The Board proposes to consolidate every ten issued and unissued Existing Shares into one Consolidated Share.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$500,000,000 comprising 18,696,253,872 issued Existing Shares and 31,303,746,128 unissued Existing Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares. As none of the Shareholders has any material interest in the Share Consolidation, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting for such resolution at the SGM.

The Company has applied to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares.

Reasons for Share Consolidation

The Directors believe that the Share Consolidation could increase the trading price of the Consolidated Shares and reduce the number of board lots in the market and, as a result, the transaction costs incurred by the Shareholders based on the number of the board lots of the Consolidated Shares would be lower. Accordingly, the Share Consolidation is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Share Consolidation will not, of itself, alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries except for the payment of related expenses.

Trading arrangement

In order to alleviate the difficulties in the trading of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company has appointed One China Securities Limited as the agent to provide matching service to those Shareholders who wish to top-up or sell their shareholdings of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares on a best effort basis during the period from 9:00 a.m. on 30 June 2015 to 4:00 p.m. on 21 July 2015.

Holders of the Consolidated Shares in odd lots who wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots of the Consolidated Shares or to top-up their odd lots to a full new board lot may directly or through their broker contact Mr. Marco Ko of One China Securities Limited at 2/F Cheong K. Building, 86 Des Voeux Road Central, Central, Hong Kong (Telephone number: (852) 3188 9878) during the aforesaid period. Holders of the Consolidated Shares in odd lots should note that the matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is on a best effort basis and successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. Shareholders are recommended to consult their professional advisers if they are in doubt about the above facility.

Shareholders should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed.

Exchange of share certificates

The expected timetable for the Share Consolidation is set out on pages 9 to 11 of this circular.

– 14 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, Shareholders may submit existing share certificates in exchange for the new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares free of charge to the office of the Registrar, Tricor Standard Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, during the business hours of Tricor Standard Limited from Tuesday, 16 June 2015 to 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 23 July 2015. Thereafter, certificates for the Existing Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 or such higher amount as from time to time be determined for each new share certificate issued or each existing share certificate submitted, whichever number of share certificate involved is higher.

PROPOSED INCREASE IN THE AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL

To facilitate the Rights Issue, the Board proposes to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$500,000,000 to HK$10,000,000,000 by the creation of 95,000,000,000 new Consolidated Shares, which will rank pari passu when issued with all Consolidated Shares in issue upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

The proposed increase in authorised share capital of the Company will be subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the SGM. As none of the Shareholders has any material interest in the increase in authorised share capital, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting for such resolution at the SGM.

PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE

Subject to the Share Consolidation and the increase in the authorised share capital of the Company becoming effective, the Board proposes the Rights Issue, details of which are summarised below:

Issue statistics

Basis of the Rights Issue : ten Rights Shares for every one Consolidated Share held on the Record Date

Number of Existing Shares in : 18,696,253,872 Existing Shares (or 1,869,625,387 issue as at the Latest Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation Practicable Date becoming effective) Number of Rights Shares : 18,696,253,870 Rights Shares (assuming no change in the number of issued Shares on or before the Record Date) Subscription Price : HK$0.35 per Rights Share

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Qualifying Shareholders

The Company will send the Prospectus Documents to Qualifying Shareholders only. To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must:

  1. be registered as a member of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date; and

  2. be a Qualifying Shareholder.

In order to be registered as members of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date, owners of Shares must lodge any transfers of Shares (together with the relevant share certificates) with the Registrar, Tricor Standard Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong for registration no later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 19 June 2015.

Closure of register of members

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Monday, 22 June 2015 to Thursday, 25 June 2015, both days inclusive for determining the entitlements to the Rights Issue. No transfer of Consolidated Shares will be registered during this period.

Rights of Overseas Shareholders

The Prospectus Documents are not intended to be registered under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong.

According to the register of members of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, there were four Shareholders with registered addresses in four jurisdictions outside Hong Kong shown on such register, namely, the BVI, Isle of Man, Korea and Singapore.

Based on the advice provided by the legal advisers on the laws of the BVI, the offering of the Rights Shares by the Company to its Shareholder with registered address in the BVI pursuant to the Rights Issue is not subject to any registration or other legal requirements or any governmental or regulatory or procedures under the laws of the BVI. It would be lawful for the Company to offer the Rights Shares to its Shareholder with registered address in the BVI, if the Rights Issue is made and/or the Prospectus Documents is sent to the BVI Shareholders solely by reason that they are existing Shareholders or beneficial owners of Shares of the Company.

Based on the advice provided by the legal advisers on the laws of Isle of Man, there is no regulatory prohibition on the Rights Issue being extended to the Shareholder with a registered address in the Isle of Man, since the Company will be party to the Rights Issue and therefore the Rights Issue benefits from the exclusion for being treated as a regulated activity.

Based on the advice provided by the legal advisers on the laws of Singapore, the Company has to comply with the prospectus requirements under the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) of Singapore (the ‘‘SFA’’) if the Rights Issue is extended to Singapore

– 16 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholders. The SFA requires that the Prospectus in the required form be circulated to the Singapore Shareholder and registered with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (the ‘‘Authority’’). Accordingly, no offer of securities can be made unless the offer is made in or accompanied by a prospectus or a profile statement which must comply with the information and other requirements of SFA and must be lodged and registered with the Authority in accordance with the conditions of, the relevant provisions under the SFA in respect of offers for securities in Singapore, including, but not limited to, any exemption(s) under any provision of Subdivision (4) of Division 1 of Part XIII of the SFA.

Based on the advice provided by the legal advisers on the laws of Korea, there is no legal restrictions of the laws of Korea in the proposed Rights Issue to the Korean Shareholders, except that registration of a Prospectus containing the terms of the Rights Issue with the Financial Services Commission in Korea must be made prior to the Rights Issue, which can be exempted, provided that any one of the following requirements is satisfied:

  • (i) a condition that the Rights Shares shall not be transferred to any other residents in Korea within one year from the issuance date is stated on the face of the Rights Shares (applicable only when physical instrument is issued), a subscription agreement, underwriting agreement or a written invitation to subscription; the Company or underwriter receives written confirmation of the condition from the Korean Shareholder; or

  • (ii) the Korean Shareholder deposits the Rights Shares immediately after the issuance in an officially recognized depository in Hong Kong; a depository contract is made with a condition that the Rights Shares shall not be withdrawn or transferred to any other residents in Korea within one year from the date of deposit.

In view of the foregoing legal advice obtained from overseas legal advisers and having regard the likely costs and time involved if overseas compliance were to be observed, the Directors have decided to extend the Rights Issue to such Overseas Shareholders with registered addresses located in the BVI and the Isle of Man as shown on the register of members of the Company as at the Record Date.

The Rights Issue will not be extended to the Shareholder with registered address in Singapore and Korea as the Company is not required to make an offer of the Rights Shares if such offer requires registration of the Prospectus Documents under the relevant laws and regulations pursuant to the terms under the Underwriting Agreement or it would be necessary or expedient for the Company to do so.

Arrangements will be made for Rights Shares which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders to be sold in the market in their nilpaid form as soon as practicable after dealings in the nil-paid Rights Shares commence, if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained. The proceeds of such sale, less expenses, of more than HK$100 will be paid pro rata to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders. The Company will retain individual amounts of HK$100 or less for the benefit of the Company. Any unsold entitlement of Non-Qualifying Shareholders, together with any Rights Shares provisionally allotted but not accepted, will be made available for excess application on EAFs by Qualifying Shareholders.

– 17 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company will continue to ascertain whether there are any other Overseas Shareholders on the Record Date and will, if necessary, make further enquiries with legal adviser(s) in other overseas jurisdiction(s) regarding the feasibility of extending the Rights Issue to such other Overseas Shareholders on the Record Date and make relevant disclosures in the Prospectus. Further information in this connection will be set out in the Prospectus Documents containing, among other things, details of the Rights Issue, to be despatched to the Qualifying Shareholders on the Posting Date. The Company will send copies of the Prospectus to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders for their information only, but will not send any PAL and EAF to them on the Posting Date.

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price for the Rights Shares is HK$0.35 per Rights Share, payable in full upon acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of Rights Shares and, where applicable, application for excess Rights Shares under the Rights Issue or when a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares applies for the Rights Shares.

The Subscription Price represents:

  • (a) a discount of approximately 75.86% to the adjusted closing price of HK$1.45 per Consolidated Share, based on the closing price of HK$0.145 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation;

  • (b) a discount of approximately 73.84% to the adjusted average closing price of approximately HK$1.338 per Consolidated Share, based on the average closing price of HK$0.1338 per Existing Share for the five consecutive trading days ended on the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation;

  • (c) a discount of approximately 22.22% to the adjusted theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.45 per Consolidated Share, based on the closing price of HK$0.145 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation;

  • (d) a discount of approximately 77.85% to the adjusted closing price of HK$1.58 per Consolidated Share, based on the closing price of HK$0.158 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation; and

  • (e) a discount of approximately 85.49% to the net asset value of the Company per Consolidated Share of approximately HK$2.413 as at 31 December 2014 and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation.

The Subscription Price was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Underwriters having regard to (a) the market price of the Existing Shares prior to the Last Trading Day, which was in general in a decreasing trend; (b) the loss making position of the Group in the past two financial years; and (c) the prevailing market conditions of the capital market in Hong Kong. The Directors consider that (a) it is not uncommon for listed issuers in Hong Kong to set the subscription price at a discount to the closing prices in

– 18 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

order to increase attractiveness of the rights issue; (b) the scale of the Rights Issue is large and it is necessary to offer a relatively deep discount under the Rights Issue in order to encourage the existing Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue by taking up their respective entitlements and to maintain their shareholdings in the Company and participate in the potential growth of the Group; (c) each Qualifying Shareholder is entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares at the Subscription Price in proportion to his/her/its shareholding in the Company held on the Record Date and hence the interest of the Qualifying Shareholders will not be prejudiced by the discount of the Subscription Price as they are offered with an equal opportunity to participate in the Rights Issue. Rather, the deep discount and high ratio of Rights Shares will allow each Qualifying Shareholder to have greater flexibility in determining the extent of his/her/its participation in the Rights Issue that is best suited his/her/its own financial condition and/or investment strategy.

In view of the above and after taking into consideration the reasons for the Rights Issue as stated in the section headed ‘‘Reasons for the Rights Issue and Use of Proceeds’’ in this letter, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors whose opinion on the matter is set forth in the letter from the Independent Board Committee set out on pages 38 to 39 of this circular) consider the Subscription Price and the discount to the relative values as indicated above, to be fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The net price per Rights Share upon full acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of Rights Shares will be approximately HK$0.34.

Basis of provisional allotment

The basis of the provisional allotment shall be ten Rights Shares for every one Consolidated Share in issue and held on the Record Date, being 18,696,253,870 Rights Shares (assuming there is no change to the number of issued Shares on or before the Record Date), at a price of HK$0.35 per Rights Share. Application for all or any part of a Qualifying Shareholder’s provisional allotment should be made by completing the PAL and lodging the same with a remittance for the Rights Shares being applied for.

Fractional Consolidated Shares

Fractional Consolidated Shares will be disregarded and will not be issued to the Shareholders but all such fractional Consolidated Shares will be aggregated, sold and retained for the benefit of the Company, if possible and applicable. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a Shareholder regardless of the number of share certificates held by such Shareholder.

Status of the Rights Shares

The Rights Shares, when allotted and fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the Consolidated Shares then in issue. Holders of fully-paid Rights Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid after the date of allotment of the Rights Shares in their fully-paid form.

– 19 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Application for excess Rights Shares

Qualifying Shareholders may apply, by way of excess application, for any unsold entitlements of the Non-Qualifying Shareholders and for any Rights Shares provisionally allotted but not accepted. Applications for excess Rights Shares may be made by completing the EAFs for application for excess Rights Shares and lodging the same with a separate remittance for the excess Rights Shares being applied for. The Directors will allocate the excess Rights Shares at their discretion on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of excess Rights Shares being applied for under each application. No reference will be made to the Rights Shares comprised in applications by PAL or the number of Consolidated Shares held by the Qualifying Shareholders. No preference will be given to topping up odd lots to whole board lots.

