PROPOSED DISPOSAL AND CAPITAL INCREASE

Given that Chanjet Payment has continued to record loss since its establishment in July 2013, in particular, it recorded a loss of approximately RMB18,936,329 for 2014 and a loss of approximately RMB31,719,717 for 2015, and it is expected that it will continue to record loss for 2016. Therefore, in order for the Group to optimize its asset quality and to improve its profitability, (i) the Company and Yonyou entered into the Disposal Agreement on 21 October 2016, pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to sell and Yonyou has conditionally agreed to acquire, the Sale Interest, representing 55.82% of the equity interest in Chanjet Payment at the Consideration of RMB195,560,849; and (ii) the Company, Yonyou and Chanjet Payment entered into the Capital Increase Agreement on 21 October 2016, pursuant to which, Yonyou has conditionally agreed to make a capital contribution to Chanjet Payment unilaterally in the amount of RMB100,000,000, among which, RMB57,087,091 shall be contributed to the registered capital of Chanjet Payment and the remaining RMB42,912,909 shall be contributed to the capital reserve of Chanjet Payment.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, Chanjet Payment was owned by the Company and Yonyou as to 75.1% and 24.9%, respectively. Upon completion of the Disposal and the Capital Increase, Chanjet Payment, whose registered capital will be increased from RMB200,000,000 to RMB257,087,091, will be owned by the Company and Yonyou as to approximately 15% and 85%, respectively and it will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.

(1) The Disposal Agreement

The principal terms of the Disposal Agreement are set out below:

Date

  • 21 October 2016

– 2 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Parties

  • (i) The Company; and

  • (ii) Yonyou

Subject Matter

Pursuant to the Disposal Agreement, the Company has conditionally agreed to sell, and Yonyou has conditionally agreed to acquire, the Sale Interest, representing 55.82% of the equity interest in Chanjet Payment at the Consideration of RMB195,560,849.

The Consideration and the Payment

The Consideration for the Disposal is RMB195,560,849 in cash, which shall be payable in full by Yonyou to the designated bank account of the Company within ten (10) business days upon the approvals of all relevant regulatory authorities on the Disposal having been obtained and all conditions precedent, the details of which are set out in the paragraph headed “– Conditions Precedent” below, having been satisfied.

Basis of Determination of the Consideration

The Consideration was agreed between the Company as the vendor and Yonyou as the purchaser after arm’s length negotiations and on normal commercial terms with reference to, among other things, (i) the financial information of Chanjet Payment, the details of which are set out in the paragraph headed “– (3) Financial Information of Chanjet Payment” below; (ii) the fair value of approximately RMB350,341,900 of Chanjet Payment as of 31 August 2016, which was appraised by Beijing Jingwei Dong Yuan Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. (北京經緯東元資產評估有限公司), an independent valuer; and (iii) the 55.82% equity interest in Chanjet Payment, which was proposed to be disposed by the Company to Yonyou pursuant to the Disposal Agreement. No control premium was built into the Consideration after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and Yonyou taking into consideration including, among others, the loss-making financial situation of Chanjet Payment and the Valuation of the fair value of Chanjet Payment. Further, Yonyou has more resources to develop Chanjet Payment, and by retaining 15% of the equity interest in Chanjet Payment after the Disposal and the Capital Increase, the Company could also benefit from the future growth of Chanjet Payment if Chanjet Payment becomes profitable in the future. Therefore, the Directors are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable although no control premium was built into the Consideration.

The principal assumptions and the bases of preparation of the Valuation are set out in Appendix I attached hereto.

(3) Financial Information of Chanjet Payment

According to the unaudited financial information of Chanjet Payment, the value of total assets and net assets of Chanjet Payment as of 30 June 2016 was RMB170,749,116.38 and RMB131,847,208.47, respectively.

Set out below is the revenue and net loss (before and after taxation) of Chanjet Payment for the six months ended 30 June 2016 and for the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015:

For the six months For the year ended For the year ended
Item ended 30 June 2016 31 December 2015 31 December 2014
(unaudited) (audited) (audited)
RMB RMB RMB
Revenue 3,625,814.58 8,955,795.66 5,127,514.25
Net loss before taxation 15,607,213.06 31,719,716.92 18,936,328.51

Note: the financial information set out above has been prepared by Chanjet Payment in accordance with China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises.

Chanjet Payment recorded net loss for the six months ended 30 June 2016 and for the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, respectively, mainly due to its large costs in research and development, business operation, risk management and maintenance, whereas Chanjet Payment, as a newly developed company engaged in payment service business, who has obtained its payment service licence only in July 2014 and was thus entitled to providing internet payment service and bank card acquiring service as a non-financial institution thereafter, has limited ability to generate sufficient revenue to cover its operation costs at its initial stage of development. For the same reasons, Chanjet Payment is expected to continue to record net loss in the near future. According to the Valuation Report, the summary of which is set out in Appendix II of this circular, it is forecasted that Chanjet Payment will record net loss for the years ending 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2017.

(5) Financial Effects of the Disposal and the Capital Increase and Use of Proceeds

After completion of the Disposal Agreement and the Capital Increase Agreement, Chanjet Payment will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company, and its financial results, assets and liabilities will no longer be consolidated in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Instead, the remaining 15% investment by the Company in Chanjet Payment will be treated as the investment in an associate in the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group. After completion of the Disposal and the Capital Increase, among the five directors of Chanjet Payment, the Company will continue to retain one director on the board of directors of Chanjet Payment. Despite that after the completion of the Disposal and the Capital Increase, the Company will have less than 20% shareholding interest and voting power in Chanjet Payment, the Company will still be able to exercise significant influence through both its shareholding in Chanjet Payment and the active participation of its nominated director on the board of directors of Chanjet Payment.

The profit from the Disposal and the Capital Increase shall be calculated with reference to the relevant financial information at the time of completion of the Disposal and the Capital Increase and the exact time of completion is not currently ascertainable. Based on the formula and assumptions as set out below, the Group is expected to record an unaudited profit of approximately RMB179.24 million as a result of the Disposal and the Capital Increase.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The unaudited profit of the Disposal is calculated based on the following formula:

unaudited = Consideration of + fair value of the – the expected net x the shareholding profit of the the Disposal[1] remaining asset value percentage Disposal shareholding of Chanjet in Chanjet in Chanjet Payment at Payment by Payment by the the time of the the Company Company after Disposal[3] before the the Disposal Disposal but before the Capital Increase[2]

The unaudited profit of the Capital Increase is calculated based on the following formula:

unaudited profit = total amount of x the shareholding – fair value of x (shareholding – shareholding of the Capital capital to be percentage Chanjet percentage percentage Increase contributed in Chanjet Payment at in Chanjet in Chanjet by Yonyou Payment by the time of Payment by the Payment by to Chanjet the Company the Capital Company after the Company Payment[4] after the Capital Increase[5] the Disposal but after the Capital Increase before Capital Increase) Increase

Notes:

  1. The Consideration of the Disposal is approximately RMB195.56 million;

  2. The fair value of the remaining shareholding in Chanjet Payment by the Company after the Disposal but before the Capital Increase is approximately RMB67.55 million, which is arrived at by multiplying the fair value of Chanjet Payment of approximately RMB350.34 million as at 31 August 2016 as appraised by Beijing Jingwei Dong Yuan Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. by the remaining 19.28% shareholding in Chanjet Payment by the Company;

