LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 8 January 2024 and 7 February 2024 in relation to the Acquisition, the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Capital Injection and the Capital Injection Agreement.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding, among other things, (i) further details in relation to the Acquisition, the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Capital Injection and the Capital Injection Agreement; and (ii) other information required under the Listing Rules.

THE ACQUISITION

On 8 January 2024, the Purchaser, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Equity Transfer Agreement with the Vendor. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to purchase and the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell the Equity Interest in Sichuan Chenxing at the consideration of RMB45,000,000.

The principal terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement are as follows:

Date: 8 January 2024

Parties: (1) the Vendor;

(2) the Purchaser; and

(3) Sichuan Chenxing.

Subject matter:

Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to purchase, and the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell, the Equity Interest in Sichuan Chenxing.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Consideration and payment:

The consideration for the Acquisition is RMB45,000,000. The parties to the Equity Transfer Agreement agreed that the consideration of RMB45,000,000 shall be payable by Sichuan Chenxing to the Vendor and shall be used to offset part of the Capital Injection payable by the Vendor.

The consideration of RMB45,000,000 was determined after arm’s length negotiations among the Purchaser and the Vendor with reference to the net asset value of Sichuan Chenxing (after deduction of dividend to be distributed) as at 30 June 2022. The adjusted unconsolidated net asset value of Sichuan Chenxing was RMB283.8 million, which was determined based on the unconsolidated net asset value of Sichuan Chenxing of RMB685.4 million as at 30 June 2022 according to the independent auditors’ report, as adjusted by the dividend to be distributed of RMB401.6 million. The consideration of RMB45,000,000 represented approximately 16.1074% of the adjusted unconsolidated net asset value of Sichuan Chenxing.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The unaudited unconsolidated net asset value of Sichuan Chenxing (after deduction of dividend to be distributed) was RMB288.6 million as at 30 September 2023. For illustrative purpose only, the consideration of the Acquisition represented a discount of approximately 3.19% of the 16.1074% of the unaudited unconsolidated net asset of Sichuan Chenxing as at 30 September 2023. As (i) the Directors considered that there was no material difference between the net asset value of Sichuan Chenxing as at 30 September 2023 and that as at 30 June 2022; and (ii) the consideration had been determined during the early stage of the negotiation between the parties and no subsequent auditors’ report was issued, the Purchaser and the Vendor agreed to determine the consideration of the Acquisition based on the net asset value of Sichuan Chenxing as at 30 June 2022.

The adjusted consolidated net asset value of Sichuan Chenxing Group (after deduction of dividend to be distributed) was RMB309.1 million as at 30 June 2022. For illustrative purpose only, the consideration of the Acquisition represented a discount of approximately 9.6% of the 16.1074% of the unaudited consolidated net asset of Sichuan Chenxing Group as at 30 June 2022. As (i) the Directors considered that there was no material difference between the adjusted net asset value of Sichuan Chenxing and that of Sichuan Chenxing Group as at 30 June 2022; and (ii) the Purchaser and the Vendor agreed to determine the consideration of the Acquisition based on the net asset value of Sichuan Chenxing as at 30 June 2022, the Directors considered it is appropriate to determine the consideration of the Acquisition using the adjusted net asset value of Sichuan Chenxing and are of the view that such basis is fair and reasonable.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For the avoidance of doubt, the Equity Transfer Agreement and the Capital Injection Agreement are not inter-conditional to each other, but it is intended that the consideration of RMB45,000,000 under the Equity Transfer Agreement shall be used to offset part of the Capital Injection payable by the Vendor under the Capital Injection Agreement.

Condition precedent:

Completion is conditional upon the Company having obtained the approval by the Shareholders approving the Equity Transfer Agreement and the Acquisition.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, written approval from White Dynasty BVI, the controlling Shareholder, has been obtained and the condition precedent under the Equity Transfer Agreement has been fulfilled.