Investors with their Shares held by a nominee company (or which are held in CCASS) should note that the Board will regard the nominee company (including HKSCC Nominees Limited) as a single Shareholder according to the register of members of the Company. Accordingly, the Shareholders should note that the aforesaid arrangement in relation to the allocation of the excess Rights Shares will not be extended to beneficial owners individually. Investors with their Shares held by a nominee company are advised to consider whether they would like to arrange for the registration of the relevant Shares in the name of the beneficial owner(s) prior to the Record Date.

Investors whose Shares are held by their nominee(s) and who would like to have their names registered on the register of members of the Company, must lodge all necessary documents with the Registrar for completion of the relevant registration by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 19 June 2015.

Refund cheques in respect of wholly or partially unsuccessful applications for excess Rights Shares (if any) are expected to be posted on or before Monday, 20 July 2015 by ordinary post to the applicants at their own risk.

Pursuant to the Irrevocable Undertaking, LIL has unconditionally and irrevocably undertaken to the Company and Kingston Securities, that it will remain as the beneficial owner of such Shares until and including the Record Date and will accept a total of 6,056,099,340 Rights Shares, being its full entitlement under the Rights Issue.

WARNING OF THE RISKS OF DEALING IN SHARES AND RIGHTS SHARES

Any Shareholders or other persons contemplating selling or purchasing Shares and/or nil-paid Rights Shares up to the date when the conditions of the Rights Issue are fulfilled will bear the risk that the Rights Issue could not become unconditional and may not proceed. Shareholders and the public are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

After the close of the financial year 2014, the Board has conducted a business and financial review of the Group’s various businesses and investments and the major financing needs for the upcoming period are identified as follows:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(i) Jeju Project

As disclosed by the Company in its announcement dated 1 February 2015, Landing Jeju, a 50% non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Group, has obtained the building permits granted by the Jeju government for zones A and R of the Land forming part of the Jeju Project, for developing and constructing thereon (i) an integrated resort with a total gross floor area (‘‘GFA’’) of approximately 306,763 square meters comprising premium hotels and villa hotel and other conferencing and exhibition facilities, a theme park, a gaming facility and shopping and other entertainment and tourism facilities and (ii) condominiums, villas, bungalows and other accommodation facilities with a GFA of approximately 132,265 square meters. The earthwork of the integrated resort has been started and the construction works for the accommodation facilities and the hotels and theme park are expected to commence in mid-2015 and early 2016 respectively. Landing Jeju is now inviting tenders for the construction works.

Accordingly, it is expected that Landing Jeju will have to further invest in the Jeju Project by stages from 2015 onwards for completing the construction and other preopening works of the Jeju Project. As Landing Jeju is a start-up and lacks fund raising ability, it is expected that such further capital requirements for the Jeju Project will have to be equally shared and supported by further capital injections and/or shareholders loans from the Company and the Genting Singapore Group. Based upon the cash flow projection prepared by the Company for the Jeju Project for the period up to 30 June 2017, the Group itself will have to raise and get ready extra capital (on top of the Group’s share of bank and cash balance of approximately HK$555 million (instead of HK$588 million as disclosed in the Announcement) held by Landing Jeju and approximately HK$370 million raised in the share subscriptions approved by the shareholders at the special general meeting held on 28 March 2014 exclusively for the Jeju Project) in order to satisfy its projected share of capital/loan contributions to the Jeju Project, of which approximately HK$3,936 million, HK$667 million, HK$235 million and HK$586 million will be spent on (i) earthworks and construction, (ii) furniture, fixtures and equipment, (iii) professional fee and (iv) pre-opening expenses and other administrative expenses, respectively. Accordingly, the Company plans to raise and get ready approximately HK$4,460 million in order to meet the further capital requirements of the Jeju Project.

(ii) Property development

The development of the Yueyang Residential Properties comprises two phases. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the construction of the first phase was near to complete such that the structure and the interior construction of the properties, except for the facilities in the public areas, such as roads and landscape architecture, have been completed. For the second phase, as of the Latest Practicable Date, the structure of the properties had been completed, and the interior constructions, such as mechanical piping, ductwork, and electrical wiring, have just been started. According to current development plan, the construction works of Yueyang Residential Properties are expected to complete by or around the third quarter of 2016 and a total of approximately HK$608 million is estimated to be further required for its construction works.

– 26 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the current construction progress and contracts which have been entered, and taking into account the cash and bank balance of the Yueyang Company and the funds expected to be available from pre-sale during 2015, the Group will require approximately HK$244 million for settling the construction costs of approximately HK$344 million to be due in or before March 2016. It is the Group’s current plan to fund the remaining construction costs of approximately HK$264 million to be due in 2016 and thereafter by the proceeds of pre-sale. However, given that the government policies in relation to the property and financial markets may change, which may affect the sentiment and performance of the property market, it is uncertain if the market responses to the presale and the sale price of the Yueyang Residential Properties are as good as planned. If the result of the pre-sale is below what is planned, further fund raising may be required to finance the outstanding construction costs of the Yueyang Residential Properties.

As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 24 November 2014, the Company had been approached by a potential buyer who had expressed interests in acquiring the property development business of the Group. The said negotiation did not result in any concrete agreement. Yet, the Board considers that any possible sale of the Yueyang Company will allow the Group to realize its investment in the Yueyang Company in an expedient manner, thereby minimizing the Group’s exposure to the market risks resulted from any downturn in the property market and the frequent changes in the property control policies in China. It will also allow the Group to redeploy its resources to its existing and other potential investments in Korea in line with the Group’s long term business strategy. Hence, if the Company is approached again by any other potential buyer who is interested in acquiring this property development business segment of the Group, the Company may consider the possibility to dispose of it if such disposal or relevant terms are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

(iii) Establishment of a training centre

To complement the Group’s investment in Jeju, Korea, the Group has decided to build and establish a training centre in Jeju, Korea to provide trainings for locals on different areas, including but not limited to, property development and gaming business.

The training centre is located on the freehold lands owned by the Group in Jeju, Korea with a GFA of approximately 3,948 square metres. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the earth work of the training centre had been completed, and the construction of the structure of the building has just been commenced. Based on the construction, building, design and fixture/furniture contracts which have been entered into as of the Latest Practicable Date, an aggregate of approximately HK$227 million will be required to complete the relevant construction and such construction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2015.

(iv) Repayment of debts

As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Group’s major indebtedness comprises (i) a finance lease with an Independent Third Party in relation to the Aircraft to be due in 2019, with an outstanding principal amount of approximately HK$255 million and accrued interest up to July 2015 of approximately HK$13 million and (ii) a senior note

– 27 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

issued to another Independent Third Party (the ‘‘Noteholder’’) to be due in early 2016 (the ‘‘Senior Note’’), with an outstanding principal amount of US$100 million and accrued interest up to July 2015 of approximately HK$24 million and a top-up fee of HK$24 million payable to the Noteholder by July 2015 if the Senior Note is redeemed after the 180th day of its issuance date, i.e. 27 July 2015 (the ‘‘Top-up Fee’’).

The Senior Note, with a term of one year, was issued on 27 January 2015 for financing long term investments opportunities from time to time identified by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Note, the Company had paid HK$30 million as the arrangement fee to the Noteholder (the ‘‘Arrangement Fee’’), and is required to pay (a) interest at the annual rate of 6% over the principal amount of the Senior Note and (b) the Top-up Fee. The terms of the Senior Note were reached after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Noteholder. Taking into account the payment of the Arrangement Fee and the Top-up Fee in addition to the interest payments, the effective rate of the Senior Note is approximately 13% and the Company, with reference to the prevailing market rates, considered that the terms of the Senior Note were fair and reasonable.

The proceeds of the Senior Note have been allocated and used for the following long term investments:

  • (a) An aggregate sum of approximately HK$469 million has been invested in the marketable securities of two companies listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange, which were considered by the Company with good growth potentials in business, and henceforth their stock prices. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company recorded an aggregated unrealised gain of approximately HK$258 million from these two investments.

  • (b) A sum of HK$210 million has been paid to a potential vendor, who is an Independent Third Party, on 5 February 2015 as deposit for a potential acquisition of a target group which owns 75% interest in a golf club in the PRC. The deposit will be applied as part payment of the consideration of such potential acquisition if the transaction materializes, otherwise it will be refunded to the Company (without interest). As security for the payment of this deposit, the ultimate beneficial owner of the potential vendor has provided a personal guarantee, and the potential vendor has executed a share charge over the entire issued share capital of the target company, both in favour of the Company. In exchange for the payment of the deposit, the Company was given a six-month exclusivity period to conduct due diligence on the target group and to negotiate with the potential vendor on the terms of this potential acquisition. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company was still undergoing the due diligence process (including valuation) of the target group and no definitive agreement had been reached by the parties on this potential acquisition.

  • (c) Approximately HK$45 million has been injected to Yueyang Company for the construction of Yueyang Residential Properties, among which, approximately HK$30 million has been utilized.

– 28 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (d) A sum of HK$50 million has been utilized for payment to an appointed agent assisting the Group in exploring business and investment opportunities in Korea for costs on account of its professional fees and deposits that may be paid by it on behalf of the Group in any suitable investment opportunities that it may identify for the Group.

The Board intends to early repay the abovementioned debts in full in order to save the aggregate finance costs (net of any early repayment charge and other expenses) of approximately HK$44 million. With the assumption that repayments will be made by end of July 2015, it is expected that an aggregate sum of approximately HK$1,111 million will be required for the full repayments of the aforesaid debts (plus any accrued interests and early repayment charges and expenses).

As stated in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014, the Group had cash and bank balances of approximately HK$1,656 million as at 31 December 2014, which had been reserved and allocated for the following uses: (a) approximately HK$1,480 million (including the cash and balances held by Landing Jeju and the Group’s own reserve of HK$370 million mentioned above) has been reserved for the Jeju Project and (b) approximately HK$176 million for the working capital of the Group (except Landing Jeju). During the year 2015 and up to the Latest Practicable Date, Landing Jeju has utilized approximately HK$138 million for the Jeju Project and other administrative and operating expenses; and the Group has utilised (a) approximately HK$59 million for the construction of the training centre and (b) approximately HK$117 million for the professional fees and working capital of the Group (except Landing Jeju). Accordingly, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group had a total of approximately HK$1,342 million which has all been reserved for the Jeju Project. According to the current budget of the Group for the next 12 months up to 30 April 2016, the Group is expected to have approximately HK$4,468 million total net cash outflow (excluding the expected net proceeds from the Rights Issue and the expected further capital injection from the non-controlling interest of Landing Jeju and net of the expected net cash inflow of approximately HK$16 million from the Lighting Business and approximately HK$101 million from the pre-sale of the Yueyang Residential Properties), comprising (a) approximately HK$2,715 million for the construction, furniture, fixtures and equipment, professional fee and other pre-opening and other administrative expenses of the Jeju Project; (b) approximately HK$243 million for the construction, sales and other administrative expenses; (c) approximately HK$227 million for completing the construction of the training centre; (d) approximately HK$1,111 million for the full repayments of the debts of the Group as mentioned above; and (e) approximately HK$188 million for the working capital of the Group.

Taking into account of the capital requirements of the business plans and the cash position of the Group as mentioned above, the Rights Issue is required to provide the Group with the additional capital required to finance and implement the business plans. Accordingly, the Board considers that the Rights Issue is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

– 29 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Intended use of proceeds

The gross proceeds from the Rights Issue will be not less than approximately HK$6,544 million before expenses. The estimated expenses in relation to the Rights Issue, including the financial, legal, and other professional advisory fees, underwriting commission, printing and translation expenses will be borne by the Company. The estimated net proceeds of the Rights Issue will be not less than approximately HK$6,446 million. Based on the Group’s future financing needs as explained above, the Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Rights Issue as to (i) not more than HK$4,460 million for the Jeju Project; (ii) approximately HK$244 million on the property development of the Yueyang Residential Properties; (iii) approximately HK$227 million for the construction and establishment of a training centre in Jeju, Korea; (iv) approximately HK$1,111 million for the repayment of debts of the Group; and (v) the remaining proceeds of not less than approximately HK$404 million for the working capital of the Group (including the budgeted expenses for operating the Aircraft). The net proceeds from the Rights Issue will be used as intended and the Company will comply with the Listing Rules (including Shareholders’ approval requirement), where applicable, for any change in the use of proceeds.

