As Dalian Taiyuan has sold 28 parking spaces for revenue of RMB5.175 million. If the purchasers of the said car parking spaces claim for a refund, Dalian Taiyuan may need to return up to RMB5.175 million. In order to mitigate the said risk, the Vendor has agreed to provide Dalian Taiyuan RMB5.175 million as a reserve for any potential purchasers’ claims for return of consideration for car parking spaces. Save as disclosed, after consulting with the PRC Legal Adviser and at the best knowledge of the Company, there is no other material risks in relation to the developments.
Due to the above, the independent valuer has not attributed any commercial value to the remaining 185 car parking spaces which have not yet been sold.

The Consideration for the Acquisition is RMB1,920 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2,112 million), which comprised of (1) the Share Consideration in the sum of RMB320 million (equivalent to approximately HK$352 million); and (2) the Loan Consideration in the sum of RMB1,600 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,760 million). Subject to all of the Conditions having been satisfied and/or waived (as the case may be), the Purchaser shall pay the Vendor the Consideration in full on Completion Date.
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 net assets value of the Target Group of RMB78.4 million (equivalent to approximately HK$86.2 million) as at 31 August 2016; and (ii) the preliminary valuation of the land and properties owned by the Target Group, which amounted to approximately RMB2,014.5 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2,216.0 million) as at 30 November 2016.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the original acquisition cost of Dalian Haitong and Dalian Taiyuan, which are the operating subsidiaries of the Target Company, incurred by the Vendor and the associates of the ultimate beneficial owner of the Vendor, Mr. Meng, amounted to approximately RMB1,578.2 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,736 million).
Bao Hua Properties (Dalian) Co., Ltd (保華地產(大連)有限公司) (“ Baohua Dalian* ”) first acquired Dalian Haitong in July 2014 and Dalian Taiyuan in September 2014.
Baohua Dalian was a company with limited liability established in the PRC which was indirectly wholly-owned by Mr. Meng at the relevant time. Pursuant to the sale and purchase agreement (“ 2015 SPA ”) dated 7 October 2015 entered into between 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 and Dalian Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. (大連液力機械有限公司), as the vendor, the entire equity interest in Liaoning Bao Hua Properties Development Co., Ltd. (遼寧保華房地產開發有限公司) (“ Liaoning Bao Hua ”) had been sold to B&H Properties Management (China) Limited (保 華置業管理(中國)有限公司) (“ 2015 Acquisition ”). Baohua Dalian was a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Liaoning Bao Hua and part of target group under 2015 Acquisition being sold to the Group. 2015 Acquisition was completed on 29 March 2016.
In accordance to the terms of 2015 SPA, a corporate reorganisation of the target group were taken place so that only certain companies and properties developments would be remained in the target group for 2015 Acquisition. Dalian Haitong and Dalian Taiyuan were therefore transferred to Huajun Property.

Mr. Meng, as the chairman, an executive Director and a substantial shareholder of the Company, at the perspective of the Company, believes that it is a good price for the Company to acquire the Target Group, with reference to the net assets value of the Target Group and preliminary valuation of the land and properties owned by the Target Group, so that the Company and the Shareholders as a whole can benefit from it.
After taking into account of the factors above 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 and the timing of the acquisition 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.

– 13 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
After the Debt Restructuring, if the outstanding shareholder’s loan due by the Target Group to the Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries is more than RMB1,600 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,760 million), such amount (“ Remaining Loan ”) exceeded the value of the Target Shareholder’s Loan will remain to be owed by the Target Group to the Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries and repayable on demand. As the Debt Restructuring is one of the Conditions for the Completion, no announcement will be issued by the Company upon completion of the Debt Restructuring and the determination of the Remaining Loan. Furthermore, as the assignment of Remaining Loan under the Debt Restructuring would be taken place among the Vendor, the Vendor's PRC Subsidiaries and the Target Group, the Purchaser will not need to sign any loan agreement or assignment, no announcement will be issued by the Company in regard also. Thus, upon the Completion, the grant of Remaining Loan by the Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries to the Target Group will constitute a financial assistance by connected person to the Company. Since the Remaining Loan is intended to be on an interest-free and unsecured basis upon the Completion, it is exempted from the reporting, announcement and independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. As informed by the Vendor, the Vendor and the Vendor's PRC Subsidiaries are not intended to call the Remaining Loan as of the Latest Practicable Date and any time soon after the Completion.
In any event, if the grant of Remaining Loan constitutes a non-exempted financial assistance by the connected person under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, the Company will comply with the Listing Rules and make relevant disclosure as applicable and appropriate.
As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Debt Restructuring has not been completed and is expected to be completed by the end of February 2017.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
As informed by the Vendor, the unaudited consolidated financial information of the Target Group prepared under Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards for the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015 and for the eight months ended 31 August 2016, summarized as follows:
| For the | For the | For the eight | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| as of | as of | as of | |||
| 31 December | 31 December | 31 August | |||

| Net | assets | (liabilities) | 7,089 | (28,640) | 78,417 |
Since the Huajun Property acquired Dalian Haitong and Dalian Taiyuan in August 2015 and October 2015 respectively, the financial information of the Target Group for the year ended 31 December 2015 has consolidated the result of these two companies after the acquisition date.
In 2016, certain properties held by Dalian Taiyuan were sold and delivered to purchasers and Dalian Taiyuan has recognized the revenues and cost in 2016. Thus, the net profit before taxation and after taxation and net assets are fluctuated during the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015 and for the eight months ended 31 August 2016. All of the properties held by Dalian Haitong were still under development in 2016 and therefore no revenue was generated by Dalian Haitong for the eight months ended 31 August 2016.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION
The principal business activity of the Company is investment holding. The Group is principally engaged in business of (a) sale and manufacturing of high quality multi-colour packaging products, carton boxes, books, brochures and other paper products; (b) provision of finance; (c) securities investments; (d) property development and investments; (e) financial leasing; (f) trading and logistics; (g) medical management; (h) manufacturing and sale of industrial equipment; and (i) manufacturing and sale of photovoltaic products.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Both Bao Hua Financial Centre (保華金融中心) and Bao Hua Wang Yuan (保華旺苑) are located in Dalian City, Liaoning Province, the PRC. Through the acquisition of the Target Share, the Group will acquire the interest of Bao Hua Financial Centre (保華金融中 心) and Bao Hua Wang Yuan (保華旺苑). The Acquisition provides an investment opportunity for the Group to strengthen and develop its existing property business which in turn provides an opportunity to the Group to potentially enhance the return for its 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 (i) the Acquisition is beneficial for the Group; (ii) 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 (iii) the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders of the Company as a whole.
FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As at 30 September 2016, the Group had total equity of approximately HK$3,828.3 million.
As at 30 September 2016, the Group had current assets of approximately HK$7,550.9 million comprising cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$293.6 million, and current liabilities of HK$3,021.0 million.

