LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject matter

Pursuant to the Share Transfer Agreement, the Company has conditionally agreed to acquire for, and the Vendors have conditionally agreed to dispose of, the Sale Interests, representing the entire equity interests of the Target Company, at the Consideration of RMB305 million (subject to adjustments) to be settled by way of cash.

The transfer of the Sale Interests will be conducted in three phases: (i) transfer of 51% of the Sale Interests (38% from Xiamen Ruitailong and 13% from the Individual Vendors) upon signing of the Share Transfer Agreement; (ii) transfer of 32% of the Sale Interests (16% from Xiamen Ruitailong and 16% from the Individual Vendors) in 2016; and (iii) transfer of 17% of the Sale Interests (6% from Xiamen Ruitailong and 11% from the Individual Vendors) in 2017 and the consideration would be adjusted based on the performance of the Target Company for the three years ending 31 December 2016 as detailed in the subsection headed “Adjustments to the Consideration” below.

Upon completion of the Phase I Transfer, each of the Vendors will execute an irrevocable power of attorney, with effect from the date of signing of the power of attorney until he/it cease to be a shareholder of the Target Company, to assign his/its rights on his/its remaining interests in the Target Company (i.e. 49% of the Sale Interests in aggregate) to the Company. Accordingly, the Company will be entitled to (i) 100% dividends or distribution (if any) as well as the net assets of the Target Company; (ii) the rights to nominate/ elect/appoint the legal representative, directors, supervisor, general manager and other senior management of the Target Company; (iii) 100% of the voting rights attached to the Sale Interest; (iv) entitlement of any gain or loss arising from the liquidation of the Target Company; and (v) entitlement to the excess of disposal proceeds from disposal of the 49% of the Sale Interests after deducting the respective Consideration set out in the Share Transfer Agreement, after the completion of the Phase I Transfer (the “ Rights Entitlement ”). As such, the Company is able to ensure that it receives all or substantially all of the returns to which it would be entitled as if it has already owned the Sale Interests. Therefore, the Company will in-substance have 100% ownership interest in the Target Company despite the legal title of the 49% of the Sale Interests is not registered under the name of the Company subsequent to the completion of the Phase I Transfer.

Upon completion of the Phase I Transfer, the Target Company will become a subsidiary of the Company and 100% of its financial results will be consolidated into the financial results of the Group.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Target Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and 100% of its financial results will continue to be consolidated into the financial results of the Group.

The above arrangement was arrived after arm’s length negotiations among the Vendors and the Company after taking into account that (i) the Company intended to acquire 100% of the Sale Interests under the Acquisition; and (ii) conducting the transfer of the Sale Interests in three phrases would allow the possible adjustments to the Consideration which shall motivate the Individual Vendors on the operation of the Target Company and facilitate the execution of the Continuing Employment Undertakings.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Phase I Conditions (i), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) are not waivable.

Completion of the Phase II Transfer is subject to the signing of the settlement agreement for the execution of the Phase II Transfer.

Completion of the Phase III Transfer is subject to the signing of the settlement agreement for the execution of the Phase III Transfer.

As the actual considerations for Phase II Transfer and Phase III Transfer are subject to possible adjustments as stipulated under the sub-section headed “Adjustments to the Consideration” below, execution of relevant settlement agreements is necessary for the confirmation of the actual considerations for the Phase II Transfer and the Phase III Transfer.

Consideration

The Consideration of RMB305 million (subject to adjustments) was arrived after arm’s length negotiations among the Vendors and the Company after taking into account the valuation of the entire equity interest of the Target Company of approximately RMB307.77 million as at 28 February 2014 (the “ Valuation ”), which was concluded by the Valuer by adopting the market approach. The Valuer had considered the market approach and the income approach in preparing the Valuation and adopted the result of the market approach for the Valuation. The results of the income approach was not adopted as (i) the results from the income approach contain uncertainties in the future expected revenue of the Target Company which may be affected by economic conditions of the PRC and PRC government’s macroeconomic policies; and (ii) the income approach requires the adoption of assumptions which may or may not be valid throughout the forecast period. As such, the appraisal results based on the income approach is considered not as convincing as those based on the market approach. On the other hand, the market approach can better reflects the market fair value of the Target Company as it is based on the realistic value of market reference items of the Target Company and the data and information required for the relevant appraisal are directly from the market. The results of the income approach is approximately RMB310.85 million, representing a premium of approximately 1% over the results of the market approach. Details of the Valuation are set out in the appraisal report on the Target Company contained in Appendix V to this circular. The Consideration represents a slight discount to the Valuation. The Consideration shall be payable by the Company to the Vendors in three phases.

Save as and except for the Minimum Consideration (as defined below) which is entitled to Xiamen Ruitailong, the Consideration shall be paid by the Company to the Vendors in proportion to their respective equity interest in the Target Company to be disposed under the Acquisition.

Subject to adjustments, the consideration for the Phase I Transfer is RMB155.55 million (“ Phase I Consideration ”), the consideration for the Phase II Transfer is RMB97.60 million (“ Phase II Consideration ”) and the consideration for the Phase III Transfer is RMB51.85 million (“ Phase III Consideration ”). The Consideration is payable by the Company in cash according to the below schedule:

Adjustments to the Consideration

Pursuant to the Share Transfer Agreement, the minimum Consideration which is payable to Xiamen Ruitailong is RMB47.00 million (the “ Minimum Consideration ”) which was arrived after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and Xiamen Ruitailong. The respective minimum consideration under the Phase I Transfer, the Phase II Transfer and the Phase III Transfer for Xiamen Ruitailong are RMB23.97 million, RMB15.04 million and RMB7.99 million respectively (the “ Phase I/Phase II/Phase III Minimum Consideration ”). For avoidance of doubt, the Minimum Consideration is only entitled to Xiamen Ruitailong. Such arrangement was arrived after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and Xiamen Ruitailong after taking into account the majority stake in the Target Company (i.e. 60% of the Sale Interests) held by Xiamen Ruitailong.

Pursuant to the Share Transfer Agreement, the Consideration is subject to adjustments with reference to the guarantee provided by the Vendors severally on the audited net profit after tax (excluding extraordinary items) of the Target Company of RMB28,587,500, RMB31,470,900 and RMB34,596,500 for the three years ending 31 December 2016 respectively (the “ 2014/2015/2016 Guaranteed Profit ”), in the following manners:

Adjustment I

The Phase II Consideration will be adjusted in the following manner:

  • A. Should the sum of the audited net profit after tax (excluding extraordinary items) for the two years ending 31 December 2015 (the “ 2014/2015 Actual Profit ”) exceed 110% of the sum of the 2014/2015 Guaranteed Profit (i.e. RMB60,058,400), the Phase II Consideration would be:

Phase II Minimum Consideration + (Consideration – Minimum Consideration) X 32% X 110%

  • B. Should the sum of the 2014/2015 Actual Profit fall between 85% to 110% of the sum of the 2014/2015 Guaranteed Profit, the Phase II Consideration would be:

  • Phase II Minimum Consideration + (Consideration – Minimum Consideration) X 32% X the sum of the 2014/2015 Actual Profit ÷ the sum of the 2014/2015 Guaranteed Profit

  • C. Should the sum of the 2014/2015 Actual Profit fall below 85% of the sum of 2014/2015 Guaranteed Profit, the Phase II Consideration would be:

  • Phase II Minimum Consideration + (Consideration – Minimum Consideration) ÷ 2 X 32% X the sum of the 2014/2015 Actual Profit ÷ the sum of the 2014/2015 Guaranteed Profit

Accordingly, for illustration purpose, the maximum amount of the Phase II Consideration (based on Adjustment I(A)) will be:

RMB15.04 million + (RMB305 million – RMB47 million) X 32% X 110% = RMB105.856 million

  • 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Out of the above amount, Xiamen Ruitailong and the Individual Vendors will be entitled to RMB60.448 million and RMB45.408 million respectively.

