Accordingly, SCOCE, China State Construction and CCE Macau are connected persons of the Company, and the Company is a connected person of China State Construction. The engagement by COLI Group of SCOCE, CSC Group and CCE Macau as construction contractors for its construction works under the SCOCE Engagement Agreement, the CSC Engagement Agreement and the CCE Macau Engagement Agreement constitutes non-exempt continuing connected transactions of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Acquisition is subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements set out in Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The engagement by COLI Group of SCOCE, CSC Group and CCE Macau as construction contractors for its construction works under the SCOCE Engagement Agreement, the CSC Engagement Agreement and the CCE Macau Engagement Agreement respectively constitutes non-exempt continuing connected transactions of the Company, and the Company is required to comply with the annual review, reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules in respect of the Continuing Connected Transactions. Refer to the section headed “D. Listing Rules Implications” below.
A. THE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT
Date: 21 November 2005 Parties: (1) GCOP, as purchaser of the Sale Interest
(2) SCO, as vendor of the Sale Interest
Assets Involved
11% of the existing registered capital of COP. Upon completion of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company will hold in aggregate 90% of the registered capital of COP. At present, COP is a 79%-owned subsidiary of the Company. The original purchase cost of the 11% of the existing registered capital of COP to SCO was RMB52,131,800 (approximately HK$49,180,900) as at 14 March 2002.
Consideration for the Acquisition
The purchase price payable by GCOP to SCO for the acquisition of the Sale Interest is RMB320,076,397 (approximately HK$307,765,767) and shall be paid in cash on completion. It will be funded by internal resources of the Company.
The said purchase price was determined after arm’s length negotiation between GCOP and SCO with reference to the unaudited net asset of COP as at 30 September 2005 (in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC) attributable to the Sale Interest of approximately RMB150,766,000 (approximately HK$144,967,000), adjusted to take into account an independent valuation of the properties of COP as at 30 September 2005 reflecting a premium of RMB169,310,578 (approximately HK$162,798,000) over the book value attributable to the Sale Interest. Any interests accrued on, and any liabilities attached to, the Sale Interest on or after 1 October 2005 shall belong to and be borne by GCOP.
— 7 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Completion
Completion of the Acquisition is conditional upon (a) the COLI Independent Shareholders’ approval of the Acquisition having been obtained at the COLI EGM; and (b) other requirements as may be imposed by the Stock Exchange as a condition to the Acquisition, if any. Completion shall take place within one month after the above conditions have been satisfied and in any event shall not be later than 31 March 2006 (or such later date as the parties may agree).
Information on COP
The Company’s existing interests and operations in property development and investment in Changchun, Shenzhen, Nanjing and Beijing in the PRC are held and managed under COP and its subsidiaries.
For the year ended 31 December 2004, the audited net profits before and after taxation of COP (in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC) were approximately RMB427,513,000 (approximately HK$403,314,000) and RMB344,689,000 (approximately HK$325,178,000) respectively. For the year ended 31 December 2003, the audited net profits before and after taxation of COP (in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC) were approximately RMB301,186,000 (approximately HK$284,138,000) and RMB241,297,000 (approximately HK$227,639,000) respectively. As at 31 December 2004, the audited net asset value of COP (in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC) was approximately RMB1,044,566,000 (approximately HK$985,440,000).
Reasons for and Benefit of the Acquisition
On 20 October 2005, the Company announced that the Directors have resolved to procure COP formally withdrawing the proposed spin-off and separate listing of COP on the Shanghai Stock Exchange A Share Market. The Directors consider that as COP may not be seeking a separate listing in the near future, the Acquisition provides a suitable opportunity for the Company to integrate the control of COP by eliminating influence of external shareholders. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the results, assets and liabilities of COP will continue to be consolidated into the consolidated financial statement of the Company as a subsidiary, with the remaining 10% staying as minority interests in such financial statements.
