(iii) CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTION

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 24 April 2012 in which the Board announced that on 24 April 2012 (after trading hours), the Company, the Vendors, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser and the Guarantor pursuant to which the Vendors agreed to sell and the Purchaser agreed to acquire (i) the Sale Shares, which represent the entire issued share capital of each of the Sale Companies; and (ii) the Machineries and Inventories of the PRC Companies, for an aggregate consideration of HK$25,000,000 (subject to adjustments).

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Upon Completion of the Disposal, it is contemplated that the release and discharge of such Corporate Guarantees will take certain time to be effective and it is agreed in the Sale and Purchase Agreement that the Vendors will procure the Group to release and discharge of such Corporate Guarantees within six months from the date of Completion.

As the relevant percentage ratios exceed 5% but are all less than 25%, the Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction on the part of the Company under the Listing Rules. Since the Purchaser is a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, the Disposal and the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement constitute a connected transaction on the part of the Company and the continuing Corporate Guarantees after Completion constitute a continuing connected transaction on the part of the Company.

The purpose of this circular is to provide details of the Disposal and the Corporate Guarantees and a notice of EGM and to seek approval from the Shareholders for the Disposal and the continuing Corporate Guarantees.

SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Date: 24 April 2012 (after trading hours) Parties: (1) Vendor A: Wah Yuen Foods International Limited (2) Vendor B: Wah Yuen Investment Limited (3) Purchaser: Auto Success Limited (4) Guarantor: But Ka Wai (5) Vendors Guarantor: the Company

The Guarantor is a merchant. The Purchaser is a company incorporated in Hong Kong and is principally engaged in investment holdings. The Purchaser is beneficially owned as to 45% by the Guarantor and the remaining 55% is beneficially owned by his family members.

Since the Guarantor was a former director of certain subsidiaries of the Company/the Sale Companies in the past twelve months and the Purchaser is wholly and beneficially owned by the Guarantor and/or his family members, the Guarantor and the Purchaser are Connected Persons of the Company.

Assets to be disposed

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Vendors have agreed to dispose of and the Purchaser has agreed to acquire (i) the Sale Shares, which represent the entire issued share capital of each of the Sale Companies; and (ii) the Machineries and Inventories of the PRC Companies.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Consideration

The aggregate consideration for the Disposal is HK$25,000,000 (subject to adjustments as disclosed below), of which shall be satisfied by the Purchaser as follows:

  • (i) HK$5,000,000 has been paid by the Purchaser to the Vendors in settlement of an amount due to the Guarantor by the Company; and

  • (ii) the remaining balance (subject to adjustments as disclosed below) shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Vendors by issuing the promissory notes of the adjusted balance of consideration to the Vendors.

The consideration shall be subject to the following adjustments:

  • (i) if the aggregate amount of the account payables, rental payables and payments made on behalf by the Sales Companies (collectively ‘‘the Payables’’) is more than the aggregate amount of account receivables, bank balances and cash of the Sale Companies as at the date of Completion, the total consideration shall be adjusted downward as follows:

Adjustment to consideration = total consideration – the shortfall between the aggregate amount of the account receivables, bank balances and cash of the Sale Companies, and the Payables

  • (ii) if the Payables is less than the aggregate amount of account receivables, bank balances and cash of the Sale Companies as at the date of Completion, the total consideration shall be adjusted upward as follows:

Adjustment to consideration = total consideration + the shortfall between the amount of the account receivables, bank balances and cash of the Sale Companies, and the Payables

The consideration for the Disposal was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the parties to the Sale and Purchase Agreement after taking into consideration of various factors, in particular, the current financial position of the Sale Companies, the estimated market value of the properties in Fo Tan, internally generated intangible assets of brand name of Wah Yuen and distribution channel of the food business and the estimated net realisable values of the Machineries and Inventories. According to the unaudited financial statements of the Sale Companies, the Sale Companies recorded a net loss of approximately HK$9,646,000 for the year ended 31 December 2011 and the net liabilities of the Sale Companies (after waiver and exclusion of bank loans) amounted to approximately HK$1,380,000 as at 31 December 2011.