Adjustment II

Should the sum of the 2014/2015 Actual Profit fall below 60% of the sum of 2014/2015 Guaranteed Profit, the Vendors will compensate the Company in cash in the amount to be determined by the formula below:

Cash compensation =

  • (Phase I Consideration – Phase I Minimum Consideration) X (the sum of 2014/2015 Guaranteed Profit – the sum of the 2014/2015 Actual Profit) ÷ the sum of the 2014/2015/2016 Guaranteed Profit

The maximum amount of cash compensation under Adjustment II is the difference between the Phase I Consideration and the Phase I Minimum Consideration and such cash compensation shall be paid by the Vendors to the Company in 2016 at the same time of the payment of the Phase II Consideration.

Adjustment III

The Phase III Consideration will be adjusted in the following manner:

  • A. Should the sum of the audited net profit after tax (excluding extraordinary items) for the three years ending 31 December 2016 (the “ 2014/2015/2016 Actual Profit ”) exceed 110% of the sum of the 2014/2015/2016 Guaranteed Profit (i.e. RMB94,654,900), the Phase III Consideration would be:

Phase III Minimum Consideration + (Consideration – Minimum Consideration) X 17% X 110%

  • B. Should the sum of the 2014/2015/2016 Actual Profit fall between 85% to 110% of the sum of the 2014/2015/2016 Guaranteed Profit, the Phase III Consideration would be:

  • Phase III Minimum Consideration + (Consideration – Minimum Consideration) X 17% X the sum of the 2014/2015/2016 Actual Profit ÷ the sum of the 2014/2015/2016 Guaranteed Profit

  • C. Should the sum of the 2014/2015/2016 Actual Profit fall below 85% of the sum of the 2014/ 2015/2016 Guaranteed Profit, the Phase III Consideration would be:

  • Phase III Minimum Consideration + (Consideration – Minimum Consideration) ÷ 2 X 17% X the sum of the 2014/2015/2016 Actual Profit ÷ the sum of the 2014/2015/2016 Guaranteed Profit

Accordingly, for illustration purpose, the maximum amount of the Phase III Consideration (based on Adjustment III(A)) will be:

RMB7.99 million + (RMB305 million – RMB47 million) X 17% X 110% = RMB56.236 million

  • 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Out of the above amount, Xiamen Ruitailong and the Individual Vendors will be entitled to RMB25.018 million and RMB31.218 million respectively.

Adjustment IV

Should the sum of the 2014/2015/2016 Actual Profit fall below 60% of the sum of 2014/2015/2016 Guaranteed Profit, the Vendors will compensate the Company in cash in the amount to be determined by the formulae below:

  • A. In the event that Adjustment I(A) or I(B) above apply,

Cash compensation =

(Phase I Consideration + Phase II Consideration – Phase I Minimum Consideration – Phase II Minimum Consideration) X (the sum of 2014/2015/2016 Guaranteed Profit – the sum of the 2014/ 2015/2016 Actual Profit) ÷ the sum of the 2014/2015/2016 Guaranteed Profit

The maximum amount of cash compensation under Adjustment IV(A) is the difference between (i) the aggregated amount of the Phase I Consideration and the Phase II Consideration; and (ii) the aggregated amount of the Phase I Minimum Consideration and the Phase II Minimum Consideration. Such cash compensation shall be paid by the Vendors to the Company in 2017/2018 (as the case may be) at the same time of the payment of the Phase III Consideration.

  • B. In the event that Adjustment I(C) above apply,

Cash compensation =

(Phase I Consideration – Phase I Minimum Consideration) X (the sum of 2014/2015/2016 Guaranteed Profit – the sum of the 2014/2015/2016 Actual Profit) ÷ the sum of the 2014/2015/ 2016 Guaranteed Profit – Cash compensation paid under Adjustment II (if any)

The maximum amount of cash compensation under Adjustment IV(B) is the difference between the Phase I Consideration and the Phase I Minimum Consideration and such cash compensation shall be paid by the Vendors to the Company in 2017/2018 (as the case may be) at the same time of the payment of the Phase III Consideration.

Adjustment V

After 31 December 2016, the Company will engage an intermediary who is an Independent Third Party and qualified to carry out securities and futures business to conduct impairment test on the then entire equity interest of the Target Company and prepare an impairment test report. If the amount impaired as at 31 December 2016 exceed the aggregated cash compensation made by the Vendors under Adjustment II and Adjustment IV (if any), the Vendors shall further compensate the Company in cash for such difference. The maximum amount of cash compensation under Adjustment V is the difference between the Consideration and the Minimum Consideration. Such cash compensation shall be paid by the Vendors to the Company in 2017/2018 (as the case may be) at the same time of the payment of the Phase III Consideration.

  • 12 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Save as and except for the Phase II Minimum Consideration and the Phase III Minimum Consideration which are entitled to Xiamen Ruitailong, the Phase II Consideration and the Phase III Consideration (after possible adjustments in accordance with Adjustment I and Adjustment III, if any) shall be paid by the Company to the Vendors in proportion to their respective equity interest in the Target Company to be transferred under the Phase II Transfer and the Phase III Transfer.

For avoidance of doubt, the Company will be entitled to the cash compensation under all of the Adjustment II, Adjustment IV and Adjustment V when the relevant conditions are satisfied.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE ACQUISITION

Upon Completion, the Target Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group and all the profit and loss and assets and liabilities of the Target Company will be consolidated to the financial statements of the Group. The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group is set out in Appendix IV to this circular.

Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix IV to this circular, the unaudited pro forma consolidated assets of the Group would increase from approximately RMB1,172 million as at 31 December 2013 to approximately RMB1,196 million and the unaudited pro forma consolidated total liabilities of the Group would increase from approximately RMB340 million as at 31 December 2013 to approximately RMB366 million, as a result of the Acquisition.

In light of (i) the historical financial performance of the Target Company; (ii) that the Acquisition is in line with the Group’s strategic planning as detailed in the sub-section headed “Financial and trading prospect of the Enlarged Group” in Appendix I to this circular; and (iii) the future prospects of the Target Company, the Directors are of the view that the Acquisition would likely to have a positive impact on the future turnover and earnings of the Enlarged Group.

Shareholders should note that since the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the Target Company may be different at completion of the Acquisition as compared to their respective values used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group, the actual amounts of assets and liabilities and the goodwill to be recorded in the financial statements of the Group may be different from the estimated amounts shown in Appendix IV to this circular. As the above information is for illustrative purposes only and because of its hypothetical nature, it may not give a true picture of the results and financial position of the Enlarged Group for any future financial periods or dates.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION

As one of the highest percentage ratios of the Acquisition calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules exceeds 25% but is less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the approval by the Shareholders under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The Company has obtained a written approval from BSAM, the controlling shareholder of the Company holding 1,834,541,756 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date (representing approximately 63.31% of the issued share capital of the Company), in respect of the Share Transfer Agreement and transactions contemplated herein. As no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Acquisition and no qualified opinion has been issued by the auditors in the accountants’ report on the Target Company, all conditions under Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules have been fulfilled, no waiver is required to be obtained from the Stock Exchange.

