2010 to Eight months

Net profit/(loss) before tax (0.6) (5.8) (94.4) 30.3

Government subsidy is the main source of turnover of the Target Company. The Administrative Measures was approved by the State Council of the PRC in May 2012 and the Target Company became eligible to the government subsidies since the second half of 2012. Therefore, the turnover of the Target Company increased from nil for the year ended 31 December 2011 to approximately RMB25.8 million (equivalent to approximately HK$32.5 million) for the year ended 31 December 2012. The turnover of the Target Company increased further to approximately RMB109.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$138.2 million) for the eight months ended 31 August 2013, mainly attributable to the increase in the number of waste electric and electronic products treated by the Target Company during the period.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group is principally engaged in provision of waste treatment technologies and services which specialises in technology development, design, system integration, project investment, consultancy, operation and maintenance of waste treatment facilities, especially waste-to-energy projects.

As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012, the PRC government has implemented proactive measures to promote the waste treatment industry. In 2012, the PRC government ranked energy conservation and environmental protection first among the seven ‘‘Strategic Emerging Industries’’ under its ‘‘Twelfth Five-Year Plan’’. The National Development and Reform Commission has also refined the waste-to-energy tariff policy and provided concrete support to the environmental protection industry through special subsidies. In expectation of the great market potential underscored by favourable national policies, the Group will endeavour to seize opportunities in the environmental protection and alternative energy industries to deliver stronger results for the Shareholders. As such, the Directors believe that it is beneficial for the Group to acquire the Target Company which allows the Group to expand its business in the waste treatment industry in the PRC and is in line with the Group’s business strategy. The Directors also expected that the Acquisition will strengthen the Group’s business profile and allow the Group to capture the business opportunity under the PRC government’s proactive measures in the waste treatment industry.

Having considered the followings, including but not limited to, (i) the positive prospects of the waste treatment industry in the PRC; (ii) the proactive measures and subsidies provided by the PRC government to the waste treatment industry; and (iii) the operational and financial performance of the Target Company, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider the terms of the Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. None of the Directors has a material interest in the Acquisition and thus no one has abstained from voting on the resolution in respect of the Agreement to be proposed at the EGM.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION ON THE ENLARGED GROUP

Upon Completion, the Target Company will become an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the financial results of the Target Company will be consolidated into the Group’s accounts.

Effect on assets and liabilities

The unaudited consolidated total assets of the Group were approximately HK$1,874.3 million while the total liabilities of the Group were approximately HK$1,867.6 million as at 30 June 2013. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as contained in Appendix III to this circular, the Enlarged Group’s total assets and total liabilities would be increased to approximately HK$2,181.9 million and approximately HK$2,082.7 million, respectively assuming Completion has taken place on 30 June 2013.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Group recorded loss for the year from continuing operations of approximately HK$152.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2012. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as contained in Appendix III to this circular, the Enlarged Group would have recorded loss for the year from continuing operations of approximately HK$290.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2012 assuming Completion has taken place on 1 January 2012.

B. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF THE GROUP

Set out below are the management discussion and analysis of the Company mainly extracted from the respective annual report for each of the three years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2013. Terms used in this section below shall have the same meanings as those defined in the aforesaid reports.

For the year ended 31 December 2010

Business outlook and prospects of the Group

Having considered the wave of national environmental awareness supportive policies together with the various possible traditional energy-related crises, the waste treatment business is an area worthy of exploration. In 2009, the Group entered into this business by acquisition of Smartview Investment Holdings Limited.

Under the 11th Five-Year Plan of the PRC, it is expected that the amount of electricity being generated from the waste-to-energy technology will increase to 3.3 Gigawatts by 2020. The Renewable Energy Law of China, which states that it is a national and public obligation to transform waste to energy, was also passed in 2005. There is considerable unexploited potential for the waste-to-energy business in the PRC.

In April 2010, the Group completed the acquisition of 46% equity interest in Shenzhen Yueneng Waste-to-energy Ltd.* (‘‘SZ Yueneng’’), a company established in the PRC, for a cash consideration of approximately RMB65,000,000 (equivalent to HK$75,021,000). SZ Yueneng operates a waste treatment and waste-to-energy plant in Shenzhen, the PRC on a BOT basis, which is designed with an annual waste treatment capacity of approximately 222,750 tonnes.

Limited (‘‘MTT’’), which engaged in sourcing and distribution of apparel and footwear, previously a jointly controlled entity of the Group which became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group for a cash consideration of approximately HK$390,000. In November 2010, the Group disposed of its entire 100% shareholding of MTT along with the disposal of Full Charm Holdings Limited (‘‘Full Charm’’) due to the restructuring of the Group’s business.

The facilities were designed with the annual capacity to process waste of approximately 1,189,650 tonnes which can generate on-grid electricity of approximately 224 million kWh annually.

The progress of the construction of the Beijing Dongcun Sorting Comprehensive Treatment Plant (‘‘Beijing Plant’’) is currently underway and is progressing in line with plan generally. The Group is continuously monitoring the ongoing progress closely such that the trial run operation can be successfully launched within the Group’s anticipated timing.

The Nanchang Solid Waste Incineration Power Generation Plant located in Nanchang Quanling will continue to be under construction in 2010.

Business outlook and prospects of the Group

Over the last year, the management strove hard to a clearer future development strategy for the Group. The Group was determined to increase its market share in the solid waste-to-energy treatment sector and become the leading player driving the industry forward. Driven by the 12th Five Year Plan, the value of output of the solid waste industry in the PRC will amount to approximately RMB336 billion. Refuse incineration plants will cover all directly-controlled municipalities, provincial capital cities and cities listed independently on the state plan. Over 80% of the domestic garbage for all cities in the PRC will be subject to harmless treatment. Leveraging on the close relationship established by Beijing Capital Co., Ltd. (‘‘Beijing Capital’’) with the local governments in respect of water service business as well as its networking resources, the Group will be able to benefit from the business opportunities arising from the state policies.

Globally, imminent crises like pollution, climate change and energy shortage as well as the nuclear power accident in Japan prompted the government of different countries to review their energy policies. Currently, land filling and incineration facilities in the PRC can no longer accommodate the ever-increasing garbage output, leading to an urging market demand on effective waste treatment. We have the bounded duty to provide local governments with one-stop garbage management solutions that perfectly meet the domestic needs. We aim to serve people of the nation by bringing about a better living environment.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

In respect of the Group’s waste treatment and waste-to-energy business, the Group is conservatively optimistic about the future development of the green energy industry. According to the ‘‘National Plan for Establishing Facilities for Treatment Of Urban Household Waste in a Non-Hazardous Way under the 12th Five-Year Plan’’ of the PRC issued in May 2012, the daily waste processing capacity of waste-to-energy shall be substantially increased from 89,625 tonnes at the end of 2010 to approximately 307,155 tonnes by the end of 2015 at an annual compound growth rate of 28%.

In 2012, the PRC government ranked energy conservation and environmental protection first among the seven ‘‘Strategic Emerging Industries’’ under its ‘‘Twelfth Five-Year Plan’’. The National Development and Reform Commission has also refined the waste-to-energy tariff policy and provided concrete support to the environmental protection industry through special subsidies. In expectation of the great market potential underscored by favourable national policies, the Group will endeavour to seize opportunities in the environmental protection and alternative energy industries to deliver stronger results for its shareholders.