The Company will also seek to acquire from the three remaining independent minority shareholders the 10% equity interest in COP with the view to rendering COP a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. At present, no definitive agreements have been reached. Although these subsequent purchases will not constitute connected transaction for the Company, the Company will make separate announcement in respect of these subsequent purchases as and when required under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
The Directors consider that the terms of the Acquisition Agreement are normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
B. CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS
The Directors expect that COLI Group will invite SCOCE, CSC Group and CCE Macau to participate in competitive tender for COLI Group’s construction works in the PRC, Hong Kong and Macau respectively from time to time. In this connection, on 22 November 2005, the Company entered into the following agreements:
-
for the PRC market — the SCOCE Engagement Agreement with SCOCE on 22 November 2005 for a three-year term expiring on 31 December 2008 whereby the parties agreed that:
-
(a) SCOCE may continue to tender for COLI Group’s construction works in the PRC in accordance with the tendering procedure of COLI Group from time to time and on the same and normal terms as offered to other independent third party construction contractors; and
-
(b) if any contract is granted in favour of SCOCE as a result of the above tender, SCOCE may act as construction contractor for COLI Group in the PRC based on the terms of the successful tender provided that the total contract sum to be awarded by COLI Group to SCOCE each year shall not exceed HK$1,600 million, for each of the three financial years ending 31 December 2008.
The SCOCE Cap is calculated with reference to the following factors:
-
(i) total contract sum of new construction projects in the PRC of the COLI Group in each of the past three years ended 31 December 2004 of approximately HK$1,651 million, HK$1,378 million and HK$3,216 million respectively, including those projects set out in (ii) below;
-
(ii) total contract sum of new construction projects awarded to SCOCE in the PRC each year for the past three years ended 31 December 2004 of nil, approximately HK$175 million and HK$143 million respectively, representing nil, approximately 13% and 4% of the Company’s new PRC projects for the respective period;
-
(iii) total contract sum of new construction projects in the PRC of COLI Group in each of the next three financial years ending 31 December 2008 estimated with reference to COLI Group’s future growth and expansion in its land reserves in the PRC in the next three years; and
-
(iv) the maximum amount of projects which may be awarded by COLI Group to SCOCE in the next three financial years ending 31 December 2008 should not exceed 15%-20% of COLI Group’s total contract sum of new construction projects in the PRC as mentioned in (iii) above, such percentage being determined with reference to the historical level set out in (ii) above, but in any event will not exceed the amount of the SCOCE Cap.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
for Hong Kong market — the CSC Engagement Agreement with China State Construction on 22 November 2005 for a three-year term expiring on 31 December 2008 whereby the parties agreed that:
-
(a) CSC Group may continue to tender for COLI Group’s construction works in Hong Kong in accordance with the tendering procedure of COLI Group from time to time and on the same and normal terms as offered to other independent third party construction contractors; and
-
(b) if any contract is granted in favour of CSC Group as a result of the above tender, CSC Group may act as construction contractor for COLI Group in Hong Kong based on the terms of the successful tender provided that the total contract sum to be awarded by COLI Group to CSC Group each year shall not exceed HK$900 million for each of the three financial years ending 31 December 2008.
The Company has not undertaken any construction project in Hong Kong in the past two financial years ended 31 December 2004, and in fact, has not expanded its land reserves since 1998 for a number of years. In view of the recent recovery and improved sentiments in the Hong Kong property market, the Company has in 2004 begun to expand its land reserves in Hong Kong. The CSC Cap is therefore calculated with reference to the following factors:
- (i) total contract sum of new construction projects undertaken by COLI Group each year for the three financial years ended 31 December 1999 when the Company was still relatively active in the Hong Kong property market. The total contract sum in each of these years were approximately HK$294 million, HK$482 million and HK$868 million respectively all of which were awarded to entities in the CSC Group, being then wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company at the relevant time;
- (ii) total contract sum of new construction projects in Hong Kong of COLI Group in each of the next three financial years ending 31 December 2008 estimated with reference to COLI Group’s future growth and expansion in its land reserves in Hong Kong in the next three years; and
- (iii) the maximum amount of projects which may be awarded by COLI Group to CSC Group in the next three financial years ending 31 December 2008 should not exceed the highest of 100% of COLI Group’s total contract sum of new construction projects in Hong Kong as mentioned in (ii) above, but in any event will not exceed the amount of the CSC Cap.
-
for Macau market — the CCE Macau Engagement Agreement with CCE Macau on 22 November 2005 for a three-year term expiring on 31 December 2008 whereby the parties agreed that:
-
(a) CCE Macau may continue to tender for COLI Group’s construction works in Macau in accordance with the tendering procedure of COLI Group from time to time and on the same and normal terms as offered to other independent third party construction contractors; and
— 10 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
- (b) if any contract is granted in favour of CCE Macau as a result of the above tender, CCE Macau may act as construction contractor for COLI Group in Macau based on the terms of the successful tender provided that the total contract sum to be awarded by COLI Group to CCE Macau each year shall not exceed HK$200 million for each of the three financial years ending 31 December 2008.