Completion:

Completion shall take place upon the equity transfer registration. Following the completion of the Acquisition, Sichuan Chenxing will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

THE CAPITAL INJECTION

On 8 January 2024, the Vendor entered into the Capital Injection Agreement with Sichuan Chenxing, pursuant to which the Vendor and Sichuan Chenxing shall make a capital injection of RMB136,000,000 and RMB154,000,000 into the registered capital of Mianyang Chenxing, respectively. Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement and Capital Injection Agreement, part of the Capital Injection made by the Vendor shall be set off by the consideration for the Acquisition of RMB45,000,000.

The principal terms of the Capital Injection Agreement are as follows:

Date: 8 January 2024

Parties:

  • (1) the Vendor;

  • (2) Sichuan Chenxing; and

  • (3) Mianyang Chenxing.

Subject matter:

Pursuant to the terms of the Capital Injection Agreement, the Vendor and Sichuan Chenxing shall make a Capital Injection of RMB136,000,000 and RMB154,000,000 into the registered capital of Mianyang Chenxing, respectively.

Condition precedent:

Completion is conditional upon the Company having obtained the approval by the Shareholders approving the Capital Injection Agreement.

The Equity Transfer Agreement and the Capital Injection Agreement are not inter-conditional to each other, but it is intended that the consideration of RMB45,000,000 under the Equity Transfer Agreement shall be used to offset part of the Capital Injection payable by the Vendor under the Capital Injection Agreement.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, written approval from White Dynasty BVI, the controlling Shareholder, has been obtained and the condition precedent under the Capital Injection Agreement has been fulfilled and the Acquisition is pending completion. The Equity Transfer Agreement will hence be proceeded and the consideration of RMB45,000,000 under the Equity Transfer Agreement will be used to offset part of the Capital Injection payable by the Vendor.

The Capital Injection in the total amount of RMB290,000,000 by the Vendor and Sichuan Chenxing was determined based on arm’s length negotiations among the parties with reference to, among other things, the (i) dividend payable by Sichuan Chenxing; (ii) outstanding indebtedness of Sichuan Chenxing due to the Purchaser and the Vendor; and (iii) business prospects of Mianyang Chenxing:

  • i. On 2 January 2024, Sichuan Chenxing declared a dividend of approximately RMB175.5 million and RMB226.1 million to the Purchaser and the Vendor, respectively. Payment of the Capital Injection will be satisfied by offsetting (i) the consideration for the Acquisition of RMB45,000,000 payable by Sichuan Chenxing on behalf of the Vendor; and (ii) the dividend payable of RMB154 million and RMB91 million to the Purchaser and the Vendor, respectively. There will be no additional cash or fund injected into Mianyang Chenxing upon the completion of the Capital Injection.

  • ii. The remaining dividend of RMB156.6 million payable by Sichuan Chenxing to the Purchaser and the Vendor shall be offset by other outstanding indebtedness due from the Purchaser and the Vendor, being the project development costs which were previously paid by Sichuan Chenxing on behalf of the Purchaser and the Vendor.

  • iii. The underlying assets of Mianyang Chenxing comprise mixed-use residential and commercial developments, namely two phases of Changxing Jinhu Garden (長興金湖庭院) project. The construction of Phase One of the project has been completed and Mianyang Chenxing is in the course of applying for the Construction Project Work Completion Certificate which is expected to be obtained by April 2024, whereas Phase Two of the project is undergoing project positioning and is awaiting approval for its building. It is expected that Phase Two of the project would incur a construction cost of approximately RMB708,330,000.

The dividend payable to the Purchaser and the Vendor and the construction cost for Phase Two of Changxing Jinhu Garden (長興金湖庭院) project shall in aggregate amount to a cash outflow of RMB953 million. Sichuan Chenxing shall settle the remaining dividend payable to the

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Purchaser and the Vendor by offsetting other outstanding indebtedness due from the Purchaser and the Vendor. Whilst Mianyang Chenxing has quick assets of approximately RMB464 million as at 30 June 2023, the capital injection of RMB290 million shall ease the cash outflow issue and relieve the capital pressure of Mianyang Chenxing.