During the year under review, the Group achieved growth in scale and effectiveness together. The Group succeeded in securing a waste-to-energy project in Xingtai, Hebei Province, China, that are designed with an annual waste treatment capacity of approximately 340,000 tonnes. The facility commanded a total investment of approximately RMB330 million. Besides, in November 2012, the Group acquired two landfill projects in Guizhou, that are designed with an annual waste treatment capacity of approximately 335,000 tonnes through the acquisition of 90% equity interest in Duyan Kelin Environment Company Limited and 80% equity interest in Weng’an Kelin Environment Company Limited. These have not only expanded the Group’s market presence across the country, but also laid a solid foundation for its next round of development. It is expected that the new projects will contribute more revenue to the Group following kicking-off of construction and commencement of commercial operation of projects.

As at 31 December 2012, the Group had eight waste treatment projects that commanded a total investment of approximately RMB2,268 million. The facilities were designed with the annual capacity to process waste of approximately 2,008,050 tonnes which can generate on-grid electricity of approximately 377 million kWh annually.

The Group’s future prospects would depend primarily on the commencement of commercial operation of the Beijing Dongcun Sorting Comprehensive Treatment Plant, which is the first waste-to-energy project in the PRC applying the technology of anaerobic digestion. The Group is still under negotiation with the local government to extend the service concession period and increase the waste treatment fee of such plant. In 2012, the local government preliminarily agreed to revisit the service concession period and the waste treatment price. The outcome of the negotiation with the local government for the revised terms is expected to be finalised in the first half of 2013. The progress of the construction of the Beijing Plant is currently underway and is progressing in line with plan generally. The coming few months will be critical as far as completion of the construction of the Beijing Plant is concerned and the Group is

–I-9 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

continuously monitoring the ongoing progress closely such that the trial run operation can be successfully launched within the Group’s anticipated timing in the first half of 2013.

The waste-to-energy project in Xingtai is still pending for the final approval from the relevant PRC government authority. The transformation of Phase 1 construction is expected to complete and entered into the trial run stage in 2013. The construction of Phase 2 will be started in 2013 and expected to enter into the trail run stage in 2015.

The Nanchang Solid Waste Incineration Power Generation Plant located in Nanchang Quanling will continue to be under construction in 2013 and expected to enter into the trial run stage in 2014.

The projects located in Shenzhen Pinghu and Guizhou Duyun and Weng’an are all in normal commercial operation.

During the year under review, the Group has successfully disposed of its apparel and accessories trading business, its only non-core business. This records a net gain on disposal of approximately HK$4.6 million and also completely transforms the Group towards comprehensive waste treatment enterprise.

In order to ensure sustainable development of the Group in the face of volatility in the international capital markets, the Group entered into a loan agreement with Beijing Capital for a RMB101.0 million loan, from which RMB97.0 million has been drawn down. In addition, the Company raised about HK$129.6 million (net of expenses) in August and October 2012 through the placement of 310 million shares of the Company and about HK$100.0 million through issuance of convertible bonds to Beijing Capital (Hong Kong) Limited (‘‘Beijing Capital HK’’), which provided adequate working capital and broadened our shareholder base and equity base. As at 31 December 2012, the Group had cash on hand of HK$263.2 million.

The Group’s available financial resources have been stretched given the requirements of the ongoing projects and the debt maturity profile of the Group. The Company has been exploring various initiatives to seek new funding as demonstrated by the recent fund raising activities of the Company. Efforts to explore new financing including the Rights Issue as well as the proposed debt restructuring are ongoing with a view to improve the Group’s financial position and to avail the Group with financial resources for potential investments in due course.

Looking ahead, with stronger supporting policies from the PRC government and the continued comprehensive support from the substantial shareholder, Beijing Capital HK, the Company is confident that the Company can realise the full potential of all the exciting opportunities for future development. With rising growth momentum and strong competitive edge in the waste treatment industry, the management of the Group believes that once most of the existing projects commence operation, they will provide contribution to the Group. Thus, the management of the Group is confident of achieving sustained growth in the medium-to-long term.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Currently, the Group has eight projects which are engaged in municipal waste treatment, while the Target Company is engaged in recycling and dismantling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. The Directors are of the view that the Acquisition will expand the Group’s scope of business, improve its operating results, and accelerate its development in the electronic waste and scarped car disposal and other new areas of solid waste treatment, thereby further cementing the Group’s leading position in the solid waste treatment sector. In the future, the Target Company will further expand its scale, optimise dismantling equipment and technologies, and extend the deep-processing industry chain of dismantled parts to increase value addition, striving to become a benchmark in the field of electronic waste and scrapped car disposal.

Looking forward, the Directors believes that the Target Company is in a supported industry of national policies, with huge market potentials and development prospects, and it has certain degree of regional monopoly, which can entail high return on investment. Therefore, the Acquisition is expected to increase income sources of the Group and will have positive impact on the future operating results of the Group.

In view of the benefits of the proposed Acquisition, the Directors believe that the proposed Acquisition is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

On 9 August 2013, Capital Solid Green Energy Investment Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), Richway Investment Management Limited and Huizhou Energy(s) Pte. Ltd. entered into an acquisition agreement.

Based on the information provided by 惠州廣惠能源有限公 司 (Huizhou Guanghui Energy Company Limited), as at 31 March 2013, such liabilities amounted to approximately RMB197 million (equivalent to approximately HK$248.2 million). 惠州廣惠能源有限公司 (Huizhou Guanghui Energy Company Limited) was established in the PRC with registered capital of RMB245.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$309.5 million) and is principally engaged in waste treatment and wasteto-energy generation project through operating a waste treatment plant, which is located in Gonglian Village, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, the PRC.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

For the purpose of this report, the directors of Subei Dismantling have prepared the financial statements of Subei Dismantling in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (the ‘‘HKFRS’’) issued by Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the ‘‘HKICPA’’) for the Relevant Periods (‘‘the Underlying Financial Statements’’). We have carried out an independent audit on the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with the Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA. The accompanying Financial Information has been prepared based on the Underlying Financial Statements and in accordance with HKFRS.

For the purpose of this report, we have examined the Financial Information, and carried out such additional procedures as we considered necessary in accordance with Auditing Guideline 3.340 ‘‘Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant’’ issued by the HKICPA. No adjustments were considered necessary by us to the Underlying Financial Statements in preparing our report for inclusion in the Circular.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY

The directors of Subei Dismantling are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRS, and for such internal control as the directors of Subei Dismantling determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The directors of the Company are responsible for the contents of the Circular in which this report is included.

REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ RESPONSIBILITY

It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion on the Financial Information and to report our opinion to you.

OPINION

In our opinion, for the purpose of this report, the Financial Information gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of Subei Dismantling as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, and 31 August 2013, and of Subei Dismantling’s results and cash flows for the Relevant Periods.

COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The directors of Subei Dismantling are responsible for the preparation of the unaudited comparative financial information including the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the eight months ended 31 August 2012 and other explanatory notes (the ‘‘Comparative Financial Information’’) in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information and the HKFRS.

We have reviewed the Comparative Financial Information in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 ‘‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’’ issued by the HKICPA. A review

–II-2 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

consists of making inquires, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on Comparative Financial Information.

On the basis of our review which does not constitute an audit, for the purpose of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe the Comparative Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information and the HKFRS.