Hence, no general meeting of the Company will be held for approving the Acquisition.

APPENDIX I

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECT OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

In 2013, the Group recorded steady growth in its traditional core businesses and achieved remarkable results in new business development, and also made breakthrough in management innovation which in turns further enhanced shareholder value. The Group recorded a turnover of approximately RMB754.8 million, the highest level in history, representing an increase of approximately 43.47% as compared with the corresponding period of last year. Profit attributable to shareholders amounted to approximately RMB82.9 million, representing a decrease of approximately 3.15% as compared with the previous year. The decrease was due to the increase in investment in research and development activities focusing on areas such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing and Big Data as the Company expedited expansion of smart city business in the national market. By continuously enriching the important IT infrastructures of smart city operated by the Company, the Group further extended our business to the downstream customers, laying a solid foundation for future development. Leveraging on the cloud computing technology and national service network, the new businesses of the Company showed a rapid growth momentum.

The Company continued to optimize corporate management and build its core competitiveness, transforming from a “Digital Beijing operator” to a “smart city service provider”. Capitalizing on the Internet of Things and our leading position in Beijing market, the Company provided integrated solution service in respect of various smart city areas during the year, and developed products with proprietary intellectual property rights.

While making efforts to consolidate and develop our core businesses, the Company also proactively explored the market to reinforce its leading position in the industry and increase the market share of housing information service business, so as to improve its overall competitive strength. As the pioneer in implementing our strategy of “industrializing to expand throughout China”, the housing information service business achieved remarkable results in market expansion.

To accelerate the expansion of housing information service business, the Company successfully acquired Shanghai Hengyue Computer Technology Co., Ltd. which engaged in housing information business in Shanghai for years, facilitating the rapid expansion of housing information business in the markets of Shanghai and its surrounding cities. At present, the housing information business has preliminarily formed a business development network with Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou at the core and covering the surrounding cities at fast pace, accumulating precious experience for the successful expansion of other businesses to other cities.

Looking forward, upholding the principle of “technology innovation” and leveraging on its own technology and industry advantage, the Company will promote development in the high-end IT business areas of Internet of Things, cloud computing and Big Data and enhance our core competitiveness so as to achieve sustainable development. Through investments, acquisitions and mergers and operation on the capital market, the Company will work hard to achieve great strides in development and build a long-lasting brand. In particular, the company will look for suitable investment opportunities for mergers and acquisitions in industries such as electricity, tobacco, finance and education.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Group will further facilitate its development strategies of industry-specific, product centered development and business expansion in the nation.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

As the Target Company already has extensive project experience and client base in the field of tobacco information technology, the Group would be able to promptly penetrate into the tobacco industry through the Acquisition. In addition, the Acquisition would enrich the Group’s image as an industry-specific company with diversified client base and revenue sources as well as reducing the Group’s operation risks.

By incorporating the Target Company’s experience in product centered development, the Group would be able to accelerate the construction of a standardised technology platform to improve the overall research and development capabilities and efficiency, and hence promote the level of product centered development of the Group.

The Group would be able to further expand its business across the nation based on the Target Company’s existing service delivery team and service network. In particular, the Group would proactively explore markets outside Beijing with supports from the Target Company’s existing network, so as to improve the Group’s marketing capabilities across the nation and cultivate market resources and delivery capabilities over the nation.

Moreover, as the Group will share qualifications, products and market resources with the Target Company after completion of the Acquisition, it is expected that the Group will realise synergetic effects with the Target Company. While the Group will exploit its advantages in capital, qualifications and brand name to assist the Target Company in obtaining larger scale projects, the Group will also promote the Target Company’s existing products to the stated-owned enterprises headquartered in Beijing.

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HKFRSS

For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Financial Information for the Relevant Periods and the two months ended 28 February 2013, the Target Company has consistently applied all of the new and revised Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”), HKFRSs, amendments and interpretations (“Int”s) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “new and revised HKFRSs”) issued by the HKICPA which are effective for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2014.

The Target Company has not early applied the following new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:

Amendments to HKFRSs Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle1
Amendments to HKFRSs Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle1

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle

The Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle include a number of amendments to various HKFRSs, which are summarised below.

The amendments to HKFRS 2 (i) change the definitions of ‘vesting condition’ and ‘market condition’; and (ii) add definitions for ‘performance condition’ and ‘service condition’ which were previously included within the definition of ‘vesting condition’. The amendments to HKFRS 2 are effective for share-based payment transactions for which the grant date is on or after 1 July 2014.

The amendments to HKFRS 3 clarify that contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability should be measured at fair value at each reporting date, irrespective of whether the contingent consideration is a financial instrument within the scope of HKFRS 9 or HKAS 39 or a non-financial asset or liability. Changes in fair value (other than measurement period adjustments) should be recognised in profit and loss. The amendments to HKFRS 3 are effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after 1 July 2014.

The amendments to HKFRS 8 (i) require an entity to disclose the judgements made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments, including a description of the operating segments aggregated and the economic indicators assessed in determining whether the operating segments have ‘similar economic characteristics’; and (ii) clarify that a reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets should only be provided if the segment assets are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker.

The amendments to the basis for conclusions of HKFRS 13 clarify that the issue of HKFRS 13 and consequential amendments to HKAS 39 and HKFRS 9 did not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at their invoice amounts without discounting, if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The amendments to HKAS 16 and HKAS 38 remove perceived inconsistencies in the accounting for accumulated depreciation/amortisation when an item of property, plant and equipment or an intangible asset is revalued. The amended standards clarify that the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset and that accumulated depreciation/amortisation is the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount after taking into account accumulated impairment losses.

The amendments to HKAS 24 clarify that a management entity providing key management personnel services to a reporting entity is a related party of the reporting entity. Consequently, the reporting entity should disclose as related party transactions the amounts incurred for the service paid or payable to the management entity for the provision of key management personnel services. However, disclosure of the components of such compensation is not required.

The directors of the Target Company do not anticipate that the application of the amendments included in the Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle will have a material effect on the Target Company’s financial statements.

Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle

The Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle include a number of amendments to various HKFRSs, which are summarised below.

The amendments to HKFRS 3 clarify that the standard does not apply to the accounting for the formation of all types of joint arrangement in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself.

  • 32 -

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

The amendments to HKFRS 13 clarify that the scope of the portfolio exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis includes all contracts that are within the scope of, and accounted for in accordance with, HKAS 39 or HKFRS 9, even if those contracts do not meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities within HKAS 32.

The amendments to HKAS 40 clarify that HKAS 40 and HKFRS 3 are not mutually exclusive and application of both standards may be required. Consequently, an entity acquiring investment property must determine whether:

  • (a) the property meets the definition of investment property in terms of HKAS 40; and

(b) the transaction meets the definition of a business combination under HKFRS 3.

The directors of the Target Company do not anticipate that the application of the amendments included in the Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle will have a material effect on the Target Company’s financial statements.

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments

HKFRS 9 issued in 2009 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 was amended in 2010 includes the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition and further amended in 2013 to include the new requirements for hedge accounting.

Key requirements of HKFRS 9 are described below:

  • All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent reporting periods. In addition, under HKFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognised in profit or loss.

  • With regard to the measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), HKFRS 9 requires that the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value of financial liabilities attributable to changes in the financial liabilities’ credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Under HKAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as FVTPL was presented in profit or loss.