Set out below are the details of the offsetting arrangement regarding (i) the consideration of RMB45 million payable by the Purchaser under the Equity Transfer Agreement and (ii) the Capital Injection payable to Mianyang Chenxing under the Capital Injection Agreement:

  • i. Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, the consideration of RMB45 million payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor shall instead be payable by Sichuan Chenxing on behalf of the Purchaser to the Vendor. Simultaneously, the Vendor entered into the Capital Injection Agreement with Sichuan Chenxing, pursuant to which the Vendor agreed to make a capital injection of RMB136 million into Mianyang Chenxing. Since Mianyang Chenxing is a subsidiary of Sichuan Chenxing, the consideration of RMB45 million which was initially payable by Sichuan Chenxing to the Vendor was used to offset part of the capital injection payable by the Vendor to Mianyang Chenxing. The remaining capital injection of RMB91 million which shall be payable by the Vendor into Mianyang Chenxing, shall be offset by the partial dividend payable to the Vendor by Sichuan Chenxing, such that no additional fund will be injected into Mianyang Chenxing by the Vendor after completion of the Capital Injection.

  • ii. An amount of approximately RMB226.1 million was due from Sichuan Chenxing to the Purchaser, being the dividend payable declared by Sichuan Chenxing on 2 January 2024. Pursuant to the Capital Injection Agreement, the partial dividend of RMB154 million which shall be payable to the Purchaser, shall be paid to Mianyang Chenxing by Sichuan Chenxing as capital injection by the Purchaser. To settle part of the outstanding indebtedness due from Mianyang Chenxing to Sichuan Chenxing, being the project development costs which were previously paid by Sichuan Chenxing on behalf of Mianyang Chenxing, the capital injection of RMB154 million shall be offset such that no additional fund will be injected into Mianyang Chenxing by Sichuan Chenxing after completion of the Capital Injection.

Prior to the Capital Injection, the total registered capital of Mianyang Chenxing was RMB50 million. Upon completion of the Capital Injection, the Vendor and Sichuan Chenxing would have in total contributed RMB136 million and RMB204 million, respectively, and thus hold 40% and 60% equity interest in Mianyang Chenxing, respectively, and Mianyang Chenxing will remain a subsidiary of the Company.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As Mianyang Chenxing will remain as a subsidiary of the Group after the completion of the Capital Injection, the gain or loss arising from the Capital Injection will not be recognised in the consolidated income statement of the Group.

Mianyang Chenxing’s major assets comprised the property interests. For details, please refer to Appendix II to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION OF THE GROUP AND THE PARTIES

The Group

The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in property development with focus on development projects of residential and commercial properties.

The Purchaser

The Purchaser is a company established in the PRC with limited liability and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Its principal business is development and sale of properties.

The Vendor

The Vendor is a company established in the PRC with limited liability and is principally engaged in real estate development. Mr. Miao Wei and Mr. Miao Xiongwei are the ultimate beneficial owner of the Vendor. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquires, based on the information available to the Company, save for the interest in Sichuan Chenxing held by the Vendor, Mr. Miao Wei and Mr. Miao Xiongwei, the Vendor, Mr. Miao Wei and Mr. Miao Xiongwei are third parties independent of the Group and its connected persons.

Sichuan Chenxing

Sichuan Chenxing is an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Sichuan Chenxing is principally engaged in development and sale of residential and commercial properties.

The underlying assets of Sichuan Chenxing comprise mixed-use residential and commercial developments, namely (1) Chenxing Tianyu (辰興天御) project; (2) Chenxing Youshan Meijun (辰 興優山美郡) project; and (3) two phases of Changxing Xingcheng (長興星城) project. The projects are all located in Mianyang Science and Technology City New District (綿陽市科技城新區). The construction of the projects has been completed and the sale of properties has been commenced.