Jiangsu Subei Waste Vehicles and Household Appliances Dismantling Recycling Ltd. (‘‘Subei Dismantling’’) was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the ‘‘PRC’’) with limited liability. The registered office is located in South of Songchao Road, West of Fanxiuqu Road, East of Xian Road, North of Tonghai Ave., Inside Industrial Park, Huaian City, Jiangsu Province, China.

The principal activities of the Subei Dismantling are disassembling, disposal and comprehensive recycle of waste and second-hand auto, household appliances, office supplies and electric & electronic products, as well as sale of scrap metal and waste.

The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (‘‘RMB’’), unless otherwise stated, which is also the functional currency of Subei Dismantling.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRS’’), which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKAS’’), and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’). The Financial Information also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the SEHK (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’) and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. These policies have been consistently applied throughout the Relevant Period. The Financial Information have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

For the purpose of preparing the Financial Information, Subei Dismantling has applied for the first time the new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations (the ‘‘new HKFRS’’) issued by the HKICPA, which are relevant to and effective for Subei Dismantling’s financial statements for all the years/periods presented.

The adoption of the new HKFRS had no material impact on how the results and financial position for the current and prior periods have been prepared and presented.

It should be noted that accounting estimates and assumptions are used in preparation of the Financial Information. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge and judgement of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. The areas involving a high degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Financial Information, are disclosed in note 5.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment including leasehold land and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purpose are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

–II-10 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their residual value, over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method, at the following rates per annum:

Leasehold buildings 50 years
Plants and machinery 3 to 10 years
Office equipment 5 years
Motor vehicles 4 years

Construction in progress is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes all construction expenditure and other direct costs, including interest costs, attributable to such projects. Cost on completed construction works are transferred to the appropriate asset category. No depreciation is charged on respect of construction in progress until it is completed and available for use.

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.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

(b) Lease

Leases are classified as finance lease 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.

Subei Dismantling as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Subei Dismantling as lessee

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Prepaid land lease payments

Prepaid land lease payments represent land use rights under operating lease arrangement and are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

(c) Financial assets

Subei Dismantling’s financial assets are classified into 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.

–II-11 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables, amount due from a shareholder, amounts due from related companies and cash and cash equivalents) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets 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.

Objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • breach of contracts, such as default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

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

  • disappearance for an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of other receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When other receivables are considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

Subei Dismantling derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.

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 directly in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.

(d) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost, which comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour and overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, is calculated using the weighted average method. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

–II-12 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

(e) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

In the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

(g) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities including trade and other payables, amount due to a related company and bank borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Bank borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless Subei Dismantling has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

(h) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when Subei Dismantling has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.

All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future uncertain events not wholly within the control of Subei Dismantling are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

(i) Paid-in capital

Paid in capital is classified as equity. It is determined using the proceeds from capital contributions made by the investors.

Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium (net of any related income tax benefit) to the extent they are incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction.

(j) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.

–II-13 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Revenue from sales of goods is recognised when goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:

  • the Subei Dismantling has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

  • the Subei Dismantling 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 Subei Dismantling; and

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

Revenue from the Government relating to dismantling services on the waste and second-hand auto, household appliances, office supplies and electric & electronic products are recognised when the services rendered.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Subei Dismantling and the amount of revenue 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.

(k) Government subsidies

Government subsidies are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the subsidies will be received and Subei Dismantling will comply with all attached conditions. Government subsidies are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that the subsidies are intended to compensate. Government grants relating to the purchase of assets are included in liabilities as deferred government grants in the statement of financial position and are recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the expected lives of the related assets. Other non assets related government subsidies are presented under ‘‘Other income’’ in the statement of comprehensive income.

Government subsidies relating to dismantling services are presented under ‘‘Revenue’’ in the statement of comprehensive income.

(l) Impairment losses on tangible assets

At the end of the reporting period, Subei Dismantling reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets 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, Subei Dismantling estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

–II-14 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease under that standard.

(m) Retirement benefit costs

Payments to the defined contributions retirement benefit plans are recognised as expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

(n) Accounting for income tax

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 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. Subei Dismantling’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit 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 Subei Dismantling expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when they relates 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.

4. ADOPTION OF ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE HKFRSS

At the date of issue of this Financial Information, certain new and amended HKFRSs have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by Subei Dismantling.

HKAS 32 (Amendments) Financial Instruments: Presentation — Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities[1] HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments[2]

1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014

2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015

HKFRS 9 — Financial Instruments

Under HKFRS 9, all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of the HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are subsequently measured at either 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 accounting periods.

–II-16 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

In relation to financial liabilities, the significant change relates to financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Specifically under HKFRS 9, for all financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss, 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 presentation 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 attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.

Subei Dismantling has not early applied the other new and revised standards, amendments or interpretations relevant to Subei Dismantling’s operations that have been issued but are not yet effective.

The directors of Subei Dismantling anticipate that the application of other new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations in issue but not yet effective will have no material impact on the results and the financial position of Subei Dismantling.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Subei Dismantling makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(i) Provision for impairment of trade receivables

The provisioning policy for trade receivables of Subei Dismantling is based on the evaluation of the collectability of those receivables and on management’s judgement. A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each customer and the realisation of any repayment pattern promised. If the financial conditions of these customers were to deteriorate, additional provision may be required.

(ii) Income taxes

Subei Dismantling is subject to income taxes in jurisdictions in which Subei Dismantling operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Subei Dismantling recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. 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 year/period in which such determination is made.

(iii) Impairment of long lived assets

If circumstances indicate that the net book value of a long lived asset may not be recoverable, the asset may be considered ‘‘impaired’’ and an impairment loss may be recognised in accordance with HKAS 36 ‘‘Impairment of Assets’’. The carrying amounts of long lived assets are reviewed periodically in order to assess whether the recoverable amounts have declined below the carrying amounts. These assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use. It is difficult to precisely estimate selling prices because quoted market prices for the Subei Dismantling’s assets are not readily available. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the asset are discounted to their present value, which requires significant estimation relating to the level of sales

–II-17 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

volume, selling prices and the amount of operating costs. Subei Dismantling uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of sales volume, selling prices and the amount of operating costs.

(iv) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Subei Dismantling depreciates its property, plant and equipment in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 3(a). The estimated useful lives reflect Subei Dismantling’s estimates of the period that Subei Dismantling will derive future economic benefits from the use of the Subei Dismantling’s property, plant and equipment. Subei Dismantling reassesses the estimated useful lives at each reporting date.

(v) Allowance for bad and doubtful debts

The provision policy for bad and doubtful debts of Subei Dismantling is based on the evaluation by management of the collectability of the deposits, prepayment and other receivables (note 16). A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including assessing the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each related company. If the financial conditions of these customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, an additional allowance will be required.

The directors of Subei Dismantling consider that the fair values of other receivables and which are expected to be recovered within one year are not materially different from their carrying amounts because these balances have short maturity periods on their inception.

The provision for doubtful debts is in respect of deposits, prepayments and other receivables that were individually determined to be impaired. The management assessed that the amounts will not be recoverable.

17. AMOUNTS DUE FROM/TO SHAREHOLDERS/RELATED COMPANIES/A RELATED COMPANY

The amounts due are unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand. Mr. Chen Yaowu and Mr. Zhang Yudao, the director and supervisor, respectively, of Subei Dismantling have beneficial interests in these related companies. As at 31 August 2013, Mr. Chen Yaowu and Mr. Zhang Yudao, the director and supervisor, respectively, (also the shareholders) of Subei Dismantling undertake to indemnify all losses which might be arising from the amounts due from related companies.

