INTRODUCTION

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
All the conditions precedent under the Share Sale Deeds had been fulfilled and completion of the Disposal took place on 8 August 2022.
The purposes of this circular are to provide you with: (i) a letter from the Board containing further details of the Share Sale Deeds and the transactions respectively contemplated thereunder; and (ii) other information as required under the Listing Rules.
BACKGROUND
Prior to entering into of the Share Sale Deeds, the Group, with the primary intention of realising its entire Australian assets portfolio for immediate cash inflow, underwent an offer solicitation process (the “ Offer Solicitation Process ”) through its own business network and financial intermediaries, to seek for prospective buyers for its Australian assets.
The Offer Solicitation Process included systematic selection and screening procedures based on the following pre-set selection criteria to best serve the Group’s interests:
-
(i) preference shall be given to offer made for all of the Group’s assets in Australia, such that the Group would be able to dispose of these assets more efficiently;
-
(ii) preference shall be given to offer which is subject to less conditions precedent and whose conditions precedent are easier to fulfill, thus minimising completion risk;
-
(iii) preference shall be given to offer that would generate the most net cash inflow for the Group at completion; and
-
(iv) preference shall be given to offer proposition on terms and conditions which would be more manageable, and with the least exposure to claims by the buyer post completion.
Following selection, screening and further communications between potential purchasers and the Company, four formal offers were received, including the effective management buy-out offer from an entity controlled by Mr. Liaw (“ Mr. Liaw’s Offer ”). After considering the merits of all formal offers received, the Board was of the view that Mr. Liaw’s Offer was the most favourable to the Group for the following reasons and unanimously resolved to pursue Mr. Liaw’s Offer: (a) the purchaser would assume all the assets and liabilities of the APGA Group. The Group would not be required to repay the loans and liabilities in connection with its business and operations in Australia;
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
(b) the net cash proceeds receivable by the Group under Mr. Liaw’s Offer would be A$105 million, which was A$5 million less than the highest offer. However, the consideration under the highest offer was paid by instalments and payment of the second instalment was subject to unneglectable uncertainties. Besides, Mr. Liaw’s offer was the only offer which fulfilled all other three selection criteria as disclosed above;
-
(c) Mr. Liaw’s Offer was made not subject to the performance of any due diligence investigation, or any warranties or assurances on the business and operations of the APGA Group; and
-
(d) it was expected that no specific regulatory approval in Australia would be required for the transactions contemplated under Mr. Liaw’s Offer.
The terms of the APGA Deed and the Company A Deed were arrived at after further arm’s length negotiations between the Group and Mr. Liaw.
Pursuant to the APGA Deed, the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell, and Purchaser B has conditionally agreed to purchase, the APGA Shares, representing 49% of the issued share capital of APGA, at the consideration of A$1.00 (equivalent to approximately HK$5.41) in cash.
Pursuant to the Company A Deed, the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell, and Purchaser A has conditionally agreed to purchase, the Company A Shares, representing 100% of the issued share capital of Company A, at the consideration of A$1.00 (equivalent to approximately HK$5.41) in cash.
Summarised below are the principal terms of the Share Sale Deeds:

RESTRUCTURING OF THE SHAREHOLDER’S LOANS
As at 31 May 2022, the aggregate sum of the Shareholder’s Loans owed by APGA to the Vendor (including the principal amount and interest) was approximately A$384.6 million. As one of the conditions precedent to the completion of the Disposal pursuant to the Share Sale Deeds, the Vendor and the Disposal Group shall restructure the Shareholder’s Loans (the “ Shareholder’s Loans Restructuring ”), pursuant to which the entire Shareholder’s Loans shall be, in substance, assigned to Purchaser A by the Vendor and, in return, the Vendor shall receive the Relevant Amount in cash from APGA. Under the Shareholder’s Loan Restructuring, the funding of the Relevant Amount secured by APGA for the repayment of the Shareholder’s Loans is arranged by the Purchaser(s) and borrowed by Purchaser A, Company A and/or APGA (as the case may be) under bank facilities or other arrangements providing financial accommodation on terms and conditions satisfactory to Purchaser A.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Shareholder’s Loans Restructuring had completed. The Group had received total cash proceeds of A$105,000,002 (equivalent to approximately HK$568.1 million) under the Disposal, resulting from the settlement of the Shareholder’s Loans, together with the disposal by the Vendor of its 49% equity interest in APGA and 100% equity interest in Company A at the total consideration of A$2 (equivalent to approximately HK$10.82).
– 10 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
BASIS OF THE CONSIDERATION
Prior to entering into the Share Sale Deeds, the Group has engaged an independent valuer to conduct a valuation on 100% of the equity interest in APGA as at 31 March 2022 (the “ Valuation ”) (Note 1) , being the date of Valuation, on the basis that the Shareholder’s Loans are excluded from being treated as liabilities of APGA since the Shareholder’s Loans will be, in substance, assigned to Purchaser A upon the Disposal pursuant to the Shareholder’s Loans Restructuring.
Having considered that (i) it had been the intention of the Group and Mr. Liaw for the sale and purchase of the entirety of the Group’s Australian assets since Mr. Liaw’s Offer was made and the total offer price was decided; (ii) the commercial decision of the Group was to realise its entire Australian assets portfolio for immediate cash inflow, while by disposing of 49% equity interest in APGA instead of 100% would not be subject to government, regulatory or other approvals in Australia and thereby saving time and reducing the completion risk; (iii) to reflect the above intention, by operation of the terms of the APGA Shareholders’ Deed, despite remaining as a 51% shareholder of APGA, the Group will not have control over the composition of the board of APGA or over the affairs and operations of APGA after completion of the Disposal, as further elaborated in the section headed “The APGA Shareholders’ Deed” below; and (iv) being a passive shareholder of APGA after completion of the Disposal will not have any financial impact on the Group, as the Group will no longer have capital commitment or any onerous obligation in APGA, while the chance of receiving surplus funds from APGA’s distributable profits is minimal based on current assessment of the financial performance of APGA Group, the Directors are of the view that the Disposal is a de facto disposal of the entire interests in APGA by the Group, and therefore comparing the total cash proceeds receivable by the Group under the Disposal against the valuation of 100% of the equity interest of APGA (instead of 49% of the equity interest of APGA) under the APGA Deed is appropriate.
On the basis that the Valuation which was carried out on the basis of the market value (the “ Market Value ”) (Note 2) and the estimated realisation price (the “ ERP ”) (Note 3) on 100% of the equity interest in APGA and the Shareholder’s Loans are excluded from being treated as liabilities of APGA since the Shareholder’s Loans will be, in substance, assigned to the Purchaser A upon the Disposal, the Market Value and the ERP are approximately A$169 million and A$132 million, respectively. The total cash proceeds received by the Group under the Disposal of A$105,000,002, comprising the consideration for the sale and purchase of the APGA Shares and Company A Shares and the repayment of the Shareholder’s Loans, represents a discount of approximately 37.9% to the Market Value and a discount of approximately 20.5% to the ERP. The Board considered that the ERP is a more appropriate benchmark to measure the total cash proceeds against with, as the Disposal is effectively a sale of all the property projects of the APGA Group on hand in one transaction at the same time and attractive concession on the ERP price would be expected by bulk buyers. The independent valuer is of the view that based on their experience, such discount in the transaction price is likely to range from 10-30% of the ERP/assessed in one line value depending on the type and quality of property and market condition in the Australia property market. Given that (i) the property projects of the APGA Group on hand comprise of approximately 300 apartment units and three pieces of land; and (ii) the sale of all of the above properties in a single transaction, the Board considered a quick sale discount of this magnitude to the ERP is not unreasonable.
– 11 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Notes:
-
(1) Pursuant to Rule 5.07 of the Listing Rules, the valuation report on 100% of the equity interest in APGA as at 30 June 2022 is also included in part (ii)(a) of Appendix II to this circular for reference.
-
(2) 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 negotiation, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
-
(3) ERP is defined as the estimated value for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date assuming a shorter period, considered less than standard market period, in which to achieve a sale.
The ERP approach focuses on “in one line” assessment, especially for the three completed projects of the APGA Group currently on hand with residual stocks (for details, please refer to the paragraph headed “Information on the Disposal Group – Corporate information – APGA” below). In the ERP approach, it is assumed all the residual stock units are to be liquidated not only in a period shorter than the standard marketing period but also in one bulk transaction, therefore a further discount. For example, the three completed projects as referred to above involving over 300 apartment units need to be sold to one buyer in current market via one bulk transaction as soon as possible, which is much harder to achieve than taking a standard selling period to sell apartment individually to many different buyers.
With market condition constraints, sales evidence in the particular neighbourhood, and industry experience and other factors considered, the property valuer has reasonably assumed that the completed projects are based on a 5 to 23 months sell-down period due to the volume of residual stock and for the projects under development are 1.5 to 3 months. These assumptions are inputs in the hypothetical feasibility model or cash flow model to return the ERP value.
COMPLETION
The APGA Disposal
Pursuant to the APGA Deed, completion of the APGA Disposal shall take place (i) on the later of: (a) 29 July 2022; and (b) the date which is five (5) Business Days after all of the conditions above have been satisfied or waived (as the case may be); and (ii) one hour after completion of the Company A Disposal has occurred in accordance with the terms of the Company A Deed.
The Company A Disposal
Pursuant to the Company A Deed, completion of the Company A Disposal shall take place on the later of: (i) 29 July 2022; and (ii) the date which is five (5) Business Days after all of the conditions above have been satisfied or waived (as the case may be). In connection with the above schedule of completion, if the Company A Deed is terminated, or completion occurs in accordance with the terms of the Company A Deed but completion of the APGA Deed does not occur in accordance with the terms of the APGA Deed on the date of completion, then: (i) completion under the Company A Deed is taken not to have occurred; (ii) the Vendor must promptly procure payment of the Relevant Amount to Purchaser B; and (iii) the parties must take all steps within their control to unwind each step taken prior to completion under the Shareholder’s Loans Restructuring and other related documents.
As all of the conditions under the APGA Deed and Company A Deed had been fulfilled, completion of the Disposal took place on 8 August 2022 and the Vendor had received the consideration amount from the Purchasers and the Relevant Amount from APGA.

After completion of the Disposal, the Company indirectly holds 51% of the issued share capital in APGA and ceases to hold any interest in Company A. By operation of the terms of the APGA Shareholders’ Deed which was entered into among the Vendor, Purchaser B and APGA as summarised in the section headed “The APGA Shareholders’ Deed” below, the Vendor, despite its holding of 51% of the issued share capital of APGA after completion, has only been left with residual power in the affairs and management decisions of the APGA Group and no longer have control of the APGA Group. Accordingly, the Disposal Group has ceased to be subsidiaries of the Company and therefore their results will no longer be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group.
The 51% of the issued share capital of APGA will be treated as interests in associates in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. The auditors of the Company have agreed on the above accounting treatment that the Company does not have control over APGA Group by virtue of the operation of the terms of the APGA Shareholders’ Deed despite holding 51% of the issued shares of APGA.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no plan to sell the remaining equity interest in APGA.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
- (h) Certain matters of APGA require approval by 75% of votes cast by its shareholders, including but not limited to issuance or grant of right to issue any securities, variation of rights attaching to any securities, alteration of share capital, alteration of the constitution, material change of business or cessation of business, winding up of APGA, and appointment of administrator and receiver or liquidator.
Disposal of shares
A shareholder may only dispose of its shares in APGA if:
-
(a) each other shareholder consents (in its absolute discretion) to such disposal;
-
(b) a deadlock situation arises at the board level or the shareholders’ level, where a resolution requiring affirmative votes of 75% or more cast by the directors, or unanimous or special resolution of shareholders (as the case may be) cannot be passed in accordance with the terms of the APGA Shareholders’ Deed and cannot be resolved by the mechanism provided therein, Purchaser B or its nominee may give each shareholder notice offering to purchase all of that shareholder’s shares pursuant to the terms of the APGA Shareholders’ Deed;
-
(c) if an event of default as described in the APGA Shareholders’ Deed occurs in relation to a shareholder other than Purchaser B, Purchaser B or its nominee(s) may purchase all of that shareholder’s shares, each pursuant to the terms of the APGA Shareholders’ Deed; or
-
(d) it notifies APGA and the other shareholders its intention to transfer all or part of its shares with details of the proposed transfer, the other shareholders may exercise their right to acquire all or part of such sale shares pro rata to their shareholding in APGA. At any time within 90 business days after completion of the above offer process, the selling shareholder may offer all of the sale shares to a qualified buyer on terms no more favourable to the qualified buyer than the terms set out in the sale notice to the other shareholders. “Qualified buyer” means (i) if the selling shareholder is Purchaser B, any person; and (ii) if the selling shareholder is a shareholder other than Purchaser B, a person which Purchaser B has approved in its absolute discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not apply if the disposal has been consented to by all other shareholders pursuant to (a) above.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Dividends and distributions
As at the Effective Date, the dividend policy of APGA is to distribute to its shareholders surplus funds from its distributable profits, subject to: (a) the recognition of profit and availability of cash for distribution; (b) any banking or other funding requirements by which it is bound from time to time; (c) the operating and working capital requirements, including for funding payment of taxes; and (d) the requirements of applicable laws.
Funding
Each shareholder agrees it is not required to provide to, or on behalf of, any company within the APGA Group any funds of any nature including by way of loans or subscription for securities; or any form of financial accommodation or guarantee or any other similar commitment or comfort.
Implications of the APGA Shareholders’ Deed
By operation of the terms of the APGA Shareholders’ Deed as disclosed in the paragraph headed “Board composition and management” above, in particular:
-
(a) given that the board of APGA has a maximum of four directors and a minimum of three directors, and Purchaser B and the Vendor each have the right to appoint two directors, the requisite 75% approval threshold of the board for certain actions of APGA means that any resolution related to such matters will require unanimous vote of all directors appointed by both parties, notwithstanding that the Vendor has a simple majority of the issued shares of APGA;
-
(b) certain matters of APGA require approval by 75% of votes cast by its shareholders which means that unanimous approval of the Vendor and Purchaser B is required given their 51:49 shareholding proportion; and
-
(c) given the 51:49 shareholding proportion, the board composition and the voting mechanisms as set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) above,
the Vendor, despite its holding of 51% of the issued share capital of APGA after completion of the Disposal, would not have control over the composition of the board of APGA or over the affairs and operations of APGA. Accordingly, the APGA Group has ceased to be subsidiaries of the Company and therefore its results will no longer be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Purchaser A is a proprietary company limited by shares registered in New South Wales under the laws of Australia on 21 March 2022. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the ultimate beneficial owner of Purchaser A was Blue Mako Trust, a discretionary family trust of Mr. Liaw, interested in 100% of the issued shares of Purchaser A.
The Company confirmed that during the Offer Solicitation Process and up to the date of entering into of the Share Sale Deeds, the Purchasers and their representatives, including Mr. Liaw, had not been placed in a more advantageous position than the other bidders. To that end, Mr. Liaw has abstained from and has not been involved in any decision making processes of the Group (including at the level of the Disposal Group) and has not been privy to any confidential information of the Group (including at the level of the Disposal Group) in respect of (i) the offer solicitation, review and selection process; and (ii) the deliberations and evaluations by the management of the Company on the terms and conditions of the Disposal, the structure of the Disposal Group and the effects on the Group.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The Shareholder’s Loans Restructuring would result in the entire Shareholder’s Loans owed by APGA to the Vendor being, in substance, assigned to Purchaser A for a payment of A$105 million to the Vendor. The total cash proceeds received by the Vendor under the Disposal is A$105,000,002, comprising the settlement of A$105 million of the Shareholder’s Loans funded by Purchaser A and the aggregate cash consideration of A$2 under the Share Sale Deeds.
Based on the aggregate cash consideration of A$2 under the Share Sale Deeds and taking into account the effect of the Shareholder’s Loans Restructuring, the Company is expected to record a loss before related transaction costs from the Disposal of approximately A$245.9 million, which is represented by the difference between the total proceeds received by the Group under the Disposal of A$105,000,002 and the carrying value of the Disposal Group of approximately A$350.9 million, representing the sum of (i) the net liability value of the Disposal Group attributable to the Group of approximately A$33.7 million as at 31 May 2022; and (ii) the Shareholder’s Loans of approximately A$384.6 million as at 31 May 2022. The actual loss in connection with the Disposal may be different from the above and will be determined based on the financial position of the Disposal Group and the final amount of outstanding Shareholder’s Loans at completion of the Disposal, and is subject to final audit.
– 22 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The net proceeds from the Disposal after deducting transaction costs attributable to the Disposal are expected to be approximately A$103.9 million, which is intended to be used in the following manner: (i) approximately 15% will be allocated to supporting the daily operating expenses of the Group’s offshore operations; (ii) approximately 25% will be allocated to paying the professional fees and administrative expenses in relation to the potential debt restructuring plan of the Group, which primarily includes the service fees of the financial advisers and Hong Kong and foreign legal advisers of the Company and its creditors, which are budgeted for 18 months; and (iii) approximately 60% will be allocated to restructuring resource in accordance with the potential debt restructuring plan.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL
The independent non-executive Directors have considered the following factors after discussing with, and taking into account the view of, an independent financial adviser:
1. Liquidity issue of the Group
The Group has been adversely affected by the negative real estate market in the PRC, the relevant national macro-control policies and the difficulty of the companies within the real estate sector in accessing typical financing channels in the offshore capital markets since the second half of 2021. Consequently, the Group is currently in urgent need of additional capital to meet its financial obligations and cope with its liquidity issue.
Non-payment events
As disclosed in the Company’s announcement of 2 December 2021, the Company has encountered credit ratings downgrades by rating agencies, leading to occurrence of certain trigger events under certain offshore financing arrangements under which the Company and/or members of the Group are a borrower or a guarantor. The Company has (i) received notice from creditors in respect of financings that have an aggregate principal amount of approximately USD651.2 million under which the Company and/or members of the Group are a borrower or a guarantor demanding payment as a result of the ratings downgrades; and (ii) the Company has not made such payments as at the Latest Practicable Date or reached an agreement with respect to alternative payment arrangements with such creditors.
As further disclosed in the Company’s announcement of 28 December 2021, the Group was served a writ of summons and an indorsement of claim by certain creditors in relation to a debt in the amount of approximately USD131.0 million, together with interest accrued and costs. Such claim arose from the alleged events of default under a credit agreement triggered by certain non-payment events disclosed in the Company’s announcement of 2 December 2021.
– 23 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Decline in property contracted sales performance
The financial condition of the Group is further worsened by the slowing down of the Group’s business, which is attributable to the continued market downturn and the dampening of purchasers’ confidence in the PRC property market in the recent year. As disclosed in the Company’s announcement of 19 January 2022, during the year ended 31 December 2021, the Group recorded unaudited property contracted sales of approximately RMB121.03 billion, representing an approximate decline of 9.0% as compared to the prior year. As further disclosed in the Company’s announcement of 10 August 2022, the Group’s accumulated unaudited property contracted sales for January to July 2022 was approximately RMB16.01 billion in total, representing a decline of approximately 79.3% as compared to the same period in the prior year. Therefore, revenue of the Group since the second half of 2021 has been adversely affected as the Group has been in difficulty to realise its inventories and dispose of its assets on reasonable terms and prices.
Deterioration in financial position
Based on the preliminary assessment of the Company’s financial information which is subject to audit, as at 31 December 2021, there had been significant decrease in the bank and cash balances of the Group, which was attributable to (a) the slowing down in contracted sales of and cash collection by the Group due to the negative real estate market and (b) repayment of bank and other borrowings and senior notes and bonds during the second half of 2021.
In view of the above, the Group may experience difficulty in repaying its short-term liabilities when they become due. Nevertheless, the Group is already in short of cash to pay the professional fees and administrative expenses in relation to the potential debt restructuring plan of the Group, which is expected to increase further in the near future.
The above incidents and factors have seriously weakened the Group’s overall financial position and reduced its ability to access financing since the second half of 2021.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. Relief from on-going funding of the APGA Group
The APGA Group, as a newly established developer in Australia, has been able to deliver its projects as scheduled in the past two years, and is yet to deliver stable financial performance.
Property developments in Australia generally have a long development cycle. The APGA Group has substantial inventories available for sale, but the timing of their realisation is uncertain due to the market circumstances and financial weaknesses of the Group. As such, the completion risk is greater.
Of the Properties that the APGA Group currently has on hand, three are still under development, and therefore additional funding will be required to complete construction of these projects into saleable inventories. Due to liquidity issue, it is expected that the Group will no longer be able to fund the APGA Group in the near future. As the APGA Group has two construction loans from independent lenders in respect of some of its projects, the lack of new funding may eventually lead to the occurrence of an event of default or event of review under relevant construction loan agreements of the APGA Group, including failure to meeting the project completion timelines, cessation of the project company to carry on its business, or breach of relevant project documents by the project company. Under such circumstances, the lenders in respect of these construction loan agreements will be entitled to demand repayment of the loans, which will inevitably create further debt burden on the Group. The Disposal would provide a quick relief to the Group from the on-going funding of the three projects to completion and avoid the risk of default under the relevant construction loan agreements.
3. Total cash proceeds receivable by the Group
As disclosed in the preceding paragraphs, the Group has engaged an independent valuer to conduct a valuation on 100% of the equity interest in APGA as at 31 March 2022 on the basis of the Market Value and the ERP and the basis that the Shareholder’s Loans are excluded from being treated as liabilities of APGA since the Shareholder’s Loans would be, in substance, assigned to Purchaser A upon the Disposal pursuant to the Shareholder’s Loans Restructuring.
In valuing the 100% equity interest in APGA, the equity valuer adopted the summation method of the cost approach to value the assets and liabilities of the APGA Group. Among the assets of the APGA Group, the Properties are the most substantial assets, and the Company has engaged the property valuer in Australia to value the Properties as at 31 March 2022 for the purpose of incorporation into the equity valuation to assess the reasonableness of the total cash proceeds receivable by the Group under the Disposal in the amount of A$105,000,002.
– 25 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Based on the Valuation, the Market Value and the ERP are approximately A$169 million and A$132 million, respectively. The total cash proceeds of A$105,000,002 received by the Group, comprising the consideration for the sale and purchase of the APGA Shares and Company A Shares and the repayment of the Shareholder’s Loans, represents a discount of approximately 37.9% to the Market Value and a discount of approximately 20.5% to the ERP.
The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, have reviewed the valuation report, including the valuation basis, valuation methodologies and assumptions applied in the Valuation, and considered it appropriate to rely on the Valuation in assessing whether the total cash proceeds receivable by the Group under the Disposal would be a fair and reasonable consideration for the Disposal. The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, considered that the ERP is a more appropriate benchmark to measure the total cash proceeds against with, as the Disposal is effectively a sale of all the Properties of the APGA Group in one transaction at the same time, and that the discount to the ERP of approximately 20.5% would be acceptable for the following reasons:
-
(i) Given that (a) the Properties of the APGA Group on hand comprise of approximately 300 apartment units and three pieces of land; and (b) the sale of all the Properties in a single transaction, a quick sale discount to the ERP is not unreasonable, and attractive concession on the ERP price would be expected by bulk buyers; and
-
(ii) the ERP and the Market Value of 100% equity interest in APGA included APGA Group’s deferred tax assets of approximately A$97 million arising from accumulated tax losses and deferred tax liabilities of approximately A$63.7 million arising from temporary differences between the values of assets or liabilities in the balance sheet under accounting bases and their tax bases. Whether or not the APGA Group will be able to utilise the tax losses is uncertain as it depends on whether the APGA Group will have taxable profit in the future. Deferred tax liabilities, however, are future payment obligations in respect of taxes that are owed but are not due to be paid until a future date. Due to their respective natures, it is uncertain as to when, and if at all, the APGA Group would be able to realise the deferred tax assets. In this light, if one is to exclude all deferred tax assets value from the ERP of APGA, the downward adjustment would be up to A$97 million, resulting in an adjusted ERP of A$35 million only, much lower than the proceeds of A$105 million.
– 26 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In order to improve its liquidity and obtain financial resources to meet the financial needs of the Group, the Company has been actively seeking for potential purchasers in respect of its PRC and offshore assets on terms which are in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders taken as a whole. The Disposal is part of such initiative. Notwithstanding that the Company would record a loss on the Disposal of approximately A$245.9 million, which is significant in magnitude in the context of the Group’s total investment in the APGA Group,
-
(i) if the Group were to continue with its property development projects in Australia, the Group would need to inject further funding to support the APGA Group before the APGA Group would independently generate sufficient cashflows to meet its own needs, failing which, the Group would be subject to the risk of default under the relevant construction loan agreements;
-
(ii) the offer from Mr. Liaw is already the most favourable offer among the offers received by the Group in the Offer Solicitation Process; and
-
(iii) it appears that the Disposal would be the best option on hand to help alleviate the Group’s current liquidity issue.
Having made prudent assessments on and considered all the circumstances and the factors described above as a whole, the Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, are of the view that: (i) it would be beneficial for the Company and its stakeholders (including the Shareholders) as a whole to pursue the Disposal; (ii) the significant loss on the Disposal would be unavoidable; and (iii) the Disposal, including the total cash proceeds received by the Group under the Disposal, is on normal commercial terms, is fair and reasonable and is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, after having made all reasonable enquiries, the ultimate beneficial owner of the Purchasers is a discretionary family trust of Mr. Liaw, who is a director of certain companies within the APGA Group and hence a connected person of the Company at subsidiary level. Each of the Purchasers is an associate of Mr. Liaw and thus a connected person of the Company at subsidiary level under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Disposal constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
– 27 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Given that (i) the Purchasers are connected persons of the Company at the subsidiary level; (ii) the Board has approved the Share Sale Deeds and the Disposal; and (iii) all the independent non-executive Directors have confirmed that the terms of the Share Sale Deeds are fair and reasonable, and that the Disposal is on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, the Disposal is only subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, and is exempt from the circular, independent financial advice and shareholders’ approval requirements under Rule 14A.101 of the Listing Rules.
Nonetheless, as one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated in accordance with Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Share Sale Deeds, on an aggregate basis, is more than 25% but all of them are less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction of the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
None of the Directors have any material interest in the Share Sale Deeds and the transactions contemplated thereunder and none of them abstained from voting on the relevant Board resolutions.
WRITTEN SHAREHOLDER’S APPROVAL
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, after having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder or their respective associates has any material interest in the Share Sale Deeds and thus no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for approval of the Share Sale Deeds and the Disposal.
As at the date of the Share Sale Deeds and the Latest Practicable Date, Joy Pacific directly and indirectly holds a total of 1,660,925,625 Shares, representing approximately 56.01% of the total number of issued shares of the Company. On 23 June 2022, the Company obtained the irrevocable and unconditional written approval from Joy Pacific for the Share Sale Deeds and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Accordingly, such written approval is accepted in lieu of holding a general meeting pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