Mianyang Chenxing

Mianyang Chenxing is an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Mianyang Chenxing is principally engaged in development and sale of residential and commercial properties.

– 15 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The underlying assets of Mianyang Chenxing comprise mixed-use residential and commercial developments, namely two phases of Changxing Jinhu Garden (長興金湖庭院) project. The project is located in Jinxihu North Road, Fucheng District, Mianyang City (綿陽市涪城區金家林金西湖北 路). The construction of Phase One of the project has been completed and is in preparation for sale, and Mianyang Chenxing is in the course of applying for the Construction Project Work Completion Certificate which is expected to be obtained by April 2024. Phase Two of the project is undergoing product positioning and is awaiting approval for its building plan.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION AND CAPITAL INJECTION

The Board considers that the Acquisition represents a valuable opportunity to acquire Sichuan Chenxing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which enhances the flexibility of dividend distribution and capital management. The Acquisition will help the Group to achieve an independent operation of Sichuan Chenxing and thereby creating a flexible business development environment.

The Board is also of the view that the Capital Injection which offsets the partial dividend payable to the Vendor and the Purchaser will improve the liquidity and the financial stability of Sichuan Chenxing. In particular, by applying the proceeds from the Acquisition, the Capital Injection will allow the Vendor to continue investing in Sichuan Chenxing Group and funding the residential and commercial property development projects of Mianyang Chenxing namely two phases of Changxing Jinhu Garden (長興金湖庭院) project after the Vendor’s exit from Sichuan Chenxing as Sichuan Chenxing has completed all property projects. In particular, Phase Two of the project is undergoing product positioning and is awaiting approval for its building plan. The Capital Injection will hence allow more financial resources to support the development of the property project of Mianyang Chenxing which may potentially bring greater financial return to the Group. Furthermore, with the introduction of the Vendor being the shareholder of Mianyang Chenxing, it will also help mitigate the financial exposure of the Group and reduce the potential impact of any adverse events or market fluctuations.

Accordingly, the Directors (including all the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the Capital Injection Agreement are fair and reasonable, and that the Acquisition and the Capital Injection are on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

– 16 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE ACQUISITION AND CAPITAL INJECTION

After completion of the Acquisition and Capital Injection, Sichuan Chenxing and Mianyang Chenxing remain as a subsidiary of the Group and their financial results, assets and liabilities will continue to be consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As such, there will not be any profit or loss effect to the Group.

As a result of the Capital Injection of RMB136,000,000 by the Vendor, the total assets of the Group shall increase accordingly. Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, the consideration for the Acquisition of RMB45,000,000 shall be payable to the Vendor by Sichuan Chenxing on behalf of the Purchaser. Hence, since the Capital Injection of RMB136,000,000 shall be offset by the consideration for the Acquisition of RMB45,000,000, the total liabilities of the Group shall decrease accordingly. Therefore, although no additional cash or fund shall be injected into Mianyang Chenxing upon completion of the Capital Injection, the Group is expected to record an increase of RMB91,000,000 in its total net assets.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Connected Transactions

As at the date of this circular, the Vendor, being the substantial shareholder of Sichuan Chenxing, is a connected person of the Company at the subsidiary level. The Acquisition and the Capital Injection constitute connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

By virtue of Rule 14A.101 of the Listing Rules, since (i) the Vendor is a connected person at the subsidiary level, (ii) the Board has approved the Acquisition and the Capital Injection, and (iii) the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) have confirmed that (1) the terms of the Acquisition and the Capital Injection are fair and reasonable, (2) the Acquisition and the Capital Injection are on normal commercial terms or better and (3) in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, the Acquisition and the Capital Injection are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but is exempt from the circular, independent financial advice and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

– 17 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Major Transactions

Upon completion of the Acquisition, Mianyang Chenxing shall become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon completion of the Capital Injection, the indirect equity interest held by the Company in Mianyang Chenxing will reduce to 60%. Therefore the Capital Injection, if materialized, will constitute a deemed disposal by the Company under Rule 14.29 of the Listing Rules.