The Group’s gearing ratio, expressed as a percentage of interest-bearing liabilities to total assets was at 32.9% as at 30 September 2016.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION
Upon Completion, the Target Group will become the indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
Net Assets
Set out in Appendix V to this circular is the unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group which illustrates the financial effects of the Acquisition assuming Completion had taken place on 30 September 2016. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group, the total assets of the Group would increase approximately 33.7% from approximately HK$9,154.0 million to approximately HK$12,240.5 million and its total liabilities would increase approximately 58.0% from approximately HK$5,325.7 million to approximately HK$8,412.2 million.
Earnings
According to the Accountants’ Reports, the Target Group recorded a net profit attributable to owners of the company of approximately RMB109.9 million for the period from 1 January 2016 to 31 August 2016. The Acquisition may lead to an increase on the Group’s earnings if the Acquisition was completed on 1 January 2016.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
Mr. Meng is the chairman, the executive Director and a substantial shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Meng directly owns all the issued share capital of B&H Properties Limited, which is the sole shareholder of the Vendor. As the Vendor is indirectly wholly owned by Mr. Meng, theVendor is an associate (as defined under the Listing Rules) of Mr. Meng and hence a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules.
As the relevant percentage ratios for the Acquisition exceeds 25% and the Consideration exceeds HK$10,000,000, the Acquisition constitutes an non-exempt connected transaction for the Company and is subject to reporting, annual review, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
Mr. Meng and his associates (including HIL, Jian Xing and the Vendor, being associates of Mr. Meng) shall abstain from voting at the SGM in respect of the resolutions approving the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereunder. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Vendor does not own any Shares, while Mr. Meng and his associates own the Shares as follows:

-
(ii) HIL holds 3,993,698,214 Shares representing approximately 65.83% of the issued share capital of the Company; and
– 20 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
- (iii) Jian Xing holds 53,571,429 Shares representing approximately 0.88% of the issued share capital of the Company.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, save as Mr. Meng, HIL and Jian Xing, no other Director or Shareholder has a material interest in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, apart from Mr. Meng, HIL, Jian Xing 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. 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.
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.

LETTER FROM INCU CORPORATE FINANCE LIMITED
As at the Latest Practicable Date, we are not connected with Directors, chief executives and substantial shareholders of the Company or HIL and Mr. Meng or any of their respective associates. We are not aware of any relationships or interest between us and the Company or any other parties that could be reasonably be regarded as hindrance to our independence as defined under Rule 13.84 of the Listing Rules to act as the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Apart from normal professional fees payable to us in connection with this appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser, no arrangement exists whereby we will receive any fees from the Company, its subsidiaries, its associates or their respective substantial shareholders or associates. During the past two years, we have been appointed as the independent financial adviser (the “ Previous Engagement ”) to the Company in respect of the connected transaction in relation to the issue of convertible bonds under specific mandate (the “ Issue ”) with details set out in the circular of the Company dated 11 March 2016. We considered that the Previous Engagement did not affect our independence as the Independent Financial Adviser to the proposed Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereunder, since the Previous Engagement merely involved the provision of opinion to the independent board committee and independent shareholder in relation to the Issue, we did not give any advice or opinion to the Company on planning and/or structuring any corporate action outside the scope of the Issue. Accordingly, we consider that we are considered eligible to give independent advice on the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
2) BASIS OF OUR OPINION
In formulating our opinion, we have relied on the statements, information, opinions and representations contained or referred to in the Circular and/or provided to us by the Company and the management of the Group.

The Directors jointly and severally accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular and confirm, having made all reasonable enquiries, that to the best of their knowledge and belief, opinions expressed by them in the Circular have been arrived at after due and careful consideration and there are no other material facts not contained in the Circular, the omission of which would make any such statement made by them that contained in the Circular misleading in all material respects. We have no reason to doubt the truth or accuracy of the information provided to us, or to believe that any material information has been omitted or withheld. We have relied on such information and consider that the information we have received is sufficient for us to reach our advice and recommendation as set out in this letter and to justify our reliance on such information. However, we have not conducted any in-depth independent investigation into the businesses, affairs and financial positions of the Group, the Vendor and the Target Group nor have we carried out any independent verification of the information supplied.
3) PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

The leasing of commercial units of Bao Hua Wang Yuan have recently commenced and it is expected to start generating rental income in July 2017.
According to the State-owned Land Use Rights Certificate, the car parking spaces of the project are for public parking use, which are not allowed to be rented or sold. However, as advised by the Target Group, Dalian Taiyuan has sold 21 car parking spaces and pre-sold 7 car parking spaces as at 30 November 2016. As advised by the legal adviser of the Company in the PRC laws (the “ PRC Legal Adviser ”), the selling of the use right of car parking spaces by Dalian Taiyuan is an act of disposal of property, which infringe the owners’ right but does not infringe the interest of the country. As advised by the PRC Legal Adviser, there is no law stipulated by the PRC government authority that a punishment would be imposed on Dalian Taiyuan because of its sale of car parking space. As Dalian Taiyuan has sold 28 parking spaces for revenue of RMB5.175 million. If the purchasers of the said car parking spaces claim for a refund, Dalian Taiyuan may need to return up to RMB5.175 million. In order to mitigate the said risk, the Vendor has agreed to provide Dalian Taiyuan RMB5.175 million as a reserve for any potential purchasers’ claims for return of consideration for car parking spaces. Save as disclosed, after consulting with the PRC Legal Adviser, there is no material risks in relation to the developments.
As disclosed in the valuation report of Bao Hua Wang Yuan set out in Appendix VI to the Circular, since the 185 unsold car parking spaces are not allowed to be rented or sold pursuant to the State-Owned Land Use Rights Certificate, the 185 car parking spaces have attributed no commercial value in the valuation of Bao Hua Wang Yuan.
Taking into account that (i) the Vendor will fully indemnify Dalian Taiyuan for the potential purchasers’ claims for return of consideration for car parking spaces sold previously; (ii) the amount of the potential claim of RMB5.175 million (equivalent to approximately HK$5.693 million), represented approximately 0.15% of the net assets of the Enlarged Group based on the “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial information of the Enlarged Group” set out in Appendix V to the Circular, will not impose material impact on the financial position of the Enlarged Group; (iii) there is no other material risk associated with the sales of these car parking space other than the potential claims of

LETTER FROM INCU CORPORATE FINANCE LIMITED
RMB5.175 million based on the advice from the PRC Legal Adviser, we consider that the risk exposure in relation to the previous sales of car parking spaces by Dalian Taiyuan to the Enlarged Group is limited.
Although the Target Group has sold certain car parking spaces against the terms of the State-owned Land Use Rights Certificate which resulted in potential claims of RMB5.175 million, taking into account the above factors, we are of the view that the sale of car parking spaces does not affect the fairness and reasonableness of the Acquisition.

Pursuant to the sale and purchase agreement (“ 2015 SPA ”) dated 7 October 2015 entered into between 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 and Dalian Hydraulic Machinery Co., Ltd. (大連液力機械有限公司), as the vendor, the entire equity interest in Liaoning Bao Hua Properties Development Co., Ltd. (遼寧保華房地產開發有限公司) (“ Liaoning Bao Hua ”) had been sold to B&H Properties Management (China) Limited (保華置業管理(中國)有限公司) (“ 2015 Acquisition ”). Baohua Dalian was a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Liaoning Bao Hua and part of target group under 2015 Acquisition being sold to the Group. 2015 Acquisition was completed on 29 March 2016.
In accordance to the terms of 2015 SPA, a corporate reorganisation of the target group were taken place so that only certain companies and properties developments would be remained in the target group for 2015 Acquisition. Dalian Haitong and Dalian Taiyuan were therefore transferred to Huajun Property.