In light of the consideration amount and the management accounts of the Sale Companies, the Directors contemplate that the adjustment to the consideration will not alter the classification of the transaction type of the Disposal under the Listing Rules. In the

INFORMATION ON THE SALE COMPANIES, MACHINERIES AND INVENTORIES

The Sale Companies are companies incorporated in Hong Kong or Cook Islands which are principally engaged in the distribution of snack foods.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Sale Companies are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Set out below if the financial information of the Sales Companies as prepared under the general accepted accounting principles in Hong Kong:

For the For the
year ended year ended
31 December 31 December

The Machineries and Inventories are related to the production of snack foods and are mainly related to the business of the Sale Companies. As at the date of 31 December 2011, the Machineries and Inventories have a book value of approximately HK$13,100,000. The carrying value of the Machineries and Inventories are approximately HK$10,645,000 and HK$2,455,000 respectively. The valuation report on the Machineries has been disclosed in Appendix III to this circular.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the assets and liabilities disposed of under the Disposal, which included the carrying amounts of Machineries and Inventories, the face value of assets and liabilities of the Sale Companies and the adjusted consideration to be received (before disposal related cost) from the Disposal, the Company estimates that as a whole there will be a gain of approximately HK$400,000 arising from the Disposal to the Group.

It is estimated that after Completion, there will be a decrease in the total assets of the Group and a decrease in the total liabilities of the Group. It is contemplated that the Disposal will not have any significant impact on the earnings of the Group.

CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTION: CORPORATE GUARANTEES

As at the Latest Practicable Date, certain Remaining Group members have given Corporate Guarantees in favour of the Sale Companies in respect of the bank loans of the Sale Companies. While the settlement of the outstanding bank loans of the Sale Companies is one of the conditions precedent to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, it is contemplated that the release and the discharge of such Corporate Guarantees will take some time to be effective and it is agreed in the Sale and Purchase Agreement that the Vendors will procure the Group to release and discharge of such Corporate Guarantees within six months from the date of Completion. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the bank facilities guaranteed by the Corporate Guarantees amounted to approximately HK$31,500,000.

As the Purchaser is a Connected Person and will beneficially own the Sale Companies upon Completion, the continuing Corporate Guarantees will constitute a continuing connected transaction on the part of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and will be subject to the announcement, reporting and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.

REASONS FOR THE DISPOSAL AND THE CORPORATE GUARANTEES

The Group is principally engaged in property development and investment businesses in the PRC, and production and distribution of snack food, convenient frozen food and other food products.

After having taken into account of the poor performance made by the Sale Companies in prior years, the Directors consider it is in the interests of the Group to dispose the entire issued share capital of the Sale Companies pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The Directors believe that with reference to the financial situation of the Sale Companies, it may not contribute positively to the Group’s profitability in foreseeable future. In addition, after the Disposal, the management can focus on property development and investment businesses of the Group.

The Machineries and the Inventories are mainly in connection with the production of snack food products for sale by the Sale Companies and the Directors consider that the Machineries and the Inventories will not have any synergy effect with the property development and investment businesses of the Group. The disposal of the Machineries and the Inventories represents an opportunity of the Company for realisation.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Taking into consideration of the aforesaid, the Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, consider that the terms and conditions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

After deducting expenses relating to the Disposal, it is estimated that there will be net proceeds of approximately HK$14,171,000 from the Disposal. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Disposal towards its general working capital.