The abovementioned are the funding needs of the Group in the next 12 months, except for (i) approximately HK$1,778 million allocated for the Jeju Project, which is expected to be required in the third quarter of 2016 under the current development plan of the Jeju Project and (ii) approximately HK$200 million allocated to working capital of the Group for May 2016 onwards.

Fund raising methods comparison

In view of the financing needs as aforementioned, the Board has considered and discussed with financial institutions regarding various fund raising methods available to the Group.

Among different fund raising methods, the Directors have focused on evaluating the possibilities of carrying out fund raising through rights issue and open offer as they are relatively larger in scale as compared to placing of new shares under a general mandate. In respect of debt financing, the Board will not consider debt financing at this stage as the expected finance costs for such large sum of fund are high and additional borrowings will deteriorate the gearing position of the Group.

In comparison, the Rights Issue is pre-emptive in nature, allowing Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding through their participation into the Rights Issue. The Rights Issue allows the Qualifying Shareholders who participate to (a) increase its interests in the shareholding of the Company by (i) acquiring additional rights entitlement in the open market (subject to the availability); and/or (ii) applying through excess applications for Rights Shares or (b) decreasing its interests in the shareholding of the Company by disposing their rights entitlements in the open market (subject to availability). As an open offer does not allow the trading of rights entitlements and accordingly, the Rights Issue is preferred.

– 30 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For the purpose of the Rights Issue, the Company has contacted six financial institutions (including Kingston Securities). Yet due to the scale and size of the proposed fund raising, no concrete terms of offer had been received by the Company from any of them except Kingston Securities and the Company was only able to reach an agreement with the Underwriters under the present terms and structure of the Rights Issue. The Board considers that the Rights Issue will provide the Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholdings in the Company and thus a chance to share the potential growth of the Group, while the Group will be able to strengthen its financial position and to fund its various business plans without incurring additional finance costs under debt financing. The Board is aware of (a) the accumulated dilution effect of 41.68% on the equity fund raisings conducted by the Company in the past 24 months (including the (i) issue of rights shares completed on 4 February 2014 on the basis of one rights share for every two shares held on the record date of 8 January 2014 at HK$0.3 per rights share; (ii) issue of 810,000,000 subscription shares at the price of HK$0.3 per subscription share and issue of 560,000,000 subscription shares at the price of HK$0.4 per subscription share completed on 1 April 2014; (iii) issue of 500,000,000 subscription shares at the price of HK$0.4 per subscription share completed on 11 April 2014; (iv) issue of 700,000,000 subscription shares at the price of HK$0.5 per subscription share completed on 17 June 2014; and (v) issue of 500,000,000 subscription shares at the price of HK$0.5 per subscription share completed on 8 July 2014); and (b) the potential dilution effect of the Rights Issue of a maximum of 90.92% on the Shareholders’ shareholdings in the Company if they do not subscribe for their pro-rata Rights Shares. The Board also notes that the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.45 per Consolidated Share after the Rights Issue represents a discount of approximately 68.97% to the adjusted closing price of HK$1.45 per Consolidated Share on the Last Trading Day (based on the closing price of HK$0.145 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation).

Nonetheless, the Board considers that the interests of the Shareholders can be safeguarded by the following:

  • Independent Shareholders are offered a chance to express their views on the terms of the Rights Issue, the Underwriting Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder through their votes at the SGM;

  • Qualifying Shareholders are offered to subscribe for their pro-rata Rights Shares for the purpose of maintaining their respective shareholdings in the Company at a relatively low price as compared to the historical and prevailing market price of the Shares;

  • those Qualifying Shareholders who choose to accept the Rights Shares in full can maintain their respective shareholdings in the Company after the Rights Issue;

  • offering relatively deep discount on the Subscription Price would encourage Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue and accordingly maintain their shareholdings in the Company and it is not an uncommon practice in rights issue arrangement on the Stock Exchange;

– 31 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • Qualifying Shareholders have the opportunity to realise their nil-paid Rights Shares in the market; and

  • the entire potential dilution effect on the shareholding of the Shareholders will only happen when all the Qualifying Shareholders do not subscribe for their pro-rata Rights Shares, which will be an extreme situation.

Having considered all the factors above, the Board considers that the potential dilution effect on the shareholding interests of the Qualifying Shareholders, which may only happen when the Qualifying Shareholders do not subscribe for their pro-rata Rights Shares, to be acceptable, and hence the fund raising through the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Future fund raising exercises

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the Rights Issue, the Company has not identified any other concrete fund raising plan with any financial institutions and has not contemplated any further fund raising exercise in the next 12 months. However, the proceeds from the Rights Issue may not satisfy the upcoming financing needs in full if there is any change of the Group’s current circumstances and business plans or if there shall arise any other potential investment opportunities.

Hence, the Board does not rule out the possibility that the Company will conduct further debt and/or equity fund raising exercises when suitable fund raising opportunities arise in order to support future developments of the Group. The Company will make further announcement in this regard in accordance with the Listing Rules as and when appropriate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

APPLICATION FOR WHITEWASH WAIVER

LIL is solely and beneficially owned by Mr. Yang Zhihui, an executive Director and a controlling shareholder of the Company, Ms. Xu Ning, an executive Director, is the spouse of Mr. Yang Zhihui. As at the Latest Practicable Date, LIL holds 6,056,099,340 Existing Shares, representing approximately 32.39% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that LIL is called upon to subscribe for the Underwritten Shares in full pursuant to its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the interest of LIL, Mr. Yang Zhihui, Ms. Xu Ning and parties acting in concert with any of them will increase by more than 2% to approximately 75% (assuming that there is no change in the number of issued Shares on or before the Record Date). Accordingly, the underwriting by LIL of the Underwritten Shares under the Rights Issue will trigger an obligation to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code for all the securities of the Company not already owned or agreed to be acquired by LIL, Mr. Yang Zhihui, Ms. Xu Ning and parties acting in concert with any of them, unless a waiver is granted by the Executive.

The Company does not have any outstanding derivatives, warrants or other convertible securities, and there are (a) no arrangements (whether by way of option, indemnity or otherwise) in relation to the shares of LIL or the Company and which might be material to the Rights Issue, the Underwriting Agreement and/or the Whitewash Waiver; (b) no agreements or arrangements to which LIL is a party which relate to the circumstances in which LIL may or may not invoke or seek to invoke a precondition or a condition to the Rights Issue, the Underwriting Agreement and/or the Whitewash Waiver; and (c) no borrowing or lending of any relevant securities (as defined in note 4 of Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) of the Company by LIL, Mr. Yang Zhihui, Ms. Xu Ning and the parties acting in concert with any of them as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Application has been made to the Executive by LIL for the Whitewash Waiver pursuant to Note 1 on dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code, to waive the obligations of LIL to make such a mandatory general offer. Pursuant to the Takeovers Code, the Whitewash Waiver will be conditional on, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM by way of poll in accordance with the requirements of the Takeovers Code.

LIL, Mr. Yang Zhihui, Ms. Xu Ning and the parties acting in concert with any of them and those who are involved or interested in the transactions regarding the Rights Issue, the Underwriting Agreement and/or the Whitewash Waiver will not be entitled to vote at the SGM.

The Executive has agreed, among other matters, subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholder at the SGM, to grant the Whitewash Waiver. If the Whitewash Waiver is approved by the Independent Shareholders, then the obligation by LIL to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeover Code will be waived.

If the Whitewash Waiver is approved by the Independent Shareholders, the shareholding of the Concert Party Group will exceed 50%. The Concert Party Group may further increase its shareholding in the Company without incurring any further obligations under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code to make a general offer.

– 33 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Notes:

  1. All of the 6,056,099,340 Existing Shares are held by LIL, which is solely and beneficially owned by Mr. Yang Zhihui, an executive Director. Ms. Xu Ning, an executive Director, is the spouse of Mr. Yang Zhihui. Save for LIL, the Company has no other substantial shareholder and no Director (except Mr. Yang Zhihui and Ms. Xu Ning) is directly interested in any Shares.

  2. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Kingston Securities does not have any sub-underwriting arrangements in place. As and when any subscribers for Rights Shares and/or sub-underwriters are procured by Kingston Securities, Kingston Securities will use its best endeavours to ensure that (i) such subscribers and/or sub-underwriters are Independent Third Parties, and (ii) such sub-underwriters will not hold more than 10.0% of the equity interest in the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue.

IMPLICATION UNDER THE TAKEOVERS CODE

The Rights Issue will trigger a mandatory general offer required to be made by LIL under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code, for all the Shares other than those already owned by the Concert Party Group. LIL has made an application to the Executive to apply for the Whitewash

– 34 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Waiver. The Executive has indicated that it will grant the Whitewash Waiver subject to the approval by the Independent Shareholders on votes taken by way of poll. The Concert Party Group and their respective associates will abstain from voting at the SGM in this respect. Should the Whitewash Waiver be granted, LIL will not be required to make a general offer upon completion of the Rights Issue.

IMPLICATION UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As the Rights Issue will increase the issued share capital of the Company by more than 50%, the Rights Issue is subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the SGM by way of poll. Pursuant to Rule 7.19(6) of the Listing Rules, the Rights Issue must be made conditional upon approval by the Shareholders in general meeting by a resolution on which any controlling shareholders and their associates or, where there are no controlling shareholders, the Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors) and the chief executive of the Company and their respective associates will abstain from voting.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, LIL, a company wholly owned by Mr. Yang Zhihui, an executive Director, holds 6,056,099,340 Existing Shares, representing approximately 32.39% of the issued share capital of the Company. Accordingly, LIL and Mr. Yang Zhihui and their respective associates, together with parties acting in concert with either of them, will abstain from voting at the SGM to approve the Rights Issue.

CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

LIL is wholly owned by Mr. Yang Zhihui, an executive Director and controlling shareholder of the Company, and is therefore a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the transaction contemplated under the Underwriting Agreement constitutes a connected transaction under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to Rule 14A.92(2) of the Listing Rules, provided that Rule 7.21(2) of the Listing Rules has been complied with, the allotment and issue of the Underwritten Shares to LIL pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement will be exempted from the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements of Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As the Company has made arrangement to apply for the Rights Shares by the Qualifying Shareholders in excess of their entitlements under the Rights Issue as referred to in Rule 7.21(1) of the Listing Rules, Rule 7.21(2) of the Listing Rules has been complied with and the allotment and issue of the Underwritten Shares to LIL pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement will be exempted from the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholder’s approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

In addition, the payment of the Underwriting Commission to LIL constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As the maximum Underwriting Commission to be received by the Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement is approximately HK$61,339,000 and one of the applicable percentage ratios (other than the profits ratio) as defined in the Listing Rules is more than 5%, it is therefore subject to reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

– 35 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board considers that the Company will benefit from the entering into of the Underwriting Agreement and the payment of the Underwriting Commission given LIL has agreed to underwrite the Underwritten Shares, which is not a small volume, and the underwriting commission rate (i.e. 2.0% of the aggregate Subscription Price in respect of the Underwritten Shares) is relatively lower than the other Independent Third Parties.

In respect of the entering into of the Underwriting Agreement, given LIL is a connected person of the Company, Mr. Yang Zhihui, who is the sole shareholder of LIL and an executive Director of the Company, and Ms. Xu Ning, who is spouse of Mr. Yang Zhihui and an executive Director of the Company, have abstained from voting for the board resolution approving the Underwriting Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

In respect of the payment of the Underwriting Commission by the Company to LIL, given LIL is a connected person of the Company, LIL (which holds 6,056,099,340 Shares of the Company, representing approximately 32.39% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date) and its associates are required to abstain from voting approving the relevant resolution in the SGM.

