SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Date: 7 October 2015
-
Parties: (i) B&H Properties Management (China) Limited* (保華置業管理(中國)有限公司), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as the Purchaser
-
(ii) Dalian Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd.* (大連液力機械有限公司), a limited liability company established in the PRC, as the Vendor
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Vendor is an associate (as defined under the Listing Rules) of Mr. Meng, who is also the chairman and the executive Director of the Company and a substantial shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company. The Vendor is therefore a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules.
Assets to be acquired
Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to acquire and the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell the Target Equity Interest, representing the entire equity interest of the Target Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, and as informed by the Vendor, the Target Group consists of various subsidiaries that participate in the development of property projects and project investments.
Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, only the Target Group, that is, the Target Company and its subsidiaries upon Completion, namely Baohua Dalian, Baohua Yingkou, Royal Lakes Garden and certain properties developments operated by the Target Company and Baohua Yingkou as specified in the Sale and Purchase Agreement will be acquired by the Purchaser, while all other current subsidiaries of the Target Company will cease from being the subsidiaries of the Target Company prior to the Completion, which is one of the Conditions, details of which are set out in the paragraphs headed “Conditions Precedent” and “Reorganisation” of this circular.
Upon Completion, the Target Group will become the indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and their financial results will be consolidated into the financial results of the Group.
Consideration
The Consideration of the Acquisition is RMB750 million, which is equivalent to approximately HK$915 million.
7
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
On Completion Date, the Company will make the payment of the Consideration to the Vendor or the nominee of the Vendor for the Target Equity Interest in the following manners:
-
(i) HK$315 million will be paid in cash; and
-
(ii) HK$600 million will be settled by the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares at HK$1.50 each.
The Consideration was determined by arm’s length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Vendor based on normal commercial terms with reference to (i) the registered capital of the Target Company; (ii) the unaudited net asset value of the Target Group of RMB21.32 million (equivalent to HK$26.01 million) as at 31 August 2015; (iii) the preliminary valuation of the land and properties owned by the Target Group, which amounted to approximately RMB860 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,049.2 million) as at 31 August 2015; and (iv) the original acquisition cost of the Target Group incurred by the Vendor as at the date of the Announcement, which amounted to approximately RMB543.7 million (equivalent to HK$663.3 million).
Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser only acquired the asset of the Target Company, save and except the Deposits Received (as defined below in the paragraph headed “Conditions Precedent”) received by the Target Group, all liabilities of the Target Group shall be borne by the Vendor. As at the date of the Announcement, the total unaudited asset of the Target Group was in the value of approximately RMB760 million (equivalent to HK$927.2 million).
The original acquisition cost of the Target Group as at the date of the Announcement was only mainly referred to the properties which are accounted in the Accountants’ Report as (i) “investment properties” for the properties for rental; and (ii) “properties under development and properties held for sale”, while in addition to the said properties, the total assets of the Target Company also include other receivables and property, plant and equipment. Therefore, the original acquisition cost of the Target Group as of the date of the Announcement was less than the Consideration.
After taking into account of the above, the Board is of the view that the Acquisition is fair and reasonable.
The Consideration Shares will be allotted and issued at the Issue Price of HK$1.50 each under the Specific Mandate, which represents:
-
(a) a premium of approximately 25% over the closing price of HK$1.20 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on Last Trading Date;
-
(b) a premium of approximately 25.84% over the average closing price of HK$1.192 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Date;
-
(c) a premium of approximately 61.29% to the closing price of HK$0.93 per Share on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and
-
(d) a premium of approximately 275% to the Company’s net asset value attributable to the shareholders of the Company of HK$0.4 per Share as at 31 March 2015.
The Issue Price was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Purchaser and the Vendor. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors who have considered the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) consider that the Issue Price is fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms.
The Consideration Shares to be allotted and issued represent approximately 10.15% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and represent approximately 9.22% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares.
8
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Initially, the Board had considered either settling the entire Consideration all by issue of shares or entire in cash. However, after the Board balancing the advantage of the minimization of cash outflow and the dilution of Shareholders shareholding and arm-length negotiation between the parties, it is agreed that part of the Consideration to be paid by Consideration Shares at the Issue Price at premium because the Vendor has confidence on the growth of Company’s business and development and believes that the price of the Shares will gradually increase on long run. The management of the Company is in view that as (i) the Issue Price represents a substantial premium over the Company’s various average closing prices and latest published net asset value price as stated above; and (ii) the payment method of issuing the Consideration Shares will maintain financial position of the Company, to the best knowledge of the Directors, the Directors consider the issue of Consideration Share is financially beneficial to the Company.
As illustrated by the table below under the paragraph headed “EFFECT ON SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY”, the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders in the Company will be diluted from approximately 41.34% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 37.53% immediately after the Completion and issue of Consideration Shares, assuming all outstanding share options granted by the Company have not been exercised and the Shares falling to be issued by the Company under the transaction have not been completed and issued. Although the issue of Consideration Shares will result a dilution effect of the existing Shareholders’ interests, which is minimal, the overall benefit of such issue will outweigh the minimal dilution effect on the shareholding interests of the public Shareholders.
Accordingly, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors who have considered the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) is of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and that the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, one of the Conditions was that all liabilities of the Target Group shall be borne by the Vendor and the Target Group does not owe any loan and/or liabilities to any other third parties, save and except the Deposits Received, which is approximately RMB1 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1.22 million). Therefore, the Company is confident that after the Reorganisation and the fulfillment of the Conditions set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Target Group will remain in a net current asset position and based on the current level of bank balances, facilities availabilities, cash flows to be generated from existing operations of the Company and the resources of the Enlarged Group, the Target Group will have sufficient working capital to finance its operations and remain as a going concern in the foreseeable future.
The principal activities of the Carve-out Companies are as follows:
-
Yingkou Dingcheng – property development;
-
Baohua Yipin – property development and sale; and
-
Dalian Taiyuan – property development, sale and management.
Although the principal activities of the Carved-out Companies are also property development, the Purchaser has not included the Carve-out Companies in the Acquisition because the Company considered that the businesses of the Carved-out Companies were not attractive as their assets are not as valuable to the Company as those under the Acquisition. Therefore, for the benefit of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, the Company decided not to acquire the Carved-out Companies for the Acquisition.
The Accountants’ Report on the Target Group
In the Accountants’ Report, the financial information of the Target Group includes the results of the Target Company, Baohua Dalian, Baohua Yingkou and Royal Lakes Garden, excludes the results of the Carve-out Companies. As described above, only the Target Group, which formed a part of the larger group of Target Company and all of its subsidiaries (collectively the “ Overall Group ”) during the Reporting Period, will be the subject of the Acquisition. The financial information of the Target Group included in the Accountants’ Report is prepared to present the results of the Target Group during the Reporting Period on a carve-out basis, rather than to present the financial information of the Overall Group prepared on an overall group approach which would include historical financial information of the Carve-out Companies.
While Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards do not provide any explicit guidance on the preparation and presentation of carve-out financial statements, the accounting standards do not prohibit such basis of preparation of financial information. When preparing the financial information of the Target Group to be included in the Accountants’ Report, the Company has made reference to Standards for Investment Reporting 2000 (Revised), Investment Reporting Standards Applicable to Public Reporting Engagements on Historical Financial Information issued by The Auditing Practices Board of the Financial Reporting Council of the United Kingdom, which provides, inter alia, that where a business has formed part of a larger group but has not been accounted for separately, it may be desirable to present a separate track record for that business, derived from the records of the overall group.
In compiling the financial information of the Target Group set out in the Accountants’ Report, the Directors considered that it is more appropriate to present the financial information of the Target Group during the Reporting Period on a “carve-out” basis, rather than to present the financial information of the Overall Group prepared on an overall approach due to the following reasons:
-
There are clearly identifiable assets, liabilities, revenue and expenditures of the Target Group and of the Carve-out Companies respectively.
-
It is practicable to identify the historical financial information attributable to the Target Group’s business given that the accounting books and records of the Target Group are maintained separately from the accounting books and records of the Carve-out Companies.
12
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
The Carve-out Companies do not form part of the assets to be acquired by the Company under the Acquisition and hence their historical financial information is not relevant to the trading record of the business proposed to be acquired. The Directors believe that presenting the consolidated financial information of the Overall Group, which would include the results of Carve-out Companies that are not the subject of the Acquisition, would provide irrelevant and potentially misleading financial information to the Independent Shareholders and investors.
-
Presenting the financial information of the Target Group on a “carve-out” basis would provide more direct and relevant information to the Shareholders and investors.
-
The consolidated financial information of the Overall Group had never been prepared by management of the Target Group on a standalone basis.
Completion
Completion of the Acquisition, subject to all of the Conditions having been satisfied and/or waived (as the case may be), shall take place on the 40th Business Days immediately following the satisfaction and/or waiver (as the case may be) of all of the Conditions or such dates as agreed by the Vendor and the Purchaser.
Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, within 30 Business Days immediately after signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Vendor shall conduct and complete the registration in respect of the change of ownership of the Target Equity Interest to the Purchaser and the change of the legal representative, director(s), supervisor(s), business registration certificate, tax registration permit (稅務 登記証) and Organization Code Certificate (組織機構代碼證).
Upon Completion, the Target Group will become the indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and their financial results will be consolidated into the financial results of the Group.
At the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Company expected to despatch the circular by the end of 2015 so by the time that the SGM is held and all other Conditions are fulfilled and/or waived, it will be around the Chinese Lunar New Year. Normally, in the PRC, and so as in Hong Kong, the government authorities would be very busy because many officers would have already started or prolonged their vacation before or after the Chinese Lunar New Year, thus the progress of the applications would be slower around such time even on Business Days.
With the anticipated slow work pace in the government authorities, the Company sets a prolonged Completion Date so that in the event that there is any matters needed to follow up with the government authorities, such as registration and administrative issues for the transfer of the equity interest in the Target Group, more time will be available for dealing with such matters before the Completion Date, when the Company needs to settle the Consideration fully.
Further, the Company will have more flexibility in term of time to settle the cash consideration.