  3. The expected net asset value of Chanjet Payment at the time of the Disposal is estimated with reference to the expected net asset value of Chanjet Payment as at 31 December 2016, which is approximately RMB111.68 million. Subject to various conditions precedent of the Disposal, including but not limited to, the approvals of the Disposal by the Shareholders at the EGM and the approvals from relevant authorities having been obtained, the Disposal is expected to complete by the first quarter of 2017. Given that the net asset value of Chanjet Payment as at 31 December 2016 is the sum that is capable of being estimated and as at a point of time closest to the time of completion of the Disposal, it will better reflect the net asset value of Chanjet Payment as at the time of completion of the Disposal as compared to the historical net asset value of Chanjet Payment. Nevertheless, the actual profit of the Disposal shall be determined with reference to, among others, the net asset value of Chanjet Payment as at the actual time of completion of the Disposal;

  4. The total amount of capital to be contributed by Yonyou to Chanjet Payment amounts to RMB100.00 million;

  5. The fair value of Chanjet Payment at the time of the Capital Increase is estimated with reference to the fair value of Chanjet Payment as at 31 August 2016 of approximately RMB350.34 million as appraised by Beijing Jingwei Dong Yuan Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd., which is the fair value that is capable of being estimated and as at a point of time closest to the time of the Capital Increase. Nevertheless, the actual profit of the Capital Increase shall be determined with reference to, among others, the fair value of Chanjet Payment as at the actual time of the Capital Increase.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The net proceeds from the Disposal and the Capital Increase is expected to be approximately RMB182.37 million after deducting the relevant expenses, among which, 70% of the net proceeds is intended to be used for development of software and cloud service business of the Group and 30% of the net proceeds is intended to be used for general working capital of the Group.

The aforementioned financial effects are for illustrative purposes only. Given that the completion of the Disposal and the Capital Increase is conditional upon the fulfillment of the relevant conditions precedent set out herein, the actual profit from the Disposal and the Capital Increase will be determined after being reviewed by the auditors of the Company upon the completion of such matters.

(6) Reasons for and Benefits of the Disposal Agreement and the Capital Increase Agreement

  • (i) The payment service industry in the PRC is highly competitive, regulated and restricted and is dominated by several market pioneers. Since its establishment in July 2013, Chanjet Payment has recorded an aggregate loss of RMB68.93 million as of 30 June 2016. According to the Valuation Report, which is subject to a number of assumptions as more particularly set out in Appendix I of this circular, including but not limited to, continuous operation and maintenance of current market competitiveness of Chanjet Payment, which requires continuous capital contribution and support, it is forecasted that Chanjet Payment will start to record net profit from 2018 and onward. However, development of payment service business, especially at its initial stage, requires large amount of capital contribution and support to maintain its continuing operation and development, which would be demanding and burdensome for the Group. Hence, the Disposal and the Capital Increase could help to release the financial pressure of the Company;

  • (ii) The net proceeds from the Disposal and the Capital Increase is expected to be approximately RMB182.37 million after deducting the relevant expenses. The Company will benefit from the increased cash from the proceeds of the Disposal and the Capital Increase by optimizing its asset structure and focusing more resources on developing software and cloud service business;

  • (iii) Based on the aforementioned analysis on the financial effects of the Disposal and the Capital Increase and use of proceeds, it is expected that the Company will record an unaudited profit of RMB179.24 million upon completion of the Disposal and the Capital increase (the actual profit will be determined after being reviewed by the auditors of the Company upon the completion of such matters);

  • (iv) It would be time-consuming and costly for the Group to manage and develop payment service business given that the Group has been mainly engaged and devoted in the business of providing financial and management services for MSEs, which is a different type of business from the payment service business;

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (v) After the Disposal and the Capital Increase, by retaining 15% equity interest in Chanjet Payment, the Company could better maintain its strategic relationship and develop business cooperation with Chanjet Payment in relation to, inter alia, incorporation of value-added payment services to be provided by Chanjet Payment such as offline acquiring, mobile payment and Internet payment into the software products provided by the Company to MSEs, which could enhance the market competitiveness of the software products of the Company; and

  • (vi) After the Disposal and the Capital Increase, Yonyou, which is larger in scale and has more financial resources than the Company, could provide more support to Chanjet Payment in terms of, among other things, brand, market channel, technology and financial resources. If Chanjet Payment becomes profitable in the future, the Company could also benefit from the future appreciation in the equity interest of Chanjet Payment after the Disposal and Capital Increase by retaining 15% equity interest in Chanjet Payment.

Based on the aforementioned, the Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will give their recommendation after taking into consideration the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) are of the view that although the Disposal and the Capital Increase are not in the ordinary course of business of the Company, the Disposal Agreement and the Capital Increase Agreement have been entered into on normal commercial terms, are fair and reasonable and are in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

(7) Listing Rules Implications

Yonyou is the controlling Shareholder of the Company and is therefore a connected person of the Company as defined under Rule 14A.07 of the Listing Rules. Chanjet Payment, which is owned by Yonyou and the Company as to 24.9% and 75.1%, respectively, as of the Latest Practicable Date, is a connected person of the Company as defined under Rule 14A.07 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Disposal and Capital Increase constitute connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14A.81 of the Listing Rules, the transactions contemplated under the Disposal Agreement and the Capital Increase Agreement shall be aggregated. After such aggregation, one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Disposal Agreement and the Capital Increase Agreement exceed 5%, and thus, the Disposal Agreement, the Capital Increase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In addition, the Disposal and the Capital Increase constitute a disposal of subsidiary of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules, the transactions contemplated under the Disposal Agreement and the Capital Increase Agreement shall be aggregated. After such aggregation, one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Disposal Agreement and the Capital Increase Agreement exceed 5% but are less than 25%, and thus, the transactions contemplated thereunder also constitute a discloseable transaction of the Company under Rule 14.06 of the Listing Rules.

Our Directors, Mr. Wang Wenjing, Mr. Wu Zhengping and Mr. Zeng Zhiyong, who are also directors or senior management members of Yonyou or its subsidiaries, are deemed to have material interests in the Disposal Agreement, the Capital Increase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and have abstained from voting on the relevant resolutions of the Board approving the Disposal Agreement, the Capital Increase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Save as disclosed above, none of other Directors has any material interest in such transactions and is required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolutions of the Board.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, and having made all reasonable enquiries, other than the above disclosure, there is no other transaction which has to be aggregated with the transactions contemplated under the Disposal Agreement and the Capital Increase Agreement as required under Rule 14.22 or Rule 14A.81 of the Listing Rules.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT AND THE CONFIRMATION

(1) The Non-Competition Agreement and the Confirmation

Yonyou, Mr. Wang Wenjing and the Company entered into the Non-Competition Agreement on 17 February 2014, pursuant to which, Yonyou and Mr. Wang Wenjing undertook, among other things, that they would not and would use their best endeavors to procure their respective associates (except for any member of the Group) not to, directly or indirectly, at any time during the relevant period (as defined in the Prospectus), carry on, engage in, invest in, participate in, attempt to participate in, render any services to, provide any financial support to or otherwise be involved in or interested in, whether alone or jointly with another person and whether directly or indirectly or on behalf of or to assist or act in concert with any other person, any business which is the same as, similar to or in competition or will compete or may compete with, directly or indirectly, the Restricted Business.

Further, Yonyou issued to the Company the Confirmation on 11 April 2014, pursuant to which, Yonyou undertook, among other things, that:

  • (i) neither of Yonyou or any of its associates (other than through the Company) is or will, directly or indirectly, engage in, operate or participate in any business that provides public cloud platforms or cloud services to MSEs; and

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) neither of Yonyou or any of its associates (other than through the Company and its subsidiary, Chanjet Payment) is or will, directly or indirectly, engage, operate or participate in any business that competes or may compete with the payment services of non-financial institutions as defined under the Measures for the Administration of Payment Services of Non-Financial Institutions (《非金融機構支付服務管理辦法》, as amended from time to time).

