LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE INVESTMENT AGREEMENT
The Group is principally engaged in media and entertainment business and provision of online and offline healthcare and wellness services.
As stated in the Company’s circular dated 14 January 2016 (the “ Subscription Circular ”) in relation to the subscription of Shares by a group of investors, including Huayi Brothers, the Company will invest in, develop and operate offline and online cultural and new media business in China and overseas and intends to leverage on the support of Huayi Brothers and tap into international investment opportunities, for example, in Hollywood production and Korean productions.
HB Entertainment is one of the reputable privately owned TV drama producer companies in Korea. It has a track record of producing high-quality and popular TV drama series including “My Love from the Star” (來自星星的你) casted by Jun Ji-Hyun (全智賢) and Kim Soo-Hyun (金 秀賢), “You’re All Surrounded” (你們被包圍了) and “Yong Pal” (龍八夷), and also owns certain intellectual property rights of the TV drama series “My Love from the Star” (來自星星的你), which was a huge success and contributed to the high revenue and profit level for year 2014. Although HB Entertainment’s revenue dropped by 23% in year 2015, the Company is of the view that HB Entertainment has the capacity and talents to create new blockbuster TV drama series. The Company also understands that there is currently one TV drama being produced by HB Entertainment, namely “Cinderella and the Four Knights” (灰姑娘與四騎士), and it is expected that a total of three TV dramas would be produced by HB Entertainment by end of 2016. By investing in a minority stake in HB Entertainment, the Group would be able to tap into the Korean media and entertainment market and be exposed to more opportunities in investing in Korean cultural and media-related works such as Korean TV drama series, and in marketing and distribution (offline and online) of such Korean cultural and media-related works in China. Although the parties have not yet commenced any negotiation and/or reached any agreement on future marketing and distribution of the works in China and/or any assistance in TV production, the Company is of the view that by leveraging on the experiences and resources of the Company and its substantial Shareholder, Huayi Brothers, in Chinese movies and TV drama production and in Chinese artist management, the Investment can assist HB Entertainment in producing popular TV drama series and movies in the future with broader focus on the Greater China market, and hence further improve the business and financial performance of HB Entertainment which would in turn benefit the Group. Furthermore, upon the First CPS Subscription Closing Date and the Share Purchase Closing Date, the Company would be entitled to appoint one (out of four) director to the board of HB Entertainment, despite the Investment being a minority stake in HB Entertainment, which the Company believes would pave the way for future negotiations of cooperation with the Group.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP
The State Council has released the Guiding Opinions for Actively Promoting the “Internet Plus” Action Plan . On the cultural front, the Council proposes to develop new segments of diversified forms building on Internet-based cultural, media and tourism services. With regard to health management services, the Council voices support for the innovation and application of smart healthcare products, as well as encourages health service institutions to utilise various technologies, including cloud computing and big data to build platforms of public information and provide customised healthcare services featuring continuous tracking, prognosis and health alerts. The “Internet plus” concept would inject new momentum into the traditional culture and entertainment industry as well as the healthcare sector, guiding them towards transformation and upgrade. Supported by a number of favourable national policies, new segments like Internet-based culture and mobile healthcare have become the most sought-after investment opportunities. Directing the Group’s two major lines of businesses to cope with national policies, the Group aims at seizing opportunities to reach new heights in the future and ushering its operations to the next stage in their development.
According to Prospects of China’s Culture and Entertainment Industry issued by Deloitte, China’s culture and entertainment industry is expected to be worth RMB1 trillion by 2020. The Chinese film industry is going to become a RMB200 billion sector by then, overtaking North America in box office receipts and admissions to become the world’s biggest film market. As a result, China’s cultural industry is predicted to enter its Golden Age during the 13th Fiveyear Plan. Having brought in Huayi Brothers and Tencent Holdings Limited (“ Tencent ”) as its strategic shareholders, the majority of the Group’s newly appointed board members also come from the core management of Huayi Brothers and Tencent. Relying on the vast resources from these two substantial shareholders, the Group intends to adopt a diversified investment approach towards projects related to the cultural and media industries, gradually establish its own pool of intellectual property rights, and actively seek opportunities to invest in quality international projects from Hollywood and Korea. Furthermore, the Group plans to build a comprehensive entertainment platform that integrates key functions including online promotion, marketing, distribution and sales, with a view to becoming a company known for high potential within the online to offline cultural sector as well as the new media industry.