Based on the current level of bank balances, facilities availabilities, cash flows to be generated from existing operations of the Company and the resources of the Enlarged Group, it is expected that the Enlarged Group will have sufficient working capital for the next 12 months from the Latest Practicable Date.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION
The principal business activity of the Company is investment holding. The Group is principally engaged in (i) the sale and manufacture of high quality multi-colour packaging products, carton boxes, books, brochures and other paper products; (ii) provision of finance; (iii) securities investments; (iv) property development and investments; (v) financial leasing; (vi) trading and logistics; (vii) medical management and (viii) industrial equipment.
The Company always is looking for suitable investment opportunities to enrich the Company’s investment portfolio and to enhance future earning capability of the Group. The Company is of the view that the Acquisition of the Target Group will strengthen the existing business segment in property development and investments of the Group and create establishment and exposure of the Group in the Liaoning Province.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors who have considered the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) consider that the Acquisition is beneficial for the Group as it is a suitable investment opportunity to strengthen and develop the Group’s existing property development and investments business and provide an opportunity to the Group to greater the return for the Shareholders.
In view of the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors who have considered the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser), consider that the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is on normal commercial terms in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company after arm’s length negotiation, and the terms of which are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders of the Company as a whole.
Having considered the above, the Directors believe that entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement will provide a great opportunity to the Group to generate income, thus potentially greater return for the Shareholders.

Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group, the total assets of the Group would increase approximately 16.19% from approximately HK$7,672.2 million to approximately HK$8,914.7 million and its total liabilities would increase approximately 5.19% from approximately HK$6,371.7 million to approximately HK$6,702.6 million.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Vendor is an associate (as defined under the Listing Rules) of Mr. Meng, who is the chairman and the executive Director of the Company and a substantial shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, and hence a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. Therefore, the transactions contemplated under the Acquisition constitute connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
As the relevant percentage ratios for the Acquisition exceeds 25% and the Consideration exceeds HK$10,000,000, the Acquisition constitutes non-exempt connected transactions for the Company and are subject to reporting, annual review, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The Vendor, HIL, Mr. Meng and their respective associates (as defined under the Listing Rules) are required to abstain from voting on the resolution(s) in respect of the Acquisition at the SGM. At the Board meeting approving the Acquisition, Mr. Meng has abstained from voting on the relevant Board resolution for considering and approving the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the Vendor does not own any Shares, (ii) HIL holds 2,250,082,214 Shares representing 57.13% of the issued share capital of the Company and (iii) Mr. Meng is also personally interested in 60,430,371 Shares. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, save as Mr. Meng and HIL, no Director or Shareholder has a material interest in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, apart from Mr. Meng, HIL and their respective associates, no other Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the SGM in respect of the resolutions relating to the Sale and Purchase Agreement.
Further, as the relevant applicable ratios for the Acquisition under the Sale and Purchase Agreement are more than 25% but less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.
An Independent Board Committee, comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Zheng Bailin, Mr. Shen Ruolei and Mr. Pun Chi Ping, has been established to consider the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the Acquisition is on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The Independent Financial Adviser has also been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.
SGM
An SGM will be held on Tuesday, 23 February 2016 at 3:00 p.m. at Conference Room, 36/F, Citibank Tower, Citibank Plaza, 3 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong, during which resolution will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Acquisition.
22
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The notice of the SGM is set out on pages 152 and 153 of this circular. A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed. Whether or not the Shareholders are able to attend the SGM, the Shareholders are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the office of the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Union Registrars Limited, at A18th Floor, Asia Orient Tower, Town Place, 33 Lockhart Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude the Shareholders from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjournment thereof should the Shareholders so wish.
Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Accordingly, the Company will procure the chairman of the SGM to demand for voting on poll in respect of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the SGM in accordance with the memorandum of association and the bye-laws of the Company and Union Registrars Limited, the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, will serve as the scrutineer for the vote-taking.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquires, the Vendor, HIL, Mr. Meng and their respective associates (as defined under the Listing Rules) are required to abstain from voting on the resolution(s) in respect of the Acquisition at the SGM.
RECOMMENDATION
Having considered the above-mentioned benefits to the Group and the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are on normal commercial terms and the issue of Consideration Shares under Specific Mandate are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and they are fair and reasonable to the Company. Accordingly, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereunder and the grant of the Specific Mandate.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Your attention is drawn to (1) the letter from the Independent Board Committee set out on pages 24 and 25 of this circular and (2) the letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser set out on pages 26 to 65 of this circular, which contains among other matters, its advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in connection with the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including the grant of Specific Mandate to allot and issue of the Consideration Shares) and the principal factors considered by it in arriving at its recommendation.

LETTER FROM WALLBANCK BROTHERS SECURITIES (HONG KONG) LIMITED
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Vendor is an associate (as defined under the Listing Rules) of Mr. Meng, who is the chairman and the executive Director of the Company and a substantial shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, and hence a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules.

According to the 2015 Annual Report and the 2014 Annual Report, turnover recognized by the Group was approximately HK$747,926,000 for the year ended 31 March 2015, representing an increase of approximately 10.4% as compared to the turnover of approximately HK$677,189,000 for the year ended 31 March 2014. Such increase was mainly driven by slight increases in revenues from the printing segment and diversifications in new segments such as finance lease, trading and medical management.
According to the 2015 Annual Report and the 2014 Annual Report, the profit after taxation by the Group was approximately HK$277,152,000 for the year ended 31 March 2015, representing an increase of approximately 126.7% as compared to the profit after taxation of approximately HK$122,221,000 for the year ended 31 March 2014. The increase was mainly due to the diversification of investments with high return and improvements in other existing businesses.
According to the 2015 Annual Report and the 2014 Annual Report, as at 31 March 2015, the Group had bank and cash balances of approximately HK$1,231,259,000 (2014: approximately HK$99,444,000). The current ratio of the Group as at 31 March 2015 was approximately 2.0 (2014: 1.9), reflecting the fact that the liquidity of the Group remained healthy.

Upon Completion, the Target Group will become the indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and their financial results will be consolidated into the financial results of the Group.
Acquisition Consideration
The Consideration of the Acquisition is RMB750 million, which is equivalent to approximately HK$915 million.
On Completion Date, the Company will make the payment of the Consideration to the Vendor or the nominee of the Vendor for the Target Equity Interest in the following manners:
-
(i) HK$315 million will be paid in cash; and
-
(ii) HK$600 million will be settled by the allotment and issuance of the Consideration Shares at HK$1.50 each.
According to the Letter from the Board, the Consideration was determined by arm’s length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Vendor based on normal commercial terms with reference to (i) the registered capital of the Target Company; (ii) the net asset value of the Target Group of RMB21.32 million (equivalent to HK$26.01 million) as at 31 August 2015; (iii) the preliminary valuation of the land and properties owned by the Target Group, which amounted to approximately RMB860 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,049.2 million) as at 31 August 2015; and (iv) the original acquisition cost, as at the date of the Announcement, of the Target Group incurred by the Vendor, which amounted to approximately RMB543.7 million (equivalent to HK$663.3 million).
Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser only acquired the asset of the Target Company, save and except the Deposits Received of approximately RMB1 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1.22 million) (as defined below in the paragraph headed “Conditions Precedent”) received by the Target Group, all liabilities of the Target Group shall be borne by the Vendor. As at the date of the Announcement, the total unaudited asset of the Target Group was in the value of approximately RMB760 million (equivalent to HK$927.2 million).
According to the Letter from the Board, the original acquisition cost of the Target Group as at the date of the Announcement was only mainly referred to the properties which are accounted in the Accountants’ Report as (i) “investment properties” for the properties for rental; and (ii) “properties under development and properties held for sale”, while in addition to the said properties, the total assets of the Target Company also include other receivables and property, plant and equipment. Therefore, the original acquisition cost of the Target Group as of the date of the Announcement was less than the Consideration.
31
LETTER FROM WALLBANCK BROTHERS SECURITIES (HONG KONG) LIMITED
After taking into account of the above, the Board is of the view that the Acquisition is fair and reasonable.
Consideration Shares
The Consideration Shares will be allotted and issued at the Issue Price of HK$1.50 each under the Specific Mandate, which represents:
-
(a) a premium of approximately 25% over the closing price of HK$1.20 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on Last Trading Date;
-
(b) a premium of approximately 25.84% over the average closing price of HK$1.192 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Date;
-
(c) a premium of approximately 61.29% to the closing price of HK$0.93 per Share on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and
-
(d) a premium of approximately 275% to the Company’s net asset value attributable to the shareholders of the Company of HK$0.4 per Share as at 31 March 2015.
The Issue Price was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Purchaser and the Vendor. The Directors consider that the Issue Price is fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms.
The Consideration Shares to be allotted and issued represent approximately 10.15% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and represent approximately 9.22% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issuance of the Consideration Shares.
According to the Letter from the Board, initially, the Board had considered either settling the entire Consideration all by issue of shares or entire in cash. However, after the Board balancing the advantage of the minimization of cash outflow and the dilution of Shareholders shareholding and arm-length negotiation between the parties, it is agreed that part of the Consideration to be paid by Consideration Shares at the Issue Price at premium because the Vendor has confidence on the growth of Company’s business and development and believes that the price of the Shares will gradually increase on long run. The management of the Company is in view that as (i) the Issue Price represents a substantial premium over the Company’s various average closing prices and latest published audited net asset value as stated above; and (ii) the payment method of issuing the Consideration Shares will maintain financial position of the Company, to the best knowledge of the Directors, the Directors consider the issue of Consideration Share is financially beneficial to the Company.
As illustrated by the table under the paragraph headed “EFFECT ON SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY” in the Letter from the Board, the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders in the Company will be diluted from approximately 41.34% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 37.53% immediately after the Completion and issue of
32
LETTER FROM WALLBANCK BROTHERS SECURITIES (HONG KONG) LIMITED
Consideration Shares, assuming all outstanding share options granted by the Company have not been exercised and the Shares falling to be issued by the Company under the transaction have not been completed and issued. Although the issue of Consideration Shares will result a dilution effect of the existing Shareholders’ interests, which is minimal, the overall benefit of such issue will outweigh the minimal dilution effect on the shareholding interests of the public Shareholders.
Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and that the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The following chart illustrates the closing prices of the Shares from 3 November 2014 up to and including the Last Trading Date (the “ Review Period ”) and the Issue Price of the Consideration Shares of HK$1.50 per Share:

During the Review Period, the daily closing prices of the Share ranged from the lowest closing price of HK$0.45 per Share to the highest closing price of HK$1.46 per Share. Thus, the Issue Price is higher than the highest closing prices of the Shares within the Review Period.
Taking into account that the Issue Price represents (i) premiums of approximately 25%, 25.84% and 275% over the closing price of HK$1.20 per Share on the Last Trading Date, the average closing price of approximately HK$1.192 per Share for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Date and the audited net asset value per Share of the Group attributable to the Shareholders of approximately HK$0.4 as at 31 March 2015, respectively; and (ii) a premium of approximately 85.19% over the average closing Share prices of approximately HK$0.81 per Share during the Review Period, it is fair and reasonable to infer that the Issue Price is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(ii) Valuation of the properties held by the Target Group
We have reviewed the valuation report (the “ Valuation Report ”) prepared by RHL Appraisal Limited (the “ Valuer ”) and discussed with the Valuer regarding the methodology adopted for and the basis and assumptions used in arriving at the market values of the properties and land as at 31 December 2015 of RMB836,000,000 (the “ Valuation ”) in accessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration.
Based on the Valuation Report and as advised by the Valuer, when conducting the Valuation, the Valuer has adopted the direct comparison approach, which is based on the principle of substitution, where comparison is made based on prices realized on actual sales and/or asking prices of comparable properties. The Valuer has analyzed the comparable properties of similar size, scale, nature, character and location and carefully weighed against all the respective advantages and disadvantages of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of market value. It is noted that the direct comparison approach is considered as common and reasonable approach in valuing such form of property interest and is also consistent with normal market practice.
The Valuer represented that they have considered and carried out a preliminary valuation based on the discounted cash flow approach on the Royal Lakes Garden Health Care Center as it is intended to be operated as a hotel business in the future and had obtained a similar valuation compared to the direct comparison approach. The Valuer, having considered that the Royal Lakes Garden Health Care Centre was completed and ready for business only from the second half of this year with no substantial historical financial information available, maintained its direct comparison approach to the valuation of the Royal Lakes Garden Health Care Centre.
In the course of our discussions with the Valuer, it is noted that the Valuer carried out site visits to the properties and land in September 2015 to research for the necessary information for determining the Valuation. For our due diligence purpose, we have also reviewed and enquired into (i) the terms of engagement of the Valuer with the Company; (ii) the Valuer’s qualification and experience including the curriculum vitae of the relevant personnel in relation to the preparation of the Valuation Report; and (iii) the steps and due diligence measures taken by the Valuer for conducting the Valuation. From the mandate letter and other relevant information provided by the

Additional information in relation to the basis and assumptions of the Valuation are included in the Valuation Report as contained in Appendix V to the Circular. During our discussions with the Valuer, we have not identified any major factors which cause us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the principal basis, assumptions and methodologies adopted for the Valuation. Nevertheless, Shareholders should note that valuation of land or properties usually involves assumptions and therefore the Valuation may or may not reflect the true market values of the properties and land accurately.