  • HKFRS 9 introduces a new model which is more closely aligns hedge accounting with risk management activities undertaken by companies when hedging their financial and non-financial risk exposures. As a principle-based approach, HKFRS 9 looks at whether a risk component can be identified and measured and does not distinguish between financial items and non-financial items. The new model also enables an entity to use information produced internally for risk management purposes as a basis for hedge accounting. Under HKAS 39, it is necessary to exhibit eligibility and compliance with the requirements in HKAS 39 using metrics that are

  • 33 -

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

designed solely for accounting purposes. The new model also includes eligibility criteria but these are based on an economic assessment of the strength of the hedging relationship. This can be determined using risk management data. This should reduce the costs of implementation compared with those for HKAS 39 hedge accounting because it reduces the amount of analysis that is required to be undertaken only for accounting purposes.

The effective date of HKFRS 9 is not yet determined. However, earlier application is permitted.

The directors of the Target Company anticipate that the adoption of HKFRS 9 in the future may have significant impact on amounts reported in respect of the Target Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of that until a detailed review has been completed.

The directors of the Target Company anticipate that the application of other new and revised HKFRSs will have no material impact on the results and the financial position of the Target Company.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Listing Rules and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

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 in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Details of fair value measurement are explained in the accounting policies set out below.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

(a) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated in the statements of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of items of plant and equipment less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

(b) Inventories

Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the first-in, firstout method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

  • 34 -

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

(c) Cash and cash equivalents

Bank balances and cash in the statements of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances and cash as defined above.

(d) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses (see the accounting policy in respect of impairment losses on tangible and intangible assets below). Amortisation for intangible assets with finite useful lives is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Internally-generated intangible assets – research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development activities (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

  • the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

  • the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

  • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

  • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

  • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible asset is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

(e) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statements of financial position when the Target Company entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

  • 35 -

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

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 at FVTPL) 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 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 FVTPL and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

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 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 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 other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL, of which interest income is included in net gain or loss.

Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is designated as at FVTPL.

A financial asset may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

  • such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

  • the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Target Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

  • it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss includes any dividend or interest earned on the financial assets and is included in the other income.

  • 36 -

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT 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. Loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables, amount due from ultimate holding company and bank balances and cash) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment loss of financial assets below).

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting 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 all financial assets, 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 or principal payments; or

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter into bankruptcy or financial reorganisation; or

  • the disappearance of an active market for acquisition of plant and equipment for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade and other receivables, 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 and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

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.

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 and amount due from ultimate holding company, 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 a trade or other receivable and amount due from ultimate holding company is considered uncollectible, it is 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 losses was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

  • 37 -

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by a Target Company 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.

The Target Company’s financial liabilities are classified into other financial liabilities.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Target Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities including trade and other payables and amount due to ultimate holding company are subsequently measured at the 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

A financial asset is derecognised 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.

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.

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.

(f) 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 that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

  • 38 -

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting 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).

(g) Impairment losses on tangible and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Target Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible 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 loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Target Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating units (“CGUs”) to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual CGUs, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of CGUs for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal 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 (or a CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a CGU) 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 (or a CGU) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

(h) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for sales of self-developed computer software and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, returns and sales related taxes.

(i) Sales of self-developed computer software

Revenue from the sales of self-developed computer software is recognised when the computer software are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:

  • the Target Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

  • the Target company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

  • the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

  • it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Target company; and

  • 39 -

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

  • the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

(ii) Provision of computer technical consultancy services

Computer technical consultancy services are provided either in the form of fixed-period contracts or each services provided. Sales of these services are recognised in the period the services are provided, using a straight-line basis over the term of the contract for the fixed period contract.

(iii) Interest income from financial assets

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Target Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

(i) Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Target Company as lessee

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

(j) Government grant

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Target Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the relevant periods in which the Target Company recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Target Company with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

(k) Retirement benefit costs

Payments to a state-managed retirement benefit scheme in the PRC are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

(l) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from “profit before tax” as reported in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes 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 reporting period.

  • 40 -

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base 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 difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition 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 is realised, based on tax rate (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.

(m) Fair value measurement

When measuring fair value except for the Target Company’s value in use of CGUs and intangible asset for the purpose of impairment assessment, 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.

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

The Target Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Specifically, the Target Company categorised the fair value measurements into three levels, based on the characteristics of inputs, as follow:

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

  • Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

At the end of the reporting period, the Target Company determines whether transfer occur between levels of the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on recurring basis by reviewing their respective fair value measurement.

4. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Target Company’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the directors of Target Company are required to make judgements, 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.

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

Amortisation of intangible assets

Intangibles assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives according to the industrial experiences over the usage of intangible assets and also by reference to the relevant industrial norm. If the actual useful lives of intangible assets is less than original estimated useful lives due to changes in commercial and technological environment, such difference will impact the amortisation charge for the remaining period.

Estimated impairment of intangible assets

In considering the impairment losses of intangible assets, recoverable amount of the asset needs to be determined if there is indication that those assets may settle on impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and the value-in-use. It is difficult to precisely estimate selling price because quoted market prices for these assets may not be readily available. In determining the value-in-use, expected cash flow generated by the asset are discounted to their present value, which requires significant judgment relating to items such as level of sale volume, selling price, amount of operating costs and discount rates. The Target Company uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of items such as sale volume, selling price, amount of operating costs and discount rates. As at 31 December 2011, 2012 and 2013 and 28 February 2014, the carrying amount of intangible assets are approximately RMB327,000, RMB5,190,000, RMB8,394,000 and RMB8,627,000 respectively.

Estimated impairment of trade and other receivables

The Target Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based on payment history and the customer’s current credit-worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information. The Target Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision of estimated credit losses based upon its historical experience. Credit losses have historically been within the Target Company’s expectations and the Target Company will continue to monitor the collections from customers and maintain an appropriate level of estimated credit losses. As at 31 December 2011, 2012, 2013 and 28 February 2014, the carrying amounts of trade receivables and other receivable were approximately RMB16,841,000, RMB25,594,000, RMB34,531,000 and RMB37,835,000 respectively, net of accumulated impairment loss of nil, approximately RMB123,000, RMB656,000 and RMB1,620,000 respectively.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

Income taxes

The Target Company is subject to income taxes in the PRC. Significant estimation is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Provision for warranty claims

Provision for warranty is made based on the possible claims on the products by customers with reference to the warranty coverage period and the percentage of warranty expenses incurred over total sales amounts during the Relevant Periods. Where the actual claims are greater than expected, a material increase in warranty expenses may arise, which would be recognised in profit or loss for the period in which such a claim takes place. As at 31 December 2011, 2012, 2013 and 28 February 2014, the carrying amounts of provision for warranty claims were approximately RMB407,000, RMB1,297,000, RMB1,455,000 and RMB1,136,000 respectively.

Fair value measurements and valuation processes

Some of the Target Company’s assets are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. The board of directors of the Company has to determine the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs for fair value measurements.

In estimating the fair value of an asset, the Target Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the directors of the Target Company work closely to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model.

The Target Company uses valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market data to estimate the fair value of certain types of financial instruments. Note 6(c) provide detailed information about the valuation techniques, inputs and key assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of various assets.

5. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Target Company manages its capital to ensure that the Target Company will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Target Company’s overall strategy remains unchanged during the Relevant Periods.

The capital structure of the Target Company consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to owners of the Target Company, comprising paid-in-capital and reserves.