2.4 Foreign Currency Translation
(1) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial information are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment (the “ functional currency ”). HBE’s functional currency is the Korean won and the financial information is presented in HK dollars (HK$).
(2) Translation into the presentation currency
The results and financial position of HBE have been translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period;
-
income and expenses for each statement of income are translated at average exchange rates; and
-
equity is translated at the historical exchange rate; and
-
all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income
2.5 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months.
2.6 Financial Assets
(1) Classification and measurement
Financial assets have been classified in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, loans and receivables, and held-to-maturity financial assets. Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade date.
A regular way purchase of financial assets shall be recognized as applicable, using trade date accounting. At initial recognition, financial assets are measured at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the statement of income. After the initial recognition, availablefor-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables, and held-to-maturity investments are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in profit or loss and changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. When the available-for-sale financial assets are sold or impaired, the fair value adjustments recorded in equity are reclassified into profit or loss.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HB ENTERTAINMENT
APPENDIX II
(2) Impairment
Management 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. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or a group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Impairment of loans and receivables is presented as a deduction in an allowance account. Impairment of other financial assets is directly deducted from their carrying amount. HBE writes off financial assets when the assets are determined to be no longer recoverable.
The objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired includes significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor; significant delinquency in interest or principal payments; or the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties. Significant or continuance decline in the fair value of an availablefor-sale equity instrument is also an objective evidence of impairment.
(3) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statements of financial position where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of HBE or the counterparty.
2.7 Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at its cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditures that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation on property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the difference between their cost and their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Vehicles Office equipment |
Estimated Useful Lives |
|---|---|
| 5 years 5 years |
The depreciation method, residual values and useful lives of property and equipment are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and, if appropriate, accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.

APPENDIX II
2.8 Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, except for goodwill, are shown at historical cost which includes acquisition cost, production cost and other costs required to prepare the asset for its intended use. These assets have definite useful lives and are carried at historical cost less accumulated amortization. Assets with definite useful lives, except for copyright are amortized using the straight-line method according to the estimated useful lives presented below.
Estimated Useful Lives
Software 5 years Exclusive Contract Terms of contract
Copyright of drama is amortized over its contract term or period of revenue realization based on the consumption pattern of the economic benefit.
2.9 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested annually for impairment. Depreciable assets are tested for impairment when there is any indication an asset may be impaired.
Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Non-financial assets, other than goodwill, that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
2.10 Financial Liabilities
(1) Classification and measurement
HBE’s financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial instruments held for trading and designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities held for trading are financial liabilities that are incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing them in the near term and derivatives that are not designated as hedges or bifurcated from financial instruments containing embedded derivatives. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are structured financial liabilities containing embedded derivatives issued by HBE.
HBE classifies non-derivative financial liabilities, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial guarantee contracts and financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of financial assets does not qualify for derecognition, as financial liabilities carried at amortized cost and presented as ‘trade payables’, ‘borrowings’, and ‘other financial liabilities’ in the statement of financial position.
(2) Derecognition
Financial liabilities are removed from the statement of financial position when it is extinguished, for example, when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired or when the terms of an existing financial liability are substantially modified.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HB ENTERTAINMENT
APPENDIX II
2.11 Employee Benefits
(1) Post-employment benefits
HBE has defined benefit plan as its pension scheme. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. Typically defined benefit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension obligation. The remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income.
If any plan amendments, curtailments, or settlements occur, past service costs or any gains or losses on settlement are recognized as profit or loss for the year.
2.12 Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the rendering of services arising from the normal activities of HBE. It is stated as net of value added taxes.
HBE recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have been met for each of HBE’s activities, as described below. HBE bases its estimate on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
(1) Rendering of services
Under accrual basis of accounting, HBE is recognizing revenue when profit yielding process is completed or substantially completed, the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow into HBE.
(2) Interest income
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method according to the time passed. When a loan and receivable is impaired, HBE reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans and receivables is recognized using the original effective interest rate.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF HB ENTERTAINMENT
APPENDIX II
2.13 Current and Deferred Income Tax
The tax expense for the period consists of current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized on the profit for the period in the statement of income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Management periodically evaluates tax policies that are applied in tax returns in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. HBE recognizes current income tax on the basis of the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred tax is recognized for temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts as expected tax consequences at the recovery or settlement of the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if they arise from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liability is recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in associates except to the extent that HBE is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax asset is recognized for deductible temporary differences arising from such investments to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
2.14 Dividend
Dividend distribution to HBE’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the financial information in the period in which the dividends are approved by HBE’s shareholders.