LETTER FROM WALLBANCK BROTHERS SECURITIES (HONG KONG) LIMITED
8. Risk Factors
Risk factors relating to the Group:
Adverse impact on the Group due to the recent downturn of the PRC economy
Recent downturn of the PRC economy in 2015 may have an adverse impact on the business operations of the Group. Therefore, the financial position of the Group may be materially and adversely impaired.
Difficulties in raising funds in the capital market
Significant and adverse impacts have been caused on the global economy for the years 2016 and 2017 due to the (1) recent increase in interest rate by the Federal Reserve in the United States, (2) recent downturn of PRC economy and emerging countries’ economies (especially Brazil and India), (3) depreciation of the lawful currencies of Russia and PRC, (4) European Refugee Crisis, (5) global crisis of terrorism, (6) recent unprecedented decreasing oil price at around US$30 per barrel, (7) geopolitical crisis, and (8) conflicts between Iran and Iraq and in Middle East.
Such recent downturn in the global economy have continuous significant and adverse impact on the global capital market and may extend to the secondary market as for funding of already listed company such as placings and rights issues. It is possible that the Company will face uncertainties and difficulties for raising finance and funding, including the recent fundraising activities of the Company as detailed in the subsection headed “Indebtedness of the Enlarged Group” on page 58, for the forthcoming years in order to survive and counteract the said adverse impact on the business operations of the Group.
Indebtedness of the Group
As at 30 September 2015, the Group had a total borrowings of HK$5,215,930,000, of which HK$3,195,903,000 was short-term borrowings and HK$2,020,027,000 was long-term borrowings. This represented a gearing ratio (defined as total borrowings divided by total assets) of approximately 68.0%. According to the representations by the Company, the Company is expected to incur a total of approximately HK$235,000,000 of finance cost in the forthcoming 12 months (subject to change). Therefore, amid the said risk factors as detailed above, the Company may not be able to sustain such high finance costs and the financial position of the Company may be adversely affected.
Interest rate risk
The Federal Reserve of the United States increased interest rate in late 2015. It is possible that there would be an increase in the PRC interest rates in 2016 in response to the RMB devaluation (as detailed below) and the said U.S. interest rate increase. The upcoming renewals of the Group short-term borrowings (current liabilities) may be subject to higher interest rate, resulting in higher finance cost for the Group in the future. This may lead to a material adverse impact on the financial position of the Group.
62
LETTER FROM WALLBANCK BROTHERS SECURITIES (HONG KONG) LIMITED
Risk factors relating to the Target Group:
Going concern of the Target Group
According to the Accountants’ Report of the Target Group, the net current liabilities of the Target Group was approximately HK$156,794,000 as at 31 August 2015 and may cast significant doubt about the Target’s Group ability to continue as a going concern. According to the Conditions under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, all liabilities of the Target Group shall be borne by the Vendor (except for the Deposits Received) and the Target Group does not owe any loan and/or liabilities to any other third parties. If all the said liabilities are not repaid and/or borne by the Vendors by Completion, the Target Group may have issues as a going concern. Hence the Completion of the Acquisition may or may not take place.
Financial Status of the Vendors
The financial status of the Vendors are not available for assessment purposes. Therefore, the Vendor may not have the financial competence or capability to repay and/or take up all the liabilities of the Target Group. Hence the Completion of the Acquisition may or may not take place.
Exchange rate risk
The Renminbi to Hong Kong Dollar exchange rate declined unexpectedly by approximately 4.5% during the year 2015. It is possible that the decline may continue in 2016. The Consideration for the Acquisition is specified in Renminbi but payable in Hong Kong Dollar, with the exchange rate of the said currencies determined at the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Therefore, any further possible devaluation of the Renminbi may lead to a decrease in the value of the Target Group and its properties to the Group, and may adversely affect the revenue and profit generated from the sale of said properties and the rental income arising from the Target Group after the Acquisition.
Adverse impact on the business of the Target Group due to the recent downturn of the PRC economy
Recent downturn of the PRC economy in 2015 may have an adverse impact on the Target Group. As the business of the Target Group is mainly focused on the property industry, such downturn of the PRC economy and the said RMB devaluation may have adverse impact on the future rental income and sale of the properties under the Target Group, which may in turn adversely affect the business operations and financial position of the Enlarged Group.
Target Group may incur loss in the future
As the Target Group only recorded profit in 2014 after losses for the years 2012 and 2013, it may require time for improvement in quality and enhancement of market reputation of the business of the Target Group in order to boost revenue in the future. Hence the turnover may stay relatively low and losses may happen in the near future of the Target Group due to the said downturn of the PRC economy and the property market. This is a potential risk which may give rise to a material adverse impact on the Enlarged Group’s business operations and financial position.
63
LETTER FROM WALLBANCK BROTHERS SECURITIES (HONG KONG) LIMITED
Assumption and factors of the preliminary Valuation Report may not be realized
The Valuation Report was compiled by the independent valuer based on certain factors and assumptions estimated by the management of the Company, management of the Target Group and/or their representatives. The said assumptions and factors may not be realized and may affect the evaluation significantly.
Possible unidentified risks concerning the Acquisition
Although the Group has conducted preliminary due diligence with respect to the Acquisition, the Group may not identify all material risks associated with the Acquisition due to inherent limitations of due diligence, including, among other things, unforeseen contingent risks or latent liabilities relating to the entities acquired or to be acquired that may not become apparent until in the future. Any such unidentified risk could have a material adverse impact on the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations after the completion of the Acquisition. Even if the Group identifies any such risk and terminates the Sale and Purchase Agreement prior to the Completion, the Group’s reputation may be harmed and the Group’s prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
The Shareholders shall be fully aware of the implications and impact of the risk factors hereinabove to the Acquisition.
9. Listing Rules Implications
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Vendor is an associate (as defined under the Listing Rules) of Mr. Meng, who is the chairman and the executive Director of the Company and a substantial shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, and hence a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. Therefore, the transactions contemplated under the Acquisition constitute connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
As the relevant percentage ratios for the Acquisition exceeds 25% and the Consideration exceeds HK$10,000,000, the Acquisition constitutes non-exempt connected transactions for the Company and are subject to reporting, annual review, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The Vendor, HIL, Mr. Meng and their respective associates (as defined under the Listing Rules) are required to abstain from voting on the resolution(s) in respect of the Acquisition at the SGM. At the Board meeting approving the Acquisition, Mr. Meng has abstained from voting on the relevant Board resolution for considering and approving the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
64
LETTER FROM WALLBANCK BROTHERS SECURITIES (HONG KONG) LIMITED
As at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the Vendor does not own any Shares, (ii) HIL holds 2,250,082,214 Shares representing 57.13% of the issued share capital of the Company and (iii) Mr. Meng is also personally interested in 60,430,371 Shares. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, save as Mr. Meng and HIL, no Director or Shareholder has a material interest in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, apart from Mr. Meng, HIL and their respective associates, no other Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the SGM in respect of the resolutions relating to the Sale and Purchase Agreement.
Further, as the relevant applicable ratios for the Acquisition under the Sale and Purchase Agreement are more than 25% but less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.
RECOMMENDATION
Having considered the above principal factors and the reasons and the Directors’ representations, on balance and in general terms, we are of the opinion that in such circumstance and at this stage, the terms of Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and 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 favor of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of WALLBANCK BROTHERS Securities (Hong Kong) Limited Phil Chan

COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
For the purpose of this report, we have also reviewed the unaudited comparative financial information of the Target Group including the combined statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, combined statements of changes in equity, and combined statements of cash flows for the eight months ended 31 August 2014, together with the notes thereto (the “Comparative Financial Information”), for which the directors of the Company are responsible, in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by HKICPA. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Comparative Financial Information based on our review.
A review consists principally of making enquiries of the Target Group’s management and applying analytical procedures to the Comparative Financial Information and other review procedures. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would be aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the Comparative Financial Information.
On the basis of our review which does not constitute an audit, for the purpose of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Comparative Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