The Company has not undertaken any construction project in Macau until early this year. In the light of the favourable development in Macau, the Directors believe there are ample opportunity in the Macau property market for the Company to expand and develop its business. The CCE Macau Cap is determined with particular attention to allow room for the Company to develop and expand its business in Macau and is calculated with reference to the following factors:
-
(i) total contract sum of new construction projects in Macau of COLI Group so far this year of approximately HK$900 million (including those projects set out in (ii) below);
-
(ii) total contract sum of new construction projects awarded to CCE Macau so far this year of approximately HK$56 million, representing approximately 6% of the Company’s new Macau projects for the respective period;
-
(iii) total contract sum of new construction projects in Macau of COLI Group in each of the next three financial years ending 31 December 2008 estimated with reference to COLI Group’s future growth and expansion in its land reserves in Macau in the next three years; and
-
(iv) the maximum amount of projects which may be awarded by COLI Group to CCE Macau in the next three financial years ending 31 December 2008 should not exceed 10% of COLI Group’s total contract sum of new construction projects in Macau as mentioned in (iii) above, such percentage being determined with reference to the percentage level set out in (ii) above, but in any event will not exceed the amount of the CCE Macau Cap.
The SCOCE Engagement Agreement (together with the SCOCE Cap) and the CCE Macau Engagement Agreement (together with the CCE Macau Cap) will take effect conditional upon the COLI Independent Shareholders’ approval having been obtained at the COLI EGM. The CSC Engagement Agreement (together with the CSC Cap) will take effect conditional upon the COLI Independent Shareholders’ and the CSC Independent Shareholders’ approval at the COLI EGM and the CSC EGM respectively.
Reasons for and Benefits of the Continuing Connected Transactions
The Directors consider that engaging SCOCE, CSC Group and CCE Macau as construction contractors upon successful tender allows the Company to secure a more diverse base of contractors to participate in the construction of its property development projects in the PRC, Hong Kong and Macau respectively.
— 11 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Directors confirm that the Continuing Connected Transactions are expected to be entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the COLI Group, and the SCOCE Engagement Agreement (together with the SCOCE Cap), the CSC Engagement Agreement (together with the CSC Cap) and the CCE Macau Engagement Agreement (together with the CCE Macau Cap) were agreed on normal commercial terms after arm’s length negotiations between the parties, and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Shareholders should note that each of the SCOCE Cap, the CSC Cap and the CCE Macau Cap represents the best estimates by the Directors of the amount of the relevant transactions based on the information currently available. They bear no direct relationships to, nor should be taken to have any direct bearings to, COLI Group’s financial or potential financial performance. COLI Group may or may not retain SCOCE, CSC Group or CCE Macau to engage in construction works up to the level of the caps, if at all, as their engagements are subject to tender procedures which are open to other independent third party contractors.
C. PRINCIPAL BUSINESS OF COLI GROUP AND THE RELEVANT PARTIES
COLI Group mainly engages in property development and investment, project management, infrastructure project investments, investment holding, real estate agency and management and treasury operations. It engages contractors to construct its property projects in the PRC, Hong Kong and Macau.
CSCEC is a main contractor participating mainly in the PRC construction market. SCO mainly engages in investment holding. SCOCE is a main contractor mainly participating in the PRC construction market. CSC Group is a main contractor mainly participating in the Hong Kong construction market and is principally engaged in building and civil construction and foundation engineering. CCE Macau is a main contractor mainly participating in the Macau construction market.
D. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
The applicable percentage ratios as defined in Rule 14A.10 of the Listing Rules and calculated with reference to the revenue attributable to the Sale Interest exceeds 2.5%. Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements set out in Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
The applicable percentage ratios as defined under Rule 14A.10 of the Listing Rules calculated for the Company in respect of the total contract sum that may be awarded under these agreements, i.e. the SCOCE Cap, the CSC Cap and the CCE Macau Cap, exceeds 2.5%. Accordingly, the engagement by COLI Group of SCOCE, CSC Group and CCE Macau as construction contractors for its construction works under the SCOCE Engagement Agreement, the CSC Engagement Agreement and the CCE Macau Engagement Agreement respectively constitutes non-exempt continuing connected transactions of the Company. As such, the Company is required to comply with the annual review, reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules in respect of the Continuing Connected Transactions.