In respect of the payment of the Underwriting Commission by the Company to LIL, Mr. Yang Zhihui and Ms. Xu Ning are required to abstain from voting the relevant board resolution.

FUTURE INTENTIONS

The Concert Party Group is optimistic about the future businesses of the Group. Following the grant and approval of the Whitewash Waiver and completion of the Rights Issue, LIL will continue to be a controlling shareholder of the Company under the Listing Rules. LIL intends to continue the existing businesses of the Group without any major changes after the Rights Issue.

INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The Company, through its subsidiaries, is principally engaged in the Lighting Business; Property Development; the Integrated Resort Development and the Casino Business. The consolidated financial information of the Company for the three financial years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 are summarised as follows:

==> picture [169 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

Room 1209, 12/F. Nan Fung Tower 88 Connaught Road Central/ 173 Des Voeux Road Central Hong Kong

29 May 2015

  • To: The independent board committee and the independent shareholders of Landing International Development Limited

Dear Sirs,

(1) PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE ON THE BASIS OF TEN RIGHTS SHARES FOR EVERY ONE CONSOLIDATED SHARE HELD ON THE RECORD DATE;

(2) APPLICATION FOR WHITEWASH WAIVER; AND (3) CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO PAYMENT OF UNDERWRITING COMMISSION

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Rights Issue, the Connected Transaction and the Whitewash Waiver, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the ‘‘Board Letter’’) contained in the circular dated 29 May 2015 issued by the Company to the Shareholders (the ‘‘Circular’’), of which this letter forms part. Terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context requires otherwise.

It was announced on 22 April 2015 that, amongst others, the Company proposed to (i) conduct the Share Consolidation; (ii) increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$500,000,000 to HK$10,000,000,000 by the creation of 95,000,000,000 new Consolidated Shares of HK$0.10 each; and (iii) subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, implement the Rights Issue on the basis of ten Rights Shares for every one Consolidated Share held on the Record Date at the Subscription Price of HK$0.35 per Rights Share. The Company will raise proceeds of approximately HK$6,544 million before expenses (assuming that there is no change in the number of issued Shares on or before the Record Date) by way of the issue of 18,696,253,870 Rights Shares.

– 40 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

According to the Board Letter, since the Rights Issue will increase the issued share capital of the Company by more than 50%, the Rights Issue is subject to approval of the Shareholders at the SGM by way of poll. In addition, given that LIL is a connected person of the Company, the entering into of the Underwriting Agreement by the Company and payment of the underwriting commission by the Company to LIL constitute connected transactions for the Company under the Listing Rules. As the total amount of underwriting commission payable by the Company is more than 5% of the applicable ratios under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, payment of the underwriting commission to LIL pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement will be subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

According also to the Board Letter, the underwriting by LIL of the Underwritten Shares under the Rights Issue will trigger an obligation of the Concert Party Group to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code for all the securities of the Company not already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Concert Party Group, unless a waiver is granted by the Executive. An application has been made by LIL for the Whitewash Waiver to the Executive pursuant to Note 1 on dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code, to waive the obligations of the Concert Party Group to make such a mandatory general offer. Pursuant to the Takeovers Code, the Whitewash Waiver will be conditional on, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM by way of poll in accordance with the requirements of the Takeovers Code.

The Independent Board Committee comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Fok Ho Yin, Thomas, Mr. Chen Lei and Ms. Zhang Xiaolan, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders on (i) whether the terms of the Rights Issue and the Underwriting Agreement (including the Connected Transaction) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; (ii) whether the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and is conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group; (iii) whether the Whitewash Waiver is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; and (iv) how the Independent Shareholders should vote in respect of the resolutions to approve the Rights Issue, the Connected Transaction and the Whitewash Waiver at the SGM. We, Gram Capital Limited, have been appointed as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this respect.

We have not, however, conducted any independent in-depth investigation into the business and affairs of the Company, the Concert Party Group, or their respective subsidiaries or associates, nor have we considered the taxation implication on the Group or the Shareholders as a result of the Rights Issue and/or the Connected Transaction.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the Rights Issue, the Connected Transaction and the Whitewash Waiver, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

(I) THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND THE CONNECTED TRANSACTION

  1. Background of and reasons for the Rights Issue

Business and financial overview of the Group

The Company is principally engaged in the design, manufacturing and sales of light-emitting diode (‘‘LED’’), property development, development and operation of integrated resort, and casino business.

Set out below are the audited consolidated financial results of the Group for the two years ended 31 December 2014 as extracted from the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2014 (the ‘‘Annual Report’’):

For the For the

Loss for the year (342,656) (142,197) 140.97

Note: The Group did not have the segments of integrated resort development and casino business for the year ended 31 December 2013.

As illustrated by the above table, the Group recorded an increase in revenue for the year ended 31 December 2014 (‘‘FY2014’’) as compared to the year ended 31 December 2013 (‘‘FY2013’’). Nevertheless, the gross profit of the Group decreased

– 43 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

and the net loss of the Group increased for FY2014 as compared to FY2013. According to the Annual Report, the increase in loss was mainly attributable to (i) administrative expenses in connection with the newly acquired casino business; (ii) pre-construction administrative expenses for the integrated resort development; (iii) increase in other operating and administrative expenses due to the Group’s expansion; and (iv) an impairment of goodwill recognised during FY2014.

With reference to the Annual Report, despite the expansion in revenue, the performance of the lighting business and its transaction volume in FY2014 did not have any notable improvement as compared to FY2013. The gross profit margin of the lighting business also decreased in FY2014 as compared to FY2013. The LED products are facing price pressure as the lighting business has been continuously and adversely affected by keen competition within the industry.

On 7 June 2013, in order to diversify the income source for its continuous development, the Group completed the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Double Earn Holdings Limited (‘‘Double Earn’’) at a consideration of HK$550 million. Double Earn, through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, namely, the Yueyang Company, is principally engaged in the development and operation of a parcel of land situated on the western shore of 南湖 (Nanhu Lake*), Yueyang, Hunan Province, the PRC, which is under development into high-end residential buildings with club houses and parking lots. The construction work was commenced in July 2013 and the first stage of pre-sale has begun in January 2014.

In respect of the integrated resort development, on 14 August 2013, the Company and JDC entered into a memorandum of agreement with respect to the intended investment on the Land for the development, management and operation of the Jeju Project. On 7 February 2014, the Company joined force with Genting Singapore Group by entering into a shareholders agreement among the Company, Landing Jeju and HBL, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Genting Singapore, to form a strategic partnership to develop, manage and operate the Jeju Project. With reference to the Annual Report and as advised by the Directors, the Jeju Project is expected to be one of South Korea’s largest integrated resorts, spanning across a land area of approximately 2.5 million square metres. Slated to open progressively from 2017, under the current development plan, the Jeju Project will house Jeju’s largest family theme park offering more than 20 rides and attractions in seven different zones under the themes of myths and legends from all over the world, Jeju’s largest adventure waterpark and one of South Korea’s most exciting themed retail and food complexes. Its premium hotels will have more than 2,000 rooms, boasting luxury villas, Jeju’s first 6-star hotel and a destination spa. The hotels will be equipped with full meeting and conference facilities that are suitable for hosting regional and international meetings, conventions and events. In addition, the hotels will provide cultural facilities, leisure and entertainment amenities, as well as around 1,500 luxury serviced apartments and residential villas. The entire development is expected to be completed by 2019.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

As further advised by the Directors, the operation of the casino at Hyatt Regency Jeju Hotel (the ‘‘Jeju Casino’’) through Magical Gains (a former direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in the BVI, which is now a joint venture of the Company with 50% interest being held by the Company) represents the casino business of the Group. As extracted from the Annual Report, the segment revenue from the Group’s casino business was approximately HK$21,367,000 during FY2014. However, a segment loss of approximately HK$20,261,000 was recorded in FY2014 mainly due to the suspension of business during the renovation period of the Jeju Casino since October 2014. On 18 January 2015, the grand opening of the Jeju Casino was held to publicise and celebrate its reopening after the transfer of the 50% ownership of Magical Gains and the renovation. The Jeju Casino is now operated under the tradename of ‘‘Genting Jeju’’, and currently has 26 Baccarat tables, one Blackjack table, one Tai Sai table, one Roulette table and 16 slot machines.

Reasons for the Rights Issue and intended use of proceeds

As referred to in the Board Letter, the estimated gross proceeds from the Rights Issue will be not less than approximately HK$6,544 million before expenses and the estimated net proceeds from the Rights Issue will be approximately HK$6,446 million. Based on the Group’s future financing needs as explained above, the Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Rights Issue as to (i) not more than HK$4,460 million for the Jeju Project; (ii) approximately HK$244 million on property development of the Yueyang Residential Properties (for settling the construction costs to be due in or before March 2016, taking into account the cash and bank balance of the Yueyang Company and the funds expected to be available from pre-sale of the Yueyang Residential Properties during 2015); (iii) approximately HK$227 million for construction and establishment of a training centre in Jeju; (iv) approximately HK$1,111 million for repayment of debts of the Group; and (v) the remaining proceeds of not less than approximately HK$404 million for working capital of the Group (including the budgeted expenses for operating the Aircraft). In relation to the above, it is the Group’s current plan to fund the remaining construction costs of the Yueyang Residential Properties to be due in 2016 and thereafter by the pre-sale proceeds. However, the property market sentiment and performance and the financial market may change which may affect the market response to the pre-sale and the sale price of the Yueyang Residential Properties. If the result of the pre-sale is below expectation, further fund raising may be required to finance the outstanding construction costs of the Yueyang Residential Properties.

Details of the funding needs for the Jeju Project, the property development of the Yueyang Residential Properties, the construction and establishment of the training centre in Jeju and the repayment of debts of the Group are set out under the section headed ‘‘Reasons for the Rights Issue and use of proceeds’’ in the Board Letter. For our due diligence purpose, we have requested and obtained the breakdown of the funding needs for the Jeju Project, the property development of the Yueyang Residential Properties, the construction and establishment of the

– 45 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

training centre in Jeju and the repayment of debts of the Group. We have also discussed with the management of the Company for the purpose of understanding the aforesaid funding needs.

After discussion with the management of the Company regarding the aforesaid funding needs of the Group and the intended use of proceeds from the Rights Issue, we understand that the intended use of proceeds from the Rights Issue is in line with the Group’s development strategy. As such, we consider that the reasons for the Rights Issue are justifiable.

With reference to the Board Letter, as at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the Rights Issue, the Company had not identified any other concrete fund raising plan with any financial institutions and had not contemplated any further fund raising exercise in the next 12 months. The proceeds from the Rights Issue may not satisfy the upcoming financing needs in full if there is any change of the Group’s current circumstances and business plans or if there shall arise any other potential investment opportunities. Hence, the Board does not rule out the possibility that the Company will conduct further debt and/or equity fund raising exercises when suitable fund raising opportunities arise in order to support the future development of the Group. As further confirmed by the Directors, the Company will comply with the relevant Listing Rules’ requirements (including but not limited to shareholders’ approval requirement, if applicable) should the Company conduct further fund raising exercises in the future. Accordingly, we consider that the Shareholders’ interest can be protected in this regard.

Other financing alternatives available to the Group

With reference to the Board Letter, the Board has considered and discussed with financial institutions regarding various fund raising methods available to the Group. Among different fund raising methods, the Directors have focused on evaluating the possibilities of carrying out fund raising through rights issue and open offer as they are relatively larger in scale as compared to placing of the Consolidated Shares under a general mandate. In respect of debt financing, the Board would not consider debt financing at this stage as the expected finance costs for such large sum of fund are high and the gearing position of the Group will be deteriorated due to additional borrowings. In comparison, the Rights Issue is pre-emptive in nature, allowing Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholdings through their participation in the Rights Issue. The Rights Issue allows the Qualifying Shareholders who participate to (a) increase their interests in the shareholding of the Company by (i) acquiring additional rights entitlement in the open market (subject to availability); and/or (ii) applying through excess applications for Rights Shares or (b) decrease their interests in the shareholding of the Company by disposing of their rights entitlements in the open market (subject to availability). As an open offer does not allow the trading of rights entitlements, the Rights Issue is preferred.