2.1 Basis of preparation and presentation
The business of the Target Group has formed a part of the larger group of the Target Company and all of its subsidiaries (the “ Overall Group ”) during the Relevant Periods.
For the purpose of preparation of the Financial Information of the Target Group, the assets and liabilities, and the results of the Target Company, Baohua Dalian, Baohua Yingkou and Royal Lakes Garden are combined and the Carve-Out Companies are excluded (i.e. a “carve-out” basis) as compared with the assets and liabilities, and the results of the Overall Group prepared on a consolidated basis.
Management of the Company is of the view that it is more appropriate to present the Financial Information of the Target Group during the Relevant Periods on a “carve-out” basis, rather than to present the financial information of the Overall Group prepared on a consolidated basis, due to the following reasons:
-
There are clearly identifiable assets, liabilities, revenue and expenditures of the Target Group and of the Carve-Out Companies respectively.
-
It is practicable to identify the historical financial information attributable to the Target Group’s business given that the accounting books and records of the Target Group are maintained separately from the accounting books and records of the Carve-Out Companies.
-
Carve-Out Companies does not form part of the assets to be acquired by the Company under the Proposed Acquisition and hence its historical financial information is not relevant to the trading record of the business proposed to be acquired. The Company’s management believes that presenting the consolidated financial information of the Overall Group, which would include the results of Carve-Out Companies that is not the subject of the Proposed Acquisition, would provide irrelevant and potentially misleading financial information to the users of the Financial Information.
-
The consolidated financial information of the Overall Group had never been prepared by management of the Target Group on a standalone basis.
-
Presenting the Financial Information of the Target Group on a “carve-out” basis would provide more direct and relevant information to the users of the Financial Information.
No significant adjustments or allocations of expenses were made in the Financial Information.
For the purpose of the Proposed Acquisition as stated in note 1(b), the Financial Information of the Target Group has been prepared and presented on the basis as if the corporate restructuring as stated in note 1(b) had been completed as at the beginning of the Relevant Periods and the group structure of the Target Group remained unchanged throughout the Relevant Periods.
79
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised profit or loss arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the Financial Information of the Target Group. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
There were no transactions between the Target Group and the Carve-Out Companies during the Relevant Periods.
2.2
Statement of compliance
The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the basis of presentation set out in note 2.1 and the accounting policies set out below, which conform the HKFRS issued by HKICPA. The Financial Information also complies with the applicable disclosure requirement of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules.
The HKICPA has issued a number of new or revised HKFRSs which are relevant to the Target Group and became effective during the Relevant Periods. In preparing this Financial Information, the Target Group has adopted all these new or revised HKFRSs consistently throughout the Relevant Periods.
At the date of this report, HKICPA has issued certain new or amended HKFRSs but are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Target Group. Details of which are set out in note 3.
The accounting polices set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Financial Information.
The Corresponding Financial Information for the eight months ended 31 August 2014 has been prepared in accordance with the same basis and accounting policies adopted in respect of the Financial Information.
2.3 Basis of measurement and going concern assumption
The Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment properties which are measured at their fair values as explained in the accounting policies set out below.
As at 31 August 2015, the Target Group had current liabilities exceed its current assets by RMB128,521,000. This situation indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Target Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the Target Group may not be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Although the Target Group had net current liabilities of RMB128,521,000 as of 31 August 2015, in the opinion of the directors the Target Group will have sufficient working capital to finance its operations and remain as a going concern in the foreseeable future having taken into account the terms of the Proposed Acquisition including the corporate reorganisation and the fulfilment of the precedent conditions set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement, in particular the assumption of the Target Group’s liabilities by the vendors. Accordingly, the directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
2.4 Functional currency
The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (“ RMB ”), which is the same as the functional currency of the Target Company and the Target Group.
2.5 Use of estimates and judgements
It should be noted that accounting estimates and assumptions are used in the preparation of the Financial Information. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge and judgement of current events and actions, actual result may ultimately different from those estimates. The areas involving higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Financial Information are disclosed in note 4.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
2.6 Properties under development and Properties held for sale
Properties under development developed for future sale in the ordinary course of business are included in current assets at the lower of cost and net realisable value. It comprises the consideration for development expenditure (which includes cost of land use rights, construction cost and capitalised finance costs) directly contributable to the development of properties.
Properties held for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
2.7 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.
Sales of properties held for sale
Revenue arising from the sales of properties held for sale is recognised upon the execution of a binding sale agreement, full payment of consideration and fulfilling the terms of the binding sale agreements, which is taken to be the point in time when the risk and rewards of ownership of the property have passed the buyer.
Sales of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:
-
the Target Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
-
the Target Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
-
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Target Group; and
-
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Rendering of services
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised when services are rendered.
Interest income
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Target Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Rental income
The Target Group’s policy for recognition of revenue from operating leases is described in the accounting policy below.
81
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
2.8 Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The Target Group as lessor
Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised as receivables at the amount of the Target Group’s net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Target Group’s net investment outstanding in respect of the leases. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Target Group as lessee
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
Leasehold land for own use
When a lease includes both land and building elements, the Target Group assesses the classification of each element as a finance or an operating lease separately based on the assessment as to whether substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of each element have been transferred to the Target Group, unless it is clear that both elements are operating leases in which case the entire lease is classified as an operating lease. Specifically, the minimum lease payments (including any lumpsum upfront payments) are allocated between the land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and building element of the lease at the inception of the lease.
To the extent the allocation of the lease payments can be made reliably, interest in leasehold land that is accounted for as an operating lease is presented as ‘prepaid lease payments’ in the combined statement of financial position and is amortised over the lease term on a straight-line basis. When the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, the entire lease is generally classified as a finance lease and accounted for as property, plant and equipment.
2.9 Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value. All of the Target Group’s property interests held under operating leases to earn rentals or for capital appreciation purposes are accounted for as investment properties and are measured using the fair value model. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use or no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.
82
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
2.10 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment including leasehold land (classified as finance leases) held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes are stated in the combined statement of financial position at cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
2.11 Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Target Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Target Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that they may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or a cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
2.12 Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
83
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Exchange difference arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
For the purposes of presenting combined financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Target Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Target Group (i.e. RMB) using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of exchange translation reserve (attributed to non-controlling interests appropriate).
On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Target Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a partial disposal of an interest in a joint arrangement or an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a financial asset), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the shareholders of the Target Company are reclassified to profit or loss.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed through acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in other comprehensive income.
2.13 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
2.14 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are calculated using weighted average cost formula. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
2.15 Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“ FVTPL ”)) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
84
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Financial assets
The Target Group’s financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets at FVTPL, loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as FVTPL.
-
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:
-
it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; or
-
it is a part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Target Group manages together and as a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
-
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial assets and is included in the “other gains and losses” line item. Fair value is determined in the manner described in note 34(d).
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables, loan receivables, pledged bank deposits and bank balances and cash) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Impairment loss of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected.
85
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:
-
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
-
breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
-
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.
For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assessed not to be impaired individually. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Target Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the allowed credit period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
For financial assets that are carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities (including trade and other payables and borrowings) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, translation costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Target Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
86
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
Derecognition
The Target Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the assets expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
The Target Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Target Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
2.16 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from “profit before tax” as reported in the combined statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Target Group’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the combined financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries except where the Target Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Target Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
87
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets for investment properties that are measured using the fair value model, the carrying amounts of such properties are presumed to be recovered entirely through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted. The presumption is rebutted when the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale.
Current and deferred tax for the period
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
2.17 Retirement benefit costs
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
2.18 Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Target Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefit is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Target Group are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
2.19 Related parties
For the purposes of the Financial Information, a party is considered to be related to the Target Group if:
-
(a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Target Group if that person:
-
(i) has control or joint control over the Target Group;
-
(ii) has significant influence over the Target Group; or
-
(iii) is a member of key management personnel of the Target Group or the Target Company’s parent.
-
(b) An entity is related to the Target Group if any of the following conditions apply:

-
(ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).
-
(iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.
-
(iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.