(2) Backgrounds of the Proposed Amendments

Upon completion of the Disposal Agreement and the Capital Increase Agreement, the details of which are set out above, Yonyou and its associates will directly or indirectly engage, operate or participate in payment service business through Chanjet Payment and may thus constitute continuing breaches of the Non-Competition Agreement and the Confirmation. Given that the Company proposed to transfer the controlling shareholding in Chanjet Payment to Yonyou pursuant to the Disposal Agreement and the Capital Increase Agreement and that Yonyou and/ or its subsidiaries will engage in and operate payment service business upon the completion of the Disposal Agreement and the Capital Increase Agreement, the Company, Yonyou and Mr. Wang Wenjing proposed to enter into the Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement and the Confirmation shall be amended to the effect that payment service business shall be excluded from the Restricted Business under the Non-Competition Agreement and the relevant undertakings made by Yonyou under the Confirmation.

In considering these proposals, the Board (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will give their recommendation after taking into consideration the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) took into account a number of factors, including:

  • (i) that the principal business of the Company will no longer involve payment service business upon completion of the Disposal Agreement and the Capital Increase Agreement;

  • (ii) it would be impractical for Yonyou and Mr. Wang Wenjing to continue to comply with the original scope of the Restricted Business under the Non-Competition Agreement and the original undertakings in respect of the payment service business under the Confirmation, as the case may be, given that Chanjet Payment, which is principally engaged in payment service business, will become a non-wholly owned subsidiary of Yonyou;

  • (iii) the estimated time and costs required to be incurred by the management of the Company in monitoring the compliance with, and periodically reporting on, the non-competition restrictions in respect of an area of business which is no longer directly engaged by the Group;

– 14 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iv) the Company will continue to benefit from the other protections provided under the Non-Competition Agreement (as supplemented by the Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement) and the Amended Confirmation, pursuant to which, Yonyou and Mr. Wang Wenjing and their respective associates will still be obliged to, inter alia, not to directly or indirectly, carry on or engage or be interested in the Restricted Business (other than the payment service business).

(3) The Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement and the Amended Confirmation

Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement

Yonyou, Mr. Wang Wenjing and the Company entered into the Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement on 21 October 2016, pursuant to which, the payment service business shall be excluded from the scope of Restricted Business under the Non-Competition Agreement.

The details of the abovementioned amendments are set out below:

Clause 1 (1 .1) – Definition of “Restricted Business”

Which originally read as:

“any business carried on or contemplated to be carried on by any member of the Group from time to time, namely, providing management software and services targeting MSEs, including but not limited to providing MSEs with accounting and business management tools to improve their business and developing public cloud platforms for such MSEs”

is proposed to be amended as follows:

“any business (other than the payment service business as defined under the Measures for the Administration of Payment Services of Non-Financial Institutions, as amended from time to time) carried on or contemplated to be carried on by any member of the Group from time to time, namely, providing management software and services targeting MSEs, including but not limited to providing MSEs with accounting and business management tools to improve their business and developing public cloud platforms for such MSEs”

The Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement is conditional upon, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM.

– 15 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Amended Confirmation

Further, Yonyou amended the Confirmation on 21 October 2016 to the effect that payment service business shall be excluded from the relevant undertakings made by Yonyou under the Confirmation.

The relevant part of the abovementioned amendments are set out below:

The Relevant Undertakings Made by Yonyou under the Confirmation

Which originally read as:

“Yonyou undertakes that in respect of the cloud service business, neither of Yonyou or any of its associates (other than through the Company) is or will, directly or indirectly, engage, operate or participate in any business that provides public cloud platforms and cloud services to MSEs.

Yonyou undertakes that neither of Yonyou or any of its associates (other than through the Company and its subsidiary, i.e. Chanjet Payment) is or will, directly or indirectly, engage, operate or participate in any business that competes or may compete with the payment services of non-financial institutions as defined under the Measures for the Administration of Payment Services of Non-Financial Institutions, as amended from time to time.”

Is proposed to be amended as follows:

“Yonyou undertakes that in respect of the cloud service business, neither of Yonyou or any of its associates (other than through the Company) is or will, directly or indirectly, engage, operate or participate in any business that provides public cloud platforms and cloud services to MSEs.”

The Amended Confirmation is conditional upon, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM.

(4) Reasons for and Benefits of the Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement and the Amended Confirmation

In light of the reasons stated in the section headed “– (2) Backgrounds of the Proposed Amendments” above, subject to the approvals of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM and completion of the proposed Disposal and the Capital Increase, the Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will give their recommendation after taking into consideration the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) consider that although the Proposed Amendments are not in the ordinary course of business of the Company, the Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement and the Amended Confirmation are entered into on normal commercial terms, are fair and reasonable and are in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

– 16 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(5) Listing Rules Implications

As both Yonyou and Mr. Wang Wenjing are controlling Shareholders of the Company, the Proposed Amendments to the Non-Competition Agreement and the Confirmation constitute connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules which are subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.

Our Directors, Mr. Wang Wenjing, Mr. Wu Zhengping and Mr. Zeng Zhiyong, who are also directors or senior management members of Yonyou or its subsidiaries, are deemed to have material interests in the Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement and the Amended Confirmation, and have abstained from voting on the relevant resolution of the Board approving the Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement and the Amended Confirmation.

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT CAPITAL

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of Chanjet Information Technology Company Limited

Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) DISCLOSEABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS PROPOSED DISPOSAL AND CAPITAL INCREASE (2) CONNECTED TRANSACTION PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT AND THE CONFIRMATION

I . INTRODUCTION

We refer to our engagement as the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to (i) the Proposed Disposal and the Capital Increase; and (ii) the Proposed Amendments to the Non-Competition Agreement and the Confirmation (“ Proposed Amendments ”), details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the “ Letter from the Board ”) contained in this circular (the “ Circular ”) dated 11 November 2016 issued by the Company, of which this letter forms part. Terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

Reference is made to the announcement (“ Announcement ”) of the Company dated 21 October 2016, in relation to, among other things, (i) the Disposal Agreement entered into by the Company and Yonyou on 21 October 2016, pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to sell and Yonyou has conditionally agreed to acquire, the Sale Interest, representing 55.82% of the equity interest in Chanjet Payment, at the Consideration of RMB195,560,849; and (ii) the Capital Increase Agreement entered into between the Company, Yonyou and Chanjet Payment on 21 October 2016, pursuant to which, Yonyou has conditionally agreed to make a capital contribution to Chanjet Payment unilaterally in the amount of RMB100,000,000, among which, RMB57,087,091 shall be contributed to the registered capital of Chanjet Payment and the remaining RMB42,912,909 shall be contributed to the capital reserve of Chanjet Payment.

– 22 –

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT CAPITAL

As stated in the Letter from the Board, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Chanjet Payment is owned by the Company and Yonyou as to 75.1% and 24.9%, respectively. Upon completion of the Proposed Disposal and Capital Increase, Chanjet Payment, whose registered capital will be increased from RMB200,000,000 to RMB257,087,091, will be owned by the Company and Yonyou as to approximately 15.0% and 85.0%, respectively and it will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.

Yonyou is the controlling Shareholder of the Company and is therefore a connected person of the Company as defined under Rule 14A.07 of the Listing Rules. Chanjet Payment, which is owned by the Company and Yonyou as to 75.1% and 24.9%, respectively, as of the Latest Practicable Date, is a connected person of the Company as defined under Rule 14A.07 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Proposed Disposal and the Capital Increase constitutes connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Since one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Disposal Agreement and Capital Increase Agreement, when aggregated, exceed 5%, the Disposal Agreement and Capital Increase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are subject to, among other things, the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Reference is also made to the Announcement, in relation to, among other things, the Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement and the Amended Confirmation entered into by Yonyou, Mr. Wang Wenjing and the Company on 21 October 2016, pursuant to which, the payment service business shall be excluded from the Restricted Business under the Non-Competition Agreement and the relevant undertakings made by Yonyou under the Confirmation.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all of the three independent non-executive Directors, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders in relation to (i) the Proposed Disposal and the Capital Increase; and (ii) the Proposed Amendments. We, China Everbright Capital, have been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

Apart from normal professional fees for our services to the Company in connection with the engagement described above, no arrangement exists whereby we will receive any fees and benefits from the Group, Yonyou or any of their respective associates. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were no relationships or interests between (a) China Everbright Capital and (b) the Group, Yonyou or any of their respective associates that could reasonably be regarded as a hindrance to our independence as defined under Rule 13.84 of the Listing Rules to act as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of (i) the Proposed Disposal and Capital Increase; and (ii) the Proposed Amendments as detailed in the Circular.