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL
4.1.2 Overall financial performance of the Group
Historical financial results
For the past two years ended 31 December 2004, the Group has recorded audited turnover of approximately HK$7,618.0 million (2003) and HK$8,624.5 million (2004); and audited net profit attributable to equity holders of approximately HK$688.9 million (2003) and HK$1,075.1 million (2004) respectively. As at 31 December 2004, the audited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group amounted to approximately HK$10,543.1 million.
For the six months ended 30 June 2005, the Group has recorded unaudited turnover of approximately HK$2,730.8 million (HK$2,264.9 million (2004)); and unaudited net profit attributable to equity holders of approximately HK$576.0 million (HK$367.7 million (2004)). As at 30 June 2005, the unaudited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group amounted to approximately HK$10,918.4 million.
Although the Group’s audited turnover increased steadily over the last two financial years, the audited net profit attributable to equity holders demonstrates even higher growth during the same period. According to the Directors, the continued substantial increase in audited net profit from the financial year 2003 to the financial year 2004 was due to the strong performance of the Group’s property development projects in the PRC and the write-back of certain provisions for Hong Kong property projects made previously.
As stated in the interim report of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2005, the core business of the Group continued to grow in this period. The sale of properties in various regions in the PRC was sustained as scheduled. At the same time, the Group seized the opportunity by enlarging its land bank, creating a solid foundation for the further expansion of business operation.
In addition, the investment in domestic infrastructure and provincial facilities also recorded satisfactory overall performance. In May 2005, the Group has successfully received the Baa3 and BBB-ratings from Moody and Standard and Poor’s respectively, making it the pioneer among the domestic property developers for being granted two investment credit ratings.
Business strategy
As described in the Company’s 2004 annual report, the Group will pace itself with respect to development of its properties projects on hand, in accordance with the demand for properties in Hong Kong and Macau. In addition, it will selectively participate in the property investment projects of major consortiums in Hong Kong.
— 22 —
LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL
The Group will continue to leverage on pooled capital resources, management resources and technology resources, and expand into the real estate sector in the PRC, whilst limiting its risk exposure to a minimum.
-
a) The Group will consolidate its position in major cities, such as Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu; enhance its market share; and expand its business and promote its brands (positively and appropriately) in certain second tier cities that have potential.
-
b) The Group will continue to adopt its land reserve acquisition strategy for short, medium and long-term development purposes.
-
c) The Group will strengthen its sales and marketing efforts.
Prospects
As stated in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2004, the Directors have noted that the global economy in 2005 is expected to continue to grow in accordance with prevailing trends, yielding opportunities and challenges going forward. Amidst various uncertainties, such as persistent high oil prices, the mounting US budget and foreign trade deficits, geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East, and the uneven rate of economic development in the PRC, regional economic development will likely continue to be imbalanced. However, the Directors believe that the overall environment for economic development in the PRC will remain sound, and the national economy will grow in a steady and rapid manner. As such, income per capita in the PRC will continue to increase. Complemented by an effective real estate policy, the real estate sector in the PRC will begin to adopt measures to allow for more sustainable development. This will in turn create more room for future development, particularly for those more competent developers. The Directors also believe that the economic recovery in Hong Kong will evolve into a driving force for growth. Together with the benefits derived from continuous cooperation and exchange with the PRC economy, Hong Kong’s domestic economy will further improve. Following deregulation of the gaming industry in Macau, the Directors also believe that Macau’s economy will further improve. In sum, the Board is confident about the future development of the Group and its business operations in the PRC, Hong Kong and Macau.
We understand from the Company that it remains the Company’s corporate strategy to focus on investment in the PRC’s property market, with the ultimate objective of becoming one of the best nationwide property developers. The completion of the corporate re-organisation (which involves the disposal of construction related business, distribution in specie and separate listing of China State Construction) in July 2005 enabled the Group to realign itself and concentrate its limited resources on its property development business.

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL
4.1.3 Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition
As stated in the “Letter from the Board”, the Company’s existing interests and operation in property development and investment in Changchun, Shenzhen, Nanjing and Beijing in the PRC are held and managed under COP and its subsidiaries.
Also stated in the “Letter from the Board”, for the year ended 31 December 2004, the audited net profits before and after taxation of COP (in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC) were approximately RMB427,513,000 (approximately HK$403,314,000) and RMB344,689,000 (approximately HK$325,178,000) respectively. For the year ended 31 December 2003, the audited net profits before and after taxation of COP (in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC) were approximately RMB301,186,000 (approximately HK$284,138,000) and RMB241,297,000 (approximately HK$277,639,000) respectively. As at 31 December 2004, the audited net asset value of COP (in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC) was approximately RMB1,044,566,000 (approximately HK$985,440,000).
