LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The details of the Board’s assessment are set out as follows:
- In terms of sales growth rate:
CCID Supervision: CCID Supervision is principally engaged in the provision of supervision and consultation services for information system engineering, striving to provide third-party supervision and management consultation services for government authorities at all levels throughout the process of information engineering and construction. Currently, CCID Supervision maintains a stable operation. However, since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the downturn pressure on Mainland China’s economy continues to increase, and the government’s investment in information system engineering projects is reduced or slowed down accordingly, resulting in a decline in market demand as compared with previous years. As such, the Board is of the view that it is appropriate to adopt the future sales growth rate at 4%5% based on the operating data of CCID Supervision for the past years and in consideration of the future business development and profitability of CCID Supervision from a prudent perspective.
CCID Exhibition: CCID Exhibition is principally engaged in organizing exhibition events, which mainly include exhibitions in the green energy, virtual reality, semi-conductor chips and other industries. Currently, the CWP, a green power exhibition, had been held for 14 consecutive years, which attracted numerous enterprises every year. This exhibition has strong influence in the industry and had generated stable and good revenue income to CCID Exhibition. In addition, CCID Exhibition regularly holds VR exhibitions and semi-conductor chips exhibitions every year, and its business direction is in line with the goal of reaching ‘‘Carbon Peak’’ and ‘‘Carbon Neutral’’ implemented by the PRC government and the industry’s objective of developing new generation of information technology. However, given that the exhibition business might still be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is expected that the future sales growth rate is 4% based on the current revenue level of business operation upon prudent consideration. The Board is of the view that the exhibition business has a promising market outlook, and hence believes that it is justifiable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders to estimate the sales growth rate to be 4% based on CCID Exhibition’s operating results in recent years and its future development trend.
- In terms of discount rate:
The Valuer used the weighted average cost of capital asset (WACC) model to determine the discount rate. In calculating the cost of equity capital, the Valuer had considered various factors, including risk-free return rate, market risk premium and enterprise-specific risk factors. The Board and the Valuer had further discussed the selection of the aforesaid parameters.
With reference to the information on the website of the China Asset Appraisal Association (中國資產評估協會), the Valuer selected the 10-year treasury bond yield as the risk-free return rate, i.e. rf=2.79%. As such, the risk-free return rate was determined to be reasonable. With reference to the data on iFinD Royal Flush

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Financial Information Terminal (iFinD 同花順金融數據端), the expected market yield adopted by the Valuer was close to the 10-year market yield of CSI 300 Index, and hence the expected market yield indicator was determined to be justifiable.
- The Board had reviewed the major parameters and assumptions used in the Valuation Reports, among which taxes and surcharges were predicted based on tax standards. Considering that there will be some growth in business revenue in the future, but also considering the level of business revenue growth, the periodic costs (such as sales expenses, management expenses, and research and development expenses) growth rate was set to be slightly higher than the revenue growth rate for prudence purpose. As such, the Board believes that other parameters and assumptions considered are on normal commercial terms and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
In accordance with the CCID Supervision Valuation Report, the net assets (being the total shareholders’ equity) arrived at by using the income approach was RMB77,880,000 (rounded to the nearest hundred), which was RMB787,300 or 1.02% higher than the appraised value of RMB77,092,700 calculated using the asset-based approach. While in accordance with the CCID Exhibition Valuation Report I and the CCID Exhibition Valuation Report II, the net assets (being the total shareholders’ equity) arrived at by using the income approach was RMB73,790,000 (rounded to the nearest hundred), which was RMB58,888,500 or 395% higher than the appraised value of RMB14,901,500 calculated using the asset-based approach. As per the Valuer, the reasons (other than the major reasons) are as follows:
-
The asset-based approach aims to conduct an assessment on enterprise value from the aspect of cost reconstruction, with emphasis on the enterprise’s book value of assets as at the Reference Date; while the income approach is from the aspect of the profit to be made by an enterprise in the future, with more emphasis on the enterprise’s profitability in the future subsequent to the Reference Date;
-
From the aspect of the size of asset, the total assets and net assets of CCID Supervision are far above CCID Exhibition. As a company providing information engineering supervision services, CCID Supervision has generated intangible asset comprising 45 software copyrights through the R&D investment during its development. It is estimated that the appreciation in such asset has led to an increase in the total assets. The final appraised value was RMB77.0927 million based on the asset-based approach, representing a difference of 1.02% as compared with the appraised value of RMB77.8800 million based on the income approach. However, CCID Exhibition is not involved with intangible asset, and is therefore estimated to have less appreciation in asset value. The final appraised value is RMB14.9015 million based on the asset-based approach, representing a difference of 395% as compared with the appraised value of RMB73.7900

The letter of comfort issued by SHINEWING HK and the letter from the Board in relation to the profit forecast had been submitted to the Stock Exchange, and are included in Appendix VIII and Appendix IX, respectively, to this circular pursuant to Rules 14.60A and 14.62 of the Listing Rules.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTIONS
The Group is principally engaged in providing (i) management and strategic consultancy services; (ii) market consultancy services, and (iii) information engineering supervision services.
In recent years, affected by the epidemic and other factors, the central ministries and commissions have implemented the austerity policy required by the government, which has reduced general non-urgent, non-rigid expenditures, and decreased investment in information system engineering and demand for engineering supervision services, resulting in a continuous decline in the operating results of CCID Supervision, which takes governmental departments as its main service targets. In 2019, 2020 and 2021, the audited revenue of CCID Supervision amounted to approximately RMB92.04 million, RMB76.08 million and RMB76.51 million, and the net profit amounted to approximately RMB15.6 million, RMB4.2 million and RMB0.9 million respectively. Due to the decrease in overall revenue of CCID Supervision in 2020 and 2021, its profit in 2020 and 2021 decreased by approximately RMB11.4 million and 14.7 million respectively as compared to 2019. The profit in 2021 dropped by RMB3.3 million as compared to 2020 due to an increase in social insurance contributions generated by CCID Supervision in 2021. In the early stage of the epidemic outbreak in 2020, The PRC government published a social insurance reduction and exemption policy during the period between February 2020 and December 2020, CCID Supervision had saved about RMB3.92 million in social insurance contributions in 2020 accordingly. At the beginning of 2021, China’s epidemic situation was initially under control, the social insurance reduction and exemption policy was cancelled, CCID Supervision resumed payment of full social insurance premiums, and as compared with
– 35 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2020, CCID Supervision paid more RMB4.77 million social insurance premiums in 2021, resulting in a significant increase in total costs in 2021 as compared with the previous year, resulting in a corresponding decrease in profits.
The Group’s strategic and management consulting business mainly provides services such as industrial planning and development strategies for local governments and enterprises. Upon the completion of industrial planning, the government and enterprises will usually gather resources, establish industrial brands and create industrial IP by holding industrial conferences or industrial exhibitions. CCID Exhibition is a professional exhibition company with industry influence. Its main business is planning, undertaking and organising conferences and exhibitions, urban industrial brand marketing and other services. The main service targets of CCID Exhibition are local governments, enterprises and industry associations, etc. It is one of the few service providers in the exhibition industry that is familiar with providing services to companies, possesses years’ experience cooperating with government, and also is qualified to hold international exhibitions in China and overseas. In recent years, the important professional exhibitions held by CCID Exhibition include the CWP, China International Semiconductor Expo (IC China), World VR Industry Expo, etc. Among them, the CWP had been held for 14 consecutive years since it was first held in 2008 and the influence and scale of the CWP are increasing, bringing good operating results to CCID Exhibition. With the confirmation of China’s carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, the position of wind energy as the main force of energy is further proved. It is expected that China’s wind power industry will continue to develop at a relatively fast rate. As an annual event and a barometer of the industry, the CWP will continue to have a stable growth. The audited revenue of CCID Exhibition amounted to approximately RMB48.4 million, RMB38.4 million and RMB46.0 million, and the net profit amounted to approximately RMB8.4 million, RMB4.4 million and RMB10.7 million for the three years ended 31 December 2021, respectively. In 2021, the net profit represented an increase of 27.6% as compared to 2019.In view of the above, and taking into account the development direction of the Group and the stability of its operating results, the Company intends to realize its business restructuring through an equity swap, i.e. the disposal of CCID Supervision and the acquisition of CCID Exhibition. After completion of the Transactions, the Company will cease to hold any equity interest in CCID Supervision while will indirectly hold approximately 59.4% equity interests in CCID Exhibition.
The acquisition of CCID Exhibition can extend the Group’s existing business chain and complement the shortcomings of comprehensive services for industrial innovation. The Group is principally engaged in the provision of innovative comprehensive services of the whole industrial value chain for national ministries and commissions, local governments, national level new development areas, industrial parks, industrial enterprises and investment/financing institutions. Specifically, such services include industrial research, industrial planning, industrial promotion, parks operation and management, investment and financing, as well as organizing major conference activities. Upon the completion of high-level industrial planning and designs, the Group will organize exhibitions and conference activities to promote the client’s industry to their respective industrial participants and target audience. The strength of the Group’s business lies in industrial research and industrial planning, before the acquisition of CCID Exhibition, its ability to organize exhibitions and conferences during the later stages of the comprehensive service
– 36 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
chain is not adequate. Given its leading experience in and ability to organise major conference and exhibition activities, CCID Exhibition can equip the Group’s consultancy services with the capability to carry out industrial promotion for its customers in the later stages, thereby improving and extending the Group’s existing comprehensive service chain, strengthening its customer servicing ability, achieving further market expansion, broadening the Group’s income stream and hence creating future profit prospects for the Shareholders. After the acquisition of CCID Exhibition, the Group will continue to operate its existing business chain with industrial research and industrial planning as the principal business. Meanwhile, CCID Exhibition will exert synergies by holding industry conferences and exhibitions, which will increase the implementation and operability of industrial research and planning and provide customers with comprehensive industrial innovation services, thereby significantly improving the profitability of the Group.
Based on the foregoing, the Directors are of the view that while the Transactions are not conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, the terms of the Agreements were determined after arm’s length negotiations and are on normal commercial terms or better terms to the Company, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

and subject to the conditions therein, (a) CCID Group Co agreed to sell its 53.5% equity interests in CCID Exhibition to CCID Design, and as consideration, CCID Design agreed to transfer its 44.797% equity interests in CCID Supervision to CCID Group Co together with a cash consideration of RMB4,589,700; and (b) CCID Venture Investment agreed to sell its 26.6% equity interests in CCID Exhibition to CCID Design, and as consideration, CCID Design agreed to transfer its 25.203% equity interests in CCID Supervision to CCID Venture Investment.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company held approximately 41.6% and 8.3% equity interests in CCID Supervision and CCID Exhibition, respectively. CCID Supervision is currently accounted for as a subsidiary of the Company while CCID Exhibition is accounted for as unlisted equity investment in the Group’s financial statements. After completion of the Transactions, the Company will cease to hold any interests in CCID Supervision while its indirect interests in CCID Exhibition will increase from approximately 8.3% to approximately 59.4%. CCID Supervision will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and its financial results will no longer be consolidated into the financial results of the Group. In the meantime, CCID Exhibition will become a subsidiary of the Company and its financial results will be consolidated into the financial results of the Group.
LISTING RULE IMPLICATION
As at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) CCID Group Co directly holds 392,610,000 Domestic Shares of the Company, representing approximately 56.09% of the issued shares of the Company, and is a substantial Shareholder and connected person of the Company as defined under Rule 14A.07 of the Listing Rules; (ii) CCID Venture Investment is a 100% subsidiary of CCID Group Co and is also a connected person of the Company as defined under Rule 14A.07 of the Listing Rules; and (iii) CCID Supervision is a connected subsidiary of the Company and is therefore a connected person of the Company as defined under Rule 14A.16 of the Listing Rules. As such, each of the Transactions constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
As the CCID Exhibition Agreement 1 and the CCID Exhibition Agreement 2 involve the acquisition of equity interests in CCID Exhibition and were entered into within a 12-month period, the transactions contemplated under the CCID Exhibition Agreement 1 and the CCID Exhibition Agreement 2 shall be aggregated pursuant to Rules 14.22 and 14A.81 of the Listing Rules.
As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the Acquisition and the Disposal exceeds 25% but is less than 100%, each of the Acquisition and the Disposal constitutes a major transaction of the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 and Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the quarantine and inspection measures against the COVID-19 pandemic adopted in various cities. Among these operating segments, business expansion and project implementation of the Group’s management and strategy consultancy were most adversely affected. As a result of the lock-down and work from home arrangements in the first half of 2020, a number of projects at completion stage had experienced delay for inspection and acceptance, leading to a deferred recognition of revenue from this segment.

the operating results of CCID Supervision, which takes governmental departments as its main service targets. For each of the three years ended 31 December 2021, the audited revenue of CCID Supervision amounted to approximately RMB92.04 million, RMB76.08 million and RMB76.51 million, and the net profit amounted to approximately RMB15.6 million, RMB4.2 million and RMB0.9 million, respectively. In year 2021, the net profit represented a decrease of approximately 94.2% as compared to year 2019. The Group intends to dispose of CCID Supervision after considering the development direction of the Group.
The Group’s strategic and management consulting business mainly provides services such as industrial planning and development strategies for local governments and enterprises. Upon the completion of industrial planning, the government and enterprises will usually gather resources, establish industrial brands and create industrial IP by holding industrial conferences or industrial exhibitions. CCID Exhibition is a professional exhibition company with industry influence under the CCID Group Co. Its main business is planning, undertaking and organising conferences and exhibitions, urban industrial brand marketing and other services. The main service targets of CCID Exhibition are local governments, enterprises and industry associations, etc. It is one of the few service providers in the exhibition industry that is familiar with providing services to companies, possesses years’ experience cooperating with government, and also is qualified to hold international exhibitions in China and overseas exhibitions. In recent years, the important professional exhibitions held by CCID Exhibition include the International Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition (‘‘CWP’’), China International Semiconductor Expo (IC China), World VR Industry Expo, etc. Among them, the CWP had been held for 14 consecutive years since it was first held in year 2008, the increasing influence and scale of the CWP are bringing good operating results to CCID Exhibition. With the confirmation of China’s carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, the position of wind energy as the main force of energy is further proved. It is expected that China’s wind power industry will continue to develop at a relatively fast rate. As an annual event and a barometer of the industry, the CWP will continue to have stable growth. The acquisition of CCID Exhibition can extend the Group’s existing business chain and complement the shortcomings of comprehensive services for industrial innovation. The audited revenue of CCID Exhibition amounted to approximately RMB48.4 million, RMB38.4 million and RMB46.0 million, and the net profit amounted to RMB8.4 million, RMB4.4 million and RMB10.7 million for each of the three years ended 31 December 2021, respectively. In year 2021, the net profit represented an increase of approximately 27.6% as compared to year 2019. In view of the above, and taking into account the development direction of the Group and the stability of its operating results, the Company intends to realize its business restructuring through an equity swap, i.e. the disposal of CCID Supervision and the acquisition of CCID Exhibition. After completion of the Transactions, the Company will cease to hold any equity interests in CCID Supervision and will indirectly hold approximately 59.4% equity interests in CCID Exhibition.