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT CAPITAL

Below is a brief analysis on the financial performances during the Track Record Period of the Group.

  • i. The Group recorded a revenue of approximately RMB233.65 million for the first half of 2016, representing an increase of approximately 23.0% as compared with the same period in 2015, of which the revenues generated from sales of software and rendering of services increased by approximately 22.0% and 41.0%, respectively. Among the revenue generated from rendering of services, the revenue generated from cloud service business was approximately RMB4.07 million, representing an increase of approximately 489.0% as compared with the same period of last year; and the revenue generated from payment service business was approximately RMB3.62 million, representing a mere increase of approximately 6.0% as compared with the same period of last year;

  • ii.

The revenue growth was mainly due to the increase in service revenue, including the service income generated from cloud service business and payment service business, which increased by approximately 1,139.0% and 108.0% respectively;

  • iii. As shown above, in terms of revenue, the service income contributed from the cloud service business increased more significantly during the Track Record Period compared to that of payment service business;

Commencing from 10 July 2014, Chanjet Payment was entitled to providing (i) internet payment service and (ii) bank card acquiring service nationwide as a non-financial institution.

Set out below are the key financial figures of Chanjet Payment extracted from Chanjet Payment 2015 Financial Statements and Chanjet Payment 2016 Interim Financial Statements, which were prepared in accordance with the China Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises:

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT CAPITAL

With reference to the financial position of Yonyou as at 31 December 2014 and 2015 and 30 June 2016, the net assets for the respective dates of Yonyou, with over RMB4.39 billion, were consistently higher than that of the Group, with less than RMB1.30 billion. As such, it implies that Yonyou is larger in scale and can offer more financial resources to Chanjet Payment than that of the Group.

Background of Mr. Wang Wenjing

Mr. Wang Wenjing is the ultimate controlling Shareholder of the Company, a non-executive Director and chairman of the Board. He is also one of the covenanters under the Non-Competition Agreement and the Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement.

(B) Reasons for and benefits of Proposed Disposal and Capital Increase

As advised by the Management and discussed in this Letter from the Board, we noted that the following reasons for and benefits of entering into the Disposal Agreement and Capital Increase Agreement:

  • (i) The payment service industry in the PRC is highly competitive, regulated and restricted and is dominated by several market pioneers. Since its establishment in July 2013, Chanjet Payment has recorded an aggregate loss of RMB68.93 million as of 30 June 2016. According to the Valuation Report, which is subject to a number of assumptions as more particularly set out in Appendix I of this circular, including but not limited to, continuous operation and maintenance of current market competitiveness of Chanjet Payment, which requires continuous capital contribution and support, it is forecasted that Chanjet Payment will start to record net profit from 2018 and onward. However, development of payment service business, especially at its initial stage, requires large amount of capital contribution and support to maintain its continuing operation and development, which would be demanding and burdensome for the Group. Hence, the Disposal and the Capital Increase could help to release the financial pressure of the Company;

  • (ii) The net proceeds from the Disposal and the Capital Increase is expected to be approximately RMB182.37 million after deducting the relevant expenses. The Company will benefit from the increased cash from the proceeds of the Disposal and the Capital Increase by optimizing its asset structure and focusing more resources on developing software and cloud service business;

  • (iii) Based on the aforementioned analysis on the financial effects of the Disposal and the Capital Increase and use of proceeds, it is expected that the Company will record an unaudited profit of RMB179.24 million upon completion of the Disposal and the Capital increase (the actual profit will be determined after being reviewed by the auditors of the Company upon the completion of such matters);

– 28 –

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT CAPITAL

  • (iv) It would be time-consuming and costly for the Group to manage and develop payment service business given that the Group has been mainly engaged and devoted in the business of providing financial and management services for MSEs, which is a different type of business from the payment service business;

  • (v) After the Disposal and the Capital Increase, by retaining 15% equity interest in Chanjet Payment, the Company could better maintain its strategic relationship and develop business cooperation with Chanjet Payment in relation to, inter alia, incorporation of value-added payment services to be provided by Chanjet Payment such as offline acquiring, mobile payment and Internet payment into the software products provided by the Company to MSEs, which could enhance the market competitiveness of the software products of the Company; and

  • (vi) After the Disposal and the Capital Increase, Yonyou, which is larger in scale and has more financial resources than the Company, could provide more support to Chanjet Payment in terms of, among other things, brand, market channel, technology and financial resources. If Chanjet Payment becomes profitable in the future, the Company could also benefit from the future appreciation in the equity interest of Chanjet Payment after the Disposal and Capital Increase by retaining 15% equity interest in Chanjet Payment.

In addition to the above, we have also considered the following factors:

  • i. As demonstrated in the section headed “Background of Chanjet Payment”, payment services business continuously generated losses during the Track Record Period;

  • ii. Based on our review of the Group’s 2016 Interim Report and management record, the Group has focused its efforts in R&D and operation spending on cloud services business. As per our discussion with the Management, they expect to continue contributing more R&D and operating expenses in cloud service business. We also noted that R&D costs in cloud services business represented approximately 43.0% in the first half of 2015 and approximately 60.0% in the first half of 2016. The growth in R&D costs on cloud service business in the first half of 2016 increased by approximately 69.4% from approximately RMB28.39 million in the first half of 2015 to approximately RMB48.08 million for the same period in 2016. Although the Company has increased R&D costs on cloud service business during the Track Record Period, the Management expected that the R&D costs that contributed to cloud service business will remain stable in the coming years. The Company will divert more of its funding to cover the increasing expense in operating, promotion and maintenance of cloud service business as the Company aims to maintain its leading position in the cloud service business market;

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT CAPITAL

  • iii. Upon the completion, the Group will receive in cash of approximately RMB195.56 million, or a net proceeds of approximately RMB182.37 million after deducting relevant expenses, which would have a positive impact on the Group’s cash flow and liquidity, the net proceeds is intended to be used for the development of software and cloud business of the Group and/ or general working capital of the Group;

  • iv. The Group would record a gain of approximately RMB179.24 million. Such gain is estimated based on the Consideration of the Proposed Disposal and Capital Increase, the fair value of Chanjet Payment as at 31 August 2016 (“ Valuation Date ”) and the expected unaudited net asset book value of Chanjet Payment as of 31 December 2016, which would have a positive impact on the Group’s profitability;

  • v. We have discussed with the Management and reviewed relevant internal management record and understand that third party payment service business has been a low margin business for the Group, except for several market pioneers, which have successfully dominated the market. Chanjet Payment started to engage in this business since 2013. As most of the customers have already been captured by other payment companies since 2011, Chanjet Payment has to put in more efforts to secure its market shares;

  • vi. the PRC government has issued more stringent regulation requirements in 2015 and the first half of 2016, such as “The Notice on the improving the pricing mechanism of bank card handling fee” (關於完善銀行卡手續費定價機制的通知) jointly promulgated by China National Development and Reform Commission (中華人民共和國國家發展和改革委員 會) and the People’s Bank of China (中國人民銀行) in 2016 to lower the handling fee charged by the operators. Amid the fierce competition in the market and the recent stringent regulatory requirements, it has become increasingly more difficult for Chanjet Payment to improve its profitability;

  • vii. In view of the fact that (i) Yonyou owns the largest distributor and service network of management software in China with a larger customer base of over 2 million customers in different industries according to the 2015 Annual Reports of Yonyou; and (ii) Yonyou is larger in scale by having significantly more net assets as at 30 June 2016 compared to that of the Group. Youyou is able to provide more financial resources and other support such as large and medium scale enterprises customer base to Chanjet Payment for its development;

  • viii. Upon the completion of the Proposed Disposal and Capital Increase, the Company will retain 15.0% equity interest in Chanjet Payment. Despite the loss making track record, the Management is of the view that there will still be synergies between the Group’s software products and payment services of Chanjet Payment, for example, incorporation of value-added payment services to be provided by Chanjet Payment such as offline acquiring, mobile payment and Internet payment into the software products provided by the Company to MSEs; and

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT CAPITAL

  • ix. The Directors considered that the Proposed Disposal and Capital Increase are not in the ordinary course of business of the Company.