– 30 –
APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
Since December 2021, the Group has not repaid any principal and interest instalment of senior notes and certain bank and other borrowings with repayment dates and maturity dates fall dues. As at 31 July 2022, the Group has failed to repay (i) USD919 million, equivalent to RMB6,199 million, of senior notes including principal and interest instalment with respective maturity dates due in January 2022 and (ii) certain bank and other borrowings with respective maturity dates due on or before 31 July 2022.
The event of non-payments on senior notes and certain offshore bank and other borrowings resulted events of default or cross-default under other offshore financial indebtedness of the Group. As at 31 July 2022, other than above-mentioned senior notes and bank and other borrowings, the Group has offshore financial indebtedness amounted RMB21,982 million with default or cross-default clauses which includes RMB3,895 million of bank and other borrowings and RMB18,087 million of senior notes.
Such conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In preparing the working capital forecast for the Group for the 12 months from the date of this circular, the Group was unable to obtain any legally binding agreements including: (i) written extension agreements with revised repayment schedule with relevant lenders in respect of overdue bank and other borrowings and senior notes; (ii) written agreements with relevant lenders in respect of senior notes and offshore financial indebtedness that they will not exercise their rights to demand immediate repayment of the relevant bank and other borrowings and senior notes prior to their scheduled contractual repayment dates, as triggered by cross-default derived from the non-payment of bank and other borrowings and senior notes; (iii) confirmations on the renewal of existing loans which are yet due but will be due for repayment within 12 months from the date of the circular. As such, based on the existing default/cross-default events occurred, the Group was unable to confirm that it would have sufficient working capital for its present requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular as required under paragraph 30 of Appendix 1B to the Listing Rules. The Group has the following plans to ensure that it would have sufficient working capital for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular:
-
(i) The Group will continue to implement measures to ease its liquidity issue through active negotiations with senior notes holders and also lenders, especially in respect of the offshore financial indebtedness, with a view to reach agreement on the revised repayment schedule. In particular:
-
(a) The Group has constantly maintained active communication with the relevant banks and financial institutions to negotiate and restructure its offshore indebtedness which includes senior notes, syndicated facilities, bilateral facilities, unsecured financings and secured financings;

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
-
(b) The Group has entered into contractual arrangements with certain onshore financial institutions to extend the maturity of existing onshore financing arrangements of amounted RMB22,016 million; and
-
(c) The Group has constantly maintained active communication with the relevant banks and financial institutions to negotiate the maturity date of certain onshore financial financing arrangements amounted RMB20,000 million.
The Group has also appointed financial advisers to assess the Group’s capital structure and to facilitate the negotiation process with the senior notes holders and lenders;
-
(ii) The Group will continue to take active measures to control administrative costs and maintain containment of capital expenditures. Compared with 31 December 2021, (a) the headcount of the Group has decreased by 36% up to date of this circular and the Directors foresee the YoY of headcount will decrease by 40%; (b) the average staff cost of the Group up to date of this circular has decreased by 30% and the Directors foresee the YoY of staff cost will decrease by 35%; and (c) the Directors foresee the YoY of overhead expenses will decrease by 40%; and

Taking into account the financial resources available to the Group, including the internally generated funds, the net proceeds from the Disposal and the existing borrowings, and based on the assumptions that the Group will be able to renew repayment schedules of bank and other borrowings and senior notes as forecast and the relevant lenders of the existing bank and other borrowings and senior note holders will not exercise their rights to demand immediate repayment of the relevant borrowings prior to their scheduled contractual repayment dates, as triggered by cross-default derived from the non-payment of senior notes and bank and other borrowings, in the absence of unforeseeable circumstances, the Directors, after due and careful consideration, are of the opinion that the Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this circular.
In the event that none of the above plans could be effectively implemented, nor could it become successful, the Group will not have sufficient working capital for at least the next twelve months from the date of this circular. The Company will consider and seek for other appropriate alternative plan(s), including but not limited to potential equity or debt fund raising exercise, in order to ensure that the Group will have sufficient working capital. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company when alternative plan(s) is/are implemented in the future.

APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
(D) FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP
The Company has been facing liquidity pressures and difficulty in accessing typical financing channels amid the negative real estate market in the PRC and the relevant national macro-control policies put in place since 2021. To improve its liquidity and obtain financing to meet the financial needs of the Group, the Company has been actively seeking for potential purchasers in respect of its PRC and offshore assets on terms which are in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders taken as a whole. The Disposal is part of such initiative.
The APGA Group, as a newly established developer in Australia, has been able to deliver its projects as scheduled in the past two years, and is yet to deliver stable financial performance. If it were given more time, it might be able to ride over to become a mature developer with more stabilised revenue and profitability. However, the Group’s liquidity issue does not allow it to plough in additional funding to nurture the APGA Group further. The Group’s urgency for cash warrants the realisation of its Australian assets.
The Company is expected to record a loss on the Disposal of approximately A$245.9 million, which is significant in magnitude in the context of the Group’s total investment in the Disposal Group. However, as discussed above, if the Group were to continue with its projects in Australia, the Group would need to inject further funding to support the Disposal Group before the Disposal Group would independently generate sufficient cashflows to meet its own needs. In the circumstances, it appears that the Disposal would be the best option on hand to help alleviate the Group’s current liquidity crunch with immediate cash of A$103.9 million. The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) therefore considers that the resultant significant loss on disposal would be unavoidable.
Having made prudent assessments on the above and considered the prevailing market conditions, the Directors are of the view that it would be beneficial for the Company and its stakeholders (including the Shareholders) as a whole to pursue the Disposal and generate liquidity for the Group. The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) is further of the view that the terms and conditions (including the consideration) of the Share Sale Deeds and the APGA Shareholders’ Deed are on normal commercial terms, which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The net proceeds from the Disposal after deducting transaction costs attributable to the Disposal are expected to be approximately A$103.9 million, which are intended to be used as general working capital of the Group and meeting the broader liquidity needs of the Group, including continuing to address the Group’s financial situations. The Company has been and will continue to be in active communication with its creditors.

Dear Sirs,
VALUATION OF 100% EQUITY INTEREST IN AOYUAN PROPERTY GROUP (AUSTRALIA) PTY LTD
In accordance with your instructions, we have undertaken a valuation on behalf of Aoyuan Property Group (International) Limited (the “ Company ”) to determine the Market Value (“ Market Value ”) and Estimated Realisable Price (“ ERP ”) (as defined below) of 100% equity interest (the “ Equity ”) in Aoyuan Property Group (Australia) Pty Ltd (the “ Target ”) as at 31 March 2022 (the “ Valuation Date ”).
1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE TARGET
The Target is an investment holding company. Its subsidiaries and affiliates are principally engaged in property development, holding and sales in Australia (together with the Target as the “ Group ”). The Target is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

VALUATION REPORTS
2. PURPOSE OF VALUATION AND STANDARD OF VALUE
The purpose of this valuation is to express an independent opinion of the Market Value and ERP of 100% equity interest in the Target as at the Valuation Date stated above for the purpose of your internal reference and potential public disclosure. We understand that the Company is contemplating to dispose of the Equity (the “ Contemplated Disposal ”), therefore certain special assumptions are required for your internal reference purpose in determining the Market Value and ERP of the Equity.
Our valuation is prepared in accordance with the International Valuation Standards (“ IVS ”) published by International Valuation Standards Council.
According to International Valuation Standards (“ IVS ”), Market Value is defined as intended to mean “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”.
For your internal reference purpose, ERP is defined as “the estimated value for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date assuming a short period, considered less than standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale”.
We acknowledge that this report may be made available to the Company for public circulation purpose. We however assume no responsibility whatsoever to any person other than the Company in respect of, or arising out of, the contents of this report. If others choose to rely in any way on the contents of this report, they do so entirely at their own risk.
3. SOURCES OF INFORMATION
For valuation purpose, we have relied on the following major documents and information in the valuation analysis. Certain documents and information have been provided by the Company. Other information is extracted from public sources. We have discussed with the management of the Company to assess the reasonableness and fairness of the documents and information adopted by us. While we have satisfied ourselves with the reasonableness and fairness of the documents and information adopted, we expressly disclaim any responsibility or liability for the accuracy of the said documents and information. The major documents and information include but not limited to the following:
-
Background information of the Target’s business operations and relevant corporate information;
-
Historical financial information of the Group;
-
The economic outlook in general and the specific economic environment and elements affecting the Group, industry and market; and

VALUATION REPORTS

4. VALUATION METHODOLOGY AND BASIS
In conducting the valuation, we have considered three generally accepted approaches, including income approach, market approach and cost approach. Each of these approaches is appropriate in one or more circumstances, and sometimes, two or more approaches may be used together. Whether to adopt a particular approach will be determined by the specific characteristics of the subject of the valuation and the commonly adopted practice.
4.1 Market approach
According to the IVS, the market approach provides an indication of value by comparing the asset with identical or comparable (that is similar) assets for which price information is available.
In the business valuation context, the market approach valuation shall analyse recent transaction(s) in the equity interest of the valuation subject and/or comparable companies and benchmark the valuation subject with the selected comparable(s).
4.2 Cost approach
According to the IVS, the cost approach provides an indication of value using the economic principle that a buyer will pay no more for an asset than the cost to obtain an asset of equal utility, whether by purchase or by construction, unless undue time, inconvenience, risk or other factors are involved. The approach provides an indication of value by calculating the current replacement or reproduction cost of an asset and making deductions for physical deterioration and all other relevant forms of obsolescence.
In the business valuation context, cost approach is often presented as summation method, in which value of the business entity is derived from the sum of value of its existing assets less the value of its liabilities.
– 37 –
APPENDIX II
VALUATION REPORTS
4.3 Income approach
According to the IVS, the income approach provides an indication of value by converting future cash flow to a single current value. Under the income approach, the value of an asset is determined by reference to the value of income, cash flow or cost savings generated by the asset.
In the business valuation context, under income approach, value of the business entity is derived primarily from the present value of its future cash flow, typically through the use of discounted cash flow method.
5. VALUATION ANALYSES OF THE TARGET
The guideline transaction method of market approach is not adopted because there is no comparable transactions matching the characteristics of the Target as a whole, where each of the property held within the Group has specific characteristics that cannot be reflected by a transaction of equity in another company. The guideline company method of market approach using comparable companies is not adopted in this valuation for similar reason as it is difficult to identify appropriate comparable valuation multiples to reflect the characteristics of the properties held in the Group.
The income approach is not adopted as no detailed future cash flow forecast is available from the Target or the Company for this valuation purpose.
The summation method of the cost approach is adopted for the Target as an investment holding company as the value of an investment holding company comes from the value of its investment holdings. In the case of the Target, its investments through its subsidiaries are primarily property development companies, their value is mainly driven by the property development projects, hence the use of summation method under cost approach is appropriate to reflect each of their value. We would estimate the value of the investments held using appropriate approach and adopt their values to the line item of long-term investments on the Target’s statement of financial position.

The negative values above are primarily driven by the amount due to the Target by the respective subsidiary and the mark down of property development/inventory. We have adopted the special assumption for your internal reference purpose that these negative values are to be reflected to the line item of investment in subsidiaries in the Target’s statement of financial position as is, in spite of the typical floor value of equity being nil owing to the limited liability nature of a limited company.
Item 3) Deferred tax assets
For the valuation of deferred tax asset of the Target, it is the after-tax losses allowed to carry forward to offset with the future tax benefits. The Target is of the opinion that there will be profits assessable for tax in future for the utilization of the deferred tax asset, the validity of this view is confirmed by the recognition of deferred tax asset on the audited financial statement, therefore we have adopted the book value in the management account as their Market Value and ERP as at the Valuation Date.
Item 4) Intangible assets
For the valuation of the intangible asset of the Target, it is related to certain non-refundable preliminary expenses paid. Given the nature as a non-monetary asset with no further economic benefit, this amount is written off for the valuation purpose.

VALUATION REPORTS
Item 12) Other long term liabilities – Grand First
As at the Valuation Date, the outstanding principal and interest of the Target due to Grand First (“ GF Loans ”) is at the sum of AUD381,852,487, with various maturities and interest rate ranging from 0% to 12%.
For your internal reference purpose pertain to the Contemplated Disposal, you have instructed us to adopt the special assumption that the other long-term liabilities – Grand First (the “ GF Loans ”) are to be immediately due as at the Valuation Date. Therefore, the value of the GF Loans is assumed to be AUD381.85 million for the purpose of this valuation, in lieu of the book value of AUD349 million which has reflected time value of the original repayment schedule.
On the other hand, as we understand from you that the GF Loans shall be assigned to the buyer in the Contemplated Disposal, you have instructed us to adopt the special assumption to remove the GF Loans from liabilities of the Target and treat it as equity for the purpose of our valuation of the Equity. We have therefore excluded the GF Loans in reporting the value of the Equity based on your instruction and special assumption.
Item 13) Other long term liabilities – GIC
Major terms and conditions of the GIC Loans are extracted from the facility agreement (“ Facility Agreement ”) between the Target, Gresham Property Funds Management Limited as trustee of GPF No.8 (i.e. “GIC” for the purpose of this report) dated 20 December 2021 and set out as follows.

10. LIMITING CONDITIONS

No opinion is intended to be expressed for matters which require legal or other specialised expertise, which is beyond what is customarily expected on valuers’ capacity or expertise. We are not in a position to, nor have been instructed to, comment on the lawfulness of the businesses and the Target’s possession of the assets. In the course of our valuation, we have assumed that the assets have obtained all required registration and are freely transferable in the market without any significant obstacles.
We have been provided with extracts of copies of relevant documents and financial information relating to the Target. We have relied upon the aforesaid information and certain data from various databases in forming our opinion of the Market Value. However, we have not inspected the original documents to ascertain any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us.

APPENDIX II
VALUATION REPORTS
The conclusion of value is based on accepted valuation procedures and practices that rely substantially on the use of numerous assumptions and the consideration of many uncertainties, not all of which can be easily quantified or ascertained. Furthermore, the assumptions adopted are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, the Target and us. While we have exercised our professional knowledge and cautions in adopting assumptions and other relevant key factors in our valuation, those factors and assumptions are still vulnerable to the change of the business, economic environment, competitive uncertainties or any other abrupt alternations of external factors. We must emphasise that the realisation of any prospective financial information set out within our report is dependent on the continuing validity of the assumptions on which it is based. We accept no responsibility for the realisation of any prospective financial information. Actual results are likely to be different from those shown in the prospective financial information because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and the differences may be material.
In accordance with our standard practice, we must state that this report and valuation is for the purpose of incorporation into the public announcement of the Company and the use only of the party to whom it is addressed and no responsibility is accepted to any third party for the whole or any part of its contents.
Neither the whole, nor any part of this report and valuation, nor any reference thereto may be included in any documents, circular or statement without our written approval of the form and context in which it will appear.
We shall be under no obligation to update our report in respect of events or information which come to our attention subsequent to the date of this report. Notwithstanding this, we reserve the right, should we consider it necessary, to revise our valuation in light of any information which existed at the Valuation Date but which becomes known to us subsequent to the date of this report.
We shall not testify or attend in court due to this exercise, with reference to the valuation described herein. Should there be any further services required, the corresponding expenses and provision of services will be reimbursed from the Company and such additional work may incur without prior notification.
11. MANAGEMENT CONFIRMATION OF FACTS
A draft of this report and our calculation has been sent to management of the Company. They have reviewed and orally confirmed to us that facts as stated in this report and calculation are accurate in all material respects and that they are not aware of any material matters relevant to our engagement which have been excluded.

VALUATION REPORTS
12. CONFIRMATION OF INDEPENDENCE
We hereby confirm that we have neither present nor prospective interests in the Company, the Target and their respective holding companies, subsidiaries and associated companies, or the value reported herein.
13. OPINION OF VALUE
Based on the method employed and analysis stated above and in the appendices, we are of the opinion that the value of the Equity as at the Valuation Date for the two value bases defined above is estimated as follows:
| AUD million | Market Value | ERP |
|---|---|---|
| The Equity | 169 | 132 |
For your reference purpose, if we do not adopt the special assumption of removing the GF Loans from liabilities of the Target and do not treat it as equity for the purpose of our valuation of the Equity, the balance of GF Loans at AUD381.85 million will have to be deducted from the above, resulting in a negative amount and a net liability position for the Target upon the adjustments above. Due to the limited liability nature of the Target, the lower bound of Equity is zero, therefore Market Value and the ERP of the Equity would be nil without such special assumption.
Please refer to Appendix II for the calculation.
The outbreak of the COVID-19, declared by the World Health Organisation as a ‘Global Pandemic’ on the 11 March 2020, has impacted many aspects of daily life and the global economy. Our valuation of 100% equity interest in the Target is therefore reported as being subject to ‘material valuation uncertainty’. Consequently, less certainty – and a higher degree of caution – should be attached to our valuation than would normally be the case. For the avoidance of doubt, the inclusion of the ‘material valuation uncertainty’ declaration above does not mean that the valuation cannot be relied upon. Rather, the declaration has been included to ensure transparency of the fact that – in the current extraordinary circumstances – less certainty can be attached to the valuation than would otherwise be the case. The material uncertainty clause is to serve as a precaution and does not invalidate the valuation. Given the unknown future impact that COVID-19 might have on the financial market and the difficulty in differentiating between short term impacts and long-term structural changes, we recommend that you keep the valuation contained within this report under frequent review.

Re: Valuation Summary Letter Property: 34 Apartments – “Adela”, 1a Gloucester Avenue, Burwood, NSW, Australia
We refer to instructions issued by Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd dated 5 May 2022 to provide a summary report of the valuation providing the Market Value “In One Line” of 34 Apartments – “Adela”, 1a Gloucester Avenue, Burwood, NSW, Australia. We have prepared a full and comprehensive Valuation Report for the property in accordance with our instructions from Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd for internal reporting purposes dated 31 March 2022.
This valuation summary letter (“summary letter”) has been prepared for part of a submission to The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Rules governing the listing of securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited) to be issued by China Aoyuan Group Limited as responsible entity for the sale of the property assessed.
Our full valuation report valuation report has been prepared in accordance with the Australian Property Institute’s Current Valuation Standard and Guidance Notes, RICS Valuation - Global Standards 2020 together with the Australian National Supplement effective August 2019 and International Valuation Standards (IVS).
This summary letter should be read in conjunction with the Valuation Report (prepared as at 31 March 2022) as we note this summary letter does not include all essential information and the assumptions which are detailed in our Valuation Report. The Valuation Report provides a detailed description of the property; its current configuration, location, assumptions impacting value and local market characteristics.
An extract from the valuation report comprising the Critical Assumptions is annexed to this summary letter.
We have assessed the valuation based on the Freehold Title of the property.
Market Value as defined by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and as adopted by the Australian Property Institute (API) is as follows:
“Market Value is 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.”
We have assessed the “In One Line” market value of the property in accordance with the Market Value definition referred to above. Furthermore, the Sale in One Line Definition is
‘Sale in one line’ is the value of the gross realisation of the individual completed lots sold in a single transaction less a discount that takes into consideration legal and selling costs, profit and risk, holding costs and acquisition costs.
– 57 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
In addition, we have been requested to assess an Estimated Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale.
We confirm that the valuer does not have a pecuniary interest that would conflict with a proper valuation of the interest in the property.
Savills Valuations Pty Ltd (“Savills”) charged a professional fee for producing the valuation report.
Material Assumptions
- The assessed “In One Line Value” via Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the units, sale rate for apartment stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances.
Valuation Summary
| Interest Valued | 100% Freehold |
|---|---|
| Title Details | Various lots - SP103737 |
| Registered Owner | Prime Burwood Pty Ltd. |
| Zoning | B4 Mixed Use under the Burwood Local Environmental Plan 2012. |
| Location | The subject property is located within Burwood Sydney’s Inner West, approximately 10 kilometres west of the Sydney Central Business District (CBD) and is within the Local Government Area administered by the Burwood Council. More particularly the subject property is located approximately 800 metres to the north west of the Burwood Train station and Central Business District. The development is bounded by Victoria Street to the north, Park Road to the west and Gloucester Avenue to the east. Surrounding development primarily low and medium residential dwellings, with retail properties including Westfield Burwood located to the east of the development. The site is in close proximity of Burwood Park. The development is well serviced by public transport with Burwood Train Station located to the west of the subject offering train and bus services. |
| Property Description | The parent development comprises the “Adela” project, a four building development with a total of 103 apartments, communal roof top areas and basement parking at Burwood completed in September 2021. The apartments subject to assessment comprise 34 vacant apartments configured as 3 x 1 bedroom apartments, 28 x 2 bedroom apartments and 3 x 3 bedroom apartments.

We also note that the subject property and surrounding immediate development as at the date of valuation, is not subject to an “Environmental Audit Overlay” under the Burwood City Planning Scheme. A visual site inspection has not revealed any obvious pollution or contamination. Nevertheless, we wish to advise that we are not qualified to provide advice on the physical condition of the land and we are not |

Valuation Methodology
The valuation is determined on the basis that the property, the Title thereto and its use is not affected by any matter other than that mentioned in the full valuation report. Furthermore, it has been assumed that reasonable resources are available in negotiating the sale and exposing the property to the market.
Given the nature of the subject property, we have primarily relied upon the Direct Comparison Approach to assess the value of the individual apartments and the Hypothetical Development Approach to assess the In One line Value.
This approach utilises our assessment of the estimated ‘total gross realisation’ value from which we have deducted selling costs and other costs including holding costs, finance costs and interest, and our adopted development (profit and risk) margin, to arrive at an estimate of the In One Line Value.
To ascertain the value of the individual apartments we have relied upon the below comparable sales:

| Developers Margin | Profit and Risk expectations for a project of this nature would normally vary from 10% to 15%. In adopting an appropriate Profit and Risk factor for the subject project, we have had regard to the following factors: � The sale rate considered achievable for the apartments moving forward. � Current market conditions. � The adopted pricing of the apartments. � The quality of the apartments compared to the market. � Buyer pool in this capital value bracket. � New and modern apartment building. � The size and related capital value of the development. � Analysis of comparable developments. � The Inner West location and current market conditions. Having regard to the above, we have adopted a Profit and Risk Factor of 12.58%, being to the midpoint in the range assuming the new quality of apartments and the Inner West location. |
| GST Liability | We have been advised of the eligibility to adopt the Margin Rule (7%) for valuation purposes. Our calculations on this basis are as follows: Residential Realisation Including GST $39,104,000 Less GST $2,558,206 Gross Realisation Excluding GST $36,545,794 Note: The GST liability has been utilised for the purpose of the residual cash flow analysis and is an indicative figure only. |
Feasibility Conclusions
Our calculations result in an “In One Line” value of $30,800,000 including GST and $28,700,000 excluding GST (rounded). Our feasibility analysis reflects an Internal Rate of Return of 38.58% (including interest), and a net development profit of approximately $4,369,385 all of which appear to be reasonable for a development of this nature.