LETTER FROM INCU CORPORATE FINANCE LIMITED
We have enquired and have been advised by the Directors that, at the time of acquisition of Dalian Haitong and Dalian Taiyuan by Mr. Meng in 2014, the Properties were in the preliminary stage of development which required significant amount of capital for their development. At that time, Dalian Bao Hua Financial Center was in the progress of foundation piling without any superstructure erected, while the construction work of Dalian Bao Hua Wang Yuan, other than the structural skeleton of Building B, had not yet commenced. Subsequent to the acquisition by Mr. Meng in 2014 and up to the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, construction costs incurred by Dalian Haitong and Dalian Taiyuan for development of the Properties amounted to approximately RMB446.82 million (equivalent to approximately HK$491.50 million).
As further advised by the Directors, as the underlying property projects of Dalian Haitong and Dalian Taiyuan, being the Properties, were in preliminary stage of development without generating revenue at the time of the 2015 SPA, significant amount of capital was required for further development of the Properties. Based on the estimation of the Company, such capital requirement amounted to approximately RMB952.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,047.5 million. In view of (i) the significant amount of capital requirement; (ii) the uncertainties of the Properties at the time of the 2015 SPA which were in preliminary development stage; (iii) no cash inflow/revenue generated from the Properties at that time, the management of the Company considered that the Properties, at the time of 2015 SPA, was not as attractive as the target assets under the 2015 Acquisition and hence excluded Dalian Haitong and Dalian Taiyuan from the 2015 Acquisition.
Subsequent to the 2015 Acquisition and up to the Latest Practicable Date, Bao Hua Financial Center finished the foundation piling working and the structural skeleton of 31 out of 51 floors has been completed.
In respect of Bao Hua Wang Yuan, construction work of Building A and Building B has been substantially completed in December 2016 and pre-sale of residential units have been commenced in late August 2016. It is also expected that the commercial portion will start to generate rental income from the month of July 2017. Having taken into consideration that (i) the ability of generating sales/rental income of Bao Hua Wang Yuan; and (ii) the cost required to be invested into the development projects before their completion became ascertainable, we concur with the Directors’ view that, the Acquisition is of less risks/uncertainties under current circumstances, as compared to the situation at time of 2015 Acquisition.
As at 30 September 2016, bank balance and cash of the Group amounted to approximately HK$293.6 million. As advised by the Directors, to satisfy the Consideration of approximately RMB1,920 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2,112 million), the Group intends to finance the consideration by the loan of HK$2,000 million to be drawn down under the
– 42 –
LETTER FROM INCU CORPORATE FINANCE LIMITED
credit facility signed between the Company and HIL, a substantial shareholder of the Company, dated 28 September 2016 and 26 January 2017, the loan is unsecured, interest-free and due within one year or a later date agreed between the Company and HIL. The Company will negotiate with HIL for extension of repayment date.
Although the Consideration is higher than the original acquisition cost incurred by Vendor in acquiring Dalian Haitong and Dalian Taiyuan, taking into account (i) the substantial development made to the Properties as evidenced by construction cost of RMB446.82 million incurred subsequent to the acquisition in 2014; (ii) the Consideration of RMB1,920 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2,112 million) is supported by fair value of the Properties of approximately RMB2,014.48 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2,216.00 million); and (iii) the Consideration represented a discount to the fair value of the Properties, we are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable.
Valuation of the Properties
We have interviewed the Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited (“ Valuer ”) and make inquiry on any current or prior relationship between the Valuer and the Group, the Vendor and their core connected persons. We have also reviewed the Valuer’s engagement letter including their scope of work. Based on the review and the interview, we are satisfied with the terms of the engagement of the Valuer and its qualification and experience for preparation of the valuation report. The Valuer confirmed that it is independent of and not connected with the Group, the Vendor, the Target Group and their respective associates. Moreover, the Valuer has confirmed that the valuation report is prepared in line with the standard valuation procedures and practices, the valuation method adopted is commonly used for valuing assets similar to the Properties and the underlying assumptions and basis used in the valuation report are fair and reasonable.
As stated in the “Valuation Report on Properties of the Target Group” (the “ Valuation Report ”) set out in the appendix VI to the Circular, in arriving at the valuation of RMB2,014.5 million for the Properties, the Valuer has adopted comparison approach as valuation method to value the Properties.
– 43 –
LETTER FROM INCU CORPORATE FINANCE LIMITED
For Bao Hua Wang Yuan, assumption is made for sale of the property interest in its existing state with the benefit of immediate vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market. This approach rests on the wide acceptance of the market transactions as the best indicator and pre-supposes that evidence of relevant transactions in the market place can be extrapolated to similar properties, subject to allowances for variable factors.
For Bao Hua Financial Centre, it is assumed to be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposals provided by the Target Group. In arriving at the values, the comparison approach have been adopted by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market and the accrued construction cost and professional fees relevant to the stage of construction as at the valuation date and the remainder of the cost and fees expected to be incurred for completing the development have also been taken into account.
For our due diligence purpose, we have (i) discussed with the relevant staff of the Valuer regarding the methodology used and principal bases and assumptions adopted in the Valuation Report; (ii) reviewed the underlying calculations of the Valuation Report and the information of the comparables properties (including unit prices) adopted by the Valuer; (iii) discussed with the Valuer and understood their selection criteria of comparable properties adopted in the Valuation Report; (iv) discussed with the Valuer and understood that the Valuer has included all of the most suitable comparable properties meeting the selection criteria as identified by them based on their best information, knowledge and belief.
We have reviewed the six comparables adopted by the Valuer in arriving at the fair value of the Properties, and we noted that (i) the comparable properties are located in the location close to the Properties with similar accessibility and decoration; and (ii) all unit price quoted are the asking prices based on the Valuer’s site investigation or quotation from real estate agencies. Based on the above, we consider that the comparables selected by the Valuer are fair and representative samples for direct comparison purpose.
According to the Valuation Report, the fair value of Bao Hua Financial Centre and Bao Hua Wang Yuan was RMB1,564,000,000 and RMB450,475,000 respectively (in aggregate equivalent to approximately HK$2,216.0 million) as at 30 November 2016.
Further details of the basis and assumption of the valuation are included in the Valuation Report as contained in Appendix VI to this Circular. During our discussion with the Valuer, we have not identified any major factors which cause us to doubt the fairness and reasonable of the principal basis, assumptions and methodologies adopted for the valuation of the Properties. However, Shareholders should note that valuation of land and properties usually involves assumptions and therefore the valuation may or may not reflect the true market values of the land and properties accurately.