– 46 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Having taken into account the possible benefits of the Rights Issue as compared with other financing alternatives, we concur with the Directors that the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole although it is not conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group.

2. Principal terms of the Rights Issue

The following table summarises the major terms of the Rights Issue:

Basis of the Rights Issue: ten Rights Shares for every one Consolidated Share held on the Record Date Number of Existing Shares 18,696,253,872 Existing Shares (or 1,869,625,387 in issue as at the Latest Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation Practicable Date: becoming effective) Number of Rights Shares: 18,696,253,870 Rights Shares (assuming no change in the number of issued Shares on or before the Record Date)

Subscription Price: HK$0.35 per Rights Share with nominal value of HK$0.10 each

The Subscription Price represents:

  • (a) a discount of approximately 77.85% to the adjusted closing price of HK$1.58 per Consolidated Share, based on the closing price of HK$0.158 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation;

  • (b) a discount of approximately 75.86% to the adjusted closing price of HK$1.45 per Consolidated Share, based on the closing price of HK$0.145 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation;

  • (c) a discount of approximately 73.84% to the adjusted average closing price of HK$1.338 per Consolidated Share, based on the average closing price of HK$0.1338 per Existing Share for the five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation;

  • (d) a discount of approximately 24.24% to the adjusted theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.462 per Consolidated Share, based on the closing price of HK$0.158 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation; and

– 47 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

  • (e) a discount of approximately 22.22% to the adjusted theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.45 per Consolidated Share, based on the closing price of HK$0.145 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation.

As confirmed by the Directors, the Subscription Price was determined after arm’s length negotiations among the Company and the Underwriters having regard to (a) the market price of the Existing Shares prior to the Last Trading Day; (b) the loss making position of the Group in the past two financial years; and (c) the prevailing market conditions of the capital market in Hong Kong. The Directors consider the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price which has been set as a discount to the recent closing prices of the Existing Shares with an objective to encourage existing Shareholders to take up their entitlements so as to participate in the potential growth of the Company, to be fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. Analysis on the Subscription Price

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we set out the following informative analysis for illustrative purpose:

Comparison with other rights issue exercises

We have searched for rights issue exercises which were announced from 1 February 2015 up to the Latest Practicable Date (being the approximate four-month period prior to and including the Latest Practicable Date) by companies listed on the Stock Exchange so as to reflect the general trend of rights issue exercises in the market. To the best of our knowledge and as far as we are aware of, there were 18 such rights issue exercises (the ‘‘Comparables’’). Shareholders should note that the businesses, operations and prospects of the Company are not the same as the Comparables. We have not conducted any independent investigation with regard to the businesses and operations of the Comparables which shall not affect our analysis as we are comparing the general trend of rights issue exercises in the market with the Rights Issue.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Source: the relevant announcements posted on the Stock Exchange web-site (www.hkex.com.hk) Notes:

  1. In accordance with the supplementary guidance on Rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules dated 5 September 2005 and the note immediately after the rule, TERP should be calculated based on the below formula:

(Theoretical Ex-entitlementTEEP Price) = CUM1++(MM x R)

CUM = Closing price as shown in the daily quotation sheet of the Stock Exchange on the last day of trading before going ex-entitlement

M = Entitlement per existing share

R = Subscription price

The TERPs as shown in the above table are based on information contained in the respective announcements of the Comparables and we have not examined the accuracy of their calculation.

Shareholders should also note that the discounts as represented by the subscription prices of the Comparables to the TERPs were affected by various factors including but not limited to the closing prices of the respective shares, basis of allotment and subscription prices of the respective rights issue exercises. Accordingly, such information is contained herein for reference only.

  1. The underwriter was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the issuer.

  2. The rights issue was conducted on a non-underwritten basis.

  3. Nil to the connected underwriter and 3% to the independent third party underwriter.

  4. The effect of bonus issue associated with the rights issue has been taken into account.

As shown by the above table, the subscription prices of all Comparables represented discounts to the respective closing prices of their shares on the last trading day prior to/on the date of the respective rights issue announcements. The discounts as represented by the subscription prices of the Comparables to the respective closing prices of their shares on the last trading day prior to/on the date of the respective rights issue announcements ranged from approximately 4.11% to 85.56% (the ‘‘LTD Market Range’’) with a median and mean of approximately 38.52% and 45.56% respectively (the ‘‘LTD Market Median/Mean’’). The discount of approximately 75.86% to the adjusted closing price per Consolidated Share on the Last Trading Day as represented by the Subscription Price (the ‘‘LTD Discount’’) hence falls within the LTD Market Range and is deeper than the LTD Market Median/Mean.

Conclusion

In view of that (i) all Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares in the same proportion to their existing shareholdings in the Company held on the Record Date; (ii) the Subscription Price being set at discount to the

– 50 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

recent closing prices of the Existing Shares could encourage the existing Shareholders to take up their entitlements so as to participate in the potential growth of the Company; (iii) although the LTD Discount is deeper than the LTD Market Median/Mean, the LTD Discount is within the LTD Market Range; and (iv) the deep discount and a high ratio of Rights Shares will allow each Qualifying Shareholder to have greater flexibility in determining the extent of his/her/its participation in the Rights Issue that is most suitable for his/her/its own financial condition and/or investment strategy, we are of the opinion that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

4. Underwriting arrangement and the Connected Transaction

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, LIL has (in addition to his obligations under the Irrevocably Undertaking) conditionally agreed to underwrite 8,762,700,169 Rights Shares; whereas Kingston Securities has conditionally agreed to underwrite 3,877,454,361 Rights Shares. In accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, Kingston Securities will, at or before the Latest Time for Termination, notify the Company and LIL in writing for such number of untaken Rights Shares that LIL would need to subscribe for pursuant to its underwriting commitment under the Underwriting Agreement. Kingston Securities will subscribe for the remaining untaken Rights Shares not covered by LIL.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, 2.5% of the aggregate Subscription Price in respect of the maximum number of Underwritten Shares underwritten by Kingston Securities (the ‘‘Kingston Commission’’) is payable to Kingston Securities; while 2.0% of the aggregate Subscription Price in respect of the Underwritten Shares underwritten by LIL (the ‘‘LIL Commission’’) is payable to LIL. As aforementioned, payment of the underwriting commission by the Company to LIL constitutes a connected transaction for the Company.

From the table under the sub-section headed ‘‘Comparison with other rights issue exercises’’ of this letter, we noted that both of the Kingston Commission and the LIL Commission fall within (i) the range of commissions of nil to 3.5% received by underwriters in other rights issue exercises; and (ii) the range of commissions of nil to 3% received by underwriters in other rights issue exercises which involved connected person(s) as underwriter(s). Accordingly, we are of the opinion that the Kingston Commission and the LIL Commission are in line with market practice.

5. Application for excess Rights Shares

With reference to the Board Letter, Qualifying Shareholders may apply, by way of excess application, for any unsold entitlements of the Non-Qualifying Shareholders and for any Rights Shares provisionally allotted but not accepted. Applications for excess Rights Shares may be made by completing the EAFs for application for excess Rights Shares and lodging the same with a separate remittance for the excess Rights Shares being applied for. The Directors will allocate the excess Rights Shares at their discretion on a pro-rata basis in proportion to the number of excess Rights Shares being applied for under

– 51 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

each application. No reference will be made to the Rights Shares comprised in applications by PALs or the number of Consolidated Shares held by the Qualifying Shareholders. No preference will be given to topping up odd lots to whole board lots.

Taking into account the above principal terms of the Rights Issue and the Underwriting Agreement, we consider that the terms of the Rights Issue and the Underwriting Agreement (including the Connected Transaction) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

6. Possible dilution of the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders

All Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares. For those Qualifying Shareholders who take up their entitlements in full under the Rights Issue, their shareholding interests in the Company will remain unchanged after the Rights Issue.

As in all other cases of rights issues and open offers, dilution on the shareholdings of those Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up in full their assured entitlements under the Rights Issue is inevitable. Nonetheless, Qualifying Shareholders who do not accept the Rights Issue can, subject to the then prevailing market conditions, consider selling their nil-paid rights to subscribe for the Rights Shares in the market. In such case, where all Qualifying Shareholders do not accept the Rights Issue and hence the Underwriters are obligated to take up the unsubscribed Rights Shares, the shareholding interests of the Qualifying Shareholders in the Company will be diluted by a maximum of approximately 61.46 percent point. Details of such dilution effect are presented in the table under the section headed ‘‘Shareholding structure of the Company’’ in the Board Letter.

We are aware of the potential dilution effects as just mentioned. Nonetheless, we consider that the foregoing should be balanced against by the following factors:

  • . Independent Shareholders are given the chances to express their views on the terms of the Rights Issue and the Underwriting Agreement through their votes at the SGM;

  • . Qualifying Shareholders have their choices of whether to accept the Rights Issue or not;

  • . Qualifying Shareholders have the opportunity to realise their nil-paid rights to subscribe for the Rights Shares in the market;

  • . the Rights Issue offers the Qualifying Shareholders a chance to subscribe for their pro-rata Rights Shares for the purpose of maintaining their respective existing shareholding interests in the Company at a relatively low price as compared to the historical and prevailing market prices of the Existing Shares; and

  • . those Qualifying Shareholders who choose to accept the Rights Issue in full can maintain their respective existing shareholding interests in the Company after the Rights Issue.

– 52 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

In light of the above, we concur with the Directors that the potential dilution to the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders in the Company, which may only happen when the Qualifying Shareholders do not subscribe for their pro-rata Rights Shares, is acceptable.

7. Possible financial effects of the Rights Issue

Effect on net tangible assets

An unaudited pro forma statement of adjusted consolidated net tangible asset value (‘‘NTAV’’) of the Group as if the Rights Issue had taken place on 31 December 2014 is set out in Appendix II to the Circular (the ‘‘Statement’’).

Based on the Statement, the audited consolidated NTAV of the Group was approximately HK$3,837,821,000 and approximately HK$0.21 per Share prior to the Share Consolidation and the Rights Issue as at 31 December 2014. Upon implementation of the Share Consolidation and completion of the Rights Issue, the unaudited pro forma consolidated NTAV of the Group would become approximately HK$10,283,823,000 and approximately HK$0.50 per Consolidated Share based on the Statement.

Effect on working capital

As advised by the Directors, as part of the net proceeds from the Rights Issue will be used as working capital of the Group, the working capital position of the Group would be improved upon completion of the Rights Issue.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analyses are for illustrative purpose only and do not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon completion of the Rights Issue.

RECOMMENDATION ON THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND THE CONNECTED TRANSACTION

Having taken into consideration the factors and reasons as stated above, we are of the opinion that (i) the terms of the Rights Issue and the Underwriting Agreement (including the Connected Transaction) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and (ii) the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole although it is not conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Rights Issue and the Underwriting Agreement (including the Connected Transaction) and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) in this regard.

– 53 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

(II) THE WHITEWASH WAIVER

According to the Board Letter, the underwriting by LIL of the Underwritten Shares under Rights Issue will trigger an obligation of the Concert Party Group to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code for all the securities of the Company not already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Concert Party Group, unless a waiver is granted by the Executive.

In this regard, application has been made by LIL for the Whitewash Waiver to the Executive pursuant to Note 1 on dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code, to waive the obligations of the Concert Party Group to make such a mandatory general offer. Pursuant to the Takeovers Code, the Whitewash Waiver will be conditional on, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM by way of poll in accordance with the requirements of the Takeovers Code. If the Whitewash Waiver is not granted by the Executive or if the conditions (if any) imposed thereon are not fulfilled, the Rights Issue will not proceed.

If the Whitewash Waiver is approved by the Independent Shareholders, the shareholding of the Concert Party Group will exceed 50%. The Concert Party Group may further increase its shareholdings in the Company without incurring any further obligations under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code to make a general offer.