Back in September 2004, the Company announced that COP has filed an application for listing of its shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange A-Share Market. Subsequently in October 2005, the Company announced that the Directors have resolved to procure COP formally withdrawing the application for the proposed spin-off and separate listing of COP on the Shanghai Stock Exchange A-Share Market, on the basis of the change in securities market condition in the PRC and the continued sufficient cash position of the Group rendered it not cost effective to seek a separate listing of COP in the near future. As the Directors consider that as COP may not be seeking a separate listing in the near future and given the abovementioned positive view on the future of the property market in the PRC, the Acquisition provides a suitable opportunity for the Company to further consolidating the control of COP. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the result, the assets and liabilities of COP will continue to be consolidated into the financial statements of the Company as a 90% owned subsidiary with the remaining 10% staying as minority interests in such financial statements.
In addition to the Acquisition, the Company will seek to acquire from the three remaining independent minority shareholders the remaining 10% equity interest in COP, with the view to achieving total ownership of COP. Although these subsequent purchases, if consummated, will not constitute connected transaction for the Company, the Company will keep Shareholders informed of such developments by way of announcement(s) as and when required under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
Taking into account the Company’s business strategy, its view on the potential prospects of the PRC property market and the reasons for the Acquisition described above, we concur with the Directors’ view and are of the view that the Acquisition is a step consistent with the Company’s stated business strategy and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL
4.1.4 Terms of the Acquisition Agreement
Assets to be acquired
The Company shall acquire 11% of the existing registered capital of COP.
The original purchase cost of the 11% of the existing registered capital of COP to SCO was RMB52,131,800 (approximately HK$49,180,900 adopting the then reference exchange rate of HK$1 = RMB1.06) as at 14 March 2002.
Consideration
The purchase price payable by GCOP to SCO for the acquisition of the Sale Interest is RMB320,076,397 (approximately HK$307,765,767) and shall be paid in cash on completion. It will be funded by internal resources of the Company.
We have identified 7 listed companies in Hong Kong on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange which are engaged in property development business in the PRC with market capitalisation over HK$1,000 million and below HK$4,000 million as at the Latest Practicable Date, and the net asset value over HK$1,000 million (together the “Comparables”) and we have, accordingly, compared their market statistics of the Comparables with the purchase price.

Notes:
-
Source: Bloomberg.
-
The financial information of these companies are extracted from their latest audited financial report for the year ended 31 December 2004, except for Far East Consortium International Limited is for the financial year ended 31 March 2005.
-
This is the value of the entire COP based on the consideration payable for the Sale Interest of RMB320,076,397 (approximately HK$307,765,767).
-
This is the sum of the unaudited net asset value of COP as at 30 September 2005 of RMB1,370,598,355 (approximately HK$1,317,883,033) and the revaluation surplus of approximately RMB1,539,187,072 (approximately HK$1,479,987,570).
On the basis of the aforesaid purchase price, the entire COP is valued at approximately RMB2,909,785,427 (approximately HK$2,797,870,603). Based on the aforesaid audited net profits after taxation of COP for the year ended 31 December 2004 (in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC) of approximately RMB344,689,000 (approximately HK$325,178,000), the consideration of the Acquisition would represent a historical price/earnings ratio (“PER”) of approximately 8.60 times. We have also compared this PER with the historical PER of the Company (being approximately 19.77 times as at the Latest Practicable Date), and noted that the Company’s historical PER is significantly higher than the historical PER of COP. We have compared the historical PER of the Comparables with the historical PER of COP at approximately 8.60 times, and noted that it falls below the market average of the historical PER of the Comparables at approximately 10.72 times and is at the lower range of historical PER of the Comparables.