LETTER FROM INCU CORPORATE FINANCE LIMITED
Debt Restructuring
Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, completion of the Debt Restructuring is one of the conditions precedent of the Acquisition.
As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, prior to the date of transfer of Target Share, the Vendor shall restructure certain liabilities of the Target Group. Through the Debt Restructuring, the liabilities of the Target Group shall be assigned to the subsidiaries (the “ Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries ”) of the Vendor which were established in the PRC so that upon completion of the Debt Restructuring, the liabilities due from the Target Group to Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries will be not less than RMB1,600 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,760 million). As informed by the Vendor, (i) the amount due to ultimate holding company of Target Group B approximately in the sum of RMB1,570,000,000; and (ii) the amounts due to related companies of Target Group B approximately in the sum of RMB87,000,000 are subject to the Debt Restructuring.
Immediately upon completion of the Debt Restructuring, the amount due to ultimate holding company of Target Group B and the amounts due to related companies of Target Group B in the amount of not less than RMB1,600 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,760 million) will be due by the Target Group to the Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries. Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries will assign the right of the Target Shareholder’s Loan of RMB1,600 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,760 million) to the Purchaser or the Company’s subsidiaries.
As further disclosed in the Letter from the Board, after the Debt Restructuring, if the outstanding liabilities due by the Target Group to the Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries is more than RMB1,600 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,760 million), such amount (“ Remaining Loan ”) exceeded the value of the Target Shareholder’s Loan will remain to be owed by the Target Group to the Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries and repayable on demand. As the assignment of Remaining Loan under the Debt Restructuring would be taken place among the Vendor, the Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries and the Target Group, the Purchaser will not need to sign any loan agreement or assignment. Thus, upon the Completion, the grant of Remaining Loan by the Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries to the Target Group will constitute a financial assistance by connected person to the Company. Since the Remaining Loan is intended to be on an interest free and unsecured basis upon the Completion, it is exempted from the reporting, announcement and independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. The Vendor and the Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries are not intend to call the Remaining Loan as of the Latest Practicable Date and any time soon after Completion.
In any event, if the grant of Remaining Loan constitutes a non-exempted financial assistance by the connected person under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, the Company will comply with the Listing Rules and make relevant disclosure as applicable and appropriate.

LETTER FROM INCU CORPORATE FINANCE LIMITED
As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Debt Restructuring has not been completed and is expected to be completed by end of February 2017.
It is noted that (i) the amount due to ultimate holding company of Target Group B in the sum of approximately RMB1,570,000,000; and (ii) the amounts due to related companies of Target Group B in the sum of approximately RMB87,000,000 as at 31 August 2016 are subject to the Debt Restructuring. With reference to the “Accountant’s Report of the Target Group B” set out in the Appendix III to the Circular, the loans subject to the Debt Restructuring are unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand, which is the same as the Remaining Loan. We understand that the Debt Restructuring will not create any additional liabilities to the Target Group and is merely an arrangement of debt settlement. Having considered the above, we are of the view that the Debt Restructuring, being part of the terms under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, will not have adverse effect on the fairness and reasonableness of the Acquisition.
V. Possible financial effects of the Acquisition
Upon Completion, the Target Group will become the indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
Net Assets
As stated in the unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group set out in Appendix V to the Circular, the total assets of the Group would increase from approximately HK$9,154.0 million to approximately HK$12,240.5 million and its total liabilities would increase from approximately HK$5,325.7 million to approximately HK$8,412.2 million. The net assets of the Group would decrease from approximately HK$4,529.9 million to HK$4,306.6 million.
Earnings
According to the “Accountants’ report of the Target Group B” as set out in Appendix III to this Circular, Target Group B recorded a net profit attributable to owners of the company of approximately RMB110.0 million for the eight months ended 31 August 2016. The Acquisition is expected to bring positive effect on the Group’s earnings.
Working capital and gearing
We have reviewed the information provided by the management of the Company in connection with the Enlarged Group’s working capital requirements for not less than twelve months from the date of the Circular. It is also noted from Appendix I to the Circular that the Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account the Enlarged Group’s business prospects, the net assets position of the Enlarged Group, the internal financial

resources available to the Enlarged Group, the existing banking facilities available to the Group and the Acquisition, the Enlarged Group has sufficient working capital for its present operating requirements, that is for at least the next twelve months from the date of this Circular, in the absence of any unforeseeable circumstances.
With regard to the gearing of the Enlarged Group, as the Consideration will be settled by cash and financed by an interest-free loan from HIL, the gearing ratio of the Group is expected to increase as a result of the Acquisition. According to the “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group” set out in Appendix V to the Circular, the gearing ratio (defined as total interest-bearing borrowings divided by total assets) of the Group would increase from approximately 33% to 41%. Having considered that (i) the increase in gearing ratio is mainly due to the settlement of the Consideration for the Acquisition by way of loan from HIL which is interest free and will not adversely affect the earnings of the Group; and (ii) the Acquisition would widen the earning base of the Group with the rental income or sales proceeds to be generated by Bao Hua Financial Center and Bao Hua Wang Yuan, we are of the opinion that the increase in the gearing ratio of the Enlarged Group is acceptable.
RECOMMENDATION
Having taken into account (i) the reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition; (ii) the basis of determination of Consideration; (iii) the principal terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement; and (iv) the possible financial effects of the Acquisition, we are of the view that the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms, are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned but are not in the ordinary course of business of the Company. We consider that the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Accordingly, we would recommend the Independent Shareholders and the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the upcoming SGM to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

The Target Group A has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these new and revised HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new and revised HKFRSs would have a material effect on the results of operations and financial position of the Target Group A.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Financial Information are set out below.
Consolidation
The Financial Information include the financial statements of the Target Company and its subsidiaries made up to the Relevant Period. Subsidiary is an entity over which the Target Group A has control. The Target Group A controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Target Group A has power over an entity when the Target Group A has existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities, i.e. activities that significantly affect the entity’s returns.
– II-7 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP A
When assessing control, the Target Group A considers its potential voting rights as well as potential voting rights held by other parties, to determine whether it has control. A potential voting right is considered only if the holder has the practical ability to exercise that right.
Subsidiary is consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Target Group A. It is de-consolidated from the date the control ceases.
The gain or loss on the disposal of a subsidiary that results in a loss of control represents the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration of the sale plus the fair value of any investment retained in that subsidiary and (ii) the Target Company’s share of the net assets of that subsidiary plus any remaining goodwill relating to that subsidiary and any related accumulated foreign currency translation reserve.
Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised profits are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Target Group A.
Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Target Company. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of changes in equity within equity. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an allocation of profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between the non-controlling shareholders and owners of the Company.
Business combination and goodwill
The acquisition method is used to account for the acquisition of a subsidiary in a business combination. The cost of acquisition is measured at the acquisition-date fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued, liabilities incurred and contingent consideration. Acquisition-related costs are recognised as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received. Identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiary in the acquisition are measured at their acquisition-date fair values.
The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Any excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised in consolidated profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase which is attributed to the Company.
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The method of measuring impairment losses of goodwill is the same as that of other assets as stated in the accounting policy below. Impairment losses of goodwill are recognised in consolidated profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition for the purpose of impairment testing.
The non-controlling interests in the subsidiary are initially measured at the non-controlling shareholders’ proportionate share of the net fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date.
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the Financial Information of each of the Target Group A’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “ functional currency ”). The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi rounded to the nearest thousand, which is the Target Group A’s presentation currency. The functional currency of the Target Company is Hong Kong dollars. The directors consider that choosing Renminbi as the presentation currency best suits the needs of the shareholders and investors.
– II-8 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP A
Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Target Group A becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire; the Target Group A transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets; or the Target Group A neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets but has not retained control on the assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.
Other receivables
Other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. An allowance for impairment of other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Target Group A will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the allowances is the difference between the receivables’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition. The amount of the allowance is recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods and recognised in profit or loss when an increase in the receivables’ recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of the receivables at the date the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents represent cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Target Group A’s cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument under HKFRSs. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Target Group A after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted for specific financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
Other payables
Other payables are stated initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Target Group A and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
– II-9 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP A
Taxation
Income tax represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit recognised in profit or loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Target Group A’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of other 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 arising on investments in a subsidiary, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not 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 is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
For the purposes of measuring deferred tax for investment properties that are measured using the fair value model, the carrying amounts of such properties are presumed to be recovered through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted. The presumption is rebutted when the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model of the Target Group A whose business objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale. If the presumption is rebutted, deferred tax for such investment properties are measured based on the expected manner as to how the properties will be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Target Group A intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