In respect of the continuing Corporate Guarantees, the Company is of the view that the Corporate Guarantees will continue after Completion because of the fact that the relevant banks will not immediately release or discharge the Corporate Guarantees although the Sale Companies will have fully settled the outstanding bank loans in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Given that the Purchaser has warranted that it will procure the Sale Companies not to reinitiate the bank facilities after settlement of the outstanding bank loans, the Directors consider that it is a matter of formality for the discharge and release the Corporate Guarantees and consider that the continuance of the Corporate Guarantees for a reasonable short period of time after Completion are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION

Since the Purchaser is a Connected Person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, the Disposal constitutes a connected transaction on the part of the Company under the Listing Rules. As the relevant percentage ratios exceed 5% but all less than 25%, the Disposal also constitutes a discloseable transaction on the part of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. The Disposal and the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder shall be subject to the requirements of reporting, announcement and the Independent Shareholders’ approval at the EGM by way of poll.

Since the guaranteed sum of the bank facilities under the Corporate Guarantees exceed HK$10,000,000 and the relevant percentage ratios exceed 1%, the continuing Corporate Guarantees shall be subject to the requirements of reporting, announcement and the Independent Shareholders’ approval at the EGM by way of poll.

The IBC comprising all the independent non-executive Directors have been established by the Company to advise the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including the Corporate Guarantees). Messis Capital Limited has been appointed as the IFA to advise the IBC and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

The Board has considered and approved the resolutions in respect of the Disposal. The Board is of the opinion that the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder is entered into (i) on normal commercial terms (i.e. on an arm’s length basis or on terms no less favourable than those available from independent third parties) and (ii) on terms that are fair and reasonable and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

from approximately HK$506.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2010.

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

Reasons for the Disposal

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Sale Companies has loss making of approximately HK$9.6 million and HK$7.9 million for the two years ended 31 December 2011. After having taken into account of the poor performance made by the Sale Companies in prior years, the Directors consider it is in the interests of the Group to dispose the entire issued share capital of the Sale Companies pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The Directors believe that with reference to the financial situation of the Sale Companies, it may not contribute positively to the Group’s profitability in foreseeable future. In addition, after the Disposal, the management can focus on property development and investment businesses of the Group.

The Machineries and Inventories are mainly in connection with the production of snack food products for sale by the Sale Companies and the Directors consider that the Machineries and Inventories will not have any synergy effect with the property development and investment businesses of the Group. The disposal of the Machineries and Inventories represents an opportunity of the Company for realisation. After deducting expenses relating to the Disposal, it is estimated that there will be net proceeds of approximately HK$14,171,000 from the Disposal. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Disposal towards its general working capital.

According to the Company’s 2011 Annual Report, the Group’s Wah Yuen Foods business segment recorded a segmental loss of approximately HK$11.1 million and HK$9.7 million for the two year ended 31 December 2011. We also note from the Company’s 2011 Annual Report that the Group will continue to take cautions approach to the unfavourable results of its food business segment and may take actively consider the advantages of restructuring shortly. The Disposal will make the Group focusing on its property development and investment businesses, which is in line with the Group’s strategy to restructure its food business.

Taking into account that (i) the Sale Companies may not contribute positively to the Group in view of their current financial and operating performance; (ii) the Sale Companies has loss making of approximately HK$9.6 million and HK$7.9 million for the two years ended 31 December 2011; (iii) the disposal of the Machineries and Inventories represents an opportunity of the Company for realisation; (iv) the Disposal is in line with the Group’s strategy to restructure its food business and to enable the management to focus on property development and investment businesses; and (v) there will be a gain from the Disposal which is estimated to be approximately HK$400,000, we consider that the reasons for the Disposal is justifiable and is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

Financial Reorganisation

As at the date of entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, there are certain intra-group loans between the Sale Companies and the Remaining Group. Pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, there will be a financial reorganisation, pursuant to which the intra-group loans between each of the Sale Companies and the Remaining Group shall be set off against each other.