Please refer to Appendix III to the Circular for the accountant’s report on historical financial information of CCID Supervision.
5. Our analysis on the Valuation Reports
As set out in the Letter from the Board, the considerations for the Transactions, and as advised by the Management, were determined after arm’s length negotiations among the parties to the Agreements with reference to the appraised values of CCID Exhibition and CCID Supervision, where the appraised value for CCID Exhibition as at the Reference Date was RMB73,790,000, while the appraised value for CCID Supervision as at the Reference Date was RMB77,880,000.
In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Valuations, we have considered the following:
(i) Experience of the Valuer and its engagement
In assessing the considerations, we have reviewed and discussed with China United Assets Appraisal Group Co. Ltd* (中聯資產評估集團有限公司), the independent valuer for the Group for the valuations of CCID Exhibition and CCID Supervision, the methodology of, and basis and assumptions adopted for, the valuations of (a) 70% equity interests in CCID Exhibition, (b) 19.9% of equity interests in CCID Supervision, and (c) 26.6% and 53.5% of equity interests in CCID Supervision as set out in Appendices V, VI and VII to the Circular, respectively.
We have discussed with the Valuer as to its expertise, valuation experience, scope of work and valuation procedures conducted in relation to the fair value of the CCID Exhibition and CCID Supervision. The Valuer has confirmed its independence on the Valuer’s current and prior relationship with the Group and other parties to the Agreements. We have obtained and reviewed the engagement letter entered into between the Valuer and the Company. We also confirmed the relevant licenses of the Valuer, reviewed the registration certificates of the personnel-in-charge of the Valuation and qualifications and experiences of the personnel-in-charge as registered under China Appraisal Society (中國資產評估協 會). We noted from China Appraisal Society’s website that the Valuer has been registered since 1997 with over 200 certified asset appraisers and the personnel-in-charge of the Valuation has over 7 years of experiences in valuation in the PRC.
- For identification purpose only
– 56 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
We have also conducted discussions with the Valuer to understand its previous experiences on valuation projects, the methodologies, basis and assumptions they have adopted in the valuation reports as well as the steps and measures taken by the Valuer in conducting such valuation. In addition, we also note that the Valuer has reviewed the following documents including but not limited to (a) the Valuation Reports; and (b) the audited statements of financial position of CCID Exhibition and CCID Supervision as at 31 March 2022, prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC. We also understand from the Valuer that it has made relevant enquiries for preparing such valuation reports and no irregularities were noted during the course.
Based on the above, we are satisfied that the Valuer is qualified for giving its opinion as set out in the Valuation Reports taken into account its relevant experience and expertise, its independence, and its scope of work and valuation procedures conducted and the terms and scope of the engagement between the Company and the Valuer are appropriate to the opinion the Valuer is required to give.
(ii) Valuation assumption and methodology
As stated in the Valuation Reports, the Valuer was given instruction by the Company to conduct valuations of CCID Exhibition and CCID Supervision as at the Reference Date on a fair value basis. The valuation procedures complied with the laws, regulations and valuation standards of the PRC related to asset valuation, and followed working principles of independence, objectiveness, fairness and scientificism, and relevant economic principles.
(a) Valuation methodology
According to our discussion with the Valuer, in performing the valuations, the Valuer has considered three generally accepted valuation approaches, namely, the asset/cost approach, the market approach and the income approach. We understand from the Valuer that it has also considered market approach to be not appropriate as there are insufficient comparable companies in the market for both CCID Exhibition and CCID Supervision. We agree with the Valuer’s view in relation to the above based on our understandings, as there are not sufficient companies that operate in the same industry sectors in the PRC as CCID Exhibition and CCID Supervision for comparison under market approach. As a result, we understand that the Valuer has adopted income approach and asset/cost approach in valuing both the equity interests in the CCID Supervision and CCID Exhibition. Whilst both the income approach and asset/cost approach were adopted for the valuations of CCID Exhibition and CCID Supervision, results of the income approach were ultimately adopted as the final conclusion of the Valuations. We understand that both CCID Exhibition and CCID Supervision are considered light-asset companies and in turn asset/cost
– 57 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
approach may not be able to reflect its corporate value in relation to its actual business size based on its asset alone under asset/cost approach. Accordingly, we are of the view that the adoption of income approach for both the valuations of CCID Exhibition and CCID Supervision is fair and reasonable. Please refer to Appendices V, VI and VII to the Circular for the detailed descriptions of the valuation methodologies of the Valuation Reports of (i) 70% equity interests in CCID Exhibition, (ii) 19.9% of equity interests in CCID Supervision, and (iii) 26.6% and 53.5% of equity interests in CCID Supervision, respectively.
(b) Valuation assumptions
Please refer to Appendices V, VI and VII to the Circular for the detailed description of the valuation assumptions of the Valuation Reports of (i) 70% equity interests in CCID Exhibition, (ii) 19.9% of equity interests in CCID Supervision, and (iii) 26.6% and 53.5% of equity interests in CCID Supervision, respectively. We have discussed with the Valuer regarding the aforesaid assumptions and noted that they are normal assumptions. We also understand that the Directors have reviewed the bases and assumptions for the Profit Forecasts which the Valuations were based upon and opined that the Valuations prepared by the Valuer has been made after due and careful enquiries.
(iii) Our work performed
We have reviewed the Valuation Reports and discussed with the Valuer the methodology adopted as well as the Valuer’s experience in conducting such valuations. We understand that the income approach has been ultimately been adopted by the Valuer in its Valuations and such approach is commonly used for valuing a company with CCID Exhibition and CCID Supervision’s characteristics. In respect of the assumptions, we reviewed the general assumptions and special assumptions made by the Valuer for the Valuation, as detailed out in Appendices V, VI and VII and noted no irregularities or unreasonable assumptions made. We reviewed the valuation model adopted under income approach and understand that the model adopted is generally accepted for valuations under income approach. For the income period adopted for the Valuation Reports, we understand the period adopted is fair and reasonable for valuations of businesses similar to CCID Exhibition and CCID Supervision. The Valuer has also confirmed that it is independent from the Group and its core connected persons, CCID Exhibition and CCID Supervision as at the Latest Practicable Date. Accordingly, based on the above our analyses on key parameters and information/documents in respect of the Valuation Reports and having considered the Valuer’s qualification, experience and independence, we did not identify any major factors which caused us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the principal bases and assumptions adopted for the Valuation Reports.

(iv) Profit forecast
As the valuations of CCID Exhibition and CCID Supervision involve the discounted cash flow method, the Valuations are deemed as profit forecasts under Rule 14.61 of the Listing Rules (the ‘‘Profit Forecasts’’). In accordance with Rule 14.62 of the Listing Rules, SHINEWING HK confirmed that they had reviewed the accounting policies and calculations for the Profit Forecasts and the Directors have confirmed that they reviewed the bases and assumptions for the Profit Forecasts which the Valuations were based upon and opined that the Valuations prepared by the Valuer has been made after due and careful enquiries. The independent assurance reports from the SHINEWING HK and the letter from the board in relation to the Profit Forecasts are set out in Appendices VIII and IX to the Circular, respectively. In the same regard, we concur with the opinion of the Directors after conducting our independent review of the aforesaid matter. In respect of the Profit Forecasts, we have reviewed the major parameters such as (i) the revenue growth rate for CCID Exhibition and CCID Supervision, which were prudent projections based on factors taking into account of the industry growth rate, historical annual growth rates, revenue already recognised or contracts signed during the forecast period; and (ii) the discount rate, where we understand that weighted average cost of capital (WACC) was chosen with the adoption of The China 10 Years Government Bond of 2.79% as the risk-free return rate, which is in line with our findings of the aforesaid rate around the Valuation Date on various platforms such as Wall Street Journal and Barron’s, and the adoption of the average 10 year yield of CSI 300 Index as the expected market yield is also in line with the information available from the platform of 10JQKA.com.cn. Accordingly, based on the above our analyses on key parameters and information/documents in respect of the Profit Forecasts and having considered the Valuer’s qualification, experience and independence, we did not identify any major factors which caused us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the principal bases and assumptions adopted for the Profit Forecasts.
In addition, we have also reviewed the terms of engagements of the Valuer and SHINEWING HK. The Valuer and SHINEWING HK have confirmed that their scopes of work in connection with the Valuation Reports are appropriate to the opinion required to be given under the relevant Listing Rules. Further, the Valuer and SHINEWING HK confirmed that there were no limitations on their scopes of work which may adversely impact on the degree of assurance given by the Valuation Reports. Based on the work conducted by us, we concur with the Directors that the Valuations prepared by the Valuer has been made after due and careful enquiries. However, Shareholders should note that since the Valuations involve various bases and assumptions, it may or may not accurately reflect the true market value of the CCID Exhibition and CCID Supervision.
In light of (i) the Valuations have taken into consideration the information as set out in the Valuation Reports; (ii) our work and analysis on the Valuations as set out above; (iii) the Valuations were compiled in accordance with the relevant standards accepted in the PRC as per the Valuation Reports; (iv) the Reporting

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Accountants confirmed that they had reviewed the accounting policies and calculations for the Profit Forecasts which the Valuations were calculated based on; (v) the Directors confirmed that they had reviewed the bases and assumptions for the Profit Forecasts which the Valuations were calculated based on; and (vi) the considerations to CCID Supervision Agreement, CCID Exhibition Agreement 1 and CCID Exhibition Agreement 2 were determined with reference to the appraised values of (a) 70% equity interests in CCID Exhibition, (b) 19.9% of equity interests in CCID Supervision and (c) 26.6% and 53.5% of equity interests in CCID Supervision prepared by the Valuer, we consider the considerations of the Transactions to be fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.
6. Financial effects of the Transactions on the Group
As set out in the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’, after completion of the Transactions, the Company’s indirect interest in CCID Supervision will be reduced from approximately 41.6% to 0% and CCID Supervision will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, the financial results and financial positions of CCID Supervision will be deconsolidated from the consolidated financial statements of the Group. In the meantime, the Company’s indirect interest in CCID Exhibition will increase from approximately 8.3% to approximately 59.4%. CCID Exhibition will become a subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, the financial results and financial positions of CCID Exhibition will be consolidated in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Transactions constitute a business combination under common control as the Company and CCID Exhibition are both under the control of CCID Group Co. before and after the Transactions. As per the Management, the capital increase will be accounted for as an equity transaction.
According to the Directors, this will not result in the recognition of any gain or loss in the Company’s financial results but a debit to merger reserve in its consolidated statement of changes in equity upon the completion of the Transactions. Immediately upon the completion of the Transactions, the consolidated assets and the non-controlling interests of the Company will decrease after taking into account the relating expenses as incurred in connection with the Transaction.
Based on the information as set out in the Appendices II and III to the Circular, the profit margins of CCID Exhibition were approximately 11.4% and 23.1% for each of the two years ended 31 December 2020 and 2021, respectively, which were higher than those of the Group’s and significantly higher than the profit margins of CCID Supervision of approximately 5.5% and 1.1% for the same periods concerned, respectively. In respect of the net loss recorded by CCID Exhibition during the three months ended 31 March 2022, we understand from the Management that such is due to the seasonality of exhibitions that CCID Exhibition involved in generally lies in second half of each calendar year, which is evidenced by the track record of exhibitions that CCID Exhibition provided service, based on its internal records.
– 60 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Further, we also noted that there was a significant increase in gearing ratio of approximately 276% and 345% as at 31 December 2021 and 31 March 2022, respectively. Based on the information as set out in the Appendix II to the Circular, we understand such was because of the increase in net debt which was mainly due to the dividend payable of RMB32 million arising from dividend declared on 7 December 2021. Should we assume the dividend payable be settled utilising the cash and cash equivalents of CCID Exhibition, the hypothetic gearing ratio would be approximately 90% and 130% as at 31 December 2021 and 31 March 2022, respectively. Or, should we assume the same dividend was not declared, the hypothetic gearing ratio would be approximately 31% and 41% as at 31 December 2021 and 31 March 2022, respectively. As the change in gearing ratio is mainly caused by the declaration of dividend which was a corporate action as agreed by the then shareholders of CCID Exhibition, accordingly, we are of the view that such change in gearing ratio would not imply potential adverse effect of CCID Exhibition to the Group’s business in the future.
As such, on a historical pro forma basis, the profit margin of the Group after the Transactions would improve following Completion. In addition, as discussed in the section headed ‘‘Reasons for entering into the Agreements and the Transactions in relation thereto’’, it is expected that the Transactions would have a positive effect on the growth of the Group’s business in the future.
DISCUSSION
The Group is principally engaged in management and strategy consultancy, market consultancy, data information management, information engineering supervision, training courses services and subscription to information system services and other services. CCID Exhibition is principally engaged in provision of exhibition services.
Based on the information as set out in Appendix II to the Circular and the paragraphs headed ‘‘Management Discussion and Analysis of the Results of CCID Exhibition’’ under the section headed ‘‘Letter from the Board’’ in the Circular, CCID Exhibition has experienced growth in revenue and net profit in recent years, which was solely contributed by provision of exhibition services and attributable to the prosperous outlook given the policies and guidelines as issued by the government of the PRC from our understanding as described above. Upon completion of the Transactions, the profitability of the Group would be enhanced from the consolidation of financial performance of CCID Exhibition as it has a higher net profit margin than that of the Group, whereas CCID Supervision has a significantly lower net profit margin than that of the Group.
We concur with the Directors’ view that the terms of the Transactions are fair and reasonable. We also share the view of the Directors’ that although the Acquisition is not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, the Transactions are positive to the future development of the Company and is in line with the Company’s overall interests. We are also of the view that the Transactions are on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID EXHIBITION
APPENDIX II
Our work involved performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 1 to the Historical Financial Information, in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Our work also included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors of Target Company, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Financial Information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
OPINION
In our opinion the Historical Financial Information gives, for the purpose of the accountants’ report, a true and fair view of the Target Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2019, 2020 and 2021 and 31 March 2022 and of the Target Company’s financial performance and cash flows for the Relevant Periods in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 1 to the Historical Financial Information.
REVIEW OF STUB PERIOD COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We have reviewed the stub period comparative financial information of the Target Company which comprises the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months ended 31 March 2021 and other explanatory information (the ‘‘Stub Period Comparative Financial Information’’). The directors of the Target Company and the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 1 to the Historical Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information based on our review.

A review consists of making inquiries, 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. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information, for the purposes of the accountants’ report, is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 1 to the Historical Financial Information.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the Historical Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period.
Historical cost is generally based on fair value of the consideration given in exchange for services.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Details of fair value measurement are explained in the accounting policies set out below.
The principal accounting policies are set out below.