(viii) The entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the Target Company or to a parent of the Target Company.
Impairment of assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Target Group A reviews the carrying amounts of its assets except investment properties and receivables 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 any impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Target Group A estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.
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.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
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 (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP A
Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Target Group A has a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditures 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 is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow is remote.
Events after the reporting period
Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about the Target Group A’s position at the end of the reporting period or those that indicate the going concern assumption is not appropriate are adjusting events and are reflected in the Financial Information. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information when material.
5. CRITICAL JUDGMENTS AND KEY ESTIMATES
Critical judgements in applying accounting policies
In the process of applying the accounting policies, the directors of the Target Company have made the following judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the Financial Information.
(a) Going concern basis
The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends upon the factors explained in note 2 to the Financial Information.
6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Target Group A’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: liquidity risk and foreign currency risk. The Target Group A’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Target Group A’s financial performance.
(a) Liquidity risk
The Target Group A’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.
The maturity analysis of the Target Group A’s financial liabilities is as follows:
| Weighted average effective interest rate At 31 August 2016 Accruals and other payables – Amount due to a controlling shareholder – |
Less than 1 year Total undiscounted cash flow RMB’000 RMB’000 8 8 9 9 17 17 |
Carrying amount RMB’000 8 9 |
|---|---|---|
| 17 |
– II-12 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP A
(b) Foreign currency risk
The Target Group A has minimal exposure to foreign currency risk as most of its business transactions, assets and liabilities are principally denominated in Hong Kong dollars and Renminbi. The Target Group A currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities. The Target Group A will monitor its foreign currency exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

The Board of Directors Huajun Holdings Limited
Dear Sirs,
We set out below our report on the financial information relating to Huajun Property (Dalian) Co., Ltd. (華君置業(大連)有限公司) (“ Huajun Property ”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Target Group B ”), which comprise the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated statements of cash flows of the Target Group B for each of the three years ended 31 December 2013, 2014, 2015 and the eight months ended 31 August 2016 (the “ Relevant Periods ”) and the Target Group B’s consolidated statements of financial position and Huajun Property’s statements of financial position as at 31 December 2013, 2014, 2015 and 31 August 2016 (the “ Financial Information ”) for inclusion in a circular issued by Huajun Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”) dated 28 February 2017 (the “ Circular ”) in connection with the proposed acquisition of the entire equity interests of Hua Tai Jun An International Development Limited which is Huajun Property’s intermediate Holding company (the “ Acquisition ”).
Huajun Property, which is engaged in investment holding, was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “ PRC ”) on 10 May 2012. As at the date of this report, it has two wholly-owned subsidiaries named Dalian Haitong Real Estate Development Co., Limited (大連海通房地產開發有限公司) (“ Dalian Haitong ”) and Dalian Taiyuan Real Estate Development Co., Limited (大連泰元房地產開發有限公司) (“ Dalian Taiyuan ”), which were established on 28 September 2006 and 18 December 2012 respectively in the PRC with limited liability and principally engaged in property development. As at 31 August 2016 and the date of this report, Dalian Haitong and Dalian Taiyuan have registered capital of RMB60,000,000.00 and RMB1,863,000,000.00 respectively.
The Target Group B has adopted 31 December as its financial year end date. As at the date of this report, no statutory audited financial statements have been prepared for Huajun Property, Dalian Haitong and Dalian Taiyuan since its date of incorporation as there are no statutory requirements under the relevant rules and regulations in its jurisdiction of incorporation.
– III-1 –
APPENDIX III
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP B
For the purpose of this report, the directors of Huajun Property have prepared the consolidated financial statements of the Target Group B for the Relevant Periods in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “ HKICPA ”) (“ Underlying Financial Statements ”).
We have performed an independent audit on the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA and have examined the Underlying Financial Statements for the Relevant Periods in accordance with Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectus and the Reporting Accountant” issued by the HKICPA.
The Financial Information of the Target Group B for the Relevant Periods set out in this report has been prepared from the Underlying Financial Statements. No adjustments were considered necessary to the Underlying Financial Statements in preparing our report for inclusion in the Circular.
The preparation of the Underlying Financial Statements are the responsibility of the directors of Huajun Property. The directors of the Company are responsible for the contents of the Circular in which this report is included. It is our responsibility to compile the Financial Information set out in this report from the Underlying Financial Statements, to form an independent opinion on the Financial Information and to report our opinion to you.
OPINION
In our opinion, the Financial Information gives, for the purpose of this report, a true and fair view of the financial position of the Target Group B and Huajun Property as at 31 December 2013, 2014, 2015 and 31 August 2016; and of the financial performance and cash flows of the Target Group B for the Relevant Periods.
COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
For the purpose of this report, the directors of Huajun Property have prepared the comparative financial information of the Target Group B for the eight months ended 31 August 2015 in accordance with the HKFRSs (the “ Comparative Financial Information ”). We have reviewed the Comparative Financial Information in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2400 “Engagements to Review Financial Statements” issued by the HKICPA. A review consists principally of making enquiries of Huajun Property management and applying analytical procedures to the Comparative Financial Information and, based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. 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. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on the Comparative Financial Information.
– III-2 –
APPENDIX III ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP B
REVIEW CONCLUSION
On the basis of our review which does not constitute an audit, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the Comparative Financial Information.
Emphasis of Matters Relating to Going Concern Basis
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 2 to the Financial Information which mentions that as at 31 December 2015 and 31 August 2016, the Target Group B has net current liabilities of approximately RMB1,501,594,000 and RMB1,682,968,000 respectively. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Target Group B’s ability to continue as a going concern. Details of the Target Group B obtaining sufficient resources to satisfy its working capital needs are set out in note 2 to the Financial Information.

