The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, further details of the Land Acquisition, financial information of the Group, valuation report of the Land and a notice convening the EGM.
TERMINATION OF THE JV AGREEMENT
Subsequent to the entering into of the JV Agreement, the management of the Company have revisited the overall business plan of and resources available to the Group. Having considered the resources available to the Group for the development of the Land and the reasons as set out in the section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Land Acquisition” below, the Company liaised with Chengdu Zhonghe and Sichuan Xiwen for the termination of the JV Agreement.
On 26 May 2010, Vital Chengdu, Chengdu Zhonghe and Sichuan Xiwen entered into the Termination Agreement to terminate the JV Agreement with effect from the date of approval by the Shareholders at the EGM of the Land Acquisition. Upon termination of the JV Agreement, save that the parties to the JV Agreement are entitled to be refunded the capital contributed thereunder, neither of the parties to the JV Agreement shall have any claims against the other parties.
Each of Chengdu Zhonghe and Sichuan Xiwen is a company established under the laws of the PRC and is principally engaged in investment holding.
The Board considers that the termination of the JV Agreement will have no adverse impact on the existing business operations of the Group.
THE LAND ACQUISITION
As disclosed in the JV Announcement, on 6 May 2010, the Agent received the Confirmation Letter from the Bureau confirming the successful bid for the Land at an auction for an aggregate consideration of approximately RMB204.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$233.2 million). The Bureau is a PRC governmental bureau in charge of the management of land resources in Chengdu, the PRC and an independent third party to the Company and its connected persons.
Following the termination of the JV Agreement as disclosed above, the Company will solely invest in the Land Acquisition and the development of the Land through Vital Property. Upon completion of the incorporation of Vital Property, it will enter into the formal Land Grant Contract with the Bureau.
Information of the Land
As disclosed in the JV Announcement, the Land is located in the Wancheng Community, Liucheng Street, Wenjiang District, Chengdu, the PRC (中國成都市溫江區柳城 街辦萬盛社區) with a total site area of approximately 49,595.3 square meters. The Land is designated for integrated residential and commercial use. The terms for the grant of the land use right of the Land for residential use and commercial use are 70 years and 40 years respectively.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Based on the valuation performed by BMI Appraisals Limited (the “Valuer”), an independent professional valuer, the market value of the Land as at 31 May 2010 would be approximately RMB208.0 million assuming, among others, that relevant title documents of the Land have been obtained. As at the date of valuation, the Valuer cannot attribute any commercial value to the land due to the absence of relevant title documents. Details of the valuation are set out in the valuation report contained in Appendix III to this circular.
It is the initial intention of the Company to develop the Land into residential properties with total floor area of approximately 180,000 square metre and commercial properties with total floor area of approximately 20,000–30,000 square metre. The estimated total investment amount for the development project (including Land cost) is approximately HK$992,000,000 (approximately RMB870,000,000), provided that the planned plot ratio is around 4.0. The Company intends to finance the development project by its internal resources and/or bank financing. The development based on the aforementioned initial intention is expected to complete in or around three years time. The development plan is yet to be finalised and thus the final total investment amount may vary. Accordingly, there is no concrete plan for the financing of the investment as at the Latest Practicable Date and the Company shall determine the best financing method as and when appropriate taking into account the then overall financial position of the Group and the market environment.
Consideration and payment terms
The Consideration of approximately RMB204.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$233.2 million) was determined through the auction carried out by the Bureau.
As disclosed in the JV Announcement, the Company has, through the Agent, paid a security deposit of RMB27.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$30.8 million) to the Bureau for the purpose of participating in the auction and approximately RMB1.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2.2 million) as the auction service charge. On 13 May 2010, being the fifth day after the receipt of the Confirmation Letter, 50% of the Consideration as offset by the RMB27.0 million security deposit already paid, which amounted to approximately RMB75.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$85.8 million), was paid to the Bureau in the name of Vital Property in accordance with the relevant terms of the auction set by the Bureau. Pursuant to the relevant terms of the auction set by the Bureau, the remaining balance of the Consideration of approximately RMB102.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$116.6 million) shall be settled in cash in the following manner:
-
(i) as to RMB40.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$46.6 million), being 20% of the Consideration, to be paid within 60 days from 13 May 2010; and
-
(ii) as to RMB61.4 million (equivalent to approximately HK$70.0 million), being the remaining 30% of the Consideration, to be paid within 180 days from 13 May 2010.
The Company intends to finance the Land Acquisition by its internal resources and/or bank financing.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Conditions precedent to completion of the Land Acquisition
Completion of the Land Acquisition is conditional upon the Company having obtained approval by the Shareholders at the EGM in respect of the Land Acquisition and the balance of the Consideration being fully paid by Vital Property according to the payment schedule as set out in the above paragraph headed “Consideration and payment terms”. In the event that the Land Acquisition is not approved by the Shareholders at the EGM, the Termination Agreement will not become effective and the Company will continue its investment in the Land through Vital Property in the form of joint venture pursuant to the JV Agreement.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE LAND ACQUISITION
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group is principally engaged in the research and development, distribution, sale and manufacture of pharmaceutical products.