APPENDIX II
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to depict the transfer of promised services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. Specifically, the Target Company uses a 5-step approach to recognise revenue:
-
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
-
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
-
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
-
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the Target Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The Target Company recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ‘‘control’’ of the services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to customers.
A performance obligation represents a service (or a bundle of services) that is distinct or a series of distinct services that are substantially same.
Control is transferred overtime and revenue is recognised overtime by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:
-
. The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Target Company’s performance as the Target Company performs;
-
. The Target Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or
-
. The Target Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Target Company and the Target Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct service.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer, excludes sales related taxes.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability represents The Target Company’s obligation to transfer services to a customer for which The Target Company has received consideration from the customer. A contract liability would also be recognised if The Target Company has an unconditional right to receive consideration before The Target Company recognises the related revenue. In such cases, a corresponding receivable would also be recognised.
Provision of exhibitions services
Revenue from the exhibitions services is recognised at the point in time when the service for the transaction is completed under the terms of each contract.

APPENDIX II
Equipment
Equipment are stated in the statement of financial position is measured at initial recognition at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the statements of financial position comprise cash at bank and on hand.
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash as defined above.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statements of financial position when the Target Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, except for accounts receivables arising from contracts with customers which are initially measured in accordance with HKFRS 15. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (‘‘FVTPL’’) are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
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.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets. Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost and FVTPL.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Target Company’s business model for managing them.
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
The Target Company measures financial assets subsequently at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
-
. the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
. the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment.

Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statements of financial position when the Target Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, except for accounts receivables arising from contracts with customers which are initially measured in accordance with HKFRS 15. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (‘‘FVTPL’’) are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
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.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets. Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost and FVTPL.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Target Company’s business model for managing them.
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
The Target Company measures financial assets subsequently at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
-
. the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
. the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment.
Amortised cost and effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period.
For financial assets other than purchased or originated credit impaired financial assets (i.e. assets that are credit-impaired on initial recognition), the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding the expected credit loss (‘‘ECL’’), through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition. For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, a credit-adjusted effective interest rate is calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows, including ECL, to the amortised cost of the debt instrument on initial recognition.
– 78 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID EXHIBITION
APPENDIX II
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for debt instruments measured subsequently at amortised cost. For financial assets other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired. For financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If, in subsequent reporting periods, the credit risk on the credit impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.
For purchased or originated credit impaired financial assets, the Target Company recognises interest income by applying the credit adjusted effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset from initial recognition. The calculation does not revert to the gross basis even if the credit risk of the financial asset subsequently improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit impaired.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the ‘‘Other income and gains’’ line item (Note 8).
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost or FVTOCI are measured at FVTPL. Specifically:
-
. Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless The Target Company designates an equity investment that is neither held for trading nor a contingent consideration arising from a business combination as at FVTOCI on initial recognition.
-
. Debt instruments that do not meet the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria are classified as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss includes any dividend or interest earned on the financial assets is included in the ‘‘Investment income from financial assets at FVTPL’’ under ‘‘Other income and gains’’ line item. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 6.
A financial asset is held for trading if:
-
. it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
-
. on initial recognition, it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that The Target Company manages together and has evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
-
. it is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument).

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID EXHIBITION
APPENDIX II
Impairment of financial assets
The Target Company recognises a loss allowance for ECL on financial assets which are subject to impairment assessment under HKFRS 9. The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.
The Target Company always recognises lifetime ECL for accounts receivable. The ECL on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on The Target Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.
For all other financial instruments, The Target Company measures the loss allowance equal to 12-month ECL, unless when there has a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, The Target Company recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increase in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.
Significant increase in credit risk
In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, The Target Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, The Target Company considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. Forward-looking information considered includes the future prospects of the industries in which The Target Company’s debtors operate, obtained from economic expert reports, financial analysts, governmental bodies, relevant think-tanks and other similar organisations, as well as consideration of various external sources of actual and forecast economic information that relate to The Target Company’s operations.
In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly:
-
. an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument’s external (if available) or internal credit rating;
-
. significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk, e.g. a significant increase in the credit spread, the credit default swap prices for the debtor;
-
. existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations;
-
. an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor;
-
. significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same debtor;
-
. an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations.
Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, The Target Company presumes that the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 60 days past due, unless The Target Company has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.
– 80 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID EXHIBITION
APPENDIX II
Despite the foregoing, The Target Company assumes that the credit risk on a debt instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the debt instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. A debt instrument is determined to have low credit risk if i) it has a low risk of default, ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and iii) adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations.
The Target Company considers a debt instrument to have low credit risk when the asset has external credit rating of ‘‘investment grade’’ in accordance with the globally understood definition or if an external rating is not available, the asset has an internal rating of low risk. Low risk means that the counterparty has a strong financial position and there is no past due amounts.
The Target Company regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.
Definition of default
The Target Company considers the following as constituting an event of default for internal credit risk management purposes as historical experience indicates that receivables that meet either of the following criteria are generally not recoverable:
-
. when there is a breach of financial covenants by the debtor; or
-
. information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including The Target Company, in full (without taking into account any collaterals held by The Target Company).
The Target Company considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless The Target Company has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.
Credit-impaired financial assets
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:
-
. significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
-
. a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
-
. the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;
-
. it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
-
. the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
– 81 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID EXHIBITION
APPENDIX II
Write-off policy
The Target Company writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or when the accounts receivables are over 4 years past due, whichever occurs earlier. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under The Target Company’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss.
Measurement and recognition of ECL
The measurement of ECL is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information as described above. As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting date.
For financial assets, the ECL is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to The Target Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that The Target Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
If The Target Company has measured the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to lifetime ECL in the previous reporting period, but determines at the current reporting date that the conditions for lifetime ECL are no longer met, The Target Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month ECL at the current reporting date, except for assets for which simplified approach was used.
The Target Company recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Target Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Target Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by an entity are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID EXHIBITION
APPENDIX II
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not 1) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, 2) held-for-trading, or 3) designated as at FVTPL are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Target Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, The Target Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment losses on equipment
At the end of the reporting period, the Target Company reviews the carrying amounts of its equipment to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Target Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating unit, 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 of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or the cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or the cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or the cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID EXHIBITION
APPENDIX II
Employee benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
Payments to state-managed retirement benefit schemes are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit before taxation as reported in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Target Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements 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 difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Target Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Target Company intends to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID EXHIBITION
APPENDIX II
Fair value measurement
When measuring fair value for the value in use of tangible asset for the purpose of impairment assessment, the Target Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Target Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs specifically, the Disposal company categorised the fair value measurement into three levels, based on the characteristic of input, as follow:
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
At the end of the reporting period, The Target Company determines whether transfer occur between levels of the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on recurring basis by reviewing their respective fair value measurement.
Leasing
Definition of a lease
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Target Company as lessee
For contracts entered into or modified on or after the date of initial application, The Target Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Target Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, The Target Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.
4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENT AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Target Company’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the directors of the Target Company are required to make judgement, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses reported and disclosures made in the financial statements. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
– 85 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID EXHIBITION
APPENDIX II
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements in applying accounting policies
The following is the critical judgement, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that the directors of the Target Company have made in the process of applying the Target Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised and disclosures made in the financial statements.
Judgement in determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations
The recognition of each of the Target Company’s revenue stream requires judgment by the directors of the Target Company in determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations.
In making their judgment, the directors of the Target Company considered the detailed criteria for recognition of revenue set out in HKFRS 15 and in particular, whether the Target Company has satisfied all the performance obligations over time or at a point in time with reference to the details terms of transaction as stipulated in the contracts entered into with its customers.
For the provision of exhibition services, the directors of the Target Company have determined that when the service for the transaction is completed under the terms of each contract, the revenue is recognised at the point in time.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The followings are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
ECL of accounts receivables and other receivables
The impairment provisions for accounts receivables and other receivables are based on assumptions about ECL. The Target Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, bases on the number of days that an individual receivable is outstanding as well as The Target Company’s historical experience and forward-looking information at the end of the reporting period. Changes in these assumptions and estimates could materially affect the result of the assessment and it may be necessary to make additional impairment charge to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
At 31 December 2019, 2020, 2021 and 31 March 2022, the aggregate amounts of carrying amount of accounts receivables and other receivables were approximately RMB3,368,000, RMB2,095,000, RMB1,152,000 and RMB1,011,000 respectively, net of accumulated loss allowance for ECL of accounts receivables and other receivables approximately RMB16,000, RMB21,000, RMB8,000 and Nil respectively.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID EXHIBITION
APPENDIX II
Fair value measurement of financial assets
As described in note 6c, the directors of the Target Company use their judgement in selecting an appropriate valuation technique for financial instruments not quoted in an active market. Valuation techniques commonly used by market practitioners are applied. For unlisted debt instrument, fair value are quoted by the relevant bank based on assumptions supported. The estimation of fair value of unlisted equity investment and unlisted debt instrument include some assumptions not supported by observable market prices or rates.
The carrying amounts of the unlisted debt instruments as at 31 December 2019, 2020, 2021 and 31 March 2022 are approximately RMB15,000,000, RMB15,000,000, nil and nil. For the year/month ended 31 December 2021 and 31 March 2022 are Nil. Details of the assumptions used are disclosed in note 6c. The directors of the Company believe that the chosen valuation techniques and assumptions are appropriate in determining the fair value of financial instruments.
5. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Target Company manages its capital to ensure that the Target Company will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders.
The capital structure of the Target Company consists of net debt, which includes total liabilities less amount due to a related party and equity attributable to the owners of the Target Company, comprising total equity.
The charge of governance review the capital structure on a semi-annual basis. As part of this review, the charge of governance of the Target Company consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Target Company has a target gearing ratio of 50% determined as the proportion of net debt to equity. Based on recommendations of those charge of governance, the Target Company expects to decrease its gearing ratio closer to 50% through the payment of dividends.
The gearing ratio at the end of the Relevant Period was as follows:
| Total liabilities Less: Amount due to a related party Net debt Total equity Net debt to equity ratio |
As at 31 December 2019 RMB’000 9,060 (2,001) 7,059 34,145 21% |
As at 31 December 2020 RMB’000 6,558 — 6,558 38,536 17% |
As at 31 December 2021 RMB’000 47,421 — 47,421 17,190 276% |
As at 31 March 2022 RMB’000 51,392 — |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 51,392 | ||||
| 14,887 | ||||
| 345% |
The gearing ratio of CCID Exhibition increased significantly for the year ended 31 December 2021 and period ended 31 March 2022 was mainly due to increase in (1) dividend payable and (2) contract liabilities.
- (1) According to the resolutions of its shareholders meeting on 7 December 2021, CCID Exhibition distributed 2021 interim dividends of RMB32,000,000 through distributing its retained earnings. The dividends payment was one-off in nature and will be no significant impact to CCID Exhibition’s gearing ratio in future. The gearing ratio as at 31 December 2021 and 31 March 2022 would be 90% and 130% respectively if excluding the impact of dividend payment of RMB32,000,000.

APPENDIX II
- (2) Since certain exhibition events in Shanghai of the PRC had been postponed from 2021 to March 2022 due to COVID-19, as such, the amounts paid by customers in advance in these exhibition events had been classified as contract liabilities, the contract liabilities will be recognised as revenue until it fulfilled the requirement of revenue recognition in the future. If excluding the impact of the above contract liabilities, the gearing ratio as at 31 December 2021 and 31 March 2022 would be slightly higher than that as at the end of previous accounting periods, and in a reasonable range.
The Directors fully understand that CCID Exhibition has sufficient cash flow, has good solvency and capability to complete the exhibition events, and has operated steadily in the past three financial years. It will form a useful supplement to the future business development of the Group.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Target Company’s major financial instruments include accounts receivables, deposits and other receivables, financial assets at FVTPL, amount due from a related party, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payables, accruals and other payables, amount due to a related party and dividend payable. Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include market risk (interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
Market risk
(i) Interest rate risk
The Target Company is also exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank balances (Note 19) and fixed interest rate linked structural deposits (Note 18).
The Target Company currently does not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider other necessary action when significant interest rate exposure is anticipated.
– 88 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID EXHIBITION
APPENDIX II
As all the Target Company’s variable-rate bank balances were short-term in nature, any changes in the interest rate from time to time is not considered to have significant impact to the Target Company’s performance and no sensitivity analysis has been presented.
(ii) Other price risk
The Target Company is exposed to other price risk through its unlisted equity instruments measured at FVTPL. The management manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with different risks. In addition, the Target Company has appointed a special team to monitor the price risk and will consider hedging the risk exposure should the need arise.
Credit risk
As at the end of each reporting period, the Target Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Target Company due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the statement of financial position.
The credit risk of the Target Company mainly arises from cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, deposits and other receivables and amount due from a related party. The carrying amounts of these balances represent our Target Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets.
In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Target Company has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts.
For accounts receivables, the Target Company has applied the simplified approach in HKFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance at lifetime ECL. The Target Company determines the ECL collectively by using a provision matrix, estimated based on historical credit loss experience, as well as the general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate. In this regard, the directors of the Target Company consider that its credit risk is significantly reduced.
The management reviews the categories of customers from time to time or at the time when the credit risk is significantly increased since initial recognition. The credit risk of a customer will increase significantly when the contractual payments are more than 60 days (2019, 2020, 2021 and the three months ended 31 March 2022) past due, based on the background and characteristic of customers in the industry for granting a longer credit period.
The directors of the Target Company determine concentration of credit risk based on the size of project, location of customers, credit limit and credit terms. The Target Company’s concentration of credit risk by geographical locations is solely in the PRC, which accounts for all accounts receivables as at 31 December 2019, 2020, 2021 and 31 Match 2022.
The Target Company usually requires customer to pay deposits before commencement of work. Progress billings will be served to customer based on the progress of the projects. In the opinion of the directors of the Target Company, the concentration of credit risk is moderate.
As at 31 December 2019, 2020, 2021 and 31 March 2022, no single customer or a group of customers contribute more than 10% of the Target Company’s revenue. The Target Company has low concentration of credit risk as 43%, 43% 28% and 26% of the total accounts receivables was due from the Target Company’s five largest customers while 9%, 17% 7% and 6% of the total accounts receivable was due from the largest customer respectively. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID EXHIBITION
APPENDIX II
For other non-traded related receivables, the Target Company has assessed whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If there has been a significant increase in credit risk, the Target Company will measure the loss allowance based on lifetime rather than 12-month ECL.
Management considered certain deposits and other receivables and amount due from a related party to be low credit risk thus the measurement of the loss allowance was limited to 12-month ECL.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies and thus the measurement of the loss allowance was limited to 12-month ECL.
The Target Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout the reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Target Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information. Especially the following indicators are incorporated:
-
. internal credit rating
-
. external credit rating
-
. actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the borrower’s ability to meet its obligations
-
. actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the borrower
-
. significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the borrower
-
. significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the borrower, including changes in the payment status of borrowers in the Company and changes in the operating results of the borrower
The Target Company’s exposure to credit risk
In order to minimise credit risk, the Target Company has tasked its management to develop and maintain the Target Company’s credit risk grading to categorise exposures according to their degree of risk of default. The credit rating information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the management uses other publicly available financial information and the Target Company’s own trading records to rate its major customers and other debtors. The Target Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID EXHIBITION
APPENDIX II
The Target Company’s internal credit risk grading assessment comprises the following categories:
| Internal credit | ||
|---|---|---|
| rating | Description | Basis for recognising ECL |
| Low risk | The counterparty has a low risk of default | 12-month ECL |
| and does not have any past-due amounts | ||
| Doubtful | There have been a significant increase in | Lifetime ECL — not credit |
| credit risk since initial recognition | impaired | |
| through information developed internally | ||
| or external resources | ||
| High risk | There is evidence indicating the asset is | Lifetime ECL — credit |
| credit-impaired | impaired | |
| Write-off | There is evidence indicating that the debtor | Amount is written off |
| is in severe financial difficulty and the | ||
| Target Company has no realistic prospect | ||
| of recovery |
The credit quality of the Target Company’s financial assets and maximum exposure to credit risk by credit rating grades are disclosed in their respective notes.
Liquidity risk
In the management of the liquidity risk, the Target Company monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Company’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.
All financial liabilities are non-interest bearing and their maturity dates are repayable on demand or due within one year from the end of the reporting period.
(c) Fair value measurements of financial instruments
Some of the Target Company’s financial assets are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the financial asset is categorised in its entirety is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The financial assets of the Target Company at fair value in the statements of financial position are grouped into fair value hierarchy as follows:
| Financial instruments Fair value hierarchy Financial assets at FVTPL Interest rate linked structural deposits Level 2 |
As at 31 December 2019 RMB’000 15,000 |
Fair value as at As at 31 December 2020 As at 31 December 2021 RMB’000 RMB’000 15,000 — |
As at 31 March 2022 Valuation Technique and key inputs RMB’000 — Fair value quoted by the relevant bank |
|---|---|---|---|
There were no transfer between level 1 and 2 of fair value hierarchy in the Relevant Periods.
– 91 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID EXHIBITION
APPENDIX II
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis. The directors of the Target company consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the financial statement approximate their fair values due to their immediate or short-term maturities.