26.2 Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument would fail to discharge its obligation under the terms of the financial instrument and cause a financial loss to the Subei Dismantling. Subei Dismantling has no significant concentrations of credit risk. Subei Dismantling’s exposure to credit risk mainly arises from granting credit to customers in the ordinary course of its operations.

At 31 December 2010, 2011, 2012 and 31 August 2013, Subei Dismantling’s maximum exposure to credit risk on recognised financial assets is limited to its carrying amount as summarised in note 26.1 above.

Subei Dismantling’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited with the banks with high credit-ratings in the PRC. Hence, Subei Dismantling considers the credit risk to be insignificant.

26.3 Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk relates to the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rates. The Subei Dismantling’s interest rate risk arises primarily from bank balances and bank borrowings. Bank borrowings bearing variable rates and fixed rates expose bank borrowings to cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk respectively.

Subei Dismantling mainly has exposed to interest rate risk at the reporting dates for its bank borrowings.

–II-32 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

Based on the simulations performed, the impact on post-tax profit/loss for the year/period of a 50 basis-point shift would be a maximum decrease/increase of nil, RMB225,000, RMB281,250 and RMB515,625 for the period ended 31 December 2010, year ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 and eight months ended 31 August 2013 respectively.

The above analysis is based on a hypothetical situation, as in practice market interest rates rarely change in isolation, and should not be considered a projection of likely future profits or losses. The analysis assumes the following:

  • changes in market interest rates affect the interest income and interest expenses of floating rate bank and other borrowings; and

  • all other financial assets and liabilities are held constant.

26.4 Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Subei Dismantling’s businesses are located in PRC and all transactions are conducted in RMB. Majority of Subei Dismantling’s assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, as such, Subei Dismantling has no significant foreign currency risk as at 31 December 2010, 2011, 2012 and 31 August 2013.

26.5 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk relates to the risk that Subei Dismantling will not be able to meet its obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Subei Dismantling is exposed to liquidity risk in respect of settlement of trade and other payables and bank borrowings, and also in respect of its cash flow management. Subei Dismantling’s policy is to regularly monitor its current and expected liquidity requirements, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and cash equivalents to meet its liquidity requirements in the short term.

The permission conditions and permission procedures are set out in the Guidelines for Qualification Review and Permit of Waste Electric and Electronic Products Treatment Companies (Notice No. 90 (2010) of Ministry of Environmental Protection).

–II-40 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

  • Pursuant to the Administrative Measures on License for Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products (Order No. 13 of MEP), the eligibilities and procedures for enterprises to apply for the disposal of waste electrical and electronic products under Chapter II Licensing Conditions and Procedures are as follows:

  • (a) An enterprise applying for the eligibility to dispose waste electrical and electronic products, in addition to being legally established, being in compliance with the development planning requirements of the locality on the disposal of waste electrical and electronic products, and having Value-added tax general taxpayer legal person qualifications, shall also meet the following conditions:

    • (1) having the workshops, venues, storage areas, dismantling/disposing equipment, matching information management systems, and pollution control facilities mapping to the disposal capability that the enterprise has stated in its application;

    • (2) having the sorting and packaging equipment, transport vehicles, loading devices, compression and packing equipment, special containers, central monitoring equipment, measuring equipment, emergency rescue equipment, and processing equipment mapping to the waste electrical and electronic products to be disposed of by the enterprise;

    • (3) having sound environmental management systems and measures, including proper utilisation or disposal solutions for waste electrical and electronic products that cannot be completely disposed of, preventive measures and contingency plans for emergent environmental accidents, etc.; and

    • (4) being staffed with corresponding safety, quality, and environmental protection professionals.

  • (b) An enterprise applying for the eligibility to dispose waste electrical and electronic products shall submit a written application to the competent environmental protection department at municipalities with subdistricts where facilities for waste electrical and electronic product disposal are located, and attach corresponding supporting materials at the same time.

  • (c) The competent environmental protection department at municipalities with sub-districts shall publicise relevant information in the application within 3 business days upon acceptance of the application, to solicit public opinion. The public notice period thereof shall be no less than 10 business days. The competent environmental protection department accepting the application shall verify public comments.

–II-41 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

  • (d) The competent environmental protection department of municipalities with sub-districts shall review the materials submitted by an enterprise within 60 days upon the receipt of the application, and organise on-site inspections at the same time. For those meeting all requirements, the competent environmental protection department shall grant a licence for waste electrical and electronic product disposal and publicise the names of qualified enterprises. For those unqualified, the competent environmental protection department shall notify the enterprise in writing and state reasons.

Upon expiry of the license for disposal of waste electrical and electronic products, the Target Company can obtain renewal of such license provided that the conditions under Chapter II of the Administrative Measures on License for Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products as set out above are still fulfilled by the Target Company.

The Target Company did not receive the subsidies in 2012 because all the 43 enterprises eligible for fund subsidies in the first batch did not receive any subsidies in the year. It was not until 28 June 2013 that the Ministry of Environmental Protection posted the audit results for the types and quantities of waste electrical and electronic products disposed of by each enterprise in the third and fourth quarters of 2012. On 22 October 2013, the Ministry of Finance paid subsidies of approximately RMB18.96 million (equivalent to approximately HK$23.9 million) for the third and fourth quarters of 2012 to the Target Company.

Although the types and quantities of waste products dismantled and disposed of by enterprises are reported quarterly, subsidies are not paid quarterly for the time being. According to the explanation made by officials from relevant ministries at an industrial meeting, the delay in payment is mainly because the fund subsidiary system was officially enacted only in September 2012 and, as the release of the subsidies involve the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Ministry of Finance and several other ministries, a cooperation system among the ministries has yet to be established. As a result, the payment of the subsidies has been affected.

The management of the Company believes that the legal basis of the subsidies is adequate. The delay in payment may due to reasons that the procedures for payment of subsidiaries were preliminarily set up and the payment mechanism was not clear. Therefore, the management of the Company believes that upon the payment of the first batch of funds, the cooperation system among the ministries will be gradually straightened out, payment of subsidies shall be normalised, and risks associated shall become controllable.

For the year ended 31 December 2012, the Target Company’s revenue was approximately RMB25.8 million (equivalent to approximately HK$32.5 million), whilst gross profit was approximately RMB11.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$15.0 million).

Finance costs increased by approximately 31.7% to RMB5.4 million (equivalent to approximately HK$6.8 million), as compared to the same period last year. This increase was mainly attributable to the new bank borrowings of RMB15.0 million (equivalent to HK$18.9 million).

The above resolution was resolved in compliance with the articles of association of the Target Company, and it did not violate the relevant PRC laws in this regard. According to the explanation from the Target Company, the reason for giving up such claim is that 淮安市財發擔保有限公司 (Huaian Caifa Guarantee Company Limited) was a related company of the Target Company. With a view to optimising gearing structure of the related company, Mr. Chen Yaowu, the actual controller of the related company, made appropriate restructuring to the claims and debts between related companies. As advised by 北京元甲律師事務所 (Beijing Yuan Jia Law Firm*), the Company’s legal adviser as to PRC law, the provision of borrowings by the Target Company to related companies and shareholders does not contravene the relevant PRC laws.