Therefore, we are of the view that the Proposed Disposal and Capital Increase, although not in the ordinary course of business in the Company, are fair and reasonable and were entered into in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(C) Principal terms of the Disposal Agreement and Capital increase Agreement

1. Principal terms in relation to the Disposal Agreement

The Consideration and the Payment

The consideration for the Proposed Disposal (“ Consideration ”) is RMB195,560,849, which shall be payable in full by Yonyou to the designated bank account of the Company within ten (10) business days upon the approvals of all relevant authorities on the Proposed Disposal having been obtained and all conditions precedent. We also noted that the Consideration was 55.82% of the fair value of RMB350.34 million of Chanjet Payment as at the Valuation Date stated on the Valuation Report.

Basis of Determination of the Consideration

As illustrated in the Letter of the Board, the Consideration was determined with reference to the agreed price between the Company as the vendor and Yonyou as the purchaser after arm’s length negotiations and on normal commercial terms with reference to, among other things, (i) the financial information of Chanjet Payment; (ii) the fair value of approximately RMB350,341,900 of Chanjet Payment, as specified by the Valuation Report; and (iii) the 55.82% equity interest in Chanjet Payment proposed to be disposed by the Company to Yonyou pursuant to the Disposal Agreement.

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration, we have reviewed and taken into account of (i) the Disposal Agreement; (ii) historical price to revenue multiple analysis; (iii) the Valuation Report; and (iv) no control premium built in the Consideration is fair and reasonable as (a) the Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and Yonyou taking into consideration including, among others, the loss-making financial situation of Chanjet Payment and the Valuation of the fair value of Chanjet Payment, and (b) Yonyou has more resources to develop Chanjet Payment, and by retaining 15.0% equity interest in Chanjet Payment after the Proposed Disposal and Capital Increase, the Company could benefit from the potential future growth of Chanjet Payment.

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT CAPITAL

(a) Historical price to revenue multiple (“ PRR ”) analysis

As Chanjet Payment incurred losses during the Track Record Period, historical price to earnings multiples for the Proposed Disposal cannot be calculated. In addition, we have also considered to use the price to book value multiples for analyzing the Proposed Disposal, however, as the third party payment industry is an assetlight industry, the comparison will not be meaningful. Due to the past performance of Chanjet Payment as set out in the paragraph headed “Background of Chanjet Payment” of this letter, we consider that it is appropriate to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the consideration for the Proposed Disposal by reference to their respective PRR on the basis that the multiple is useful as Chanjet Payment has revenue but is not yet profitable.

In evaluating the Consideration, we have also searched all comparable companies listed on the Main Board and GEM Board of the Stock Exchange (the “ Comparable Companies ”) which are (i) principally engaged in third party payment business, (ii) the balance of the net assets was less than RMB3.00 billion by reference to their latest published interim or annual report and (iii) hold the Payment Clearance Operator License with at least one common entitled businesses, (a) internet payment service or (b) bank card acquiring service, with that of Chanjet Payment. Based on such criteria, we have identified the following Comparable Companies:

The figures are extracted from the latest published financial information (extracted from (i) audited annual report of Smart Group Holdings Limited for the year ended 31 March 2016 and (ii) audited annual report of Hi Sun Technology (China) Limited for the year ended 31 December 2015) of the Comparable Companies, and, where applicable, the amounts in Hong Kong dollar has been translated into RMB at the exchange rate of RMB1.0 to Hong Kong dollar 1.2.

  3. The historical PRR of the Comparable Companies is calculated based on its revenue and its closing market capitalization as at the Latest Practicable Date.

  4. The figure is extracted from the Valuation Report.

  5. The revenue generated by Chanjet Payment during the year ended 31 December 2015 was extracted from Chanjet Payment 2015 Financial Statements.

  6. The estimated PRR of Chanjet Payment is calculated based on its revenue and the fair value of the Valuation.

As indicated in the table above, the historical PRR of the Comparable Companies ranged from approximately 2.9 times to 4.9 times, with an average of approximately 3.9 times. The estimated PRR of Chanjet Payment of approximately 39.1 times is substantially higher than all the historical PRRs of the Comparable Companies.

In the consideration of the premium in PRR that Yonyou has offered to the Group to acquire 55.82% of the equity interest of Chanjet Payment, we considered that the Proposed Disposal and Capital Increase are in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT CAPITAL

(b) Valuation Report of Chanjet Payment

As set out in Valuation Report and also based on our discussions with the Valuer, in arriving at their opinion of value that the fair value of RMB350.34 million of Chanjet Payment as at the Valuation Date, the Valuer made reference to three generally accepted approaches to value, namely the market approach, the asset approach and the income approach. The income approach has been adopted by the Valuer in the valuation. The income approach is the conversion of expected periodic income into an indication of value, based on the principle that an informed buyer would pay no more for asset than an amount equal to the present worth of anticipated future income from the same or equivalent asset with similar risk. The market approach is not applicable since (i) the market information in the Chinese market is not transparent; and (ii) it is difficult to find more than three comparable transactions in Chinese market. The asset approach assesses the value of assets on a cost basis and would not consider (i) the future development and the discount rate of cash flow of Chanjet Payment, and (ii) other factors not accounted for in the financial statements, such as human resources, marketing networks and stable client base.

As set out in the Valuation Report, the income approach generally provides a better analysis on the value as it has considered the factors that has not been reflected in the financial statements, such as a stable customer network and sales network. Therefore, as stated in the Valuation Report, and we concur, the income approach is appropriate to be adopted in the valuation.

We have reviewed and discussed with the Valuer regarding the methodology of, and key basis and assumptions adopted for, the valuation including but not limited to the assumption that Chanjet Payment will be able to renew the Payment Clearance Operator License in 2019 and the profit forecast provided by the Group on the amount of revenue, selling and distribution expenses, administrative expenses and capital expenditure. We understand that the Valuer had considered all relevant factors affecting the operation of the business and its ability to generate future investment returns. A list of information reviewed and major assumptions made by Valuer and the summary of the Valuation Report are set out in Appendix I and Appendix II, respectively.

We understand from the Valuer that the Free Cash Flow to Firm (“ FCFF ”) in Discounted Cash Flow Method (“ DCF ”) was used in the valuation. The use of FCFF in DCF method is considered appropriate because (a) Chanjet is a going-concern; (b) FCFF is a measure of operating cash flow after the deduction of operating expenses, possible capital expenditure and additional working capital. Therefore, the FCFF reflects the net cash flow being received by Chanjet Payment in the future from September 2016 to the end of 2023; and (c) the value of the interest being considered is determined by the future income attributed to Chanjet Payment, less any outstanding debt as of the Valuation Date, that is, the net present value of FCFF.