As mentioned in the JV Announcement, the Directors have been continuing in exploring suitable business opportunities to broaden the revenue base and to diversify the business scope of the Company. The Land Acquisition represents an opportunity to tap into the PRC property market and the Board is of the view that such opportunity would enhance the Shareholders’ value in the long run. Furthermore, the Board is of the view that the Land is of outstanding development potential, given the unique location of the Land, which is surrounded by a number of universities and colleges and with a significant number of teachers, university students and young entrepreneurs.
Taking into account the aforementioned benefits and potential of the Land Acquisition to the Group and the Directors’ assessment of the best utilization of the Group’s resources, the Directors consider it would be in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders for the Company to invest in the Land on a sole basis. The future returns from the development of the Land can be fully consolidated into the accounts of the Group and the Company will have full control and more efficient management over the development of the Land in contrast to that in the form of a joint venture.
FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE LAND ACQUISITION ON THE GROUP
Vital Property, upon incorporation, will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and its financial results will be consolidated in the future financial statements of the Group. Assuming the Land Acquisition had been completed on 31 December 2009, the total assets of the Group would have increased from approximately HK$725.1 million to approximately HK$841.7 million and the total liabilities of the Group would have increased from approximately HK$74.9 million to approximately HK$191.5 million as set out in Appendix II to this circular in respect of the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group.
With the outstanding development potential given the unique location of the Land, the Directors are optimistic that the Land Acquisition and the development of the Land would have a positive impact to the earnings of the Group in the long run.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES
Given certain of the applicable percentage ratios for the Land Acquisition represent 25% or more but less than 100% for the Company, the Land Acquisition constitutes a major transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules. The Land Acquisition is therefore
– 7 –

The Directors Vital Pharmaceutical Holdings Limited
Room 3107, Tower One Lippo Centre No. 89 Queensway Hong Kong
Dear Sirs,
INSTRUCTIONS
We refer to the instructions from Vital Pharmaceutical Holdings Limited (the “Company”) for us to value the property to be held by the Company and/or its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the “Group”) located in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) (the “property”). We confirm that we have conducted an inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the property as at 31 May 2010 (the “date of valuation”).
BASIS OF VALUATION
Our valuation of the property has been based on the Market Value, which is defined as “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
In valuing the property to be held by the Group, we have valued it on an open market basis by the Comparison Approach assuming sale in its existing state with the benefit of vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market. Appropriate adjustments have then been made to account for the differences between the property and the comparables in terms of time, location and other relevant factors.

APPENDIX III
VALUATION REPORT
TITLE INVESTIGATION
We have been provided with copies of title/ legal documents and have been advised by the Group that no further relevant documents have been produced. However, we have not examined the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain the existence of any amendment documents, which may not appear on the copies handed to us. In the course of our valuation, we have relied upon the advice and information given by the Group and its PRC legal adviser, regarding the title of the property. All documents have been used for reference only.
In valuing the property, we have relied on the advice given by the Group that the owner of the property has valid and enforceable title to the property which is freely transferable, and has free and uninterrupted right to use the same, for the whole of the unexpired term granted subject to the payment of annual government rent/land use fees and all requisite land premium/purchase consideration payable have been fully settled.
VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS
Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the property is sold in the market without the benefit of deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any other similar arrangement which would serve to affect the value of the property.
In addition, no account has been taken of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sale of the property and no forced sale situation in any manner is assumed in our valuation.
VALUATION CONSIDERATIONS
We have carried out an on-site inspection of the property within the attached valuation certificate. However, no tests or investigations are carried out to determine stability or suitability of ground conditions or factors, such as archaeological artifacts, contamination, ecological or environmental considerations, which could delay any development on the property. Unless otherwise informed, we have assumed that the site is sound and no delays will occur in a construction schedule due to considerations relating to the site, and that the ground is not contaminated.
In the course of our valuation, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenures, particulars of occupancy, site areas, identification of the property and other relevant information.
Except otherwise stated, dimensions, measurements and site areas included in the valuation certificate are based on information contained in the leases and other documents provided to us and are therefore only approximations.
We have not carried out detailed on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the site areas in respect of the property but have assumed that the site areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct.
– 18 –
APPENDIX III
VALUATION REPORT
We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group and we have relied on your confirmation that no material facts have been omitted from the information so supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information for us to reach an informed view.
No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property or for any expenses or taxation, which may be incurred in effecting a sale or purchase.
Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect its value.
Our valuation has been prepared in accordance with the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.
Our valuation has been prepared under the generally accepted valuation procedures and is in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
REMARKS
We hereby certify that we neither have any present nor any prospective interest in the Group or the appraised property or the value reported.