APPENDIX III
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP B
NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Huajun Property (Dalian) Co., Ltd. (“ Huajun Property ”) was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “ PRC ”) with limited liability on 10 May 2012. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is 遼寧省大連市甘井子區東緯路34號-1.
The principal activity of Huajun Property is investment holding. The subsidiaries are principally engaged in property development in the PRC.
The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (“ RMB ”), which is the same as the functional currency of the Huajun Property.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis. As at 31 December 2015 and 31 August 2016, the Target Group B has net current liabilities of approximately RMB1,501,594,000 and RMB1,682,968,000 respectively. In preparing the Financial Information, the directors of Huajun Property have reviewed the Target Group B’s financial and liquidity position, and taken into consideration the following factors:
-
if the Target Group B becomes a subsidiary of Huajun Holdings Limited, Huajun Holdings Limited will make available to the Target Group B whatever financial support is required to enable the Target Group B to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for a period of twelve months from the date of this financial information; and
-
cost control measures; and
-
possible additional external funding.
The directors of Huajun Property believe that, taking into account the above factors, the Target Group B will be able to meet in full its financial obligations as and when they fall due for the foreseeable future, and accordingly, have prepared the Financial Information on a going concern basis.
3. ADOPTION OF HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
The Target Group B had adopted all the new and revised (HKFRSs) issued by the HKICPA that are relevant to its operations and effective for its accounting year beginning on 1 January 2016. HKFRSs comprise Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards; Hong Kong Accounting Standards and Interpretations.
The Target Group B has not applied the new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Target Group B has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these new and revised HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new and revised HKFRSs would have a material effect on the results of operations and financial position of the Target Group B.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention modified by the revaluation of investment properties which are carried at their fair values. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Financial Information are set out below.
– III-9 –
APPENDIX III
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP B
Consolidation
The Financial Information include the financial statements of Huajun Property and its subsidiaries made up to the Relevant Periods. Subsidiary is an entity over which the Target Group B has control. The Target Group B controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Target Group B has power over an entity when the Target Group B has existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities, i.e. activities that significantly affect the entity’s returns.
When assessing control, the Target Group B considers its potential voting rights as well as potential voting rights held by other parties, to determine whether it has control. A potential voting right is considered only if the holder has the practical ability to exercise that right.
Subsidiary is consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Target Group B. It is de-consolidated from the date the control ceases.
The gain or loss on the disposal of a subsidiary that results in a loss of control represents the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration of the sale plus the fair value of any investment retained in that subsidiary and (ii) Huajun Property’s share of the net assets of that subsidiary plus any remaining goodwill relating to that subsidiary and any related accumulated foreign currency translation reserve.
Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised profits are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Target Group B.
Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to Huajun Property. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of changes in equity within equity. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an allocation of profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between the non-controlling shareholders and owners of the Company.
Business combination and goodwill
The acquisition method is used to account for the acquisition of a subsidiary in a business combination. The cost of acquisition is measured at the acquisition-date fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued, liabilities incurred and contingent consideration. Acquisition-related costs are recognised as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received. Identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiary in the acquisition are measured at their acquisition-date fair values.
The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Any excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised in consolidated profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase which is attributed to the Company.
– III-10 –
APPENDIX III
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP B
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The method of measuring impairment losses of goodwill is the same as that of other assets as stated in the accounting policy below. Impairment losses of goodwill are recognised in consolidated profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition for the purpose of impairment testing.
The non-controlling interests in the subsidiary are initially measured at the non-controlling shareholders’ proportionate share of the net fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date.
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the Financial Information of each of the Target Group B’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “ functional currency ”). The Financial Information is presented in Renminbi rounded to the nearest thousand, which is the Company’s presentation currency and the functional currency of the operating subsidiaries of the Target Group B.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated at rates sufficient to write off their cost less their residual values over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The principal annual rates are as follows:
| Buildings | 5% |
|---|---|
| Motor Vehicle | 25% |
| Furniture and equipment | 20%-33.3% |
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset, and is recognised in profit or loss.
Investment properties
Investment properties are land and/or buildings held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. An investment property is measured initially at its cost including all direct costs attributable to the property.
After initial recognition, the investment properties are stated at their fair value based on valuation by an external independent valuer. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of the investment properties are recognised in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.
Operating leases
Leases that do not substantially transfer to the lessees all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets are accounted for as operating leases. Lease payments (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
– III-11 –
APPENDIX III
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP B
Properties for sale under development
Properties for sale under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs include acquisition costs, prepaid land lease payments, construction costs, borrowing costs capitalised and other direct costs attributable to such properties. Net realisable value is determined by reference to sale proceeds received after the reporting period less selling expenses, or by estimates based on prevailing market condition. On completion, the properties are reclassified to properties held for sale at the then carrying amount.
Properties held for sale
Properties held for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of properties include acquisition costs, prepaid land lease payments, construction costs, borrowing costs capitalised and other direct costs attributable to such properties. Net realisable value is determined by reference to sale proceeds received after the reporting period less selling expenses, or by estimates based on prevailing market condition.
Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Target Group B becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire; the Target Group B transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets; or the Target Group B neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets but has not retained control on the assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.
Other receivables
Other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. An allowance for impairment of other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Target Group B will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the allowances is the difference between the receivables’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition. The amount of the allowance is recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods and recognised in profit or loss when an increase in the receivables’ recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of the receivables at the date the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents represent cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Target Group B’s cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.
– III-12 –
APPENDIX III
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP B
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument under HKFRSs. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Target Group B after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted for specific financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Target Group B has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are stated initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Target Group B and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
-
(a) Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied:
-
the Target Group B has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
-
the Target Group B 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 B; and
-
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Specifically, revenue from sale of properties in the ordinary course of business is recognised when the respective properties have been completed and delivered to the buyers. Delivery takes place on the date when the property buyers sign the delivery documents. Deposits and instalments received from purchasers prior to meeting the above criteria for revenue recognition are included in the consolidated statement of financial position as ‘‘Pre-sales proceeds received on sales of properties’’ under current liabilities.
- (b) Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.
– III-13 –
APPENDIX III
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP B
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 capitalised as part of 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.
To the extent that funds are borrowed generally and used for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on that asset. The capitalisation rate is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the Group that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Taxation
Income tax represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit recognised in profit or loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Target Group B’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of other 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 arising on investments in a subsidiary, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not 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 is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
– III-14 –
APPENDIX III
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP B
For the purposes of measuring deferred tax for investment properties that are measured using the fair value model, the carrying amounts of such properties are presumed to be recovered through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted. The presumption is rebutted when the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model of the Target Group B whose business objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale. If the presumption is rebutted, deferred tax for such investment properties are measured based on the expected manner as to how the properties will be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Target Group B intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP B
Impairment of assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Target Group B reviews the carrying amounts of its assets except investment properties and receivables 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 any impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Target Group B estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.
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.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
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 (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Target Group B has a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditures 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 is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow is remote.
Events after the reporting period
Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about the Target Group B’s position at the end of the reporting period or those that indicate the going concern assumption is not appropriate are adjusting events and are reflected in the Financial Information. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information when material.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP B
5. CRITICAL JUDGMENTS AND KEY ESTIMATES
Critical judgements in applying accounting policies
In the process of applying the accounting policies, the directors of Huajun Property have made the following judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the Financial Information.
(a) Going concern basis
The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends upon the factors explained in note 2 to the Financial Information.
(b) Deferred tax for investment properties
For the purposes of measuring deferred tax for investment properties that are measured using the fair value model, the directors have reviewed the Target Group B’s investment property portfolios and concluded that the Target Group B’s investment properties are held under a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment properties over time, rather than through sale. Therefore, in determining the Target Group B’s deferred tax for investment properties, the directors of Huajun Property have determined that the presumption that investment properties measured using the fair value model are recovered through sale.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the Relevant Periods, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.
(a) Fair values of investment properties
The Target Group B appointed an independent professional valuer to assess the fair values of the investment properties. In determining the fair values, the valuer has utilised a method of valuation which involves certain estimates. The directors have exercised their judgement and are satisfied that the method of valuation is reflective of the current market conditions.
(b) Land appreciation tax
The Target Group B is subject to land appreciation tax in the PRC. However, the implementation and settlement of the tax varies amongst different tax jurisdictions in various cities of the PRC and certain property development projects of the Target Group B have not finalised their land appreciation tax calculations and payments with local tax authorities in the PRC. Accordingly, significant judgment is required in determining the amount of land appreciation and its related income tax provisions. The Target Group B recognised the land appreciation tax based on management’s best estimates. The final tax outcome could be different from the amounts that were initially recorded, and these differences will impact the income tax expense and the related income tax provisions in the periods in which such tax is finalised with local tax authorities.