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT CAPITAL

We set forth below our analysis on the principal parameters adopted in the Valuation Report:

(i) Revenue

We have obtained the financial projection for the valuation of Chanjet Payment, noting that the projected revenue is calculated based on multiplying the projected number of merchants and customers by the estimated average spending for each merchant/ customer. We further assessed that the growth rate of the number of merchants and the estimated average spending for each merchant/customer, noting that they were determined with reference to the historical figures of Chanjet Payment and the market conditions, as the Management expects that there will be more competitions within the third party payment market in the coming years.

(ii) Enterprise income tax

We have also reviewed the Valuer’s assumption on the enterprise income tax of Chanjet Payment. As Chanjet Payment has submitted high and new technology enterprise status application in 2016. It is expected that Chanjet Payment will obtain the status in 2017 and be charged with a lower enterprise income tax rate of 15% from 2017.

We have obtained the tax payment receipt on Chanjet Payment and checked the application of the Company on high and new technology enterprise status application and noted that the estimated applicable tax rates are in line with the tax rates adopted in the financial projection.

(iii) Discount rate

We have reviewed the calculation of the discount rate, which is approximately 11.7%, noting that the Valuer has taken into account of the followings: (i) the weighted average cost of capital calculated using Capital Asset Pricing Model; (ii) the lending cost; (iii) the average yield of long term PRC government bonds, with remaining life of more than 10 years, is approximately 3.9% as at the Valuation Date; (iv) the equity risk premium, which was derived by considering the country default spread of China and the risk premium spread between the US stocks and US treasury bonds from 1928 to 2014; (v) the firm specific risk of Chanjet Payment; and (vi) the leverage beta, which was derived by comparing the unleveraged beta with a group of listed companies in China with similar principal business, financial performance and scale of business as Chanjet Payment possibility. We are of the view that the discount rate is calculated using a commonly adopted formula.

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT CAPITAL

Besides, we have also performed the followings steps regarding the Valuation conducted by the Valuer:

  • (i) interviewed the Valuer, inspected operating license and Valuer’s professional certificates and were satisfied with their experience and expertise;

  • (ii) confirmed with the Valuer that it has no current or prior relationship with the Group, Chanjet Payment and Yonyou, or their respective core connected persons, other than the engagement of appraisals in relation to the Proposed Disposal and Capital Increase;

  • (iii) reviewed the terms of engagement and the scope of work of the Valuer and considered that the scope of work is appropriate to the opinion required to be given and without any limitations on the scope of work which might adversely impact on the degree of assurance given by the Valuation Report, opinion or statement;

  • (iv) upon our interview with the Valuer, save and except those disclosed in the Valuation Report, we were not aware that each of the Group, Chanjet Payment and Yonyou has made any other formal or informal representations to the Valuer;

  • (v) reviewed and discussed with the Valuer the assumptions used for the valuation and the approaches used by the Valuer and were satisfied with their work performed and satisfied that the assumptions, rationale in applying the financial projection to the valuation and the approaches are appropriate and objective in such circumstances; and

  • (vi) reviewed the letter issued by Ernst & Young in relation to the profit forecast set out in Appendix III.

Having considered the above, we are of the view that the Consideration is determined on normal commercial term, fair and reasonable, and are in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

2. Principal terms in relation to the Capital Increase Agreement

Payment Terms

As of 21 October 2016, the registered capital of Chanjet Payment is RMB200,000,000. Pursuant to the Capital Increase Agreement, Yonyou will make a capital contribution to Chanjet Payment unilaterally in the amount of RMB100,000,000, among which, RMB57,087,091 will be contributed to the registered capital of Chanjet Payment and the remaining RMB42,912,909 will be contributed to the capital reserve of Chanjet Payment. As the Group will not make any capital increase on Chanjet Payment, its shareholding on Chanjet Payment will be further diluted.

Pricing

With reference to the Letter from the Board, the amount of capital contribution and the amount of contribution to the registered capital of Chanjet Payment by Yonyou were determined after arm’s length negotiation among the parties based on, among other things, (i) the existing amount of registered capital of Chanjet Payment; (ii) the fair value of RMB350,341,900 of Chanjet Payment as at the Valuation Date in accordance to the Valuation Report; and (iii) the capital requirement of Chanjet Payment.

Given the basis of the amount of capital contribution and the amount of contribution to the registered capital of Chanjet Payment were based on the fair value under the Valuation Report, and the financial position of Chanjet Payment will be improved for its continuous development upon the completion of the Capital Increase, we consider that it is justifiable for the dilution of Group’s equity interest on Chanjet Payment as a result of the Capital Increase.

(D) Reasons for and Benefits of the Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement and the Amended Confirmation

As mentioned in the Letter from the Board, Yonyou, Mr. Wang Wenjing and the Company entered into the Non-Competition Agreement on 17 February 2014 and Yonyou issued to the Company the Confirmation on 11 April 2014.

In addition, the Letter from the Board mentioned that upon completion of the Proposed Disposal and the Capital Increase, Yonyou and its associates will directly or indirectly engage, operate or participate in payment service business through Chanjet Payment and may thus constitute continuing breaches of the Non-Competition Agreement and the Confirmation. Given that the Company proposed to transfer the controlling shareholding in Chanjet Payment to Yonyou pursuant to the Disposal Agreement and the Capital Increase Agreement and that Yonyou and/ or its subsidiaries will engage in and operate payment service business upon the completion of

– 37 –

LETTER FROM CHINA EVERBRIGHT CAPITAL

the Disposal Agreement and the Capital Increase Agreement, the Company, Yonyou and Mr. Wang Wenjing proposed to enter into the Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement and the Confirmation shall be amended to the effect that payment service business shall be excluded from the Restricted Business under the Non-Competition Agreement and the relevant undertakings made by Yonyou under the Confirmation.

Furthermore, the Management is of the view that:

  • (i) the principal business of the Company will no longer involve payment service business upon completion of the Disposal Agreement and Capital Increase Agreement;

  • (ii) it would be impractical for Yonyou and Mr. Wang Wenjing to continue to comply with the original scope of the Restricted Business under the Non-Competition Agreement and the original undertakings in respect of the payment service business under the Confirmation, as the case may be, given that Chanjet Payment, which is principally engaged in payment service business, will become a non-wholly owned subsidiary of Yonyou;

  • (iii) the estimated time and costs required to be incurred by the Management in monitoring the compliance with, and periodically reporting on, the non-competition restrictions in respect of an area of business which is no longer directly engaged by the Group;

  • (iv) the Company will continue to benefit from the other protections provided under the Non-Competition Agreement (as supplemented by the Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement) and the Amended Confirmation, among which, Yonyou and Mr. Wang Wenjing and their respective associates will still be obliged to, inter alia, not to directly or indirectly, carry on or engage or be interested in the Restricted Business (other than the payment service business).

Our view on Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement and Amended Confirmation

Having considered that, (i) the Proposed Disposal and Capital Increase is fair and reasonable based on the sub-section headed “Reason for and benefits of Proposed Disposal and Capital Increase” above; (ii) as discussed before, it would be beneficial for the Company to maintain a stronger cash position to optimizing its asset structure and focusing more resources on developing software and cloud service business; and (iii) this is one of the condition precedents for satisfying the completion of the Proposed Disposal and Capital Increase, we are of the view that (i) Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement and Amended Confirmation; and (ii) the terms of the amendment of Supplemental Non-Competition Agreement and Amended Confirmation, although not in the ordinary course of business in the Company, are entered on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

VALUATION METHODS

(1) Introduction of the Valuation Methods

The valuation methods used for calculating the enterprise value include the income approach, market approach and asset-based approach.

The income approach used for calculating the enterprise value refers to the valuation method used for determining the value of the subject of valuation by capitalizing or discounting the expected income. Specific methods commonly used by the income approach include the dividend discount method and the cash flow discount method.