In order to avoid the acquisition and merger risk, it has been provided in the Agreement that the waiver by the Target Company of such claim is not relevant to the Company, the Consideration to be paid by the Group did not include or consider such claim, and the original shareholders of the Target Company will be responsible for any claims or rights raised against the Target Company resulting from such claim. Mr. Chen Yaowu shall ensure that the related companies has to repay the remaining debts owed to the Target Company before the transfer of equity interests of the Target Company.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Company will hold 55% equity interest of the Target Company and will become the controlling shareholder of the Target Company. The Company will re-regulate the businesses and cash flows between the Target Company and related parties in accordance with the internal control measures

As at 31 December 2012, the Target Company’s total borrowings amounted to approximately RMB75.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$94.5 million), which were secured by the Target Company’s prepaid land lease payments and were guaranteed by the directors and the related companies of the Target Company. Part of the new bank borrowing raised during the year was advanced to related companies and the amounts were unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand. As at 31 December 2012, the Target Company’s borrowings were denominated in RMB and carried fixed interest rates ranging from 7.2% to 8.856% per annum. 73.3% of the borrowings were repayable within one year.

Contingent liabilities

As at 31 December 2012, the Target Company did not have any material contingent liabilities.

Commitments

As at 31 December 2012, the Target Company has capital commitment of approximately RMB3.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$3.8 million) in respect of the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

Employees

For the year ended 31 December 2012, the total staff costs for the year including directors’ emoluments amounted to approximately RMB2.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2.5 million) (2011: RMB0.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$0.8 million)). Meanwhile, as at 31 December 2012, the Target Company had a total of 136 staff, who are mostly based in the PRC.

For the year ended 31 December 2011, the number of staffs was 21 and labor costs was RMB600,000, representing RMB28,600 per capita. For the year ended 31 December 2012, the number of staffs was 136 and labor costs was RMB2 million, representing RMB14,700 per capita. The decrease in staff costs per capita was mainly because the Target Company was still in construction in 2011 and all of the 21 staffs were management of the Target Company with relatively higher labor costs. The Target Company commenced production and operation in 2012, most of personnel increased were production workers, while workers’ wages were generally lower than that of the management, therefore the average labor costs per capital decreased significantly in 2012.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

For the period ended 31 August 2013

Business review

Pursuant to the Administrative Measures, the Target Company is entitled to government subsidies for the treatment of certain waste electric and electronic products, namely television, refrigerator, washing machine, air-conditioner and microcomputer which are included in the first batch of Waste Electric and Electronic Products Treatment Catalog. The total number of electric and electronic product waste treated by the Target Company for the period ended 31 August 2013 was approximately 859,000 sets, which mainly comprised television. The subsidy per unit for television, refrigerator, washing machine, air-conditioner and micro-computer is RMB85, RMB80, RMB35, RMB35 and RMB85 respectively, which remains unchanged during 2012 and 2013.

The Target Company was permitted to dispose of 1,000,000 units each year. Based on the average television disassembling volume of 107,000 units of the Target Company from January to August 2013, the Target Company was close to full capacity and the facility utilisation efficiency was over 90%. Moreover, in the event that when it is necessary for production and operation, the Target Company may extend labor hours as applicable, hire more workers and arrange shift production without the increase in equipment investments, to further enhance capacity. The Target Company is considering further expansion of its processing capacity to process 2,000,000 units each year.

Fixed assets of the Target Company mainly comprised plant, machinery and equipment, and office electronic equipment. Updating investment may be required for the office electronic equipment in future years due to its relatively shorter useful life so as to ensure the normal operating conditions of the Target Company. It is expected that the necessary expenditures for equipment maintenance and updating will be RMB3 million by 2016.

Financial review

Results

For the period ended 31 August 2013, the Target Company’s revenue was approximately RMB109.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$138.2 million), whilst gross profit for the period ended 31 August 2013 was approximately RMB36.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$46.5 million). For the period ended 31 August 2012, the Target Company did not record any revenue as the proactive policies, including but not limited to, the Administrative Measures had not been issued.

Finance costs increased by approximately 24.2% to RMB4.1 million (equivalent to approximately HK$5.2 million), as compared to the same period last year. This increase is mainly attributable to the new bank borrowings of RMB62.5 million (equivalent to HK$78.8 million).

–II-46 –

The conversion of RMB into HK$ for the consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income and consolidated statement of cash flows of the Target Company is based on the exchange rate of RMB1 to HK$1.26, exchange rate prevailing on 31 August 2013 quoted by the People’s Bank of China. No representation is made that RMB amounts have been, could have been or could be converted into HK$, or vice versa, at that rate or at any other rates or at all.

  4. Pursuant to the Agreement, the total Consideration shall be satisfied by cash of RMB118,800,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$149,688,000 based on the exchange rate of RMB1 to HK$1.26) and the Acquisition is subject to the conditions as set out in the section of Letter from the Board to this circular (the ‘‘Conditions’’).

  5. (a) For the purpose of preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Information, it is assumed that (i) the Target Company has fulfilled the Conditions to the Acquisition and the Acquisition will not be reversed; and (ii) the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Company, except deferred government grant, approximate to their carrying amounts as at 31 August 2013. In addition, the deferred government grant does not represent a liability of the Enlarged Group since there is no obligation for the Enlarged Group to provide any future goods and service after the acquisition date for which government grant has already been received and certain obligations were completed before acquisition. Therefore, the deferred government grant is not recognised as a liability of the Enlarged Group upon completion of the Acquisition.

The recognition of provisional goodwill and non-controlling interest from the Acquisition as if the Acquisition was completed on 30 June 2013 are as follows:

Consideration to acquire 55% equity interest of the Target Company:
Cash consideration
Plus: Non-controlling interest with 45% equity interest (Note 1)
Less: Deemed fair value of the net assets of the Target Company
Provisional goodwill arising on acquisition
HK$’000
149,688
96,030
(213,400)
32,318

Note 1: Non-controlling interests is measured at 45%, being its proportionate share of the deemed fair value of net assets of the Target Company.

Plus: Effect of deferred government grant

Specifically, in the absence of a formal valuation, the Directors have not (i) recognised any intangible assets, (ii) necessary fair value adjustments to the Target Company’s identifiable assets and liabilities, and (iii) the related tax effect. The Company is in the process of identifying and determining the fair values of the identifiable assets (including intangible assets) and liabilities of the Target Company.

Since the fair value of the identifiable assets (including intangible assets) and liabilities of the Target Company used in the preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Information, may be substantially different from the final amounts of identifiable assets (including intangible assets) and liabilities, goodwill and non-controlling interests to be recognised in connection with the Acquisition at the completion date could be materially different from the estimated amounts stated herein. In addition, there may be additional amortisation and depreciation expenses and other effect on the financial performance of the Group resulting from recognition of intangible assets and fair value adjustments on other identifiable assets and liabilities.

The Directors have assessed whether there is any impairment on the provisional goodwill in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standards 36 ‘‘Impairment of Assets’’ (‘‘HKAS 36’’) and concluded that there is no impairment in respect of the provisional goodwill with an assumed fair value of approximately HK$32,318,000, as shown in the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group as at 30 June 2013.

The Directors confirmed that they will apply consistent accounting policies and principal assumptions to assess impairment of the provisional goodwill in subsequent reporting periods in accordance with the requirement of HKAS 36.