As the Acquisition and Capital Injection involves both acquisition and disposal by the Company and is therefore required under Rule 14.24 of the Listing Rules to be classified by reference to the larger of the Acquisition and the Capital Injection.

As (a) one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition are 5% or more but each of them is less than 25%; and (b) one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Capital Injection are 25% or more but each of them is less than 75%, the Acquisition and Capital Injection constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rule. The Acquisition will also constitute a major transaction for the Company but will not be subject to the content requirements applicable to major transactions pursuant to Rule 14.24 of the Listing Rules.

Shareholders’ Approval

White Dynasty BVI, being the controlling Shareholder directly holding 346,944,000 Shares (representing approximately 57.82% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of this circular), has given its written approval for the Acquisition, the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Capital Injection and the Capital Injection Agreement. To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, as at the date of this circular, after having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders or any of their respective associates have any material interest in the Acquisition, the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Capital Injection and the Capital Injection Agreement. As such, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolution approving the Acquisition, the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Capital Injection and the Capital Injection Agreement if the Company is to convene a general meeting. Accordingly, such written approval is accepted in lieu of holding a general meeting pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

None of the Directors had material interests in the transactions or was required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolutions of the Board.

– 18 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors (including all the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement and Capital Injection Agreement are fair and reasonable, and that the Acquisition and Capital Injection are on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Although a general meeting will not be convened by the Company to approve the Equity Transfer Agreement and Capital Injection Agreement, if such a general meeting were to be convened by the Company, the Board would have recommended the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to approve the Equity Transfer Agreement and Capital Injection Agreement.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Amounts due to related parties and directors

As at 31 January 2024, the Group had outstanding amounts due to related parties of approximately RMB216,600,000 and due to directors of approximately RMB63,704,000, which were unguaranteed and unsecured.

Guarantees

The Group provided guarantees in respect of bank mortgage loans taken out by purchasers of the Group’s sale properties. For guarantees provided in respect of residential properties, the guarantees are released upon the issuance of real estate ownership certificate of the properties concerned. As at 31 January 2024, such guarantees totaled of approximately RMB1,520,614,000.

Save as aforesaid, and apart from intra-group liabilities and normal trade and other payables in the normal course of business, as at the close of business on 31 January 2024, the Group did not have any debt securities issued or outstanding or authorised or otherwise created but unissued, bank overdrafts, loans or other similar indebtedness, liabilities under acceptances or acceptance credits, debentures, mortgages, charges, hire purchases commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.

3. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

The Directors confirm that, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there had been no material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 December 2022, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statement of the Group were made up.

4. WORKING CAPITAL

As at 31 December 2023, bank loans with interest payable of approximately RMB4,314,000 had not been repaid according to their scheduled repayment date. As the Group failed to repay the loan interests in accordance with the repayment schedule for the year ended 31 December 2023, the related loans became immediately due in accordance with terms of loan agreements. Hence, the entire principal of approximately RMB321,817,000 together with interest payable and penalty interest of approximately RMB4,314,000 and approximately RMB180,000 respectively were classified as current liabilities at 31 December 2023.

As stipulated in the relevant loan and financing agreements in respect of certain borrowings of the Group other than those mentioned above, the delay of repayment of the above borrowings may trigger the rights to request for immediate repayment term of certain borrowings with

– 21 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

principal amount of approximately RMB2,438,465,000. Hence, the entire amount of the borrowings became immediately payable and has been classified as current liabilities as at 31 December 2023.