Basis for the consideration

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the consideration for the Disposal was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the parties to the Sale and Purchase Agreement after taking into consideration of various factors, in particular, the current financial position of the Sale Companies, the estimated market value of the properties in Fo Tan, internally generated intangible assets of brand name of Wah Yuen and distribution channel of the food business and the estimated net realisable values of the Machineries and Inventories. The Directors consider that the terms and conditions of the Disposal to be fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

We have enquired into the management of the Company regarding the basis for determining the consideration of the Disposal and were advised that the consideration of the Disposal was determined based on the assets and liabilities disposed of under the Disposal, which included the carrying amounts of Machineries and Inventories, the face value of assets and liabilities of the Sale Companies and the adjusted consideration to be received (before disposal related cost) from the Disposal. With reference to the unaudited financial statements of the Sale Companies, the net liabilities of the Sale Companies (after wavier and exclusion of the bank loans) amounted to approximately HK$1,380,000 as at 31 December 2011. We also note from the Company’s 2011 Annual Report that the Group’s Wah Yuen Foods business segment recorded a segmental loss of approximately HK$11.1 million and HK$9.7 million for the two year ended 31 December 2011.

As discussed with the management of the Company, we are given to understand that the Sale Companies are principally engaged in the manufacturing, distribution and marketing of snack food products and convenience frozen food products under the brand of ‘‘Wah Yuen’’ with over brand building in Hong Kong over 50 years. With reference to the above section ‘‘Information of Sale Companies, Machineries and Inventories’’, the Machineries and Inventories have a book value of approximately HK$13.1 million as at 31 December 2011. The carrying value of the Machineries and Inventories are approximately HK$10,645,000 and HK$2,454,000 respectively. The Machineries and Inventories are mainly in connection with the production of snack food products for sale by the Sale Companies. We are advised by the management of the Company that the Inventories mainly consist of packaging materials, finished

– 24 –

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

snack foods and raw materials. The Company is of the view that it may be difficult for the Group to identify independent third party buyers for the disposal of the Inventories. Accordingly, the consideration for disposal of the Inventories has been determined based on the estimation of net realisable value of the Inventories by the Directors.

The Group engaged RHL Appraisal Limited, as an independent professional Valuer (the ‘‘Properties Valuer’’) to assess the market value of the properties in Fo Tan and Mei Foo Sun Chuen held by the Sale Companies (the ‘‘Properties Valuation’’). According to the valuation report as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, the properties in Fo Tan and Mei Foo Sun Chuen have an aggregate market value of approximately HK$18,430,000.

In order to assess the Valuation, we have reviewed the relevant valuation report and discussed with the Properties Valuer on the methodology adopted and assumptions made in arriving at the Valuation. We noted that the Properties Valuer has applied the direct comparison approach in the determination of the Properties Valuation. The market value of each of the property is the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. We also noted that the Properties Valuation is prepared in accordance with all the requirement contained in Chapter 5 to the Listing Rules and the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors effective from 1 January 2005. Having discussed with the Valuer, we understand that:

  • . the rationale of adopting the direct comparison method as the valuation methodology is that the direct comparison approach is the most common method in the determination of the value of the properties; and

  • . the basis and assumptions include the market value means the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

Based on our discussion with the Properties Valuer and the review of the valuation report, we consider that the methodology applied is consistent with market practice and we have not identified any major factors which cause us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the methodology adopted and the basis used in arriving at the Properties Valuation in particular the direct comparison approach is the most common method adopted in the determination of the value of the properties in Fo Tan and Mei Foo Sun Chuen. Taking into account the facts above, we are of the opinion that the Properties Valuation provides a valid benchmark for the Directors to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the consideration of the Disposal.

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

The Company recorded a carrying value of approximately HK$10,645,000 for the Machineries. Peak Vision Appraisals Limited is appointed by the Group as an independent professional Valuer (the ‘‘Machineries Valuer’’) to access the market value of the Machineries (the ‘‘Machineries Valuation’’). According to the valuation report as set out in Appendix III of the Circular, the Machineries have a market value of approximately HK$2,699,000.