In light of (i) the reasons for the Rights Issue and the intended use of the net proceeds therefrom; and (ii) the terms of the Rights Issue and the Underwriting Agreement being fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, we are of the opinion that the approval for the Whitewash Waiver, which is a condition for completion of the Rights Issue, is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and is fair and reasonable for the purpose of proceeding with the Rights Issue.

RECOMMENDATION ON THE WHITEWASH WAIVER

Having taken into consideration the reasons for and possible benefits of the Rights Issue and that the Rights Issue is conditional upon the grant of the Whitewash Waiver, we consider that the Whitewash Waiver is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Whitewash Waiver and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution in this regard.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Gram Capital Limited Doris Sing Director

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Notes:

  • (a) Contributed surplus of the Group was arisen from the Company’s capital reorganisation on 19 April 2013.

  • (b) The non-distributable reserve of the Group mainly represents statutory reserve requirement that the foreign investment enterprises appropriated 10% of the profit after taxation of the subsidiaries of the Company registered in the People’s Republic of China (the ‘‘PRC’’) other than Hong Kong to the nondistributable reserve under the PRC laws and regulations until the transferred amount equals to 50% of the registered capital of these PRC subsidiaries.

  • (c) The other reserve in an amount of approximately HK$7,253,000 recognised during the year, represents the difference between the fair value of the consideration received from share subscription of Landing Jeju Development Co., Ltd. and the carrying amount of the net assets attributable to the partial disposal of 50% of its equity interest.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

Landing International Development Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) is a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and continued in Bermuda, and its shares of which are listed on The Main Board of Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. The registered office of the Company is located at Suites 5801–04, 58th Floor, Two International Finance Centre, No. 8 Finance Street, Central, Hong Kong.

During the year, the Company and its subsidiaries (together, the ‘‘Group’’) was principally engaged in design, manufacturing and sales of the light-emitting diode (‘‘LED’’) (the ‘‘Lighting Business’’); property development (the ‘‘Property Development’’); development and operation of the integrated resort (the ‘‘Integrated Resort Development’’); and casino business carried under a casino license (the ‘‘Casino Business’’).

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the preparation of the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, the directors of the Company have given careful consideration to the future liquidity of the Group in light of (i) the Group incurred a loss attributable to equity holders of the Company of approximately HK$293,677,000 for the year ended 31 December 2014; and (ii) as at 31 December 2014, the Group has capital commitments of approximately HK$655,887,000, interest-bearing bank and other borrowings of approximately HK$89,676,000, amount due to a non-controlling interest of approximately HK$598,826,000 and finance lease payables of approximately HK$297,671,000. Based on the cash flow projections prepared by the management with reference to the current business and financing plans of the Group, the directors consider the Group will be able to finance its future working capital and fulfill its financial obligations as and when they fall due in the foreseeable future.

Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.

3.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’) (which include all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the ‘‘HKICPA’’) and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. These financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance relating to the preparation of financial statements, which for this financial year and the comparative period continue to be those of the predecessor Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32), in accordance with transitional and saving arrangements for Part 9 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), ‘‘Accounts and Audit’’, which are set out in sections 76 to 87 of Schedule 11 to that Ordinance. These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain of financial instruments, which have been measured at fair value. These financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars (‘‘HK$’’) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2014. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the equity holders of the Company and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

– I-11 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control described in the accounting policy for subsidiaries below. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises (i) the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, (ii) the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest and (iii) the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity; and recognises (i) the fair value of the consideration received, (ii) the fair value of any investment retained and (iii) any resulting surplus or deficit in profit or loss. The Group’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss or retained profits, as appropriate, on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

3.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES

The Group has adopted the following revised standards and a new interpretation for the first time for the current year’s financial statements.

Amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 12 Investment Entities
and HKAS 27 (2011)
Amendments to HKAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Amendments to HKAS 39 Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge
Accounting
HK(IFRIC)-Int 21 Levies
Amendment to HKFRS 2 included in Definition of Vesting Condition1
Annual Improvements 2010–2012 Cycle
Amendment to HKFRS 3 included in Accounting for Contingent Consideration in a Business
Annual Improvements 2010–2012 Cycle Combination1
Amendment to HKFRS 13 included in Short-term Receivables and Payables
Annual Improvements 2010–2012 Cycle
Amendment to HKFRS 1 included in Meaning of Effective HKFRSs
Annual improvements 2011–2013 Cycle
  • 1 Effective from 1 July 2014

Except for the amendment to HKFRS 1 which is only relevant to an entity’s first HKFRS financial statements, the nature and the impact of each amendment and interpretation is described below:

  • (a) Amendments to HKFRS 10 include a definition of an investment entity and provide an exception to the consolidation requirement for entities that meet the definition of an investment entity. Investment entities are required to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss rather than consolidated them. Consequential amendments were made to HKFRS 12 and HKAS 27 (2011). The amendments to HKFRS 12 also set out the disclosure requirements for investment entities. The amendments have had no impact on the Group as the Company does not qualify as an investment entity as defined in HKFRS 10.

  • (b) The HKAS 32 Amendments clarify the meaning of ‘‘currently has a legally enforceable right to set off’’ for offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. The amendments also clarify the application of the offsetting criteria in HKAS 32 to settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous. The amendments have had no impact on the Group as the Group does not have any offsetting arrangement.

  • (c) The HKAS 39 Amendments provide an exception to the requirement of discontinuing hedge accounting in situations where over-the-counter derivatives designated in hedging relationships are directly or indirectly, novated to a central counterparty as a consequence of laws or regulations, or the introduction of laws or regulations. For continuance of hedge accounting under this exception, all of the following criteria must be met: (i) the novations must arise as a consequence of laws or regulations, or the introduction of laws or regulations; (ii) the parties to

– I-12 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

the hedging instrument agree that one or more clearing counterparties replace their original counterparty to become the new counterparty to each of the parties; and (iii) the novations do not result in changes to the terms of the original derivative other than changes directly attributable to the change in counterparty to achieve clearing. The amendments have had no impact on the Group as the Group has not novated any derivatives during the current and prior years.

  • (d) HK(IFRIC)-Int 21 clarifies that an entity recognises a liability for a levy when the activity that triggers payment, as identified by the relevant legislation, occurs. The interpretation also clarifies that a levy liability is accrued progressively only if the activity that triggers payment occurs over a period of time, in accordance with the relevant legislation. For a levy that is triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarifies that no liability should be recognised before the specified minimum threshold is reached. The interpretation has had no impact on the Group as the Group applied, in prior years, the recognition principles under HKAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets which for the levies incurred by the Group are consistent with the requirements of HK(IFRIC)-Int 21.

  • (e) The HKFRS 2 Amendment clarifies various issues relating to the definitions of performance and service conditions which are vesting conditions, including (i) a performance condition must contain a service condition, (ii) a performance target must be met while the counterparty is rendering service; (iii) a performance target may relate to the operations or activities of an entity, or to those of another entity in the same group; (iv) a performance condition may be a market or non-market condition; and (v) if the counterparty, regardless of the reason, ceases to provide service during the vesting period, the service condition is not satisfied. The amendment has had no impact on the Group.

  • (f) The HKFRS 3 Amendment clarifies that contingent consideration arrangements arising from a business combination that are not classified as equity should be subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss whether or not they fall within the scope of HKFRS 9 or HKAS 39. The amendment has had no impact on the Group.

  • (g) The HKFRS 13 Amendment clarifies that short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rates can be measured at invoice amounts when the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amendment has had no impact on the Group.

3.3 NEW AND REVISED HKFRSS AND NEW DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE HONG KONG COMPANIES ORDINANCE NOT YET ADOPTED

The Group has not applied the following new and revised HKFRSs, that have been issued but are not yet effective, in these financial statements.

Amendments to HKAS 1 Disclosure Initiative[2] HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments[4] Amendments to HKFRS 10 and Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its HKAS 28 (2011) Associate or Joint Venture[2] Amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 12 Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation and HKAS 28 (2011) Exception[2] Amendments to HKFRS 11 Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations[2] HKFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts[5] HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers[3] Amendments to HKAS 16 and HKAS 38 Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation[2] Amendments to HKAS 16 and HKAS 41 Agriculture: Bearer Plants[2] Amendments to HKAS 19 Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions[1] Amendments to HKAS 27 (2011) Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements[2] Annual Improvements 2010–2012 Cycle Amendments to a number of HKFRSs[1] Annual Improvements 2011–2013 Cycle Amendments to a number of HKFRSs[1] Annual Improvements 2012–2014 Cycle Amendments to a number of HKFRSs[2]

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

  • 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014

  • 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017

  • 4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018

  • 5 Effective for an entity that first adopts HKFRSs for its annual financial statements beginning on or after 1 January 2016 and therefore is not applicable to the Group

In addition, the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) will affect the presentation and disclosure of certain information in the consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2015. The Group is in the process of making an assessment of the impact of these changes.

Further information about those HKFRSs that are expected to be applicable to the Group is as follows:

The amendments to HKAS 1 are designed to further encourage companies to apply professional judgement in determining what information to disclose in their financial statements. For example, the amendments make clear that materiality applies to the whole of financial statements and that the inclusion of immaterial information can inhibit the usefulness of financial disclosures. Furthermore, the amendments clarify that companies should use professional judgement in determining where and in what order information is presented in the financial disclosures.

In September 2014, the HKICPA issued the final version of HKFRS 9, bringing together all phases of the financial instruments project to replace HKAS 39 and all previous versions of HKFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. The Group expects to adopt HKFRS 9 from 1 January 2018. The Group expects that the adoption of HKFRS 9 will have an impact on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets. Further information about the impact will be available nearer the implementation date of the standard.

The amendments to HKFRS 10 and HKAS 28 (2011) address an inconsistency between the requirements in HKFRS 10 and in HKAS 28 (2011) in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The amendments require a full recognition of a gain or loss when the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture constitutes a business. For a transaction involving assets that do not constitute a business, a gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognised in the investor’s profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investor’s interest in that associate or joint venture. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. The Group expects to adopt the amendments from 1 January 2016.

The narrow-scope amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 12 and HKAS 28 (2011) introduce clarifications to the requirements when accounting for investment entities. The amendments also provide relief in particular circumstances, which will reduce the costs of applying the standards.

The amendments to HKFRS 11 require that an acquirer of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business must apply the relevant principles for business combinations in HKFRS 3. The amendments also clarify that a previously held interest in a joint operation is not remeasured on the acquisition of an additional interest in the same joint operation while joint control is retained. In addition, a scope exclusion has been added to HKFRS 11 to specify that the amendments do not apply when the parties sharing joint control, including the reporting entity, are under common control of the same ultimate controlling party. The amendments apply to both the acquisition of the initial interest in a joint operation and the acquisition of any additional interests in the same joint operation. The amendments are not expected to have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group upon adoption on 1 January 2016.

HKFRS 15 establishes a new five-step model that will apply to revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under HKFRS 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in HKFRS 15 provide a more structured approach for measuring and recognising revenue. The standard also introduces extensive qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements, including disaggregation of total revenue, information about performance obligations, changes in contract asset and liability account balances

– I-14 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

between periods and key judgements and estimates. The standard will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under HKFRSs. The Group expects to adopt HKFRS 15 on 1 January 2017 and is currently assessing the impact of HKFRS 15 upon adoption.

Amendments to HKAS 16 and HKAS 38 clarify the principle in HKAS 16 and HKAS 38 that revenue reflects a pattern of economic benefits that are generated from operating business (of which the asset is part) rather than the economic benefits that are consumed through the use of the asset. As a result, a revenue-based method cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and may only be used in very limited circumstances to amortise intangible assets. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. The amendments are not expected to have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group upon adoption on 1 January 2016 as the Group has not used a revenue-based method for the calculation of depreciation of its noncurrent assets.

The Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle issued in January 2014 sets out amendments to a number of HKFRSs. Except for those described in note 3.2, the Group expects to adopt the amendments from 1 January 2015. None of the amendments are expected to have a significant financial impact on the Group. Details of the amendment most applicable to the Group are as follows:

HKFRS 8 Operating Segments: Clarifies that an entity must disclose the judgements made by management in applying the aggregation criteria in HKFRS 8, including a brief description of operating segments that have been aggregated and the economic characteristics used to assess whether the segments are similar. The amendments also clarify that a reconciliation of segment assets to total assets is only required to be disclosed if the reconciliation is reported to the chief operating decision maker.

HKAS 24 Related Party Disclosures: Clarifies that a management entity (i.e., an entity that provides key management personnel services) is a related party subject to related party disclosure requirements. In addition, an entity that uses a management entity is required to disclose the expenses incurred for management services.

The Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2011–2013 Cycle issued in January 2014 sets out amendments to a number of HKFRSs. The Group expects to adopt the amendments from 1 January 2015. None of the amendments are expected to have a significant financial impact on the Group. Details of the amendments are as follows:

HKFRS 3 Business Combinations: Clarifies that joint arrangements but not joint ventures are outside the scope of HKFRS 3 and the scope exception applies only to the accounting in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself. The amendment is to be applied prospectively.

HKFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement: Clarifies that the portfolio exception in HKFRS 13 can be applied not only to financial assets and financial liabilities, but also to other contracts within the scope of HKFRS 9 or HKAS 39 as applicable. The amendment is to be applied prospectively from the beginning of the annual period in which HKFRS 13 was initially applied.

The Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2012–2014 Cycle issued in October 2014 sets out amendments to a number of HKFRSs. The Group expects to adopt the amendments from 1 January 2016. None of the amendments are expected to have a significant financial impact on the Group. Details of the amendments are as follows:

HKAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting: Clarifies that the required interim disclosures must either be in the interim financial statements or incorporated by cross reference between the interim financial statements and wherever they are included within the interim financial report. The amendments also specify that the information within the interim financial report must be available to users on the same terms as the interim financial statements and at the same time.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

3.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).

When the Company has, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

  • (a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;

  • (b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

  • (c) the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The results of subsidiaries are included in the Company’s statement of profit or loss to the extent of dividends received and receivable. The Company’s investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less any impairment losses.

Investments in Associate and Joint Ventures

An associate is an entity in which the Group has a long term interest of generally not less than 20% of the equity voting rights and over which it is in a position to exercise significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.

A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The Group’s investments in associate and joint ventures are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at the Group’s share of net assets under the equity method of accounting, less any impairment losses.

Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.

The Group’s share of the post-acquisition results and other comprehensive income of associate and joint ventures is included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and consolidated other comprehensive income, respectively. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate or joint venture, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its associate or joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s investments in the associate or joint ventures, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Goodwill arising from the acquisition of associate or joint ventures is included as part of the Group’s investments in associate or joint ventures.

The results of associate and joint ventures are included in the Company’s statement of profit or loss to the extent of dividends received and receivable. The Company’s investments in associate and joint ventures are treated as non-current assets and are stated at cost less any impairment losses.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Business Combinations and Goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred is measured at the acquisition date fair value which is the sum of the acquisition date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities assumed by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of net assets in the event of liquidation at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of HKAS 39 is measured at fair value with changes in fair value either recognised in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of HKAS 39, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate HKFRS. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount recognised for non-controlling interests and any fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interests in the acquiree over the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the sum of this consideration and other items is lower than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is, after reassessment, recognised in profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 December. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on the disposal. Goodwill disposed of in these circumstances is measured based on the relative value of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

APPENDIX I

Fair Value Measurement

The Group measures its derivative financial instruments at fair value at the end of each reporting period. 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 on the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 — based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 — based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly Level 3 — based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than inventories, properties under development, financial assets and goodwill), the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. 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. An impairment loss is charged to the statement of profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine

– I-18 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation/amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an impairment loss is credited to the statement of profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

Related Parties

A party is considered to be related to the Group if:

  • (a) the party is a person or a close member of that person’s family and that person

  • (i) has control or joint control over the Group;

  • (ii) has significant influence over the Group; or

  • (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or of a parent of the Group;

or

  • (b) the party is an entity where any of the following conditions applies:

  • (i) the entity and the Group are members of the same group;

  • (ii) one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or of a parent, subsidiary or fellow subsidiary of the other entity);

  • (iii) the entity and the Group are joint ventures of the same third party;

  • (iv) one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity;

  • (v) the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Group or an entity related to the Group;

  • (vi) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a); and

  • (vii) a person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.

Expenditure incurred after items of property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to the statement of profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where the recognition criteria are satisfied, the expenditure for a major inspection is capitalised in the carrying amount of the asset as a replacement. Where significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly.

– I-19 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of property, plant and equipment to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are as follows:

Freehold land Not depreciated Buildings Over the shorter of the lease terms or 50 years Leasehold improvements 4.5% to 20% Furnitures, fixtures and office equipment 18% to 20% Motor vehicles 10% to 25% Aircraft 5% Plant, machinery and equipment 4% to 18% Gaming equipment and accessories 20% Structure 33%

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of that item is allocated on a reasonable basis among the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Residual values, useful lives and the depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each financial year end.

An item of property, plant and equipment including any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset.

Construction in progress represents buildings or assets under construction which are stated at cost less any impairment losses, and are not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct costs of construction and capitalised borrowing costs on related borrowed funds during the period of construction. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use.

Intangible Assets (other than Goodwill)

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is the fair value on the date of acquisition. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are subsequently amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year end.

Patents and licences

Purchased patents and licences with finite lives are stated at cost less any impairment losses and are amortised on the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 8 to 18 years.

Leases

Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases.

Assets acquired through hire purchase contracts of a financing nature are accounted for as finance leases, but are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Where the Group is the lessee, rentals payable under operating leases net of any incentives received from the lessor are charged to the statement of profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

– I-20 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Prepaid land lease payments under operating leases are initially stated at cost and subsequently recognised on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Properties under Development

Properties under development are intended to be held for sale after completion.

Properties under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value and comprise land costs, construction costs, borrowing costs, professional fees and other costs directly attributable to such properties incurred during the development period.

Properties under development are classified as current assets unless the construction period of the relevant property development project is expected to complete beyond the normal operating cycle. On completion, the properties are transferred to completed properties held for sale.

Investments and Other Financial Assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as loans and receivables. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets, except in the case of financial assets recorded at fair value through profit or loss.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is, the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (‘‘FVTPL’’)

Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of sale in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments as defined by HKAS 39.

Financial assets at FVTPL are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with positive net changes in fair value presented as other income and gains and negative net changes in fair value presented as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss. These net fair value changes do not include any dividends or interest earned on these financial assets. Financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the date of initial recognition and only if the criteria in HKAS 39 are satisfied.

Derivatives embedded in host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Reassessment only occurs if there is either a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required or a reclassification of a financial asset out of the fair value through profit or loss category.

– I-21 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less any allowance for impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in other income and gains in the statement of profit or loss. The loss arising from impairment is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Derecognition of Financial Assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when:

  • . the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

  • . the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘‘pass-through’’ arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. An impairment exists if one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that a debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

Financial assets carried at amortised cost

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses whether impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

– I-22 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The amount of any impairment loss identified is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition).

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Loans and receivables together with any associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realised or has been transferred to the Group.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to other expenses in the statement of profit or loss.

Financial Liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVTPL, loans and borrowing, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, amounts due to the ultimate holding company, a related company and non-controlling interests, obligations under finance lease and interest-bearing bank and other borrowings.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by HKAS 39. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. The net fair value gain or loss recognised in the statement of profit or loss does not include any interest charged on these financial liabilities.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the date of initial recognition and only if the criteria in HKAS 39 are satisfied.

– I-23 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

Convertible bonds

The component of convertible bonds that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position, net of transaction costs. On issuance of convertible bonds, the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent nonconvertible bond; and this amount is carried as a long term liability on the amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in shareholders’ equity, net of transaction costs. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in subsequent years. Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the convertible bonds based on the allocation of proceeds to the liability and equity components when the instruments are first recognised.

Derecognition of Financial Liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Offsetting of Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the weighted average method and, in the case of work in progress and finished goods, comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling prices less any estimated costs to be incurred to completion and disposal.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired, less bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management.

– I-24 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

For the purpose of the statement of financial position, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at banks, including term deposits, and assets similar in nature to cash, which are not restricted as to use.

Provisions

A provision is recognised when a present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the effect of discounting is material, the amount recognised for a provision is the present value at the end of the reporting period of the future expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in the discounted present value amount arising from the passage of time is included in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

Income Tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • . when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • . in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associate and joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

  • . when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • . in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associate and joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

– I-25 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

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 profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Government Grants

Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the costs, which it is intended to compensate, are expensed.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following bases:

  • (a) from the sale of goods, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, provided that the Group maintains neither managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold;

  • (b) interest income, on an accrual basis using the effective interest method by applying the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, when appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset; and

  • (c) casino revenues are measured by the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses, with liabilities recognised for funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs and for chips in customers’ possession.

Share-based Payments

The Company operates a share option scheme for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Group’s operations. Employees (including directors) of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (‘‘equity-settled transactions’’).

The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees for grants is measured by reference to the fair value on the date at which they are granted.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at the end of each reporting period until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit to the statement of profit or loss for a period represents the movement in the cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

– I-26 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for equity-settled transactions where vesting is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payments, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. This includes any award where non-vesting conditions within the control of either the Group or the employee are not met. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and is designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

Other Employee Benefits

Pension scheme

The Group operates a defined contribution Mandatory Provident Fund retirement benefit scheme (the ‘‘MPF Scheme’’) under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for all of its employees. Contributions are made based on a percentage of the employees’ basic salaries and are charged to the statement of profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the MPF Scheme. The assets of the MPF Scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund. The Group’s employer contributions vest fully with the employees when contributed into the MPF Scheme.

The employees of the Group’s subsidiaries which operates in the PRC are required to participate in a central pension scheme operated by the local municipal government. These subsidiaries are required to contribute certain of its payroll costs to the central pension scheme. The contributions are charged to the statement of profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the central pension scheme.

The employees of the Group’s subsidiaries which operates in South Korea are required to participate in a defined contribution is a pension plan under which the South Korea subsidiaries pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when a employee has rendered service.

Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, i.e., 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. The capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when 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 capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

– I-27 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Foreign Currencies

These financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currency transactions recorded by the entities in the Group are initially recorded using their respective functional currency rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency rates of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates on the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates on the date when the fair value was measured. The gain or loss arising on translation of a non-monetary item measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation difference on the item whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).

The functional currencies of certain overseas subsidiaries are currencies other than the Hong Kong dollar. As at the end of the reporting period, the assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into the presentation currency of the Company at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period and their statements of profit or loss are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the weighted average exchange rates for the year.

The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the exchange fluctuation reserve. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.

The major judgements, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements and have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are set out below:

Recognition and Allocation of Construction Cost on Properties under Development

Development costs of properties are recorded as properties under development during the construction stage and will be transferred to completed properties held for sale upon completion. Apportionment of these costs will be recognised in the statement of profit or loss upon the recognition of the sale of the properties. Before the final settlement of the development costs and other costs relating to the sale of the properties, these costs are accrued by the Group based on management’s best estimate.

– I-28 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

When developing properties, the Group may divide the development projects into phases. Specific costs directly related to the development of a phase are recorded as the cost of such phase. Costs that are common to phases are allocated to individual phases based on the estimated saleable area of the entire project.

Where the final settlement of costs and the related cost allocation is different from the initial estimates, any increase or decrease in the development costs and other costs would affect the profit or loss in future years.