The market approach used for calculating the enterprise value refers to the valuation method used for determining the value of the subject of valuation by comparing the subject of valuation with comparable listed companies or with comparable transaction cases. Two specific methods used by the market approach are the listed company comparison method and the transaction case comparison method.

The asset-based approach used for calculating the enterprise value refers to the valuation method, based on the balance sheets of the subject of valuation as at the Valuation Date, used for determining the value of the subject of valuation by reasonably appraising the value of various assets and liabilities recorded in and outside balance sheets.

APPENDIX II

(2) Selection of Valuation Methods

Selection of valuation methods should not only adapt to the purpose of the valuation, the market conditions prevailing at the time of the valuation and the type of value, it should also consider the sufficiency of, among others, the statistics and information required by the selected valuation methods and the key economic indicators, and to analyze the applicability of the three approaches before determining the applicable valuation methods for the valuation.

  • (a) The reasons why the market approach was not applicable to this Valuation are as follows:

It is hard to find more than three transaction cases which are similar to the enterprise subject to valuation due to the underdeveloped marketization and informatization in the state, inactive equity trading market and lack of transparency in exchange information. The information of operations and finance and relevant information of transaction cases with sufficient and comparable market statistics are harder to collect, resulting in difficulty in adjustment of comparative analysis to determine the value of the enterprise of the entrusted valuation. Therefore, market approach is not appropriate for this Valuation.

  • (b) The reasons why income approach is applicable to this Valuation are as follows:

  • i. The future expected income of the enterprise can be predicted and be measured in monetary term;

  • ii. The risks borne by the expected income of the enterprise that is closely related to discount can also be predicted and be measured in monetary term;

  • iii. The expected profit life can be predicted.

  • (c) The reasons why asset-based approach is applicable to this Valuation are as follows:

  • i. The information of each asset and liability of the enterprise subject to Valuation is basically complete;

  • ii. The data, major technology parameters and the financial data for the benchmark date collected by the valuators required for the Valuation of cost approach are sufficient and complete.

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

Calculation of Discount Rate

Upon estimation of the free cash flow of Chanjet Payment for the forecasting period, we calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) on the same basis with calculation of the revenue, to determine the discount rate.

Determination of risk-free yield

The risk-free yield may normally be determined with reference to the maturity yield of long-term treasury bonds issued by the government. The average yield of 3.88% of long-term treasury bonds (with the remaining period of more than ten years) in the stock market on the Valuation Date can be considered as risk-free yield according to the information disclosed by WIND Consulting System.

Determination of market risk premium

The domestic stock market is an emerging and relatively closed market. On one hand, China’s stock market has relatively shorter history and the speculative atmosphere in the market was intense for the early years after it was established, resulting in higher level of volatility of the market. On the other hand, China currently has a stricter control over foreign exchange under the capital account in addition to the unique share fragmentation on the Chinese market. Hence, directly determining the equity risk premiums based on historical data is unreliable, as opposed to a developed market, which has longer history and where the equity risk premiums for the overall market could be directly determined through analysis of historical data. As such, the risk premium for the emerging market generally can be adjusted and determined by adopting those of the developed market in the world.

Market risk premium = basic compensation amount for developed stock market + state risk compensation amount

The basic compensation amount of developed stock market is 6.25%, which is derived from the difference of mathematical average return between the US stock and treasury bonds from 1928 to 2014 and the state risk compensation amount is 0.90%.

Accordingly, ERP=6.25%+0.90%=7.15%

Hence, market risk premium (ERP) is valued at 7.15%.

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

Determination of the stock market risk factor of Beta ( β ) of the comparable companies

As the enterprise subject to the Valuation is a non-listed company without readily available β, the valuers indirectly obtained its applicable β via analysis of domestic listed companies. To this end, our method was to look for listed companies whose principal business scope, operation performance and asset size that were relatively similar to the enterprise subject to the Valuation to the extent possible as comparable companies for calculation of β. Although the comparable companies set out below, whose principal businesses are similar to that of Chanjet Payment, are larger in size than Chanjet Payment in terms of, among other things, revenue, profit and asset, it is common practice to refer to listed companies in the same industry who are larger in size to determine the applicable Beta (β) where it is hard to find any listed company in the same industry as and of similar size to the enterprise subject to the valuation. In addition, calculation of the discount rate has incorporated such further adjustments as, inter alia, the corporate income tax rate (T) specific to Chanjet Payment and the enterprise-specific risk yield (Rs) of Chanjet Payment. For details of determination of enterprise-specific risk yield, please refer to the paragraph headed “– Determination of enterprisespecific risk yield” as set out below. The valuer is of the view that both the determination of Beta (β) and the calculation of the discount rate herein are fair and reasonable.

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

The specific determination process is as follows:

First, we calculated the Beta (βu) without financial leverage of the comparable listed companies (or industries) based on their published Beta. And then we calculated the Beta (βL) with financial leverage of the enterprise using its effective corporate tax rate and capital structure indicator D/E as reasonably determined according to its operating interest-bearing liabilities.

The formula is:

βL=(1+(1-T)×D/E)×βu

Where,

βL: Beta with financial leverage;

D/E: Capital structure of the enterprise;

βu: Beta without financial leverage;

  • T: Corporate Income tax rate.

The enterprise’s D/E was calculated based on the following formula:

D = market value of long and short-term borrowings

E = market value of total equity interests of shareholders

Based on the related industry segment data, the βu without financial leverage was determined at 0.9857 after adjustment.

The target capital structure indicator D/E was determined with the comparable companies’ average debt ratio of 9.10% and average equity ratio of 90.90%.

In terms of income tax rate, assuming that the income tax rate of Chanjet Payment is 15%, the βL of the enterprise (including financial leverage) that is applicable in future is:

βL=(1+(1-T)×D/E)×βu

  • =1.0696

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

Determination of enterprise-specific risk yield

Risks relating to the enterprise subject to Valuation are different from the industry average risk level represented by the comparable listed companies, which are therefore subject to further adjustment. Specific risks of the enterprise subject to Valuation are mainly categorized into four aspects: technique risks, capital risks, management risks and market risks. Based on the actual situation of the enterprise and after overall analysis, the enterprise-specific risk factor was determined at 1%.

Calculation of discount rate

  • (1) Calculation of cost of equity capital

The cost of equity capital of the enterprise subject to Valuation is arrived at by putting the above determined parameters into the calculation formula for the cost of equity capital:

Re = Rf+βL(Rm-Rf)+ Rs

=3.88%+1.0696×7.15%+1%

  • =12.53%

  • (2) Calculation of WACC

So long as the enterprise subject to Valuation as of the Valuation Date has no interestbearing debts, the WACC of the enterprise subject to Valuation is arrived at by putting the parameters determined above into the calculation formula for the WACC.

R = W1×Re+W2×Rd×(1-T)

=11.73%

Based on the abovementioned, the discount rate should be 11.73%.

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

Projection Bases

The profit forecast of Chanjet Payment for the forecast period is made based on the figures from the financial statements for the period from 2013 to 31 August 2016, taking into account the status quo and prospect of the internet financial industry in which Chanjet Payment operates and after an analysis of the advantages and risks of Chanjet Payment, in particular, the market environment facing Chanjet Payment, its future development potential and the development strategies and objectives of Chanjet Payment.

Forecast of Revenue

According to its business adjustment plan, no more revenue from POS machine sales would be generated after the Valuation Date. Revenue from bank card settlement business, online gateway handling fees, collection and paying agent fees and advance payment fees for online payment, and one-off business are calculated using various parameters including the annual average number of customers, the average monthly transaction amount per customer and yield or each charge, with the number of customers and customer growth rate being estimated based on its historical data, macroeconomic analysis, industry characteristics, business planning, market demands, etc.