We have discussed with the Machineries Valuer on the adoption of the methodologies in relation to the Machineries Valuation. We understand that the Machineries Valuer has applied both cost approach and market approach to arrive at the market value estimates for the Machineries. The cost approach considers the cost to reproduce or replace in new condition the assets valued in accordance with the current market prices for similar assets, with allowance for accrued depreciation arising from conditions, utility, age, wear and tear, or obsolescence present, taking into consideration past and present maintenance policy and rebuilding history. The cost approach generally provides the most reliable indication of values for assets without a known used market. The market approach considers prices recently paid for similar assets, with adjustments made to the indicated market prices to reflect condition and utility of the assets valued relative to the market comparative. Assets for which there are established used market comparables may be valued by this approach. We understand the Machineries Valuer uses different valuation methodologies to appraise the Machineries. All two approaches must be considered as one or more approaches may be applicable to value the subject assets. In some situations, elements of both approaches may be combined to reach an opinion of value. We also noted that the Machineries Valuation is prepared in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors on the valuation of plant and equipment.

We are of the opinion that the basis for determining the valuation of the Machineries by the Machineries Valuer is appropriate and the Machineries valuation provides a valid benchmark for the Directors to access the fairness and reasonableness of the consideration for the disposal of the Machineries.

Furthermore, as stated in the Letter from the Board, after the set off, (i) in the event that if there is any outstanding amount due by each of the Sale Companies to each of the Vendors (i.e. the Remaining Group), each of the Vendors shall capitalise such amount into the Sale Shares; and (ii) in the event that if there is any outstanding amount due by each of the Vendors (i.e. the Remaining Group) to each of the Sale Companies, the Sale Companies shall waive such outstanding amount.

In this regard, we have discussed with the management of the Company and we are given to understand that the Company does not contemplate that the above financial reorganisation will not have any significant impact to the consideration of the Disposal. Given that the net aggregate amount due from the Remaining Group is larger than the net aggregate amount due to the Remaining Group, we

– 26 –

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

concur with the Directors’ view that the aforesaid financial reorganisation would be fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Having taken into account that the consideration of the Disposal is determined with reference to (i) the current financial position of the Sale Companies; (ii) the estimated realisable value of Inventories by the Directors as it may be difficult to identify independent third party buyers for the disposal; (iii) the estimated market value of approximately HK$18,430,000 of the properties in Fo Tan and Mei Foo Sun Chuen; (iv) the estimated fair market value of approximately HK$2,699,000 of the Machineries; (v) the outstanding bank loans of the Sale Companies will be settled by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement; (vi) the waiver of the net amount due from the Remaining Group of approximately HK$20,760,000; and (vii) the consideration to be received is subject to adjustment as described in the subsection headed ‘‘Consideration’’ in the section headed ‘‘Principal terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement’’, we are of the view that the consideration of the Disposal is in normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

5. Background of and reason for the Corporate Guarantees

Background of the Corporate Guarantees

As at the Latest Practicable Date, certain Remaining Group members have given Corporate Guarantees in favour of the Sale Companies in respect of the bank loans of the Sale Companies. While the settlement of the outstanding bank loans of the Sale Companies is one of the conditions precedent to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, it is contemplated that the release and the discharge of such Corporate Guarantees will take some time to be effective and it is agreed in the Sale and Purchase Agreement the Vendors will procure the Group to release and discharge of such Corporate Guarantees within six months from the date of Completion. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the bank facilities guaranteed by the Corporate Guarantees amounted to approximately HK$31,500,000. As the Purchaser is a Connected Person and will beneficially own the Sale Companies upon the Completion, the the continuance Corporate Guarantee shall be subject to the requirement of reporting, announcement and the Independent Shareholders’ approval at the EGM by way of poll.