APPENDIX III
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP B
- (c) Determination of net realisable value of properties under development for sale and completed properties for sale
Properties under development for sale and completed properties for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value with an aggregate carrying amount of Nil, Nil, RMB278,783,000 and RMB90,747,000 as at 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015 and 31 August 2016 respectively. Cost, including the cost of land, development expenditure, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Target Group B’s accounting policy and other attributable expenses, are allocated to each unit in each phase based on sellable gross floor area, using the weighted average method. The net realisable value is the estimated selling price less estimated selling expenses and estimated cost of completion (if any), which are determined based on best available information. Where there is any decrease in the estimated selling price arising from any changes to the property market conditions in the PRC, there may be write-down on the properties under development for sale and completed properties for sale.
6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Target Group B’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. The Target Group B’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Target Group B’s financial performance.
(a) Credit risk
The carrying amounts of the cash and bank balances, restricted and pledged bank deposits, other receivables and amount due from a related company and ultimate holding company included in the consolidated statements of financial position represent the Target Group B’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to the Target Group B’s financial assets.
The Target Group B has no significant concentrations of credit risk.
Amounts due from a related company and ultimate holding company are closely monitored by the director.
The credit risk on cash and bank balances and restricted and pledged bank deposits is limited because the counterparties are banks with good reputation.
– III-18 –
APPENDIX III
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP B
(b) Liquidity risk
The Target Group B’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term.
The maturity analysis of the Target Group B’s financial liabilities is as follows:
| Weighted average effective interest rate At 31 December 2013 Amount due to ultimate holding company – At 31 December 2014 Amount due to ultimate holding company – At 31 December 2015 Trade payables – Accruals and other payables – Amounts due to related companies – Secured borrowings 11.50% At 31 August 2016 Trade payables – Accruals and other payables – Amount due to a controlling shareholder – Amounts due to related companies – |

| 189,772 657,219 1,570,216 87,268 |
||
| 2,504,475 |
(c) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk means the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments which arise from changes in exchange rates. The Target Group B’s business are mainly located in the PRC and are mainly transacted and settled in Renminbi, so the Target Group B has minimal exposure to foreign currency risk.
(d) Interest rate risk
The Target Group B’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from its restricted and pledged bank deposits and secured borrowings. The Target Group B’s pledged bank deposits and secured borrowings bear interests at fixed interest rates and therefore are subject to fair value interest rate risks and these restricted deposits bear interests at variable rates varied with the then prevailing market condition.
The Target Group B currently does not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate risk exposure and will consider interest rate hedging should the need arise.
– III-19 –
APPENDIX III
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP B
At 31 December 2015 and 31 August 2016 as the Target Group B had no significant bank deposits and interest bearing liabilities at variable rate, the directors consider the risk is not significant.

(f) Fair values
The carrying amounts of the Target Group B’s financial assets and financial liabilities as reflected in the consolidated statements of financial position approximate their respective fair values.
7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The following disclosures of fair value measurements use a fair value hierarchy that categorises into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value:
Level 1 inputs: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs: inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
– III-20 –
APPENDIX III
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP B
Level 3 inputs: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The Target Group B’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of any of the three levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.
The fair value of the Target Group B’s investment properties was determined based on direct comparison approach making reference to comparable market observable transactions of similar locations and conditions and asking price as available in the relevant market. There has been no change from the valuation technique used during the Relevant Period.

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, prior to the date of transfer of Target Share, the Vendor shall restructure certain liabilities of the Target Group. Through the Debt Restructuring, the liabilities of the Target Group shall be assigned to the subsidiaries (the “ Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries ”) of the Vendor which were established in the PRC so that upon the completion of the Debt Restructuring, the liabilities due from the Target Group to Vendor's PRC Subsidiaries will be not less than RMB1,600 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,760 million). As informed by the Vendor, (i) the amount due to ultimate holding company of Target Group B approximately in the sum of RMB1,570,000,000; and (ii) the amounts due to related companies of Target Group B approximately in the sum of RMB87,000,000 are subject to the Debt Restructuring.
Immediately upon the completion of the Debt Restructuring, the amount due to ultimate holding company of Target Group B and the amounts due to related companies of Target Group B in the amount of not less than RMB1,600 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,760 million) will be due by the Target Group to the Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries.

After the Debt Restructuring, if the outstanding shareholder’s loan due by the Target Group to the Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries is more than RMB1,600 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,760 million), such amount (“ Remaining Loan ”) exceeded the value of the Target Shareholder’s Loan will remain to be owed by the Target Group to the Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries and repayable on demand. As the Debt Restructuring is one of the Conditions for the Completion, no announcement will be issued by the Company upon completion of the Debt Restructuring and the determination of the Remaining Loan. Furthermore, as the assignment of Remaining Loan under the Debt Restructuring would be taken place among the Vendor, the Vendor's PRC Subsidiaries and the Target Group, the Purchaser will not need to sign any loan agreement or assignment, no announcement will be issued by the Company in regard also. Thus, upon the Completion, the grant of Remaining Loan by the Vendor’s PRC Subsidiaries to the Target Group will constitute a financial assistance by connected person to the Company. Since the Remaining Loan is intended to be on an interest-free and unsecured basis upon the Completion, it is exempted from the reporting, announcement and independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. As informed by the Vendor, the Vendor and the Vendor's PRC Subsidiaries are not intended to call the Remaining Loan as of the Latest Practicable Date and any time soon after the Completion.
In any event, if the grant of Remaining Loan constitutes a non-exempted financial assistance by the connected person under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, the Company will comply with the Listing Rules and make relevant disclosure as applicable and appropriate.