The Target Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, which is using a provision matrix based on the categories of customers, expected credit loss rates and ageing analysis of gross carrying amount. Expected loss rates are determined by reference to historical data over the past 2 years adjusted with the credit quality of grouped debtors, current economic conditions and the forecast economic conditions over the expected lives of the trade receivables. In view of the macroeconomic in PRC showing no material unfavourable factors to the customers of the Target Company, the management does not expect significant credit loss due to credit curtailment. There are no changes in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the Relevant Periods.
As the Target Company’s historical credit loss experience does not indicate significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished between the Target Company’s different customer bases.
The Target Company recognised lifetime ECL for accounts receivables based on ageing of customers collectively that are not individually significant as follows:
As at 31 December 2019, 2020, 2021 and 31 March 2022, the director of the Target Company considered to the ECL rate is 5% for accounts receivables from low risk customers and high risk customers past due within 365 days with gross carrying amount of approximately RMB3,240,000, RMB1,626,000, RMB158,000 and RMB4,000 respectively, net of the allowance for impairment of accounts receivables, amounted to approximately are RMB16,000, RMB21,000 and RMB8,000 as at 31 December 2019, 2020 and 2021 respectively.

Historical Financial Information in Investment Circulars’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the ‘‘HKICPA’’). This standard requires that we comply with ethical standards and plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Financial Information is free from material misstatement.
Our work involved performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 1 to the Historical Financial Information, in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Our work also included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors of Disposal Company, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Financial Information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

The Historical Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (‘‘RMB’’), which is also the functional currency of the Disposal Company.
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared based on the accounting policies set out in Note 2 which conform with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA.
The Historical Financial Information of the Disposal Group has been prepared for inclusion in the circular in connection with the Disposal.
2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND AMENDMENTS TO HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (‘‘HKFRS(S)’’)
For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Historical Financial Information for the Relevant Periods, the Disposal Company has consistently applied all the applicable HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’), amendments and Interpretations (‘‘Ints’’) (hereinafter collectively referred to as ‘‘new and amendments to HKFRSs’’), issued by the HKICPA which are effective for the financial year beginning on 1 January 2019 throughout the Relevant Periods.
New and amendments to HKFRSs issued but not yet effective

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the Historical Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values. Historical cost is generally based on fair value of the consideration given in exchange for services.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Details of fair value measurement are explained in the accounting policies set out below.
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to depict the transfer of promised services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Disposal Company uses a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
-
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
-
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the Disposal Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The Disposal Company recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ‘‘control’’ of the services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to customers.
– 118 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID SUPERVISION
APPENDIX III
A performance obligation represents service (or a bundle of services) that is distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially same.
Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognised over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:
-
. The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Disposal Company’s performance as the Disposal Company performs;
-
. The Disposal Company’s performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created and enhanced; or
-
. The Disposal Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Disposal Company and the Disposal Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct service.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer, excludes sales and related taxes.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability represents The Disposal Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which The Disposal Company has received consideration from the customer. A contract liability would also be recognised if The Disposal Company has an unconditional right to receive consideration before The Disposal Company recognises the related revenue. In such cases, a corresponding receivable would also be recognised.
The Disposal Company recognised revenue from the following major sources:
-
. provision of information engineering supervision services
-
. provision of other services
Provision of information engineering supervision services
Revenue from the provision of information engineering supervision services is recognised over the service period. The progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured based on output method, which is to recognise revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value of the services transferred to the customer to date relative to the remaining services promised under the contract, that best depict the Disposal Company’s performance in transferring control of services.
Provision of other services
Revenue from the provision of training courses services is recognised at the point in time when the service for the transaction is completed under the terms of each contract.
Equipment
Equipment are stated in the statement of financial position are measured at initial recognition at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.
– 119 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID SUPERVISION
APPENDIX III
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of items of equipment less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
An item of 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 the disposal or retirement of an item of equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
Internally-generated intangible assets — research and development expenditure
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the statements of financial position comprise cash on hand and at banks.
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and as defined above.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statements of financial position when the Disposal Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, except for accounts receivables arising from contracts with customers which are initially measured in accordance with HKFRS 15. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (‘‘FVTPL’’) are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
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.
All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets. Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (‘‘FVTOCI’’) and FVTPL.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Disposal Company’s business model for managing them.
– 120 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID SUPERVISION
APPENDIX III
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
The Disposal Company measures financial assets subsequently at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
-
. the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
. the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment.
Amortised cost and effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period.
For financial assets other than purchased or originated credit impaired financial assets (i.e. assets that are credit-impaired on initial recognition), the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding the expected credit loss (‘‘ECL’’), through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition. For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, a credit-adjusted effective interest rate is calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows, including ECL, to the amortised cost of the debt instrument on initial recognition.
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for debt instruments measured subsequently at amortised cost. For financial assets other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired. For financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If, in subsequent reporting periods, the credit risk on the credit impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.
For purchased or originated credit impaired financial assets, the Disposal Company recognises interest income by applying the credit adjusted effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset from initial recognition. The calculation does not revert to the gross basis even if the credit risk of the financial asset subsequently improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit impaired.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss and is included in the ‘‘Other income and gains’’ line item (Note 8).
– 121 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID SUPERVISION
APPENDIX III
Equity instruments designated as at FVTOCI
On initial recognition, the Disposal Company may make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination.
Investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income (‘‘OCI’’) and accumulated in the ‘‘Investment revaluation reserve’’. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or Write-off of the equity investments, and will be transferred to retained earnings.
Dividends from investments in equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Disposal Company’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Dividends are included in the ‘‘Other income and gains’’ line item (Note 8).
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost is measured at FVTPL. Specifically:
-
. Investments in equity instruments are classified as at FVTPL, unless The Disposal Company designates an equity investment that is neither held for trading nor a contingent consideration arising from a business combination as at FVTOCI on initial recognition.
-
. Debt instruments that do not meet the amortised cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria are classified as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit and loss includes any dividend or interest earned on the financial assets is included in the ‘‘Fair value gain arising from financial assets at FVTPL’’ under ‘‘Other income’’ line item. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 6.
A financial asset is held for trading if:
-
. it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
-
. on initial recognition, it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that The Disposal Company manages together and has evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
-
. it is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument).
Impairment of financial assets
The Disposal Company recognises a loss allowance for ECL on financial assets which are subject to impairment assessment under HKFRS 9. The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.
– 122 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID SUPERVISION
APPENDIX III
The Disposal Company always recognises lifetime ECL for accounts receivable. The ECL on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on The Disposal Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date, including time value of money where appropriate.
For all other financial instruments, The Disposal Company measures the loss allowance equal to 12-month ECL, unless when there has a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, The Disposal Company recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increase in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.
Significant increase in credit risk
In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, The Disposal Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, The Disposal Company considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. Forward-looking information considered includes the future prospects of the industries in which The Disposal Company’s debtors operate, obtained from economic expert reports, financial analysts, governmental bodies, relevant think-tanks and other similar organisations, as well as consideration of various external sources of actual and forecast economic information that relate to The Disposal Company’s operations.
In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly:
-
. an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument’s external (if available) or internal credit rating;
-
. significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk, e.g. a significant increase in the credit spread, the credit default swap prices for the debtor;
-
. existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations;
-
. an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor;
-
. significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same debtor;
-
. an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations.
Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, The Disposal Company presumes that the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 60 days past due, unless The Disposal Company has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.
Despite the foregoing, The Disposal Company assumes that the credit risk on a debt instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the debt instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. A debt instrument is determined to have low credit risk if i) it has a low risk of default, ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and iii) adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations.
– 123 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID SUPERVISION
APPENDIX III
The Disposal Company considers a debt instrument to have low credit risk when the asset has external credit rating of ‘‘investment grade’’ in accordance with the globally understood definition or if an external rating is not available, the asset has an internal rating of low risk. Low risk means that the counterparty has a strong financial position and there is no past due amounts.
The Disposal Company regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.
Definition of default
The Disposal Company considers the following as constituting an event of default for internal credit risk management purposes as historical experience indicates that receivables that meet either of the following criteria are generally not recoverable:
-
. when there is a breach of financial covenants by the debtor; or
-
. information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including The Disposal Company, in full (without taking into account any collaterals held by The Disposal Company).
The Disposal Company considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless The Disposal Company has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.
Credit-impaired financial assets
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:
-
. significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
-
. a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
-
. the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;
-
. it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
-
. the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
Write-off policy
The Disposal Company writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or when the accounts receivables are over 4 years past due, whichever occurs earlier. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under The Disposal Company’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognised in profit or loss.
– 124 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID SUPERVISION
APPENDIX III
Measurement and recognition of ECL
The measurement of ECL is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information. As for the exposure at default, for financial assets, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting date.
For financial assets, the ECL loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to The Disposal Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that The Disposal Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
If The Disposal Company has measured the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to lifetime ECL in the previous reporting period, but determines at the current reporting date that the conditions for lifetime ECL are no longer met, The Disposal Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month ECL at the current reporting date, except for assets for which simplified approach was used.
The Disposal Company recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Disposal Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss. In contrast, on derecognition of an investment in equity instrument which the Disposal Company has elected on initial recognition to measure at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is transferred to retained earnings.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Disposal Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by an entity are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
– 125 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID SUPERVISION
APPENDIX III
Financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not 1) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, 2) held-for-trading, or 3) designated as at FVTPL are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Disposal Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, The Disposal Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment losses on equipment and intangible assets
At the end of the reporting period, the Disposal Company reviews the carrying amounts of its equipment, and intangible asset with finite useful lives to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Disposal Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating unit, 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 of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or the cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or the cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or the cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.
Employee benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, in the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
– 126 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID SUPERVISION
APPENDIX III
Payments to state-managed retirement benefit schemes are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit (loss) before taxation as reported in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Disposal Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements 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 difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Disposal Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Disposal Company intends to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Leasing
Definition of a lease
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
– 127 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID SUPERVISION
APPENDIX III
The Disposal Company as lessee
For contracts entered into or modified on or after the date of initial application, The Disposal Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Disposal Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, The Disposal Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straightline basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.
Government grants
Government grants related to income that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Disposal Company with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.
Fair value measurement
When measuring fair value except for the value in use of tangible asset and intangible asset, for the purpose of impairment assessment, the Disposal Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Disposal Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. Specifically, the Disposal Company categorised the fair value measurements into three levels, based on the characteristics of input, as follow:
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
At the end of the reporting period, The Disposal Company determines whether transfer occur between levels of the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on recurring basis by reviewing their respective fair value measurement.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENT AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Disposal Company’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the directors of the Disposal Company are required to make judgement, estimates and assumptions about the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses reported and disclosures made in the financial statements. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgement in applying accounting policies
The following is the critical judgement, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that the directors of the Disposal Company have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised and disclosures made in the financial statements.
Judgments in determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations
The recognition of the Disposal Company’s revenue stream requires judgment by the directors of the Disposal Company in determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations.
In making their judgment, the directors of the Disposal Company considered the detailed criteria for recognition of revenue set out in HKFRS 15 and in particular, whether the Disposal Company has satisfied all the performance obligations over time or at a point in time with reference to the details terms of transaction as stipulated in the contracts entered into with its customers.
For the provision of information engineering supervision services, the directors of the Disposal Company have determined that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Disposal Company’s performance as the Disposal Company performs. Therefore, the directors of the Disposal Company have satisfied that the performance obligation is satisfied over time and recognised the revenue over the service period.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

APPENDIX III
ECL of accounts receivables and other receivables
The impairment provisions for accounts receivables and other receivables are based on assumptions about ECL. The Disposal Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, bases on the number of days that an individual receivable is outstanding as well as the Disposal Company’s historical experience and forward-looking information at the end of the reporting period. Changes in these assumptions and estimates could materially affect the result of the assessment and it may be necessary to make additional impairment charge to the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
At 31 December 2019, 2020, 2021 and 31 March 2022, the aggregate amount of carrying amounts of accounts receivables and other receivables were approximately RMB14,968,000, RMB13,345,000, RMB18,526,000 and RMB19,568,000 respectively, net of accumulated loss allowance for ECL of accounts receivables and other receivables in aggregate of approximately RMB651,000, RMB325,000, RMB335,000 and nil respectively. During the years ended 31 December 2019, 2020, 2021 and three months ended 31 March 2021 and 2022, the ECL recognised on accounts receivables and other receivables were approximately nil, RMB326,000, nil, nil and nil respectively; while the ECL reversed were approximately RMB472,000, nil, RMB10,000, nil and nil respectively.
Revenue recognition
The Disposal Company recognises revenue from the provision of information engineering supervision service over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation. For the provision of information engineering supervision service, the progress is determined based on the direct measurements of the value of the services transferred to the customer to date. The Disposal Company is required to estimate the remaining services of each project promised under the contract, that best depict the Disposal Company’s performance in transferring control of services.
Fair value measurement of financial assets
As described in note 6c, the directors of the Disposal Company use their judgement in selecting an appropriate valuation technique for financial instruments not quoted in an active market. Valuation techniques commonly used by market practitioners are applied. For unlisted equity investments, assumptions are made based on (i) market approach and the value is based on price-to-book value ratio (‘‘P/B ratio’’), adjusted by discount for lack of marketability (‘‘DLOM’’) and (ii) income approach and the value based on net asset value (‘‘NAV’’) of the investment determined based on the fair value of the underlying investment portfolio and equity interest held by the Disposal Company. For unlisted debt instrument, fair value are quoted by the relevant bank based on assumptions supported. The estimation of fair value of unlisted equity investment and unlisted debt instrument include some assumptions not supported by observable market prices or rates.
The carrying amount of the unlisted debt instruments as at 31 December 2019 is approximately RMB35,000,000. The carrying amount of the unlisted equity investment as at 31 December 2019, 2020, 2021 and 31 March 2022 are approximately RMB8,311,000, RMB10,335,000, RMB17,554,000 and RMB14,684,000 respectively. Details of the assumptions used are disclosed in note 6c. The directors of the Disposal Company believe that the chosen valuation techniques and assumptions are appropriate in determining the fair value of financial instruments.
5. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Disposal Company manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Disposal Company will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders.
The capital structure of the Disposal Company consists of total debt, which includes total liabilities and equity attributable to owner of the Disposal Company, comprising total equity.