  • (b) The adjustments represents the settlement of amounts due from related companies and amount due to a shareholder of the Target Company. One of the Vendors had undertaken to procure and repay amounts due from the related companies in full and the Target Company repays amount due to a shareholder in full before the completion of Acquisition.
The bank balances and cash is adjusted as follows:
Cash consideration
Add: amount due to a shareholder of the Target Company as at 31 August 2013
Less: amounts due from related companies of the Target Company
as at 31 August 2013
HK$’000

  • (c) The adjustment represents the reversal of the release of deferred government grant of the Target Company amounting to HK$3,938,000 during the year.

–III-7 –

APPENDIX III

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

  1. The adjustment represents the elimination of share capital of the Target Company amounting to HK$272,160,000 and pre-acquisition deficit of the Target Company amounting to HK$112,623,000.

  2. The adjustment represents the estimated acquisition-related legal and professional expenses amounting to HK$3,390,000 which would be recognised in profit or loss upon completion.

  3. Net cash outflow as if the Acquisition was completed on 1 January 2012 is as follows:

Cash consideration
Less: cash and cash equivalent balances acquired
Less: amounts due from related companies of the Target Company as
at 1 January 2012 (Note)
HK$’000

  • Note: One of the Vendors had undertaken to procure and repay amounts due from the related companies in full and the Target Company repays amount due to a shareholder in full before the completion of Acquisition, where amount due to a shareholder of the Target Company is nil as at 1 January 2012. The amounts due from the related companies are assumed to be fully repaid as at 1 January 2012 as if the Acquisition were completed. Therefore, the movement of amounts due from related companies is adjusted in pro forma consolidated statements of cash flows of the Enlarged Group for the year ended 31 December 2012 accordingly.

  • No adjustment included in the pro forma consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and consolidated statement of cash flows are expected to have any continuing effect on the financial statements of the Enlarged Group in subsequent years.

  • No adjustments were made in the Pro Forma Financial Information to reflect the effect of the Group’s proposed acquisition of approximately 97.85% equity interests in 惠州廣惠能源有限公司 (Huizhou Guanghui Energy Company Limited) at a consideration of RMB20 million (equivalent to approximately HK$25.2 million) and finance the repayment of certain liabilities of approximately RMB197 million (equivalent to approximately HK$248.2 million) as at 31 March 2013 of 惠州廣惠能源有限公司 (Huizhou Guanghui Energy Company Limited). Details of such proposed acquisition was disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 19 August 2013.

25 November 2013

The Board of Directors New Environmental Energy Holdings Limited Unit 1613–1618, 16/F Bank of America Tower 12 Harcourt Road Central, Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with the instructions from New Environmental Energy Holdings Limited (‘‘NEEH’’), we have undertaken a valuation exercise which requires Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited to express an independent opinion of the market value of 55% equity interest in Jiangsu Subei Waste Vehicles and Household Appliances Dismantling Recycling Ltd. (the ‘‘Target Company’’), as at 31 August 2013 (the ‘‘Valuation Date’’), for acquisition reference. The report which follows is dated 25 November 2013 (the ‘‘Report Date’’).

Our valuation was carried out on a market value basis. Market value is defined as ‘‘the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion’’.

INTRODUCTION

Background

The Target Company was established in August 2010 under the PRC law with registered capital of RMB216 million. It is located in Huaian Industrial Park in Huaian City, Jiangsu Province, the PRC.

Pursuant to the notice dated 11 July 2012 in relation to the first batch of qualified electric and electronic product waste treatment companies jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC and the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the PRC, the Target Company was granted the

–IV-1 –

APPENDIX IV

INDEPENDENT VALUATION REPORT

qualification to recycle and disassemble waste electrical and electronic equipment in the PRC. It is also among the first batch of companies qualified to enjoy subsidy provided by the PRC government for the disposal of waste electric and electronic products.

Pursuant to the Administrative Measures on Collection and Use of the Fund of Disposing Waste Electrical and Electronic Products (the ‘‘Administrative Measures’’), promulgated by the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the PRC, the General Administration of Customs of the PRC and the State Administration of Taxation, the Target Company is entitled to government subsidies for the treatment of certain waste electric and electronic products, namely television, refrigerator, washing machine, airconditioner and computer. The total number of electric and electronic product waste treated by the Target Company for the second half of 2012 was 220,005 sets of television. In addition, the Target Company has treated approximately 615,000 sets of electric and electronic product waste, which mainly comprised television, for the first half of 2013.

Business Plan

The following paragraphs summarise the business plan of the Target Company, prepared and provided to us by the management of the Target Company.

According to the business plan, the Target Company’s waste electrical and electronic products dismantling plan are listed as following:

September to 2017 and after
Period December, 2013 2014 2015 2016 (sets/year)
Quantity of 346,500 1,000,000 1,000,000 1,000,000 1,000,000
dismantled sets

In line of the Target Company’s existing operating conditions, the existing plants, dismantling equipment, land and other fixed assets will provide the processing capacity to its waste electrical and electronic products dismantling plan in the next five years. The Target Company will make a RMB3,000,000 replacement investment on the electronic office equipment in 2016. Apart from this, there is no significant fixed asset investment plan.

BASIS OF OPINION

We have conducted our valuation in accordance with international valuation standards issued by International Valuation Standards Council (‘‘IVSC’’). The valuation procedures employed include a review of legal status and economic condition of the Target Company and an assessment of key assumptions, estimates, and representations made by the proprietor or the operator of the Target Company. All matters we consider essential to the proper understanding of the valuation are disclosed in this valuation report.

–IV-2 –

APPENDIX IV

INDEPENDENT VALUATION REPORT

The following factors form an integral part of our basis of opinion:

  • . The economic outlook in general;

  • . The assumption that the Target Company will be completed as planned;

  • . The nature of business and history of the operation concerned;

  • . The financial condition of the Target Company;

  • . Financial and business risk of the business including continuity of income and the projected future results;

  • . Consideration and analysis on the micro and macro economy affecting the subject assets;

  • . Analysis on tactical planning, management standard and synergy of the subject assets; and

  • . Assessment of the leverage and liquidity of the subject assets.

We planned and performed our valuation so as to obtain all the information and explanations that we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to express our opinion on the Target Company.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

In arriving at the equity value of the Target Company as at the Valuation Date, we have considered three generally accepted approaches: namely, market approach, cost approach and income approach.

Market Approach

The market approach considers prices recently paid for similar assets, with adjustments made to market prices to reflect condition and utility of the appraised assets relative to the market comparative. Assets for which there are established secondary markets may be valued by this approach.

Benefits of using this approach include its simplicity, clarity, speed and the need for few or no assumptions. It also introduces objectivity in application as publicly available inputs are used. However, one has to be wary of the hidden assumptions in those inputs as there are inherent assumptions on the value of those comparable assets. It is also difficult to find comparable assets. Furthermore, this approach relies exclusively on the efficient market hypothesis.

–IV-3 –

APPENDIX IV

INDEPENDENT VALUATION REPORT

Cost Approach

The cost approach considers the cost to reproduce or replace in new condition the assets appraised in accordance with current market prices for similar assets, with allowance for accrued depreciation or obsolescence present, whether arising from physical, functional or economic causes. The cost approach generally furnishes the most reliable indication of value for assets without a known secondary market.