Forecast of Operating Costs

The operating costs mainly comprise bank payment channel costs and profit shares paid to the agents incurred from three business lines, i.e. offline bank card settlement business, online payment gateway handling fee business, and collection and paying agent fee business of online payment. As advance payments for online payment are sourced from its self-owned funds, advance payment business incurs no more costs. Incomes of one-off business are mainly access fees, the cost of which mainly composes of cost of sales staff, which have been counted towards expenses, and thus such business generates no more costs.

Forecast of Business Tax and Surcharges

Pursuant to the PRC tax law, the taxes and surcharges required to be paid by Chanjet Payment include urban maintenance and construction tax, education surcharge and local education surcharge whose taxation bases comprise value-added tax (VAT) and business tax. Chanjet Payment is subject to levying of VAT at a tax rate of 6% or 17% and exempt from business tax. Since Chanjet Payment has no POS machine sales plan going forward, it only has to pay value-added tax at the rate of 6%. After enquiry with relevant person-in-charge of Chanjet Payment, we learned that the profit shares paid are deductible from the VAT at 6% tax rate and thus VAT shall be levied at 6% on its revenue after deducting such costs. VAT payables are calculated based on the forecast of revenue, and on this basis, urban maintenance and construction tax, education surcharge, local education surcharge and local education surcharge are calculated according to their effective tax rates (5%, 3% and 2% respectively).

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

Forecast of Period Expenses

Based on the actual historical figures of sales expenses, administrative expenses and financial expenses for the period from 2013 to August 2016 as well as the particulars of sales expenses and administrative expenses, the estimated figures of such expenses for the coming five years are projected according to their different growth rates. As Chanjet Payment uses its self-owned funds to finance its advance payment business without generating interest income, financial expenses incorporate no interest income of self-owned funds but handling fees.

Forecast of Non-operating Revenue/Expenses

In recent years, non-operating revenue of Chanjet Payment mainly came from the disposal of fixed assets and its non-operating expenses mainly represented a small amount of fines. As such, its nonoperating expenses for previous years were highly contingent, added to that it has no plan on any major disposal of tangible and intangible assets in the coming years, thus no forecast is made as to non-operating revenue/expenses.

Forecast of Income Tax

Currently, the applicable corporate income tax rate for Chanjet Payment is 25%. It submitted the application for the certificate of high-tech enterprise in 2016 and expected to obtain such certificate in 2017. If so, its applicable corporate income tax rate will be 15% after 2017. The estimated corporate income taxes are calculated by multiplying the estimated total profit for each year by the applicable corporate income tax rate. As of the Valuation Date, Chanjet Payment had accumulated losses and needs to make up for the losses for previous five years after recording profit, which will not be done until 2021. And corporate income tax will be levied on the remaining profit at a rate of 15% during the loss-recovering period and thereafter when it no longer has losses to make up for.

Forecast of Depreciation and Amortisation

Depreciations of fixed assets comprise three parts, namely, depreciation of existing fixed assets, depreciation of updated fixed assets and depreciation of newly-added fixed assets. Depreciations of fixed assets are projected according to the size and status of existing fixed assets, investment scale of newly-added fixed assets and the depreciation policy of Chanjet Payment. After investigation, we learned that its existing equipment has been able to meet its normal operation and thus assumed that there will be no addition of fixed assets in the future. As a result, depreciations of existing fixed assets and updated fixed assets are calculated based on the equipment owned by Chanjet Payment as at the base date. Its intangible assets are mainly software use rights which are amortized on a straight-line basis according to their book balances as at the Valuation Date and their original book values.

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

Forecast of Capital Expenditure

Capital expenditure for the coming years considered in the Valuation mainly represents renewal and supplement of the existing fixed assets of Chanjet Payment. By means of communication with relevant personnel of the enterprise and on the basis of the judgment of commencement date for usage of the existing fixed assets, term of economic life, remaining usable life, replacement and rate of residual value, etc., the valuer can determine the amount of capital expenditure of the enterprise for each of the coming years. As to the perpetual annual capital expenditure after year 2020, it shall be the renewal of depreciation of fixed assets.

Forecast of Increase in Working Capital

Increased working capital represents the newly added working capital needed to maintain continuing operation of the enterprise under the condition that no change is incurred to the principal business of the enterprise. Increase in working capital represents, in the wake of changes of operational activities of the enterprise, the occupied cash gained by obtaining business credit of other units, or the cash and inventories etc. needed for normal operation. In the meantime, in economic activities, the provision of business credit can correspondingly reduce occasions of prompt cash payment. Generally speaking, since audited items of other receivables and other payables are mainly irrelevant or only temporarily relevant with principal business, specific examination on relevancy with the estimated operational business is needed for determination. Therefore, in principle, only dominant factors such as cash needed for normal operation, receivables, inventory and payables are needed to be considered into the estimation of increase in working capital. The definition of increase in working capital in this report is as follow:

Increase in working capital = working capital of the current period – working capital of the previous period

Among other things, working capital = monetary capital (minimum amount of monetary capital) + receivables + inventory – payables

According to interviews with the financial personnel of enterprises, minimum amount of monetary capital is deemed reasonable as it is considered as the cost of cash payment for two months.

Receivables = Total operating revenue/turnover rate of receivables

Receivables mainly include accounts receivable, bills receivable and prepayments.

Valuation of Surplus Funds

Surplus funds represent superfluous assets that have no direct link to and exceed the required amount for the operation of the enterprise, generally referring to surplus monetary capital.

Surplus funds are determined by the monetary capital deducted by the balance of minimum amount of monetary capital on Valuation Date. With reference to the operational circumstances and operational plans for the coming years, we regard the cost of cash payment for two months as the minimum amount of monetary capital. Thus,

Estimate of surplus funds = estimate of monetary capital – minimum amount of cash

Valuation of Non-operating Assets

Non-operating assets represent assets that have no direct link to the operating income of the enterprise and value of which is not included in the free cash flow of the enterprise. Non-operating assets in the Valuation are long-term equity investment.

Valuation of Non-operating Liabilities

Non-operating liabilities represent liabilities that have no direct link to the operating income of the enterprise and value of which is not included in the free cash flow of the enterprise. Non-operating liabilities in the Valuation are non-current liabilities due within one year, namely, deposits from customers, and are valuated independently by means of cost method.

Interest-bearing debts represent the liabilities bearing interest payable by Chanjet Payment on the Valuation Date. No interest-bearing debts are involved in the Valuation.

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

(3) Determination of Valuation Results

After comparing the results of asset-based approach and income approach, the difference between the results using income approach and the result using asset-based approach is RMB224.1511 million, the difference rate of which is 177.63%. The income-based approach focuses on the future earnings of the company, which is based on the premise of the assessment of assumptions, whereas the asset-based approach focuses on the history and reality of the company. The difference in the nature of focus of different approaches result in the difference in the assessment result.

Asset-based approach determines the value of the company from a static point of view, without taking into account the future development and the discounted of cash flow of the company, and other factors not accounted for in the financial statements, such as human resources, marketing networks, stable client base and other factors, which often makes the value of the company being undervalued.

The income approach takes into account not only the value of all tangible assets, intangible assets and liabilities that are present on the company’s balance sheet, but also the value of the company brand, human resources, marketing network and stable client base and other goodwill that are not shown on the balance sheet. Taking into account the purpose of this Valuation, the result using income approach better reflects the true business value of Chanjet Payment. Therefore, the Valuation is based on the results using income approach as the value reference, and the total value of shareholders’ equity of Chanjet Payment was RMB350.3419 million.

The valuation based on the Forecast is regarded by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited as a profit forecast under paragraph 14.61 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Listing Rules ”).

Directors’ Responsibilities

The directors of the Company (the “ Directors ”) are solely responsible for the Forecast.