In the preparation of the Group’s working capital forecast, the Directors have given careful consideration to the Group’s future liquidity and performance and its available sources of financing to continue as a going concern. The working capital forecast for the Forecast Period have been prepared with the following major assumptions and events being taken into account of:

  • i. the Disposal will be completed in the first half of 2024 and the payment of the consideration will be settled in accordance with the equity transfer agreement entered into between Chenxing Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (辰興房地產發展有限公司) as the vendor and Jinzhong Development Zone Development and Construction Group Co., Ltd. (晉中開發區開發建設集團有限公司) as the purchaser;

  • ii. the lenders in respect of the borrowings that have the rights to demand for immediate repayment will not exercise their rights to demand immediate repayment of the relevant loans and prior to their scheduled contractual repayment dates;

  • iii. lenders of other loans with maturity dates due during the Forecast Period will extend their maturity dates and will not demand partial or full repayment of the loans; and

  • iv. the core business operation, asset base of the Group and the market conditions in which the Group operates and/or invests in will not differ materiality form those of present.

As a result of the borrowings that might be demanded for immediate repayment, the future operating cash inflow of the Group may not be sufficient to match the repayment schedule of borrowings and relevant interest payment.

The Board has continuously devoted effort to resolve the liquidity issue mentioned above. In view of these circumstances and to address the issue on working capital sufficiency, the Company has taken and propose to take the following measures:

  • i. the Group verbally agreed with the Group’s lenders not to enforce their rights of requesting for immediate repayment and to renew or extend the borrowings prior to their respective maturity dates;

  • ii. The Group is in active negotiations with the lenders in respect of the borrowings that have the rights to demand for immediate repayment for a debt restructuring so as to settle the borrowings by using the proceeds from new borrowing plans;

– 22 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

  • iii. the directors of the Group have prepared a business strategy plan mainly focuses on the acceleration of the pre-sales and sales of its properties under development and completed projects in order to generate additional operating cash inflows and putting extra efforts on the collection of trade debtors to improve the debtors’ turnover days, and the implementation of cost control measures; and

  • iv. The Company will continue to seek suitable opportunities to dispose of its equity interests in certain project development companies in order to generate additional cash inflows.

As of the date of this circular and within twelve months from the date of this circular, the Board does not plan to dispose equity interests in project development companies comprising core business of the Group. Furthermore, the Company does not plan to significantly downsize the operation of its principal business.

Taking into account the assumption stated above, with the successful implementation of the measures mentioned above, the Directors are of the opinion that the Group would have had sufficient working capital for at least the Forecast Period from the date of the circular.

During the year ended 31 December 2023 and up to the date of this circular, the Directors had not received any notices or requests from banks and other company for immediate repayment of the borrowings that have the rights to do so.

Subsequent to 31 December 2023 and as of the date of this circular, the Group obtained new borrowing facilities of RMB250 million. Following the successful renewal of bank and other borrowings of approximately RMB855,972,000 during the year for terms ranging from nine months to three years, the management expected that the Group would be able to renew bank and other borrowings with an aggregate outstanding principal of RMB2,815,782,000 that are repayable within one year for another year prior to their respective maturity dates.

Notwithstanding the above, material uncertainties exist that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as going concern, which depends on (i) whether it can successfully negotiate with the lenders on the extension or deferral of the repayment of the Group’s borrowings, renewal of existing borrowings upon maturity and the new borrowing plans and (ii) the successful implementation of measures described above in the normal course of businesses.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Shareholders should note that the validity of the statement of the working capital sufficiency of the Group as mentioned above depends on the outcome of the above-mentioned plans and measures undertaken/being undertaken by the Group, which are subject to uncertainties. Should the Group fail to achieve the above-mentioned consideration and measures, the Group may not have sufficient working capital for its requirements for at least the Forecast Period.