3. NEW OR REVISED HKFRSs ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
New standards, interpretations and amendments not yet effective
The following new standards, interpretations and amendments, which are not yet effective and have not been adopted early in these financial statements, will or may have an effect on the Target Group’s future financial statements:
HKFRSs (Amendment) Annual Improvements 2012-2014 Cycyle[1] Amendments to HKAS 1 Disclosure Initiative[1] Amendments to HKAS 16 Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and HKAS 38 and Amortisation[1] Amendments to HKAS 16 and HKAS 41 Agriculture: Bearer Plants[1] Amendments to HKAS 27 Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements[1] HKFRS 9 (2014) Financial Instruments[2] Amendments to HKFRS 10 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its and HKAS 28 Associate or Joint Venture[3] Amendments to HKFRS 11 Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations[1] HKFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts[1] HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers[2]

The directors of the Company anticipate that all of the pronouncements will be adopted in the Target Group’s accounting policy for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. The directors of the Company are currently assessing the possible impact of the new or revised standards on the Target Group’s results and financial position in the first year of application. Those new or revised HKFRSs that is expected have a significant effect on the Target Group’s financial statements are set out below:
89
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX II
HKFRS 9 (2014) Financial Instruments
HKFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows (the business model test) and that have contractual terms that give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (the contractual cash flow characteristics test) are generally measured at amortised cost. Debt instruments that meet the contractual cash flow characteristics test are measured at FVTOCI if the objective of the entity’s business model is both to hold and collect the contractual cash flows and to sell the financial assets. Entities may make an irrevocable election at initial recognition to measure equity instruments that are not held for trading at FVTOCI. All other debt and equity instruments are measured at FVTPL.
HKFRS 9 includes a new expected loss impairment model for all financial assets not measured at FVTPL replacing the incurred loss model in HKAS 39 and new general hedge accounting requirements to allow entities to better reflect their risk management activities in financial statements.
HKFRS 9 carries forward the recognition, classification and measurement requirements for financial liabilities from HKAS 39, except for financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, where the amount of change in fair value attributable to change in credit risk of the liability is recognised in other comprehensive income unless that would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch. In addition, HKFRS 9 retains the requirements in HKAS 39 for derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities.
The directors of the Company are in the process of assessing the impact of the application of HKFRS 9 in the future. It is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of that effect until a detailed review has been completed.
HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In July 2014, HKFRS 15 was issued which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including HKAS 18 Revenue, HKAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related Interpretations when it becomes effective.
The core principle of HKFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Under HKFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ‘control’ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in HKFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios. Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by HKFRS 15.
The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of HKFRS 15 in the future may have a material impact on the amounts reported and disclosures made in the Target Group’s combined financial statements. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of HKFRS 15 until the Target Group performs a detailed review.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
In the application of the Target Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
(a) Depreciation and amortisation
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated or amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Target Group reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values, if any, of the assets annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation and amortisation expenses for the end of each reporting period. The useful lives are estimated based on historical experience with similar assets and taking into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation and amortisation expenses for future periods are adjusted if there are material changes from previous estimates.
(b) Provision for inventories
The Target Group reviews the carrying amounts of inventories at the end of each reporting period to determine whether the inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value in accordance with the accounting policy set out in note 2. The Target Group estimates the net realisable value based on the current market situation and historical experience on similar inventories. A considerable level of judgement is exercised by the Target Group when assessing the net realisable value of inventories. Any increase or decrease in provision for inventories would affect profit or loss in future periods.
(c)
Impairment of assets
Internal and external sources of information are reviewed by the Target Group at the end of each reporting period to assess whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated to determine impairment losses on the assets. Changes in facts and circumstances may affect the conclusion of whether an indication of impairment exists and result in revised estimates of recoverable amounts, which would affect profit or loss in future periods.
Impairment losses on trade debtors are assessed and provided based on management’s regular review of ageing analysis and evaluation of collectability. A considerable level of judgement is exercised by the directors when assessing the creditworthiness and past collection history of each individual customer. Any increase or decrease in impairment losses on trade debtors would affect profit or loss in future periods.
(d) Income taxes
The Target Group is subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are transactions during the ordinary course of business, for which calculation of the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Where the final tax outcome is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences would affect profit or loss in future periods.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the tax losses and deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Estimation of future taxable profits involves judgements made by management. Any increase or decrease in the recognition of deferred tax assets would affect profit or loss in future periods.

(e)
Investment properties
Investment properties are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. In estimating the fair value of an asset, the Target Group uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the Target Group engages third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation. The directors works closely with the qualified external valuers to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model.
The Target Group uses valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market data to estimate the fair value of investment properties. Note 13 provides detailed information about the valuation techniques, inputs and key assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of investment properties.
5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
For management purpose, the Target Group operates in one business unit based on their products, and has one reportable and operating segment: Property development and investment. The director of the Target Company, being the chief operating decision maker, reviews sales reports to determine the selling price of their products and monitors the operating results of its business unit for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.
No geographic information has been presented as all of the Target Group’s operating activities are carried out in PRC.

(a) Interest rate risk
The Target Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk due to the fluctuation of the prevailing market interest rate on bank deposits. The Target Group is also exposed to fair value interest rate risk which relates primarily to the bank borrowings. The Target Group does not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, the director of the Target Company monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise.
The Target Group’s exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note. The Target Group’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of the interest rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China arising from the Target Group’s bank borrowings.
The directors of the Target Company do not expect significant change to the interest rate, and therefore, the sensitivity analysis on the interest rate change in relation to the bank balances has not presented accordingly.
(b) Credit risk
At the end of reporting period, the Target Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Target Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the combined statements of financial position.
In order to minimise the credit risk, the directors of the Company have delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action are taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the directors of the Company review the recoverable amount of each individual trade receivable at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Target Company consider that the credit risk of the Target Group is significantly reduced.
The credit risk with respect to amounts due from related parties, the directors of the Company considered the credit risk is limited because the related parties were all of strong financial position.