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
Critical Assumptions
| Market Movement | � This valuation is current as at the date of valuation and may change as a result of either external or specific factors affecting the property. We do not accept liability for losses arising from such subsequent changes in value. We will not accept liability where this valuation is relied upon after the expiration of three months from the date of valuation, or earlier if there are significant alterations to conditions affecting the value of the property. |
|---|---|
| Physical | � The valuer does not hold itself out to be an expert in building materials and has been unable to identify from a visual inspection whether the ‘cladding’ was constructed using compliant or non-compliant building products (i.e., combustible polyethylene core aluminium composite panels). � This valuation report has been prepared: (a) on the assumption that the building materials used, as well as the application and installation of those materials, comply with all approvals, regulatory requirements and codes. (b) without consideration to any diminution in value that may arise due to the identification of non- compliant building products within the property development. Should this not be the case, we reserve the right to review our valuation. The valuer strongly advises the reader to investigate the nature of the building components and satisfy itself as to the potential risks and costs which could be incurred should the existing building components have to be remedied, replaced or adapted. |
| In One Line Value | � The assessed “In One Line Value” via Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the units, sale rate for apartment stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances. |
| GST | � That any reliant party has taken all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the GST remittance changes from 1 July 2018 i.e., the Federal Government's requirement that purchasers of new residential premises will remit the GST directly to the ATO as part of settlement. � We have been provided with written confirmation of the eligibility of using the Margin Scheme by Aoyuan Property Group (International) Limited. The Margin Value to be applied is proportionate to 7% of the Gross Realisable Value. |
| CGT | � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the foreign resident capital gains tax withholding scheme changes under the Federal Budget 2017, under which: Australian resident vendors of real property of $750,000 or more must provide a Clearance Certificate issued by the ATO to a purchaser on settlement of the sale, to avoid the purchaser withholding 12.5% of the purchase price and remitting it as withholding tax to the ATO; and Foreign resident vendors will see 12.5% of the purchase price being withheld and remitted to the ATO, unless the ATO approves a Variation. |
| Gross Realisation | � The Gross Realisation assessment reflects an orderly sale of the apartments over time and is not reflective of an “In One Line Value” which has been separately assessed. |
| EPBC Act | � That the subject property is not impacted in any way by matters covered by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), including, but not limited to, listed threatened species and ecological communities or migratory species protected under international agreements. |
| Occupation Certificate | � A part Occupation Certificate (OC20-047) was certified on 22 October 2021 by Metropolitan Building Approvals for the construction of residential flat building consisting of 4 towers and containing 103 units and two levels of basement car parking. The occupation certificate excluded all rooftop and barbeque areas. � We assume there are not outstanding works/defects that will affect the marketing of the apartments. |
| Body Corporate | � We have not undertaken a search of the body corporate records and we assume that there is no current payment liability on the body corporate in relation to capital expenditure programs. � We also assume that there are no indications from the minutes of meetings held that there are any areas of structural (or other) concern that may give rise to a special levy to be borne by the owners. We recommend any reliant party verify the position of the Body Corporate and any areas of concern prior to advancing funds. |
| Inspection | � We note that we were not provided access to all individual units, however we did inspect each unit type. For the purpose of this valuation, we have assumed that these unseen units are of an identical nature in terms of finishes to the inspected apartments. |
| Contamination | � We assume that the subject property is free from elevated levels of contaminants. |
– 67 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| Encumbrances, Restrictions, Caveats etc. |
� Our valuation is on the basis that the property is free of encumbrances, restrictions, caveats, or other impediments of an onerous nature which could affect value. Our valuation has been undertaken on the basis the property is free of mortgages, charges and other financial liens. |
|---|---|
| Marketing Period | � We have assumed a standard marketing period for the subject apartments is likely to be 10 months given the market reluctance to purchase the remaining stock in the subject complex. � The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 7 months and assumes a higher marketing budget and a more conservative value/price to attract buyers within a shorter sale period. |
| General | � The sales information has been obtained from a number of sources including RP Data and registered government sales transfers. Whilst we understand the information to be reliable, we are unable to guarantee the accuracy. � Unless otherwise set out in the Proposal, Savills is not aware of any conflict of interest in accepting your instruction to value the Property and the valuer set out in the Proposal is in a position to provide an objective and unbiased valuation. � We confirm that the valuer undertaking this valuation is considered to have the appropriate level of skills and competence to complete the valuation to a professional standard, taking into account the property type. � We recommend that the reliant party undertake a search of the titles as Savills has only searched a sample lot to ensure there are no notations on title that may impact value. � That all apartments have unencumbered title and that any outstanding development contributions have been paid with nothing inhibiting the potential realisable sale of each unit individually or in aggregate. |
Should any of the assumptions in our full valuation report be incorrect or inaccurate, then we reserve the right to amend the valuation, the report and this summary report.

This summary letter should be read in conjunction with the Valuation Report (prepared as at 31 March 2022) as we note this summary letter does not include all essential information and the assumptions which are detailed in our Valuation Report. The Valuation Report provides a detailed description of the property; its current configuration, location, assumptions impacting value and local market characteristics.
An extract from the valuation report comprising the Critical Assumptions is annexed to this summary letter.
We have assessed the valuation based on the Freehold Title of the property.
Market Value as defined by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and as adopted by the Australian Property Institute (API) is as follows:
“Market Value is 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.”
We have assessed the “In One Line” market value of the property in accordance with the Market Value definition referred to above. Furthermore, the Sale in One Line Definition is
– 69 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
‘Sale in one line’ is the value of the gross realisation of the individual completed lots sold in a single transaction less a discount that takes into consideration legal and selling costs, profit and risk, holding costs and acquisition costs.
In addition, we have been requested to assess an Estimated Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale.
We confirm that the valuer does not have a pecuniary interest that would conflict with a proper valuation of the interest in the property.
Savills Valuations Pty Ltd (“Savills”) charged a professional fee for producing the valuation report.

| Environmental Comment (contd) | The subject property is not contained within the EPA’s “List of Issued Certificates and Statements of Environmental Audit” based on our recent online search. We also note that the subject property and surrounding immediate development as at the date of valuation, is not subject to an “Environmental Audit Overlay” under the Ku-Ring-Gai Planning Scheme. A visual site inspection has not revealed any obvious pollution or contamination. Nevertheless, we wish to advise that we are not qualified to provide advice on the physical condition of the land, and we are not aware of any geotechnical and/or environmental defects with the land. Further, we have not sighted any environmental audits or geotechnical reports, which suggest site contamination or defects. This valuation has therefore been made on the assumption that there are no actual or potential contamination issues affecting: - � The value or marketing of the property; or � The site. |

Valuation Methodology
We have assessed the valuation on the basis of Freehold Title.
The valuation is determined on the basis that the property, the Title thereto and its use is not affected by any matter other than that mentioned in the full valuation report. Furthermore, it has been assumed that reasonable resources are available in negotiating the sale and exposing the property to the market. Given the nature of the subject property, we have primarily relied upon the Direct Comparison Approach to assess the value of the individual apartments and the Hypothetical Development Approach to assess the In One line Value.
This approach utilises our assessment of the estimated ‘total gross realisation’ value from which we have deducted selling costs and other costs including holding costs, finance costs and interest, and our adopted development (profit and risk) margin, to arrive at an estimate of the In One Line Value.
To ascertain the value of the individual apartments we have relied upon the below comparable sales:
Subject Complex -2020-2021

Max Area **(m2) ** |

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
Critical Assumptions
| Market Movement | � This valuation is current as at the date of valuation and may change as a result of either external or specific factors affecting the property. We do not accept liability for losses arising from such subsequent changes in value. We will not accept liability where this valuation is relied upon after the expiration of three months from the date of valuation, or earlier if there are significant alterations to conditions affecting the value of the property. |
|---|---|
| Physical | � The valuer does not hold itself out to be an expert in building materials and has been unable to identify from a visual inspection whether the ‘cladding’ was constructed using compliant or non-compliant building products (i.e., combustible polyethylene core aluminium composite panels). � This valuation report has been prepared: (a) on the assumption that the building materials used, as well as the application and installation of those materials, comply with all approvals, regulatory requirements and codes. (b) without consideration to any diminution in value that may arise due to the identification of non- compliant building products within the property development. Should this not be the case, we reserve the right to review our valuation. The valuer strongly advises the reader to investigate the nature of the building components and satisfy itself as to the potential risks and costs which could be incurred should the existing building components have to be remedied, replaced or adapted. |
| In One Line Value | � The assessed “In One Line Value” via Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the units, sale rate for apartment stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances. |
| GST | � That any reliant party has taken all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the GST remittance changes from 1 July 2018 i.e., the Federal Government's requirement that purchasers of new residential premises will remit the GST directly to the ATO as part of settlement. � We have not been provided with independent Accounting or Legal advice regarding the eligibility of using the margin scheme for this development. As this falls outside the scope of our investigations, we have applied the full GST impost in our feasibilities and to our ‘as if complete’ values on a GST exclusive basis. |
| CGT | � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the foreign resident capital gains tax withholding scheme changes under the Federal Budget 2017, under which: Australian resident vendors of real property of $750,000 or more must provide a Clearance Certificate issued by the ATO to a purchaser on settlement of the sale, to avoid the purchaser withholding 12.5% of the purchase price and remitting it as withholding tax to the ATO; and Foreign resident vendors will see 12.5% of the purchase price being withheld and remitted to the ATO, unless the ATO approves a Variation. |
| Gross Realisation | � The Gross Realisation assessment reflects an orderly sale of the apartments over time and is not reflective of an “In One Line Value” which has been separately assessed. |
| EPBC Act | � That the subject property is not impacted in any way by matters covered by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), including, but not limited to, listed threatened species and ecological communities or migratory species protected under international agreements. |
| Occupation Certificate | � A Final Occupation Certificate (No.9695-02-2020-FOC) was certified on 3 July 2020 by AE&D Pty Ltd for a (DA0180/14) mixed use development containing 3 buildings, 147 units, retail space, basement parking and landscaping work and modification MOD0006/19. � We assume there are not outstanding works/defects that will affect the marketing of the apartments. |
| Body Corporate | � We have not undertaken a search of the body corporate records and we assume that there is no current payment liability on the body corporate in relation to capital expenditure programs. � We also assume that there are no indications from the minutes of meetings held that there are any areas of structural (or other) concern that may give rise to a special levy to be borne by the owners. We recommend any reliant party verify the position of the Body Corporate and any areas of concern prior to advancing funds. |
| Inspection | � We note that we were not provided access to all individual units, however we did inspect each unit type. For the purpose of this valuation, we have assumed that these unseen units are of an identical nature in terms of finishes to the inspected apartments. |
| Contamination | � We assume that the subject property is free from elevated levels of contaminants. |
– 78 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| Encumbrances, Restrictions, Caveats etc. |
� Our valuation is on the basis that the property is free of encumbrances, restrictions, caveats, or other impediments of an onerous nature which could affect value. Our valuation has been undertaken on the basis the property is free of mortgages, charges and other financial liens. |
|---|---|
| Marketing Period | � We have assumed a standard marketing period for the subject apartments is likely to be 12 months given the market reluctance to purchase the remaining stock in the subject complex. � The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 5 months and assumes a higher marketing budget and a more conservative value/price to attract buyers within a shorter sale period. |
| General | � The sales information has been obtained from a number of sources including RP Data and registered government sales transfers. Whilst we understand the information to be reliable, we are unable to guarantee the accuracy. � Unless otherwise set out in the Proposal, Savills is not aware of any conflict of interest in accepting your instruction to value the Property and the valuer set out in the Proposal is in a position to provide an objective and unbiased valuation. � We confirm that the valuer undertaking this valuation is considered to have the appropriate level of skills and competence to complete the valuation to a professional standard, taking into account the property type. � We recommend that the reliant party undertake a search of the titles as Savills has only searched a sample lot to ensure there are no notations on title that may impact value. � That all apartments have unencumbered title and that any outstanding development contributions have been paid with nothing inhibiting the potential realisable sale of each unit individually or in aggregate. |
Should any of the assumptions in our full valuation report be incorrect or inaccurate, then we reserve the right to amend the valuation, the report and this summary report.

Re: Valuation Summary Letter Property: “Ashbourne”, 141 Yarrawa Road and 32 Lovelle Street, Moss Vale NSW, Australia
We refer to instructions issued by Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd dated 5 May 2022 to provide a summary report of the valuation providing the Market Value of “Ashbourne”, 141 Yarrawa Road and 32 Lovelle Street, Moss Vale NSW, Australia. We have prepared a full and comprehensive Valuation Report for the property in accordance with our instructions from Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd for internal reporting purposes dated 31 March 2022.
This valuation summary letter (“summary letter”) has been prepared for part of a submission to The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Rules governing the listing of securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited) to be issued by China Aoyuan Group Limited as responsible entity for the sale of the property assessed.
Our full valuation report valuation report has been prepared in accordance with the Australian Property Institute’s Current Valuation Standard and Guidance Notes, RICS Valuation - Global Standards 2020 together with the Australian National Supplement effective August 2019 and International Valuation Standards (IVS).
This summary letter should be read in conjunction with the Valuation Report (prepared as at 31 March 2022) as we note this summary letter does not include all essential information and the assumptions which are detailed in our Valuation Report. The Valuation Report provides a detailed description of the property; its current configuration, location, assumptions impacting value and local market characteristics.
An extract from the valuation report comprising the Critical Assumptions is annexed to this summary letter.
We have assessed the valuation based on the Freehold Title of the property.
Market Value as defined by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and as adopted by the Australian Property Institute (API) is as follows:
“Market Value is 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.”
In addition, we have been requested to assess an Estimated Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale.

We confirm that the valuer does not have a pecuniary interest that would conflict with a proper valuation of the interest in the property.
Savills Valuations Pty Ltd (“Savills”) charges a professional fee for producing valuation reports, and the fee paid for the Valuation Report and this Summary Letter was $20,500AUD exclusive of GST.
Material Assumptions
- The assessed land value via the Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the status of approvals, civil construction costs, associated development costs, interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the completed units, adopted pre-sales prior to construction, sale rate for completed stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed land value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances.

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| Environmental Comment | The present use of the subject property for agricultural purposes is classified as a “potentially contaminating activity, industry or land use” as defined under the API’s Australia Real Property Guidance Note 1 – Land Contamination Issues (Appendix 2) and is considered a medium risk use in regard to potential for site contamination. The subject property is not contained within the EPA’s “List of Issued Certificates and Statements of Environmental Audit” based on our recent online search. We also note that the subject property and surrounding immediate development as at the date of valuation, is not subject to an “Environmental Audit Overlay” under the Wingecarribee City Planning Scheme. A visual site inspection has not revealed any obvious pollution or contamination. Nevertheless, we wish to advise that we are not qualified to provide advice on the physical condition of the land, and we are not aware of any geotechnical and/or environmental defects with the land. Further, we have not sighted any environmental audits or geotechnical reports, which suggest site contamination or defects. This valuation has therefore been made on the assumption that there are no actual or potential contamination issues affecting: - � The value or marketing of the property; or � The site. Verification that the property is free from contamination and has not been affected by pollutants of any kind may be obtained from a suitably qualified environmental expert. Should we subsequently be advised of any contamination and/or defects we reserve the right to reassess our valuation. We do note we have been advised by the Instructing Party that the Environmental reports have been prepared which suggest that past grazing activities may have resulted in agrochemicals or heavy metal contamination, however the risk is low. We have not sighted these reports. Direct Comparison and Hypothetical Feasibility 21 May 2022 31 March 2022 $93,000,000 $86,700,000 |

Valuation Methodology
We have assessed the valuation on the basis of Freehold Title.
The valuation is determined on the basis that the property, the Title thereto and its use is not affected by any matter other than that mentioned in the full valuation report. Furthermore, it has been assumed that reasonable resources are available in negotiating the sale and exposing the property to the market. Given the nature of the subject property, we have primarily relied upon the Direct Comparison Approach to assess the value of the individual allotments and the Direct Comparison Approach and Hypothetical Development Approach to assess the current Market Value of the site.
The Hypothetical Development Approach utilises our assessment of the estimated ‘total gross realisation’ value from which we have deducted selling costs and other costs including holding costs, finance costs and interest, and our adopted development (profit and risk) margin, to arrive at an estimate of the Residual Land Value.

In adopting an appropriate Profit and Risk factor for the subject project, we have had regard to the following factors: � Sales in Stage 1 indicate market acceptance of pricing. � A third party Civil Contract has not been executed � Costs have been verified by a QS � The size and related capital value of the development � Analysis of comparable developments � The regional location Having regard to the above, we have adopted a Profit and Risk Factor of 25.85%, being the approximate mid-point of the adopted range. |

| GST Liability | We have adopted the General Tax Rule Scheme for valuation purpose follows: Residential Realisation Including GST Less GST Residential Realisation Excluding GST Plus Retail Gross Realisation Excluding GST Note: The GST liability has been utilised for the purpose of the residu figure only. |
s. Our calculations on this basis are as $492,852,140 $44,804,740 $448,047,400 $904,500 $448,951,900 al cash flow analysis and is an indicative |
Feasibility Conclusions
Our calculations result in a residual value of $93,193,750 excluding GST, which we have rounded to $93,000,000 excluding GST for practical valuation purposes. Our feasibility analysis reflects an Internal Rate of Return of 9.22% including interest, and a net development profit of approximately $92,228,532 all of which appear to be reasonable for a development of this nature.
We have assumed the standard marketing period for a development of this scale with a project duration of circa 10 years is 3-6 months to allow a prospective purchaser to undertake the required due diligence to inform purchase decisions.
The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 1.5-3 months and assumes full due diligence would not be able to be undertaken which would be reflected in a more conservative value.
For the purposes of an assessment based on these adopted assumptions we have increased the Profit and Risk allowance in our residual land value analysis to 29% which indicated a residual land value of $86,700,000 which has been adopted under this valuation scenario

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
Critical Assumptions
| Market Movement | � This valuation is current as at the date of valuation and may change as a result of either external or specific factors affecting the property. We do not accept liability for losses arising from such subsequent changes in value. We will not accept liability where this valuation is relied upon after the expiration of three months from the date of valuation, or earlier if there are significant alterations to conditions affecting the value of the property. � This valuation is conditional upon development being undertaken in the immediate future and that the site will not be “landbanked”. The “As Is” value is current as at the date of valuation only. It is not suitable for long term passive lending. If the site needs to be retained “As Is” for an extended period of time, it is likely that a lower site value may apply, or it may result after accounting for holding costs and changes in market environment in addition to any variation to construction costs. |
|---|---|
| Physical | � The valuer does not hold itself out to be an expert in building materials and has been unable to identify from a visual inspection of the property whether the ‘cladding’ constructed on the Sales Office or contained within any existing improvements has used compliant or non-compliant building products (i.e., combustible polyethylene core aluminium composite panels). A Certificate of Compliance and/or Certification of building materials for the property has not been sighted nor confirmed by the valuer. This valuation report has been prepared: (a) on the assumption that the building materials used, as well as the application and installation of those materials, comply with all approvals, regulatory requirements and codes. (b) without consideration to any diminution in value that may arise due to the identification of non- compliant building products within the property/development. Should this not be the case, we reserve the right to review our valuation. The valuer strongly advises the reader to investigate the nature of the existing building components and satisfy itself as to the potential risks and costs which could be incurred should the existing/new/future/currently proposed building component have to be remedied, replaced or adapted. |
| Construction Costs | � The civil construction estimate provided by Rider Levett Bucknell including VPA works and main roadworks (excluding GST and Contingency) of $146,052,240 equates to $135,989 per proposed residential allotment, which is considered to be within acceptable market parameters and has been adopted in our valuation. � Additional allowances have been made for Design Fees, Council Contributions, Contingency and Development Management. � We note some minor adjustments to lot numbers per stage have been provided by Aoyuan as well as updated Professional Fees. � Construction and development of the project can be undertaken for the amount described above, in accordance with the documents provided by Rider Levett Bucknell and Aoyuan. We have adopted the construction and development costs provided as part of our instruction. Should the supplied costs be proven to be inadequate to deliver the project, Savills reserves the right to review this valuation accordingly. � We are not Quantity Surveyors nor are we Consulting Engineers. We have relied upon cost estimates provided and on the basis that the cost provided and adopted are accurate. We recommend the engagement of an independent Quantity Surveyor to confirm same. Should the cost estimate differ to that adopted within, then this report should be referred back to the Valuer for comment and accordingly we reserve the right to amend the assessment within |
| Land Value | � The assessed land value via the Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the status of approvals, civil construction costs, associated development costs, interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the completed units, adopted pre-sales prior to construction, sale rate for completed stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed land value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances. |
| GST | � We have not been provided with independent Accounting or Legal advice regarding the eligibility of using the margin scheme for this development. As this falls outside the scope of our investigations, we have applied the full GST impost in our feasibilities and to our ‘as if complete’ values on a GST exclusive basis. As a result, GST on the development costs will be assessed at 10% to be remitted two months later, while GST on gross realisations will be assessed at 1/11th. All costs within our cash flow model are quoted, where applicable, excluding GST. � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the GST remittance changes from 1 July 2018 i.e., the Federal Government's requirement that purchasers of new residential premises will remit the GST directly to the ATO as part of settlement. |
– 94 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| CGT | � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the foreign resident capital gains tax withholding scheme changes under the Federal Budget 2017, under which: Australian resident vendors of real property of $750,000 or more must provide a Clearance Certificate issued by the ATO to a purchaser on settlement of the sale, to avoid the purchaser withholding 12.5% of the purchase price and remitting it as withholding tax to the ATO; and Foreign resident vendors will see 12.5% of the purchase price being withheld and remitted to the ATO, unless the ATO approves a Variation. |
|---|---|
| Construction Timeframe | � We have adopted a construction period for the project of circa 104 months, based on the advice provided by Aoyuan and our assumed take up of lots. We have assumed this to be an accurate forecast and have adopted this within our Residual Cash Flow analysis. |
| “As If Complete” Assessment |
� The “As If Complete” assessment is the estimated market value of the proposed development as detailed in this report on the assumption that all construction has been satisfactorily completed in all respects at the date of this report. Because of time lag and unknown future market conditions the valuation reflects the valuer’s view of the market conditions existing at the date of valuation and does not purport to predict future market conditions and the value at the actual completion date. |
| Construction Quality & Compliance |
� The “As If Complete” assessment is provided on the basis that the proposed improvements will be constructed in a tradesman like manner using new, quality materials and having regard to modern building techniques. Our valuation assumes that: � A detailed report of the structure and service installations of the building once completed would not reveal any defects requiring significant expenditure. � The building will comply with all relevant statutory requirements in respect of matters such as health, building and fire safety regulations, and will be built in accordance with the provisions of the Building Code of Australia. |
| EPBC Act | � That the subject property is not impacted in any way by matters covered by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), including, but not limited to, listed threatened species and ecological communities or migratory species protected under international agreements. |
| Development Approvals (Including Plans & Specifications) |
� The site does not hold any formal Development Approval; however, we have been provided with concept plans and drawings which have been relied upon when undertaking our Hypothetical Development exercise. Should there be any subsequent changes to the concept plans or onerous condition implied by the subsequent Development Approval, this valuation must not be relied upon before first consulting Savills to reassess any effect on the valuation. � We note the Masterplan has been approved by Wingecarribee Council and is awaiting approval by the Southern Regional Planning Panel who is considering aspects of the Masterplan which will then lead to a Voluntary Planning Agreement (VPA). |
| Contamination | � We assume that the subject property is free from elevated levels of contaminants and have therefore made no allowance in our valuation for site remediation. |
| Encumbrances, Restrictions, Caveats etc. |
� Our valuation is on the basis that the property is free of encumbrances, restrictions, caveats, or other impediments of an onerous nature which could affect value. Our valuation has been undertaken on the basis the property is free of mortgages, charges and other financial liens. |
| Marketing Period | � We have assumed the standard marketing period for a development of this scale with a project duration of circa 10 years is 3-6 months to allow a prospective purchaser to undertake the required due diligence to inform purchase decisions. � The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 1.5-3 months and assumes full due diligence would not be able to be undertaken which would be reflected in a more conservative value. |
| General | � The sales information has been obtained from a number of sources including RP Data and registered government sales transfers. Whilst we understand the information to be reliable, we are unable to guarantee the accuracy. � Unless otherwise set out in the Proposal, Savills is not aware of any conflict of interest in accepting your instruction to value the Property and the valuer set out in the Proposal is in a position to provide an objective and unbiased valuation. � We confirm that the valuer undertaking this valuation is considered to have the appropriate level of skills and competence to complete the valuation to a professional standard, taking into account the property type. |
Should any of the assumptions in our full valuation report be incorrect or inaccurate, then we reserve the right to amend the valuation, the report and this summary report.