As stated in the “Letter from the Board”, the consideration of the Acquisition was determined after arm’s length negotiation between GCOP and SCO and was arrived at with reference to the unaudited net asset value of COP as at 30 September 2005 (in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC) attributable to the Sale Interest of approximately RMB150,766,000 (approximately HK$144,967,000), adjusted to take into account an independent valuation of properties of COP as at 30 September 2005 reflecting a premium of RMB169,310,578 (approximately HK$162,798,000) over the book value attributable to the Sale Interest. Any interests accrued on, and any liabilities attached to, the Sale Interest on or after 1 October 2005 shall belong to and be borne by GCOP. In other words, based on the sum of (i) the unaudited net asset value of COP as at 30 September 2005 (i.e. RMB1,370,598,355 or approximately HK$1,317,883,033) and (ii) the revaluation surplus arising from the revaluation of the properties of COP as at 30 September 2005 of approximately RMB1,539,187,072 (approximately HK$1,479,987,570), which is approximately RMB2,909,785,427 (approximately HK$2,797,870,603), the price to book value ratio (“PBR”) was 1.00 time. We have compared the historical PBR of the Comparables and noticed that the PBR of COP at 1.00 time represents slightly higher than the average historical PBR of approximately 0.98 time, but is lower than the
— 26 —
LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL
historical PBR of the Company at approximately 2.04 times. Shareholders should note that the historical PBR of the Company and the Comparables may not have taken into account any adjustments arising from the revaluation of their respective property interests. Accordingly, we have incorporated the historical PBRs in the table above for your information only.
Based on the above analysis, in particular, the price payable for the Sale Interest is (i) at a lower than the market average historical PER and (ii) equivalent to the adjusted NAV of Sale Interest; and the reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition set out in this letter, we are of the view that the purchase price payable by the Group under the Acquisition is fair and reasonable.
5. POSSIBLE FINANCIAL EFFECTS ON THE COMPANY AS A RESULT OF THE ACQUISITION
Upon Completion, COP will become a 90%-owned subsidiary of the Company and the financial results of COP will continue to be consolidated into the Group.
Net asset value
Given the cash consideration payable for the Sale Interest is equivalent to the adjusted NAV of the Sale Interest, there will be no effect to the NAV of the Group following the completion of the Acquisition.
Earnings base
Based on the audited net profit of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2004 of approximately HK$1,075.1 million and the audited net asset value of the Group as at 31 December 2004 of approximately HK$10,431.7 million, the return on capital employed (“ROCE”, being net profit/net asset value) was approximately 10.31%. Based on the attributable portion of the 11% of the unaudited net profit of COP for the nine months ended 30 September 2005 of approximately RMB34.2 million (approximately HK$32.9 million) and the consideration payable for the Sale Interest of approximately RMB320.1 million (approximately HK$307.8 million), the historical earnings yield was approximately 10.69%. Given the aforesaid historical earnings yield is higher than the ROCE of the Group, we are of the view that upon completion of the Acquisition, there may be an enhancement to the earnings of the Group.
Cash and gearing position
As at 30 June 2005, the bank balances and cash of the Group amount to approximately HK$1,824.5 million. Since the purchase price will be settled in cash, the cash position of the Group will be reduced by approximately HK$307,765,767 following completion of the Acquisition. As the purchase price will be financed by the internal resources of the Group (i.e. no borrowings), there will be no impact to the gearing (i.e. total liabilities/shareholders’ equity) of the Group following completion of the Acquisition.
— 27 —
LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL
Based on the analysis mentioned above, in particular, (i) there will be no impact to the net asset value of the Group; (ii) there may be an enhancement to the earnings of the Group; and (iii) there will be no impact to the gearing position of the Group (though the cash balance will be reduced), we are of the view that the Acquisition were agreed on normal and commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Shareholders are concerned and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
6. BACKGROUND TO AND REASONS FOR THE CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS
The principal activities of the Group are set out in paragraph 4.1.1 above.
SCOCE is a main contractor mainly participating in the PRC construction market.
CSC Group is a main contractor mainly participating in the Hong Kong construction market and is principally engaged in building and civil construction and foundation engineering.
CCE Macau is a main contractor mainly participating in the Macau construction market.
CSCEC is the immediate holding company of SCOCE and, through COHL, the ultimate holding company of both the Company and China State Construction. CCE Macau is a wholly owned subsidiary of COHL, which in turn is 100% owned by CSCEC. Accordingly, SCOCE, China State Construction and CCE Macau are connected persons of the Company, and the Company is a connected person of China State Construction.
The Directors expect that the Group will, in the ordinary and usual course of its business, continues to invite SCOCE, CSC Group and CCE Macau to participate in competitive tender for the Group’s construction works in the PRC, Hong Kong and Macau respectively from time to time. The Directors consider that through engaging SCOCE, CSC Group and CCE Macau as potential construction contractors, it would allow the Company to broaden its access to a greater number of qualifying contractors, so as to allow the Company more choices in the award of its tenders to firms to participate in the construction of its property development projects in the PRC, Hong Kong and Macau respectively.