APPENDIX II
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
HBE makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated with consideration to factors such as events reasonably predictable in the foreseeable future within the present circumstance according to historical experience. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.
3.1 Net defined benefit liability
The present value of net defined benefit liability depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions including the discount rate (Note 15)
4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
4.1 Financial Risk Factors
HBE’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk and liquidity risk. HBE’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on HBE’s financial performance.
Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the board of directors. The board reviews and approves written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and investment of excess liquidity.
4.1.1 Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding trading receivables. If customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. If there is no independent rating, the credit quality of the customer is evaluated taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. The book value of financial instruments represents the maximum amount of credit exposures.
The maximum exposure to credit risk as of January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, is as follows:
| Cash and cash equivalents Trade receivables Other financial assets (current) Other financial assets (non-current) |

4.2 Capital Risk Management
HBE’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard HBE’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, HBE may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Consistent with others in the industry, HBE monitors capital on the basis of the debt-toequity ratio. This ratio is calculated as dividing the total equity by total liabilities.
HBE’s debt-to-equity ratio as of January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, are as follows:

In addition, in FY2014, HB Entertainment produced some new TV drama series including “Punch” (重擊) and “Run, Rose” (奔跑吧玫瑰) and entered into six new artist management contracts with Korean celebrities.
Cost of sales of HB Entertainment for FY2014 amounted to approximately HK$194.8 million, representing an increase of 210.7% compared with FY2013.