Impairment of Goodwill

The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value in use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating units and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets (other than Goodwill)

The Group assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for all non-financial assets at the end of each reporting period. Indefinite life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually and at other times when such an indicator exists. Other non-financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The calculation of the fair value less costs to sell of disposal is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm’s length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or cash-generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

Net Realisable Value of Inventories

The Group reviews the carrying amounts of the inventories at the end of each reporting period to determine whether the inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value in accordance with the accounting policy as set out in note 3.4. Management estimates the net realisable value based on current market situation and historical experience of manufacturing and selling products of similar nature. Any change in the assumptions would increase or decrease the amount of inventories write down or the related reversals of write down made in prior years and affect the Group’s net asset value.

Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables

The Group makes impairment of trade and other receivables based on an assessment of the recoverability of the receivables. This assessment is based on the credit history of the customers and other debtors and the current market condition. The directors of the Company reassess the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

5. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

For management purpose, the Group currently has four reportable operating segments that operate different business activities. They are managed separately and providing different products or services which require different marketing strategies.

The principal activities of each reportable segment are as follows:

  • (a) Lighting Business;

  • (b) Property Development;

– I-29 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

  • (c) Integrated Resort Development; and

(d) Casino Business

Management monitors the results of the Group’s operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment loss, which is a measure of adjusted loss before tax.

Impairment Testing of Goodwill

Goodwill acquired through business combinations is allocated to the lighting products CGU for the purpose of impairment testing.

The recoverable amount of the lighting products CGU has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections based on financial budgets covering a five-year period approved by senior management. The key assumptions used in the cash flow projections are as follows:

  • Average gross margins of 23% (2013: 28%) and average revenue growth rate of 10% (2013: 14%) to reflect the deterioration of the Lighting Business with reference to the average performance in the previous years and the expected returns within the relevant industry;

  • Discount rate of 10.46% (2013: 12.55%) is used with reference to the current market data for the relevant industry and comparable companies; and

  • Terminal growth rate of 3.20% (2013: 3.22%) is used with reference to Mainland China’s average inflation rate in the past five years.

38. SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Company operates a share option scheme (the ‘‘Scheme’’) for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Group’s operations.

Under the Scheme adopted 11 June 2010 (the ‘‘Share Option Scheme’’), the directors of the Company may grant options to eligible participants, including the Company’s directors, other employees of the Group, suppliers of goods or services to the Group, customers of the Group, and any non-controlling interests in the Company’s subsidiaries. The Share Option Scheme will, unless otherwise cancelled or amended, remain in force for 10 years from the date of adoption.

The maximum number of shares in respect of which options may be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme of the Company must not exceed 10% of the shares of the Company in issue at any time.

Share options granted to a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company, or to any of their associates, are subject to approval in advance by the independent non-executive directors of the Company.

In addition, any share options granted to a substantial shareholder or an independent non-executive director of the Company, or to any of their associates, in excess of 0.1% of the shares of the Company in issue at any time or with an aggregate value (based on the price of the Company’s shares at the date of grant) in excess of HK$5 million, within any 12-month period, are subject to shareholders’ approval in advance in a general meeting.

The offer of a grant of share options may be accepted within 21 days from the date of offer, upon payment of a nominal consideration of HK$1 in total by the grantee. The exercise period of the share options granted is determinable by the directors of the Company, and commences after a certain vesting period and ends on a date which is not later than 10 years from the date of offer of the share options.

The subscription price of the share options is determinable by the directors of the Company, but must be at least the higher of (i) the SEHK closing price of the Company’s shares on the date of offer of the share options which must be a business day; and (ii) the average SEHK closing price of the Company’s shares as stated in the SEHK’s daily quotations sheets for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of offer. At the end of the reporting period, the Company had no share options outstanding under the Scheme and no share options were granted to the eligible participants.

Share options do not confer rights on the holders to dividends or to vote at shareholders’ meetings.

On 15 December 2014, the Company granted share options (the ‘‘Options’’) under the share option scheme to certain eligible grantees (the ‘‘Grantees’’), which, subject to acceptance by the Grantees, would enable the Grantees to subscribe for an aggregate of 869,375,807 ordinary shares of the Company of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company at the exercise price of HK$0.225 per new share. The Options granted are exercisable commencing from 15 December 2014 to 14 December 2024 (both dates inclusive) (the ‘‘Option Period’’).

  • The exercise price of the Options is subject to adjustment in the case of rights or bonus issues, or other similar changes in the Company’s share capital.

The fair value of the Accepted Options during the year was approximately HK$3,974,000 (HK$0.06 each), of which the Group recognised a share option expense of approximately HK$3,974,000 during the year ended 31 December 2014.

The fair value of Accepted Options during the year was estimated as at the date of grant, using a binomial model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The following table lists the inputs to the model used:

15 December
2014
Dividend yield (%) 0.00
Expected volatility (%) 36.61
Risk-free interest rate (%) 1.70
Expected life of options (year) 10.00
Weight average share price (HK$ per share) 0.225

The expected life used in the model has been adjusted based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral considerations. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.

No other feature of Accepted Options was incorporated into the measurement of fair value.

Management has assessed the fair value of cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, interest-bearing bank and other borrowings, amounts due to the ultimate holding company and a related company approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments. The directors are responsible for determining the policies and procedures for the fair value measurement of financial instruments.

49. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

Capital Risk Management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged.

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt balance and equity balance. Debt balance consists of bank and other borrowings, loan from government and amounts due to the ultimate holding company and a related company. Equity balance consists of equity attributable to owners of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves.

The directors of the Company review the capital structure on an on-going annual basis. As part of this review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the directors, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues and share repurchase as well as the issue of new debt.

The Group’s major financial instruments include trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, trade and other payables, bank and other borrowings, loan from government and amounts due to the ultimate holding company and a related company.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group does not have any written risk management policies and guidelines. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below:

Interest rate risk

The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s interest-bearing bank borrowings with a floating interest rate. The Group policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debts. The directors do not expect there will be a significant interest rate adjustment in relation to the Group’s bank borrowings, hence no sensitivity analysis is prepared at the end of the reporting period.

Foreign current risk

Certain PRC subsidiaries of the Group’s sales and purchases that are denominated in United States dollars (‘‘US$’’), which expose the Group to foreign currency risk. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity at the end of the reporting period to a reasonably possible change in the US$ exchange rate, with all other variables held constant, the Group’s loss before tax and the Group’s equity.

Sensitivity analysis

The following table indicates the approximate change in the Group’s loss after tax (and accumulated losses) in response to reasonably possible changes in the foreign exchange rates to which the Group has significant exposure at the end of the reporting period.

2013
If the RMB weakens against the US$ (5) 1,697 (1,697)
If the RMB strengthens against the US$ 5 (1,697) 1,697

Credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk by the Group which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position.

In order to manage its credit risk, management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. Credit sales of products are only made to customers with good repayment history. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of individual debt on an ongoing basis to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts.

The credit risk on liquid funds of the Group is limited because the counterparties are banks with good reputation.

Integrated Resort Development

The Jeju Project is expected to be one of South Korea’s largest integrated resorts, spanning across a land area of approximately 2.5 million square metres.

Landing International Development Limited

Suites 5801–5804, 58/F., Two International Finance Centre, No. 8 Finance Street, Central, Hong Kong

Dear Sir/Madam,

Re: Various Properties in the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of Korea

In accordance with your instructions for us to value the properties held by Landing International Development Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) and/or its subsidiaries (together with the Company referred to as the ‘‘Group’’) in the People’s Republic of China (the ‘‘PRC’’) and the Republic of Korea, we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market values of the properties as at 30 April 2015 (the ‘‘Date of Valuation’’) for the purpose of incorporation in the Circular of the Company dated 29 May 2015.

1. BASIS OF VALUATION

Our valuations of the properties are our opinion of the market values of the concerned properties which we would define as intended to mean ‘‘the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion’’.

Market value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

2. PROPERTY CATEGORIZATION

In the course of our valuations, the properties owned by the Group are categorized into the following groups:

  • . Group I (Property held by the Group under construction in the PRC);

  • . Group II (Property held by the Group for owner-occupation in the PRC); and

– III-1 –

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX III

  • . Group III (Properties held by the Group under construction in the Republic of Korea).

3. VALUATION METHODOLOGIES

In valuing the properties in Groups I and III which are currently under development as at the Date of Valuation, we have assumed that they will be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposals provided to us by the Group. In arriving at our opinion of values, we have taken into account the construction cost and professional fees relevant to the stage of construction as at the Date of Valuation and the remainder of the cost and fees to be expended to complete the respective developments.

For the property No. 2, due to the specific purpose for which most of the buildings and structures of the property have been constructed, there are no readily identifiable market comparables. Thus the buildings and structures have been valued on the basis of its depreciated replacement costs instead of direct comparison method. The depreciated replacement cost approach (‘‘DRC’’) is based on an estimate of the Market Value for the existing use of the land, plus the current cost of replacement of the existing structures less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization. In practice, Depreciated Replacement Cost approach may be used as a substitute for the Market Value of specialized property only, due to the lack of market comparables available. Our valuation does not necessarily represent the amount that might be realized from the disposition of the property and the DRC is subject to adequate profitability of the concerned business.

4. TITLE INVESTIGATION

For the properties in the PRC and the Republic of Korea, we have been provided with extracts of various documents and have been advised by the Group that no further relevant documents have been produced. However, we have not examined the original documents to verify the existing titles to the properties or any amendment, which may not appear on the copies handed to us. We do not accept a liability for any interpretation which we have placed on such information which is more properly the sphere of your legal adviser. In the course of our valuation of the properties in the PRC, we have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Group and the Group’s PRC legal advisor, Jian Da Law Firm (景達律 師事務所) regarding the title to the properties in the PRC. All documents have been used for reference only.

We have also relied on the advice given by the Group that the Group has valid and enforceable titles to the properties which is freely transferable, and has free and uninterrupted right to use the same, for the whole of the unexpired term granted subject to the payment of annual government rent/land use fees and all requisite land premium/purchase consideration payable have been fully settled.

– III-2 –

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX III

5. VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuations have been made on the assumption that the owners sell the properties in the market in their existing states without the benefit of deferred term contracts, leasebacks, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangements which would serve to affect the values of such properties. In addition, no account has been taken of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sale of the properties and no allowance has been made for the properties to be sold in one lot or to a single purchaser.

6. SOURCE OF INFORMATION

In the course of our valuations, we have relied to a very considerable extent on the information provided by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, identification of properties, particulars of occupation, site/floor areas, ages of buildings and all other relevant matters which can affect the values of the properties. All documents have been used for reference only.

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

7. VALUATION CONSIDERATION

We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of certain properties. No structural survey has been made in respect of the properties. However, in the course of our inspections, we did not note any serious defects. We are not, however, able to report that the properties are free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out on any of the building services.

We have not carried out on-site measurement to verify the site/floor areas of the properties under consideration but we have assumed that the site/floor areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. Except as otherwise stated, all dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificates are based on information contained in the documents provided to us by the Group and are therefore approximations.

No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the properties nor for any expenses 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 values.

Our valuations are prepared in compliance with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers, and in accordance with the HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

– III-3 –

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX III

For the purpose of compliance with Rule 11.3 of the Code on Takeovers and Mergers and as advised by the Group, the potential tax liabilities which may arise from the sale of the properties in the PRC include: (i) PRC business tax (equivalent to 5% of sales revenue); (ii) PRC land appreciation tax (equivalent to 30%-60% of the net appreciation amount); and (iii) PRC corporate income tax (25%). For the property No. 1 of Group I and No. 2 of Group II, the likelihood of the potential tax liability being crystallized is remote as the Company has no intention to dispose of its property interest.

As advised by the Group, the potential tax liabilities which would arise on the disposal of the property interests held by the Group in the Republic of Korea, there is a comprehensive real estate holding tax (equivalent to 0.75%-2% of the net appreciation amount). For the property Nos. 3 and 4 of Group III, the likelihood of the potential tax liability being crystallized is remote as the Company has no intention to dispose of its property interest.

8. REMARKS

Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts stated in our valuations are in Renminbi (‘‘RMB’’) and South Korean Won (‘‘KRW’’).

Our Summary of Values and Valuation Certificates are attached.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of Roma Appraisals Limited