The Company has obtained the relevant confirmation as required under Rule 14.66(12) of the Listing Rules.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

In the first half of 2023, the real estate industry was under serious downward pressure. Regarding the real estate industry, as leading real estate companies successively experienced capital chain rupture and were under greater financing pressure, they were less willing to make investment and hence resulted in a decrease in the new construction area. Regarding the real estate market, it showed a trend of rise before fall. In the first quarter, with the adjustment to the purchase restriction policies in first-tier and second-tier cities, both sales and sales area increased significantly. However in the second quarter, with the concentrated release of consumer demand, the demand for housing for home upgrades increased and the sales index gradually declined.

It is expected that the real estate market in the PRC will focus on the general principles of guaranteeing delivery of housing, people’s livelihood and stability. The real estate policy will be more inclined to establish a new model for the development of the real estate industry, standardize the management of the real estate industry, and optimize the development structure of the industry, to ultimately resolve the risks of the real estate industry and the market. With the improvement of the macro environment, it is expected that the real estate market will gradually recover. However, due to the strong wait-and-see sentiment in the market, lack of consumer confidence and reduced purchasing power, the market recovery process will be slow in the short term.

– 24 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Given the current situation of the real estate market in the PRC and the forecast of future development, while the Company does not plan to significantly downsize the operation of its principal business, the Company will proactively make corresponding adjustments to its business strategy, adjust its marketing strategy in a timely manner, and seek market breakthroughs to revitalize its existing assets and accelerate sales collection, to improve the Company’s operating status from the sales side and improve the ability to deal with and resolve risks. In the meantime, the Company will seek financial support and partners through multiple channels to prevent and resolve the risk prevention and control of the Company.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

VALUATION STANDARDS

The valuation has been prepared in accordance with the HKIS Valuation Standards 2020 published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors effective from 31 December 2020 with reference to the International Valuation Standards published by the International Valuation Standards Council effective from 31 January 2022; and the requirements set out in the Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

VALUATION BASIS

Our valuation has been undertaken on the basis of Market Value. Market Value is defined as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the seller sells the property interests in the market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which could serve to affect the values of the property interests.

No allowances have been made for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property interests, nor for any expenses or taxations which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property interests are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect the values of the property interests.

As the property interests are held under long term land use rights, we have assumed that the owner has free and uninterrupted rights to use the property interests for the whole of the unexpired term of the land use rights.

– 27 –

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

When valuing the property interests to be disposed of by the Group, we have adopted Market Approach.

Market Approach is universally considered as the most accepted valuation approach for valuing most forms of property. This involves the analysis of recent market evidence of similar properties to compare with the subject under valuation. Each comparable is analysed on the basis of its unit rate; each attribute of the comparables is then compared with the subject and where there are any differences, the unit rate is adjusted in order to arrive at the appropriate unit rate for the subject. This is done by making percentage adjustments to the unit rate for various factors, such as time, location, building age, building quality and so on.

LAND TENURE AND TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have been provided with copies of documents in relation to the titles of the property interests. However, we have not scrutinized the original documents to verify ownership or to verify any amendments, which may not appear on the copies handed to us. We have relied to a considerable extent on information provided by the Group.

We have relied on the advices given by The PRC legal adviser of the Group, Shanxi Dingzheng Law Office, regarding the titles of the property interests in The PRC. We do not accept liability for any interpretation that we have placed on such information, which is more properly placed within the sphere of the legal adviser.

All legal documents disclosed in this letter, the valuation summary and the valuation certificates are for reference only. No responsibility is assumed for any legal matters concerning the legal titles to the property interests set out in this letter, the valuation summary and the valuation certificates.

INFORMATION SOURCES

We have relied to a considerable extent on information provided by the Group and the legal adviser, in respect of the titles of the property interests in The PRC. We have also accepted advice given to us on matters such as identification of the properties, particulars of occupancy, areas and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation are based on information contained in the documents provided to us and are, therefore, only approximations.

– 28 –

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

We have also been advised by the Group that no material factors or information have been omitted or withheld from information supplied and consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view. We believe that the assumptions used in preparing our valuation are reasonable and have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of information provided to us by the Group which is material to the valuation.