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| Environmental Comment. | Given the age of the property, asbestos risk is present. Accordingly, we recommend that this risk be investigated and reviewed prior to reliance on this report. The present and past use of the subject property for automotive type uses is classified as a “potentially contaminating activity, industry or land use” as defined under the API’s Australia Real Property Guidance Note 1 – Land Contamination Issues (Appendix 2) and is considered a high risk use in regard to potential for site contamination. The subject property is not contained within the EPA’s “List of Issued Certificates and Statements of Environmental Audit” based on our recent online search. We also note that the subject property and surrounding immediate development as at the date of valuation, is not subject to an “Environmental Audit Overlay” under the George River City Planning Scheme. We have been provided with a Remediation Action Plan prepared by ERM dated August 2020. The report notes the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons, naphthalene, volatile organic compounds and heavy metals as well as underground storage tanks. We have assumed, as instructed that the costs provided allow for remediation of the site. Savills does not have expertise in environmental or contamination risk. Given the risks of contamination from both the current and past uses of the site, it is recommended that any reliant party satisfy itself as to the risks and potential liabilities it is exposed to in relation to contamination of the site, and potential offsite migration of contaminants. |

Valuation Methodology
We have assessed the valuation on the basis of Freehold Title.
The valuation is determined on the basis that the property, the Title thereto and its use is not affected by any matter other than that mentioned in the full valuation report. Furthermore, it has been assumed that reasonable resources are available in negotiating the sale and exposing the property to the market.
Given the nature of the subject property, we have relied upon the Direct Comparison Approach to assess the value of the individual apartments and the Capitalisation and Discounted Cash Flow methods to ascertain the value of the retail and hotel components.
The Direct Comparison Approach and Hypothetical Development Approach have been utilised to assess the current Market Value of the site.
The Hypothetical Development Approach utilises our assessment of the estimated ‘total gross realisation’ value from which we have deducted selling costs and other costs including holding costs, finance costs and interest, and our adopted development (profit and risk) margin, to arrive at an estimate of the Residual Land Value.
To ascertain the value of the individual apartments we have relied upon the below comparable sales:

Our Hypothetical Development Assessment is detailed below:
| ur Hypothetical Development | Assessment is detailed below: |
|---|---|
| Input | Amount / Comments |
| Gross Realisation | Residential - $244,341,000 including GST Retail - $46,500,000 excluding GST Hotel - $22,000,000 excluding GST |
| Rate of Sale | Having regard to the existing presales we have assumed that the remaining unsold apartments will be sold ‘off the plan’ during the construction period and within 18 months post construction. We have assumed the hotel and retail components will transact on practical completion. |
| Selling Costs Marketing Costs Legal Costs |
Residential – 2.2% Retail – 1.5% Hotel – 1.5%$ Residential – $2,500 per apartment Retail – $30,000 Hotel – $30,000 Residential – $750 per apartment Retail – $25,000 Hotel – $25,000 |
| Site Acquisition Costs Legal Fees on Acquisition |
7.2% of purchase price $150,000 |
| Construction/Development Cost | $137,864,337 excluding GST (as per Section 9 of this Report) |
| Interest Rate Application Fee |
5.00% per annum (on the basis of 100% debt funding and including line fees) $400,000 |
| Construction Period | 22 months |
| Holding Costs | Approximately $380,000 per annum (including Council rates and Land Tax) |
| Developers Margin | Profit and Risk expectations for a project of this nature would normally vary from 20% to 25%. In adopting an appropriate Profit and Risk factor for the subject project, we have had regard to the following factors: � Limited pre-sales to date. � No pre-commitment for the retail or hotel space. � A third party Building Contract has not been executed � The Contract sum has not been verified by a QS � The cost and revenue parameters of the project are largely known � The size and related capital value of the development � Analysis of comparable developments � The southern Sydney location Having regard to the above, we have adopted a Profit and Risk Factor of 22.49%, being the approximate mid-point of the adopted range. |
| GST Liability | We have adopted the General Tax Rule Scheme for valuation purposes. Our calculations on this basis are as follows: Residential Realisation Including GST $244,341,000 Less GST $22,212,818 Gross Realisation Excluding GST $222,128,182 Plus: Hotel $22,000,000 Plus: Retail $46,500,000 Gross Realisation Excluding GST $290,628,182 Note: The GST liability has been utilised for the purpose of the residual cash flow analysis and is an indicative figure only. |
Feasibility Conclusions
Our calculations result in a residual value of $42,984,912 excluding GST, which we have rounded to $43,000,000 excluding GST for practical valuation purposes. Our feasibility analysis reflects an Internal Rate of Return of 10.48% (including interest), and a net development profit of approximately $53,355,221, all of which appear to be reasonable for a development of this nature.
We have assumed the standard marketing period for a development of this scale with a mixed use profile incorporating retail, hotel and residential with limited pre-commitments, however advanced planning is 3-

APPENDIX II
6 months to allow a prospective purchaser to undertake the required due diligence to inform purchase decisions.
The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 1.5-3 months and assumes full due diligence would not be able to be undertaken which would be reflected in a more conservative value.
Practically, this scenario therefore assumes that a prospective buyer would look to increase the risk allowances to cover less than full diligence.
For the purposes of an assessment based on these adopted assumptions we have increased the Profit and Risk allowance in our residual land value analysis by 3 basis points to 25.5% which indicates a residual land value of $38,500,000 which has been adopted under this valuation scenario.
Whilst our analysis could alter other inputs in the feasibility such as apartment price and Hotel and Retail component values, and sale rate and cost, realistically the sale rate of the apartments/components, the value of the completed apartments/components and the cost of producing the development does not change. The risk essentially lies with the acquisition of a project with a long development life without exploring all aspects of the project to ascertain an educated and informed acquisition.
Feasibility Conclusions
Our calculations result in a residual value of $38,585,459 excluding GST, which we have rounded to $38,500,000 excluding GST for practical valuation purposes. Our feasibility analysis reflects an Internal Rate of Return of 11.94% including interest, and a net development profit of approximately $59,168,606 all of which appear to be reasonable for a development of this nature .

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
Critical Assumptions
| Market Movement | � This valuation is current as at the date of valuation and may change as a result of either external or specific factors affecting the property. We do not accept liability for losses arising from such subsequent changes in value. We will not accept liability where this valuation is relied upon after the expiration of three months from the date of valuation, or earlier if there are significant alterations to conditions affecting the value of the property. � This valuation is conditional upon development being undertaken in the immediate future and that the site will not be “landbanked”. The “As Is” value is current as at the date of valuation only. It is not suitable for long term passive lending. If the site needs to be retained “As Is” for an extended period of time, it is likely that a lower site value may apply, or it may result after accounting for holding costs and changes in market environment in addition to any variation to construction costs. |
|---|---|
| Physical | � The valuer does not hold itself out to be an expert in building materials and has been unable to identify from a visual inspection of the proposed plans whether the ‘cladding’ to be constructed will use compliant or non-compliant building products (i.e., combustible polyethylene core aluminium composite panels). A Certificate of Compliance and/or Certification of building materials for the development has not been sighted nor confirmed by the valuer. This valuation report has been prepared: (a) on the assumption that the building materials used, as well as the application and installation of those materials, comply with all approvals, regulatory requirements and codes. (b) without consideration to any diminution in value that may arise due to the identification of non-compliant building products within the development. Should this not be the case, we reserve the right to review our valuation. The valuer strongly advises the reader to investigate the nature of the currently proposed building components and satisfy itself as to the potential risks and costs which could be incurred should the currently proposed building component have to be remedied, replaced or adapted. |
| Construction Costs | � The civil construction estimate provided by the instructing party (excluding GST and Contingency) of $137,864,337 equates to $4,162 per square metre of GFA, which is considered to be within acceptable market parameters and has been adopted in our valuation. � Construction and development of the project can be undertaken for the amount described above, in accordance with the documents provided by the instructing party. We have adopted the construction and development costs provided as part of our instruction. Should the supplied costs be proven to be inadequate to deliver the project, Savills reserves the right to review this valuation accordingly. � We are not Quantity Surveyors nor are we Consulting Engineers. We have relied upon cost estimates provided and on the basis that the cost provided and adopted are accurate. We recommend the engagement of an independent Quantity Surveyor to confirm same. Should the cost estimate differ to that adopted within, then this report should be referred back to the Valuer for comment and accordingly we reserve the right to amend the assessment within |
| Land Value | � The assessed land value via the Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the status of approvals, civil construction costs, associated development costs, interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the completed units, adopted pre-sales prior to construction, sale rate for completed stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed land value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances. |
| GST | � We have not been provided with independent Accounting or Legal advice regarding the eligibility of using the margin scheme for this development. As this falls outside the scope of our investigations, we have applied the full GST impost in our feasibilities and to our ‘as if complete’ values on a GST exclusive basis. As a result, GST on the development costs will be assessed at 10% to be remitted two months later, while GST on gross realisations will be assessed at 1/11th. All costs within our cash flow model are quoted, where applicable, excluding GST. � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the GST remittance changes from 1 July 2018 i.e., the Federal Government's requirement that purchasers of new residential premises will remit the GST directly to the ATO as part of settlement. |
| CGT | � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the foreign resident capital gains tax withholding scheme changes under the Federal Budget 2017, under which: Australian resident vendors of real property of $750,000 or more must provide a Clearance Certificate issued by the ATO to a purchaser on settlement of the sale, to avoid the purchaser withholding 12.5% of the purchase price and remitting it as withholding tax to the ATO; and Foreign resident vendors will see 12.5% of the purchase price being withheld and remitted to the ATO, unless the ATO approves a Variation. |
| Construction Timeframe | � We have adopted a construction period for the project of 26 months with a 12 month lead time, based on the advice provided by the instructing party. We have assumed this to be an accurate forecast and have adopted this within our Residual Cash Flow analysis. |
| “As If Complete” Assessment |
� The “As If Complete” assessment is the estimated market value of the proposed development as detailed in this report on the assumption that all construction has been satisfactorily completed in all respects at the date of this report. Because of time lag and unknown future market conditions the valuation reflects the valuer’s view of the market conditions existing at the date of valuation and does not purport to predict future market conditions and the value at the actual completion date. |
– 109 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| Construction Quality & Compliance |
� The “As If Complete” assessment is provided on the basis that the proposed improvements will be constructed in a tradesman like manner using new, quality materials and having regard to modern building techniques. Our valuation assumes that: � A detailed report of the structure and service installations of the building once completed would not reveal any defects requiring significant expenditure. � The building will comply with all relevant statutory requirements in respect of matters such as health, building and fire safety regulations, and will be built in accordance with the provisions of the Building Code of Australia. |
|---|---|
| EPBC Act | � That the subject property is not impacted in any way by matters covered by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), including, but not limited to, listed threatened species and ecological communities or migratory species protected under international agreements. |
| Development Approvals (Including Plans & Specifications) |
� We have been provided with a copy of the Development Approval for the subject development including approved plans. We assume that the development will be completed in full accordance with the noted Development Approval and any conditions contained within the approval. Should there be any subsequent changes to the Development Approval or the Approved development plans, this valuation must not be relied upon before first consulting Savills to reassess any effect on the valuation. |
| Contamination | � We have been provided with a Remediation Action Plan prepared by ERM dated August 2020. The report notes the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons, naphthalene, volatile organic compounds and heavy metals as well as underground storage tanks. � We have assumed, as instructed that the costs provided allow for remediation of the site. |
| Encumbrances, Restrictions, Caveats etc. |
� Our valuation is on the basis that the property is free of encumbrances, restrictions, caveats, or other impediments of an onerous nature which could affect value. Our valuation has been undertaken on the basis the property is free of mortgages, charges and other financial liens. |
| Marketing Period | � We have assumed the standard marketing period for a development of this scale with advanced planning status, minor pre-sales and without any pre-commitment for the hotel and retail areas is 3-6 months to allow a prospective purchaser to undertake the required due diligence to inform purchase decisions. � The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 1.5-3 months and assumes full due diligence would not be able to be undertaken which would be reflected in a more conservative value. |
| General | � The rental and sales information has been obtained from a number of sources including RP Data and registered government sales transfers. Whilst we understand the information to be reliable, we are unable to guarantee the accuracy. � Unless otherwise set out in the Proposal, Savills is not aware of any conflict of interest in accepting your instruction to value the Property and the valuer set out in the Proposal is in a position to provide an objective and unbiased valuation. � We confirm that the valuer undertaking this valuation is considered to have the appropriate level of skills and competence to complete the valuation to a professional standard, taking into account the property type. |
| Serviced Apartment Hotel | � That the proposed apartment hotel will be completed to a standard commensurate with existing industry standards for an upscale (4 to 4.5 star standard) serviced apartment hotel and as outlined within the valuation. � The value of the serviced apartment hotel subject to the proposed lease is reliant on the ability of the Leasehold business owner to maintain sufficient revenue and profit levels in order to meet its rental obligations. Should the business deteriorate and the Lessee struggle to meet rental obligations, the value of the property may be negatively impacted. � That the proposed serviced apartment hotel will be managed by Quest Apartment Hotels (or nominated franchisee) under the proposed terms of the Non-Binding Offer to Lease. Should the terms of the lease vary to those adopted herein and outlined within the Non-Binding Offer to Lease, then we reserve the right to amend the valuation. � That the FF&E and plant and equipment will be owned by the property owner and that an asset register or asset depreciation schedule is available on sale of the property. That the FF&E will be transferred to a purchaser on sale. � The trading forecast including within the valuation have been undertaken solely for the purposes of assessing an appropriate market rent. Furthermore, the projections of Fair Maintainable Trade (FMT) are based on a reasonably efficient operator. � The DCF exercise appended hereto has been undertaken for the sole purpose of assisting in the determination of the market value of the property and we make no guarantees or warranty as to the accuracy of the future rental income stream projections in so far as they relate to market rental movements. � We have not been provided with legal advice but based on our experience, if the subject property was sold as a going concern, it would be GST-free (provided that certain GST requirements are met) and have based our analysis upon this advice; any user of this valuation should make appropriate enquiries in this respect. If any of the above assumptions prove to be incorrect, we reserve the right to revise our valuations as provided herein, should we deem it to be necessary. � That all licences and approvals required to operate the hotel and remain open for full trading will be granted to the applicant on completion and will continue without restriction. |
Should any of the assumptions in our full valuation report be incorrect or inaccurate, then we reserve the right to amend the valuation, the report and this summary report.

Re: Valuation Summary Letter Property: 253 Apartments – “The Lennox”, 12-14 Phillip Street & 331a-339 Church Street, Parramatta, NSW, Australia
We refer to instructions issued by Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd dated 5 May 2022 to provide a summary report of the valuation providing the Market Value “In One Line” of 253 Apartments – “The Lennox”, 12-14 Phillip Street & 331a-339 Church Street, Parramatta, NSW, Australia. We have prepared a full and comprehensive Valuation Report for the property in accordance with our instructions from Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd for internal reporting purposes dated 31 March 2022.
This valuation summary letter (“summary letter”) has been prepared for part of a submission to The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Rules governing the listing of securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited) to be issued by China Aoyuan Group Limited as responsible entity for the sale of the property assessed.
Our full valuation report valuation report has been prepared in accordance with the Australian Property Institute’s Current Valuation Standard and Guidance Notes, RICS Valuation - Global Standards 2020 together with the Australian National Supplement effective August 2019 and International Valuation Standards (IVS).
This summary letter should be read in conjunction with the Valuation Report (prepared as at 31 March 2022) as we note this summary letter does not include all essential information and the assumptions which are detailed in our Valuation Report. The Valuation Report provides a detailed description of the property; its current configuration, location, assumptions impacting value and local market characteristics.
An extract from the valuation report comprising the Critical Assumptions is annexed to this summary letter.
We have assessed the valuation on Freehold Title of the property.
Market Value as defined by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and as adopted by the Australian Property Institute (API) is as follows:
“Market Value is 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.”
We have assessed the In One Line market value of the property in accordance with the Market Value definition referred to above. Furthermore, the Sale in One Line Definition is
– 111 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
‘Sale in one line’ is the value of the gross realisation of the individual completed lots sold in a single transaction less a discount that takes into consideration legal and selling costs, profit and risk, holding costs and acquisition costs.
In addition, we have been requested to assess an Estimated Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale.
We confirm that the valuer does not have a pecuniary interest that would conflict with a proper valuation of the interest in the property.
Savills Valuations Pty Ltd (“Savills”) charged a professional fee for producing valuation report.
Material Assumptions
- The assessed “In One Line Value” via Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the units, sale rate for apartment stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances.

The site is bounded by Church Street to the east and Phillip Street to the south. Surrounding development comprises a mix of uses and development types including residential, commercial, retail and entertainment uses. Open space and parklands are located along the foreshore area to the north of the site. The Riverside Theatre and Prince Alfred Park are located to the north of the site on the North Bank of the Parramatta River. The site is well serviced by public transport with bus routes operating regularly along Church Street and bus stops on Market and Church Streets. The site is also in walking proximity to the Parramatta train station, bus and ferry terminals. |

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| Environmental Comment (contd) | The subject property is not contained within the EPA’s “List of Issued Certificates and Statements of Environmental Audit” based on our recent online search. We also note that the subject property and surrounding immediate development as at the date of valuation, is not subject to an “Environmental Audit Overlay” under the Burwood City Planning Scheme. A visual site inspection has not revealed any obvious pollution or contamination. Nevertheless, we wish to advise that we are not qualified to provide advice on the physical condition of the land and we are not aware of any geotechnical and/or environmental defects with the land. Further, we have not sighted any environmental audits or geotechnical reports, which suggest site contamination or defects. This valuation has therefore been made on the assumption that there are no actual or potential contamination issues affecting: - � The value or marketing of the property; or � The site. |

Valuation Methodology
We have assessed the valuation on the basis of Freehold Title.
The valuation is determined on the basis that the property, the Title thereto and its use is not affected by any matter other than that mentioned in the full valuation report. Furthermore, it has been assumed that reasonable resources are available in negotiating the sale and exposing the property to the market.
Given the nature of the subject property, we have primarily relied upon the Direct Comparison Approach to assess the value of the individual apartments and the Hypothetical Development Approach to assess the In One line Value.
This approach utilises our assessment of the estimated ‘total gross realisation’ value from which we have deducted selling costs and other costs including holding costs, finance costs and interest, and our adopted development (profit and risk) margin, to arrive at an estimate of the In One Line Value.

The Valuation Report draws attention to the key issues and considerations impacting value and provides a detailed assessment and analysis as well as key critical assumptions, general assumptions, disclaimers, limitations and qualifications and recommendations.

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
Critical Assumptions
| Market Movement | � This valuation is current as at the date of valuation and may change as a result of either external or specific factors affecting the property. We do not accept liability for losses arising from such subsequent changes in value. We will not accept liability where this valuation is relied upon after the expiration of three months from the date of valuation, or earlier if there are significant alterations to conditions affecting the value of the property. |
|---|---|
| Physical | � The valuer does not hold itself out to be an expert in building materials and has been unable to identify from a visual inspection whether the ‘cladding’ was constructed using compliant or non-compliant building products (i.e., combustible polyethylene core aluminium composite panels). � This valuation report has been prepared: (a) on the assumption that the building materials used, as well as the application and installation of those materials, comply with all approvals, regulatory requirements and codes. (b) without consideration to any diminution in value that may arise due to the identification of non- compliant building products within the property development. Should this not be the case, we reserve the right to review our valuation. The valuer strongly advises the reader to investigate the nature of the building components and satisfy itself as to the potential risks and costs which could be incurred should the existing building components have to be remedied, replaced or adapted. |
| In One Line Value | � The assessed “In One Line Value” via Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the units, sale rate for apartment stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances. |
| GST | � That any reliant party has taken all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the GST remittance changes from 1 July 2018 i.e., the Federal Government's requirement that purchasers of new residential premises will remit the GST directly to the ATO as part of settlement. � We have not been provided with independent Accounting or Legal advice regarding the eligibility of using the margin scheme for this development. As this falls outside the scope of our investigations, we have applied the full GST impost in our feasibilities and to our ‘as if complete’ values on a GST exclusive basis. |
| CGT | � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the foreign resident capital gains tax withholding scheme changes under the Federal Budget 2017, under which: Australian resident vendors of real property of $750,000 or more must provide a Clearance Certificate issued by the ATO to a purchaser on settlement of the sale, to avoid the purchaser withholding 12.5% of the purchase price and remitting it as withholding tax to the ATO; and Foreign resident vendors will see 12.5% of the purchase price being withheld and remitted to the ATO, unless the ATO approves a Variation. |
| Gross Realisation | � The Gross Realisation assessment reflects an orderly sale of the apartments over time and is not reflective of an “In One Line Value” which has been separately assessed and illustrates a discount to the Gross Realisation assessed. |
| EPBC Act | � That the subject property is not impacted in any way by matters covered by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), including, but not limited to, listed threatened species and ecological communities or migratory species protected under international agreements. |
| Occupation Certificate | � A Final Occupation Certificate (No.9695-02-2020-FOC) was certified on 3 July 2020 by AE&D Pty Ltd for a (DA0180/14) mixed use development containing 3 buildings, 147 units, retail space, basement parking and landscaping work and modification MOD0006/19. � We assume there are not outstanding works/defects that will affect the marketing of the apartments. |
| Body Corporate | � We have not undertaken a search of the body corporate records and we assume that there is no current payment liability on the body corporate in relation to capital expenditure programs. � We also assume that there are no indications from the minutes of meetings held that there are any areas of structural (or other) concern that may give rise to a special levy to be borne by the owners. We recommend any reliant party verify the position of the Body Corporate and any areas of concern prior to advancing funds. |
| Inspection | � We note that we were not provided access to all individual units, however we did inspect each unit type. For the purpose of this valuation, we have assumed that these unseen units are of an identical nature in terms of finishes to the inspected apartments. |
| Contamination | � We assume that the subject property is free from elevated levels of contaminants. |
– 123 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| Encumbrances, Restrictions, Caveats etc. |
� Our valuation is on the basis that the property is free of encumbrances, restrictions, caveats, or other impediments of an onerous nature which could affect value. Our valuation has been undertaken on the basis the property is free of mortgages, charges and other financial liens. |
|---|---|
| Marketing Period | � We have assumed a standard marketing period for the subject apartments in a sell down scenario is likely to be 50 months or 5 apartments per month. � The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 42 months or 6 apartments per month and assumes a more conservative value/price to attract buyers within a shorter sale period as well as additional funds allocated to marketing. |
| General | � The sales information has been obtained from a number of sources including RP Data and registered government sales transfers. Whilst we understand the information to be reliable, we are unable to guarantee the accuracy. � Unless otherwise set out in the Proposal, Savills is not aware of any conflict of interest in accepting your instruction to value the Property and the valuer set out in the Proposal is in a position to provide an objective and unbiased valuation. � We confirm that the valuer undertaking this valuation is considered to have the appropriate level of skills and competence to complete the valuation to a professional standard, taking into account the property type. � We recommend that the reliant party undertake a search of the titles as Savills has only searched a sample lot to ensure there are no notations on title that may impact value. � That all apartments have unencumbered title and that any outstanding development contributions have been paid with nothing inhibiting the potential realisable sale of each unit individually or in aggregate. |
Should any of the assumptions in our full valuation report be incorrect or inaccurate, then we reserve the right to amend the valuation, the report and this summary report.

We also note that the subject property and surrounding immediate development as at the date of valuation, is not subject to an “Environmental Audit Overlay” under the Sutherland Planning Scheme. The present and past use of the subject property for landfill uses is classified as a “potentially contaminating activity, industry or land use” as defined under the API’s Australia Real Property Guidance Note 1 – Land Contamination Issues (Appendix 2) and is considered a high risk use in regard to potential for site contamination We have been informed the site was found to contain high levels of asbestos, methane gas, and contaminated fill in the soil prior to construction commencement, as the site was formerly used as a landfill by Sutherland Council. The site is its original state was found to be unsuitable for the proposed redevelopment. The method to remediate the site was the Cap and Contain method whereby a high visibility non-woven geotextile layer was placed over the surface to cover all contaminated material and extending 3 metres beyond the property perimeter. Above this an impervious additional layer was installed. Given these works a Long-term Environmental Plan will be required to be prepared and continually monitored. We have assumed, as instructed that the costs provided have allowed for the appropriate remediation of the site. |

Valuation Methodology
We have assessed the valuation on the basis of Freehold Title.
The valuation is determined on the basis that the property, the Title thereto and its use is not affected by any matter other than that mentioned in the full valuation report. Furthermore, it has been assumed that reasonable resources are available in negotiating the sale and exposing the property to the market.
Given the nature of the subject property, we have relied upon the Direct Comparison Approach to assess the value of the individual apartments and commercial suites and the Capitalisation and Discounted Cash Flow methods to ascertain the value of the retail and hotel components As if Complete.
The Direct Comparison Approach and Hypothetical Development Approach have been utilised to assess the current Market Value of the site.
The Hypothetical Development Approach utilises our assessment of the estimated ‘total gross realisation’ value from which we have deducted selling costs and other costs including holding costs, finance costs and interest, and our adopted development (profit and risk) margin, to arrive at an estimate of the Residual Land Value.
To ascertain the value of the individual apartments we have relied upon the below comparable sales:

We have assumed the hotel and retail components will transact on practical completion and we have assumed the commercial suites will transact within 3 months of completion of construction given the pre-sale position. |

| Developers Margin | Profit and Risk expectations for a project of this nature would normally vary from 20% to 30%. In adopting an appropriate Profit and Risk factor for the subject project, we have had regard to the following factors: � On the basis that a major proportion of the total list value has been pre-committed � Construction has commenced. � The Contract sum has been verified by a QS � The cost and revenue parameters of the project are largely known � The size and related capital value of the development � Analysis of comparable developments � The Sutherland location Having regard to the above, we have adopted a Profit and Risk Factor of 25.01%, being the approximate mid-point of the adopted range. |
| GST Liability | We have adopted the General Tax Rule Scheme for valuation purposes. Our calculations on this basis are as follows: Residential Realisation Including GST $267,823,864 Less GST $24,347,624 Gross Realisation Excluding GST $243,476,240 Plus: Hotel $21,000,000 Plus: Retail $185,000,000 Plus: Commercial $8,762,498 Gross Realisation Excluding GST $458,238,738 Note: The GST liability has been utilised for the purpose of the residual cash flow analysis and is an indicative figure only. |

Feasibility Conclusions
Our calculations result in a residual value of $120,400,000 excluding GST. Our feasibility analysis reflects an Internal Rate of Return of 19.5% including interest, and a net development profit of approximately $91,687,150 all of which appear to be reasonable for a development of this nature
We have assumed the standard marketing period for a development of this scale with a mixed use profile incorporating retail, hotel and residential with limited pre-commitments, however advanced planning is 3- 6 months to allow a prospective purchaser to undertake the required due diligence to inform purchase decisions.
The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 1.5-3 months and assumes full due diligence would not be able to be undertaken which would be reflected in a more conservative value. This is particularly important for an asset such as the subject where construction is commenced as substantial time and due diligence would be required to confirm building contracts and warranties, pre-sale contracts and pre-commitments to the retail and hotel areas.
Practically, this scenario therefore assumes that a prospective buyer would look to increase the risk allowances to cover less than full diligence.
For the purposes of an assessment based on these adopted assumptions we have increased the Profit and Risk allowance in our residual land value analysis by 4 basis points to 29% which indicates a residual land value of $110,600,000 which has been adopted under this valuation scenario.
Whilst our analysis could alter other inputs in the feasibility such as apartment price and Hotel and Retail component values, and sale rate and cost, realistically the sale rate of the apartments/components, the value of the completed apartments/components and the cost of producing the development does not change. The risk essentially lies with the acquisition of a project with a long development life without exploring all aspects of the project to ascertain an educated and informed acquisition.
Feasibility Conclusions
Our calculations result in a residual value of $110,600,000 excluding GST for practical valuation purposes. Our feasibility analysis reflects an Internal Rate of Return of 22.48% including interest, and a net development profit of approximately $103,074,513 all of which appear to be reasonable for a development of this nature.