Reason for the Corporate Guarantees

In respect of the continuing Corporate Guarantees, the Company is of the view that the Corporate Guarantees will continue after Completion because of the fact that the relevant banks will not immediately release or discharge the Corporate Guarantees although the Sale Companies will have fully settled the outstanding bank loans in accordance with the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreements. Given that the Purchaser has warranted that it will procure the Sale Companies not to reinitiate the bank facilities after settlement of the outstanding

– 27 –

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

bank loans, the Directors consider that it is a matter of formality for the discharge and release the Corporate Guarantees and consider that the continuance of the Corporate Guarantees for a reasonable short period of time after Completion are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Having considered (i) the settlement of the outstanding bank loans of the Sale Companies is one of the conditions precedent to the Sale and Purchase Agreement; (ii) the release and the discharge of such Corporate Guarantees will take some time to be effective; (iii) the Vendors will procure the Group to release and discharge of such Corporate Guarantees within six months from the date of Completion; and (iv) the Purchaser has warranted that it will procure the Sale Companies not to reinitiate the bank facilities after settlement of the outstanding bank loans, we concur with the Directors’ view that it is a matter of formality for the discharge and release the Corporate Guarantees and the continuance of the Corporate Guarantees for a reasonable short period of time after Completion are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

6. Financial effects of the Disposal

Earnings

According to the unaudited financial statement of the Sale Companies, the Sale Companies recorded a net loss of approximately HK$9,646,000 for the year ended 31 December 2011. Upon completion of the Disposal, the Sale Companies will cease to be wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and the Company will cease to have any equity interests in the Sale Companies.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, after deducting expenses relating to the Disposal, it is estimated that there will be net proceeds of approximately HK$14,171,000 from the Disposal and the Company intends to apply the net proceeds for its general working capital. It is further stated that based on the assets and liabilities disposed of under the Disposal, which included the carrying amounts of Machineries and Inventories, the face value of assets and liabilities of the Sale Companies and the adjusted consideration to be received (before disposal related cost) from the Disposal, the Company estimates that as a whole there will be a gain of approximately HK$400,000 arising from the Disposal to the Group. As advised by the Company that the Disposal would not have an adverse effect on earnings of the Group.

Net asset value

According the unaudited financial statement of the Sale Companies, the Sale Companies had net liabilities (after wavier and exclusion of bank loans) of approximately HK$1,380,000 as at 31 December 2011. Upon completion of the Disposal, all assets and liabilities of the Sale Companies will not be consolidated

– 28 –

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

into the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group. As mention above, the Group is expected to recognise a gain on the Disposal of which will enhance the net asset value of the Group and the cashflow position of the Group.

Working capital

Based on the 2011 Annual Report of the Company, the Group had working capital (i.e. current assets less current liabilities) and bank balances and cash (excluding pledged bank deposits) as at 31 December 2011 of approximately HK$497,947,000 and HK$150,186,000 (excluding pledged bank deposits) respectively. The Group intends to apply the net proceeds to the general working capital, thereby enhancing the working capital position of the Group.

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into account the above-mentioned principal factors and reasons, we consider that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Corporate Guarantees are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the continuance of the Corporate Guarantees and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

China Water Property Group Limited

Suite 6208, 62/F, Central Plaza, 18 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong

Dear Sirs/Madam,

INSTRUCTIONS

We refer to the instruction from China Water Property Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) for us to value the property interests held by Honfine Company Limited, Wah Yuen Foods (Hong Kong) Company Limited, Million Riches Development Limited and Wah Yuen Licensing Company Limited (the ‘‘Sales Companies’’), subsidiaries of the Company, located in Hong Kong. We confirm that we have carried out property inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market values of the property interests as at 30 April 2012 (the ‘‘Valuation Date’’).

This letter which forms part of our valuation report explains the basis and methodologies of valuation, clarifying assumptions, valuation considerations, title investigations and limiting conditions of this valuation.

– 34 –

APPENDIX II

VALUATION REPORT FOR PROPERTIES

BASIS OF VALUATION

Our valuation of each of the property interests is our opinion of its market value which we would define as intended to mean ‘‘the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’slength transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion’’.