INSPECTION AND INVESTIGATIONS

The properties were inspected externally and internally. Although not all areas were accessible for viewing at the time of inspection, we have endeavoured to inspect all areas of the properties. Investigations were carried out as necessary. Our investigations have been conducted independently and without influence from any third party in any manner.

We have not tested any services of the properties and are therefore unable to report on their present conditions. We have not undertaken any structural surveys of the properties and are therefore unable to comment on the structural conditions. We have not carried out any investigations on site to determine the suitability of the ground conditions for any future developments. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be required.

We have not carried out any on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the properties but have assumed that the areas shown on the documents or deduced from the plans are correct. All documents and plans have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are therefore approximations.

  1. The general description and market information of the property are summarized below:

Location : The property is located at No. 2 Jinxihu North Road, Fucheng District, Mianyang, Sichuan Province, The PRC. Transportation : Mianyang Nanjiao Airport and Mianyang Railway Station are located approximately 22.1 kilometres and 12.0 kilometres away from the property respectively. Nature of Surrounding Area : The area is predominately a residential and high technology development area in Fucheng District.

  1. We have been provided with a legal opinion regarding the property by Shanxi Dingzheng Law Office, which contains, inter alia, the following:

  2. (a) Mianyang Chenxing Yazhi Real Estate Development Co., Limited has obtained the state-owned land use rights of the property in accordance with laws, and is the legal holder of the state-owned land use rights of the property.

  3. (b) Subject to the agreement of the mortgagee, Mianyang Chenxing Yazhi Real Estate Development Co., Limited can occupy, use, let, transfer, mortgage or by other means handle the relevant state-owned land use rights.

  4. (c) The state-owned land use rights of the property are subject to a mortgage. The mortgagee is Mianyang Xinhua Branch of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

  5. In the course of our valuation of gross development value of the property, we have considered and analysed residential flat, retail shop and carparking space sale comparables.

Considering that the proposed residential portion of the property valued comprises newly completed residential flats located in Fucheng District, we have identified and analysed four residential flat sale comparables with current offerings located in Fucheng District and completed within five years from the Valuation Date on an exhaustive basis. Hence the comparables adopted are relevant to the proposed residential portion of the property valued in terms of property type and location. The comparables adopted are completed within recent years, and thus are subject to similar building conditions as the proposed residential portion of the property. The following table shows the details of four residential flat sale comparables and the adopted adjustments:

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

The adjustments to the gross development value have been detailed below:

Gross development value RMB1,313,000,000
Adjustments:
Less marketing expense, agency fee and sales tax: Circa RMB90,600,000 The adjustment is based on 6.9% of the gross
development value.
Less outstanding construction cost: Circa RMB123,400,000 The adjustment is based on the outstanding construction
cost of circa RMB123,400,000 provided by the
Group.
Less contingencies and finance cost Circa RMB13,600,000 The contingencies are allowances in costs due to
unforeseeable matters and emergencies during the
construction process.
The finance cost is the cost of borrowing of the
construction cost. It is calculated on the basis of half
of the construction period since construction cost is
generally borrowed and settled periodically by stage
payments.
The adjustment is based on 5% of the outstanding
construction cost as the contingencies; and 5.70%
over half of the outstanding construction period of
0.25 years for the finance cost.
Less profit margin: Circa RMB52,000,000 This is the developer’s profit to be realised when
carrying out development. It forms a component of
the gross development value and thus it has to be
deducted from the gross development value to arrive
at the land value. It is an adjustment to the gross
development value and does not involve any forecast.
The adjustment is based on 5% of the total
development and land costs.
Less outstanding development period: Circa RMB14,200,000 This is the cost of time from the Valuation Date to the
expected completion date of construction works.
The adjustment is based on based on 5.75% over the
outstanding development period of 0.25 years.