Despite the simplicity and transparency of this approach, it does not directly incorporate information about the economic benefits contributed by the subject asset.

Income Approach

The income approach is the conversion of expected periodic benefits of ownership into an indication of value. It is based on the principle that an informed buyer would pay no more for the asset than an amount equal to the present worth of anticipated future benefits (income) from the same or a substantially similar asset with a similar risk profile.

This approach allows for the prospective valuation of future profits and there are numerous empirical and theoretical justifications for the present value of expected future cash flows. However, this approach relies on numerous assumptions over a long time horizon and the result may be very sensitive to certain inputs. It also presents a single scenario only.

Selection of Valuation Methodology

Given the unique characteristics of the asset under valuation, there are substantial limitations for the market approach and the cost approach for valuing the underlying asset. Firstly, the market approach requires market transactions of comparable assets as an indication of value. However, we have not identified any current market transactions which are comparable. Secondly, the cost approach does not directly incorporate information about the economic benefits contributed by the underlying asset.

In view of the above, we have adopted the income approach for the valuation. The income approach allows for the prospective valuation of future profits and justifications for the present value of expected future cash flows.

In this study, the market value of 55% equity interest in the Target Company was developed through the application of the income approach technique known as the discounted cash flow (‘‘DCF’’) method to develop the future values of the Target Company operation into a present value as of the Valuation Date. This method eliminates the discrepancy in the time value of money by using a discount rate to reflect all business risks including intrinsic and extrinsic uncertainties in relation to the operation of the Target Company.

Under this method, value depends on the present worth of future economic benefits to be derived from the projected income. Indications of value have been developed by discounting projected future net cash flows available for payment of shareholders’ interest

–IV-4 –

APPENDIX IV

INDEPENDENT VALUATION REPORT

to their present worth at discount rates which in our opinion are appropriate for the risks of the business. In considering the appropriate discount rate to be applied, we have taken into account a number of factors including the current cost of finance and the considered risk inherent in the business.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION

In conducting our valuation of the Target Company, we have reviewed information from several sources, including, but not limited to:

  • . Background of the Target Company and relevant corporate information;

  • . Historical financial information of the Target Company;

  • . Business plan of the Target Company prepared by the management of the Target Company;

  • . Financial forecast of the Target Company, which is prepared by the management of Target Company;

  • . Data and information pertinent to determining the required rate of return of the subject business;

  • . Business licenses of the Target Company; and

  • . Other operation and market information in relation to the Target Company’s business.

We have held discussions with management of Target Company, conducted research from public sources and carried out site inspection to assess the reasonableness and fairness of information provided. We assumed such information to be reliable and legitimate; and we have relied to a considerable extent on the information provided in arriving at our opinion of value.

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

In determining the market value of 55% equity interest in the Target Company, we have made the following key assumptions. These assumptions have, where appropriate, been re-evaluated and validated in order to provide a more accurate and reasonable basis for our assessed value.

General Assumptions

  • . It is assumed that the projected business according to the proposed business plan of the Target Company could be achieved with the effort of the Target Company’s management.

Working Capital

With reference to the historical working capital turnover records and forecast provided by the management of the Target Company, the turnover days of determining the working capital during the forecast period are summarized as follows:

2013 2014 2015 2016 2017
Trade Receivables 315 180 120 120 120

Trade Payables 30 30 30 30 30
Accrued Salaries 30 30 30 30 30
Tax Payables 30 30 30 30 30

Terminal Value

According to the business plan, the Target Company will make a replacement investment for electronic office equipment of RMB 3,000,000 in 2016. Then, the Target Company will enter into stable stage of development from 2017 and thereafter. Therefore, it is assumed that the Target Company will enter its stable stage of development from 2017 and thereafter. We have thus applied a terminal multiple of 9.61 on the projected cash flows at the end of the forecast period to derive the value of the Target Company beyond the projection period. The terminal multiple is derived using the Gordon Growth Model, a mathematical simplification to capitalize an earnings stream that is expected to grow at a long-term sustainable rate ‘‘g’’ and discount rate ‘‘k’’ into perpetuity.

The formula is as follows:

==> picture [167 x 25] intentionally omitted <==

Where: g = 0% k = 10.40%

DISCOUNT RATE

In applying the DCF Method, it is necessary to determine an appropriate Weighted Average Cost of Capital (‘‘WACC’’) as a discount rate. WACC is the weighted average of the estimated rate of return required by equity and debt providers for an investment of this type. The required return rate from equity and debt holders relates to perceived risk.

Risk factors relevant in our selection of an appropriate discount rate include:

  1. Interest rate risk, which measures variability of returns, caused by changes in the general level of interest rates.

–IV-9 –

APPENDIX IV

INDEPENDENT VALUATION REPORT

  1. Purchasing power risk, which measures loss of purchasing power over time due to inflation.

  2. Market risk, which measures the effects of the general market on the price behaviour of securities.

  3. Business risk, which measures the uncertainty inherent in projections of operating income.

Consideration of risk also involves elements such as quality of management, degree of liquidity, and other factors affecting the rate of return acceptable to a given investor in a specific investment. An adjustment for risk is an increment added to a base rate to compensate for the extent of risk believed to be involved in the investment.

Comparable Listed Companies

The following aspects have been considered in choosing the comparable listed companies in this valuation exercise:

  • . The companies are all listed companies in Hong Kong market;

  • . The companies mainly operate their businesses in the PRC; and

  • . The companies are in the same industry or engaged in similar business lines as the Target Company.

The comparable listed companies are presented as follows:

Company Name Stock Code
China Everbright International Limited 257
Dongjiang Environmental Company Limited 895
Chiho-Tiande Group Limited 976
New Environmental Energy Holdings Limited 3989

APPENDIX IV

Weighted Average Cost of Capital

WACC is calculated by multiplying the cost of each capital component by its proportional weight and then summing:

E D WACC = * Re + * Rd * (1 – Tc) V V

Where:

Re = Required return on equity Rd = Required return on debt

E = Market value of the firm’s equity

D = Market value of the firm’s debt

V = E + D

E/V = Percentage of financing that is equity

  • D/V = Percentage of financing that is debt

Tc = Corporate tax rate

Required Return on Equity Capital

The return on equity required of a company represents the total rate of return investors expect to earn, through a combination of dividends and capital appreciation, as a reward for risk taking. The Capital Asset Pricing Model (‘‘CAPM’’) is used to calculate the required rate of return on equity investment by using publicly-traded companies.

The CAPM is a fundamental tenet of modern portfolio theory which has been the generally accepted basis for marketplace valuations of equity capital. The CAPM technique is widely accepted in the investment and financial analysis communities for the purpose of estimating a business’s required return on equity capital.

APPENDIX IV

INDEPENDENT VALUATION REPORT

The equation of CAPM is shown as follow:

Expected Required Return on Equity = Risk Free Rate + Nominal Beta (β) x Risk Premium

Determination of Beta

Beta was developed as a yardstick for comparing the volatility of the investment in a specific company of a specific industry to the investment in a broad portfolio of companies as a whole, such as the S&P 500 or the Hang Seng indices. It had been developed as the result of extensive empirical research into the market pricing of risk. Beta has gained wide acceptance as a measure of the degree of relative or systematic risk incurred by investing in an individual company as compared to the equivalent risk incurred by investing in a welldiversified portfolio of common shares.