The directors of the Target Company review the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review, the directors of the Target Company consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the directors of the Target Company, the Target Company will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, issuance of new shares as well as the raising of new debts.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Target Company’s major financial instruments include trade and other receivables, amount due from ultimate holding company, bank balances and cash, trade and other payables and financial assets at FVTPL. Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include market risk (currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Market risk

(i) Currency risk

The Target Company’s business activities and its assets and liabilities were denominated in RMB. The management considers the Target Company is not exposed to significant foreign currency risk as majority of its operations and transactions are denominated in the functional currency of the Target Company. The Target Company currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Target Company’s bank balances have exposure to cash flow interest rate risk due to the fluctuation of the prevailing market interest rate on bank balances. The management considers the Target Company’s exposure of the bank balances to cash flow interest rate risk is not significant as the management does not anticipate significant fluctuation in interest rate on bank deposits. Hence, 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 statements of financial position.

  • 44 -

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX II

In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Target Company has imposed various monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Target Company reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Target Company consider that its credit risk is significantly reduced.

With respect to credit risk arising from amount due from ultimate holding company, the Target Company’s exposure to credit risk arising from default of the counterparty is limited as the counterparty have a good history of repayment. The Target Company does not expect to incur a significant loss for uncollectable consider that the Target Company’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

At 31 December 2011, the Target Company has concentration of credit risk as 20% and 79% of the total trade receivables were due from the Target Company’s largest customer and the five largest customers respectively.

At 31 December 2012, the Target Company has concentration of credit risk as 6% and 20% of the total trade receivables were due from the Target Company’s largest customer and the five largest customers respectively.

At 31 December 2013, the Target Company has concentration of credit risk as 9% and 16% of the total trade receivables were due from the Target Company’s largest customer and the five largest customers respectively.

At 28 February 2014, the Target Company has concentration of credit risk as 4% and 9% of the total trade receivables were due from the Target Company’s largest customer and the five largest customers respectively.

As at 31 December 2011, 2012, 2013 and 28 February 2014, the Target Company’s concentration of credit risk by geographical locations is only in the PRC. However, the credit risk on geographical location is limited as the counterparties are spread over among different cities and provinces in the PRC.

Liquidity risk

In 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.

All financial liabilities are non-interest bearing and their maturity dates are repayable on demand or within one year as at the end of each reporting period.

(c) Fair value

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using the relevant prevailing market rate.

No provision for Hong Kong Profits tax has been made as the Target Company’s income neither arises in, nor is derived from, Hong Kong.

The Target Company was recognised as a High Technology Enterprise (“HTE”) in 2012 and subject to PRC income tax at 15% for three years from 2012 to 2014 in accordance with the Law of the PRC on Enterprise Income Tax (the “EIT Law”).

In accordance with the tax legislations applicable to the enterprises which newly engaged in the development of software in the PRC, the Target Company is entitled to exemptions from the PRC EIT for the first two years commencing from the first profit-making year of operation and thereafter, entitled to a 50% relief from the PRC EIT for

the following three years. According to the EIT Law, the first year income tax exemption commenced for the period ended 31 December 2011 and enjoyed the second year income tax exemption for the year ended 31 December 2012. The effective tax rate for the year ended 31 December 2013 and two months ended 28 February 2014 is 12.5%.

No provision for the EIT has been made as the Target Company did not have any assessable profits for the two months ended 28 February 2013 and 2014.

As at 28 February 2014, the Target Company had tax losses of approximately RMB1,106,000 available for offset against future profits. No deferred tax asset has been recognised due to the amount is minimal. The unused tax loss will expire in 5 years from the year of origination.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

APPENDIX IV

The reporting accountants considered and concurred with basis and assumption adopted by the Target Company as stated in the valuation report by Chung Tong Cheng in accordance with applicable standards.

  1. The identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Company will be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of the Enlarged Group at fair value under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 3 (Revised) “Business Combinations”. For the purpose of determining goodwill arising from the acquisition transaction in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Company are recorded in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information at their fair values as if the Acquisition was completed on 28 February 2014.

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 28 February 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 28 February 2014 as if the Acquisition was completed on the same date 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 carried out by Chung Tong Cheng. The recoverable amount is arrived at using the present value of future operating free cash flow discounted into present value which disclosed in Appendix V, page 103 to 109 of the Circular. The actual amount of impairment of goodwill arising from Acquisition at the date of completion may be different from that presented above and the difference may be significant.

The calculation of goodwill arising from the Acquisition is calculated as follows:

The Target Company
Plant and equipment
Intangible assets
Deferred tax assets
Inventories

or loss

Upon completion, the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities of Target Company and contingent consideration will have to be reassessed. As a result the amount of goodwill may be different from that estimated as stated above for the purpose of the unaudited pro forma financial information.

  1. The adjustment represented the settlement of outstanding loan by 廈門銳泰隆投資發展有限公司 Xiamen Ruitailong Investment Development Company Limited* to the Target Company of RMB16,000,000 in accordance with the condition as stated in the Share Transfer Agreement.

  2. The adjustments on intangible assets and plant and equipment of approximately RMB15,186,000 and RMB49,000 represents the excess of fair values of intangible assets of the internally generated computer software and plant and equipment respectively over their carrying amounts as at 28 February 2014. The corresponding deferred tax liability of approximately RMB2,285,000 is charged at the People’s Republic of China enterprise income tax with concessionary tax rate of 15% due to the Target Company was recognised as a High Technology Enterprise. The directors of the Company noted that the basis on the cash consideration is not determined by income approach as disclosed in section “Consideration” headed “Letter from the Board” in this circular and the valuation of intangible assets is not covered by the appraisal report on the value of the entire shareholders’ equity of Target Company as stated in Appendix V. The intangible assets represent certain identifiable self-developed computer software. The Target Company is the copyright owner for all software. All computer software are protected by Copyright Law of The People’s Republic of China. The fair value of the intangible assets as at 28 February 2014 was determined with reference to the valuation carried out by Chung Tong Cheng which based on present value of expected cash flow forecast provided by the Target Company. Chung Tong Cheng considered in the valuation report that cost approach is not reliable as it is not appropriate to justify the fair value of intangible assets which mainly caused by the creativity and competency of labour cost. Market approach is also not considered appropriate by Chung Tong Cheng as it is not applicable to identify similar market transaction for trading of specific intangible assets in public market. As a result, income approach is adopted and considered as most appropriate by using the expected cash flow from the intangible assets during the useful life of each intangible asset and discounted by average of pre-tax weighted average cost of capital of certain market comparable companies. The fair value of plant and equipment is determined by cost replacement approach with reference to valuation carried out by Chung Tong Cheng as at 28 February 2014.

The directors of the Company have reviewed the carrying values of the intangible assets of the Enlarged Group taking into account the independent valuation report. Based on the valuation report, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that there are no indications that the values of the intangible assets of the Enlarged Group may be impaired as at 28 February 2014.

  1. The adjustment represented the estimated legal and professional fee of approximately RMB1,165,000 in relation to the Acquisition.

  2. Apart from the above, no adjustments have been made to the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group to reflect any trading results or other transactions of the Enlarged Group entered into subsequent to 28 February 2014. Unless otherwise stated, the above adjustments do not have a continuing impact on the Enlarged Group’s financial statements in subsequent years.

(I) Selection of appraisal methods

In accordance with the Standards for Asset Appraisal – Enterprise Value (Zhong Ping Xie [2011] No. 227), certified asset appraisers engaged in the appraisal of enterprise value shall select one or more basic asset appraisal approaches by analysing the applicability of the three basic approaches of asset appraisal, namely, income approach, market approach and asset-based approach, in light of relevant conditions such as the appraisal purpose, appraisal subject, appraisal type and information collection.