APPENDIX III
Those charge with corporate governance review the capital structure on a semi-annual basis. As part of this review, those charge with corporate governance of the Disposal Company consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Disposal Company has a target gearing ratio of 50% determined as the proportion of net debt to equity. Based on recommendations of those charge with corporate governance, the Disposal Company’s expects to decrease its gearing ratio closer to 50% through the payment of dividends.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Disposal Company’s major financial instruments include financial asset at FVTOCI, deposits and other receivables, financial assets at FVTPL, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payables, accruals and other payables and dividend payable. Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include market risk (interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
Market risk
(i) Interest rate risk
The Disposal Company is also exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank balances (Note 20).
The Disposal Company is also exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to fixed-rate linked structural deposits (Note 19).
The Disposal Company currently does not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider other necessary action when significant interest rate exposure is anticipated.
As all the Disposal Company’s variable-rate bank balances were short-term in nature, any changes in the interest rate from time to time is not considered to have significant impact to the Disposal Company’s performance and no sensitivity analysis has been presented.
(ii) Other price risk
The Disposal Company is exposed to other price risk through its unlisted equity instruments measured at FVTOCI. The management manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with different risks. In addition, the Disposal Company has appointed a special team to monitor the price risk and will consider hedging the risk exposure should the need arise.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.
During the years ended 31 December 2019, 2020, 2021 and three months ended 31 March 2021 and 2022, if the prices of the respective equity instruments had been 1% higher/lower, investment valuation reserve would increase/decrease by approximately RMB83,000, RMB103,000, RMB176,000, RMB103,000 and RMB147,000 respectively for the Disposal Company as a result of the changes in fair value of unlisted equity instruments measured at FVTOCI.
The Disposal Company’s method and assumption used in preparing the sensitivity to unlisted equity instrument measured at FVTOCI has not changed significantly from the prior year.
Credit risk
As at the end of each reporting period, the Disposal Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Disposal Company due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the statements of financial position.
– 132 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID SUPERVISION
APPENDIX III
The credit risk of the Disposal Company mainly arises from cash and bank balances, pledged bank deposits, interest rate linked structural deposits, accounts receivables and deposits and other receivables. The carrying amounts of these balances represent the Disposal Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets.
In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Disposal Company has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts.
For accounts receivables, the Disposal Company has applied the simplified approach in HKFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance at lifetime ECL. The Disposal Company determines the ECL collectively by using a provision matrix, estimated based on historical credit loss experience, as well as the general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate. In this regard, the directors of the Disposal Company consider that its credit risk is significantly reduced.
The management reviews the categories of customers from time to time or at the time when the credit risk is significantly increased since initial recognition. The credit risk of a customer will increase significantly when the contractual payments are more than 60 days past due, based on the background and characteristic of customers in the industry for granting a longer credit period.
The directors of the Disposal Company determine concentration of credit risk based on the size of project, location of customers, credit limit and credit terms. The Disposal Company’s concentration of credit risk by geographical locations is solely in the PRC, which accounts for all accounts receivables as at 31 December 2019, 2020, 2021 and 31 March 2022.
The Disposal Company usually requires customer to pay deposits before commencement of work. Progress billings will be served to customer based on the progress of the projects. In the opinion of the directors of the Disposal Company, the concentration of credit risk is moderate.
As at 31 December 2019, 2020, 2021 and 31 March 2022, no single customer or a group of customers contribute more than 10% of the Disposal Company’s revenue. The Disposal Company has concentration of credit risk as 43%, 43%, 28% and 26% of the total accounts receivables was due from the Disposal Company’s five largest customers while 19%, 17%, 7%, 6% of the total accounts receivables was due from the Disposal Company’s largest customer respectively. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated.
For other non-traded related receivables, the Disposal Company has assessed whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If there has been a significant increase in credit risk, the Disposal Company will measure the loss allowance based on lifetime rather than 12-month ECL.
Management considered certain deposits and other receivables to be low credit risk thus the measurement of the loss allowance was limited to 12-month ECL.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies and thus the measurement of the loss allowance was limited to 12-month ECL.
The Disposal Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout the reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Disposal
– 133 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON CCID SUPERVISION
APPENDIX III
Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information. Especially the following indicators are incorporated:
-
. internal credit rating
-
. external credit rating
-
. actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the borrower’s ability to meet its obligations
-
. actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the borrower
-
. significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the borrower
-
. significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the borrower, including changes in the payment status of borrowers in the Company and changes in the operating results of the borrower
The Disposal Company’s exposure to credit risk
In order to minimise credit risk, the Disposal Company has tasked its management to develop and maintain the Disposal Company’s credit risk grading to categorise exposures according to their degree of risk of default. The credit rating information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the management uses other publicly available financial information and the Disposal Company’s own trading records to rate its major customers and other debtors. The Disposal Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.
The Disposal Company’s internal credit risk grading assessment comprises the following categories:
| Internal credit | Basis for | |
|---|---|---|
| rating | Description | recognising ECL |
| Low risk | The counterparty has a low risk of default and does | 12-month ECL |
| not have any past-due amounts | ||
| Doubtful | There have been a significant increase in credit risk | Lifetime ECL — |
| since initial recognition through information | not credit | |
| developed internally or external resources | impaired | |
| High risk | There is evidence indicating the asset is | Lifetime ECL — |
| credit-impaired | credit impaired | |
| Write-off | There is evidence indicating that the debtor is in | Amount is |
| severe financial difficulty and the Disposal | written off | |
| Company has no realistic prospect of recovery |
The credit quality of the Disposal Company’s financial assets and maximum exposure to credit risk by credit rating grades are disclosed in their respective notes.
Liquidity risk
In the management of the liquidity risk, the Disposal Company monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Disposal Company’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.
All financial liabilities are non-interest bearing and their maturity dates are repayable on demand or due within one year from the end of the reporting period.

- (c) Fair value measurements of financial instruments
Some of the Disposal Company’s financial assets are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the financial asset is categorised in its entirety is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The financial assets of the Disposal Company at fair value in the statements of financial position are grouped into fair value hierarchy as follows:
| Financial instruments Fair value hierarchy Financial assets at FVTOCI Unlisted equity investment Level 3 Financial assets at FVTPL Interest rate linked structural deposits Level 2 |

Note:
- (a) As at 31 December 2019, 2020, 2021, a 5% increase in P/B ratio, while all the other variables were held constant, would result in an increase in fair value measurement of unlisted equity investment at FVTOCI by approximately RMB420,000, RMB517,000 and RMB878,000 respectively, and vice versa.
As at 31 December 2019, 2020, 2021, a 5% increase in DLOM, while all the other variables were held constant, would result in a decrease in fair value measurement of unlisted equity investment at FVTOCI by approximately RMB161,000, RMB134,000 and RMB227,000 respectively, and vice versa.
As at 31 March 2022, a 5% increase in discount rate, while all the other variables were held constant, would result in a decrease in fair value measurement of unlisted equity investment at FVTOCI by approximately RMB173,000, and vice versa.
There were no transfers between level 1 and 2 of fair value hierarchy in the Relevant Periods.

The Disposal Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, which is using a provision matrix based on the categories of customers, expected credit loss rates and ageing analysis of gross carrying amount. Expected loss rates are determined by reference to historical data over the past 2 years adjusted with the credit quality of grouped debtors, current economic conditions and the forecast economic conditions over the expected lives of the trade receivables. In view of the macroeconomic in PRC showing no material unfavourable factors to the customers of the Disposal Company, the management does not expect significant credit loss due to credit curtailment. There are no changes in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the Relevant Periods.
As the Disposal Company’s historical credit loss experience does not indicate significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished between the Disposal Company’s different customer bases.
The Disposal Company recognised lifetime ECL for accounts receivables based on ageing of customers collectively that are not individually significant as follows:
As at 31 December 2019, 2020, 2021 and 31 March 2022, the directors of the Company considered to the ECL rate is insignificant for accounts receivables from low risk customers with gross carrying amount of approximately RMB7,518,000, RMB3,782,000, RMB5,004,000 and RMB5,686,000 respectively.

VII. VALUATION METHODS
(I) Introduction to valuation methods
In accordance with the Asset Valuation Practicing Standards — Enterprise Value (CAS [2018] No. 38) and the Asset Valuation Practicing Standards — Asset Valuation Methods (CAS [2019] No. 35), when performing any appraisal of enterprise value, the suitability of the three basic asset valuation methods, namely, the income approach, the market approach and the asset-based approach shall be analyzed based on the purpose of valuation, the valuation target, the type of the value, suitability requirements of valuation methods, quality and quantity of reference data adopted under the valuation methods.
The income approach for the valuation of an enterprise refers to the valuation method whereby the value of the valuation target is determined by capitalising or discounting the projected income. The professional asset valuers shall appropriately take into consideration the suitability of the income approach in reference to the business nature, asset size, historical operations, future profit forecast, and adequacy of information collected for assessment.
– 176 –
APPENDIX V
SUMMARY OF CCID SUPERVISION VALUATION REPORT
The market approach for the valuation of an enterprise refers to the valuation method whereby the value of the valuation target is determined by comparing the valuation target with comparable listed companies or comparable transaction cases. The professional asset valuers shall take into consideration the suitability of the market approach in reference to the adequacy and reliability of business operations and financial data, and comparable enterprises to collated.
The asset-based approach for the valuation of an enterprise refers to the valuation method whereby the value of the valuation target is determined by reasonable valuation of identifiable on- and off-balance sheet assets and liabilities on the basis of the balance sheet of the appraised entity on the Reference Date.
(II) Election of valuation methods
The valuation is carried out for the purpose of the proposed transfer equity interests in Beijing CCID Industrial and Information Engineering Supervision Center Co., Limited by Beijing CCID Industry and Information Engineering Design Center Company Limited.
As the assets-based method reflects an enterprise’s value by putting business acquisition and construction into perspective, and serves as the basis for enterprise operation, management and assessment after the economic activity, the assets-based method is used for this valuation.
As the appraised entity qualifies for the basis and requirements of continuance, while future profit and risks are predictable and quantifiable, and therefore the income method can be used for this valuation.
Beijing CCID Industrial and Information Engineering Supervision Center Co., Limited is principally engaged in the provision of supervision and consultancy services for information engineering for national ministries and commissions, local governments, national new development areas, industrial parks, industrial enterprises and investment/financing institutions. Upon enquiry on the principal business, operation model, asset scale, operating results and other aspects, especially the target customers group, there is no comparable listed companies. In addition, prior to or subsequent to the Reference Date, no case involving equity transfer or acquisition comparable to that of the appraised entity is identified in the market, nor is any comparable listed company with similar business identified. Therefore, the conditions for valuation using the market approach are not available. In this regard, the market approach is not adopted in this valuation.
In conclusion, valuation using the asset-based approach and income approach is adopted in this valuation.

APPENDIX V
SUMMARY OF CCID SUPERVISION VALUATION REPORT
(III) Asset-based approach
The assets-based method is to take the investment amount required for rebuilding an enterprise or an independent profitable entity which is identical to the valuation target at the Reference Date as the basis for judging its overall assets value, that is, the method of calculating an enterprise’s value by adding up the appraisal value of assets which are the various elements that constitute the enterprise and deducting the appraisal value of liabilities.
Set forth below are the valuation methods for various assets and liabilities:
1. Current assets
(1) Monetary capital
As regards monetary capital denominated in RMB, valuation is determined based on the verified book value. For monetary capital denominated in foreign currencies, valuation is determined based on the verified amount of the original currency multiplied by the exchange rate as at the Reference Date.
(2) Accounts receivables
For accounts receivables, the valuer, on the basis of verifying the accounts receivables, as well as historical information and those obtained from on-site, analysed the amount, time and reason of the arrears, the recovery status of the accounts receivables, the funds, credit standing, operating and management status of the debtors. The individual identification method is used for determining and assessing the risk losses of the accounts receivables.
The valuer, on the basis of verifying the above receivables, as well as historical information and those obtained from on-site, analysed the amount, time and reason of the arrears, the recovery status of the accounts receivables, the funds, credit standing, operating and management status of the debtors. The individual identification method and aging analysis are used for estimating the risk losses. Where there are reasonable grounds for believing that all borrowings from related-party transactions and incumbent individual employees are recoverable, the risk of losses is assessed to be 0. The risk of losses is assessed at 100%, if there is conclusive evidence that the amount is irrecoverable or overdue; 5% for external units aged 0 to 6 months (including 6 months), 5% for 7 to 12 months (including 12 months), 10% for 1 to 2 years (including 2 years), 30% for 2 to 3 years (including 3 years), 50% for 3 to 4 years (including 4 years), 80% for 4 to 5 years (including 5 years) and 100% for more than 5 years.
Valuation is determined based on the verified book value.

APPENDIX V
SUMMARY OF CCID SUPERVISION VALUATION REPORT
- (3) Other current assets
In respect of the valuation of other current assets, the valuer verified the books and records, checked the original documents, the returns and other relevant information, verified the truthfulness and accuracy of the deductions, and determined the appraised value based on the book value after verification.
2. Fixed-assets — equipment assets
For the purpose of this valuation, the replacement cost method was mainly adopted based on the principle of continued use and the market price in combination with the features of the equipment included in the scope of valuation and the information collected.
For the purpose of this valuation, different valuation methods were adopted based on the principle of continued use and the market price in combination with the features of the equipment and the information collected.