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
Critical Assumptions
| Market Movement | � This valuation is current as at the date of valuation and may change as a result of either external or specific factors affecting the property. We do not accept liability for losses arising from such subsequent changes in value. We will not accept liability where this valuation is relied upon after the expiration of three months from the date of valuation, or earlier if there are significant alterations to conditions affecting the value of the property. |
|---|---|
| Physical | � The valuer does not hold itself out to be an expert in building materials and has been unable to identify from a visual inspection of the proposed plans whether the ‘cladding’ to be constructed will use compliant or non- compliant building products (i.e., combustible polyethylene core aluminium composite panels). A Certificate of Compliance and/or Certification of building materials for the development has not been sighted nor confirmed by the valuer. This valuation report has been prepared: (a) on the assumption that the building materials used, as well as the application and installation of those materials, comply with all approvals, regulatory requirements and codes. (b) without consideration to any diminution in value that may arise due to the identification of non- compliant building products within the development. Should this not be the case, we reserve the right to review our valuation. The valuer strongly advises the reader to investigate the nature of the currently proposed building components and satisfy itself as to the potential risks and costs which could be incurred should the currently proposed building component have to be remedied, replaced or adapted. |
| Construction Costs | � The cost to complete the development provided by Coutts Consulting (Progress Payment 10) as of March 2022 and refined by Aoyuan (excluding GST and Contingency) is $174,541,536 which has been adopted for the purpose of this assessment. � We note additional costs to complete have been provided by the instructing party and these include: � Outstanding Council Contributions - $725,706 � Outstanding Infrastructure Works - $1,400,000 � Additional Approved Variations - $1,429,905 � Construction and development of the project can be completed for the amount described above, in accordance with the documents provided by Coutts Consulting and the spreadsheet provided by Aoyuan. We have adopted the cost to complete as part of our instruction. Should the supplied costs be proven to be inadequate to deliver the project, Savills reserves the right to review this valuation accordingly. � We are not Quantity Surveyors nor are we Consulting Engineers. We have relied upon cost estimates provided and on the basis that the cost provided and adopted are accurate. We recommend the engagement of an independent Quantity Surveyor to confirm same. Should the cost estimate differ to that adopted within, then this report should be referred back to the Valuer for comment and accordingly we reserve the right to amend the assessment within |
| Land Value | � The assessed land value via the Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the status of approvals, civil construction costs, associated development costs, interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the completed units, adopted pre-sales prior to construction, sale rate for completed stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed land value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances. |
| GST | � We have not been provided with independent Accounting or Legal advice regarding the eligibility of using the margin scheme for this development. As this falls outside the scope of our investigations, we have applied the full GST impost in our feasibilities and to our ‘as if complete’ values on a GST exclusive basis. As a result, GST on the development costs will be assessed at 10% to be remitted two months later, while GST on gross realisations will be assessed at 1/11th. All costs within our cash flow model are quoted, where applicable, excluding GST. � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the GST remittance changes from 1 July 2018 i.e., the Federal Government's requirement that purchasers of new residential premises will remit the GST directly to the ATO as part of settlement. |
| CGT | � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the foreign resident capital gains tax withholding scheme changes under the Federal Budget 2017, under which: Australian resident vendors of real property of $750,000 or more must provide a Clearance Certificate issued by the ATO to a purchaser on settlement of the sale, to avoid the purchaser withholding 12.5% of the purchase price and remitting it as withholding tax to the ATO; and Foreign resident vendors will see 12.5% of the purchase price being withheld and remitted to the ATO, unless the ATO approves a Variation. |

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| Construction Timeframe | � We have adopted a construction period to complete the project of 22 months, based on the advice provided in Coutts Progress Report No. 10. We have assumed this to be an accurate forecast and have adopted this within our Residual Cash Flow analysis. |
|---|---|
| “As If Complete” Assessment |
� The “As If Complete” assessment is the estimated market value of the proposed development as detailed in this report on the assumption that all construction has been satisfactorily completed in all respects at the date of this report. Because of time lag and unknown future market conditions the valuation reflects the valuer’s view of the market conditions existing at the date of valuation and does not purport to predict future market conditions and the value at the actual completion date. |
| Construction Quality & Compliance |
� The “As If Complete” assessment is provided on the basis that the proposed improvements will be constructed in a tradesman like manner using new, quality materials and having regard to modern building techniques. Our valuation assumes that: � A detailed report of the structure and service installations of the building once completed would not reveal any defects requiring significant expenditure. � The building will comply with all relevant statutory requirements in respect of matters such as health, building and fire safety regulations, and will be built in accordance with the provisions of the Building Code of Australia. |
| EPBC Act | � That the subject property is not impacted in any way by matters covered by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), including, but not limited to, listed threatened species and ecological communities or migratory species protected under international agreements. |
| Development Approvals (Including Plans & Specifications) |
� We have been provided with a copy of the Development Approval for the subject development including approved plans. We assume that the development will be completed in full accordance with the noted Development Approval and any conditions contained within the approval. Should there be any subsequent changes to the Development Approval or the Approved development plans, this valuation must not be relied upon before first consulting Savills to reassess any effect on the valuation. |
| Contamination | � The site was found to contain high levels of asbestos, methane gas, and contaminated fill in the soil prior to construction commencement, as the site was formerly used as a landfill by Sutherland Council. The site is its original state was found to be unsuitable for the proposed redevelopment. � The method to remediate the site was the Cap and Contain method whereby a high visibility non-woven geotextile layer was placed over the surface to cover all contaminated material and extending 3 metres beyond the property perimeter. Above this an impervious additional layer was installed. � Given these works a Long-term Environmental Plan will be required to be prepared and continually monitored. � We have assumed, as instructed that the costs provided have allowed for the appropriate remediation of the site. |
| Encumbrances, Restrictions, Caveats etc. |
� Our valuation is on the basis that the property is free of encumbrances, restrictions, caveats, or other impediments of an onerous nature which could affect value. Our valuation has been undertaken on the basis the property is free of mortgages, charges and other financial liens. |
| Marketing Period | � We have assumed the standard marketing period for a development of this scale with advanced pre-sale status and construction commenced is 3-6 months to allow a prospective purchaser to undertake the required due diligence to inform purchase decisions. � The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 1.5-3 months and assumes full due diligence would not be able to be undertaken which would be reflected in a more conservative value. |
| General | � The rental and sales information has been obtained from a number of sources including RP Data and registered government sales transfers. Whilst we understand the information to be reliable, we are unable to guarantee the accuracy. � Unless otherwise set out in the Proposal, Savills is not aware of any conflict of interest in accepting your instruction to value the Property and the valuer set out in the Proposal is in a position to provide an objective and unbiased valuation. � We confirm that the valuer undertaking this valuation is considered to have the appropriate level of skills and competence to complete the valuation to a professional standard, taking into account the property type. |
Should any of the assumptions in our full valuation report be incorrect or inaccurate, then we reserve the right to amend the valuation, the report and this summary report.

Dear Sirs,
VALUATION OF 100% EQUITY INTEREST IN AOYUAN PROPERTY GROUP (AUSTRALIA) PTY LTD
In accordance with your instructions, we have undertaken a valuation on behalf of Aoyuan Property Group (International) Limited (the “ Company ”) to determine the Market Value (“ Market Value ”) and Estimated Realisable Price (“ ERP ”) (as defined below) of 100% equity interest (the “ Equity ”) in Aoyuan Property Group (Australia) Pty Ltd (the “ Target ”) as at 30 June 2022 (the “ Valuation Date ”).
1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE TARGET
The Target is an investment holding company. Its subsidiaries and affiliates are principally engaged in property development, holding and sales in Australia (together with the Target as the “Group”). The Target is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

APPENDIX II
VALUATION REPORTS
2. PURPOSE OF VALUATION AND STANDARD OF VALUE
The purpose of this valuation is to express an independent opinion of the Market Value and ERP of 100% equity interest in the Target as at the Valuation Date stated above for the purpose of your internal reference and potential public disclosure. We understand that the Company is contemplating to dispose of the Equity (the “ Contemplated Disposal ”), therefore certain special assumptions are required for your internal reference purpose in determining the Market Value and ERP of the Equity.
Our valuation is prepared in accordance with the International Valuation Standards (“ IVS ”) published by International Valuation Standards Council.
According to International Valuation Standards (“ IVS ”), Market Value is defined as intended to mean “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.”
For your internal reference purpose, ERP is defined as “the estimated value for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date assuming a short period, considered less than standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale”.
We acknowledge that this report may be made available to the Company for public circulation purpose. We however assume no responsibility whatsoever to any person other than the Company in respect of, or arising out of, the contents of this report. If others choose to rely in any way on the contents of this report, they do so entirely at their own risk.
3. SOURCES OF INFORMATION
For valuation purpose, we have relied on the following major documents and information in the valuation analysis. Certain documents and information have been provided by the Company. Other information is extracted from public sources. We have discussed with the management of the Company to assess the reasonableness and fairness of the documents and information adopted by us. While we have satisfied ourselves with the reasonableness and fairness of the documents and information adopted, we expressly disclaim any responsibility or liability for the accuracy of the said documents and information. The major documents and information include but not limited to the following:
-
Background information of the Target’s business operations and relevant corporate information;
-
Historical financial information of the Group;
-
The economic outlook in general and the specific economic environment and elements affecting the Group, industry and market; and

VALUATION REPORTS
- Property Valuation reports (“ Property Valuation Reports ”) for the Company’s internal reference purpose issued by Savills Valuations Pty Ltd, a professional property valuation firm based in Australia and independent from the Company and the Target.
4. VALUATION METHODOLOGY AND BASIS
In conducting the valuation, we have considered three generally accepted approaches, including income approach, market approach and cost approach. Each of these approaches is appropriate in one or more circumstances, and sometimes, two or more approaches may be used together. Whether to adopt a particular approach will be determined by the specific characteristics of the subject of the valuation and the commonly adopted practice.
4.1 Market approach
According to the IVS, the market approach provides an indication of value by comparing the asset with identical or comparable (that is similar) assets for which price information is available.
In the business valuation context, the market approach valuation shall analyse recent transaction(s) in the equity interest of the valuation subject and/or comparable companies and benchmark the valuation subject with the selected comparable(s).
4.2 Cost approach
According to the IVS, the cost approach provides an indication of value using the economic principle that a buyer will pay no more for an asset than the cost to obtain an asset of equal utility, whether by purchase or by construction, unless undue time, inconvenience, risk or other factors are involved. The approach provides an indication of value by calculating the current replacement or reproduction cost of an asset and making deductions for physical deterioration and all other relevant forms of obsolescence.
In the business valuation context, cost approach is often presented as summation method, in which value of the business entity is derived from the sum of value of its existing assets less the value of its liabilities.
– 146 –
APPENDIX II
VALUATION REPORTS
4.3 Income approach
According to the IVS, the income approach provides an indication of value by converting future cash flow to a single current value. Under the income approach, the value of an asset is determined by reference to the value of income, cash flow or cost savings generated by the asset.
In the business valuation context, under income approach, value of the business entity is derived primarily from the present value of its future cash flow, typically through the use of discounted cash flow method.
5. VALUATION ANALYSES OF THE TARGET
The guideline transaction method of market approach is not adopted because there is no comparable transactions matching the characteristics of the Target as a whole, where each of the property held within the Group has specific characteristics that cannot be reflected by a transaction of equity in another company. The guideline company method of market approach using comparable companies is not adopted in this valuation for similar reason as it is difficult to identify appropriate comparable valuation multiples to reflect the characteristics of the properties held in the Group.
The income approach is not adopted as no detailed future cash flow forecast is available from the Target or the Company for this valuation purpose.
The summation method of the cost approach is adopted for the Target as an investment holding company as the value of an investment holding company comes from the value of its investment holdings. In the case of the Target, its investments through its subsidiaries are primarily property development companies, their value is mainly driven by the property development projects, hence the use of summation method under cost approach is appropriate to reflect each of their value. We would estimate the value of the investments held using appropriate approach and adopt their values to the line item of long-term investments on the Target’s statement of financial position.

APPENDIX II
VALUATION REPORTS
We have obtained the statement of financial position of the Target and the Group as at the Valuation Date, and note that the Target’s assets and liabilities items are as follows:
| Item | Assets | Item | Liabilities |

As certain subsidiaries engaging in property development/joint ventures are not wholly owned by the Target, we have adopted a bottom-up approach to calculate the attributable equity value of those companies to the Target where their Market Value is reflected through the line item “Investment in subsidiaries”.
We understand from the Company that the Target acted as the financing vehicle for its subsidiaries by making intercompany loans from capital obtained from Grand First Holding Limited (“ Grand First ”), its parent company, and external parties. As such, there are significant inter-group balances between the Target and its subsidiaries at company level before consolidation adjustments.
– 148 –

Item III. Investment in subsidiaries
According to the information provided by the Company, investment in subsidiaries are held by Prime ESP 1 Pty Ltd, Prime EBC Pty Ltd and Prime Parramatta Pty Ltd which are property development companies. We adopt the same summation method described herein to value the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries to calculate the Market Value and ERP of investment in subsidiaries.
Item V. Interest to Aoyuan
Based on discussion with the Company, the nature of this item is interest on amount due to the Target by the respective subsidiaries pertain to the property development which are capitalized as part of the cost of inventory or property development. As the value of properties are to be considered separately (see below), we do not assign any Market Value and ERP for these items as at the Valuation Date to avoid double counting.
Item VI. Property Development
The property development held by the subsidiaries are separately valued by Savills Valuations Pty Ltd., we have relied on the Property Valuation Reports as we are not experts in Australian property and adopted the Market Value and ERP from the Property Valuation Reports for property development.

The negative values above are primarily driven by the amount due to the Target by the respective subsidiary and the mark down of property development/inventory. We have adopted the special assumption for your internal reference purpose that these negative values are to be reflected to the line item of investment in subsidiaries in the Target’s statement of financial position as is, in spite of the typical floor value of equity being nil owing to the limited liability nature of a limited company.
Item 3) Deferred tax assets
For the valuation of deferred tax asset of the Target, it is the after-tax losses allowed to carry forward to offset with the future tax benefits. The Target is of the opinion that there will be profits assessable for tax in future for the utilization of the deferred tax asset, the validity of this view is confirmed by the recognition of deferred tax asset on the audited financial statement, therefore we have adopted the book value in the management account as their Market Value and ERP as at the Valuation Date.
Item 4) Intangible assets
For the valuation of the intangible asset of the Target, it is related to certain non-refundable preliminary expenses paid. Given the nature as a non-monetary asset with no further economic benefit, this amount is written off for the valuation purpose.

VALUATION REPORTS
Item 10) Unamortised establishment fees
Based on the discussion with the Company, the unamortised establishment fees related to prepayment towards the minimum return of the other long-term liabilities – GIC (“ GIC Loans ”). This amount shall be utilisable against the liability arising from the GIC Loans to be discussed below and we have adopted the book value in the management account as their Market Value and ERP as at the Valuation Date.
Item 13) Other long term liabilities – Grand First
As at the Valuation Date, the outstanding principal and interest of the Target due to Grand First (“ GF Loans ”) is at the sum of AUD385,075,062, with various maturities and interest rate ranging from 0% to 12%.
For your internal reference purpose pertain to the Contemplated Disposal, you have instructed us to adopt the special assumption that the other long-term liabilities – Grand First (the “ GF Loans ”) are to be immediately due as at the Valuation Date. Therefore, the value of the GF Loans is assumed to be AUD385.08 million for the purpose of this valuation, in lieu of the book value of AUD352.22 million which has reflected time value of the original repayment schedule.
On the other hand, as we understand from you that the GF Loans shall be assigned to the buyer in the Contemplated Disposal, you have instructed us to adopt the special assumption to remove the GF Loans from liabilities of the Target and treat it as equity for the purpose of our valuation of the Equity. We have therefore excluded the GF Loans in reporting the value of the Equity based on your instruction and special assumption.
Item 14) Other long term liabilities – GIC
Major terms and conditions of the GIC Loans are extracted from the facility agreement (“ Facility Agreement ”) between the Target, Gresham Property Funds Management Limited as trustee of GPF No.8 (i.e. “GIC” for the purpose of this report) dated 20 December 2021 and set out as follows.
Principal Amount AUD200,000,000 Terms 12 months from the date of Financial Close (1st Draw of Facility), unless extended
Minimum Return AUD35,000,000 (“ Minimum Return ”) to be paid with the principal repayment

VALUATION REPORTS
10. LIMITING CONDITIONS
We understand that you will perform additional separate due diligence before making any transaction decision related to the Target. You will not solely rely on our opinion regarding any transaction related to the Target. Our report will be used for internal reference purpose only and cannot replace any managerial decision or judgment of the Company’s management. Our work does not constitute any buy or sell recommendation.
No opinion is intended to be expressed for matters which require legal or other specialised expertise, which is beyond what is customarily expected on valuers’ capacity or expertise. We are not in a position to, nor have been instructed to, comment on the lawfulness of the businesses and the Target’s possession of the assets. In the course of our valuation, we have assumed that the assets have obtained all required registration and are freely transferable in the market without any significant obstacles.
We have been provided with extracts of copies of relevant documents and financial information relating to the Target. We have relied upon the aforesaid information and certain data from various databases in forming our opinion of the Market Value. However, we have not inspected the original documents to ascertain any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. Our work has relied to a considerable extent on the information provided by the Company and does not constitute an audit and no assurance is given by us to the information supplied to us. Details of our principal information sources are set out in the report and we have satisfied ourselves, so far as possible, that the information presented in our report is consistent with other information which was made available to us in the course of our work. We have made relevant inquiries and obtained further information as we considered necessary for the purpose of this valuation, we however cannot guarantee the reliability or accuracy of the information sources. We have no responsibility to doubt the truthfulness and accuracy of the said information which is material to the valuation. We have also been confirmed by the Company that no material facts related to this valuation have been omitted from the information provided.
The conclusion of value is based on accepted valuation procedures and practices that rely substantially on the use of numerous assumptions and the consideration of many uncertainties, not all of which can be easily quantified or ascertained. Furthermore, the assumptions adopted are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, the Target and us. While we have exercised our professional knowledge and cautions in adopting assumptions and other relevant key factors in our valuation, those factors and assumptions are still vulnerable to the change of the business, economic environment, competitive uncertainties or any other abrupt alternations of external factors. We must emphasise that the realisation of any prospective financial information set out within our report is dependent on the continuing validity of the assumptions on which it is based. We accept no responsibility for the realisation of any prospective financial information. Actual results are likely to be different from those shown in the prospective financial information because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and the differences may be material.

APPENDIX II
VALUATION REPORTS
In accordance with our standard practice, we must state that this report and valuation is for the purpose of incorporation into the public announcement of the Company and the use only of the party to whom it is addressed and no responsibility is accepted to any third party for the whole or any part of its contents.
Neither the whole, nor any part of this report and valuation, nor any reference thereto may be included in any documents, circular or statement without our written approval of the form and context in which it will appear.
We shall be under no obligation to update our report in respect of events or information which come to our attention subsequent to the date of this report. Notwithstanding this, we reserve the right, should we consider it necessary, to revise our valuation in light of any information which existed at the Valuation Date but which becomes known to us subsequent to the date of this report.
We shall not testify or attend in court due to this exercise, with reference to the valuation described herein. Should there be any further services required, the corresponding expenses and provision of services will be reimbursed from the Company and such additional work may incur without prior notification.
11. MANAGEMENT CONFIRMATION OF FACTS
A draft of this report and our calculation has been sent to management of the Company. They have reviewed and orally confirmed to us that facts as stated in this report and calculation are accurate in all material respects and that they are not aware of any material matters relevant to our engagement which have been excluded.
12. CONFIRMATION OF INDEPENDENCE
We hereby confirm that we have neither present nor prospective interests in the Company, the Target and their respective holding companies, subsidiaries and associated companies, or the value reported herein.
13. OPINION OF VALUE
Based on the method employed and analysis stated above and in the appendices, we are of the opinion that the value of the Equity as at the Valuation Date for the two value bases defined above is estimated as follows:
| AUD million | Market Value | ERP |
|---|---|---|
| The Equity | 176 | 138 |
– 161 –
APPENDIX II
VALUATION REPORTS
For your reference purpose, if we do not adopt the special assumption of removing the GF Loans from liabilities of the Target and do not treat it as equity for the purpose of our valuation of the Equity, the balance of GF Loans at AUD385.08 million will have to be deducted from the above, resulting in a negative amount and a net liability position for the Target upon the adjustments above. Due to the limited liability nature of the Target, the lower bound of Equity is zero, therefore Market Value and the ERP of the Equity would be nil without such special assumption.
Please refer to Appendix II for the calculation.
The outbreak of the COVID-19, declared by the World Health Organisation as a ‘Global Pandemic’ on the 11 March 2020, has impacted many aspects of daily life and the global economy. Our valuation of 100% equity interest in the Target is therefore reported as being subject to ‘material valuation uncertainty’. Consequently, less certainty – and a higher degree of caution – should be attached to our valuation than would normally be the case. For the avoidance of doubt, the inclusion of the ‘material valuation uncertainty’ declaration above does not mean that the valuation cannot be relied upon. Rather, the declaration has been included to ensure transparency of the fact that – in the current extraordinary circumstances – less certainty can be attached to the valuation than would otherwise be the case. The material uncertainty clause is to serve as a precaution and does not invalidate the valuation. Given the unknown future impact that COVID-19 might have on the financial market and the difficulty in differentiating between short term impacts and long-term structural changes, we recommend that you keep the valuation contained within this report under frequent review.
Our opinion of value is made as at the Valuation Date only. Any value changes subsequent to the Valuation Date could be material depending on facts and circumstances.
Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of
Savills Valuation and Professional Services Limited

Re: Valuation Summary Letter
Property: 33 Apartments – “Adela”, 1a Gloucester Avenue, Burwood, NSW, Australia
We refer to instructions issued by Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd dated 6 July 2022 to provide a summary report of the valuation providing the Market Value “In One Line” of 33 Apartments – “Adela”, 1a Gloucester Avenue, Burwood, NSW, Australia. We have prepared a full and comprehensive Valuation Report for the property in accordance with our instructions from Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd for internal reporting purposes dated 30 June 2022.
This valuation summary letter (“summary letter”) has been prepared for part of a submission to The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Rules governing the listing of securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited) to be issued by China Aoyuan Group Limited as responsible entity for the sale of the property assessed.
Our full valuation report valuation report has been prepared in accordance with the Australian Property Institute’s Current Valuation Standard and Guidance Notes, RICS Valuation - Global Standards 2020 together with the Australian National Supplement effective August 2019 and International Valuation Standards (IVS).
This summary letter should be read in conjunction with the Valuation Report (prepared as at 30 June 2022) as we note this summary letter does not include all essential information and the assumptions which are detailed in our Valuation Report. The Valuation Report provides a detailed description of the property; its current configuration, location, assumptions impacting value and local market characteristics.
An extract from the valuation report comprising the Critical Assumptions is annexed to this summary letter.
We have assessed the valuation based on the Freehold Title of the property.
Market Value as defined by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and as adopted by the Australian Property Institute (API) is as follows:
“Market Value is 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.”
We have assessed the “In One Line” market value of the property in accordance with the Market Value definition referred to above. Furthermore, the Sale in One Line Definition is
– 165 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
‘Sale in one line’ is the value of the gross realisation of the individual completed lots sold in a single transaction less a discount that takes into consideration legal and selling costs, profit and risk, holding costs and acquisition costs.
In addition, we have been requested to assess an Estimated Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale.
We confirm that the valuer does not have a pecuniary interest that would conflict with a proper valuation of the interest in the property.
Savills Valuations Pty Ltd (“Savills”) charged a professional fee for producing the valuation report.
Material Assumptions
- The assessed “In One Line Value” via Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the units, sale rate for apartment stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances.