Pursuant to the Notice on Issues Related to the Strengthening of the Administration of Appraisal of State-Owned Assets (Guo Zi Wei Chan Quan [2006] No.274), an appraisal of assets in relation to enterprise value which is conducted on the basis of on-going operation, two or more methods shall be adopted in principle and presented in the appraisal report. Following comprehensive analysis based on the actual circumstances, the appraiser shall consider the conclusions being drawn by using different methods and adopt only one of them as the conclusion of the appraisal report.

After careful examination and in view of the appraisal purpose and the characteristics of the appraisal subject, and given that the subject assets of the appraised entity are in proportion to its operating income and such proportion is quantifiable, and that future income can be estimated, the appraisers have decided to employ the income approach for this appraisal.

  • 88 -

APPRAISAL REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX V

As the appraised entity is engaged in the IT services sector which is relatively active in the current capital market, there are a number of listed peers in the capital market. Therefore, information including comparable indicators and parameters of comparable companies can be collected and quantified, thus satisfying the conditions to adopt the market comparison approach.

As such, both the market approach and the income approach have been employed for this appraisal.

(II) Market approach

The market approach in the appraisal of enterprise value refers to the appraisal method which compares the appraisal subject with comparable listed companies or comparable transaction cases so as to determine the value of the appraisal subject. Two common methods used in the market approach are the listed company comparison method and the transaction case comparison method.

The listed company comparison method seeks to compare and analyse the appropriate value ratio or economic indicator calculated by analysing the operating and financial data of the companies listed in the capital market and operated in the same or similar industry as the appraised entity with that of the appraised entity so as to determine the value of the appraisal subject.

The transaction case comparison method refers to the method which analyses the purchase and sale, acquisition and merger cases of companies in the industry that is the same as or similar to that of the appraised entity and obtains and analyses the data of these transaction cases to calculate an appropriate value ratio or economic indicator so as to determine the value of the appraisal subject based on the comparison and analysis of the appraised entity.

As comparable transaction cases are difficult to collect and it is unclear whether there are factors not related to market value in such cases, it is inappropriate to adopt the transaction case comparison method. In view of the relatively transparent and objective nature of the operating and financial data of comparable listed companies, the listed company comparison method enjoys better operability. In addition, taking into account the appraisal subject, appraisal purpose and information collected by the appraisers for assets appraisal, the listed company comparison method has been adopted.

The listed company comparison method of market approach seeks to determine the fair market value of the appraised entity by comparing the fair market value of a listed company operating in the same industry as the appraised entity. Typically, a listed company which operates in the same industry as the appraised entity and whose shares are actively traded is firstly selected as the comparable company, then the market value of the comparable company will be calculated based on the share price of the company concerned. Meanwhile, one or more income, asset or special parameter(s) of the comparable company, such as EBIT and EBITDA, will be selected as the “analysis parameter(s)”. Lastly, calculation is made regarding the proportionate relation between the market value of the comparable company and the corresponding analysis parameter(s), which is known as the “value multiplies”. The above value multiplies will be applied to the analysis parameters of the appraised entity to determine the market value of the appraisal subject.

APPENDIX V

APPRAISAL REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

We may obtain the value multiples of income category and assets category by calculating the market value and analysis parameters of the comparable company. The market value of the appraised entity is derived from the following steps of calculation: firstly, make corrections to the relevant value multiples of each comparable company using the method of corrections to value multiple coefficients; secondly, estimate the value multiples of the appraised entity by using an appropriate method after comprehensive analysis; lastly, select one or more of these value multiples of the appraised entity and apply the same to the appraised entity, namely:

Market value of the appraised entity = Selected value multiples of the appraised entity × Corresponding indicators of the appraised entity

Final appraised value of equity = (Value multiples of full investment × Corresponding parameters of the appraised entity – Interest-bearing debts +/- adjustment to retained amount of working capital) × (1 – Discount for lack of liquidity) × (1 + Premium rate of control) + Net non-operating and surplus assets

OR:

Final appraised value of equity = (Value multiples of equity investment × Corresponding parameters of the appraised entity +/-

adjustment to retained amount of working capital) × (1 – Discount for lack of liquidity) × (1 + Premium rate of control) + Net non-operating and surplus assets

Basic steps for overall appraisal using the listed company comparison method are as follows:

  1. Collect information on listed companies and select comparable companies;

  2. Collect, analyse and make adjustments to the data contained in the financial reports of the comparable companies;

  3. Select and calculate the value multiples of the comparable companies;

  4. Make adjustments and corrections to the value multiples of the comparable companies;

  5. Derive a value multiple from the value multiples of the comparable companies and use the same as the value multiple of the appraised entity;

  6. Estimate relevant parameters of the appraised entity, calculate the corresponding appraisal results of each value multiple, and select the appraisal result which is deemed to be the most reasonable as the preliminary appraisal conclusion;

  7. Consider whether it is necessary to make discount/premium adjustments;

  8. Add back net non-operating assets and net surplus assets, and reach the final conclusions of the appraisal.

(III) Income approach

The income approach refers to the appraisal method used in determining the value of the appraised entity by capitalizing or discounting the expected income. The income approach normally includes the dividend discount method and the discounted cash flow method.

The discount model of the Free Cash Flow of Firm (FCFF) of the Discounted Cash Flow method has been adopted for the appraisal. Specifically, using the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) as the discount rate, the value of the entire shareholders’ equity is arrived at by subtracting the value of interest-bearing debts from the overall assets value of the entity (calculated by using the operating asset value (being the sum of the expected FCFF for each of the coming years) plus the value of the surplus assets and non-operating assets). The basic formula is as follows:

  • Value of the entire shareholders’ equity = Value of operating assets – Value of interest-bearing debts + Value of non-operating assets – Value of non-operating liabilities + Value of surplus assets

The calculation formula of the income approach is as follows:

Wherein:

  • P – the appraisal value of the entire shareholders’ equity in the appraised entity

  • P' – the discounted value of the entire revenue of firm

  • D – the interest-bearing debts of the appraised entity

  • A' – non-operating assets and surplus assets

  • D' – non-operating liabilities

  • Ri – the expected income generated during No. i income period in the future (FCFF)

  • i – the income period, i=0.83, 1.83, 2.83, ..., n

  • r – the discount rate

APPRAISAL REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

  1. Open market assumption. Under the open market assumption, it is assumed that the assets to be appraised can be transacted in the open market to realize its market value. The market value of assets is subject to the market mechanisms and depends on the market quotation rather than an individual transaction. Open market herein refers to a competitive market with adequately developed and well-established market conditions as well as willing buyers and sellers who are equal to have the opportunities and time to gain sufficient market information, whereby the transaction is conducted on a willing, rational (rather than forced or unrestricted) basis on either buyer or seller.

  2. In-use and continue-to-use assumption. Under the in-use and continue-to-use assumption, it is assumed that the appraised assets being used would continue to be used for its current purposes and in the same way after the change in titles and the occurrence of asset business.

(II) Specific Assumptions

  1. It is assumed that there will be no significant changes in the relevant prevailing laws, regulations and policies as well as macro-economic situation of the State, and there will be no significant changes in the political, economic or social environment in the regions in which the parties to the transaction are located.

  2. It is assumed that the appraised entity is a going concern.

  3. It is assumed that the operators of the company exercise due diligence and the management of the company are competent in discharging their duties.

  4. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the company is in full compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.