28 February 2017
The Board of Directors
Huajun Holdings Limited 36th Floor, Champion Tower 3 Garden Road, Central Hong Kong
Dear Sirs,
Pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement entered into between Go Platinum Holdings Limited (the “ Purchaser ”), who is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Huajun Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”), and Hua Tai Jun An International Limited (the “ Vendor ”, the “ Target Company ”), the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell and the Company has conditionally agreed to acquire the Targets Share and the Target Shareholder’s Loan at a total Consideration of RMB1,920 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2,112 million). Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser will acquire the Target Group, that is, the Target Company and its subsidiaries upon Completion, namely, Huatai Junan, Huaan (Shenzhen), Huajun Property, Dalian Haitong, Dalian Taiyuan and two properties developments operated by Dalian Haitong and Dalian Taiyuan as specified in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. As informed by the Vendor, Dalian Haitong currently owns a property development project named Bao Hua Financial Centre (保華金融中心) and Dalian Taiyuan currently owns a property development project named Bao Hua Wang Yuan (保華旺苑), which are both situated at Dalian City, Liaoning Province, the PRC.
Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited (“ JLL ” or “ we ”) is instructed by the Company to provide valuation service on the properties to be acquired in the People’s Republic of China (the “ PRC ”) for disclosure purpose. We confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion on the market values of the property interests as at 30 November 2016 (the “ valuation date ”).
In accordance with Chapter 5 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Listing Rules ”), we classified these properties as the property interest relating to “Property activities” which mean holding
– VI-1 –
APPENDIX VI
VALUATION REPORT ON PROPERTIES OF THE TARGET GROUP
(directly or indirectly) and/or development of properties for letting or retention as investments, or the purchase or development of properties for subsequent sale, or for subsequent letting or retention as investments. Having considered the implications of Rule 5.01A(1) of the Listing Rules, the selected property interests we valued are those property interests relating to “property activities” except for those with a carrying amount below 1% of the Group’s total assets. The total carrying amount of property interests not valued does not exceed 10% of the Group’s total assets. Furthermore, we have adopted the below guidance on what constitutes a property interest:
-
(a) one or more units in the same building or complex;
-
(b) one or more properties located at the same address or lot number;
-
(c) one or more properties comprising an integrated facility;
-
(d) one or more properties, structures or facilities comprising a property development project (even if there are different phases);
-
(e) (one or more properties held for investment within one complex;
-
(f) one or more properties, structures or facilities located contiguously to each other or located on adjoining lots and used for the same or similar operational/business purposes; or
-
(g) a project or phases of development presented to the public as one whole project or forming a single operating entity.
Our valuation is carried out on a market value basis. Market value is defined as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.
We have valued property no. 1 by the comparison approach assuming sale of the property interest in its existing state with the benefit of immediate vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the market. This approach rests on the wide acceptance of the market transactions as the best indicator and pre-supposes that evidence of relevant transactions in the market place can be extrapolated to similar properties, subject to allowances for variable factors.
For the purpose of our valuation, completed properties for sale are those the Construction Work Completion and Inspection Certificate/Tables or Building Ownership Certificates/Real Estate Title Certificates thereof are issued by the relevant local authorities or are in the process of application, this also includes those property interests which have been contracted to be sold, but the formal assignment procedures of which have not yet been completed; and properties for future development are those the Construction Work Commencement Permits are not issued while the State-owned Land Use Rights Certificates have been obtained.
– VI-2 –
APPENDIX VI
VALUATION REPORT ON PROPERTIES OF THE TARGET GROUP
In valuing property no. 2 which is currently under development, we have assumed that it will be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposals provided to us by the Target Group. In arriving at our opinion of values, we have adopted the comparison approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market and have also taken into account the accrued construction cost and professional fees relevant to the stage of construction as at the valuation date and the remainder of the cost and fees expected to be incurred for completing the development. We have relied on the accrued construction cost and professional fees information provided by the Target Group according to the stage of construction of the property as at the valuation date, and we did not find any material inconsistency from those of other similar developments.
For the purpose of our valuation, properties under development are those for which the Construction Works Commencement Permit(s) has (have) been issued while the Construction Works Certified Report(s) or Certificate(s) of Completion of the building(s) have not been issued.
Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the seller sells the property interests in the market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which could serve to affect the values of the property interests.
No allowance has been made in our report for any charge, mortgage or amount owing on any of the property interests valued nor for any expense or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect their value.
In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited; the RICS Valuation – Professional Standards published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors; the HKIS Valuation Standards published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, and the International Valuation Standards published by the International Valuation Standards Council.

APPENDIX VI
VALUATION REPORT ON PROPERTIES OF THE TARGET GROUP
We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Target Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, lettings, and all other relevant matters.
We have been shown copies of title documents including State-owned Land Use Rights Certificates and other official plans relating to the property interests and have made relevant enquiries. Where possible, we have examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the property interests in the PRC and any material encumbrance that might be attached to the property interests or any tenancy amendment. We have relied considerably on the advice given by the Company’s PRC legal advisers – Liao Ning Wei Dian Law Firm (遼寧維典律師事務所), concerning the validity of the property interests in the PRC.
We have not carried out detailed measurements to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the properties but have assumed that the areas shown on the title documents and official site plans handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations. No on-site measurement has been taken.
We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the properties. However, we have not carried out investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and services for any development thereon. Our valuation has been prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no unexpected cost and delay will be incurred during construction. Moreover, no structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defect. We are not, however, able to report whether the property is free of rot, infestation or any other structural defect. No tests were carried out on any of the services.
The site inspection was carried out in the period from 31 October 2016 to 3 November 2016 by Ms. Corrina Li and Ms. Doris Zhang who have 9 years’ and 1 year’s experience respectively in property valuation in the PRC.
We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Target Group. We have also sought confirmation from the Target Group that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to arrive an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.
All monetary figures stated in this report are in Renminbi (RMB).

Notes:
-
(1) The property does not include the portions which have been sold out before the valuation date and the proceeds from which have already been recognized as revenue.
-
(2) According to the content stated on the State-owned Land Use Rights Certificate, the car parking spaces of Project Bao Hua Wang Yuan are for public parking use, which are not allowed to be rented or sold. However, as advised by the Target Group, Dalian Taiyuan has sold 21 car parking spaces and pre-sold 7 car parking spaces as at the valuation date. According to the legal opinion provided by the Company’s PRC legal advisers, the Target Group would not be subject to any punishment imposed by the government referring to the current legal regulation, but would face the risk of returning the car parking spaces’ revenue. As at the valuation date, the Target Group has not been prohibited or punished by relevant government authorities. In the valuation of the property, we have attributed no commercial value to the 185 car-parking spaces (including the aforesaid 7 pre-sold car parking spaces). However, for reference purpose, we are of the opinion that the market value of them as at the valuation date would be RMB33,041,000 assuming all relevant title certificates have been obtained and they could be freely transferred and there is no legal impediment and onerous cost in obtaining the title certificates.
-
(3) This total market value does not include the market value for reference for 185 car parking spaces (without proper title certificates) as stated in note 2.