Valuation Methodology
The valuation is determined on the basis that the property, the Title thereto and its use is not affected by any matter other than that mentioned in the full valuation report. Furthermore, it has been assumed that reasonable resources are available in negotiating the sale and exposing the property to the market.
Given the nature of the subject property, we have primarily relied upon the Direct Comparison Approach to assess the value of the individual apartments and the Hypothetical Development Approach to assess the In One line Value.
This approach utilises our assessment of the estimated ‘total gross realisation’ value from which we have deducted selling costs and other costs including holding costs, finance costs and interest, and our adopted development (profit and risk) margin, to arrive at an estimate of the In One Line Value.
To ascertain the value of the individual apartments we have relied upon the below comparable sales:
Subject Complex
| Sales | No | Min Area **(m2) ** |
Max Area **(m2) ** |
Min Price |
Max Price | Avge Price | Min Rate | Max Rate |

| Construction Period | N/A – Development completed. |
| Holding Costs | Approximately $415,090 per annum (including Council Rates, Water Rates, Land Tax, Strata Levies). |
| Developers Margin | Profit and Risk expectations for a project of this nature would normally vary from 10% to 15%. In adopting an appropriate Profit and Risk factor for the subject project, we have had regard to the following factors: � The sale rate considered achievable for the apartments moving forward. � Current market conditions. � The adopted pricing of the apartments. � The quality of the apartments compared to the market. � Buyer pool in this capital value bracket. � New and modern apartment building. � The size and related capital value of the development. � Analysis of comparable developments. � The Inner West location and current market conditions. Having regard to the above, we have adopted a Profit and Risk Factor of 12.64%, being to the midpoint in the range assuming the new quality of apartments and the Inner West location. |
| GST Liability | We have been advised of the eligibility to adopt the Margin Rule (7%) for valuation purposes. Our calculations on this basis are as follows: Residential Realisation Including GST $38,110,000 Less GST $2,493,178 Gross Realisation Excluding GST $35,616,822 Note: The GST liability has been utilised for the purpose of the residual cash flow analysis and is an indicative figure only. |
Feasibility Conclusions
Our calculations result in an “In One Line” value of $30,000,000 including GST and $28,000,00 excluding GST (rounded). Our feasibility analysis reflects an Internal Rate of Return of 38.75% (including interest), and a net development profit of approximately $4,277,738 all of which appear to be reasonable for a development of this nature.

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
Critical Assumptions
| Market Movement | � This valuation is current as at the date of valuation and may change as a result of either external or specific factors affecting the property. We do not accept liability for losses arising from such subsequent changes in value. We will not accept liability where this valuation is relied upon after the expiration of three months from the date of valuation, or earlier if there are significant alterations to conditions affecting the value of the property. |
|---|---|
| Physical | � The valuer does not hold itself out to be an expert in building materials and has been unable to identify from a visual inspection whether the ‘cladding’ was constructed using compliant or non-compliant building products (i.e., combustible polyethylene core aluminium composite panels). � This valuation report has been prepared: (a) on the assumption that the building materials used, as well as the application and installation of those materials, comply with all approvals, regulatory requirements and codes. (b) without consideration to any diminution in value that may arise due to the identification of non- compliant building products within the property development. Should this not be the case, we reserve the right to review our valuation. The valuer strongly advises the reader to investigate the nature of the building components and satisfy itself as to the potential risks and costs which could be incurred should the existing building components have to be remedied, replaced or adapted. |
| In One Line Value | � The assessed “In One Line Value” via Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the units, sale rate for apartment stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances. |
| GST | � That any reliant party has taken all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the GST remittance changes from 1 July 2018 i.e., the Federal Government's requirement that purchasers of new residential premises will remit the GST directly to the ATO as part of settlement. � We have been provided with written confirmation of the eligibility of using the Margin Scheme by Aoyuan Property Group (International) Limited. The Margin Value to be applied is proportionate to 7% of the Gross Realisable Value. |
| CGT | � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the foreign resident capital gains tax withholding scheme changes under the Federal Budget 2017, under which: Australian resident vendors of real property of $750,000 or more must provide a Clearance Certificate issued by the ATO to a purchaser on settlement of the sale, to avoid the purchaser withholding 12.5% of the purchase price and remitting it as withholding tax to the ATO; and Foreign resident vendors will see 12.5% of the purchase price being withheld and remitted to the ATO, unless the ATO approves a Variation. |
| Gross Realisation | � The Gross Realisation assessment reflects an orderly sale of the apartments over time and is not reflective of an “In One Line Value” which has been separately assessed. |
| EPBC Act | � That the subject property is not impacted in any way by matters covered by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), including, but not limited to, listed threatened species and ecological communities or migratory species protected under international agreements. |
| Occupation Certificate | � A part Occupation Certificate (OC20-047) was certified on 22 October 2021 by Metropolitan Building Approvals for the construction of residential flat building consisting of 4 towers and containing 103 units and two levels of basement car parking. The occupation certificate excluded all rooftop and barbeque areas. � We assume there are not outstanding works/defects that will affect the marketing of the apartments |
| Body Corporate | � We have not undertaken a search of the body corporate records and we assume that there is no current payment liability on the body corporate in relation to capital expenditure programs. � We also assume that there are no indications from the minutes of meetings held that there are any areas of structural (or other) concern that may give rise to a special levy to be borne by the owners. We recommend any reliant party verify the position of the Body Corporate and any areas of concern prior to advancing funds. |
| Inspection | � We note that we were not provided access to all individual units, however we did inspect each unit type. For the purpose of this valuation, we have assumed that these unseen units are of an identical nature in terms of finishes to the inspected apartments. |
| Contamination | � We assume that the subject property is free from elevated levels of contaminants. |
– 176 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| Encumbrances, Restrictions, Caveats etc. |
� Our valuation is on the basis that the property is free of encumbrances, restrictions, caveats, or other impediments of an onerous nature which could affect value. Our valuation has been undertaken on the basis the property is free of mortgages, charges and other financial liens. |
|---|---|
| Marketing Period | � We have assumed a standard marketing period for the subject apartments is likely to be 10 months given the market reluctance to purchase the remaining stock in the subject complex. � The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 7 months and assumes a higher marketing budget and a more conservative value/price to attract buyers within a shorter sale period. |
| General | � The sales information has been obtained from a number of sources including RP Data and registered government sales transfers. Whilst we understand the information to be reliable, we are unable to guarantee the accuracy. � Unless otherwise set out in the Proposal, Savills is not aware of any conflict of interest in accepting your instruction to value the Property and the valuer set out in the Proposal is in a position to provide an objective and unbiased valuation. � We confirm that the valuer undertaking this valuation is considered to have the appropriate level of skills and competence to complete the valuation to a professional standard, taking into account the property type. � We recommend that the reliant party undertake a search of the titles as Savills has only searched a sample lot to ensure there are no notations on title that may impact value. � That all apartments have unencumbered title and that any outstanding development contributions have been paid with nothing inhibiting the potential realisable sale of each unit individually or in aggregate. � Following the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian military in late February 2022, there was an immediate impact on the global economy due, in part, to sanctions imposed on Russia, rising oil and gas prices and the restriction of exported goods from Ukraine and Russia. Since the date of the invasion, there has already been an impact on the Australian economy, including rising inflation and increased interest rates, and we anticipate this will in turn affect the property markets. Whilst the residential property markets continue to perform well, our valuation has been prepared against the backdrop of a very challenging economic outlook. There are concerns as to how the Australian economy will perform going forward given the current inflationary pressure, the cost of living crisis and rising interest rates that are impacting on the cost of debt. Although there is good liquidity in the market, with a significant amount of capital seeking opportunities, the ongoing geo-political headwinds, economic uncertainty and rising cost of debt finance, may impact pricing in some areas of the market such that prices fall from their current levels. We stress the importance of the valuation date and recommend that the value of the property is kept under regular review. For the avoidance of doubt, our valuation is not reported as being subject to ‘material valuation uncertainty’. |
Should any of the assumptions in our full valuation report be incorrect or inaccurate, then we reserve the right to amend the valuation, the report and this summary report.

Re: Valuation Summary Letter Property: 11 Apartments – “Altessa”, 888 Pacific Highway, Gordon, NSW, Australia
We refer to instructions issued by Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd dated 6 July 2022 to provide a summary report of the valuation providing the Market Value “In One Line” of 11 Apartments – “Altessa”, 888 Pacific Highway, Gordon, NSW, Australia. We have prepared a full and comprehensive Valuation Report for the property in accordance with our instructions from Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd for internal reporting purposes dated 30 June 2022.
This valuation summary letter (“summary letter”) has been prepared for part of a submission to The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Rules governing the listing of securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited) to be issued by China Aoyuan Group Limited as responsible entity for the sale of the property assessed.
Our full valuation report valuation report has been prepared in accordance with the Australian Property Institute’s Current Valuation Standard and Guidance Notes, RICS Valuation - Global Standards 2020 together with the Australian National Supplement effective August 2019 and International Valuation Standards (IVS).
This summary letter should be read in conjunction with the Valuation Report (prepared as at 30 June 2022) as we note this summary letter does not include all essential information and the assumptions which are detailed in our Valuation Report. The Valuation Report provides a detailed description of the property; its current configuration, location, assumptions impacting value and local market characteristics.
An extract from the valuation report comprising the Critical Assumptions is annexed to this summary letter.
We have assessed the valuation based on the Freehold Title of the property.
Market Value as defined by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and as adopted by the Australian Property Institute (API) is as follows:
“Market Value is 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.”
We have assessed the “In One Line” market value of the property in accordance with the Market Value definition referred to above. Furthermore, the Sale in One Line Definition is
– 178 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
‘Sale in one line’ is the value of the gross realisation of the individual completed lots sold in a single transaction less a discount that takes into consideration legal and selling costs, profit and risk, holding costs and acquisition costs.
In addition, we have been requested to assess an Estimated Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale.
We confirm that the valuer does not have a pecuniary interest that would conflict with a proper valuation of the interest in the property.
Savills Valuations Pty Ltd (“Savills”) charged a professional fee for producing the valuation report.
Material Assumptions
- The assessed “In One Line Value” via Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the units, sale rate for apartment stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances.
Valuation Summary
| Valuation Summary | |
|---|---|
| Interest Valued | 100% Freehold |
| Title Details | Various lots - SP101278 |
| Registered Owner | Prime Gordon Pty Ltd. |
| Zoning | B4 Mixed Use under the Ku-ring-gai Local Environmental Plan 2015 |
| Location | The subject property is located within Gordon on the Upper North Shore of Sydney, approximately 14 kilometres northwest of the Sydney Central Business District (CBD) and is within the Local Government Area administered by the Ku-ring-gai Council. More particularly the subject property is located on the western side of Pacific Highway between Merriwa Street and Ryde Road. The development is bounded by the Pacific Highway to the east and Fitzsimons Lane to the west. Surrounding development comprises primarily medium density apartment and retail properties along the Pacific Highway and medium density residential properties to the west. Beyond this is mostly established residential dwellings. The development is well serviced by public transport with bus services available 300 metres to the southeast of the development on the Pacific Highway and Gordon train station 1 kilometre to the southeast. |
| Property Description | The parent development comprises the “Altessa” project, which is a mixed-use development of three buildings with a total of 143 apartments, 6 strata retail suites on the ground floor with frontage to the Pacific Highway, communal roof top areas and basement parking. The development was completed in July 2020. The apartments subject to assessment comprise 11 x 2 bedroom apartments. The two bedroom apartments range in size from 73m2to 89m2internally and 13m2to 116m2of external space being a courtyard or balcony. The apartments are fitted to a good standard, with reconstituted stone bench tops in the kitchens, stainless steel appliances, ducted air conditioning, and security intercom access. We note the apartments subject to assessment comprise mostly (9) of one apartment type in Building A which look directly into an adjoining development and lack privacy. |
| Encumbrances | The sample Title document lists the following notifications: � AR752180 Mortgage to Gresham Property Investments Pty Ltd. |
| Environmental Comment | The present use of the subject property as an apartment building is not classified as a “potentially contaminating activity, industry or land use” as defined under the API’s Australia Real Property Guidance Note 1 – Land Contamination Issues (Appendix 2) and is considered a low risk use in regard to potential for site contamination. The subject property is not contained within the EPA’s “List of Issued Certificates and Statements of Environmental Audit” based on our recent online search. We also note that the subject |

| Environmental Comment (contd) | property and surrounding immediate development as at the date of valuation, is not subject to an “Environmental Audit Overlay” under the Ku-Ring-Gai Planning Scheme. A visual site inspection has not revealed any obvious pollution or contamination. Nevertheless, we wish to advise that we are not qualified to provide advice on the physical condition of the land, and we are not aware of any geotechnical and/or environmental defects with the land. Further, we have not sighted any environmental audits or geotechnical reports, which suggest site contamination or defects. This valuation has therefore been made on the assumption that there are no actual or potential contamination issues affecting: - � The value or marketing of the property; or � The site. |

Valuation Methodology
We have assessed the valuation on the basis of Freehold Title.
The valuation is determined on the basis that the property, the Title thereto and its use is not affected by any matter other than that mentioned in the full valuation report. Furthermore, it has been assumed that reasonable resources are available in negotiating the sale and exposing the property to the market. Given the nature of the subject property, we have primarily relied upon the Direct Comparison Approach to assess the value of the individual apartments and the Hypothetical Development Approach to assess the In One line Value.
This approach utilises our assessment of the estimated ‘total gross realisation’ value from which we have deducted selling costs and other costs including holding costs, finance costs and interest, and our adopted development (profit and risk) margin, to arrive at an estimate of the In One Line Value.
To ascertain the value of the individual apartments we have relied upon the below comparable sales:

Max Area **(m2) ** |

Savills Valuations Pty Ltd accepts no responsibility to third parties nor does it contemplate that the valuation report will be relied upon by third parties (other than in relation to the market valuation referred to in this summary letter). We invite other parties who may come into possession of the valuation report seek our written consent to them relying upon the valuation report and we reserve our rights to review the contents in the event that our consent is sought.
This Valuation is current at the date of valuation only. The value assessed herein may change significantly and unexpectedly over a relatively short period of time (including as a result of general market movements or factors specific to the particular property). Liability for losses arising from such subsequent changes in value is excluded as a liability where the valuation is relied upon after the expiration of 90 days from the date of valuation, or such earlier date if you become aware of any factors that have any effect on the valuation.

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
Critical Assumptions
| Market Movement | � This valuation is current as at the date of valuation and may change as a result of either external or specific factors affecting the property. We do not accept liability for losses arising from such subsequent changes in value. We will not accept liability where this valuation is relied upon after the expiration of three months from the date of valuation, or earlier if there are significant alterations to conditions affecting the value of the property. |
|---|---|
| Physical | � The valuer does not hold itself out to be an expert in building materials and has been unable to identify from a visual inspection whether the ‘cladding’ was constructed using compliant or non-compliant building products (i.e., combustible polyethylene core aluminium composite panels). � This valuation report has been prepared: (a) on the assumption that the building materials used, as well as the application and installation of those materials, comply with all approvals, regulatory requirements and codes. (b) without consideration to any diminution in value that may arise due to the identification of non- compliant building products within the property development. Should this not be the case, we reserve the right to review our valuation. The valuer strongly advises the reader to investigate the nature of the building components and satisfy itself as to the potential risks and costs which could be incurred should the existing building components have to be remedied, replaced or adapted. |
| In One Line Value | � The assessed “In One Line Value” via Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the units, sale rate for apartment stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances. |
| GST | � That any reliant party has taken all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the GST remittance changes from 1 July 2018 i.e., the Federal Government's requirement that purchasers of new residential premises will remit the GST directly to the ATO as part of settlement. � We have not been provided with independent Accounting or Legal advice regarding the eligibility of using the margin scheme for this development. As this falls outside the scope of our investigations, we have applied the full GST impost in our feasibilities and to our ‘as if complete’ values on a GST exclusive basis. |
| CGT | � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the foreign resident capital gains tax withholding scheme changes under the Federal Budget 2017, under which: Australian resident vendors of real property of $750,000 or more must provide a Clearance Certificate issued by the ATO to a purchaser on settlement of the sale, to avoid the purchaser withholding 12.5% of the purchase price and remitting it as withholding tax to the ATO; and Foreign resident vendors will see 12.5% of the purchase price being withheld and remitted to the ATO, unless the ATO approves a Variation. |
| Gross Realisation | � The Gross Realisation assessment reflects an orderly sale of the apartments over time and is not reflective of an “In One Line Value” which has been separately assessed. |
| EPBC Act | � That the subject property is not impacted in any way by matters covered by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), including, but not limited to, listed threatened species and ecological communities or migratory species protected under international agreements. |
| Occupation Certificate | � A Final Occupation Certificate (No.9695-02-2020-FOC) was certified on 3 July 2020 by AE&D Pty Ltd for a (DA0180/14) mixed use development containing 3 buildings, 147 units, retail space, basement parking and landscaping work and modification MOD0006/19. � We assume there are not outstanding works/defects that will affect the marketing of the apartments. |
| Body Corporate | � We have not undertaken a search of the body corporate records and we assume that there is no current payment liability on the body corporate in relation to capital expenditure programs. � We also assume that there are no indications from the minutes of meetings held that there are any areas of structural (or other) concern that may give rise to a special levy to be borne by the owners. We recommend any reliant party verify the position of the Body Corporate and any areas of concern prior to advancing funds. |
| Inspection | � We note that we were not provided access to all individual units, however we did inspect each unit type. For the purpose of this valuation, we have assumed that these unseen units are of an identical nature in terms of finishes to the inspected apartments. |
| Contamination | � We assume that the subject property is free from elevated levels of contaminants. |
– 187 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| Encumbrances, Restrictions, Caveats etc. |
� Our valuation is on the basis that the property is free of encumbrances, restrictions, caveats, or other impediments of an onerous nature which could affect value. Our valuation has been undertaken on the basis the property is free of mortgages, charges and other financial liens. |
|---|---|
| Marketing Period | � We have assumed a standard marketing period for the subject apartments is likely to be 12 months given the market reluctance to purchase the remaining stock in the subject complex. � The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 5 months and assumes a higher marketing budget and a more conservative value/price to attract buyers within a shorter sale period. |
| General | � The sales information has been obtained from a number of sources including RP Data and registered government sales transfers. Whilst we understand the information to be reliable, we are unable to guarantee the accuracy. � Unless otherwise set out in the Proposal, Savills is not aware of any conflict of interest in accepting your instruction to value the Property and the valuer set out in the Proposal is in a position to provide an objective and unbiased valuation. � We confirm that the valuer undertaking this valuation is considered to have the appropriate level of skills and competence to complete the valuation to a professional standard, taking into account the property type. � We recommend that the reliant party undertake a search of the titles as Savills has only searched a sample lot to ensure there are no notations on title that may impact value. � That all apartments have unencumbered title and that any outstanding development contributions have been paid with nothing inhibiting the potential realisable sale of each unit individually or in aggregate. � Following the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian military in late February 2022, there was an immediate impact on the global economy due, in part, to sanctions imposed on Russia, rising oil and gas prices and the restriction of exported goods from Ukraine and Russia. Since the date of the invasion, there has already been an impact on the Australian economy, including rising inflation and increased interest rates, and we anticipate this will in turn affect the property markets. Whilst the residential property markets continue to perform well, our valuation has been prepared against the backdrop of a very challenging economic outlook. There are concerns as to how the Australian economy will perform going forward given the current inflationary pressure, the cost of living crisis and rising interest rates that are impacting on the cost of debt. Although there is good liquidity in the market, with a significant amount of capital seeking opportunities, the ongoing geo-political headwinds, economic uncertainty and rising cost of debt finance, may impact pricing in some areas of the market such that prices fall from their current levels. We stress the importance of the valuation date and recommend that the value of the property is kept under regular review. For the avoidance of doubt, our valuation is not reported as being subject to ‘material valuation uncertainty’. |
Should any of the assumptions in our full valuation report be incorrect or inaccurate, then we reserve the right to amend the valuation, the report and this summary report.

Re: Valuation Summary Letter Property: “Ashbourne”, 141 Yarrawa Road and 32 Lovelle Street, Moss Vale NSW, Australia
We refer to instructions issued by Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd dated 6 July 2022 to provide a summary report of the valuation providing the Market Value of “Ashbourne”, 141 Yarrawa Road and 32 Lovelle Street, Moss Vale NSW, Australia. We have prepared a full and comprehensive Valuation Report for the property in accordance with our instructions from Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd for internal reporting purposes dated 30 June 2022.
This valuation summary letter (“summary letter”) has been prepared for part of a submission to The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Rules governing the listing of securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited) to be issued by China Aoyuan Group Limited as responsible entity for the sale of the property assessed.
Our full valuation report valuation report has been prepared in accordance with the Australian Property Institute’s Current Valuation Standard and Guidance Notes, RICS Valuation - Global Standards 2020 together with the Australian National Supplement effective August 2019 and International Valuation Standards (IVS).
This summary letter should be read in conjunction with the Valuation Report (prepared as at 30 June 2022) as we note this summary letter does not include all essential information and the assumptions which are detailed in our Valuation Report. The Valuation Report provides a detailed description of the property; its current configuration, location, assumptions impacting value and local market characteristics.
An extract from the valuation report comprising the Critical Assumptions is annexed to this summary letter.
We have assessed the valuation based on the Freehold Title of the property.
Market Value as defined by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and as adopted by the Australian Property Institute (API) is as follows:
“Market Value is 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.”
– 189 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
In addition, we have been requested to assess an Estimated Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale.
We confirm that the valuer does not have a pecuniary interest that would conflict with a proper valuation of the interest in the property.
Savills Valuations Pty Ltd (“Savills”) charges a professional fee for producing valuation reports, and a fee has been paid for the Valuation Report and this Summary Letter.
Material Assumptions
- The assessed land value via the Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the status of approvals, civil construction costs, associated development costs, interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the completed units, adopted pre-sales prior to construction, sale rate for completed stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed land value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances.

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| Environmental Comment | The present use of the subject property for agricultural purposes is classified as a “potentially contaminating activity, industry or land use” as defined under the API’s Australia Real Property Guidance Note 1 – Land Contamination Issues (Appendix 2) and is considered a medium risk use in regard to potential for site contamination. The subject property is not contained within the EPA’s “List of Issued Certificates and Statements of Environmental Audit” based on our recent online search. We also note that the subject property and surrounding immediate development as at the date of valuation, is not subject to an “Environmental Audit Overlay” under the Wingecarribee City Planning Scheme. A visual site inspection has not revealed any obvious pollution or contamination. Nevertheless, we wish to advise that we are not qualified to provide advice on the physical condition of the land, and we are not aware of any geotechnical and/or environmental defects with the land. Further, we have not sighted any environmental audits or geotechnical reports, which suggest site contamination or defects. This valuation has therefore been made on the assumption that there are no actual or potential contamination issues affecting: - � The value or marketing of the property; or � The site. Verification that the property is free from contamination and has not been affected by pollutants of any kind may be obtained from a suitably qualified environmental expert. Should we subsequently be advised of any contamination and/or defects we reserve the right to reassess our valuation. We do note we have been advised by the Instructing Party that the Environmental reports have been prepared which suggest that past grazing activities may have resulted in agrochemicals or heavy metal contamination, however the risk is low. We have not sighted these reports. Direct Comparison and Hypothetical Feasibility 12 July 2022 30 June 2022 $91,000,000 $82,800,000 |

Valuation Methodology
We have assessed the valuation on the basis of Freehold Title.
The valuation is determined on the basis that the property, the Title thereto and its use is not affected by any matter other than that mentioned in the full valuation report. Furthermore, it has been assumed that reasonable resources are available in negotiating the sale and exposing the property to the market. Given the nature of the subject property, we have primarily relied upon the Direct Comparison Approach to assess the value of the individual allotments and the Direct Comparison Approach and Hypothetical Development Approach to assess the current Market Value of the site.
The Hypothetical Development Approach utilises our assessment of the estimated ‘total gross realisation’ value from which we have deducted selling costs and other costs including holding costs, finance costs and interest, and our adopted development (profit and risk) margin, to arrive at an estimate of the Residual Land Value.

Feasibility Conclusions
Our calculations result in a residual value of $90,190,465 excluding GST, which we have rounded to $91,000,000 excluding GST for practical valuation purposes. Our feasibility analysis reflects an Internal Rate of Return of 9.89% including interest, and a net development profit of approximately $88,017,694 all of which appear to be reasonable for a development of this nature.
We have assumed the standard marketing period for a development of this scale with a project duration of circa 10 years is 3-6 months to allow a prospective purchaser to undertake the required due diligence to inform purchase decisions.
The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 1.5-3 months and assumes full due diligence would not be able to be undertaken which would be reflected in a more conservative value.