  5. It is assumed that the accounting policies to be adopted by the company in the future are basically identical to those adopted during the preparation of this report in material aspects.

  6. It is assumed that the same current orientation in the business scope and business model of the company will remain on the basis of its existing management approach and standards.

  7. It is assumed that there will be no material changes in the interest rates, exchange rates, taxation bases and tax rates, and government levies.

  8. It is assumed that no other force majeure and unpredictable factors will have a material adverse effect on the entity.

X. APPRAISAL CONCLUSION

(I) Appraisal Conclusion

1. Appraisal results based on the market approach

The appraisal conclusion has been arrived at based on the above-mentioned appraisal work. As at the appraisal base date (being 28 February 2014), the entire shareholders’ equity of Xiamen Ritoinfo Technology Company Limited was valued at RMB307,768,600.

2. Appraisal results based on the income approach

The appraisal conclusion has been arrived at based on the above-mentioned appraisal work. As at the appraisal base date (being 28 February 2014), the entire shareholders’ equity of Xiamen Ritoinfo Technology Company Limited was valued at RMB310,846,700.

(II) Differences Between the Two Types of Appraisal Results and Reasons Thereof

The difference in entire shareholders’ equity between the two types of appraisal results is shown in the table below:

Unit: RMB ten thousand

Carrying Appraised
value of value of
entire entire
shareholders’ shareholders’ Amount of Rate of
Appraisal Method equity equity appreciation appreciation

24,273.21
24,581.02
373.22%
377.96%
Difference -307.81

The difference in appraisal conclusion between the two types of appraisal results is principally attributable to the fact that: the market approach can better reflect the market fair value of the subject of appraisal as at the appraisal base date as it is based on the realistic value of market reference items of the appraised entity, the data and information required for the relevant appraisal are directly from the market, and the relevant information on which it is based is the latest published historical information of listed companies; while the income approach is based on the expected return of assets and reflects the output capacity of the assets (i.e. profitability), which is usually affected by various factors including macro economy, government control and effective use of assets.

(III) Final Appraisal Conclusion

Although the operating results of the appraised entity are currently acceptable, there are significant uncertainties in its future expected revenue due to the currently unprecedented fierce competition in the software industry and the great impact of the government’s macroeconomic

  • 94 -

APPENDIX V

APPRAISAL REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

policies on the software research direction of the appraised entity. The market approach can better reflect the market fair value of the subject of appraisal as at the appraisal base date as it is based on the realistic value of market reference items of the appraised entity, the data and information required for the relevant appraisal are directly from the market, and the relevant information on which it is based is the latest published historical information of listed companies. In the context of the uncertainties in the current macroeconomic policies, the appraisal results based on the income approach are not as convincing as those based on the market approach. Therefore, after weighing the appraisal results based on both approaches, we believe that the market approach better reflects the market value of Xiamen Ritoinfo Technology Company Limited. As such, we have used the appraisal results based on the market approach as our final appraisal conclusion. Hence, our final appraisal conclusion is as follows:

As at the appraisal base date, being 28 February 2014, the entire shareholders’ equity of Xiamen Ritoinfo Technology Company Limited was valued at RMB307,768,600.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE APPRAISAL METHODS

(I) MARKET APPROACH

1. Preconditions for application of the market approach

  • (1) There is an adequately developed and active capital market;

  • (2) There are a sufficient number of comparable companies which are identical or similar to the appraised entity, or a sufficient number of transaction cases in the capital market;

  • (3) The market information, financial information and other relevant information on comparable companies can be collected and obtained;

  • (4) It is convinced that the information based on which the appraisal is made are representative and reasonable, and are valid as at the appraisal date.

2. Reasons for selecting the specific appraisal method

As comparable transaction cases are difficult to collect and it is unclear whether there are factors not related to market value in such cases, the transaction case comparison method is hardly applicable. In view of the relatively transparent and objective nature of the operating and financial data of comparable listed companies, the listed company comparison method enjoys better operability. In addition, taking into account the appraisal subject, appraisal purpose and information collected by the appraisers for this assets appraisal, the listed company comparison method has been adopted.

3. Description of basic steps

The listed company comparison method of market approach is to determine the fair market value of the appraised entity by comparing the fair market value of a listed company in the same industry with the appraised entity. Typically, a listed company which operates in the same industry of the appraised entity and enjoys active trading is first selected as the comparable company, then the market value of the comparable company will be calculated based on the share price of the company concerned. Meanwhile, one or more income, asset or special parameters of the comparable company, such as EBIT, EBITDA, would be selected as the “analysis parameters”. Lastly, calculation is made regarding to the proportionate relation between the market value of the comparable company and corresponding analysis parameters, which is known as the “rate multiplies”. The above rate multiplies will be applied to the analysis parameters of the appraised entity to determine the market value of the appraised entity.

We may obtain the rate multiples of income category and assets category by calculating the market value and analysis parameters of the comparable company. The market value of the appraised entity is derived from the following steps of calculation: firstly, make corrections to relevant rate multiples of each comparable company using the method of corrections to rate multiple coefficients;

  • 96 -

APPENDIX V

APPRAISAL REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

secondly, estimate the rate multiples of the appraised entity in a manner deemed most appropriate after comprehensive analysis; lastly, select one or more of these rate multiples of the appraised entity and apply the same to the appraised entity. Namely:

Market value of the appraised entity

  • = Selected rate multiple(s) of the appraised entity × Corresponding indicators of the appraised entity

Final appraised value of equity

  • = (Value ratio of full investment × Corresponding parameters of the appraised entity – Interest-bearing debts +/- adjustment to retained amount of working capital) × (1 – Discount for lack of liquidity) × (1 + Premium rate of control) + Net non-operating surplus assets

OR:

  • Final appraised value of equity = (Value ratio of equity investment × Corresponding parameters of the appraised entity +/- adjustment to retained amount of working capital) × (1 – Discount for lack of liquidity) × (1 + Premium rate of control) + Net non-operating and surplus assets

Basic steps for overall appraisal using the listed company comparison method are as follows:

  • (1) Collect information on listed companies and select comparable companies;

  • (2) Collect, analyze and make adjustments to the data contained in the financial reports of the comparable companies;

  • (3) Select and calculate the value multiples of the comparable companies;

  • (4) Make adjustments and corrections to the value multiples of the comparable companies;

  • (5) Derive a value multiple from the value multiples of the comparable companies as the value multiple of the appraised entity;

  • (6) Estimate relevant parameters of the appraised entity, calculate the corresponding appraisal results of each value multiple, and select the appraisal result which deemed most reasonable as the preliminary appraisal conclusion;

  • (7) Consider whether it is necessary to make discount/premium adjustments;

  • (8) Add back net non-operational assets and net surplus assets, and reach the final conclusions of the appraisal.

APPRAISAL REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

During the appraisal process, we have searched 109 listed companies which are engaged in software and information technology services in PRC, and selected 3 of them, i.e. Neusoft Group (600718), Yonyou Software (600588) and eGOVA (300075). We then calculated and modified the corresponding value multiples as follows:

Value Value Value
Value multiples Value multiples multiples
multiples of multiples of equity of equity

300075 eGOVA 10.12 11.21 13.23 11.71 12.99

The three comparable listed companies selected by us are highly similar to the appraised entity. The appraisers calculated simple arithmetic averages of the value multiples of the comparable companies, and taken the average of Value multiples of the comparable companies as the value multiples of the appraised entity.

4. Adjustments to liquidity

Free liquidity of equity pose a significant impact on its value. As the appraised entity is a nonlisted company, its equity is non-tradable on stock markets. Therefore, the impact of the discount for lack of liquidity should be taken into account.