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
Notes to the unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group
-
The amounts are extracted from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 31 December 2015 as set out in the published annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2015.
-
For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information only, the amounts denominated in KRW have been translated into HK$ at the exchange rate of KRW1 to HK$0.0066.
-
Pursuant to the agreement relating to the Transaction (“ Investment Agreement ”), the Company will purchase 46,666 shares of the Target Company from the existing shareholders of the Target Company at a purchase price of KRW28,084,800,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$185,360,000) (the “ Share Purchase ”) subject to adjustments, and will subscribe for 23,334 convertible preferred stocks (“ CPS ”) at the subscription price of KRW14,042,400,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$92,679,000) (“ CPS Subscription ”).
-
The adjustment represents the consideration for the Share Purchase. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, 90% of the purchase price amounting to KRW25,276,320,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$166,824,000) shall be payable upon the completion of the Share Purchase. The purchase price of the Share Purchase shall be subject to adjustments if the aggregate audited net profits after tax of the Target Company for the year ending 31 December 2016 and 2017 are more or less than KRW12,872,200,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$84,956,000) (the ‘‘ Profit Level ’’), and the maximum purchase price shall not exceed KRW30,893,280,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$203,896,000) and the minimum purchase price shall not be below KRW25,276,320,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$166,824,000). The difference between the adjusted purchase price and the amount paid by the Company shall be payable upon the Company’s receipt of the audit report of the Target Company for the year ending 31 December 2017. The payable of KRW2,581,681,833 (equivalent to approximately HK$17,039,000) was recognised after taking into account of the discount rate.
For the purpose of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, it is assumed that the Profit Level will be achieved such that the consideration for the Share Purchase shall not require any adjustment. On that basis, the fair value of this contingent consideration is estimated to be insignificant. The Share Purchase will be accounted for using equity accounting as prescribed in Hong Kong Accounting Standards 28 (2011) “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” (“ HKAS 28 ”), and the consideration of the Share Purchase of approximately HK$183,863,000 is accounted for as “Interests in an associate”.
– 77 –
APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
- The adjustment represents the consideration for the CPS Subscription. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the CPS Subscription shall take place in two tranches. Immediately upon the issuance of the audit report of the Target Company for the year ending 31 December 2016 and 2017 (but no later than 31 March 2018), the Target Company shall convert the CPS into its shares. The CPS shall be converted into shares of the Target Company on the basis of 1:1. However, the conversion ratio shall be subjected to adjustments if the aggregated audited net profits after tax of the Target Company for the year ending 31 December 2016 and 2017 are more or less than the Profit Level, subject to a ceiling of 1 CPS to 1.11 shares of the Target Company and a floor of 1 CPS to 0.91 share of the Target Company.
Under the first tranche of CPS subscription, the Company will subscribe for 2,864 CPS at the subscription price of KRW1,723,555,053 (equivalent to approximately HK$11,375,000) (“ First CPS Subscription ”), which shall be payable simultaneously with or prior to the Share Purchase. The First CPS Subscription contains a host contract that is accounted for as “Available-for-sale financial assets” and a conversion option which is accounted for as “Derivative” (“ First Derivative ”). For the purpose of this Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, it is assumed that the Profit Level will be achieved such that the conversion ratio shall not require any adjustment. Measurement of fair value of the Available-for-sale financial assets also takes into account the par value and history of dividend distribution. The fair value of Available-for-sale financial assets is estimated to be KRW1,723,555,053 (equivalent to approximately HK$11,375,000), while the fair value of the First Derivative is estimated to be insignificant with the consideration of the compulsory conversion feature and insignificant adjustment possibility.
Under the second tranche of CPS Subscription, the Company will subscribe for 20,470 CPS at the subscription price of KRW12,318,844,947 (equivalent to approximately HK$81,304,000) (“ Second CPS Subscription ”). The Second CPS Subscription shall take place within 12 months following the completion of the First CPS Subscription. The Second CPS Subscription shall be accounted for as “Derivative” (“ Second Derivative ”) and initially recognised at fair value. The fair value of the Second Derivative is insignificant as the present value of the forward price approximates market price. The fair value measurement also takes into account of forward exchange rate and discount rate.
-
The adjustment represents the estimated transaction costs payable by the Company upon completion of the Transaction, which included the costs of legal advisers, financial adviser and reporting accountant for the Transaction. The estimated total transaction costs of HK$4,763,000 will be settled in cash.
-
No adjustments have been made to reflect any trading results or other transactions of the Group entered into subsequent to 31 December 2015. The final amounts of interests in an associate, available-for-sale financial assets, derivatives and contingent consideration payable would be subjected to the changes in the key assumptions underlying the respective fair value measurements and may be different upon the completion of the Transaction.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
To the Directors of Huayi Tencent Entertainment Company Limited
We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of Huayi Tencent Entertainment Company Limited (the “ Company ”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “ Group ”), and HB Entertainment Co., Ltd. (the “ Target Company ”) (collectively the “ Enlarged Group ”) by the directors for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2015, and related notes (the “ Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information ”) as set out on pages 74 to 78 of the Company’s circular dated 13 June 2016, in connection with the proposed investment in the Target Company (the “ Transaction ”) by the Company. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information are described on pages 74 to 78.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the Transaction on the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 as if the Transaction had taken place at 31 December 2015. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position has been extracted by the directors from the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015, on which an audit report has been published.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The directors are responsible for compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Listing Rules ”) and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 “Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars” (“ AG 7 ”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“ HKICPA ”).

Our Independence and Quality Control
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirement of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.
Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 issued by the HKICPA and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Reporting Accountant’s Responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 “Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus”, issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant plans and performs procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.
For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.
The purpose of unaudited pro forma financial information included in a circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the entity as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the Transaction at 31 December 2015 would have been as presented.
– 80 –
APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:
-
The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
-
The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.
The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of the company, the event or transaction in respect of which the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.
The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the unaudited pro forma financial information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion:
-
(a) the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled by the directors of the Company on the basis stated;
-
(b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and
-
(c) the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.