Having considered the reasons mentioned above, we concur with the view of the Directors and are of the view that it is reasonable for the Company to enter into the SCOCE Engagement Agreement, the CSC Engagement Agreement and the CCE Macau Engagement Agreement.
7. TERMS OF THE CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS
As stated in the “Letter from the Board” and set out in each of the SCOCE Engagement Agreement, the CSC Engagement Agreement and the CCE Macau Engagement Agreement, each of SCOCE, CSC Group and CCE Macau may continue to tender for the Group’s construction works in the PRC, Hong Kong and Macau in accordance with the tendering procedures laid down by the Group from time to time and on the same and normal terms as offered to other independent third party construction contractors.
— 28 —
LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL
The Directors confirm that the Continuing Connected Transactions are expected to be entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, and the SCOCE Engagement Agreement (together with the SCOCE Cap), the CSC Engagement Agreement (together with the CSC Cap) and the CCE Macau Engagement Agreement (together with the CCE Macau Cap) were agreed on normal commercial terms after arm’s length negotiations between the parties, and were fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
We have discussed with the senior management of the Company about the normal tendering procedures for construction projects of the Group (between the Group and independent third party construction contractors, and between the Group and SCOCE, CSC Group and CCE Macau) with contract sum range between HK$50 million to HK$4,000 million. We understand that the construction contracts were awarded (i) through a competitive tender process in accordance with the tendering procedures laid down by the Group from time to time; and (ii) the decision to award a construction contract to selected contractor(s) depends on the recommendation of the independent architectural firm or qualified surveyor who has reviewed and considered the following factors of the selected construction contractor, in particular, its past experience, its financial track record and the latest available financial position, and the estimated cost of the construction project. Based on the aforesaid, we are of the view that by entering into the SCOCE Engagement Agreement, the CSC Engagement Agreement and the CCE Macau Engagement Agreement help to formalise the arrangement to engage each of the aforesaid connected person as construction contractors in the future and quantify the maximum amount of projects which may be awarded by the Group to each of these connected persons in the next three financial year ending 31 December 2008, which is beneficial to the Company and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
8. COMMERCIAL JUSTIFICATION FOR DETERMINING THE RELEVANT CAPS IN RELATION TO THE CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS
As stated in the “Letter from the Board”, the respective caps of the Continuing Connected Transactions will be as follows:
-
(i) SCOCE Cap — the total contract sum to be awarded by the Group to SCOCE each year shall not exceed HK$1,600 million for each of the financial years ending 31 December 2008;
-
(ii) CSC Cap — the total contract sum to be awarded by the Group to CSC Group each year shall not exceed HK$900 million for each of the financial years ending 31 December 2008; and
-
(iii) CCE Macau Cap — the total contract sum to be awarded by the Group to CCE Macau each year shall not exceed HK$200 million for each of the financial years ending 31 December 2008.
— 29 —
LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL
Also stated in the “Letter from the Board”, the respective caps are calculated with reference to the following factors:
The SCOCE Cap is calculated with reference to the following factors:
-
(i) total contract sum of new construction projects in the PRC of the Group in each of the past three years ended 31 December 2004 of approximately HK$1,651 million, HK$1,378 million and HK$3,216 million respectively, including those project set out in (ii) below;
-
(ii) total contract sum of new construction projects awarded to SCOCE in the PRC each year for the past three years ended 31 December 2004 of nil, approximately HK$175 million and HK$143 million respectively, representing nil, approximately 13% and 4% of the Company’s new PRC projects for the respective period;
-
(iii) total contract sum of new construction projects in the PRC of the Group in each of the next three financial years ending 31 December 2008 estimated with reference to the Group’s future growth and expansion in its land reserves in the PRC in the next three years; and
-
(iv) the maximum amount of projects which may be awarded by the Group to SCOCE in the next three financial years ending 31 December 2008 should not exceed 15%-20% of the Group’s total contract sum of new construction projects in the PRC as mentioned in (iii) above, such percentage being determined with reference to the historical level set out in (ii) above, but in any event will not exceed the amount of the SCOCE Cap.