When calculating the lack of liquidity discount for this appraisal, we adopted the estimation of offering price of new shares, a method designated to derive the discount for lack of liquidity from the difference between the offering price of the initial public offering of a domestically listed company and the trading price of the shares upon listing. When launching an initial public offering, domestically listed companies determine the offering price of their new shares using the inquiry method. New shares are generally listed and tradable following the date of issue. Typically, the offering price of new shares is lower than the trading price after listing. The offering price of new shares may not be considered the trading price in a stock market, as the shares are non-tradable when the offering is made. As such, being not developed under the “market trading mechanism”, the offering price is substantially not a trading price in the market, but a fair trading price. Upon listing of new shares, the effective market trading mechanism is developed. Therefore, the difference in value between the two circumstances may be deemed to arise due to the fact that no effective market trading mechanism has been formed.

The following conclusions are drawn by collecting and studying the offering prices of new shares in more than 1,200 IPOs from 2002 to 2011, and studying the relationship among the average prices of the 1st trading day, the 30th trading day, the 60th trading day and the 90th trading day upon listing:

5. Adjustments to control

Tradable shares of listed companies are generally representative of the minority interests, and thus have no control over those listed companies. Where the appraised equity has the control, corresponding premium adjustments shall be made to the control.

As the object of this appraisal is the shareholders’ entire equity of Xiamen Ritoinfo Technology Company Limited, the impact of premium over the control has been taken into account for this appraisal.

Among the more than 5,000 cases of acquisition of equity interests by non-listed companies by the end of 2012, which were collected using CVSource, a type of financial data product released by the PRC-based China Venture, over 3,100 cases which involve the trading of less than 49% equity interests can be identified as minority equity trading cases, and 1,900 cases which involve the trading of more than 50% equity interests can be basically identified as controlling equity trading cases. It is believed that the difference in price-earnings multiples between these two types of equity trading cases can reasonably reflect the premiums over control or the discounts to control. Details are set out in the following table:

  • (3) We assume that the operators of the appraised entity are responsible and the management of the appraised entity is capable of performing their respective roles, and that the appraised entity is able to maintain normal business operations and basically meet its development plans and production and operation plans on schedule.

  • (4) We assume that the appraised entity fully complies with all applicable laws and regulations of the State, and there would be no significant violation thereof affecting the development and realization of income of the appraised entity.

  • (5) We assume that the accounting policies to be adopted by the appraised entity in the future are basically identical to those adopted in the preparation of this report in all material aspects.

  • (6) We assume that the appraised entity remains the same in its business scope, business model and current business orientation on the basis of its existing management approach and standards.

  • (7) We assume that there would be no material changes in the interest rate, exchange rate, tax base and tax rate and policy imposed levies currently effective or confirmed to be effective according to the State’s regulations.

  • (8) There would be no other force majeure or unforeseeable circumstances affecting the appraised entity materially and adversely.

According to the requirements of assets appraisal, these assumptions are deemed to be valid on the appraisal base date. We will not accept any responsibility for any different appraisal conclusion resulted from any change in these assumptions where economic environment has been significantly changed.

4. Appraisal process using the income approach

(1) Determination of the profitable years

The profitable years are assumed to be infinite based on the specific operational conditions and characteristics of the appraised entity in the course of the valuation. The forecast period is divided into two timeframes: the first timeframe is from 1 March 2014 to 31 December 2018, and the second one is from 1 January 2019 up to perpetuity. The level of the expected income after 2019 is assumed to be as stable as that of 2018.

(2) Forecast of the future income

Based on the business characteristics and operational model of the appraisal object, the appraisers determine the future net profit of the appraised entity by forecasting the variables, such as the future income, cost, expenses incurred in the period and income tax provided by the appraised entity, and finally determine the FCFF through forecasting the corresponding

APPENDIX V

capital expenditure and the movements of working capital according to the future development plan, asset purchase plan and fund management plan of the appraised entity. For details of the forecast, please refer to the attached “Table of Calculations Using the Income Approach”.

(3) Determination of the discount rate

The appraisers adopt the commonly used Weighted Average Capital Cost (WACC) appraisal model for selection of the discount rate.

Determination of the expected rate of return on long-term treasury bonds (Rf)

The risk-free rate of return is determined by reference to the average of yields (the compound interest) of treasury bonds valid for a term of more than 10 years which are effective as at the appraisal base date. The risk-free rate of return is calculated at 4.4347%.

Determination of the rate of return for excessive risks in the equity market (Rm-Rf)

The Equity Risk Premiums (ERP) reflect the risk compensation demanded by investors for investing in the capital market with relatively high risks, which is higher than the risk-free rate of return.

The volatility of a country’s stock market against its bond market is calculated based on the annual standard deviations of the stock index and those of the bonds of that country, i.e. δ stock/δ bonds. Aswath Damodaran (2008) believes that the global average volatility of the stock market against bonds is 1.5.

Final market risk premiums = U.S. stock market yields + China’s national compensation for the risk of default × δ stock/δ bonds = 5.88%+0.7×1.5=6.93%

Determination of the relative risk β coefficient of comparable companies in the stock market

  • 105 -

APPRAISAL REPORT ON THE TARGET COMPANY

APPENDIX V

We first collected information on a number of listed companies which operate in the same or similar industry. After screening, we selected 3 listed companies, which operate similar business to the appraised entity, as the comparable companies; and retrieved their unleveraged β coefficients (source: Genius Finance) for 104 weeks to calculate the average value as the unleveraged β coefficients of the appraised entity. The unleveraged β coefficients of the comparable companies are shown as follows:

Industry classified Beta
Stock code Abbreviation by CSRC (unleveraged)
600588 Yonyou Software Software and IT services 0.6303
600718 Neusoft Group Information services 0.6842
300075 eGOVA Information services 0.7669
Average 0.6938

We determined the β coefficient applicable to the appraised entity by making adjustments to the financial structure of the appraised entity for the forecast years. The formula is as follows:

Leveraged β = Unleveraged β × [1+ (1-T) (Liabilities%/Equity%)]

Based on the above, the leveraged β of the appraised entity is 0.6938.

Determination of scale risk rate of return

In view of the differences in the structure and size of assets between the appraised company and listed companies, there are certain risks associated with additional experience. Coupled with the equity of the appraised company is of a nonliquidity, the individual adjustment factor Rs is determined at 3%, taking into account the above difference of individuality.

Determination of cost of equity capital

R = Rf + β × (Rm-Rf) + RS = 4.4347%+0.6938×6.93%+3% = 12.24%

Determination of cost of debt capital

As the appraised unity has neither long-term nor short-term borrowings, the cost of debt capital is nil.

(4) Adjustments to liquidity

Free liquidity of equity has a significant impact on its value. As the appraised entity is a non-listed company, its equity can not be traded on stock markets. Therefore, the impact of the discount for lack of liquidity should be taken into account. The discount for lack of liquidity for this appraisal is determined at 29.27%.

(5) Adjustment to the control

Tradable shares of listed companies are generally representative of the minority interests, and thus have no control over those listed companies. Where the appraised equity has the control, the corresponding premium adjustments shall be made to the control.

As the object of this appraisal is the shareholders’ entire equity of Xiamen Ritoinfo Technology Company Limited, the impact of premium over the control has been taken into account for this appraisal. The average of premium over the control is 17.31%. Therefore, the premium rate of control for this appraisal is determined at 17.31%.