The market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, joint ventures, management agreements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value. The market value of a property is also estimated without regard to costs of sale and purchase, and without offset for any associated taxes.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

We have valued the property interests by using the Direct Comparison Approach by making reference to the comparable market transactions as available and where appropriate, on the basis of capitalization of the net income shown on the documents handed to us. We have allowed for outgoings and, in appropriate case, made provisions for reversionary income potential.

VALUATION CONSIDERATIONS

In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors effective from 1 January 2005.

TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have carried out title search of the property interests. We have not examined the original documents to verify the existing titles to the property interests or any amendment which does not appear on the copies handed to us.

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

In undertaking our valuation, we have assumed that, unless otherwise stated, transferable land use rights in respect of the property interests for specific terms at nominal annual land use fees have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid. We have also assumed that the owners of the properties have enforceable titles to the properties and have free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy or assign the properties for the whole of the respective unexpired terms as granted.

– 35 –

APPENDIX II

VALUATION REPORT FOR PROPERTIES

LIMITING CONDITIONS

We have inspected the properties. During the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. However, no structural survey has been made and we are therefore unable to report whether the properties are free from rot infestation or any other defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

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

We have relied to a considerable extent on information provided by the Company and accepted advices given to us on such matters, in particular, but not limited to tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, floor areas and all other relevant matters in the identification of the properties.

We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company. We have also been advised by the Company that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

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

We have conducted on-site inspections to the properties in May 2012 by Ms Jessie X. Chen (MRICS, MSc (Real Estate)).

CURRENCY

All monetary amounts stated in this report are in Hong Kong Dollars (‘‘HKD’’).

The Board of Directors China Water Property Group Limited Suite 6208, 62nd Floor Central Plaza 18 Harbour Road Wanchai Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

Re: Valuation of machinery and equipment

We refer to the instructions from China Water Property Group Limited (hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Instructing Party’’) for us to prepare a valuation report of the machinery and equipment of food production facilities (hereinafter together referred to as the ‘‘Fixed Assets’’) located in the People’s Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘PRC’’). As advised by the Instructing Party, the Fixed Assets exhibited to us are owned by 華園(廣 州)食品有限公司 (unofficially translated as ‘‘Wah Yuen (Guangzhou) Foods Co Ltd.’’ and hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Company’’), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Instructing Party. We confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the Fixed Assets as at 31 March 2012 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Valuation Date’’) for asset disposal purpose.

– 41 –

APPENDIX III

VALUATION REPORT FOR MACHINERIES

This summary report forms part of the detailed valuation report dated 24 May 2012, which comprises:

  • A narrative section, which identifies the Fixed Assets valued, scope and character of our investigation; the premise of the value adopted; the valuation process employed and our opinion of value;

  • Limiting conditions; and

  • A schedule with technical description of the Fixed Assets for each item or group of items as valued.

1.0 FIXED ASSETS VALUED

We conducted our on-site physical inspection of the Fixed Assets on 8 May 2012. The Fixed Assets were inspected at:

  • (1) 中華人民共和國廣東省中山市火炬開發區歐亞路3號 (No. 3 Ouya Road, Zhongshan Torch Hi-tech Industrial Technology Development Zone, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, the PRC)

  • (2) 中華人民共和國廣東省廣州市花都區新華鎮建設北路178號 (No. 178 North Jianshe Road, Xinhua Town, Huadu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, the PRC)

The Fixed Assets comprise the food manufacturing facility of the Company. Major machinery and equipment consist of production conveyors, mixers, ovens, various packaging equipment, walk-in freezers, various preparation equipment, air conditioners, etc.

At the time of our inspection, the Fixed Assets located in Huadu District, Guangzhou City were not in use. As advised, the factory has not been in operation since 2011.