Appraised value = Full replacement cost 6 Newness rate
-
(1) Determination of full replacement cost
-
1) Transportation vehicles
The current tax-included purchase price of transport vehicles is determined according to local vehicle market sales information and other recent vehicle market price data. On this basis, the vehicle purchase tax and new car registration fee, etc. are included in determining the full replacement cost in accordance with the Vehicle Acquisition Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China 《( 中華人民共和 國車輛購置稅法》). Then a VAT deduction is calculated for deduction based on adjusted value-added tax rate in accordance with the Circular on the Policies in relation to Deepening Value-added Tax Reform (No. 39 of 2019 of the Ministry of Finance, State Taxation Administration and General Administration of Customs) jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance, State Taxation Administration and General Administration of Customs. In this valuation, if a transportation vehicle meets the conditions for deduction of value-added tax, its VAT deduction shall be calculated for deduction, and the full replacement cost of the vehicle is:
Full replacement cost = tax-exclusive purchase price + vehicle purchase tax + license fee, etc.

APPENDIX V
SUMMARY OF CCID SUPERVISION VALUATION REPORT
-
① Vehicle purchase price: The vehicle purchase price is determined according to the vehicle market information and recent vehicle market price data from relevant sources, such as Automobile Quotation Database by pcauto.com, yiche.com, and by referring to the latest market price of similar models in the same location.
-
② Vehicle purchase tax: According to the relevant regulations of the Vehicle Purchase Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (Order No. 294 of 2001 of the State Council) (《中華人民 共和國車輛購置稅法》): taxable amount of vehicle purchase tax = taxable value 6 10%. The ‘‘taxable value of self-use vehicles purchased by taxpayers shall not include value-added tax amount’’. Therefore: purchase surtax = purchase price/(1 +13%) 6 10%.

2) Electronic equipment
The price of electronic equipment as at the Reference date was determined based on the local market information and recent market price published on Zol.com.cn and PConline.com.cn. Generally, manufacturers will provide free delivery, installation and commissioning. The full replacement cost was then determined as follows:
Full replacement cost = Purchase price (exclusive of tax)
For any electronic equipment which was purchased long time ago, if the model is no longer available in the market but the equipment is still in service, its full replacement cost was determined by reference to prices in the second-hand market.
(2) Determination of newness rate
- 1) Newness rate for transportation vehicles
Pursuant to the relevant requirements of the Provisions on the Standards for Compulsory Retirement of Motor Vehicles (Order [2012] No. 12) promulgated by the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Public

Security and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the smaller of the newness ratios as determined below is taken as the final newness ratio of vehicles, i.e.:
Newness ratio of service life = (1 7 Serviced life/Specified or economic service life) 6 100%
Newness ratio of mileage = (1 7 Travelled mileage/Specified mileage) 6 100%
2) Newness rate of electronic equipment
Overall newness rate can be determined mainly through its economic service life; the overall newness rate of the large size electronic equipment can be determined with the reference of its work environment and operation of the equipment. The formula is as follows:
Newness rate = remaining useful life/(actual serviced life + remaining useful life) 6 100%

Appraised value = Full replacement cost 6 Newness rate
3. Intangible assets
- (1) Purchased software
For purchased software, the valuers reviewed the relevant supporting information to understand the composition of the original book value, the method and period of amortization and inspected the original contract to verify that the amounts in the accounts and statements were consistent. The appraised value is determined by inquiring prices from the software suppliers or by checking the current tax-excluded price online.
(2) Software copyright
1) Valuation methods
In accordance with the requirements of the Asset Valuation Standards, the valuation methods of intangible assets include the income approach, market approach and cost approach. For the identifiable intangible assets such as software copyrights which are not recorded in the book, since their income sharing is uncertain after verification, and no comparable within the same scope can be found in the market, the cost approach was adopted to conduct the valuation.

- 2) Valuation model of cost approach
The valuation under the cost approach is a method of calculating the value of software copyright based on its replacement cost at the benchmark date according to the charges and costs necessary for the development of the software copyright.
The basic formula of the cost approach is as follows:
==> picture [102 x 14] intentionally omitted <==
where: P — appraised value C1 — research and development cost C2 — opportunity cost of research and development C3 — Other costs such as application fees
4. Investment in other equity instruments
For investment in other equity instruments, the valuer first investigated and verified the reason, the book value and the actual conditions of the equity investment, and inspected investment agreements, resolutions of shareholders’ meetings, articles of association and relevant accounting records to determine the authenticity and completeness of the equity investment. Then, the valuer focused on investment terms with significant impact on the determination of value, and verified the operating characteristics and operating conditions of the appraised entity. Based on which, the value of the equity investment was appraised by using the appropriate valuation method.
5. Liabilities
We checked and verified the actual debtors and amounts of various liabilities after the valuation purpose is fulfilled, and determined the appraised value based on the actual items and amounts of liabilities to be borne by the title owner after the valuation purpose is fulfilled.
(IV) Income approach
1. Introduction
Pursuant to the Asset Valuation Practicing Standards — Enterprise Value, the income approach for valuation of enterprise value, also known as the discounted cash flow method is a method used to estimate the asset value by discounting the future expected net cash flow of the enterprise to the present value. The basic idea of the income approach is to derive the appraised value by estimating the future expected net cash flow of the assets and then discounting it to the present value with an appropriate discount rate. The basic conditions for applying the income approach are: the enterprise has the foundations and
– 182 –
SUMMARY OF CCID SUPERVISION VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX V
conditions to continue as a going concern; there is a stable corresponding relation between the operation and income; and the future income and risk can be forecasted and quantified. The biggest difficulties in using the discounted cash flow method are the projection of the future expected cash flow, and the objectiveness and reliability of the collection and processing of data. The valuation conclusion is considered to be objective if and when the forecast of future expected cash flow can be relatively objective and fair, and the discount rate adopted is relatively reasonable.
2. Valuation methods
According to the due diligence results and the asset composition and characteristics of principal operations of the appraised entity, in this valuation, the value of the equity capital of the appraised entity was estimated based on the financial statements of its parent company. The basic method of the valuation is as follows:
-
(1) In respect of assets and principal businesses included in the scope of the financial statements, their expected income (net cash flow) are estimated based on the trend of historical operating conditions and the types of businesses, and are discounted to obtain the value of the operating assets;
-
(2) Current assets (liabilities) such as monetary funds, dividends receivable (payable) and non-current assets (liabilities) such as obsolete or idle equipment, house property and construction in progress not recorded in the profit and loss as at the Reference Date that are included in the scope of the financial statements but not taken into account in the forecast of expected income (net cash flow), were defined as surplus or non-operational assets (liabilities) existed as at the Reference Date, and their values were forecasted separately;
-
(3) In respect of long-term equity investments included in the scope of the financial statements but not taken into account in the estimation of expected income (net cash flow), their values were forecasted separately;
-
(4) The enterprise value of the appraised entity was derived by adding up the values of the above assets and liabilities. The value of interest-bearing debts was then deducted from the enterprise value to arrive at the value of the equity capital (total shareholders’ equity) in the appraised entity.
In determining the value of the total shareholders’ equity, neither premium and discount caused by such factors as controlling interest and minority interest, nor impact of liquidity of the equity interests on the valuation conclusions was considered by the valuers.

SUMMARY OF CCID SUPERVISION VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX V
third-party supervision and management consultancy services for government authorities at all levels throughout the process of information engineering and construction. Currently, Beijing CCID Industrial and Information Engineering Supervision Center Co., Limited maintains stable operation. However, since the outbreak of COVID-19, the downside pressure of the PRC economy continued to increase, and the government’s investments in the construction of information system engineering have shrunk or slowed down accordingly, leading to a decrease in market demand as compared to the previous years. Meanwhile, with the gradual easing of the government’s marketization mechanism of information supervision and management consultancy services, the competitive pressure in the market has increased. As such, for the sake of prudence, the slight increase in future income of 4% to 5% has been taken into consideration. As CCID Supervision will further expand into markets outside Beijing in the future, its costs will also increase to a certain extent, and the gross margin will hence decrease in the future.
(2) Forecast of tax and surcharge
The tax and surcharge of the appraised entity include municipal maintenance tax, education surcharge and local education surcharge, which were calculated based on the value-added tax actually paid. The rates of tax (surcharge) were 7%, 3% and 2%, respectively. The company enjoyed an income tax rate of 15% as it was recognized as a high and new technology enterprise.
(3) Forecast of expenses for the period
The selling expenses and administrative expenses mainly represent the labour costs, the office expenses, services fees and other costs. Expenses for the period has a strong correlation with business revenue, hence the increase of which was considered as basically in line with business growth.
- (4) Forecast of research and development cost
As Beijing CCID Industrial and Information Engineering Supervision Center Co., Limited is a high and new technology enterprise, the research and development cost mainly represent the wages of the research and development personnel who are responsible for work in relation to the research and development of the professional testing and management tools required for information supervision services. With the business expansion and constant update and development of tools, the research and development cost is expected to increase in the future.

SUMMARY OF CCID SUPERVISION VALUATION REPORT
- (4) The enterprise value of the appraised entity was derived by adding up the value of the operating assets, the surplus or non-operational assets (liabilities) and the long-term equity investments. The value of the interest-bearing debts as at the Reference Date was then deducted from the enterprise value to arrive at the appraised value of the total shareholders’ equity of the appraised entity.
Value of the operating assets (P)=RMB37.6643 million, and value of other surplus or non-operational assets existed as at the Reference Date (C)=RMB40.2161 million. By applying the above values to the formula, the enterprise value of the appraised entity (B) derived=RMB77.8804 million.
Value of interest-bearing debts of the enterprise as at the Reference Date (D)=RMB0, and the value of equity interests of the appraised entity can be derived:
E=B–D=RMB77.88 million (rounded to the nearest hundred)
By adopting the income approach, the valuation conclusion made by the appraised entity as at Reference Date (i.e. 31 March 2022) is as follows:
The book value, appraised value and incremental value of the total shareholders’ equity were RMB65,157,000, RMB77,880,000 (rounded to the nearest hundred) and RMB12,723,000, respectively, representing an increase ratio of 19.53%.
(III) Analysis of the differences between the valuation conclusions
In this valuation, the net assets (being the total shareholders’ equity) arrived at by using the income approach was RMB77,880,000 (rounded to the nearest hundred), which was RMB787,300 or 1.02% higher than the appraised value of RMB77,092,700 calculated using the asset-based approach. The major reasons for the difference in outcome under the two valuation methods are set out as follows:
-
The asset-based approach takes the replacement cost of assets as the valuation standard, and reflects the necessary social labor consumed by asset investments (acquisition and construction cost), but such acquisition and construction cost usually changes along with the changes of national economy;
-
The income approach takes the expected incomes of assets as the valuation standard, and reflects the size of the operating capacity (profitability) of assets, but such profitability is usually affected by various conditions, such as the macro economy, governmental control and effective usage of assets.
Therefore, the difference exists between the results of the two valuation methods.
(IV) Selection of valuation conclusions
The asset-based approach accesses the fair market value of assets from the perspective of asset replacement, which can only reflect the value of the assets of an enterprise, but cannot fully and reasonably reflect the comprehensive profitability of
– 194 –
APPENDIX V
SUMMARY OF CCID SUPERVISION VALUATION REPORT
the various assets and the growth of an enterprise, and it cannot cover the value of intangible resources such as contracts in force, customer resources and human resources. The asset-based approach only accesses each individual tangible asset and intangible asset, and thus may not fully reflect the contribution of such individual assets combined to the whole company, nor fully measure the synergy arising from the complementary and organic combination of each individual asset. Judging from the asset structure of CCID Supervision, CCID Supervision is an asset-light company, the value of which cannot be fully reflected under the asset-based approach, so the asset-based approach was not adopted.
The expected return from assets is deemed as the value standard of the income approach, reflecting the level of operating capacity (profitability) of assets and accessing the value of an enterprise by its profitability. For investors, the value of an enterprise depends on its expected returns in the future. The income approach not only considers the assets of an enterprise measured in accordance with accounting principles, but also takes into account the resources effectively owned or controlled by the enterprise which cannot be reflected in the balance sheet, such as contracts in force, customer resources, sales networks, potential projects, enterprise qualifications, human resources and R&D capabilities, the contribution of which to the enterprise is reflected in the net cash flows of the enterprise. Therefore, the valuation conclusion under the income approach can better reflect the overall growth and profitability of an enterprise. CCID Supervision is engaged in providing supervision services. The overall profitability of an enterprise is driven by all external factors combined with its internal conditions. Therefore, the income approach can reflect the value of CCID Supervision more comprehensively and reasonably.
Based on the above, the appraised value of the total shareholders’ equity of Beijing CCID Industrial and Information Engineering Supervision Center Co., Limited as at the Reference Date was RMB77,880,000 (rounded to the nearest hundred).

VII. VALUATION METHODS
(I) Introduction to valuation methods
In accordance with the Asset Valuation Practicing Standards — Enterprise Value (CAS [2018] No. 38) and the Asset Valuation Practicing Standards — Asset Valuation Methods (CAS [2019] No. 35), when performing any appraisal of enterprise value, the suitability of the three basic asset valuation methods, namely, the income approach, the market approach and the asset-based approach shall be analyzed based on the purpose of valuation, the valuation target, the type of the value, suitability requirements of valuation methods, quality and quantity of reference data adopted under the valuation methods.
The income approach for the valuation of an enterprise refers to the valuation method whereby the value of the valuation target is determined by capitalising or discounting the projected income. The professional asset valuers shall appropriately take into consideration the suitability of the income approach in reference to the business nature, asset size, historical operations, future profit forecast, and adequacy of information collected for assessment.
– 213 –
APPENDIX VI
SUMMARY OF CCID EXHIBITION VALUATION REPORT 1
The market approach for the valuation of an enterprise refers to the valuation method whereby the value of the valuation target is determined by comparing the valuation target with comparable listed companies or comparable transaction cases. The professional asset valuers shall take into consideration the suitability of the market approach in reference to the adequacy and reliability of business operations and financial data, and comparable enterprises to collated.
The asset-based approach for the valuation of an enterprise refers to the valuation method whereby the value of the valuation target is determined by reasonable valuation of identifiable on- and off-balance sheet assets and liabilities on the basis of the balance sheet of the appraised entity on the Reference Date.
(II) Election of valuation methods
The valuation is carried out for the purpose of the proposed transfer equity interests in Beijing CCID Exhibition Co. Ltd. by Beijing CCID Industrial and Information Engineering Supervision Center Co., Limited.
As the assets-based method reflects an enterprise’s value by putting business acquisition and construction into perspective, and serves as the basis for enterprise operation, management and assessment after the economic activity, the assets-based method is used for this valuation.
As the appraised entity qualifies for the basis and requirements of continuance, while future profit and risks are predictable and quantifiable, and therefore the income method can be used for this valuation.
Prior to or subsequent to the Reference Date, no case involving equity transfer or acquisition comparable to that of the appraised entity is identified in the market, nor is any comparable listed company with similar business identified. Therefore, the conditions for valuation using the market approach are not available. In this regard, the market approach is not adopted in this valuation.
In conclusion, valuation using the asset-based approach and income approach is adopted in this valuation.
(III) Asset-based approach
The assets-based method is to take the investment amount required for rebuilding an enterprise or an independent profitable entity which is identical to the valuation target at the Reference Date as the basis for judging its overall assets value, that is, the method of calculating an enterprise’s value by adding up the appraisal value of assets which are the various elements that constitute the enterprise and deducting the appraisal value of liabilities.