The CSC Cap is therefore calculated with reference to the following factors:
-
(i) total contract sum of new construction projects undertaken by the Group each year for the three financial years ended 31 December 1999 where the Company was still relatively active in the Hong Kong property market. The total contract sum in each of these years were approximately HK$294 million, HK$482 million and HK$868 million respectively all of which were awarded to entities in the CSC Group, being then wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company at the relevant time;
-
(ii) total contract sum of new construction projects in Hong Kong of the Group in each of the next three financial years ending 31 December 2008 estimated with reference to the Group’s future growth and expansion in its land reserves in Hong Kong in the next three years; and
-
(iii) the maximum amount of projects which may be awarded by the Group to CSC Group in the next three financial years ending 31 December 2008 should not exceed the highest of 100% of the Group’s total contract sum of new construction projects in Hong Kong as mentioned in (ii) above, but in any event will not exceed the amount of CSC Cap.
— 30 —
LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL
The CCE Macau Cap is determined with particular attention to allow room for COLI to develop and expand its business in Macau and its calculated with reference to the following factors:
-
(i) total contract sum of new construction projects in Macau of the Group so far this year of approximately HK$900 million (including those projects set out in (ii) below);
-
(ii) total contract sum of new construction projects awarded to CCE Macau so far this year of approximately HK$56 million, representing approximately 6% of the Company’s new Macau projects for the respectively period;
-
(iii) total contract sum of new construction projects in Macau of the Group in each of the next three financial years ending 31 December 2008 estimated with reference to the Group’s future growth and expansion in its land reserves in Macau in the next three years; and
-
(iv) the maximum amount of projects which may be awarded by the Group to CCE Macau in the next three financial years ending 31 December 2008 should not exceed 10% of the Group’s total contract sum of new construction projects in Macau as mentioned in (iii) above, such percentage being determined with reference to the percentage level set out in (ii) above, but in any event will not exceed the amount of the CCE Macau Cap.
Shareholders should note that each of the SCOCE Cap, the CSC Cap and the CCE Macau Cap represents the best estimates by the Directors of the amount of the relevant transactions based on the information currently available. They bear no direct relationships to, nor should be taken to have any direct bearings to, the Group’s financial or potential financial performance. The Group may or may not retain SCOCE, CSC Group or CCE Macau to engage in construction works up to the level of the caps, if at all, as their engagements are subject to tender procedures which are open to other independent third party contractors.
Having taken into account (i) the total contract sum of construction projects in the PRC, Hong Kong and Macau of the Group in the past as described above; and (ii) the total contract sum of construction projects awarded to SCOCE, CSC Group and CCE Macau in the past as described above, the Directors estimate the total contract sum of new construction projects in the PRC, Hong Kong and Macau in each of the three financial years ending 31 December 2008 with reference to the Group’s future growth and expansion in its land reserves in the PRC, Hong Kong and Macau in the next three years.
We have also noted (i) the businesses and prospects of the Group as described in paragraph 4.1.2 above, which indicates the growth potential in the property markets which the Group currently operates (i.e. the PRC, Hong Kong and Macau); and (ii) the long-term business strategy of the Group as described in paragraph 4.1.3 above, which is to focus on investment in the property market, in particular, the PRC, with the ultimate objective of becoming one of the best nationwide property developers.
— 31 —
LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL
On the basis of the aforesaid reasons and factors, we concur with the view of the Directors and are of the view that the SCOCE Cap, the CSC Cap and the CCE Macau Cap for each of the three financial years ending 31 December 2008 are reasonable and acceptable. Accordingly, we consider that the Continuing Connected Transactions are expected to be entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and the terms of each of the SCOCE Engagement Agreement (together with the SCOCE Cap), the CSC Engagement Agreement (together with CSC Cap) and the CCE Macau Engagement Agreement (together with the CCE Macau Cap) were agreed on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

Dear Sirs,
In accordance with your instructions for us to value the property interests as listed in the attached summary of valuations, we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing China Overseas Property Group Co., Ltd. (the “COP Company”) or its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “COP Group”) in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) with our opinion of the values of such property interests as at 30 September 2005 (the “date of valuation”).
Our valuation of the property represents its Market Value which in accordance with the Valuation Standards on Properties of The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors is defined as the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
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.
In the course of our valuation of the property interests in the PRC, we have assumed that transferable land use rights in respect of the property interests for the specific term at nominal annual land use fees have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid. We have relied on the advice given by the COP Group and its PRC legal adviser, , regarding the title to the property interests and the interests of the COP Group in the properties.

We have assumed that approvals for the proposals have been obtained. In arriving at our opinion of value, we have valued them by the Direct Comparison Approach by making reference to comparable sales evidences in the relevant locality.