In the course of our valuation, we excluded land and buildings, leasehold improvements in respect of the leasehold property, spare parts, inventories, supplies, materials, on-hand company records or any current and intangible assets.

2.0 PREMISE OF VALUE AND ASSUMPTIONS

In arriving at our opinion of value, we have followed the guidelines issued by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors on the valuation of plant and equipment.

We have valued the Fixed Assets on the basis of their market value which is defined as the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

– 42 –

APPENDIX III

VALUATION REPORT FOR MACHINERIES

We have assumed that further to the above definition, the Fixed Assets remain in use in their working place.

The opinion of market value in use in their working place is not necessarily intended to represent the amount that might be realized from piecemeal disposition of the Fixed Assets or from some other alternate use.

We have further assumed that the Fixed Assets will be used in their present existing states with the benefit of continuity of the tenure of the land and buildings where the Fixed Assets are situated into the foreseeable future.

3.0 VALUATION METHODOLOGY

In arriving at our opinion of value, we have considered the two generally accepted approaches to value, namely:

3.1 Cost Approach

Cost Approach considers that the cost to reproduce or replace in new condition the assets valued in accordance with the current market prices for similar assets, with allowance for accrued depreciation arising from the conditions, utility, age, wear and tear, or obsolescence present (physical, functional or economic), taking into consideration past and present maintenance policy and rebuilding history.

Reproduction Cost New is the estimated current cost of reproducing a new replica of an asset with the same or closely similar materials.

Replacement Cost New is the estimated current cost of a new asset having the nearest equivalent utility as the asset being appraised.

Physical Deterioration is the loss in value of an asset from wear and tear of asset in operation and exposure to various elements.

Functional Obsolescence is the loss in value due to the factors inherent in the asset itself and changes in design, materials, or process that the result in inadequacy, over capacity, excess, construction, lack of functional utility, or excess operating cost, etc.

Economic Obsolescence is an incurable loss in value caused by unfavorable external conditions.

This approach generally furnishes the most reliable indication of value of an asset without a known used market.

3.2 Market Approach

Market Approach considers the price recently paid for similar assets, with adjustment made to the indicated market price to reflect condition and utility of the assets valued relative to the market comparative. Assets for which there are established used market comparables may be valued by this approach.

– 43 –

APPENDIX III

VALUATION REPORT FOR MACHINERIES

In any valuation study, all two approaches must be considered as one or more approaches may be applicable to value the subject assets. In some situations, elements of both approaches may be combined to reach an opinion of value.

4.0 LIMITING CONDITIONS

We have investigated market conditions, interviewed personnel, and examined documents and specifications provided to us before arriving at our opinion of value. We have assumed that the Fixed Assets can perform efficiently according to the purpose for which they were designed and built.

We have accepted the records of the Fixed Assets furnished to us by the Instructing Party as properly describing the Fixed Assets, their cost and their acquisition dates. We have not investigated the title of the Fixed Assets valued and have relied to a considerable extent on such records, listing, specifications and documents in arriving at our opinion of value.

Any deferred maintenance, physical wear and tear, operating malfunctions, lack of utility or other observable conditions distinguishing the Fixed Assets from machinery or like kind in new condition were noted and made as a part of our judgment in arriving at their value.

We have not investigated any industrial safety environmental and health-related regulations in association with this particular manufacturing process. It is assumed that all necessary licenses, procedures, and measures were implemented in accordance with the government legislation and guidance.

This valuation reflects facts and conditions existing at the Valuation Date. Subsequent events have not been considered and we are not required to update our report for such events and conditions.

To the best of our knowledge, all data set forth in this report are true and accurate. The data, opinions, or estimates, identified as being furnished by others which have been used in formulating this analysis are gathered from reliable sources, yet, no guarantee is made nor liability assumed for their accuracy.

We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Instructing Party. We were also advised that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

We confirm that we have neither present nor prospective interests in the Fixed Assets, the Company, the Instructing Party, or the value reported herein.