APPENDIX VI
SUMMARY OF CCID EXHIBITION VALUATION REPORT 1
Set forth below are the valuation methods for various assets and liabilities:
-
Current assets
-
(1) Monetary capital
As regards monetary capital denominated in RMB, valuation is determined based on the verified book value. For monetary capital denominated in foreign currencies, valuation is determined based on the verified amount of the original currency multiplied by the exchange rate as at the Reference Date.
(2) Accounts receivables
For accounts receivables, the valuer, on the basis of verifying the accounts receivables, as well as historical information and those obtained from on-site, analysed the amount, time and reason of the arrears, the recovery status of the accounts receivables, the funds, credit standing, operating and management status of the debtors. The individual identification method is used for determining and assessing the risk losses of the accounts receivables.
The valuer, on the basis of verifying the above receivables, as well as historical information and those obtained from on-site, analysed the amount, time and reason of the arrears, the recovery status of the accounts receivables, the funds, credit standing, operating and management status of the debtors. The individual identification method and aging analysis are used for estimating the risk losses. Where there are reasonable grounds for believing that all borrowings from related-party transactions and incumbent individual employees are recoverable, the risk of losses is assessed to be 0. The risk of losses is assessed at 100%, if there is conclusive evidence that the amount is irrecoverable or overdue; 5% for external units aged 0 to 6 months (including 6 months), 5% for 7 to 12 months (including 12 months), 10% for 1 to 2 years (including 2 years), 30% for 2 to 3 years (including 3 years), 50% for 3 to 4 years (including 4 years), 80% for 4 to 5 years (including 5 years) and 100% for more than 5 years.
Valuation is determined based on the verified book value.
(3) Prepayments
As regards prepayments, the valuer inspected the relevant purchase and payment contracts, understood the status of services received during the period from Reference Date to on-site survey, found no supplier had entered into bankruptcy, cancelled, or failed to make timely delivery of goods and services in accordance with the contract, valuation is determined based on the verified book value.

- (4) Other current assets
In respect of other current assets, the valuer verified the recorded accounting vouchers and the composition of book value, determined the appraised value based on the verified book value.
2. Fixed-assets — equipment assets
For the purpose of this valuation, the replacement cost method was mainly adopted based on the principle of continued use and the market price in combination with the features of the equipment included in the scope of valuation and the information collected.
For the purpose of this valuation, different valuation methods were adopted based on the principle of continued use and the market price in combination with the features of the equipment and the information collected.
In respect of equipment under normal operation, the replacement cost method was mainly adopted to conduct the valuation.
Appraised value = Full replacement cost 6 Newness rate
-
(1) Determination of full replacement cost
-
1) Transportation vehicles
The current tax-included purchase price of transport vehicles is determined according to local vehicle market sales information and other recent vehicle market price data. On this basis, the vehicle purchase tax and new car registration fee, etc. are included in determining the full replacement cost in accordance with the Vehicle Acquisition Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China 《( 中華人民共和 國車輛購置稅法》). Then a VAT deduction is calculated for deduction based on adjusted value-added tax rate in accordance with The Circular on the Policies in relation to Deepening Value-added Tax Reform (No. 39 of 2019 of the Ministry of Finance, State Taxation Administration and General Administration of Customs) jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance, State Taxation Administration and General Administration of Customs. In this valuation, if a transportation vehicle meets the conditions for deduction of value-added tax, its VAT deduction shall be calculated for deduction, and the full replacement cost of the vehicle is:
Full replacement cost = tax-exclusive purchase price + vehicle purchase tax + license fee, etc.
- ① Vehicle purchase price: The vehicle purchase price is determined according to the vehicle market information and recent vehicle market price data from relevant sources, such as
– 216 –
APPENDIX VI
SUMMARY OF CCID EXHIBITION VALUATION REPORT 1
Automobile Quotation Database by pcauto.com, yiche.com, and by referring to the latest market price of similar models in the same location.
-
② Vehicle purchase tax: According to the relevant regulations of the Vehicle Purchase Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (Order No. 294 of 2001 of the State Council) (《中華人民 共和國車輛購置稅法》): taxable amount of vehicle purchase tax = taxable value 6 10%. The ‘‘taxable value of self-use vehicles purchased by taxpayers shall not include value-added tax amount’’. Therefore: purchase surtax = purchase price/(1 +13%) 6 10%.
-
③ New vehicle registration fee, etc.: Determined by the content and amount of such fees in the place where the vehicle is located.
-
2) Electronic equipment
The price of electronic equipment as at the Reference date was determined based on the local market information and recent market price published on Zol.com.cn and PConline.com.cn. Generally, manufacturers will provide free delivery, installation and commissioning. The full replacement cost was then determined as follows:
Full replacement cost = Purchase price (exclusive of tax)
For any electronic equipment which was purchased long time ago, if the model is no longer available in the market but the equipment is still in service, its full replacement cost was determined by reference to prices in the second-hand market.
(2) Determination of newness rate
- 1) Newness rate for transportation vehicles
Pursuant to the relevant requirements of the Provisions on the Standards for Compulsory Retirement of Motor Vehicles (Order [2012] No. 12) promulgated by the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the smaller of the newness ratios as determined below is taken as the final newness ratio of vehicles, i.e.:
Newness ratio of service life = (1 7 Serviced life/Specified or economic service life) 6 100%
– 217 –
APPENDIX VI
SUMMARY OF CCID EXHIBITION VALUATION REPORT 1
Newness ratio of mileage = (1 7 Travelled mileage/Specified mileage) 6 100%
- 2) Newness rate of electronic equipment
Overall newness rate can be determined mainly through its economic service life; the overall newness rate of the large size electronic equipment can be determined with the reference of its work environment and operation of the equipment. The formula is as follows:
Newness rate = remaining useful life/(actual serviced life + remaining useful life) 6 100%
- (3) Determination of appraised value
Appraised value = Full replacement cost 6 Newness rate
3. Deferred income tax assets
The valuer investigated and understood the reasons for the occurrence of deferred income tax assets, inspected relevant accounting regulations for recognizing deferred income tax assets, investigated and understood the cause and forming process of deferred income tax assets, verified whether the amount conforms to the relevant accounting policies of enterprise and tax law. Based on which, determined the appraised value of deferred income tax assets.
4. Liabilities
We checked and verified the actual debtors and amounts of various liabilities after the valuation purpose is fulfilled, and determined the appraised value based on the actual items and amounts of liabilities to be borne by the title owner after the valuation purpose is fulfilled.
(IV) Income approach
1. Introduction
Pursuant to the Asset Valuation Practicing Standards — Enterprise Value, the income approach for valuation of enterprise value, also known as the discounted cash flow method is a method used to estimate the asset value by discounting the future expected net cash flow of the enterprise to the present value. The basic idea of the income approach is to derive the appraised value by estimating the future expected net cash flow of the assets and then discounting it to the present value with an appropriate discount rate. The basic conditions for applying the income approach are: the enterprise has the foundations and conditions to continue as a going concern; there is a stable corresponding relation between the operation and income; and the future income and risk can be forecasted and quantified. The biggest difficulties in using the discounted cash

APPENDIX VI
flow method are the projection of the future expected cash flow, and the objectiveness and reliability of the collection and processing of data. The valuation conclusion is considered to be objective if and when the forecast of future expected cash flow can be relatively objective and fair, and the discount rate adopted is relatively reasonable.
2. Valuation methods
According to the due diligence results and the asset composition and characteristics of principal operations of the appraised entity, in this valuation, the value of the equity capital of the appraised entity was estimated based on the financial statements of its parent company. The basic method of the valuation is as follows:
-
(1) In respect of assets and principal businesses included in the scope of the financial statements, their expected income (net cash flow) are estimated based on the trend of historical operating conditions and the types of businesses, and are discounted to obtain the value of the operating assets;
-
(2) Current assets (liabilities) such as monetary funds, dividends receivable (payable) and non-current assets (liabilities) such as obsolete or idle equipment, house property and construction in progress not recorded in the profit and loss as at the Reference Date that are included in the scope of the financial statements but not taken into account in the forecast of expected income (net cash flow), were defined as surplus or non-operational assets (liabilities) existed as at the Reference Date, and their values were forecasted separately;
-
(3) In respect of long-term equity investments included in the scope of the financial statements but not taken into account in the estimation of expected income (net cash flow), their values were forecasted separately;
-
(4) The enterprise value of the appraised entity was derived by adding up the values of the above assets and liabilities. The value of interest-bearing debts was then deducted from the enterprise value to arrive at the value of the equity capital (total shareholders’ equity) in the appraised entity.
In determining the value of the total shareholders’ equity, neither premium and discount caused by such factors as controlling interest and minority interest, nor impact of liquidity of the equity interests on the valuation conclusions was considered by the valuers.

-
(1) Obtain the value of the operating assets by discounting based on the forecast of net cash flows, i.e. RMB80.7946 million;
-
(2) Calculate the value of surplus or non-operational assets (liabilities) existed as at the Reference Date, i.e. RMB-7.0054 million;
-
(3) Calculate the value of long-term equity investments, i.e. RMB0;
-
(4) The enterprise value of the appraised entity was derived by adding up the value of the operating assets, the surplus or non-operational assets (liabilities) and the long-term equity investments. The value of the interest-bearing debts as at the Reference Date was then deducted from the enterprise value to arrive at the appraised value of the total shareholders’ equity of the appraised entity.
Value of the operating assets (P) = RMB80.7946 million, value of other surplus or non-operational assets existed as at the Reference Date (C)=RMB-7.0054 million and value of long-term equity investments (I)=RMB0. By applying the above values to the formula, the enterprise value of the appraised entity (B) derived=RMB73.7892 million.
Value of interest-bearing debts of the enterprise as at the Reference Date (D)=RMB0, and the value of equity interests of the appraised entity can be derived:
E=B–D=RMB73.79 million (rounded to the nearest hundred)

APPENDIX VI
SUMMARY OF CCID EXHIBITION VALUATION REPORT 1
By adopting the income approach, the valuation conclusion made by the appraised entity as at Reference Date is as follows:
The book value, appraised value and incremental value of the total shareholders’ equity were RMB14,886,900, RMB73,790,000 (rounded to the nearest hundred) and RMB58,902,300, respectively, representing an increase ratio of 395.67%.
(III) Analysis of the differences between the valuation conclusions
In this valuation, the net assets (being the total shareholders’ equity) arrived at by using the income approach was RMB73,790,000 (rounded to the nearest hundred), which was RMB58,888,500 or 395% higher than the appraised value of RMB14,901,500 calculated using the asset-based approach. The major reasons for the difference in outcome under the two valuation methods are set out as follows:
-
The asset-based approach takes the replacement cost of assets as the valuation standard, and reflects the necessary social labor consumed by asset investments (acquisition and construction cost), but such acquisition and construction cost usually changes along with the changes of national economy;
-
The income approach takes the expected incomes of assets as the valuation standard, and reflects the size of the operating capacity (profitability) of assets, but such profitability is usually affected by various conditions, such as the macro economy, governmental control and effective usage of assets.
Therefore, the difference exists between the results of the two valuation methods.
(IV) Selection of valuation conclusions
The asset-based approach accesses the fair market value of assets from the perspective of asset replacement, which can only reflect the value of the assets of an enterprise, but cannot fully and reasonably reflect the comprehensive profitability of the various assets and the growth of an enterprise, and it cannot cover the value of intangible resources such as contracts in force, customer resources and human resources. The asset-based approach only accesses each individual tangible asset and intangible asset, and thus may not fully reflect the contribution of such individual assets combined to the whole company, nor fully measure the synergy arising from the complementary and organic combination of each individual asset. Judging from the asset structure, CCID Exhibition is an asset-light company, so the asset-based approach was not adopted as it cannot fully reflect the value of CCID Exhibition.
The income approach not only considers the assets of an enterprise measured in accordance with accounting principles, but also takes into account the resources effectively owned or controlled by the enterprise which cannot be reflected in the balance sheet, such as contracts in force, customer resources, sales networks, potential projects, enterprise qualifications, human resources and R&D capabilities, the
– 230 –
APPENDIX VI
SUMMARY OF CCID EXHIBITION VALUATION REPORT 1
contribution of which to the enterprise is reflected in the net cash flows of the enterprise. Therefore, the valuation conclusion under the income approach can better reflect the overall growth and profitability of an enterprise.
In addition to tangible resources such as fixed assets, the main value of CCID Exhibition also includes the contribution of important intangible resources such as the extensive management experience, the ability of organizing large-scale professional exhibitions and service experience, and the stable customer resources of the enterprise, which cannot be quantified and reflected in the balance sheet of the target company. The income approach determines the value of the target company by discounting the cash flows generated by the enterprise in the future years, which can reasonably reflect the synergy value produced by the qualifications owned by the enterprise, the operation and management, and business development ability of the management, customer resources and various other factors, therefore, it can reflect the market value of CCID Exhibition more comprehensively and reasonably.
Therefore, the appraised value of 19.9% equity interests in Beijing CCID Exhibition Co. Ltd. held by Beijing CCID Industrial and Information Engineering Supervision Center Co., Limited was RMB14,684,200.
Neither the premium arising from control nor the discount arising from minority interests has been taken into account for the valuation conclusions.