Specific Risks

To account for specific risks inherent in the Target Company, we have included the Greek symbol ‘‘epsilon’’ in the CAPM as follows:

Expected Required Return on Equity = Risk Free Rate + Nominal Beta (β) x Risk Premium+ε

This adjustment is to account for the fact that the expected return for a company is expected to be affected by factors independent of the general market such as quality of management, maturity of business, liquidity of assets and others.

Parameters for CAPM

The following table summarizes the parameters used for the evaluation of the discount rates:

Risk Free Rate 1.19% Moving average of yields on Exchange Fund
Notes as at 31 August 2013. Consistent
with market practice, 10-year EFN has
been adopted.
Index Return 11.28% Moving average 10-year average total return

APPENDIX IV

INDEPENDENT VALUATION REPORT

Company Specific Risk 3% The risk in the Target Company is higher The risk in the Target Company is higher
than the comparable companies for the
reasons as below:
The Target Company is in the early
development stage;
The qualification granted by the PRC
government to the Target Company to
recycle and disassemble waste
electrical and electronic equipment is
subject to review each year; and
There is no assurance that the PRC
government will grant such
qualification in the future.
Cost of Equity 18.85%

Calculation of WACC

We have considered the following parameters for the equation mentioned above in deriving the WACC as at 31 August 2013:

Cost of Equity 18.85%
Cost of Debt (After tax) 4.91% Long-term (over 5-year) benchmark lending
rate per People’s Bank of China (After tax)
Debt/Equity 58% D/E ratio of median of comparable listed
companies
Nominal WACC 13.71%
Real Term WACC 10.40% Assuming 3% inflation rate

We consider the calculated discount rate as justifiable and appropriate for the valuation of the subject assets after considering the current market situation and business risk.

Discount for Lack of Marketability

The concept of Discount for Lack of Marketability deals with the liquidity that how quickly and easily an ownership interest can be converted to cash if the owner chooses to sell. The lack of marketability discount reflects the fact that the shares in privately held companies are not readily marketable compared to similar interest in public companies. Most of the businesses or financial interests that we are valuing do not enjoy immediate liquidity. We thus face the task of making an adjustment from the value we have estimated from the transactions observed in the market approach to account for the lack of marketability of the business or business interest that we are valuing. That adjustment is what we refer to as the discount for lack of marketability.

In this valuation we estimate that the discount for lack of marketability in this case for the equity interest of the Target Company is at 20%.

RISK FACTORS

Economic considerations

The PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past decade, but such growth has been uneven, both geographically and among different sectors of the economy. There is no assurance that the expected economic growth will be realized and future social and economic changes in the PRC will be favourable to the Target Company.

— Changes in political, economic and regulatory environment in the PRC

The Target Company is subject to various laws and regulations governing its operations in the PRC. The future political and legal changes in the PRC might have either favourable or unfavourable impacts on the Target Company. The Qualification Certificate granted by the Government to the Target Company to dispose waste electrical and electronic products, is starting from March 2013, and will expire in March 2014, and is subject to the Government review each year. There is no assurance that the Government will not withdraw this Qualification Certificate in the future. According to the current policy, the Target Company is receiving the subsidies from the Government for the treatment of the waste electric and electronic products, which are the main sources of the revenue of the Target Company. Likewise, any policy changes regarding the subsidies for the treatment of certain waste electric and electronic products provided by the Government may have a material impact on the profitability of the Target Company.

— Realization of forecast and projection

This valuation is premised in part on the historical financial information and projections provided by the management of the Target Company. We have assumed accuracy of the information provided and relied to a considerable extent on such information in arriving at our opinion of value. Although appropriate tests and analyses have been carried out to verify the reasonableness and fairness of the information provided, events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected. Since projections relate to the future, there will usually be differences between projections and actual results and in some cases, those variances may be material. Accordingly, to the extent any of the above mentioned information requires adjustment, and the resulting investment value may differ.

As the above risk factors cannot be easily quantified or ascertained, we have not taken into account the above risk factors in our valuation exercise.

OPINION OF VALUE

Based on the results of our investigations and analyses, we are of the opinion that as at 31 August 2013 the market value of 55% equity interest in the Target Company is reasonably stated at the amount of RMB127,000,000 (RENMINBI ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN MILLION).

LIMITING CONDITIONS

The conclusion of value is based on accepted valuation procedures and practices that rely substantially on the use of numerous assumptions and the consideration of many uncertainties, not all of which can be easily quantified or ascertained. Further, while the assumptions and other relevant factors are considered by us to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Target Company, NEEH and Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate and Appraisal Limited.

We do not intend to express any opinion on matters which require legal or other specialized expertise or knowledge, beyond what is customarily employed by valuers. Our conclusions assume continuation of prudent management of the Target Company and NEEH over whatever period of time that is reasonable and necessary to maintain the character and integrity of the assets valued.

REPORT ON CALCULATIONS OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE ESTIMATED CASH FLOWS IN CONNECTION WITH THE BUSINESS VALUATION OF JIANGSU SUBEI WASTE VEHICLES AND HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES DISMANTLING RECYCLING LTD.

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF NEW ENVIRONMENTAL ENERGY HOLDINGS LIMITED

We have been engaged to report on the calculations of the discounted future estimated cash flows on which the valuation (the ‘‘Valuation’’) dated 25 November 2013 prepared by Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited in respect of the appraisal of the fair value of the 55% equity interest in Jiangsu Subei Waste Vehicles and Household Appliances Dismantling Recycling Ltd. (the ‘‘Target Company’’) as at 31 August 2013. The Valuation is set out in Appendix IV of the circular of New Environmental Energy Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) dated 25 November 2013 (the ‘‘Circular’’) in connection with the acquisition of the 55% equity interest in the Target Company by the Company (the ‘‘Acquisition’’). The Valuation based on discounted estimated future cash flows is regarded as a profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’).

Directors’ responsibility for the discounted future estimated cash flows

The directors of the Company (the ‘‘Directors’’) are responsible for preparation of the discounted future estimated cash flows in accordance with the bases and assumptions determined and approved by the Directors, a summary of which is set out on page IV-5 to IV-9 of the Circular (the ‘‘Assumptions’’). This responsibility includes carrying out appropriate procedures relevant to the preparation of the discounted future estimated cash flows for the Valuation and applying an appropriate basis of preparation; and making estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Reporting accountants’ responsibility

It is our responsibility to form an opinion on the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the discounted future estimated cash flows on which the Valuation is based and to report solely to you, as a body, as required by Rule 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the content of this report.

Our engagement was conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 ‘‘Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. This standard requires that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the assurance engagement to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the discounted future estimated cash flows, so far as the calculations are concerned, have been properly compiled in accordance with the Assumptions. Our work does not constitute any valuation of the Acquisition.

Because the Valuation relates to discounted future estimated cash flows, no accounting policies of the Company have been adopted in its preparation. The Assumptions include hypothetical assumptions about future events and management actions which cannot be confirmed and verified in the same way as past results and these may or may not occur. Even if the events and actions anticipated do occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the Valuation and the variation may be material. Accordingly, we have not reviewed, considered or conducted any work on the reasonableness and the validity of the Assumptions and do not express any opinion whatsoever thereon.

Opinion

Based on the foregoing, in our opinion, the discounted future estimated cash flows, so far as the calculations are concerned, have been properly complied, in all material respects, in accordance with the Assumptions.