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
Critical Assumptions
| Market Movement | � This valuation is current as at the date of valuation and may change as a result of either external or specific factors affecting the property. We do not accept liability for losses arising from such subsequent changes in value. We will not accept liability where this valuation is relied upon after the expiration of three months from the date of valuation, or earlier if there are significant alterations to conditions affecting the value of the property. � This valuation is conditional upon development being undertaken in the immediate future and that the site will not be “landbanked”. The “As Is” value is current as at the date of valuation only. It is not suitable for long term passive lending. If the site needs to be retained “As Is” for an extended period of time, it is likely that a lower site value may apply, or it may result after accounting for holding costs and changes in market environment in addition to any variation to construction costs. |
|---|---|
| Physical | � The valuer does not hold itself out to be an expert in building materials and has been unable to identify from a visual inspection of the property whether the ‘cladding’ constructed on the Sales Office or contained within any existing improvements has used compliant or non-compliant building products (i.e., combustible polyethylene core aluminium composite panels). A Certificate of Compliance and/or Certification of building materials for the property has not been sighted nor confirmed by the valuer. This valuation report has been prepared: (a) on the assumption that the building materials used, as well as the application and installation of those materials, comply with all approvals, regulatory requirements and codes. (b) without consideration to any diminution in value that may arise due to the identification of non- compliant building products within the property/development. Should this not be the case, we reserve the right to review our valuation. The valuer strongly advises the reader to investigate the nature of the existing building components and satisfy itself as to the potential risks and costs which could be incurred should the existing/new/future/currently proposed building component have to be remedied, replaced or adapted. |
| Construction Costs | � The civil construction estimate provided by Rider Levett Bucknell including VPA works and main roadworks (excluding GST and Contingency) of $166,262,105 equates to $154,806 per proposed residential allotment, which is considered to be within acceptable market parameters and has been adopted in our valuation. We note the original QS advice provided for valuation purposes has been escalated in line with documentation provided by Aoyuan from Rider Levett Bucknell which indicate average price increases of circa 20% since the original advice was provided. � Additional allowances have been made for Design Fees, Council Contributions, Contingency and Development Management. � We note some minor adjustments to lot numbers per stage have been provided by Aoyuan as well as updated Professional Fees. � Construction and development of the project can be undertaken for the amount described above, in accordance with the documents provided by Rider Levett Bucknell and Aoyuan. We have adopted the construction and development costs provided as part of our instruction. Should the supplied costs be proven to be inadequate to deliver the project, Savills reserves the right to review this valuation accordingly. � We are not Quantity Surveyors nor are we Consulting Engineers. We have relied upon cost estimates provided and on the basis that the cost provided and adopted are accurate. We recommend the engagement of an independent Quantity Surveyor to confirm same. Should the cost estimate differ to that adopted within, then this report should be referred back to the Valuer for comment and accordingly we reserve the right to amend the assessment within |
| Land Value | � The assessed land value via the Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the status of approvals, civil construction costs, associated development costs, interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the completed units, adopted pre-sales prior to construction, sale rate for completed stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed land value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances. |
| GST | � We have not been provided with independent Accounting or Legal advice regarding the eligibility of using the margin scheme for this development. As this falls outside the scope of our investigations, we have applied the full GST impost in our feasibilities and to our ‘as if complete’ values on a GST exclusive basis. As a result, GST on the development costs will be assessed at 10% to be remitted two months later, while GST on gross realisations will be assessed at 1/11th. All costs within our cash flow model are quoted, where applicable, excluding GST. � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the GST remittance changes from 1 July 2018 i.e., the Federal Government's requirement that purchasers of new residential premises will remit the GST directly to the ATO as part of settlement. |
– 204 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| CGT | � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the foreign resident capital gains tax withholding scheme changes under the Federal Budget 2017, under which: Australian resident vendors of real property of $750,000 or more must provide a Clearance Certificate issued by the ATO to a purchaser on settlement of the sale, to avoid the purchaser withholding 12.5% of the purchase price and remitting it as withholding tax to the ATO; and Foreign resident vendors will see 12.5% of the purchase price being withheld and remitted to the ATO, unless the ATO approves a Variation. |
|---|---|
| Construction Timeframe | � We have adopted a construction period for the project of circa 97 months, based on the advice provided by Aoyuan and our assumed take up of lots. We have assumed this to be an accurate forecast and have adopted this within our Residual Cash Flow analysis. |
| “As If Complete” Assessment |
� The “As If Complete” assessment is the estimated market value of the proposed development as detailed in this report on the assumption that all construction has been satisfactorily completed in all respects at the date of this report. Because of time lag and unknown future market conditions the valuation reflects the valuer’s view of the market conditions existing at the date of valuation and does not purport to predict future market conditions and the value at the actual completion date. |
| Construction Quality & Compliance |
� The “As If Complete” assessment is provided on the basis that the proposed improvements will be constructed in a tradesman like manner using new, quality materials and having regard to modern building techniques. Our valuation assumes that: � A detailed report of the structure and service installations of the building once completed would not reveal any defects requiring significant expenditure. � The building will comply with all relevant statutory requirements in respect of matters such as health, building and fire safety regulations, and will be built in accordance with the provisions of the Building Code of Australia. |
| EPBC Act | � That the subject property is not impacted in any way by matters covered by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), including, but not limited to, listed threatened species and ecological communities or migratory species protected under international agreements. |
| Development Approvals (Including Plans & Specifications) |
� The site has Development Approval for Stage 1. We have been provided with concept plans and drawings for the balance stages which have been relied upon when undertaking our Hypothetical Development exercise. Should there be any subsequent changes to the concept plans or onerous condition implied by the subsequent Development Approval for the latter stages, this valuation must not be relied upon before first consulting Savills to reassess any effect on the valuation. |
| Contamination | � We assume that the subject property is free from elevated levels of contaminants and have therefore made no allowance in our valuation for site remediation. |
| Encumbrances, Restrictions, Caveats etc. |
� Our valuation is on the basis that the property is free of encumbrances, restrictions, caveats, or other impediments of an onerous nature which could affect value. Our valuation has been undertaken on the basis the property is free of mortgages, charges and other financial liens. |
| Marketing Period | � We have assumed the standard marketing period for a development of this scale with a project duration of circa 10 years is 3-6 months to allow a prospective purchaser to undertake the required due diligence to inform purchase decisions. � The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 1.5-3 months and assumes full due diligence would not be able to be undertaken which would be reflected in a more conservative value. |
| General | � The sales information has been obtained from a number of sources including RP Data and registered government sales transfers. Whilst we understand the information to be reliable, we are unable to guarantee the accuracy. � Unless otherwise set out in the Proposal, Savills is not aware of any conflict of interest in accepting your instruction to value the Property and the valuer set out in the Proposal is in a position to provide an objective and unbiased valuation. � We confirm that the valuer undertaking this valuation is considered to have the appropriate level of skills and competence to complete the valuation to a professional standard, taking into account the property type. � Following the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian military in late February 2022, there was an immediate impact on the global economy due, in part, to sanctions imposed on Russia, rising oil and gas prices and the restriction of exported goods from Ukraine and Russia. Since the date of the invasion, there has already been an impact on the Australian economy, including rising inflation and increased interest rates, and we anticipate this will in turn affect the property markets. Whilst the residential property markets continue to perform well, our valuation has been prepared against the backdrop of a very challenging economic outlook. There are concerns as to how the Australian economy |

will perform going forward given the current inflationary pressure, the cost of living crisis and rising interest rates that are impacting on the cost of debt. Although there is good liquidity in the market, with a significant amount of capital seeking opportunities, the ongoing geo-political headwinds, economic uncertainty and rising cost of debt finance, may impact pricing in some areas of the market such that prices fall from their current levels.
� We stress the importance of the valuation date and recommend that the value of the property is kept under regular review. For the avoidance of doubt, our valuation is not reported as being subject to ‘material valuation uncertainty’.
Should any of the assumptions in our full valuation report be incorrect or inaccurate, then we reserve the right to amend the valuation, the report and this summary report.

Re: Valuation Summary Letter Property: “Mesa”, 61-75 Forest Road and 126 Durham Street, Hurstville NSW, Australia
We refer to instructions issued by Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd dated 6 July 2022 to provide a summary report of the valuation providing the Market Value of “Mesa”, 61-75 Forest Road and 126 Durham Street, Hurstville NSW, Australia. We have prepared a full and comprehensive Valuation Report for the property in accordance with our instructions from Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd for internal reporting purposes dated 30 June 2022.
This valuation summary letter (“summary letter”) has been prepared for part of a submission to The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Rules governing the listing of securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited) to be issued by China Aoyuan Group Limited as responsible entity for the sale of the property assessed.
Our full valuation report valuation report has been prepared in accordance with the Australian Property Institute’s Current Valuation Standard and Guidance Notes, RICS Valuation - Global Standards 2020 together with the Australian National Supplement effective August 2019 and International Valuation Standards (IVS).
This summary letter should be read in conjunction with the Valuation Report (prepared as at 30 June 2022) as we note this summary letter does not include all essential information and the assumptions which are detailed in our Valuation Report. The Valuation Report provides a detailed description of the property; its current configuration, location, assumptions impacting value and local market characteristics.
An extract from the valuation report comprising the Critical Assumptions is annexed to this summary letter.
We have assessed the valuation based on the Freehold Title of the property.
Market Value as defined by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and as adopted by the Australian Property Institute (API) is as follows:
“Market Value is 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.”
In addition, we have been requested to assess an Estimated Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale.

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| Environmental Comment. | Given the age of the property, asbestos risk is present. Accordingly, we recommend that this risk be investigated and reviewed prior to reliance on this report. The present and past use of the subject property for automotive type uses is classified as a “potentially contaminating activity, industry or land use” as defined under the API’s Australia Real Property Guidance Note 1 – Land Contamination Issues (Appendix 2) and is considered a high risk use in regard to potential for site contamination. The subject property is not contained within the EPA’s “List of Issued Certificates and Statements of Environmental Audit” based on our recent online search. We also note that the subject property and surrounding immediate development as at the date of valuation, is not subject to an “Environmental Audit Overlay” under the George River City Planning Scheme. We have been provided with a Remediation Action Plan prepared by ERM dated August 2020. The report notes the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons, naphthalene, volatile organic compounds and heavy metals as well as underground storage tanks. We have assumed, as instructed that the costs provided allow for remediation of the site. Savills does not have expertise in environmental or contamination risk. Given the risks of contamination from both the current and past uses of the site, it is recommended that any reliant party satisfy itself as to the risks and potential liabilities it is exposed to in relation to contamination of the site, and potential offsite migration of contaminants. |

Valuation Methodology
We have assessed the valuation on the basis of Freehold Title.
The valuation is determined on the basis that the property, the Title thereto and its use is not affected by any matter other than that mentioned in the full valuation report. Furthermore, it has been assumed that reasonable resources are available in negotiating the sale and exposing the property to the market.
Given the nature of the subject property, we have relied upon the Direct Comparison Approach to assess the value of the individual apartments and the Capitalisation and Discounted Cash Flow methods to ascertain the value of the retail and hotel components.
The Direct Comparison Approach and Hypothetical Development Approach have been utilised to assess the current Market Value of the site.
The Hypothetical Development Approach utilises our assessment of the estimated ‘total gross realisation’ value from which we have deducted selling costs and other costs including holding costs, finance costs and interest, and our adopted development (profit and risk) margin, to arrive at an estimate of the Residual Land Value.
To ascertain the value of the individual apartments we have relied upon the below comparable sales:

Our Hypothetical Development Assessment is detailed below:
| ur Hypothetical Development | Assessment is detailed below: |
|---|---|
| Input | Amount / Comments |
| Gross Realisation | Residential - $244,341,000 including GST Retail - $46,500,000 excluding GST Hotel - $22,000,000 excluding GST |
| Rate of Sale | Having regard to the existing presales we have assumed that the remaining unsold apartments will be sold ‘off the plan’ during the construction period and within 18 months post construction. We have assumed the hotel and retail components will transact on practical completion. |
| Selling Costs Marketing Costs Legal Costs |
Residential – 2.2% Retail – 1.5% Hotel – 1.5%$ Residential – $2,500 per apartment Retail – $30,000 Hotel – $30,000 Residential – $750 per apartment Retail – $25,000 Hotel – $25,000 |
| Site Acquisition Costs Legal Fees on Acquisition |
7.2% of purchase price $150,000 |
| Construction/Development Cost | $137,864,337 excluding GST (as per Section 9 of this Report) |
| Interest Rate Application Fee |
5.00% per annum (on the basis of 100% debt funding and including line fees) $400,000 |
| Construction Period | 22 months |
| Holding Costs | Approximately $380,000 per annum (including Council rates and Land Tax) |
| Developers Margin | Profit and Risk expectations for a project of this nature would normally vary from 20% to 25%. In adopting an appropriate Profit and Risk factor for the subject project, we have had regard to the following factors: � Limited pre-sales to date. � No pre-commitment for the retail or hotel space. � A third party Building Contract has not been executed � The Contract sum has not been verified by a QS � The cost and revenue parameters of the project are largely known � The size and related capital value of the development � Analysis of comparable developments � The southern Sydney location Having regard to the above, we have adopted a Profit and Risk Factor of 22.49%, being the approximate mid-point of the adopted range. |
| GST Liability | We have adopted the General Tax Rule Scheme for valuation purposes. Our calculations on this basis are as follows: Residential Realisation Including GST $244,341,000 Less GST $22,212,818 Gross Realisation Excluding GST $222,128,182 Plus: Hotel $22,000,000 Plus: Retail $46,500,000 Gross Realisation Excluding GST $290,628,182 Note: The GST liability has been utilised for the purpose of the residual cash flow analysis and is an indicative figure only. |
Feasibility Conclusions
Our calculations result in a residual value of $42,984,912 excluding GST, which we have rounded to $43,000,000 excluding GST for practical valuation purposes. Our feasibility analysis reflects an Internal Rate of Return of 10.48% (including interest), and a net development profit of approximately $53,355,221, all of which appear to be reasonable for a development of this nature.
We have assumed the standard marketing period for a development of this scale with a mixed use profile incorporating retail, hotel and residential with limited pre-commitments, however advanced planning is 3-
– 218 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
6 months to allow a prospective purchaser to undertake the required due diligence to inform purchase decisions.
The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 1.5-3 months and assumes full due diligence would not be able to be undertaken which would be reflected in a more conservative value.
Practically, this scenario therefore assumes that a prospective buyer would look to increase the risk allowances to cover less than full diligence.
For the purposes of an assessment based on these adopted assumptions we have increased the Profit and Risk allowance in our residual land value analysis by 3 basis points to 25.5% which indicates a residual land value of $38,500,000 which has been adopted under this valuation scenario.
Whilst our analysis could alter other inputs in the feasibility such as apartment price and Hotel and Retail component values, and sale rate and cost, realistically the sale rate of the apartments/components, the value of the completed apartments/components and the cost of producing the development does not change. The risk essentially lies with the acquisition of a project with a long development life without exploring all aspects of the project to ascertain an educated and informed acquisition.
Feasibility Conclusions
Our calculations result in a residual value of $38,585,459 excluding GST, which we have rounded to $38,500,000 excluding GST for practical valuation purposes. Our feasibility analysis reflects an Internal Rate of Return of 11.94% including interest, and a net development profit of approximately $59,168,606 all of which appear to be reasonable for a development of this nature .

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
Critical Assumptions
| Market Movement | � This valuation is current as at the date of valuation and may change as a result of either external or specific factors affecting the property. We do not accept liability for losses arising from such subsequent changes in value. We will not accept liability where this valuation is relied upon after the expiration of three months from the date of valuation, or earlier if there are significant alterations to conditions affecting the value of the property. � This valuation is conditional upon development being undertaken in the immediate future and that the site will not be “landbanked”. The “As Is” value is current as at the date of valuation only. It is not suitable for long term passive lending. If the site needs to be retained “As Is” for an extended period of time, it is likely that a lower site value may apply, or it may result after accounting for holding costs and changes in market environment in addition to any variation to construction costs. |
|---|---|
| Physical | � The valuer does not hold itself out to be an expert in building materials and has been unable to identify from a visual inspection of the proposed plans whether the ‘cladding’ to be constructed will use compliant or non-compliant building products (i.e., combustible polyethylene core aluminium composite panels). A Certificate of Compliance and/or Certification of building materials for the development has not been sighted nor confirmed by the valuer. This valuation report has been prepared: (a) on the assumption that the building materials used, as well as the application and installation of those materials, comply with all approvals, regulatory requirements and codes. (b) without consideration to any diminution in value that may arise due to the identification of non-compliant building products within the development. Should this not be the case, we reserve the right to review our valuation. The valuer strongly advises the reader to investigate the nature of the currently proposed building components and satisfy itself as to the potential risks and costs which could be incurred should the currently proposed building component have to be remedied, replaced or adapted. |
| Construction Costs | � The civil construction estimate provided by the instructing party (excluding GST and Contingency) of $137,864,337 equates to $4,162 per square metre of GFA, which is considered to be within acceptable market parameters and has been adopted in our valuation. � Construction and development of the project can be undertaken for the amount described above, in accordance with the documents provided by the instructing party. We have adopted the construction and development costs provided as part of our instruction. Should the supplied costs be proven to be inadequate to deliver the project, Savills reserves the right to review this valuation accordingly. � We are not Quantity Surveyors nor are we Consulting Engineers. We have relied upon cost estimates provided and on the basis that the cost provided and adopted are accurate. We recommend the engagement of an independent Quantity Surveyor to confirm same. Should the cost estimate differ to that adopted within, then this report should be referred back to the Valuer for comment and accordingly we reserve the right to amend the assessment within |
| Land Value | � The assessed land value via the Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the status of approvals, civil construction costs, associated development costs, interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the completed units, adopted pre-sales prior to construction, sale rate for completed stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed land value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances. |
| GST | � We have not been provided with independent Accounting or Legal advice regarding the eligibility of using the margin scheme for this development. As this falls outside the scope of our investigations, we have applied the full GST impost in our feasibilities and to our ‘as if complete’ values on a GST exclusive basis. As a result, GST on the development costs will be assessed at 10% to be remitted two months later, while GST on gross realisations will be assessed at 1/11th. All costs within our cash flow model are quoted, where applicable, excluding GST. � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the GST remittance changes from 1 July 2018 i.e., the Federal Government's requirement that purchasers of new residential premises will remit the GST directly to the ATO as part of settlement. |
| CGT | � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the foreign resident capital gains tax withholding scheme changes under the Federal Budget 2017, under which: Australian resident vendors of real property of $750,000 or more must provide a Clearance Certificate issued by the ATO to a purchaser on settlement of the sale, to avoid the purchaser withholding 12.5% of the purchase price and remitting it as withholding tax to the ATO; and Foreign resident vendors will see 12.5% of the purchase price being withheld and remitted to the ATO, unless the ATO approves a Variation. |
| Construction Timeframe | � We have adopted a construction period for the project of 26 months with a 12 month lead time, based on the advice provided by the instructing party. We have assumed this to be an accurate forecast and have adopted this within our Residual Cash Flow analysis. |
| “As If Complete” Assessment |
� The “As If Complete” assessment is the estimated market value of the proposed development as detailed in this report on the assumption that all construction has been satisfactorily completed in all respects at the date of this report. Because of time lag and unknown future market conditions the valuation reflects the valuer’s view of the market conditions existing at the date of valuation and does not purport to predict future market conditions and the value at the actual completion date. |
– 222 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| Construction Quality & Compliance |
� The “As If Complete” assessment is provided on the basis that the proposed improvements will be constructed in a tradesman like manner using new, quality materials and having regard to modern building techniques. Our valuation assumes that: � A detailed report of the structure and service installations of the building once completed would not reveal any defects requiring significant expenditure. � The building will comply with all relevant statutory requirements in respect of matters such as health, building and fire safety regulations, and will be built in accordance with the provisions of the Building Code of Australia. |
|---|---|
| EPBC Act | � That the subject property is not impacted in any way by matters covered by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), including, but not limited to, listed threatened species and ecological communities or migratory species protected under international agreements. |
| Development Approvals (Including Plans & Specifications) |
� We have been provided with a copy of the Development Approval for the subject development including approved plans. We assume that the development will be completed in full accordance with the noted Development Approval and any conditions contained within the approval. Should there be any subsequent changes to the Development Approval or the Approved development plans, this valuation must not be relied upon before first consulting Savills to reassess any effect on the valuation. |
| Contamination | � We have been provided with a Remediation Action Plan prepared by ERM dated August 2020. The report notes the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons, naphthalene, volatile organic compounds and heavy metals as well as underground storage tanks. � We have assumed, as instructed that the costs provided allow for remediation of the site. |
| Encumbrances, Restrictions, Caveats etc. |
� Our valuation is on the basis that the property is free of encumbrances, restrictions, caveats, or other impediments of an onerous nature which could affect value. Our valuation has been undertaken on the basis the property is free of mortgages, charges and other financial liens. |
| Marketing Period | � We have assumed the standard marketing period for a development of this scale with advanced planning status, minor pre-sales and without any pre-commitment for the hotel and retail areas is 3-6 months to allow a prospective purchaser to undertake the required due diligence to inform purchase decisions. � The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 1.5-3 months and assumes full due diligence would not be able to be undertaken which would be reflected in a more conservative value. |
| General | � The rental and sales information has been obtained from a number of sources including RP Data and registered government sales transfers. Whilst we understand the information to be reliable, we are unable to guarantee the accuracy. � Unless otherwise set out in the Proposal, Savills is not aware of any conflict of interest in accepting your instruction to value the Property and the valuer set out in the Proposal is in a position to provide an objective and unbiased valuation. � We confirm that the valuer undertaking this valuation is considered to have the appropriate level of skills and competence to complete the valuation to a professional standard, taking into account the property type. � Following the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian military in late February 2022, there was an immediate impact on the global economy due, in part, to sanctions imposed on Russia, rising oil and gas prices and the restriction of exported goods from Ukraine and Russia. Since the date of the invasion, there has already been an impact on the Australian economy, including rising inflation and increased interest rates, and we anticipate this will in turn affect the property markets. � Whilst the residential property markets continue to perform well, our valuation has been prepared against the backdrop of a very challenging economic outlook. There are concerns as to how the Australian economy will perform going forward given the current inflationary pressure, the cost of living crisis and rising interest rates that are impacting on the cost of debt. Although there is good liquidity in the market, with a significant amount of capital seeking opportunities, the ongoing geo-political headwinds, economic uncertainty and rising cost of debt finance, may impact pricing in some areas of the market such that prices fall from their current levels. We stress the importance of the valuation date and recommend that the value of the property is kept under regular review. For the avoidance of doubt, our valuation is not reported as being subject to ‘material valuation uncertainty’. |
| Serviced Apartment Hotel | � That the proposed apartment hotel will be completed to a standard commensurate with existing industry standards for an upscale (4 to 4.5 star standard) serviced apartment hotel and as outlined within the valuation. � The value of the serviced apartment hotel subject to the proposed lease is reliant on the ability of the Leasehold business owner to maintain sufficient revenue and profit levels in order to meet its rental obligations. Should the business deteriorate and the Lessee struggle to meet rental obligations, the value of the property may be negatively impacted. � That the proposed serviced apartment hotel will be managed by Quest Apartment Hotels (or nominated franchisee) under the proposed terms of the Non-Binding Offer to Lease. Should the terms of the lease vary to those adopted herein and outlined within the Non-Binding Offer to Lease, then we reserve the right to amend the valuation. � That the FF&E and plant and equipment will be owned by the property owner and that an asset register or asset depreciation schedule is available on sale of the property. That the FF&E will be transferred to a purchaser on sale. � The trading forecast including within the valuation have been undertaken solely for the purposes of assessing an appropriate market rent. Furthermore, the projections of Fair Maintainable Trade (FMT) are based on a reasonably efficient operator. |

Re: Valuation Summary Letter Property: 248 Apartments – “The Lennox”, 12-14 Phillip Street & 331a-339 Church Street, Parramatta, NSW, Australia
We refer to instructions issued by Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd dated 6 July 2022 to provide a summary report of the valuation providing the Market Value “In One Line” of 248 Apartments – “The Lennox”, 12-14 Phillip Street & 331a-339 Church Street, Parramatta, NSW, Australia. We have prepared a full and comprehensive Valuation Report for the property in accordance with our instructions from Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd for internal reporting purposes dated 30 June 2022.
This valuation summary letter (“summary letter”) has been prepared for part of a submission to The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Rules governing the listing of securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited) to be issued by China Aoyuan Group Limited as responsible entity for the sale of the property assessed.
Our full valuation report valuation report has been prepared in accordance with the Australian Property Institute’s Current Valuation Standard and Guidance Notes, RICS Valuation - Global Standards 2020 together with the Australian National Supplement effective August 2019 and International Valuation Standards (IVS).
This summary letter should be read in conjunction with the Valuation Report (prepared as at 30 June 2022) as we note this summary letter does not include all essential information and the assumptions which are detailed in our Valuation Report. The Valuation Report provides a detailed description of the property; its current configuration, location, assumptions impacting value and local market characteristics.
An extract from the valuation report comprising the Critical Assumptions is annexed to this summary letter.
We have assessed the valuation on Freehold Title of the property.
Market Value as defined by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and as adopted by the Australian Property Institute (API) is as follows:
“Market Value is 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.”
– 225 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
We have assessed the In One Line market value of the property in accordance with the Market Value definition referred to above. Furthermore, the Sale in One Line Definition is
‘Sale in one line’ is the value of the gross realisation of the individual completed lots sold in a single transaction less a discount that takes into consideration legal and selling costs, profit and risk, holding costs and acquisition costs.
In addition, we have been requested to assess an Estimated Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale.
We confirm that the valuer does not have a pecuniary interest that would conflict with a proper valuation of the interest in the property.
Savills Valuations Pty Ltd (“Savills”) charged a professional fee for producing valuation report.
Material Assumptions
- The assessed “In One Line Value” via Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the units, sale rate for apartment stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances.
Valuation Summary

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| Environmental Comment (contd) | The present use of the subject property as an apartment building is not classified as a “potentially contaminating activity, industry or land use” as defined under the API’s Australia Real Property Guidance Note 1 – Land Contamination Issues (Appendix 2) and is considered a low risk use in regard to potential for site contamination. The subject property is not contained within the EPA’s “List of Issued Certificates and Statements of Environmental Audit” based on our recent online search. We also note that the subject property and surrounding immediate development as at the date of valuation, is not subject to an “Environmental Audit Overlay” under the Burwood City Planning Scheme. A visual site inspection has not revealed any obvious pollution or contamination. Nevertheless, we wish to advise that we are not qualified to provide advice on the physical condition of the land and we are not aware of any geotechnical and/or environmental defects with the land. Further, we have not sighted any environmental audits or geotechnical reports, which suggest site contamination or defects. This valuation has therefore been made on the assumption that there are no actual or potential contamination issues affecting: - � The value or marketing of the property; or � The site. |

Valuation Methodology
We have assessed the valuation on the basis of Freehold Title.
The valuation is determined on the basis that the property, the Title thereto and its use is not affected by any matter other than that mentioned in the full valuation report. Furthermore, it has been assumed that reasonable resources are available in negotiating the sale and exposing the property to the market.
Given the nature of the subject property, we have primarily relied upon the Direct Comparison Approach to assess the value of the individual apartments and the Hypothetical Development Approach to assess the In One line Value.
This approach utilises our assessment of the estimated ‘total gross realisation’ value from which we have deducted selling costs and other costs including holding costs, finance costs and interest, and our adopted development (profit and risk) margin, to arrive at an estimate of the In One Line Value.