VII. VALUATION METHODS
(I) Introduction to valuation methods
In accordance with the Asset Valuation Practicing Standards — Enterprise Value (CAS [2018] No. 38) and the Asset Valuation Practicing Standards — Asset Valuation Methods (CAS [2019] No. 35), when performing any appraisal of enterprise value, the suitability of the three basic asset valuation methods, namely, the income approach, the market approach and the asset-based approach shall be analyzed based on the purpose of valuation, the valuation target, the type of the value, suitability requirements of valuation methods, quality and quantity of reference data adopted under the valuation methods.
The income approach for the valuation of an enterprise refers to the valuation method whereby the value of the valuation target is determined by capitalising or discounting the projected income. The professional asset valuers shall appropriately
– 251 –
APPENDIX VII
SUMMARY OF CCID EXHIBITION VALUATION REPORT 2
take into consideration the suitability of the income approach in reference to the business nature, asset size, historical operations, future profit forecast, and adequacy of information collected for assessment.
The market approach for the valuation of an enterprise refers to the valuation method whereby the value of the valuation target is determined by comparing the valuation target with comparable listed companies or comparable transaction cases. The professional asset valuers shall take into consideration the suitability of the market approach in reference to the adequacy and reliability of business operations and financial data, and comparable enterprises to collated.
The asset-based approach for the valuation of an enterprise refers to the valuation method whereby the value of the valuation target is determined by reasonable valuation of identifiable on- and off-balance sheet assets and liabilities on the basis of the balance sheet of the appraised entity on the Reference Date.
(II) Election of valuation methods
The valuation is carried out for the purpose of the Proposed Capital Increase of CCID Academy for Industry and Information Technology Limited.
As the assets-based method reflects an enterprise’s value by putting business acquisition and construction into perspective, and serves as the basis for enterprise operation, management and assessment after the economic activity, the assets-based method is used for this valuation.
As the appraised entity qualifies for the basis and requirements of continuance, while future profit and risks are predictable and quantifiable, and therefore the income method can be used for this valuation.
Prior to or subsequent to the Reference Date, no case involving equity transfer or acquisition comparable to that of the appraised entity is identified in the market, nor is any comparable listed company with similar business identified. Therefore, the conditions for valuation using the market approach are not available. In this regard, the market approach is not adopted in this valuation.
In conclusion, valuation using the asset-based approach and income approach is adopted in this valuation.
(III) Asset-based approach
The assets-based method is to take the investment amount required for rebuilding an enterprise or an independent profitable entity which is identical to the valuation target at the Reference Date as the basis for judging its overall assets value, that is, the method of calculating an enterprise’s value by adding up the appraisal value of assets which are the various elements that constitute the enterprise and deducting the appraisal value of liabilities.
– 252 –
APPENDIX VII
SUMMARY OF CCID EXHIBITION VALUATION REPORT 2
Set forth below are the valuation methods for various assets and liabilities:
-
Current assets
-
(1) Monetary capital
As regards monetary capital denominated in RMB, valuation is determined based on the verified book value. For monetary capital denominated in foreign currencies, valuation is determined based on the verified amount of the original currency multiplied by the exchange rate as at the Reference Date.
(2) Accounts receivables
For accounts receivables, the valuer, on the basis of verifying the accounts receivables, as well as historical information and those obtained from on-site, analysed the amount, time and reason of the arrears, the recovery status of the accounts receivables, the funds, credit standing, operating and management status of the debtors. The individual identification method is used for determining and assessing the risk losses of the accounts receivables.
The valuer, on the basis of verifying the above receivables, as well as historical information and those obtained from on-site, analysed the amount, time and reason of the arrears, the recovery status of the accounts receivables, the funds, credit standing, operating and management status of the debtors. The individual identification method and aging analysis are used for estimating the risk losses. Where there are reasonable grounds for believing that all borrowings from related-party transactions and incumbent individual employees are recoverable, the risk of losses is assessed to be 0. The risk of losses is assessed at 100%, if there is conclusive evidence that the amount is irrecoverable or overdue; 5% for external units aged 0 to 6 months (including 6 months), 5% for 7 to 12 months (including 12 months), 10% for 1 to 2 years (including 2 years), 30% for 2 to 3 years (including 3 years), 50% for 3 to 4 years (including 4 years), 80% for 4 to 5 years (including 5 years) and 100% for more than 5 years.
Valuation is determined based on the verified book value.
(3) Prepayments
As regards prepayments, the valuer inspected the relevant purchase and payment contracts, understood the status of services received during the period from Reference Date to on-site survey, found no supplier had entered into bankruptcy, cancelled, or failed to make timely delivery of goods and services in accordance with the contract, valuation is determined based on the verified book value.
– 253 –
APPENDIX VII
SUMMARY OF CCID EXHIBITION VALUATION REPORT 2
- (4) Other current assets
In respect of other current assets, the valuer verified the recorded accounting vouchers and the composition of book value, determined the appraised value based on the verified book value.
2. Fixed-assets — equipment assets
For the purpose of this valuation, the replacement cost method was mainly adopted based on the principle of continued use and the market price in combination with the features of the equipment included in the scope of valuation and the information collected.
For the purpose of this valuation, different valuation methods were adopted based on the principle of continued use and the market price in combination with the features of the equipment and the information collected.
In respect of equipment under normal operation, the replacement cost method was mainly adopted to conduct the valuation.
Appraised value = Full replacement cost 6 Newness rate
-
(1) Determination of full replacement cost
-
1) Transportation vehicles
The current tax-included purchase price of transport vehicles is determined according to local vehicle market sales information and other recent vehicle market price data. On this basis, the vehicle purchase tax and new car registration fee, etc. are included in determining the full replacement cost in accordance with the Vehicle Acquisition Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China 《( 中華人民共和 國車輛購置稅法》). Then a VAT deduction is calculated for deduction based on adjusted value-added tax rate in accordance with The Circular on the Policies in relation to Deepening Value-added Tax Reform (No. 39 of 2019 of the Ministry of Finance, State Taxation Administration and General Administration of Customs) jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance, State Taxation Administration and General Administration of Customs. In this valuation, if a transportation vehicle meets the conditions for deduction of value-added tax, its VAT deduction shall be calculated for deduction, and the full replacement cost of the vehicle is:
Full replacement cost = tax-exclusive purchase price + vehicle purchase tax + license fee, etc.
- ① Vehicle purchase price: The vehicle purchase price is determined according to the vehicle market information and recent vehicle market price data from relevant sources, such as
– 254 –
APPENDIX VII
SUMMARY OF CCID EXHIBITION VALUATION REPORT 2
Automobile Quotation Database by pcauto.com, yiche.com, and by referring to the latest market price of similar models in the same location.
-
② Vehicle purchase tax: According to the relevant regulations of the Vehicle Purchase Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (Order No. 294 of 2001 of the State Council) (《中華人民 共和國車輛購置稅法》): taxable amount of vehicle purchase tax = taxable value 6 10%. The ‘‘taxable value of self-use vehicles purchased by taxpayers shall not include value-added tax amount’’. Therefore: purchase surtax = purchase price/(1 +13%) 6 10%.
-
③ New vehicle registration fee, etc.: Determined by the content and amount of such fees in the place where the vehicle is located.
-
2) Electronic equipment
The price of electronic equipment as at the Reference date was determined based on the local market information and recent market price published on Zol.com.cn and PConline.com.cn. Generally, manufacturers will provide free delivery, installation and commissioning. The full replacement cost was then determined as follows:
Full replacement cost = Purchase price (exclusive of tax)
For any electronic equipment which was purchased long time ago, if the model is no longer available in the market but the equipment is still in service, its full replacement cost was determined by reference to prices in the second-hand market.
(2) Determination of newness rate
- 1) Newness rate for transportation vehicles
Pursuant to the relevant requirements of the Provisions on the Standards for Compulsory Retirement of Motor Vehicles (Order [2012] No. 12) promulgated by the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the smaller of the newness ratios as determined below is taken as the final newness ratio of vehicles, i.e.:
Newness ratio of service life = (1 7 Serviced life/Specified or economic service life) 6 100%
– 255 –
APPENDIX VII
SUMMARY OF CCID EXHIBITION VALUATION REPORT 2
Newness ratio of mileage = (1 7 Travelled mileage/Specified mileage) 6 100%
- 2) Newness rate of electronic equipment
Overall newness rate can be determined mainly through its economic service life; the overall newness rate of the large size electronic equipment can be determined with the reference of its work environment and operation of the equipment. The formula is as follows:
Newness rate = remaining useful life/(actual serviced life + remaining useful life) 6 100%
- (3) Determination of appraised value
Appraised value = Full replacement cost 6 Newness rate
3. Deferred income tax assets
The valuer investigated and understood the reasons for the occurrence of deferred income tax assets, inspected relevant accounting regulations for recognizing deferred income tax assets, investigated and understood the cause and forming process of deferred income tax assets, verified whether the amount conforms to the relevant accounting policies of enterprise and tax law. Based on which, determined the appraised value of deferred income tax assets.
4. Liabilities
We checked and verified the actual debtors and amounts of various liabilities after the valuation purpose is fulfilled, and determined the appraised value based on the actual items and amounts of liabilities to be borne by the title owner after the valuation purpose is fulfilled.
(IV) Income approach
1. Introduction
Pursuant to the Asset Valuation Practicing Standards — Enterprise Value, the income approach for valuation of enterprise value, also known as the discounted cash flow method is a method used to estimate the asset value by discounting the future expected net cash flow of the enterprise to the present value. The basic idea of the income approach is to derive the appraised value by estimating the future expected net cash flow of the assets and then discounting it to the present value with an appropriate discount rate. The basic conditions for applying the income approach are: the enterprise has the foundations and conditions to continue as a going concern; there is a stable corresponding relation between the operation and income; and the future income and risk can be forecasted and quantified. The biggest difficulties in using the discounted cash
– 256 –
SUMMARY OF CCID EXHIBITION VALUATION REPORT 2
APPENDIX VII
flow method are the projection of the future expected cash flow, and the objectiveness and reliability of the collection and processing of data. The valuation conclusion is considered to be objective if and when the forecast of future expected cash flow can be relatively objective and fair, and the discount rate adopted is relatively reasonable.
2. Valuation methods
According to the due diligence results and the asset composition and characteristics of principal operations of the appraised entity, in this valuation, the value of the equity capital of the appraised entity was estimated based on the financial statements of its parent company. The basic method of the valuation is as follows:
-
(1) In respect of assets and principal businesses included in the scope of the financial statements, their expected income (net cash flow) are estimated based on the trend of historical operating conditions and the types of businesses, and are discounted to obtain the value of the operating assets;
-
(2) Current assets (liabilities) such as monetary funds, dividends receivable (payable) and non-current assets (liabilities) such as obsolete or idle equipment, house property and construction in progress not recorded in the profit and loss as at the Reference Date that are included in the scope of the financial statements but not taken into account in the forecast of expected income (net cash flow), were defined as surplus or non-operational assets (liabilities) existed as at the Reference Date, and their values were forecasted separately;
-
(3) In respect of long-term equity investments included in the scope of the financial statements but not taken into account in the estimation of expected income (net cash flow), their values were forecasted separately;
-
(4) The enterprise value of the appraised entity was derived by adding up the values of the above assets and liabilities. The value of interest-bearing debts was then deducted from the enterprise value to arrive at the value of the equity capital (total shareholders’ equity) in the appraised entity.
In determining the value of the total shareholders’ equity, neither premium and discount caused by such factors as controlling interest and minority interest, nor impact of liquidity of the equity interests on the valuation conclusions was considered by the valuers.

-
(1) Obtain the value of the operating assets by discounting based on the forecast of net cash flows, i.e. RMB80.7946 million;
-
(2) Calculate the value of surplus or non-operational assets (liabilities) existed as at the Reference Date, i.e. RMB-7.0054 million;
-
(3) Calculate the value of long-term equity investments, i.e. RMB0;
-
(4) The enterprise value of the appraised entity was derived by adding up the value of the operating assets, the surplus or non-operational assets (liabilities) and the long-term equity investments. The value of the interest-bearing debts as at the Reference Date was then deducted from the enterprise value to arrive at the appraised value of the total shareholders’ equity of the appraised entity.
Value of the operating assets (P) = RMB80.7946 million, value of other surplus or non-operational assets existed as at the Reference Date (C)=RMB-7.0054 million and value of long-term equity investments (I)=RMB0. By applying the above values to the formula, the enterprise value of the appraised entity (B) derived=RMB73.7892 million.
Value of interest-bearing debts of the enterprise as at the Reference Date (D)=RMB0, and the value of equity interests of the appraised entity can be derived:
E=B–D=RMB73.79 million (rounded to the nearest hundred)

APPENDIX VII
SUMMARY OF CCID EXHIBITION VALUATION REPORT 2
By adopting the income approach, the valuation conclusion made by the appraised entity as at Reference Date is as follows:
The book value, appraised value and incremental value of the total shareholders’ equity were RMB14,886,900, RMB73,790,000 (rounded to the nearest hundred) and RMB58,902,300, respectively, representing an increase ratio of 395.67%.
(III) Analysis of the differences between the valuation conclusions
In this valuation, the net assets (being the total shareholders’ equity) arrived at by using the income approach was RMB73,790,000 (rounded to the nearest hundred), which was RMB58,888,500 or 395% higher than the appraised value of RMB14,901,500 calculated using the asset-based approach. The major reasons for the difference in outcome under the two valuation methods are set out as follows:
-
The asset-based approach takes the replacement cost of assets as the valuation standard, and reflects the necessary social labor consumed by asset investments (acquisition and construction cost), but such acquisition and construction cost usually changes along with the changes of national economy;
-
The income approach takes the expected incomes of assets as the valuation standard, and reflects the size of the operating capacity (profitability) of assets, but such profitability is usually affected by various conditions, such as the macro economy, governmental control and effective usage of assets.
Therefore, the difference exists between the results of the two valuation methods.
(IV) Selection of valuation conclusions
The asset-based approach accesses the fair market value of assets from the perspective of asset replacement, which can only reflect the value of the assets of an enterprise, but cannot fully and reasonably reflect the comprehensive profitability of the various assets and the growth of an enterprise, and it cannot cover the value of intangible resources such as contracts in force, customer resources and human resources. The asset-based approach only accesses each individual tangible asset and intangible asset, and thus may not fully reflect the contribution of such individual assets combined to the whole company, nor fully measure the synergy arising from the complementary and organic combination of each individual asset. Judging from the asset structure, CCID Exhibition is an asset-light company, so the asset-based approach was not adopted as it cannot fully reflect the value of CCID Exhibition.
The income approach not only considers the assets of an enterprise measured in accordance with accounting principles, but also takes into account the resources effectively owned or controlled by the enterprise which cannot be reflected in the balance sheet, such as contracts in force, customer resources, sales networks, potential projects, enterprise qualifications, human resources and R&D capabilities, the
– 268 –
APPENDIX VII
SUMMARY OF CCID EXHIBITION VALUATION REPORT 2
contribution of which to the enterprise is reflected in the net cash flows of the enterprise. Therefore, the valuation conclusion under the income approach can better reflect the overall growth and profitability of an enterprise.
In addition to tangible resources such as fixed assets, the main value of CCID Exhibition also includes the contribution of important intangible resources such as the extensive management experience, the ability of organizing large-scale professional exhibitions and service experience, and the stable customer resources of the enterprise, which cannot be quantified and reflected in the balance sheet of the target company. The income approach determines the value of the target company by discounting the cash flows generated by the enterprise in the future years, which can reasonably reflect the synergy value produced by the qualifications owned by the enterprise, the operation and management, and business development ability of the management, customer resources and various other factors, therefore, it can reflect the market value of CCID Exhibition more comprehensively and reasonably.
Based on the above, the appraised value of the total shareholders’ equity of Beijing CCID Exhibition Co. Ltd. as at the Reference Date was RMB73,790,000 (rounded to the nearest hundred).
