao Road East and Chang Wei Road South with site area of 66,664 sqm and Huaguoshan Road and Chang Wei Road South with site area of 117,600 sqm, Lianyungang Development Zone, the PRC and is considering possible exit of this investment.
In view of the above, the Group has taken steps subsequent to the fiscal year end to strengthen its financial position and reallocate its capital and financial resources to other core businesses and to reduce its gearing level. As a value investor, the Group will continuously review and adjust its investment strategies and investment portfolio to the prevailing economic and investment environment to seek and identify grossly undervalued investment and business opportunities in China, Hong Kong and the Asia Pacific region.

The Board of Directors
COL Capital Limited
Dear Sirs,
Re: Valuation of property interests situated in the People’s Republic of China
In accordance with the instructions from COL Capital Limited (referred to as the “Company”) to value certain property interests (referred to as the “properties”) situated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), we confirm that we have carried out inspections of the properties, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market values of the properties as at 30 August 2013 (the “date of valuation”).
BASIS OF VALUATION
Our valuation of the properties represents the market value which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the date of valuation 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”.
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
The properties have been valued by the comparison method where comparison based on prices realised or market prices of comparable properties is made. Comparable properties of similar size, character and location are analysed and carefully weighed against all the respective advantages and disadvantages of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of capital values.
– 16 –
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
Due to the nature of the buildings and structures erected thereon, the property numbered 2. of this report have been valued on the basis of depreciated replacement cost (DRC). The assessment of the DRC requires an estimate of the market value of the land (if any) in existing use and an estimate of the new replacement (reproduction) cost of the buildings and structures and other site works as at the date of valuation, from which deductions are then made to allow for age, condition, functional obsolescence, etc.. In valuing the market value of the land portions of the properties, the comparison method has been adopted.
ASSUMPTIONS
Our valuation has been made on the assumption that owners sell the properties on the market in their existing states without the benefit of deferred terms contracts, leaseback, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect the values of the properties.
For those properties held by the owners by means of long term Land Use Rights granted by the Government, we have assumed that the owner has free and uninterrupted rights to use the properties for the whole of the unexpired term of the respective land use rights. We have also assumed that they can be freely transferred on the market free from any land premium or expenses of substantial amount payable to the Government.
Other special assumptions for our valuation (if any) would be stated out in the footnotes of the valuation certificate attached herewith.
TITLESHIP
We have been provided with copies of legal documents regarding the properties. However, we have not verified ownership of the properties and the existence of any encumbrances that would affect ownership of them.
We have also relied upon the legal opinion dated 20 November 2013 provided by the PRC legal advisers, namely Yunnan Youyuan Law Firm (雲南友元律師事務所) to the Company on the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, on the nature of land use rights or leasehold interests in the properties.

APPENDIX II
LIMITING CONDITIONS
No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the properties nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect its value. Our valuation have been made on the assumption that the seller sells the properties on the market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which could serve to affect the values of the properties.
We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Company and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, lettings, and all other relevant matters.
We have not carried out detailed site measurements to verify the correctness of the site areas in respect of the properties but have assumed that the site areas shown on the documents and official site plans handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations.
The properties were lasted inspected on 12 April 2013 by Mr. Liu Ho Chi, who is a member of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors. However, no structural survey has been made. In the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are unable to report whether the buildings and structures of the properties are free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No test was carried out on any of the services of the buildings and structures of the properties.
We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company. We have also sought confirmation from the Company 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.
In valuing the properties, 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 and the HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

- (a) In November 1998, a writ was issued against the Company’s subsidiaries, Hongkong Digital Television Limited (“Digital TV”, formerly known as Star Interactive Television Limited) and Star Telecom Services Limited (“STSL”, formerly known as Hong Kong Star Internet Limited) by nCube Corporation (“nCube”), claiming the sum of approximately US$1,980,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$15,305,000) plus interest in relation to the alleged purchase of two MediaCube 3000 systems by Digital TV from nCube. The claim of nCube against STSL was on the basis of a chop of STSL on the contract between Digital TV and nCube. STSL had taken legal advice and had been advised that it was very unlikely that STSL would be held liable to the claim of nCube. Digital TV was also opposing the claim of nCube and had taken legal advice.
As advised by its lawyers, Digital TV had reasonable grounds in defending the claim and, accordingly, had not made any provision in the consolidated financial statements in connection with the claim. Digital TV filed a defence in this section on 14 December 1998 and nCube had failed to take further action since that date. There was no progress since then in respect of the litigation.

On 4 May 1999, the Court ordered Stellar One to pay HK$200,000 to the court as security for the costs of Digital TV on or before 7 May 1999. Stellar One failed to pay that amount to the court. The petition was dismissed in November 1999 and Stellar One was to pay Digital TV its cost of the petition, which amounted to HK$254,000. Stellar One had indicated that it would proceed to arbitration in Honolulu to recover the alleged amount.
Digital TV took legal advice and was advised that the arbitration proceedings had not commenced as of the date of this document.