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
Critical Assumptions
| Market Movement | � This valuation is current as at the date of valuation and may change as a result of either external or specific factors affecting the property. We do not accept liability for losses arising from such subsequent changes in value. We will not accept liability where this valuation is relied upon after the expiration of three months from the date of valuation, or earlier if there are significant alterations to conditions affecting the value of the property. |
|---|---|
| Physical | � The valuer does not hold itself out to be an expert in building materials and has been unable to identify from a visual inspection whether the ‘cladding’ was constructed using compliant or non-compliant building products (i.e., combustible polyethylene core aluminium composite panels). � This valuation report has been prepared: (a) on the assumption that the building materials used, as well as the application and installation of those materials, comply with all approvals, regulatory requirements and codes. (b) without consideration to any diminution in value that may arise due to the identification of non- compliant building products within the property development. Should this not be the case, we reserve the right to review our valuation. The valuer strongly advises the reader to investigate the nature of the building components and satisfy itself as to the potential risks and costs which could be incurred should the existing building components have to be remedied, replaced or adapted. |
| In One Line Value | � The assessed “In One Line Value” via Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the units, sale rate for apartment stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances. |
| GST | � That any reliant party has taken all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the GST remittance changes from 1 July 2018 i.e., the Federal Government's requirement that purchasers of new residential premises will remit the GST directly to the ATO as part of settlement. � We have not been provided with independent Accounting or Legal advice regarding the eligibility of using the margin scheme for this development. As this falls outside the scope of our investigations, we have applied the full GST impost in our feasibilities and to our ‘as if complete’ values on a GST exclusive basis. |
| CGT | � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the foreign resident capital gains tax withholding scheme changes under the Federal Budget 2017, under which: Australian resident vendors of real property of $750,000 or more must provide a Clearance Certificate issued by the ATO to a purchaser on settlement of the sale, to avoid the purchaser withholding 12.5% of the purchase price and remitting it as withholding tax to the ATO; and Foreign resident vendors will see 12.5% of the purchase price being withheld and remitted to the ATO, unless the ATO approves a Variation. |
| Gross Realisation | � The Gross Realisation assessment reflects an orderly sale of the apartments over time and is not reflective of an “In One Line Value” which has been separately assessed and illustrates a discount to the Gross Realisation assessed. |
| EPBC Act | � That the subject property is not impacted in any way by matters covered by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), including, but not limited to, listed threatened species and ecological communities or migratory species protected under international agreements. |
| Occupation Certificate | � A Final Occupation Certificate (No.9695-02-2020-FOC) was certified on 3 July 2020 by AE&D Pty Ltd for a (DA0180/14) mixed use development containing 3 buildings, 147 units, retail space, basement parking and landscaping work and modification MOD0006/19. � We assume there are not outstanding works/defects that will affect the marketing of the apartments. |
| Body Corporate | � We have not undertaken a search of the body corporate records and we assume that there is no current payment liability on the body corporate in relation to capital expenditure programs. � We also assume that there are no indications from the minutes of meetings held that there are any areas of structural (or other) concern that may give rise to a special levy to be borne by the owners. We recommend any reliant party verify the position of the Body Corporate and any areas of concern prior to advancing funds. |
| Inspection | � We note that we were not provided access to all individual units, however we did inspect each unit type. For the purpose of this valuation, we have assumed that these unseen units are of an identical nature in terms of finishes to the inspected apartments. |
| Contamination | � We assume that the subject property is free from elevated levels of contaminants. |
– 238 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| Encumbrances, Restrictions, Caveats etc. |
� Our valuation is on the basis that the property is free of encumbrances, restrictions, caveats, or other impediments of an onerous nature which could affect value. Our valuation has been undertaken on the basis the property is free of mortgages, charges and other financial liens. |
|---|---|
| Marketing Period | � We have assumed a standard marketing period for the subject apartments in a sell down scenario is likely to be 50 months or 5 apartments per month. � The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 42 months or 6 apartments per month and assumes a more conservative value/price to attract buyers within a shorter sale period as well as additional funds allocated to marketing. |
| General | � The sales information has been obtained from a number of sources including RP Data and registered government sales transfers. Whilst we understand the information to be reliable, we are unable to guarantee the accuracy. � Unless otherwise set out in the Proposal, Savills is not aware of any conflict of interest in accepting your instruction to value the Property and the valuer set out in the Proposal is in a position to provide an objective and unbiased valuation. � We confirm that the valuer undertaking this valuation is considered to have the appropriate level of skills and competence to complete the valuation to a professional standard, taking into account the property type. � We recommend that the reliant party undertake a search of the titles as Savills has only searched a sample lot to ensure there are no notations on title that may impact value. � That all apartments have unencumbered title and that any outstanding development contributions have been paid with nothing inhibiting the potential realisable sale of each unit individually or in aggregate. � Following the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian military in late February 2022, there was an immediate impact on the global economy due, in part, to sanctions imposed on Russia, rising oil and gas prices and the restriction of exported goods from Ukraine and Russia. Since the date of the invasion, there has already been an impact on the Australian economy, including rising inflation and increased interest rates, and we anticipate this will in turn affect the property markets. Whilst the residential property markets continue to perform well, our valuation has been prepared against the backdrop of a very challenging economic outlook. There are concerns as to how the Australian economy will perform going forward given the current inflationary pressure, the cost of living crisis and rising interest rates that are impacting on the cost of debt. Although there is good liquidity in the market, with a significant amount of capital seeking opportunities, the ongoing geo-political headwinds, economic uncertainty and rising cost of debt finance, may impact pricing in some areas of the market such that prices fall from their current levels. We stress the importance of the valuation date and recommend that the value of the property is kept under regular review. For the avoidance of doubt, our valuation is not reported as being subject to ‘material valuation uncertainty’. |
Should any of the assumptions in our full valuation report be incorrect or inaccurate, then we reserve the right to amend the valuation, the report and this summary report.

Re: Valuation Summary Letter Property: Stage 4 - “Woolooware Town Centre”, 461 Captain Cook Drive, Woolooware NSW, Australia
We refer to instructions issued by Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd dated 6 July 2022 to provide a summary report of the valuation providing the Market Value including the Value of Works to Date of Stage 4 - “Woolooware Town Centre”, 461 Captain Cook Drive, Woolooware NSW, Australia. We have prepared a full and comprehensive Valuation Report for the property in accordance with our instructions from Aoyuan Property Group (International) Pty Ltd for internal reporting purposes dated 30 June 2022.
This valuation summary letter (“summary letter”) has been prepared for part of a submission to The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Rules governing the listing of securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited) to be issued by China Aoyuan Group Limited as responsible entity for the sale of the property assessed.
Our full valuation report valuation report has been prepared in accordance with the Australian Property Institute’s Current Valuation Standard and Guidance Notes, RICS Valuation - Global Standards 2020 together with the Australian National Supplement effective August 2019 and International Valuation Standards (IVS).
This summary letter should be read in conjunction with the Valuation Report (prepared as at 30 June 2022) as we note this summary letter does not include all essential information and the assumptions which are detailed in our Valuation Report. The Valuation Report provides a detailed description of the property; its current configuration, location, assumptions impacting value and local market characteristics.
An extract from the valuation report comprising the Critical Assumptions is annexed to this summary letter.
We have assessed the valuation based on the Freehold Title of the property.
Market Value as defined by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and as adopted by the Australian Property Institute (API) is as follows:
“Market Value is 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.”
– 240 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
In addition, we have been requested to assess an Estimated Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale.
We confirm that the valuer does not have a pecuniary interest that would conflict with a proper valuation of the interest in the property.
Savills Valuations Pty Ltd (“Savills”) charges a professional fee for producing valuation reports, and a fee has been paid for the Valuation Report and this Summary Letter.
Material Assumptions
- The assessed land value via the Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the status of approvals, civil construction costs, associated development costs, interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the completed units, adopted pre-sales prior to construction, sale rate for completed stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed land value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances.

| Environmental Comment | The subject property is not contained within the EPA’s “List of Issued Certificates and Statements of Environmental Audit” based on our recent online search. We also note that the subject property and surrounding immediate development as at the date of valuation, is not subject to an “Environmental Audit Overlay” under the Sutherland Planning Scheme. The present and past use of the subject property for landfill uses is classified as a “potentially contaminating activity, industry or land use” as defined under the API’s Australia Real Property Guidance Note 1 – Land Contamination Issues (Appendix 2) and is considered a high risk use in regard to potential for site contamination We have been informed the site was found to contain high levels of asbestos, methane gas, and contaminated fill in the soil prior to construction commencement, as the site was formerly used as a landfill by Sutherland Council. The site is its original state was found to be unsuitable for the proposed redevelopment. The method to remediate the site was the Cap and Contain method whereby a high visibility non-woven geotextile layer was placed over the surface to cover all contaminated material and extending 3 metres beyond the property perimeter. Above this an impervious additional layer was installed. Given these works a Long-term Environmental Plan will be required to be prepared and continually monitored. We have assumed, as instructed that the costs provided have allowed for the appropriate remediation of the site. |

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
Valuation Methodology
We have assessed the valuation on the basis of Freehold Title.
The valuation is determined on the basis that the property, the Title thereto and its use is not affected by any matter other than that mentioned in the full valuation report. Furthermore, it has been assumed that reasonable resources are available in negotiating the sale and exposing the property to the market.
Given the nature of the subject property, we have relied upon the Direct Comparison Approach to assess the value of the individual apartments and commercial suites and the Capitalisation and Discounted Cash Flow methods to ascertain the value of the retail and hotel components As if Complete.
The Direct Comparison Approach and Hypothetical Development Approach have been utilised to assess the current Market Value of the site including the Value of Works to Date.
The Hypothetical Development Approach utilises our assessment of the estimated ‘total gross realisation’ value from which we have deducted selling costs and other costs including holding costs, finance costs and interest, and our adopted development (profit and risk) margin, to arrive at an estimate of the Residual Land Value including the Value of Works to Date.
To ascertain the value of the individual apartments we have relied upon the below comparable sales:

Having regard to the available sales evidence and critical issues listed within our full valuation report and on the basis of the subject property’s investment attributes, we have chosen to adopt a capitalisation rate of 5.50% within our capitalisation approach to value whilst within our discounted cash flow approach to value we have chosen to apply a discount rate (i.e., 10 Year Target IRR) of 6.50% and a terminal yield of 5.75% , which reflects a 0.25% premium above our adopted capitalisation rate.

APPENDIX II
Our Hypothetical Development Assessment is detailed below:
| Input | Amount / Comments |
| Gross Realisation | Residential - $267,823,864 including GST Retail - $185,000,000 excluding GST Hotel - $21,000,000 excluding GST Office - $8,762,498 excluding GST |
| Rate of Sale | Having regard to the existing presales we have assumed that the remaining unsold apartments (which are predominately Affordable Housing) will be sold ‘off the plan’ during the construction period and within 12 months post construction. We have assumed the hotel and retail components will transact on practical completion and we have assumed the commercial suites will transact within 3 months of completion of construction given the pre-sale position. |
| Selling Costs Marketing Costs Legal Costs |
Residential – 2.2% Retail – 1.5% Hotel – 1.5%$ Office – 1.5% Residential – $3,000 per unsold apartment Retail – $100,000 Hotel – $100,000 Office -$2,000 per suite Residential – $1,000 per apartment Retail – $75,000 Hotel – $75,000 Office - $1,200 per suite |
| Site Acquisition Costs Legal Fees on Acquisition |
7.21% of purchase price $250,000 |
| Cost to Complete | $141,846,320 excluding GST |
| Interest Rate Application Fee |
5.25% per annum (on the basis of 100% debt funding and including line fees) $1,100,000 |
| Construction Period | 19 months to completion |
| Holding Costs | Approximately $960,000 per annum (including Council rates and Land Tax) |
| Developers Margin | Profit and Risk expectations for a project of this nature would normally vary from 20% to 30%. In adopting an appropriate Profit and Risk factor for the subject project, we have had regard to the following factors: � On the basis that a major proportion of the total list value has been pre-committed. � Construction has commenced and is approximately 43.8% complete. � The Contract sum has been verified by a QS. � The cost and revenue parameters of the project are largely known. � The size and related capital value of the development. � Buyer pool for partially completed projects and buyer concerns in regard to building warranties. � Analysis of comparable developments. � The Sutherland location. Having regard to the above, we have adopted a Profit and Risk Factor of 25.0%, being the approximate mid-point of the adopted range. |
| GST Liability | We have adopted the General Tax Rule Scheme for valuation purposes. Our calculations on this basis are as follows: Residential Realisation Including GST $267,823,864 Less GST $24,347,624 Gross Realisation Excluding GST $243,476,240 Plus: Hotel $21,000,000 Plus: Retail $185,000,000 Plus: Commercial $8,762,498 Gross Realisation Excluding GST $458,238,738 Note: The GST liability has been utilised for the purpose of the residual cash flow analysis and is an indicative figure only. |

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
Feasibility Conclusions
Our calculations result in a residual value of $158,450,000 excluding GST including the value of works to date. Our feasibility analysis reflects an Internal Rate of Return of 21.17% including interest, and a net development profit of approximately $91,653,703 all of which appear to be reasonable for a development of this nature
We have assumed the standard marketing period for a development of this scale with a mixed use profile incorporating retail, hotel and residential with limited pre-commitments, however advanced planning is 3- 6 months to allow a prospective purchaser to undertake the required due diligence to inform purchase decisions.
The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 1.5-3 months and assumes full due diligence would not be able to be undertaken which would be reflected in a more conservative value. This is particularly important for an asset such as the subject where construction is commenced as substantial time and due diligence would be required to confirm building contracts and warranties, pre-sale contracts and pre-commitments to the retail and hotel areas.
Practically, this scenario therefore assumes that a prospective buyer would look to increase the risk allowances to cover less than full diligence.
For the purposes of an assessment based on these adopted assumptions we have increased the Profit and Risk allowance in our residual land value analysis by 4 basis points to 29% which indicates a residual land value of $148,500,000 which has been adopted under this valuation scenario.
Whilst our analysis could alter other inputs in the feasibility such as apartment price and Hotel and Retail component values, and sale rate and cost, realistically the sale rate of the apartments/components, the value of the completed apartments/components and the cost of producing the development does not change. The risk essentially lies with the acquisition of a project with a long development life without exploring all aspects of the project to ascertain an educated and informed acquisition.
Feasibility Conclusions
Our calculations result in a residual value of $148,500,000 excluding GST including the value of works to date for practical valuation purposes. Our feasibility analysis reflects an Internal Rate of Return of 24.37% including interest, and a net development profit of approximately $103,106,383 all of which appear to be reasonable for a development of this nature.

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
Critical Assumptions
| Market Movement | � This valuation is current as at the date of valuation and may change as a result of either external or specific factors affecting the property. We do not accept liability for losses arising from such subsequent changes in value. We will not accept liability where this valuation is relied upon after the expiration of three months from the date of valuation, or earlier if there are significant alterations to conditions affecting the value of the property. |
|---|---|
| Physical | � The valuer does not hold itself out to be an expert in building materials and has been unable to identify from a visual inspection of the proposed plans whether the ‘cladding’ to be constructed will use compliant or non- compliant building products (i.e., combustible polyethylene core aluminium composite panels). A Certificate of Compliance and/or Certification of building materials for the development has not been sighted nor confirmed by the valuer. This valuation report has been prepared: (a) on the assumption that the building materials used, as well as the application and installation of those materials, comply with all approvals, regulatory requirements and codes. (b) without consideration to any diminution in value that may arise due to the identification of non- compliant building products within the development. Should this not be the case, we reserve the right to review our valuation. The valuer strongly advises the reader to investigate the nature of the currently proposed building components and satisfy itself as to the potential risks and costs which could be incurred should the currently proposed building component have to be remedied, replaced or adapted. |
| Construction Costs | � The cost to complete the development provided by Coutts Consulting (Progress Payment 13) as of June 2022 and refined by Aoyuan (excluding GST and Contingency) is $141,846,320 which has been adopted for the purpose of this assessment. � We note additional costs to complete have been provided by the instructing party and these include: � Outstanding Council Contributions - $875,706 � Outstanding Infrastructure Works - $1,248,544 � Construction and development of the project can be completed for the amount described above, in accordance with the documents provided by Coutts Consulting and the spreadsheet provided by Aoyuan. We have adopted the cost to complete as part of our instruction. Should the supplied costs be proven to be inadequate to deliver the project, Savills reserves the right to review this valuation accordingly. � We are not Quantity Surveyors nor are we Consulting Engineers. We have relied upon cost estimates provided and on the basis that the cost provided and adopted are accurate. We recommend the engagement of an independent Quantity Surveyor to confirm same. Should the cost estimate differ to that adopted within, then this report should be referred back to the Valuer for comment and accordingly we reserve the right to amend the assessment within |
| Land Value | � The assessed land value via the Residual Cash Flow analysis reflects a number of factors, including the status of approvals, civil construction costs, associated development costs, interest (borrowing) rate, assessed value of the completed units, adopted pre-sales prior to construction, sale rate for completed stock, and acceptable performance margins. The assessed land value by this approach could be impacted by a change in any of the above circumstances. |
| GST | � We have not been provided with independent Accounting or Legal advice regarding the eligibility of using the margin scheme for this development. As this falls outside the scope of our investigations, we have applied the full GST impost in our feasibilities and to our ‘as if complete’ values on a GST exclusive basis. As a result, GST on the development costs will be assessed at 10% to be remitted two months later, while GST on gross realisations will be assessed at 1/11th. All costs within our cash flow model are quoted, where applicable, excluding GST. � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the GST remittance changes from 1 July 2018 i.e., the Federal Government's requirement that purchasers of new residential premises will remit the GST directly to the ATO as part of settlement. |
| CGT | � That all appropriate measures to mitigate the risks associated with the foreign resident capital gains tax withholding scheme changes under the Federal Budget 2017, under which: Australian resident vendors of real property of $750,000 or more must provide a Clearance Certificate issued by the ATO to a purchaser on settlement of the sale, to avoid the purchaser withholding 12.5% of the purchase price and remitting it as withholding tax to the ATO; and Foreign resident vendors will see 12.5% of the purchase price being withheld and remitted to the ATO, unless the ATO approves a Variation. |
– 258 –
VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
| Construction Timeframe | � We have adopted a construction period to complete the project of 19 months, based on the advice provided in Coutts Progress Report No. 13. We have assumed this to be an accurate forecast and have adopted this within our Residual Cash Flow analysis. |
|---|---|
| “As If Complete” Assessment |
� The “As If Complete” assessment is the estimated market value of the proposed development as detailed in this report on the assumption that all construction has been satisfactorily completed in all respects at the date of this report. Because of time lag and unknown future market conditions the valuation reflects the valuer’s view of the market conditions existing at the date of valuation and does not purport to predict future market conditions and the value at the actual completion date. |
| Construction Quality & Compliance |
� The “As If Complete” assessment is provided on the basis that the proposed improvements will be constructed in a tradesman like manner using new, quality materials and having regard to modern building techniques. Our valuation assumes that: � A detailed report of the structure and service installations of the building once completed would not reveal any defects requiring significant expenditure. � The building will comply with all relevant statutory requirements in respect of matters such as health, building and fire safety regulations, and will be built in accordance with the provisions of the Building Code of Australia. |
| EPBC Act | � That the subject property is not impacted in any way by matters covered by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), including, but not limited to, listed threatened species and ecological communities or migratory species protected under international agreements. |
| Development Approvals (Including Plans & Specifications) |
� We have been provided with a copy of the Development Approval for the subject development including approved plans. We assume that the development will be completed in full accordance with the noted Development Approval and any conditions contained within the approval. Should there be any subsequent changes to the Development Approval or the Approved development plans, this valuation must not be relied upon before first consulting Savills to reassess any effect on the valuation. |
| Contamination | � The site was found to contain high levels of asbestos, methane gas, and contaminated fill in the soil prior to construction commencement, as the site was formerly used as a landfill by Sutherland Council. The site is its original state was found to be unsuitable for the proposed redevelopment. � The method to remediate the site was the Cap and Contain method whereby a high visibility non-woven geotextile layer was placed over the surface to cover all contaminated material and extending 3 metres beyond the property perimeter. Above this an impervious additional layer was installed. � Given these works a Long-term Environmental Plan will be required to be prepared and continually monitored. � We have assumed, as instructed that the costs provided have allowed for the appropriate remediation of the site. |
| Encumbrances, Restrictions, Caveats etc. |
� Our valuation is on the basis that the property is free of encumbrances, restrictions, caveats, or other impediments of an onerous nature which could affect value. Our valuation has been undertaken on the basis the property is free of mortgages, charges and other financial liens. |
| Marketing Period | � We have assumed the standard marketing period for a development of this scale with advanced pre-sale status and construction commenced is 3-6 months to allow a prospective purchaser to undertake the required due diligence to inform purchase decisions. � The Realisable Price Reflective of a Market Constraint being a short period considered less than a standard marketing period in which to achieve a sale assumes a shorter sale period of 1.5-3 months and assumes full due diligence would not be able to be undertaken which would be reflected in a more conservative value. |
| General | � The rental and sales information has been obtained from a number of sources including RP Data and registered government sales transfers. Whilst we understand the information to be reliable, we are unable to guarantee the accuracy. � Unless otherwise set out in the Proposal, Savills is not aware of any conflict of interest in accepting your instruction to value the Property and the valuer set out in the Proposal is in a position to provide an objective and unbiased valuation. � We confirm that the valuer undertaking this valuation is considered to have the appropriate level of skills and competence to complete the valuation to a professional standard, taking into account the property type. � Following the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian military in late February 2022, there was an immediate impact on the global economy due, in part, to sanctions imposed on Russia, rising oil and gas prices and the restriction of exported goods from Ukraine and Russia. Since the date of the invasion, there has already been an impact on the Australian economy, including rising inflation and increased interest rates, and we anticipate this will in turn affect the property markets. |

VALUATION REPORTS
APPENDIX II
==> picture [91 x 88] intentionally omitted <==
-
Whilst the residential property markets continue to perform well, our valuation has been prepared against the backdrop of a very challenging economic outlook. There are concerns as to how the Australian economy will perform going forward given the current inflationary pressure, the cost of living crisis and rising interest rates that are impacting on the cost of debt. Although there is good liquidity in the market, with a significant amount of capital seeking opportunities, the ongoing geo-political headwinds, economic uncertainty and rising cost of debt finance, may impact pricing in some areas of the market such that prices fall from their current levels.
-
We stress the importance of the valuation date and recommend that the value of the property is kept under regular review. For the avoidance of doubt, our valuation is not reported as being subject to ‘material valuation uncertainty’.
Should any of the assumptions in our full valuation report be incorrect or inaccurate, then we reserve the right to amend the valuation, the report and this summary report.