(c) Liquidity risk
In the management of liquidity risk, the Target Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Target Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. Management also monitors the utilisation of banking facilities and ensures compliance with loan covenants.
The following tables detail the Target Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest dates on which the Target Group can be required to pay. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities are based on the agreed repayment dates.

The decrease in revenue from the eight months ended 31 August 2014 to the eight months ended 31 August 2015 was mainly due to decrease in sales of properties. The sale of one of the properties projects of Baohua Yingkou, which represented most of the sale revenue of the Target Group in the year 2014, was completed in early 2015. Therefore, there is a significant decrease in revenue for the Target Group for the eight months ended 2015 in comparing to the same period in 2014.
Other income for the eight months ended 31 August 2014 and for the eight months ended 31 August 2015 were approximately RMB50,000 and RMB20.1 million respectively.

Administrative expenses of the Target Group for the eight months ended 31 August 2014 and for the eight months ended 31 August 2015 were approximately RMB4.9 million and RMB7.9 million respectively. The increase in administrative expenses was mainly due to increase in staff cost.
Finance costs of the Target Group for the eight months ended 31 August 2014 and for the eight months ended 31 August 2015 were approximately RMB nil and RMB1,000 respectively.
The amounts due from related parties as at 31 December 2014 and 31 August 2015 are approximately RMB13.0 million and RMB333.1 million respectively. The significant increase was mainly due to the large amount of fund, which received by the Target Group from the sale of property projects of Baohau Yingkou, being transferred to the related parties, namely the then holding company and subsidiaries of the Target Company. Substantial part of the said RMB333.1 million due from related parties as at 31 August 2015 will be net-off pursuant to the assignment agreement entered into by Baohua Yingkou and the said related parties.
Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser only acquired the Target Company with asset, save and except the deposits received by the Target Group in relation to the properties rental and purchase, all other liabilities of the Target Group shall be borne by the Vendor, which is one of the conditions of the Acquisition. The Group will not bear the liabilities in relation to the amounts due to the related parties and the bill payables after Completion.

The Board of Directors
Huajun Holdings Limited
36th Floor, Citibank Tower, Citibank Plaza, 3 Garden Road Central, Hong Kong Dear Sirs/Madam,
INSTRUCTIONS
We refer to your instruction for us to value the property interests (“ the Properties ”) to be acquired by Huajun Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”) or its subsidiaries (together referred as the “ Group ”) located in the People’s Republic of China (the “ PRC ”). 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 value of the such property interests as at 31 December 2015 (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.
122
VALUATION REPORT ON PROPERTIES OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX V
BASIS OF VALUATION
The valuation is our opinion of the market value (“ Market Value ”) which we would define 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 wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably prudently and without compulsion.
Market Value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.
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.
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
We have valued the property interests by using the Direct Comparison Approach, which is based on the principle of substitution, where comparison is made based on prices realized on actual sales and/or asking prices of comparable properties. Comparable properties of similar size, scale, nature, character and location are analysed and carefully weighed against all the respective advantages and disadvantages of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of market value. 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 interest, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the HKIS Valuation Standards 2012 Edition.
123
VALUATION REPORT ON PROPERTIES OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX V
VALUATION ASSUMPTION
In our valuation, unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that:
-
a. all necessary statutory approvals for the Properties or the subject building of which the Properties forms part of their use have been obtained;
-
b. transferable land use rights in respect of the Properties for specific terms at nominal annual land use fees have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid;
-
c. 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;
-
d. no deleterious or hazardous materials or techniques have been used in the construction of the Properties;
-
e. the Properties are not subject to any unusual or especially onerous restrictions, encumbrances or outgoings and that good title can be shown; and
-
f. the Properties are connected to main services and sewers which are available on normal terms.
TITLE INVESTIGATION
We have been shown copies of various documents relating to the property interest. However, we have not examined the original documents to verify the existing titles to the property interest or any amendment which does not appear on the copies handed to us. We have relied considerably on the information given by the Group’s PRC legal advisers, Liaoning Zhe Ming Law Firm, (遼寧哲明律師事 務所), concerning the validity of the titles to the property interests.
LIMITING CONDITIONS
We have conducted on-site inspections to the Properties in September 2015 by our staff Ms. Selina Wu (MSc in Real Estate) and Mr. Kevin Mok. (BSc in Civil Engineering). During the course of our inspections, 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. Moreover, we have not carried out investigations on site to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and the services etc., for any future development. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and no extraordinary expenses or delay will be incurred during the development period.
We have not carried out detailed on-site measurement to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the property but have assumed that the areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. All dimensions, measurements and areas are approximate.
124
VALUATION REPORT ON PROPERTIES OF THE TARGET GROUP
APPENDIX V
We have relied to a considerable extent on information provided by the Group and accepted advices given to us on such matters, in particular, but not limited to tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, size and 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 Group. We have also been advised by the Group that no material fact has 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 interest valued nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale.
The reported market value only applies to the whole of the complex or development as a unique interest, and no piecemeal transaction of the complex or development is assumed.
REMARKS
We have valued the property in Renminbi (RMB).
We enclose herewith the summary of values and the valuation certificates.

Notes:
-
Any member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at a meeting of the Company shall be entitled to appoint another person as his/her proxy to attend and vote instead of him/her. A member of the Company who is the holder of two or more shares may appoint more than one proxy to represent him/her and vote on his/her behalf at a general meeting of the Company or at a class meeting. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.
-
A form of proxy for use at the meeting is enclosed. Whether or not you intend to attend the meeting in person, you are requested to complete, sign and return the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon. Completion and return of the accompanying form of proxy will not preclude members of the Company from attending and voting in person at the aforesaid meeting or any adjournment thereof should they so wish and in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
-
To be valid, the form of proxy, together with any power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of such power of attorney or authority must be deposited with the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Union Registrars Limited, at A18th Floor, Asia Orient Tower, Town Place, 33 Lockhart Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointer or of his/her attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the appointer is a corporation, either under its seal or under the hand of an officer, attorney or other person authorised to sign the same. In the case of an instrument of proxy purporting to be signed on behalf of a corporation by an officer thereof it shall be assumed, unless the contrary appears, that such officer was duly authorised to sign such instrument of proxy on behalf of the corporation without further evidence of the fact.
-
In the case of joint holders of shares, any one of such holders may vote at the meeting, either in person or by proxy, in respect of such shares as if he/she were solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of such joint holders are present at the meeting, whether in person or by proxy, that one of such joint holders whose name stands first on the register of members of the Company in respect of the relevant joint holding shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof.
